Andrew Minyard is the Smartest Ever and I Need to Discuss It

So one night Andrew and Neil are both perching on Andrew’s desk which he has pushed by the window because they’re both blowing their smoke out through the screen 

It’s finals week and all of Neil’s books are scattered underneath where they are sitting 

Andrew is already done his finals because seniors take theirs early 

The seniors are celebrating senior week but Andrew much rather prefers staying in and pretending it’s a hardship helping Neil study even though he secretly doesn’t mind 

And after they’re done smoking, Andrew says something like “you sure have become a slob for a former runaway” and Neil just rolls his eyes and dramatically swipes all the papers and books from the desk into his backpack to shut Andrew up 

Not realizing that he accidentally swept some of Andrew’s papers from the desk 

Probably because they made out on the desk for about 45 minutes afterward

So the next day when Neil is trying to cram during his five minutes between exams he starts rummaging through his bag for his notes 

And instead finds a letter 

And he’s confused why he has a university official letter in his bag and starts reading it 

But then he notices it’s addressed to Andrew 

So he’s about to stop 

But TOO LATE because then he sees in bold letters 

“Congratulations on being this year’s Valedictorian" 

And Neil sucks in a breath so hard that he starts choking 

And now he has to fucking SIT THROUGH an entire FUCKING EXAM knowing this information 

I mean Neil knew Andrew was smart but he did not know he was this smart

That even when Andrew was hospitalized he was still doing his work and getting straight A's 

Cause Andrew has always gotten straight A's 

When he was in the foster system he probably used doing homework and studying and reading as an outlet 

And Neil spends at least half of his english exam wondering when in the world Andrew has time to study between Exy practices and Neil being a constant pain in his ass 

But then Neil starts to put some of the pieces together and thinks about all the times he was studying and Andrew would just be reading in the corner 

Or how Andrew never misses any of his classes for anything unless Neil says he needs him 

And now Neil feels guilty for any time that he pulled Andrew from class 

And Neil knows Andrew’s schedule by heart except it never really clicked that Andrew has been in 400 level classes since Neil has known him 

But Andrew never puts in effort!!! With anything!!! So it doesn’t make sense!!! Except it /does/ because Andrew only puts in effort if nobody is asking him to 

Nobody ever hounds Andrew about classes or his grades probably thinking it would be pointless to do so 

Except nobody apparently had to because Neil apparently has the smartest boyfriend in the world 

His dick might be half hard by the time he hands in his exam

I mean he basically pops a boner every time Andrew wears his glasses so it is #confirmed he has a huge kink for intelligence and intelligent looks

So Neil gets through his English exam and rushes back to his dorm 

That he shares with Andrew and Kevin 

And he barges in and is looking down at the paper saying “You’re valedictorian??!!??” 

And when he looks up he realizes it isn’t just Andrew in the room 

Neil is stunned into silence 

Andrew is perched in his regular spot 

And all of the rest of the foxes are scattered across the floor watching a movie together like literally ALL OF THEM like the past foxes too because they came to visit!!!! Because Neil only has one last exam tomorrow but also to sort of have an excuse to be there for the other foxes’ graduation

But now all eyes are on Andrew

And Andrew is looking at Neil with the most passive expression 

Nicky is the first to speak letting out a stunned “What the fuck" 

He earns a glare from Andrew

Kevin, Matt, and Aaron are looking between Neil and Andrew in complete shock 

Renee looks unsurprised but gives Andrew this small proud mom smile 

Kevin, Matt, and Aaron are literally giving themselves whiplash 

Dan and Allison are just sort of looking at Neil for further explanation since they know they won’t get any from Andrew 

But Neil doesn’t have any explanation 

And he’s short circuiting because everybody is there 

Also he feels like he just revealed one of Andrew’s big secrets or something 

But Andrew just slides off the desk and walks over to Neil 

And takes the paper out of Neil’s hands 

Whips out his lighter 

Sets the paper on fire 

Drops it in the bin 

And says “guess I’m not valedictorian anymore" 

Before retreating back to his perch like nothing happened

Forcing everybody to act like nothing happened like the little shit he is

Later on, Neil brings it up while hovering over his math textbook trying to memorize the last few equations and failing

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

Andrew ignores his question in favor of picking up a piece of paper and scribbling a bunch of numbers on it

“Solve this”

So Neil sighs, figuring he’s not going to get anywhere else tonight and solves the equation and hands it back to Andrew

But Andrew doesn’t take it, just raises an eyebrow and says “What did you get?”

And Neil reads out “286%” before realizing what it actually means.

There's a long scene of Gilgamesh just asking enkidu about how different people are doing in the afterlife, I take it as like moral lessons on how people live their lives but god these two together are so fucking funny "they cannot mend his bones"

“ronan’s second secret was adam parrish.”

Okay, I might be pulling this out of my ass but since that finals match was in Evermore that means the foxes should have been wearing their white away jerseys. Which means: the final match was a game of chess.

Not only are they wearing white, but they have first serve (Dan won the coin toss), and near the end the Foxes' king (Neil, because this is a battle between Riko and Neil) changes positions with the tower (Matt, a defenseman that towers over most people) creating the illusion of a castling.

And right there at the end, Riko attempts to kill Neil because they're in front of each other, but that's not how kings work. In the time it takes him to take that step, Andrew closes the gap and strikes. Check mate.

I feel like most people forget Adam is almost as much of a nerd as Gansey, he's just more... covert about it.

Madly into Andrew’s sense of humour, when he called Neil a Pinocchio — not just because he was a liar, but also because of Neil’s desperate desire to be a real boy.

The secret history as onion headlines (there will be more bc I cannot stop)

Bunny wtf
