~COMPLETE~ "You were supposed to be a side effect of the drugs." "I'm not a hallucination." "You are a pipe dream." A/N: After two weeks of unhealthy obsession, I've decided to write a fanfic for the first time in my life. This is The King's Men by Nora Sakavic (third installment of the All For the Game trilogy) but from Andrew's point of view instead of Neil's. I'm using the novel and Nora's extra tumblr content to try and be as realistic as possible. Can't guarantee I won't stray a bit, though. I've also taken a couple cues from naj10ajm03 on Archive. Obviously, if you haven't read all three of the books, this won't make any sense. But I hope you like it! All rights to the characters and stuff go to Nora Sakavic.

Neil Josten joins the Palmetto State Foxes under a storm of lies, scars, and a past that's closing in fast. When Coach Wymack introduces him to the team, the tension is instant-especially with Andrew Minyard, the cold-eyed goalkeeper who doesn't believe in second chances or soft boys with secrets. But what starts as a demand from Wymack to "communicate better" leads to something unexpected: a box of exchanged letters, passed in secret and written when words feel too dangerous to say out loud. Some letters hurt. Some heal. Some confess things neither boy dares to say aloud. In fifteen letters, they unravel and remake each other. And in the end, maybe-just maybe-they find something worth staying for. Because sometimes, the most powerful promises are the ones written on paper.

Andrew picks a fight at a game and ends up in the ER with a dislocated shoulder. While there, he meets a distracting redheaded nurse who flips his life upside down. (This is a companion fic to A Quiet Night (Neil's Version), just in Andrew's POV. You don't need to read them in any particular order.)

Neil Josten has been in Witness Protection for seven years, working as an ER nurse and avoiding getting close to anyone. When Andrew Minyard shows up in the ER with a dislocated shoulder, his world is flipped on its head.

**** The drive back to Fox Tower was silent between Andrew's group. The Foxes victory against the Ravens left the team rattled with happiness. Matt and the others chatted away cheerfully on the ride back. Neil sat behind Andrew. He still felt the push of Andrew's lips against his. Neil brought hand up to his face and ran his thumb over his bottom lip, his heartbeat quickened as he thought about it. All his life he had been running, but the Foxes gave him a home. They refused to give him up, even though they now all knew who he was, where he had come from. But his past did not define him, he carried it with him, but it couldn't weight the Exy-player down anymore. Only the now counted, the present. - Neil had needed this appreciation. The auburn haired was feeling tingly all over, aching, sweating. Andrew lay beside him, following his example. His expression was saying something different than 'boring'. He was just as exhausted as Neil was. He turned away to not look at the striker. Neil wondered on that. As the blonde turned around to face him again, his eyes were glistening, his lips formed a tight line. "What are you-", Neil began, but Andrew's hand flew fastly in front of his mouth, covering up the words he intended to ask. "Don't talk", Andrew told him in a growly voice, "This ain't getting no easier with you" Neil took Andrew's hand off his mouth, which Andrew didn't protest against. "Geez", Andrew responded, then grabbed Neil by his waist and pulled him closer, not letting go of Neil's hand in the process. "You're so downright annoying, I want to smack you" **** This is mostly for me and my stupid self to let my fantasies play, feel free to read it, though. **** I started off when the 3rd book ended. *Warning: includes spoilers* (It mostly contains Andreil) Have fun :) *these characters belong to Nora Sakavic*
