I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'close together?' is the definition.
'neck and neck' can be an answer for 'close' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'together?' bit.

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for neck and neck that I've seen before include "New lovers frequently do it" , "Bill and coo" , "Keep on kissing" , "keep on canoodling" , "being close?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
