    Summary

    Andrew realises he’s faced with two choices: hold onto this or let it go forever.
    And he hates that.
    Almost as much as he hates Neil.
    He watches as Neil turns away, walks up the length of the room once, stops, looks back. “It’s ok,” he says, his voice drained of any emotion, face set. Sure. Resigned. “You always said this was nothing.”
    Andrew nods. Remembers there’s a cigarette dangling between his fingers, so brings it back up to his lips, holds it there, doesn’t even bother breathing in.
    “Ok,” Neil says again, and leaves the room.
    ---
    before andrew graduates, neil asks him to make a choice.

    How would things be different if Nathaniel and his mother had been in Seattle early enough to put him in California the same time as Andrew? What if their paths had crossed back then? What if Andrew's first promise wasn't to Aaron but to Nathaniel?

    Summary

    "What is your name." He wouldn't care usually, but the way this kid had avoided it last time he asked, he was curious.
    "I've had six so far." He answers slowly, weighing each word. "Which one do you want?"
    Six names? Yep, there is something going on there.
    "The real one. The one that fits you best."
    "Not my birth name then?" He sounds almost hopeful?
    Andrew waits until he sorts through his thoughts. He has another hour before he has to go back.
    "Abram." He decides after a long pause. "It's my middle name. The only one that doesn't have to change because it can just as easily be left out."
