i have this issue where i start headcanons and they end up being fics so enjoy

• Okay so Neil and Andrew are on the
  same professional Exy team
• They live in like the small urban
  part of Missouri or something, and they have a lot of free time because it’s
  the off season
• So Andrew goes to the library every
  afternoon like clockwork
• He’s studying up on law and
  entertaining the idea of going to law school after they retire 
• Neil tags along sometimes and loves browsing the crime/mystery section
• The library workers recognize them as
  the famous exy-playing assholes, but they’re all older women who have nothing
  better to do than gossip behind the desk
• Mary, the senior librarian, runs the
  children’s programs during the summer and makes sure to invite all the kids
  from the nearby elementary school
• It’s raining pretty hard outside when
  Neil and Andrew stumble in one afternoon during Mary’s dramatic reading of The
  Fox and the Hound
• Andrew saunters off upstairs while
  Neil heads to the bathroom so he can wring out their wet raincoats 
• (Nicky got them matching raincoats
  for Christmas that year, insisting that he needed to “keep up the theme”)
• (Andrew refuses to wear the matching
  red rain boots)
• Neil hears muffled crying from one of
  the stalls, interrupted every now and then by a small hiccup
• He knocks hesitantly on the stall
  door
• “I’m in here!” the kid shouts
• “Everything okay?”
• “Uh.. yeah,” he sniffles, “I think”
