Summary
A few too many seconds of freefall and Andrew couldn’t keep his mouth shut. He should have shut down, locking his emotions in for only him to know about. Instead when the plane leveled out, Andrew spoke the weighty words that others threw around casually. Words neither of them had ever said.
During heavy turbulence, Andrew accidentally says I love you. Even though they fly back home tomorrow, he’s still not ready to talk about it.

Summary
It doesn't make sense. Neil was fine. More than fine. He’s safe at home with Andrew, and this should be the best possible ending to one of Neil’s best days, but when Neil squeezes his eyes shut, all he can see is —
Riko grinning with vicious pleasure as he slices Neil open. Riko’s eyes reflecting the glow of the lighter licking Neil’s skin. Riko laughing as a tattoo gun needle digs into Neil’s cheek.
Riko, Riko, Riko, smothering and impossible to escape. Panic knifes through Neil as he yanks uselessly against the handcuffs. No, no, no —
And then he’s saying it aloud, “No, no, no,” because there isn't a gag cutting into the sides of his mouth. Because Neil isn’t at Evermore. He’s at home with Andrew, who’s right there when Neil opens his eyes — only near the foot of the bed now, not touching Neil at all.
Neil has long gotten used to reading the faint shades of emotion that pass for expressions on Andrew’s face. But never, not even in Andrew's medicated, manically expressive days, has Neil seen Andrew wear anything like his current look of horrified shock.
Neil agrees to try the handcuffs in bed. It goes badly. Cue angst and h/c.

Summary
Predictably, Neil’s automated voicemail message answers for him. The number you’re trying to reach is unavailable at this time. The message runs through its spiel, informing Andrew that he can leave a message after the beep.
Goodbye hovers on his tongue. It’s the least that Neil deserves from him. There are so many more things to be said.
Andrew shuts his phone without leaving a voicemail. He drops his phone onto the counter and slips a knife out of its sheath.
Right before spring break during his fourth year at Palmetto, Andrew Minyard attempts suicide. Now everyone has to figure out how to move forward from here.

Summary
But, it’s infuriating, this cold shoulder, this new game that they have. Communication was not their strong suit, not when it comes to them and it's now biting them on their ass as Neil is sitting wondering what is happening. Just tell me it’s the nightmares, he finds himself thinking over the last 9 days, Let me help you.
Alas, it is Andrew and Andrew will never ask for help.
Where Andrew creates distance to confront an issue and Neil is left in the dark.

Summary
"What do you want?" Neil asks softly. Do you want me here? Should I go?
Andrew makes a sweeping gesture with his hands towards Neil, not a 'go away,' but a 'scoot over.' Instead of sliding backward like the motion suggests, Neil goes forward, leaving the side of the bed against the wall open for Andrew. It earns him another look, which Neil pretends not to see as he fluffs his half of the pillow, laying flat on his back. Then Andrew deftly climbs over him, momentarily filling his entire world with soft black cloth, blond hair, cigarettes, Andrew-- and then Andrew is settling in the space between Neil and the wall, and Neil is left staring at the slats of his own bed above his head.
Neil is very awake.
------
This picks up right after the books ended, a short story of how I think the aftermath of the championship game, Riko, and all that jazz would've gone. It is mostly just Neil being extremely sleepy. And having a lot of Thoughts. Mostly about Andrew. More will be added in the series later!
