Technically it all started because of two cats. Andrew’s phone number had been leaked and he was waiting on a new sim card. So when Neil saw the cats, one black and one ginger, play fighting beside the Chicago Bean, he had tweeted the picture to him instead of texting it. An innocent enough tweet on the surface, tagging Andrew and adding the caption “us”.

alike in dignity by eeveepkmnfan [Rated T, 7166 Words, Complete 2023]
Andrew is tired of his cats eating his plants, and thus decides to do what any sound of mind individual would do: wage an unholy battle against the demons set on destroying the natural flora of his home. It's him or the cats, winner take all, and he's not backing down.

we softly stir the violence by lysytsya [Rated T, 7685 Words, Complete, 2023]
...Neil doesn’t need anyone rooting around in his brain trying to fix him, thank you very much. He knows he’s fucked in the head, but he’s been dealing with it by himself for his entire life, and he’ll keep dealing with it on his own until the day he dies. But Andrew is exactly the problem, today, and as strong as Neil’s dislike for Betsy is, he knows that if there’s anyone who can advise him on how to approach this…issue, it’s her.

All this talk of the Minyard-Josten Rivalry and so little talk of how it starts. Well, in my opinion, it starts with a conversation at half-court badly taken out of context.
you were never nothing to me by gay_irl [Not Rated, 1667 Words, Complete, 2023]
Andrew's graduating soon, and he and Neil haven't talked about what will happen. Neil's scared to ask but he doesn't need to be.

Out Here in Plain Sight by ScornedEthnographer [Not Rated, 2021 Words, Complete, 2023]
“What the fuck is this!?” Andrew turned back to her, his eyes sharpening on the object she was holding up. In her left hand, pinched between her index finger and thumb, was what was quite obviously a wedding ring, and common sense would dictate that it, most likely, should not have been placed in the small metal bowl that lived on the shelf that housed loose change, keys, and the occasional gum wrapper.
