When do you think Neil and Andrew have their first full body hug
Like is it after a traumatic event
Or is it on a random sunny afternoon, where Andrew feels a pull in his heart and wants to try something new. He tells Neil to stand up, he does without comment. The two of them stand, chest to chest, centimetres between them. Andrew looking at him before asking - the all important question. Neil agrees without hesitation. Andrew wraps his arms around Neil’s shoulders so so slowly. Gentle and tender, barely any pressure. Neil doesn’t raise his arms to hold back. Not yet. Not until Andrew tells him he can put his arms around his waist - just there. Neil does. They’re hugging. It’s nice. They feel good and warm and safe
