    Summary

    “Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”

    “Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.

    “How do you know?”

    Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.

    That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.

    “He has to know,” Andrew says.

    “Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”

    Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

    Summary

    “Mr. Minyard,” said the doctor, “Can you tell me who this is?”

    Andrew looked at Neil, his gaze clinical, “I don’t know.”

    Memory is a funny thing, Neil thought, even as he felt himself unravel uncontrollably as he looked into the eyes of the man he loved and saw only distrust.

    Summary

    What happens when the new striker girl gets a little too close to Neil and Andrew gets a little too close to human? or...

    "Andrew," Neil started with a hint of exasperation, he was frowning, "we'll watch this later I promise."

    The other male kept impassive, "I don't care, I'm watching it now." Neil narrowed his eyes slightly.

    "Did you hear what she said, Andrew? This movie isn't going anywhere." Andrew had, unfortunately, and he glared back.

    "Did you hear what she said, Neil? Neither am I," he mocked; Neil's frown deepened.
