Andrew carrying Neil’s bag after an away game because Neil’s legs wint stop shaking from how fast he ran
Holy shit
Holy shit I just came up with the best follow up headcannon on why Neil and Andrew don’t wear their wedding/promise rings on their fingers but instead hang it on necklaces/keychains:
Tilda always wore the promise ring the twins’ dad gave her, even if the promise was broken.
Mary and Nathan both wore rings, and rings hurt pretty fucking bad on skin.
Neil doesn’t want him and Andrew to end up like Mary and Nathan or Tilda, Andrew caught on these and agreed and thats why
Colored pens
fluff
I like to think that Neil switched his major to mathematics after the books have ended; or at least took another course relating to it.
I also like to think that Renne gave him three colored pens as a gift because she didnt need them anymore.
Neil used them a lot in his notes, andrew sometimes saw them all over Neil’s table in his dorm- not understanding most of them but reading over them anyways
Andrew looked at Neil’s pens and saw that each one of them was dying except for the black one.
So Andrew decided to get Neil a gift.
He got Neil a set of colored pens and put it in Neil’s school bag without him knowing.
When he came back to the dorm that night there was a note on his pillow; a drawing.
Two foxes with jersey’s on them, one having 3 written at the front and the other 10, one holding a colorful exy rocket and the other an ice cream cone with 10 scoops of different colors.
Andrew will not admit he kept it in his wallet.
Neil hates sweets
Its true!
Neil josten doesn’t like sweets.
Andrew, on the other hand, breaths and lives on suger.
But,
If there’s a dessert Andrew won’t ever eat, it’ll have to be Thai Banana Roti (because the banana texture grosses him out)
On the other hand, if there’s one desert Neil would eat, it’ll be Thai Banana Roti, even though he doesn’t like the dough.
It works great though, Neil would eat the bananas and Andrew would eat the dough.
For you, I’ll quit.
Andreil fluff+happy ending
*Not medically correct
It started small, Neil would open the car window on his side as well when Andrew smoked on drives. Later, Neil would go on a run whenever Andrew smoked inside the dorm. Andrew didnt mind it at first, but he started suspecting something was.. wrong.
When Andrew smoked on the roof, Neil wouldn’t sit as close to him. When Andrew kissed Neil after smoking Neil lookes out of breath much quicker. Andrew noticed that. After games, Neil would hurry to the locker room
One night Andrew woke up to Neil’s breath being short and uneven. Something was really wrong, but Andrw didn’t wanna push Neil to tell him. Then Neil got a cold, and Aaron sprained his ankle, and Renne catched a cold from Neil and Andrew’s nose may have been running.
So the four were sitting miserably on the bean bags with a true crime movie playing on the TV which Andrew found himself enjoying.
Neil sneezed three times and than started coughing, the cup with hot tea Neil was holding spilled all over the bean bag and Neil’s clothing.
Renne got up quick to get papers and Andrew took the tea cup away from Neil. Then Aaron asked a question “Neil do you have asthma?”
The next week Andrew took Neil to a doctor to get checked, they waited for three hours before they got called to hear the results. Andrew and Neil walked to Dr.Aven’s office and sat in the chairs. The doctor gave them a warm smile.
“Well, Neil you have intermittent asthma. Its not dangerous, no need to worry. You can still play exy and run but I need you to get an inhaler for yourself in case of emergency. I need you to stop smoking as well, it can make your asthma worse.”
Dr. Aven printed a piece of paper and gave it to Neil after signing on it “here you go, drive safe kids.” Neil and Andrew left the office. When Andrew and Neil got out of the building Andrew pulled the pack of cigs out of his pocket and held it infront of Neil “why didnt you tell me its bothering you?”
“It doesn’t”
“859%, Josten.”
Neil sighed
“because I didnt want you to make a deal out of it. It doesn’t bother me, I can handle it.”
“Its dangerous for you. You can get sicker.”
Neil bite his lip anxious and shrugged. Andrew sighed and continued walking to the Maserati, throwing his new pack in the trash can on the way “Drew!- why did you? Its a new pack”
“I’m quitting.”
“Andrew!”
Andrew bought lollipops and gummies, a lot. And gums. For the first week Neil tried getting him to have a cigarette but Andrew won’t budge and Neil gave up. Neil did get better
Head empty, thinking about Andrew planting fruit trees and bushes because Neil loves fruits and then Neil making sweets with the fruits because Andrew likes sweets.

*I think Neil knew how to swim in the past but after his mom died he was scared of the water
Neil “I am nothing, and you always said you need nothing” Josten and Andrew “you were supposed to be a side effect of the drugs” Minyard
The moon was shining brightly on the night sky and the way it reflected on Andrew’s hair seemed ridiculous and perfect in a way Neil was now used to.
He wondered once more if somehow he was dreaming and was now part of some delusional reality were he and Andrew were free men, not bound to any crowns or kingdoms.
But then again, Andrew’s eyes seemed too beautiful in moonlight to ever wonder if it was a delusion.
“Staring”
Andrew said, as if sensing Neil on his periphery. Neil only hummed in agreement but didn’t even bother to try and look anywhere else. Andrew was simply to breathtaking.
“You’re gonna injure yourself if you keep thinking so hard”
Andrew mused.
“Yeah that’s about right”
Neil commented while moving his gaze upwards and trying to count the stars to compare them with Andrew’s freckles.
