It’s the All For The Game @allforthegamebingo Advent Calendar time!

Day One: hot chocolate - pillow fights - bookstore au || "what did i do to deserve you?"

Andrew x Neil

The house in Columbia was quiet, the only sounds were the wood settling in the cold and the steady breathing of two sleeping men. Neil’s eyes cracked open first. He did a quick scan of his body and came back positive. Based on the fact that both of them had slept through the night, it was going to be a good morning.

Neil did his best to slip out of bed and head to the bathroom in the hall to wash up without waking up Andrew. The clock on his phone told him it was just after seven. After he peed and brushed his teeth, Neil made his way down the stairs towards the kitchen with a plan forming in his mind.

Andrew had ordered Chinese for them last night and the take away containers still littered the counter. Neil cleaned up before talking out a pan, a bowl, a whisk, and some of their “just add water” pancake mix. The coffee maker stayed cold - he didn’t want to risk the smell waking Andrew before Neil was ready.

Once the pancakes were done, syrup generously poured and chocolate chips sprinkled, Neil popped on the electric kettle. Thank god they had re-upped on hot chocolate Andrew liked when they were at the store last night. Neil pulled the tin of peppermint hot chocolate and retrieved the mini marshmallows from the cabinet.

The tray he used to pile the plate of pancakes, small bowl of strawberries, and two mugs of hot chocolate had been a gift from Abby. It was made of rich, dark wood and had two handles on top for easy carrying. Neil crept back upstairs and creaked open the bedroom door. Of course, Andrew was awake. Neil didn’t mind that his surprise was not as surprising as he’d hoped. The surprise wasn’t the point.

Andrew looked up at him, his eyes flicking between Neil’s face and the mountain of breakfast he was holding. With the balance of a top athlete, Neil slid back into bed and placed the tray onto Andrew’s lap. After careful consideration, Andrew chose to pick up the hot chocolate first. If Neil kissed away his milky mustache after the first sip, well, no one but them had to know.

AFTG Advent Calendar: Day One

Hot Chocolate - Pillow Fights - Bookstore AU || "What did I do to deserve you?"

Andrew Minyard x Neil Josten

@allforthegamebingo

Boom

Neil shuddered from his spot on the couch. The rain was slapping against the windows as the wind whipped through the trees outside. A steady tap, tap, tap. Neil stared blankly at the wall; a small section of the white paint was chipping off of the wall. He and Andrew had tried to hang a picture there once, but the wall put up more of a fight than either of them had anticipated. 

It was drawing closer to 4 in the morning, but Neil couldn’t find it in himself to sleep. He knew a lot of people would have been lulled to sleep by the storm. He knew for a fact that Matt would be passed out in his bed right now; rain always brought a sense of peace to him. Neil wished he could feel that sense of peace right now. 

His eyes stayed open, a loud voice echoing in his head reminding him that loud noises meant people could sneak up easier. Sharp nails gripping his jaw and yanking harshly. You do not sleep during storms, Abram. They cover footsteps. If you can’t hear something as quiet as footfall, then we’re dead. You stay awake.

Another shiver runs down his spine as the room lights up briefly. Neil shook his head and tore his eyes away from the wall. His eyes caught on a shadow in the hallway, and Neil couldn’t help his visceral reaction. His body jerked sideways as his heart jumped into his throat. Andrew blinked bleary eyes at him as he shuffled his sock-clad feet closer to the coach. “Neil?” He took a moment to slow his rabbiting heart before answering in a croaky voice, “I’m fine.” 

Andrew rubbed his hand over his eye an unimpressed look on his face. “It’s four in the morning. Why are you in the living room?” Neil let his eyes sweep across the room as he gave himself a moment to sort his thoughts. He wouldn’t lie to Andrew, but the full answer felt too raw. “Don’t like storms.” Andrew’s eyes seemed to sharpen a bit as he woke up, and he studied Neil’s face for a moment. He tried his best not to squirm under Andrew's gaze, willing his body to still, and only then did he realize his hands were shaking.

Andrew must have decided it wasn’t the right time to push and instead sighed heavily before making it the rest of the way to the couch. He flopped down sluggishly, dragging the blanket lying over the back of the couch with him. He reached for the remote before lying down, his head hovering over Neil’s lap as if waiting for permission. “Yes,” Neil whispers softly. Andrew’s head settled gently on Neil’s thigh. He found himself settling back into the couch as well, the last bits of tension draining away. Andrew scrolled through different channels before coming across the Wizard of Oz and turning the volume down. 

They sat in comfortable silence for a while, the buzz of the old TV and the raging storm the only sounds that filled the room. Faint jingles made their way toward them as Sir and King trotted toward them. King meowed grumpily as he jumped onto the back of the couch to curl up. Neil watched as Sir climbed up after King, getting comfortable curled around the other cat. 

He hovered his hand over Andrew’s head, a silent yes or no. Andrew lifted his head to look at Neil’s hand before nodding and placing his head down once more. Neil let his hand drop the rest of the way and took a deep breath in. Andrew himself brought a sense of security, but that, combined with the soft glow of the TV and the purring by his head, had the voices in Neil’s head go quiet. 

