#i only added charlie in there so ud know that he's besties with neil

[inahallucination]

au where jeff’s only a little older than todd and todd and jeff have a close relationship so todd’s over at welton every now and then and he meets neil (i know this is like 80% of my jeff anderson aus and 75% of my precanon anderperry aus but bear with me)

neil’s gets a big fat crush on him and ya know

he hangs out with todd whenever he’s there and he kinda knows jeff now too only becuz of that

so one day he’s there, doodling in his notebook (”neil anderson”) and someone sees it and like its not like todd’s a student here 

he only comes now and then to hang out iwht his brother for like 5 minutes and then get whisked away by neil

so they just see anderson and rumor spreads that neil’s got a thing for jeff and it gets back to the jeff anderson and jeff’s like ‘wait im like a solid 3% sure my brother’s got a thing for neil so i need to not only turn neil down but also guide him towards todd’

so jeff spends days upon days trying to hint to neil that there’s a better anderson for him

and like neil’s so confused as to whats going on

and he talks to charlie about it and charlie’s confused to becuz like both of them really just see jeff as todd’s (or neil’s crush's) older brother so the idea that jeff thinks that neil could like him doesn’t even cross his mind

and in the end todd comes over and hears that neil’s got a thing for an anderson and at first he’s like ‘omg what if its jeff’ but then he’s like ‘omg what if its me’ and he’s like how do i find this out 

so its just a long long time of neil trying to confess to todd, todd trying to figure out which anderson neil likes, and jeff trying to turn neil down whilst also setting him up with his brother

its a mess
