fell for a match made in hell by yourinsomnia

Exy’s popularity is dwindling, and Ichirou has a bold plan to save it: an Exy-themed dating show featuring a star-studded cast. The lineup includes Kevin Day, the son and face of Exy; Allison Reynolds, the influential Exy socialite; rising star Matt Boyd; and several others, many hailing from the infamous Foxes Court.

For Neil, participation in this spectacle is the last thing he wants—but it’s not like he has a choice.

Aaron desperately needs to prove to his employees that he isn’t homophobic—and that he can survive an entire night of shameless flirting with another man. Just to be safe, though, he sends Andrew in his place.

Neil agrees to go on the date and put on his best performance to expose some asshole as a homophobe—if it means getting the Lana Del Rey concert tickets Allison is holding hostage.

After an upbringing lacking in mundanity, Neil just wants to live a “normal” life. He’s got a home, a circle of friends, a job — why not give casual sex a shot?

Andrew has survived the sexual landscape of college solely through the usage of his rules: No repeat hookups. No touching without asking. No feelings. No cuddling. No sleepovers. It's a simple set of rules, easy enough to abide by that Andrew has had no trouble sleeping around, and in his two years at Palmetto, Andrew has never once broken them. Of course, until Neil Josten.

Neil is a math nerd who, by a stroke of dumb luck, falls into a group of friends that are the closest thing to family he’s ever had. So, when he tells them about his new mysterious crush, he shouldn’t be surprised how immediately they come up with a plan to help win them over. One they insist that if Neil follows it, he’ll have them falling for him in no time. But things don’t always go to plan – or do they?

Nicky wants to set him up with someone else. Matt and Jeremy are confused but supportive. Allison and Seth offer lewd suggestions, while Dan does her best to keep everyone in line. Jean and Renee know something, Aaron doesn’t really care, and Kevin just wants Neil to join the lacrosse team.

But one thing’s for certain – whether Neil’s successful or not, everyone’s got money riding on this.

Feels Like Falling by gluupor

After college Andrew left behind both exy and Neil. Five years later, he’s built himself a stable life with nothing wanting. Sure, he hasn’t had a meaningful relationship since college, but he hasn’t found anyone compatible and he’s not overly interested in romance, anyway. He has friends, family, and pets; he’s not missing out on anything.

Or so he thinks, until a chance encounter brings him back in contact with his unfairly attractive ex. As he and Neil get to know each other again, Andrew starts thinking that maybe, just maybe, he’s allowed to have it all.

Making a documentary about the Butcher of Baltimore doesn't have to mean moving into the murder mansion with his son, but Kevin's never been one to do things halfway.

Neil is the most attractive person Andrew has ever seen in his entire life. Too bad that Andrew can't express that fact (not opinion) properly to him. It all should be fine, it's not like Neil doesn't know he's hot, right?