His fingers slid smoothly through Andrew’s golden strands; his dull nails scratched against Andrew’s scalp. He felt more than saw Andrew’s shiver and smiled softly to himself. He let his head drop to the back of the couch as his eyes drifted closed.

-------

When Neil left in the morning for his daily run, he made sure to leave a mug of hot chocolate on the table for Andrew. An unspoken thank you for being there for him when he was tired and unsure of what was going on. Neil knew that Andrew had his back, and he knew that he had Andrew’s, but it still sent a wave of shock through him every time he saw it in action. 

Putting his earbuds in, he slipped silently out of the apartment.

hey y'all! I'm doing an advent calendar fic this year! (Wish me luck 😅)

I'll be following @allforthegamebingo 's foxes prompt list, so stay tuned!

We're starting off with the prompt 'hot chocolate' with Kandrew, which you can either read on ao3 or below the cut. Happy December ^.^

"It's just a cafe." 

Kevin's shoulders draw up farther around his ears, and Andrew pauses and turns to look at him head on. 

Kevin has been jumpy since Andrew picked him up twenty minutes ago. Andrew had asked him while he bundled his scarf in his lap what had him so skittish, and Kevin had just glared at him and gestured wordlessly like that was all the explanation needed. It wasn't, not really, but Andrew is well versed enough in Kevin's nerves that he let it drop, figuring that eventually Kevin would let him know, one way or another. 

"I've heard good things about it," Kevin snips back, but when he turns to catch Andrew watching him, says, "But we can always go somewhere else." Andrew doesn't know if he remembers Kevin ever ceding his choice without a fight, and that alone is enough to make Andrew open his door without a word, Kevin scrambling after him. Kevin beats him to the door and holds it open for him, and, at Andrew's raised eyebrow, rolls his eyes. 

"Fuck off," he mumbles, and Andrew holds up the hand not holding his cane in mock surrender. 

The place is nicer than their usual coffee stop that's stationed exactly between their two apartments, with wide windows letting in the soft winter light and booths that look like they won't be too cramped for the knee he busted last season. 

(Andrew had been... worried, when it took him out of the playing field for good, that that would be the end of it. He should have known better. Kevin doesn't believe in quitting, or giving up on lost causes. He wasn't going to start with Andrew. Andrew still feels some type of way about it almost a year later, and he refuses to label it as relief.)

They wait in line, Kevin telling him about his attempts to befriend the stray dog that lives under his stairwell with minimal input from Andrew, giving him a chance to look around and figure out where they can sit to both people watch and keep an eye on the door.

Kevin's going about it wrong, feeding it when he knows it isn't there, because he thinks that will make it trust him. Andrew tells him this as Kevin is paying. He waved Andrew off when he tried to pay, and then hip checked him when he tried to budge himself in front of the card reader anyway, so Andrew just leans back against the counter and watches him dig carefully through the receipts and business cards that he inexplicably keeps every time he's handed one in search of his card, eyebrows pulled together and shoulders still curiously hunched in. 

They sit down in the booth to wait for their order, both on the same side against the wall, Kevin boxed in so he can turn and lean against the wall with an arm thrown over the back of the booth like he usually does and Andrew on the outside so he can stretch his leg out into the aisle between tables. Andrew turns to flick him on the forehead. 

"Hey!" Kevin says, rubbing at the red mark, scowling at Andrew like he's the one owed an explanation. 

"Why are you being so weird?" 

Kevin shrugs at him, pink dusting across his cheek bones not entirely due to the cold they just escaped. "It's," Kevin pauses to wave a hand. "Different, like this. I don't know, I don't really go on dates." 

Kevin shrugs again, like he didn't just catapult every train of thought Andrew has ever had right off of their tracks with no way of coming back on line. 

Date?

Andrew stares dimly, not taking anything in for a long moment, before Kevin's name is called. 

Kevin taps his shoulder to be let out, but Andrew doesn't budge.

"Andrew, are you–"

"Date?" Andrew cuts him off, slightly strangled, and he thinks he should be commended for the "slight" aspect. 

Kevin's face pinches in confusion before paling. 

"Oh," he says, too loud for how close they're sitting, before scooting backwards into the wall and taking his arm back from where it was propped up over Andrew's shoulder. "Um." 

There's a wide wildness about his eyes, Andrew thinks, as they dart around Andrew's face, that exactly mirrors how Andrew feels. 

"I thought– Well, I said... and you agreed, so I thought... Andrew?" Kevin is saying words, Andrew is fairly sure, but nothing is getting through to Andrew, and he doesn't know if that's because Kevin isn't making sense or because his brain still isn't online. 

"Kevin, what the fuck are you talking about?" Andrew asks, but he suddenly understands. It's a date, Kevin had said, something odd about his tone, but Andrew had just poked him and said, obviously. 

