Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
So I am once again reading through the extra content like one does and I found a little thing that send me to my knees okay
I’m reading about Abby and Wymack and how they move in together and how they’re just in love and stuff
And it says Abby makes him stop smoking because she doesn’t want the smell in her house
Andrew finds out when he visits Neil in his fifth year and he pulls out a cigarette to smoke, but Coach takes it, breaks it and throws it on the ground, super grumpy about it because he can’t smoke
After Neil explains it Andrew just takes one look at Wymack and states “Abby’s doing”
All of this is all good and fun right, however it’s the next part of it that kills me
“If Neil told me to stop smoking, I’d kick him out.”
However small that is, it just made me all tingly?
I honestly think that that’s one of most obvious times Andrew acknowledge that him and Neil are really together
He normally does it in very subtle, private ways and especially not in conversations with others
He actually refuses to mention Neil to others at all
Which also brings me to the next thing that makes me very happy
He casually says this joke about him and his partner’s relationship out loud, to someone that isn’t Neil himself, and not it private, but to Wymack
That is an insane amount of trust for Andrew to put in Wymack with such a little comment and that is another relation we brush over so much in the fandom
Damn man just… I love this line???
That’s also his immediate response to find out that Wymack and Abby are together and that she made him quit smoking
He just compared himself and Neil to Wymack and Abby
He also used Neil’s name in a way that isn’t condescending or mean spirited, which is also pretty rare for him at least in the books
Anyways I might be reading into it too much, but I just thought it was such a nice little comment with more meaning to it than you’d think
