Neil and Andrew living together. What do they have to get used to, annoying, endearing and other habits on both sides?
it takes neil around a month to figure out just how messy andrew is. he’s not actually that bad per se, he’s more lazy
meaning he’ll wait until he has literally nothing clean to wear before doing laundry and half the time he doesn’t bother to fold it, instead he just keeps it in the basket until laundry needs to be done again
whenever neil confronts him about it andrew just tells him how it’s not worth his time
neil learns to live w it and eventually, down the line they wear each other’s clothes often enough they don’t know whose is whose, so neil just does all the laundry
that being said, andrew leaves his socks all over the house and it annoys neil to no end
neil is a morning person,, 110%
he likes to get up early to go for runs before it gets too hot out and while he may try his best to not wake andrew, he usually fails
andrew is not a morning person
he’s gotten used to it tho, whether he likes it or not. it’s gotten to the point now where andrew will just get up too, since the cats are usually up as well, and make breakfast while neil’s gone so it’s ready by the time neil gets back
((listen…this boy can Cook but that’s for another time))
sometimes tho, andrew is dead to the world in the morning and nothing can wake him, so neil will leave a cute little note to let him know where he’s gone so andrew won’t panic if he wakes up home alone
andrew keeps all the notes in a box under the bed (which neil finds but doesn’t comment on, he finds it sweet)
andrew usually ends up taking cat naps on the couch (due to waking up early) and whenever neil wakes him up he makes this little scrunched up face that neil finds adorable
on the other hand, neil falls asleep while watching tv in the evening usually and andrew will have to half drag him back to bed since he’s already half asleep
andrew always acts like it’s some big inconvenience, but secretly (or perhaps not-so-secretly) he likes how gentle neil looks when he’s sleepy and how he clings to andrew and tries to give him sleepy neck kisses while they make their way to bed
neil is the worst for leaving his dirty dishes everywhere, andrew is constantly cleaning up after him
andrew never uses the mat when he showers so the bathroom floor is always wet (the first several times it happened it caused neil to slip and fall and he threatened to buy a ‘caution: wet floor’ sign at one point)
neil has to have the tv volume end in either a 5 or 0 when he watches it, he’s got no idea why, same goes for the volume in the car
andrew has tripped over cat toys no less than seven times in the mornings
