The thought of dealing with Nicky’s blatant look of disappointment when he inevitably heard of Andrew’s less than amicable behaviour was worse than the idea of talking to a cute guy (Nicky’s taste wasn’t bad). Maybe Andrew should just be his usual, sullen self, end the date early and go home and sleep. Instead, he shuffled in through the doors of a restaurant, where the lights were just low enough that hopefully this guy wouldn’t see the shadows under his eyes, the sallowness of his skin. He usually wouldn’t even bother taking them home, seeing as he knew the staff access code to the lounge at Eden’s Twilight. It was much easier to preface a one-night-stand with little talking, dancing and a glass of whisky. He wish Nicky had let them meet up in a club. He hadn’t even bothered changing out of the jeans and sweater he’d been ambling around the house in all morning, merely shaving and spritzing on cologne to give a false sense that he’d put effort in. He’d get a good night’s rest over the winter break, ignore Nicky’s pestering and continue on with life as normal when the half-yearly examinations finally ended. Nicky insisted that he didn’t want Andrew to be lonely around the holiday season, and that it’d be perfect timing to have a significant other on Valentine’s Day, and had been extremely resistant to Andrew’s refusals. It was the last time Andrew would put up with these sordid blind date fiascos. There were many reasons for that fact: he was halfway through his final year of the police academy, his brother had been broken up with (again) and had moved back in to live with Andrew (again) and Nicky had set him up for an evening out with a man he didn’t know (again). OKAY - there will be other parts to this i promise matt likes staying in the bath until hes pruny just thinkin his thoughts and sometimes talking them aloud matt coming out into the living room bareass naked after a 3 hour bath: hey what if squirrels wore acorns like hats neil: what the Fuck andrew interally. neil is.well with them it's good bc always with them is good but sitting still? in water? for that long? no hes gotta Blast andrew's the type who has like 80 different scrub things the loofah the terrycloth mitt the back brush etc. hello cruel world who’s there? not andrew minyard and thats something andrew wont allow himself when it's just himself he wont allow it with people he doesnt trust completely and he wont allow it alone bc what if someone comes in? but here.ah mandreil Anonymous neil and andrew: nervous and lowkey freaking out but its fine they want this opening the door to matt sitting in the tub with a bunch of suds up to his chest and wagglin ghis eyebrows goofily everyone is instantly more at ease matt and drew like baths. neil makes a lot of snide comments about it being good matt is sitting down so he and andrew can reach his backĪt one point neil and matt look up from a discussion to see that andrew has submerged himself up to the eyes in the steaming bathwater, utterly blissed out. it’s not like he’s trying to speed things along tho, he’ll just leisurely offer andrew a loofa and work suds through neil’s hair. Matt’s the only reason they get clean at all. sometimes he asks permission to climb up onto one of his boys’ laps (matt and andrew are sitting on opposite sides of the tub but matt’s hearteyes for andrew being comfortable with that much) and stick a shampoo bottle up against their nose. neil gets distracted playing with the tiny fancy soaps and reviewing them with much color commentary. Pffffk okay but they use matt’s rich person money/ all those Exy checks to book a luxury hotel suite with a frankly irresponsibly large bathtub…matt is able to stretch both his arms out along the edge and still not be half-way around. Neil, snapping shut the tape measure: yeah we’re gonna need a bigger tub Matt, wandering over with a towel wrapped around his waist: what’s up? Andrew, looking down at the bathtub in neil’s apartment: ….
