oh i caught you open! can we get some either andrew & kevin or neil & kevin being best friends and supporting each other? i feel like they're not explored enough and the potential is right there :)
Luckily, Kevin and Andrew’ friendship is a topic the fandom is pretty interested in. So much so that we’ve split this ask. In this post we’re concentrating entirely on Andrew and Kevin, Neil & Kevin’s friendship will be addressed in another ask. - S

Andrew hasn’t decided what to do about Kevin Day. A few days ago, he’d have said that Kevin was dead to him. If things had gone differently, that might still be true.
Today, he walks up to the car and throws open the door.

Andrew circled the stony striker when silence answered him. “Hello? Anybody home? The answer is yes, a lot of nobodies, just one is missing. I’ll give you three guesses.”
“Pass.”
“Never took you for a quitter. This is quite refreshing.” The goalie quipped, lighting a smoke. “Come on, the cars’ still running.”
“I’m going to stay here.” Kevin’s quiet voice echoed through the abandoned stadium. Somber, lacking the usual spiteful energy he towed.

"Has your Butcher called back yet?"
Oh.
“No,” Kevin replies, frowning slightly. “It’s understandable. He is a busy man.”
“Kevin Day making excuses,” pulling away, Andrew puts down, “at this rate, you might just write his name on the margins of your books with hearts around it.”
“What? No, why would I do that?”
“Why wouldn’t you?”
Kevin gives him a perplexed look. “Andrew, do you think I like the Butcher of Baltimore?”
Alternatively, when the Butcher of Baltimore issues an order for his subordinates to bring him his childhood idol, he forgets what his choice of career entails. Kevin would hold it against him if he didn't find the man so fascinating.

Rescue Me by Demiwitchwoodwalker [Rated T, 4564 words, complete, 2022]
“I can protect you, from him and yourself,” Andrew said in a tone Kevin couldn’t quite place after a long moment filled with nothing but the muffled noise of the game playing on Kevin’s laptop. “I can help you stay instead of running further or back.”
Kevin stared at him then, finally letting himself actually look at him, and the same feeling from before returned, feeling like a hand clenched itself around his lungs and heart. He pushed his laptop closed, the game’s audio abruptly cutting off, and turned slightly to face Andrew, whose expression had shifted back into the grin that seemed to constantly be present in the day and whose eyes looked almost dead. Kevin’s lips parted, words rising in the back of his throat, but he couldn’t get them past his tongue. How was he supposed to do this? The memory of Andrew the night before floated through his mind again, when he was as close to sober as he could get, more vulnerable than Kevin felt he’d ever seen a person despite the fact that Kevin was the one halfway through a breakdown. "Why?"

“Day? We’re gonna get you out of here okay? Minyard’s gonna make sure you get out of here and down to the bus” Kevin looked over Wymack’s shoulder where he could see the figure of the small blonde man. Kevin nodded, how could he do anything but nod? These people were sticking out their neck for him in a way he couldn’t remember anyone doing before. No words could ever describe his thankfulness.

kevin learns that in order to understand something, you have to allow yourself to learn, and talks to andrew about neil.
'“Did I or did I not tell you that you have asked as many free questions as you are permitted to today?” This time, as Andrew snaps, Kevin hears it.
“Free?” he asks around a mouthful of rice, swallowing hastily before he continues. “So if I give you something, I can ask more?”
It's a rhetorical question, but Andrew grants him a small nod anyway. “Neil and I have - had - a thing.” Kevin agonisingly anticipates his next words as Andrew scoops up another mouthful of food. Static silence stretches out between them until he swallows again. “Truth for truth. For everything you ask me, I ask you something.”
“Deal.”'

“You took me with you when you recruited him,” Andrew muttered, but he knew Kevin was listening.
They both knew that it was the closest Andrew could get to a thank you, so they both kept quiet.
A list of the times Andrew met Kevin, interwoven with the list of times Andrew met Neil.

Omg please fuel my love for the amnesia trope 🤲
like, can you imagine.. we go for a walk or just trying to hang out w/ bkg to remember, and we end up somewhere pretty; an outlook maybe? He pauses and gazes over the water towards the city lights on the other side and exhales heavily through his nose. We can't help but ask him what's up. He mumbles something into the wind, we only catch the "...do you remember?" when he shifts his gaze from the scenery to us. His eyes are soft 🥺 and sad 🥺 but oh so full of adoration 🥹🫠
PLEASE. SAD.
at first, all you can think about is how pretty the overlook is as the sun starts to set, casting pinks and purples across the lake, city lights like stars on the surface. it's romantic, you think, distantly, and then you hear him sigh beside you. he's quiet normally, but you glance at him out of the corner of your eye and — his are squeezed shut tight, brow pinched, a frown deep set on his face.
and it makes your stomach drop, for this moment to be another letdown for him. very quietly, you ask him, though you know the answer: "we've been here before, yeah?"
his eyes glitter when he opens them, sets them on you with a look that breaks your own heart. bakugou is undone, allowing himself just a second to grieve. "y'don't remember any of this? none of it?"
you want to like him. you want to love him. it'd be easier for you to, this life with all its missing pieces; so new and so painful already. but — you just don't.
"show me," you tell him, biting at the inside of your cheek as your eyes sting. "do it again. show me again."
something crosses his face then, desperate and determined, and the muscle in his cheek jumps as he grits his teeth. when he pushes off the hood of his car, you mimic him, nerves alight under your skin as you let him lean in too close.

Chapters: 14/?
Summary:
Canon Divergence. University AU. Mafia AU.
“Let’s leave. We’re not sticking around here,” Yuu said as they began to walk through the tall grass. If they were lucky, they’d run into someone that was willing to help and not ask many questions.
“Well, well what do we have here?”
Yuu jumped, a scream bursting from their lips. Grim squirmed out of their arms and floated in mid air, his ear flames bursting brighter. Standing in front of them was a man wearing the most ornate outfit Yuu had ever seen outside of cosplay inside an anime convention. Clearly going for a steam-punk like style crossed with opera, Yuu couldn’t tear their eyes away from the birdlike mask or the feathers adorning the long cloak with ends that looked like bird wings.
“Goodness gracious!” the man exclaimed, a little too cheerful. “You’re not from this world.”
In where Yuu is summoned to a strange new dimension (by an occult) and will find their way home (and solving the mystery to why they were summoned in the first place) through the power of accidentally befriending the local organized crime fractions. (Or Yuu is accidentally the most powerful person in this world through the power of Friendship.)
