if theres one thing about me. im going to put a period in the middle of my sentence. for dramatic effect.
some time ago i introduced the phrase "food pact" to my friends as a shorthand for "i'll go make and eat food if you also make and eat food" and ever since then ive just started incorporating more pacts into my life. stay hydrated pact. stretch break pact. stop doomscrolling and go to bed pact. we need to bring this back in vogue more people should be making pacts imo
the best part of this is when you ask "who wants to do a shower pact" and you get a half dozen friends all rolling up saying "the pact is sealed". faustian behavior
I can’t get over the inevitability of Andreil in this sentence. Doing this is a bad idea, both Andrew and Neil know it and acknowledge it to each other, but it doesn’t stop them from diving head first into their relationship.
Yes, Neil was going to leave, he was going to die. Yes, there was no shot for them to really become anything. Yes, getting into this would only result in pain for everyone. Yes, it is a monumentally stupid decision considering everything that’s happening at this point in the story.
But to two people who have been spinning around each other like galaxies set on a collision course, you can’t fight the gravity and the momentum. Even if they tried, inertia wouldn’t have let them halt in place.
Andrew and Neil have been a bad idea from the start, but that’s what makes them so perfect for each other.
