    Summary

    It's as simple as this: people like Andrew, destructive and joyless, don't get a happy ending.

    If only Neil Josten had stayed a dream.

     

    (The King's Men by Nora Sakavic but from Andrew's point of view instead of Neil's --using the novel and Nora's extra tumblr content to try and be as accurate (hopefully) as possible)

    Summary

    It's all Aaron's fault.

    Really, it is.

    He threw away Andrew's ice cream, and left him with no other choice but to walk to the sketchy gas station in the middle of the night. No other choice.

    Maybe Andrew should send him a thank you card.

    OR

    Neil works at a gas station that isn't quite a gas station, and Andrew can't stop coming back for more.

    Summary

    "Andrew’s arm slides around Neil’s waist, slow enough that Neil could stop him if he wanted to. He doesn’t. He lets Andrew pull him in against his chest, one arm tight around him, solid and unyielding. Protective, though against what, Neil isn’t sure.

    The heat of Andrew’s body sinks into him almost immediately, thawing some of the chill lodged deep in his bones. Neil hadn’t realized just how cold he was until now. He curls closer without thinking about it.

    Andrew’s hand spreads flat against his side, slipping under his shirt carefully. “You’re freezing,” he mutters after a minute.

    “It’s just cold in here.” Neil closes his eyes and adds, “But you’re warm.”

    Andrew makes a quiet, irritated sound at that, but he doesn’t let go. Neil lets himself sink into the warmth instead of thinking about the blood or the pain or the way his body feels increasingly foreign to him. He focuses on Andrew’s heartbeat beneath his cheek. The steady rise and fall of his breathing. Eventually, Andrew’s grip tightens almost imperceptibly around him, like he’s afraid Neil might disappear if he loosens it too much."

    OR

    Neil isn't feeling well, but he's fine. Totally fine. Nothing to worry about here!
