    Summary

    According to the team, Andrew is currently losing a custody battle for Neil against a sport invented by the mafia.

    It’s a running joke in the locker room: Neil cares about Exy, and then, distant second, he cares about breathing. Andrew is somewhere on the list, probably below the new backliner spread Kevin found.

    Andrew doesn't bother correcting them. He knows the difference between a distraction and a destination. He knows Neil runs until his lungs burn to keep the ghosts quiet, but he also knows exactly whose bed Neil crawls into when the adrenaline fades.

    (Or: 5 times the team thought Neil loved the sport more than the goalkeeper, and one time Neil made the hierarchy terrifyingly clear.)

    Summary

    Neil had a lot of secrets. He didn’t want much in life except to live quietly, run his botanical store, upload TikToks covering plant care, and for not a single person to find out that he’s the best-selling author N.A.J who published one book anonymously five years prior and disappeared. His life takes a turn when his literary agent tracks him down for a follow-up book with the theme of feeling settled and at peace. Two things Neil is not.

    Thus begins his journey of planting roots in a town he’s lived in for years, starting with making friends with people who have tried to bring him into their circle. As Neil gets closer to them and his secrets become less guarded, there’s still that one big secret he intends on taking to his grave. But the closer he gets to his friends the closer he unknowingly gets to that secret being revealed.

    Summary

    And now, with all the baby cats rounding he relied on his teammates to do all the talk. Or that was the plan until he heard the interviewer saying his name.

    "Sorry, what was the question?"

    "Neil seems a little in his world with the cats" The man laughed "you yourself own a cat, right?"

    "Two actually, but one lives with my partner"

    He felt an awkward silence fill the room, which made him stop staring at the cat whose chin he was scratching, but before he could say something the interviewer was asking him about his opinion on the next season.

     

    Or: Neil publicly says he has a partner by accident and freaks out thinking he'd overstepped Andrew’s limits. Andrew notices Neil's weird attitude and thinks he's cheating on him.

    They're both dumb and don't know how to have a proper conversation.
