    Summary

    “You said it’s shit.” 

    “I did.” Andrew agrees.

    “You said it isn’t a permanent fix.” 

    “It’s not.” 

    Andrew reaches through the window, plucks the tree shaped air freshener off the rearview mirror, holds it to his nose. Neil waits, knows that it lost its scent months ago. He isn’t sure why he’s held on to it, just knows he likes the look of it dangling while he drives. It’s another identifiable feature to his car, another way to know Neil Josten drove this Subaru. 

    His mother would have hit him before throwing it away.

    Andrew places the scentless piece of cardboard back in its spot with a delicacy that indicates understanding. A gentleness that makes Neil wonder if Andrew Minyard, with his family and his fancy sports car and his leather jacket, is also learning how to be a real person. 

    “I can fix it.” Andrew says, and for the first time since he came upon Neil and his unresponsive engine, he looks away. 

    “You can fix it,” Neil echoes, a question and a statement in one. 

    “Yes.” Andrew replies.

    Neil’s car breaks down. Cue the cute blonde with a knowledge of cars, a cool leather jacket, and a long term crush on the helpless redhead.

    Summary

    Andrew and Aaron meet when they're 25 and living halfway across the country from each other.

    *

    “And the person who set this up?” Aaron asked, the first words he’d said to his brother ever in his life. “Where is he?”

    Something flickered in Andrew’s eyes now, just for a second, before returning to nothing. Andrew looked away. “Not here,” he answered, and Aaron wondered at the thing he saw flash in his twin brother’s eyes. He thought it looked like anger.
