Not Quite Nothing

“I’ll never forget you,” he’d said.“I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy,” he’d said.“You aren’t nothing, not to me,” he’d said.”Yet here I was, sitting on the kitchen counter of our rental house, dreading that my entire summer had been some sort of trauma induced fever dream.ORAn Only Mostly Devastated AU where Neil is Ollie, Andrew is Will and instead of music and basketball, it's math and exy. Basically: Neil and Andrew meet over the summer in Columbia while Neil and his sick mother are visiting Uncle Stuart in South Carolina after finally escaping The Butcher. After they say goodbye, Neil finds out that they're staying in Palmetto and he can't wait to find Andrew again. To his excitement, Andrew goes to Palmetto too but when they see each other face to face again, he's not the boy he fell in love with over the summer. Add in a little bit of teen awkwardness, mafia violence and some family drama, you get this.
