Omg hi so I'm thinking of starting a oneshot book specifically for this version of Remdy. Would you be interested? I'd take requests and think up situations that haven't happened in these books, and it'd mean that when this comes to an end, the characters can live on.

Thoughts?

Brief (very brief) mentions of eating disorder + self harm.

BbyAndykins: First of all, don't ask about my username, Remington changed it while I wasn't looking. Now I'm changing his. What should it be?? We made it to Paris! Here's a photo some French strangers took of us. They were very kind and even gave us some restaurant recommendations.

"Stop ignoring me," Remington whines, pulling on Andy's arm as the man posts to Instagram.

"I'm not ignoring you. I heard everything you just said."

"Go on then."

"You said 'my feet hurt, can we stop walking?' and then you asked if I could carry you."

Remington giggles.

"See, didn't ignore you. And yes, I can carry you." He puts his phone away and crouches to let Remington onto his back, standing up carefully and holding the boy's legs.

"I feel so tall."

"Where d'you wanna go? We could walk by the river."

Remington rests his chin on the older's head. "Yeah, river." He exhales calmly. "Do you like your new username?"

"Mm, of course I do. I changed yours."

"To what?"

"You'll just have to find out."

"Where are we going?"

"The river," Andy says, "sorry if I drop you."

"Oi, shut up. You better not drop me. I'll push you into the water."

"You're cute." He lets go of Remington's legs for a moment and the boy yelps, Andy laughing.

Remington tightens his grip on Andy's shoulders. "Fucking bitch!"

The man chuckles. "D'you wanna go see a movie tonight? There are so good one on in the cinema. "

"Are they in French?"

"Duh."

"How am I supposed to understand French?"

"Dunno. Just guess what they're saying? Oh, I have an idea!"

Remington plays with his hair.

"So we both try and work out what was happening and then afterwards, we google it and see who was closest."

"You're a genius!"

Andy laughs. "I know. I'm amazing."

Remington hums. "You are," he agrees, "and you're all mine."

"No, you're all mine."

"Nope."

"No?"

"You're mine."

Andy chuckles. "If I'm yours, the doesn't that mean you have to carry me instead?"

"No."

"I see."

Remington hums again, smiling. "You're mine until I'm sad, and then I'm yours and you're completely responsible for not letting me die." He taps Andy's forehead. "I want your skin."

"I will always not let you die," the man says, and then, "honey, as much as I love you, I don't wanna be skinned."

"No, I mean 'cause it's so smooth and clear."

"Uh...so is yours! Putting you down now."

"No, why?"

"'cause my arms ache. We can sit by the river for a bit."

"But my legs aren't ready to be responsible for my body yet."

The older laughs. "Better get them ready then."

"No, Andy, I'll fall!"

"No you won't." He lowers the boy down slowly, waiting for him to stabilize himself before taking his hand. "See, you're still standing."

Remington whines. "I don't like it."

"I don't like you."

"Lie."

"I love you."

"Ew, shut up."

"What?"

Remington smiles. "Stop being cringy"

"How is saying I love you cringy?"

"You said it in a cringy voice."

The man rolls his eyes, leading Remington towards a bench. "Guess I'll just never say it again then."

"That's not what I said!"

"You're impossible."

"You're a bitch."

"You're an impossible bitch."

"Love you."

Andy sits on the bench. "Same to you."

"No, you gotta say it."

"Too cringy, sorry," the older jokes, "never saying it again."

"Andy," Remington whines, sitting on him.

"Okay, fine. I love you too."

"Cringy."

"I give up."

"You can't give up."

"Why not?"

Remington slides off him and onto the bench beside him. "'cause then who am I supposed to cry into?"

"Got me there."

"Good. Only I'm allowed to give up."

"I see."

"Yep."

In the evening, the two buy cinema tickets for a French film they picked because the person on the poster is, in Remington's words, "a cute fuckin' guy."

They sit side by side with a box of popcorn, trying way too hard to work out what's happening and muffling laughs when Andy whispers that one of the characters looks like a constipated version of Sebastian.

After the film, on the walk back to their hotel in the dark, they stop to make out for a while outside of a patisserie, which is closed for the night. When they finally get back to the hotel at past midnight, they turn on the television and sit in bed tracing one another's tattoos, happy.

"Y'know, I think you're perfect," Remington says quietly, "not just physically. Everything about you. I just wanna, like, thank you. For being so kind and patient and open minded. Never known anyone to be as perfect as you."

"Now who's being cringy?" He kisses Remington's hand. "I dunno what to say to that other than I think you're perfect, too."

"'m sleepy."

"You're my perfect sleepy sweetheart."

"Shh."

Sleepysweetierem: Husband changed my username, I think it's very fitting. Had a perfect day in Paris. Don't mind me posting this in the middle of the night because I just woke up. Andy's so pretty when he sleeps, my heart can't take it. Gonna start celebrating small (and big) wins here. Comment anything you did today that you're proud of.