Who would have thought that Prince Andrew of Palmetto, someone known to be as cold and sharp as ice, was a man with endless freckles on his face if you looked close enough? No one actually, so Neil happily kept looking for constellations and thinking about how would they look on Andrew’s face.
“What are you thinking about?”
“What?”
Neil snapped from his thoughts just in time to see Andrew’s unamused face looking at him.
“What are you thinking about that has you making that stupid face, Oh Revered, Prince Neil of Baltimore.”
Andrew said it with a solemn air, as if thinking he was funny when he said things like that, as if Neil didn’t hate his title enough.
“Oh your highness, I plead of you to bear in mind my weak heart against your incredible sense of humor.”
Neil said snidely, but it looked like Andrew was not taking his elusiveness.
“Neil cut the bullshit, I know you’re worried about something, spit it out.”
Well, there went Neil’s plan of not bearing his heart out tonight but with Andrew he shouldn’t have expected anything else.
“It’s nothing… I just, I’ve been imagining things, even when you haven’t asked me to. I imagined that I ran away and met you here on Palmetto, the best fighter of the Royal guard, and I’m not yours but I make you so happy anyway, isn’t that ridiculous? Tell me to stop.”
Neil was rambling, he knew this and he was also aware of the shaking of his hands, it was a stupid thing to say. What was he thinking? , he couldn’t just say this to Andrew and expect something back, it was unfair, and now Andrew probably hated him and didn’t want to see him anymore.
Andrew was probably so enraged he wanted to declare war to Baltimore judging by the way he hadn’t said anything yet, so not only Neil has fucked up everything between them , but he also singlehandedly managed a war in less that 4 minutes. Oh god this was going to be awfu-
“Don’t stop”
Andrew said in a whisper. Neil freezed.
“Neil, don’t ever stop.”
And then Andrew was slowly bringing up his hand to cup Neil’s face in it, he touched his face like it was something fragile and precious. He made soft circles on the skin of his cheek until he reached his mouth, were he touched gently Neil’s bottom lip with his thumb and Neil felt.
Neil felt like fire was eating him up from the inside, he felt like in his stomach their two enemy kingdoms were at war and Neil was the battlefield. He felt like starstruck Icarus looking at the sun up close from the first time knowing it would be the death of him.
“Neil”
Andrew said patiently, and Neil finally broke away from his thoughts to look at him. To look at Andrew who somehow reflected everything Neil was feeling at that very moment.
“Yes or no?”
Andrew whispered it like a secret , so close to Neil’s face he felt Andrew’s breath of his lips.
“Yes”
And with a gentle hand, Andrew grabbed Neil by the back of his head, hand in his hair, and kissed him.
AndOh it was everything he ever dreamed it would be like but better. Andrew kissed like his life was on the line, like treaties and wars didn’t even matter when kissing Neil could be the last thing he would ever do in his life. He kissed like he’d been famished his whole life and Neil was the only food he would ever have.
And Neil responded to this need and want appropriately. He was surprised himself with the fever want that rose through his body at the thought of having Andrew so close. He felt like they could never be apart, like they were fusing with each other leaving no space for either of their kingdoms in between. It was just the two of them. Neil felt like he could defeat armies and take down kingdoms as long as he had Andrew by his side.
They broke apart with a sigh, and Neil looked up to hazel eyes that were already looking at him.
“Stay”
“Here? In Palmetto?”
“In Palmetto, in the forest beyond this castle, on the other side of the sea, I don’t care. Just stay.”
Andrew speaks in whispers as if afraid that saying it louder would trigger something and Neil would disappear into thin air.
- Andrew I would burn the world for you, I would leave my title and linege in a heartbeat. As long as you let stay there’s no other place I would rather be.
Andrew brings their faces together so their foreheads are resting on one another and takes a deep breath.
Neil takes Andrew’s hand and squeezes tightly. Their hands shake with the weight of the meaning this moment has, the weight of their kingdoms and expectations that take a toll on their bodies with the slightest gaze or brush of skin they share that feels forbidden.
“Neil, yes or no?”
Neil knew what the question was meant for. It meant fighting, it meant fighting for them, for their future and the hopeful future of their kingdoms . It meant the possibility of waking up with Andrew by his side every day for the rest of his life. It was too good to let go.
Neil brought his face back pressed a kiss on Andrew’s cheek.
- Yes, Andrew, it’s always yes with you.
i was thinking about how Edgy™ andrew is from neil’s pov but so many fans have realized he is really just a gay traumatized emo kid
so i have decided that andrew is definitely very active on twitter and has a substantial following. he mainly posts about his stupid little boyfriend, horrific food combinations, jokes about therapy, and random gay thoughts
none of the foxes knew he had twitter (except for his stupid boyfriend) so when his PR agent got on his back about being active on social medie he just changed his twitter handle to his name and that’s how he came out
allison feels betrayed because she had been following andrew for almost as long as he’d been twittering and is horrified that she actually thinks andrew is a funny person
this one went up on the ol insta so might as well also post it here, fenn doing aftg fanart in 2022 (real)
Andrew: just be yourself!
Neil: which one?
lets take a minute and imagine…
few years later, Andrew and Neil are on the same team
Coach: where is Andrew?

Coach: you mean born?
Andreil be like
neil ver
neil: What goes up but never comes down?
