#he's also always going through pan panic™ during the time

[heymrstargazer]

andreil and exams stress (bc my tests are going on and i need to cope)

so andreil exam season is just.. a time

because andrew's memory infuriates neil to no end

he's watching andrew just casually read through his text books sipping hot cocoa like you fuCKER

meanwhile neil is neck deep in math notes .02 seconds from actually losing it

andrew just looks so relaxed

he always keeps a very level head about that kind of stuff on the outside at least

because of his memory

but he absolutely has random bursts of panic like oH nO what if this random concept ive heard of once is on the final exam

andrew is reading for fun at this point and neil is Done™

fuzzy socks, big hoodie, hot chocolate, cookies he baked an hour before

neil is like if you even look at me i might scream

he's like i need to leave before i kill someone

andrew, five chapters deep into some murder mystery novel: want a cookie?

i'm turning it soft now buckle up

he comes back from studying and andrew has cooked him dinner cause he knows neil won't cook real food for himself right now

and neil is like i am trying to be mad at you

and andrew is like i made your favorite :)

andrew makes neils favorite foods too

(HAHA

look at us

our brain waves have synced i swear)

but yes and andrew cleans off the desk and sets up neils notes and texbooks all nice while hes out for a quick run to clear his head

neil comes back to everything nice and organized and andrew is like come relax you have a hard exam tomorrow and we both know you're prepared

neil is like who possessed you why are you doing this

andrew is like can't i do something nice??

andrew just like im trying to be nice now sit down you ungrateful asshole

he's trying to be soft to help neil with the stress but now he's worried he made it worse

when andrew has his first exam neil walks him to the building and gives him a little good luck kiss on the forehead

he just does it off hand but he accidentally starts a tradition where they give each other forehead kisses for good luck

andrew takes neil to his first exam too and has to get on the steps up to the building to give him a forehead kiss

andrew: not one word josten *forehead kith*

imagine like one of the other foxes were walking past at the same time and he gives them the 'ill murder you if you say anything' look

it's like matt and dan and they both make a big show of looking away

yes they literally put their hands to their eyes to shield their peripheral vision

andrew gives one (1) approving nod

if it was aaron hed just mime throwing up and continue on his way

anyway back to the actual exams neil would get really in the zone studying and andrew would have to have so much self restraint not to bother him

like he wants neil to do well but hes boreddddd

yes he's be so bored after finishing his textbooks

just imagine neil is so focused with his headphones on and andrew is just doing the most random shit behind him

like dramatically flopping on the couch, juggling fruits, launching neils socks he leaves everywhere into the dirty laundry basket

they end up with an entire kitchen full of baked goods

neil turns around to go to the bathroom a few hours later to see andrew standing with like four pans of cookies, brownies, etc on the counter and a mixing bowl in his hand

yes andrew is just fucking around in the other half of the dorm trying to stay out of neil's line of sight

the amount of christmas cookies they end up with during winter exams is insane

neil has never seen so many snowflake sprinkles in one place

he accidentally launches one of the socks onto neils desk and ducks down behind the counter so he doesnt get in trouble for distracting him

neil whips his head around like wtf was that cause he's been so lazer focused

andrew is covered in flour and icing by the end of each day and neil is covered in ink and they both just look at each other like what have we become

also imagine aaron or kevin was standing there while andrew threw said sock and gets it launched back at their head because neil thought they did it

andrew just keeps bringing plates of fresh cookies and cakes and brownies with bowls of fruit and neil is like babe pls stop feeding me for comfort

yes by the end neil has like a tower of plates and bowls hes taken like one bite out of

andrew: >:( but what if you get hungry

neil: drew you could feed the whole campus with this much im fiNE

andrew: but i need to feed yoU

the rest of the foxes watching this happen: can we have some

neil: yes

andrew: nO

neil packs up plates to bring to his and andrew's professors after each exam and they still have enough to last a week of dessert after all three meals

neil is like damn i could have practiced my math problems with these

neil: andrew you're the watermelon guy but with baked goods

also andrew would refuse to give any of the 100 extra plates to the foxes just because hes stubborn

it's the principle of it

those are HIS exam stress baked goods and he can delegate them as he sees fit

if he only gives them to neil that's his business

yeah and he finds out neil gives one of the extra three tier cakes to the girls and is like i can never trust you again

nicky and matt try pulling off a heist at like 3 am

nicky and matt take a one day heist planning break from studying and all it gets them is two barely dodged knives to the sides of their heads

andrew can hear the fridge door open in his sleep

neil, half asleep, feeling the bed move as andrew shuffles around: whats going on? are you okay?

andrew: theres an emergency

andrew: they're after the brownies

no one knows this but neil threw the second knife

andrew drags neil out of bed like quick we need to defend the our most prized possessions

neil: the exy gear??

andrew: the ✨baking✨

neil, jumping out of bed: oh shit

back to exams obviously they both pass (it was totally the forehead kisses) and they spend all of christmas break eating through the various things andrew stock piled

yeah they totally pass

they both did fine

neil probably was like oh thank god i reviewed that one chapter and andrew is like no no it was definitely the strawberry cheesecake

neil is like yes it was babe thank you :)

but it was definitely the review
