    Summary

    "The game is at a turning point, Ned, and I need you to play it. I do not plead as your Queen, but as your friend. As a mother."

    "How can you be so sure we will manage to take him down? You know how the court is, full of snakes, gossip and intrigues. Starks do not fare well in the South."

    "I know, but you need not worry about that. I'll play the court's game, my dear. My son and I will protect you. You, your mission is different. Keep the realm together, and calm your loud and rude friend, Lord Baratheon."

    Ned considered the proposal carefully, "My position as Hand will not guarantee a proper alliance in the eyes of the North. How will that play out?"

    Maerys looked at him quizzically, as if it was obvious, and Ned knew the one talking now was the Queen and not his friend, "I have a son, you have a daughter. We will join our Houses."
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    "When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die."

    Nataerys Targaryen has been playing the game since he was born.
    Andrew Stark does not care about the game, only about the player.

    Summary

    Все починається з гри, в якій Ніл вирішує стати "особистою проблемою" свого сусіда по парті, Ендрю. Але з кожною провокацією межа між роздратуванням і небезпечною цікавістю стає все тоншою.

    Summary

    “I don’t know. I think I like you or something. I can’t keep my eyes off you sometimes. You’re so muscular. It’s like- I don’t know. I’m sorry.”

    “Why are you apologizing?”

    Neil looked to Andrew, who looked wholly unbothered still, and shrugged weakly, “I shouldn’t think of you in that way. Especially when you don’t know about it.”

    “I think of you in that way too. So it’s fine,” Andrew said with an easy shrug of his shoulders.

    Neil blinked at him in shock, “You- What?”

    Summary

    “Here’s what’s going to happen,” Andrew said, spinning back around to face Neil, who all at once tensed up again. “You’re going to play me whatever you brought me, and then I’ll tell you if I can work with it.”

    Neil nodded once, “Fine.”

    Summary

    “Will you be able to play?” Dan asks, voice layered with concern.

    Neil blinks, confused. “Why wouldn’t I be able to play?”

    “What our fearless leader means is—will you be able to focus on the game instead of Andrew’s mouth and impressive biceps,” Allison clarifies, saddling up next to Neil with a knowing look.

    “I—” Neil starts.

    “I mean I get it,” Allison continues. “He has really nice biceps.”

    Summary

    “Okay,” Aaron said slowly, after a minute’s deliberation. “What if we invited Lord Josten here, for a visit. If he and Andrew are a good match, we can just let the Courting season run its course.”

    Katelyn shrugged, thinking of all the men who had tried and failed to Court Andrew in previous years, citing his surly temper and bored expressions as intolerable. “I think that is only fair. Uncle Stuart says Neil has a temper and can lack manners at times, so who knows? Perhaps he and Andrew are a perfect match.”

    Summary

    “Vintage tee, brand new phone, high heels on cobblestones, when you are young, they assume you know nothing. Sequin smile, black lipstick, sensual politics, when you are young, they assume you know nothing.” He let the lyrics hang in the air, and glanced back at Andrew nervously.

    There was a contemplative look on Andrew’s face, and Neil relaxed. He liked it. Andrew thought it was a good start. Neil felt himself grinning. “Yeah?” he asked excitedly.

    “I understand if we can’t be friends and if you want me to leave you alone after this.” After I ruin everything.

    “Abram. Shut up and just tell me.” Andrew sounded more worried than frustrated.

    At that Neil looked up for a moment, resigned.

    "I love you, Drew."

    Summary

    But with these hookups came the in between moments, or the before and after moments. Sometimes Andrew would stay or show up early with takeout, and he and Neil would just sit and talk. Sometimes, if they were at Andrew’s, he would run song lyrics by Neil first, playing the guitar chords and testing out different phrases before kissing them into Neil’s skin. 

    Somewhere, in these moments, it had become more for Neil. It had become searching for Andrew’s smirks when Neil complained about a difficult translation piece. It had become laughing at Andrew’s red face when he ate anything remotely spicy. It had become playing footsie while watching old cartoons on Neil’s couch. It had become going over to Andrew’s to hook up, but falling asleep to Andrew playing his guitar instead.

    Summary

    Neil dreams of himself that night.

    It’s a rather disconcerting feeling, watching himself from a bird’s eye view. Witnessing an elegance in his features that Neil knows does not exist in reality. It’s a Neil that he both recognizes and doesn’t; it’s a Neil that doesn’t remind him of his father. He’s not sure such a version could ever exist, but it does here: in Andrew’s dreams.

    “I hate you,” Andrew tells him. But the hand on Dream Neil’s cheek is gentle despite the tense twitching of his knuckles. “So why can’t I get you out of my head?”

    Summary

    “What,” Neil said; he leaned back from where he was hunched over the table in front of him, his back popping as he straightened out.

    “I think we need to talk,” Kevin replied a bit primly.

    --

    When Neil realizes his feelings for Andrew are more than friendly, he tries his best to confess without confessing. He's willing to try anything to get Andrew's attention.
