Summary
Andrew sinks into the couch as Neil’s warmth melts through hm.
For so long, touch had been nothing but pain. A tally of someone else’s control over his body.
But here Neil is: his pink cheek resting lazily on Andrew’s knee and his trust tucked snugly into the curve of Andrew’s lap as if there is nowhere safer for it to be.
Neil touches him – and Andrew realises that not a single trace of hurt exists within it.
Early life taught Andrew that touch and care bring nothing but pain.
Neil, however, is insistent on showing him how utterly devoid of violence it can be – to want and be wanted.
Or
Andrew and Neil learn how to redefine what touch and care mean to them

Summary
Andrew understands that realistically, bringing Neil into his home is the next step for the trust they've built together.
Funny, how his instincts scream at him to make it happen. Wolves are surprisingly self-indulgent creatures; he knew this, but he's only now realizing how true it is. He's simply never had something he wanted to indulge in this badly before.
Andrew fights his brain from whirring with pros and cons, unlikely scenarios, and inevitable possibilities. In the end, he shuts it all down; he's taking this step, and he hates looking back. He can only go forward with Neil at his side, and by default, that means it cannot be the wrong direction.

Summary
Punching your roommate is not a very smart idea. Starting a friends with benefits relationship with said roommate is an even worse one. Setting up a string of rules to keep it purely physical and make sure you don’t catch feeling but catching them anyways is certainly the stupidest thing you could do in that situation.
Luckily for Neil, he never claimed to be smart.
