    Summary

    But Neil — oh Neil, useless as he is pretty, seems to have no idea that clothing can be anything other than another tool to make himself invisible. Andrew will just have to help him along, which is why he sends Nicky to dress him the first time they decide to bring Neil to Columbia. Neil is full of lies and paranoia, hiding under his drabness. Andrew intends to drag his true colors out.

    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

    "Andrew doesn't have friends," Aaron says. Blurts, really—loud and undignified and not what he meant to say. But like a bandaid from a too-fresh wound, it tears him open. "He has things. He just doesn't like that his things"—he makes a maliciously sarcastic set of air quotes—"play nicely together without him."

    If Andrew had been carved from marble, he might have been livelier. Every inch of him now is stone, from the hard set of his jaw to the tension bunching in his thighs.

    "I'm right, aren't I?" Aaron continues. There's something dangerous in him, howling down every synapse and nerve fiber until he's shaking with it. He doesn't have it in him to leash it; not today, not freshly off the high of a potential future built on want and not binding contracts. "You can't stand that you're not in control anymore, that we might not need you."

    "You don't need me," Andrew says, voice gravel.

    "Isn't it enough to want you?" Andrew's eyes go wide, but Aaron isn't finished. "Jesus, don't you get it? It's enough for your pet striker, so why can't it be enough for your own goddamn brother?"

    Summary

    He glances up as if he can feel someone looking at him and Andrew is assaulted by a pair of unnaturally blue eyes. They seem cold and distant, a silent challenge for Andrew to do—something, but Andrew doesn’t know what.

    All he can think is that the boy is dangerously pretty. The idea of asking him to go into the alleyway between Eden’s and the bar next door for a quickie flits through his mind before the boy scoffs and rolls his eyes.

    “Can I help you?”

    or: andrew meets a pretty boy outside a bar and can't get him off his mind. he absolutely does NOT fall in love
