#literally every kind until he goes through a whole 2 liter of root beer

[heymrstargazer]

aftg hc of the day: neil is completely horrified by root beer floats. milk and soda should not come in contact under any circumstances. this is completely unknown to andrew until a night at the columbia house. andrew loves them, would eat them any time of any day, and happened to make a stop at the store on the way. of course neil is in the kitchen with him, distractedly messing with things here and there, until andrew starts pouring root beer into a glass. with ice cream. andrew of course notices the pure horror on neils face. neil manages something along the lines of 'are you possessed' which starts the absolute shenanigans of andrew trying to get neil to drink one. the next time the two of them are out, andrew gets one. problem being neil is gone before he's done ordering. the entire time they walk together neil is at least five feet away from him until he throws it in the trash. the next time they're out for dinner, and neil literally waits in the bathroom until andrews done with it. next time it's at their shared apartment, later on with the cats, and andrew has the fucking audacity to bring that cursed thing that came straight from the depths of hell into their home. andrew gets up to go to the bathroom and neil tosses it in the trash, glass included. the last time is in a costco. andrew foolishly thinks neil will keep some composure, only to find neil and the cart missing. it takes him ten minutes to find him again, busily loading cat food into the cart. they make eye contact mid sip, and andrew very simply says 'youre being dramatic.' but instead of a usual smart-ass response, neil replies 'im sorry, do i know you?' unfortunately, andrew makes the mistake of thinking neils making a quick joke. he's not. which leads to andrew literally following neil around for 30 minutes like something out of a horror movie while neil avoids and runs away from him at every bit eye contact. when andrew finally finishes the drink neil just asks 'oh where have you been?' the very final time is planned very strategically (white board and cats included). neil is busy while andrew orders his root beer float, making sure it's in a completely opaque cup. he tells neil it's iced coffee. neil literally acts like he's been shot. he's never been betrayed like that before, and never has taken a drink of anything andrew has offered him since (unless it's in a clear cup and/or thoroughly inspected)

#one night andrew takes him on a data aka to a place where they mix the ice cream with any soda #he takes a singular sip of each (making sure just to get the soda) and says he never has to drink one again #until andrew spends two hours making every different consistency of root beer float #all foam no foam mostly ice cream mostly soda #literally every kind until he goes through a whole 2 liter of root beer #finally as a last resort he just blends it into a milkshake and neil actually doesnt mind it #aftg #all for the game #neil josten #the foxhole court #tfc #andrew minyard #aftg hc #tfc hc #andreil #daily aftg hc

IM SO EXCITED FOR YOUUUUUU!!!!! 🎉🎉

little hcs that i’m pulling out of my brain just for you:

-steve likes coffee but only the really expensive ones directly from italy or spain when it’s not even processed and he has to grind the beans himself. billy thanks that’s pointless and would rather eat the bean whole then go through the process of grinding it and steeping it and everything

-tommy and billy are nap partners. like steve only sleeps at night because he needs that structure for life but tommy and billy are little goblins who knock out if they stand still for too long. it’s also the reason they’re so close: an acccidental nap can change everything

-billy mixes gold and silver jewelry and it drives steve nuts. he wears his gold necklace and his silver earring and steve just doesn’t get that (and with the double denim? really??)

- tommy’s skin care routine is to forget to wash it for three days straight then take a shower and rub the shampoo a little farther down his face when washing his hair. steve has a 8 step process for what he puts on his face in the morning and a slightly altered version for night. steve gets pesky pimples all the time but tommy’s skin is the smoothest and least pimple-y at school. steve holds a not so secret grudge

-even tho steve’s a little rich boy, it’s tommy and billy who splurge on pointless items even when they don’t have the money to do so. steve feels like a mother when they go grocery shopping and they try to buy half the candy shelf at checkout

I love all of these! Thank you for them. Sorry this took so long for me to get to!

-Steve is definitely the type of person to drink fancy expensive coffee and dress it up so it's barely coffee by the time he's actually drinking it. Billy takes his with 2 creams and 4 sugars and can tell when it's not those exact amounts. Tommy takes his coffee like a mostly normal person, but practically collects coffee syrups. He's got all kinds of weird flavors that Billy and Steve insist do not belong in coffee like raspberry or root beer or gingerbread.

- This made me think of the episode of Friends when Ross and Joey did the same thing. I imagine it went down exactly like that the first time. Tommy is a nap king and takes one almost every day and Billy just doesn't get proper rest so these two kill the nap game.

- Billy has a great sense of style on the surface, but if you look at him a bit longer it just kinda makes you go what the fuck and that is exactly Steve's reaction. Until Billy gets dressed for a date, in which case you will never hear him complain ever

- Tommy has such naturally great skin and even a lot of the girls ask him for his routine and make the most horrified faces when he tells them. They usually turn around and ask Steve because he puts in the work to look that good.

- Tommy and Billy are still kind of stuck in their ways of having the emotional competence of of a brick wall. They just don't know how to tell people they care about them. They communicate more in gifts, even if it's like a literal hunk of coal that one of them found on the side of the road. Tommy also has a major sweet tooth and very little self control and Billy doesn't really get that kind of stuff super often, so they both find themselves going nuts whenever they pass it. It's also very important to never take Billy shopping before or right after a workout because he will buy so much food and eat half of it on the way back.

Some more for you!

- When Steve is washing dishes he'll just turn the water to a temperature and rinse them off, using soap in there's something visibly on it and then just putting them in the cupboard. Billy, however goes all fucking out. I'm talking specific water temp, soaks them first, rinses anything off of them, washes them with soap, rinses them of again, washing any that he feels need a second go, and then letting them air dry or towel drying them if he's gonna use any right after.

- Tommy loves blowing bubbles and finding fun ways to catch them

- the three of them once pooled money together to buy a cake to just eat for no reason and they were definitely high by the time they got around to actually eating it so you can bet the cake was gone in half an hour. They later agreed to do it on a regular basis

- Despite being a swimmer, Steve gets swimmers ear every summer without fail and it's the worst thing. It gets even worse when he and Billy hang out and he finds out Billy's only had it once and never again
