    Summary

    "I'm tired," Andrew managed at last. "Ask me again tomorrow."

    "I'm leaving tomorrow."

    "Then ask me the day after. Or the day after that. I'm not going anywhere."

    Neil Josten’s hands have been weapons, tools for escape, and reminders of everything he had to do to survive.
    Now, with Andrew on his lap and a future that, for once seems possible, Neil has to learn something he never thought he would need: how to stay.

    Summary

    “I haven’t had a home since my parents died,” Neil finished, his hand had clenched up, and then his head came up, meeting Andrew’s gaze, and there it was, that look on Neil’s face.

    The look that burned its way right through all of Andrew’s defenses. The look that made him hope for something he could never have. The look, that said Neil saw something in him that he couldn’t be. The look that made him want to try anyway.

    Andrew’s fingers closed around Neil’s cheek to push his face away, unable to look at him any longer, he said. “Don’t look at me like that. I am not your answer, and you sure as fuck aren’t mine.”

    “I’m not looking for an answer. I just want–” there was a desperation to Neil’s words, to the movements of his hands, as he gestured them through the air around him, in search of the thing he couldn’t name. Andrew got it, he did. Still searching for whatever it was that was missing, unable to tell what exactly it was that would fix him.

    “I’m tired of being nothing,” he ended up saying, and Andrew felt his heart sink.

    Summary

    “Your crush? That Tammy guy, or whatever. If he couldn’t see how amazing you are, he didn’t deserve you anyways.” Mike explains, his gaze intense as he smiles at Will.

    And all Will can think is: he cannot be that dense.

    --------------------

    Or, Mike Wheeler is, in fact, that dense, and Will Byers decides to confess right before he sacrifices himself.

    Summary

    “You're what-“ Andrew paused. “horny from my tits?”

    “You’ve been working harder,” Neil said instead, to further explain. “I noticed.” Andrew looked unimpressed.

    “Congratulations.” Andrew deadpanned.

    “In goal too,” Neil continued. “You stop more shots.”

    “That’s literally my position.”

    “You care more,” Neil stated that he could see Andrew’s jaw tighten just slightly.

    “It looks good when you play like you actually give a shit.” Neil felt his eyes go back down to Andrew's neck.

    The sweat feels deliberately placed right where Neil knows that if he puts his mouth on it, Andrew will make that noise, the one that encourages Neil to keep making Andrew feel good.

    Or: Neil notices Andrew's been working harder on the court. Spending the summer trapped in the South Carolina heat together is making it difficult for him to ignore exactly how much that work has paid off.
