Yippee Ki Yay Mother Fucker
They aren’t exactly romantic.
Let’s face it; no one is ever going to accuse either of them of being the leading man or the classic love interest. They’re the comedic relief or the side kick at best. The gay best friend maybe or on a good day the geek that gets the girl.
Not that there’s a girl involved in this.
But you get the point.
Andy can’t even honestly say that he was watching Ash from afar for a long time before they got together. It’s just not true.
See, the way it’s always worked on their team was that there was Dean and Sam, and then Jo and Pam, and then everybody else. Everybody else was made up of Andy, Ash, and Max.
But Max is gone now.
Andy tries not to think about that part of the story too much. It hurts, even years later.
But Max is a part of the story. There had always been the three of them, Andy the front man, the used car salesman that could convince a burning man that he needed a lighter. His mother once told him he was the only person she had ever met that could tell a person to go to hell and have them ask for directions. Then Ash, the brains of the operation; he made whatever cracked out plan they had for their free time come true. It was Max, shy, quiet, Max that was the glue that held them together.
So when Max was suddenly gone they didn’t know what to do.
Andy had wandered the halls for hours that night, lost in his head with nothing to say for the first time in his whole life. Ash had found him on his third trip through the courtyard and taken him back to his room. Andy spent the night wrapped around his friend; their tails tangled up in such a mess that he never thought he would be able to work the kinks out the next day.
After that it was like some unspoken agreement between them. Andy never went home. It was weeks later before a debate about the immediate uses of jet propulsion turned into a tickle fight that ended with Ash trying to suck one of Andy’s tonsils out with just the power of his mouth. After that he guess they just sort of fell in love.
No big declarations, no moment of enlightenment, no drama. It snuck up on them both. Andy kind of hopes maybe Max had a hand in that. It really is the best joke ever.
So now when they’ve spent the day on daycare duty, chasing a princess and Jo and Lucifer’s evil set of twins around while their parents worked out some kind of security issue; and are collapsed on the floor of their wrecked apartment in a heap of exhaustion Andy thinks back on all of those moments they didn’t have and smiles.
“How do you even have the strength to grin?” Ash groans from the floor beside him.
“I was thinking about our epic love affair,” Andy chuckles.
“Do what?” Ash snorts and he rolls over and pokes at him with the tip of his tail.
“It’s nothing,” Andy shrugs. “I was just thinking about how we sort of just fit you know? How it was easy.”
Ash looks at him for a long time and Andy starts to suspect his mate might be about to have a moment of intimate honesty with him. Then Ash says “Of course it was easy,” with a flip of his hair “How could you not love all of this?”
Andy is still making gagging sounds when Ash drags his face close enough to kiss. Maybe he’s got a little more energy than he thought he had.