The Kevin in front of him looks miserable. "Forget I said anything," he says, not meeting Andrew's eyes, "We can just– let's just go home, it's fine." 

"Shut up," Andrew spits, and Kevin deflates. 

"Okay," he says quietly, still not looking at him and picking at his hands. 

"No, just–" Andrew cuts himself off to reach forward and grab Kevin by the nape of his neck to get him to finally look at him. "I'm going to kiss you," he states, still strangled, and shakes Kevin's head slightly, and Kevin nods, eyes still wide but no longer wild. 

So Andrew does. 

They're still sitting in a cafe in the middle of the midafternoon weekend crowd, so it's not much more than a brush of lips, but Kevin sighs into it anyway, and Andrew's stomach does somersaults in response, and it doesn't stop even as he pulls away, even as Kevin follows his lips for a split second and takes a moment to open his eyes. 

Andrew's throat dries at the sight, and his tongue darts out to his lips to try to keep the lingering taste of him, and Kevin catches the action if the way his eyes flick down to his mouth is anything to go by. Andrew leans back forward again to recapture his lips, letting their tongues meet and his hands slide through Kevin's hair, letting Kevin grip his biceps like it's the only thing that's keeping him grounded, and Andrew can't believe they haven't done this already. 

Andrew pulls back abruptly, shuffling out of the booth and standing with a hand braced on the table before leaning back into Kevin's space. "We're not leaving our first date early to go fuck in the backseat of my car," he says, not quite sure who he's trying to convince, but the face that Kevin makes to the words is not helping his own resolve. Even so, Andrew follows the line of his neck with his eyes as he forces down a rough swallow.  "But I don't have any rules against taking you home after." Kevin doesn't quite cough at that. 

Andrew jerks his head towards the counter. "Now go get my hot chocolate." 

Kevin nods, then nods again, shaking himself a bit. The pink high on his cheeks has darkened to a scarlet, and Andrew wants to touch it to see if it feels as warm as it looks. "Am I asking for sprinkles?" he asks, and Andrew knows he's making fun of him. 

 He scoffs. "Obviously."

happy kevaaronmas!

similar to microfic monday (which has been on pause a little with how stressy everything has been irl recently, but i've been saving the prompts i've been sent for when i return to it asap!!), but advent calendar edition! basically. didn't have a good day, saw the @allforthegamebingo advent calendar prompts, and figured i could try a microfic a day to get back on vibe.

[fortheloveofexy]

Pretty sure @allforthegamebingo is hosting a bingo card fic writing event

Ohhhh I see!

I probably won't be participating this time as I've already done so many things for fan events this year (I'm still a little worn out from mixtape LOL) and I'm already committed to some other fan projects coming out in the summer. Plus tsc will be out soon and I fully expect that to take up all room in my brain for a good long while.

Maybe next time!

[allforthegamebingo]

PPROMPT SUGGESTIONS OPEN!

get to suggesting everyone!

[allforthegamebingo]

Hi! I just want to make sure, if I write/draw for the foxes edition, am I only allowed to make the foxes the sole focus or are other characters outside of the foxes allowed for the prompts? (For example, I want to write/draw Kevin/Jeremy for one of the foxes prompts)

Hi!

It is fine as long as the content that you create is for the aftg fandom.

Those are pretty much only the themes of the cards and what they were based on while i was creating them.

You can write/draw something for the foxes, the ravens, the trojans or for any side character using whichever edition (foxes, trojans or angst) you would like.

So you can write/draw Kevin/Jeremy for using whichever edition you would like.

Hope that I was able to help.

<3

[allforthegamebingo]

hi!

i have a few questions, because idk if i understood everything well (english is not my first language, so sorry if i make any mistakes)

you can choose more than one prompt, right? but are there any rules about mixing prompts? can you use two of the same edition (e.g. foxes edition) or both prompts have to be from different editions (e.g. foxes and angst editions).

and then, if you choose to write them, where does it have to be, here on tumblr or in ao3? i saw the collections of ao3 so i assume we post our fics and put them inside that collection?

and i think someone else asked it already, but i don't have to sign up anywhere and i'm free to use the prompts as i like and (hopefully) post them between today and the 24th of February?

that's all, thanks in advance and i really appreciate you doing this, it encourages me to write and makes it easier to come up with an idea as there already some hints. it's amazing that you take the time to make this happen <3

hi!

yep! you can choose more than one prompt. you can mix prompts too. the only rule for mixing prompts is that you can mix at most 6 prompts from the same edition. you can mix prompts across cards as you would like (but not more than 6 prompts per card once again).

you are free to share your work where ever you would like, however we can only reblog it if you share it on tumblr, and we will only know of it's existence if it's added to our AO3 collection, or if you use the tags for this event for your posts on tumblr.

yep! you don't have to sign up for this event anywhere. you can post your works between december 1st (today) and february 28th for us to be able to add them on to our list of created works that will be posted on tumblr and if you also want reblogs. but our AO3 collection will be open till december 1st of 2025.

thank you! <3
