my (not that) niche take on aftg is that i actually love that neil and andrew don’t marry
because what is marriage if not just another deal?
and andrew doesn’t need a deal to know that neil will stay with him for the rest of their lives
he trusts neil to not leave without a deal
which has more importance than any marriage vow could have
you. YOU.
you get it. you so get it. how have i never seen explained it this way before?? it’s everything!!
it’s like how they didn’t kiss before andrew got off his meds and neil had no contacts no hair dye no nothing. stripped to their bare selves, no pretending, no deal. just the truth for the truth. just me for you, and you for me.
for andrew to get to a point where he doesn’t need any deal anymore?? for neil to be confident in staying firmly where he is, no more running? that’s marriage babey.
and tbh, with Neil’s deal with the mafia, do they really need tax benefits?
