At first, by default, only Drew drives the Maserati (and sometimes Neil on the rights of the person who paid for this car).
The front seat next to the driver is forever Neil's. Andrew just won't get behind the wheel if Josten isn't around.
Kevin can be indignant and deny for a long time, but he likes to ride in the back seat between Jeremy and Jean.
But there were exceptions when he changed places with someone (like, for example, the time when Jean had a panic attack right on the way, and he wouldn't let anyone near him except Knox; or when Andrew nearly passed out after driving for too long and Neil was filling in for him).
Jean always sits by the window, because he likes to watch the passing landscapes.
One day Andrew lets Day take the keys to car.
"If something happens to the baby Mas, you will explain to Josten yourself why I need a new car!", Minyard squints his eyes, poking at him with his finger.
"I'll be fine," Day sighs. "I promise, okay? I'll return the car in one piece in the evening."
Jeremy asks Minyard to teach him how to drive a car.
Andrew initially refuses, but then decides to take a chance.
"That's enough, I've had enough", the car almost blows off at the turn, Andrew manages to grab the steering wheel at the last moment. "Get out of there."
This is the very moment when Knox almost flew into a pole, endangering their lives. Some people are just born to be pedestrians.
"I'm sorry," Knox whispers this an infinite number of times, and Andrew realizes that he is in state of shock .
"It's okay, baby," Andrew gently puts his palms on his cheeks, turning to himself after nonverbal consent. "No one was hurt."
No one except Andrew (and, probably, Neil) knows this.
They don't talk about this situation, but Knox's desire to get behind the wheel disappears completely.
They have Kevin instead of a navigator.
Jean is responsible for the music. Needless to say, French songs sound mostly from the radio?)
Andrew doesn't care about speed limits, so fines become an integral part of their existence.
It pisses Kevin off because he cares about their reputation.
Jean likes to sit on the hood, throwing back his head, and look at the stars.
Usually at such moments the guys lose Jean, but in the end everyone gathers at the car.
"Look, guys," Moreau pokes at a random piece of sky. "There's the constellation Cygnus."
"That's not," Kevin denies, climbing onto the hood next to Jean.
Kev ruffles the Frenchman's hair and then lays his head comfortably on his lap.
"Like kids," Andrew grumbles, wrapping his arms around Neil's waist.
Jeremy bends down and jokes in Jean's ear that they can repeat the very scene of Rose and Jack from Titanic.
Andrew assure that this is a bad idea.
"Well, when I caught you, you didn't look unhappy," Kevin laughs contagiously.
"Shut up, Day. It really brings little pleasure," Andrew rolls his eyes.
Neil nods, kissing Jean on the neck.
Moreau gives Neil more space, lazily turning around, than opens access to the protruding collarbones.
"In the movies it looks beautiful, but in fact there is too little space in car to make love," Neil agrees with Minyard, recalling their recent experiments in the car.
Jean groans strangled, throwing up his hands, and blindly finds the back of Josten's head, pulling him to himself.
They merge in a lingering kiss, and even Andrew, who can be surprised by little, sticks to this scene.
"Jesus," Jeremy hides his face in his hands, embarrassed. "Are you, guys, serious?"
"Ye-e-eah," Kev pulls him by the edge of his T-shirt to himself. "Or do you have something against, pretty boy?"
Jeremy thinks, that his boyfriends have no language filter (and no conscience either).
Andrew lights a cigarette, feeling that they will not be able to sleep that night.
neil and the foxes part 2 because i can’t control myself and i’m a hoe for aaron x katelyn (the first part of this can be found here or in the aftg headcanon tag on my blog)
after a bit neil realizes that he actually really likes physical affection, he never knew that touch could be so friendly and warm and caring
the foxes are always careful, but they pick up on how he subconsciously leans in or gets a tiny smile
allison starts pecking him on the cheek before and after games and it stirs up some media attention that they both mercilessly sass away
dan always hugs him and matt ruffles his hair, renee likes to link their arms together, and nicky starts dramatically collapsing on him during halftime or hangs onto him whenever they’re out and about
kevin does not do touch and neither does andrew or aaron, but there are rare occasions in which kevin will clap neil on the shoulder in stoic approval
neil and katelyn become friends and it’s super confusing at first but everyone quickly realizes it kinda makes sense in a weird way
neil especially likes how she’s just super casual about the intensity of the competitive cheer she’s done for her whole life, like he just stares at her in awe while she’s happily recounting all the times she either bruised her ribs or fell from terrifying heights
she shows him a video of her tumbling like a badass and nicky’s like “twinyards your s.o.’s are going to run off together”
whenever aaron is being a dick or difficult in practice, neil starts pretending to wave at someone nearby and goes “hey katelyn!”
it is RIDICULOUS how aaron keeps on falling for it, like he knows she’s not there at 7AM on a tuesday morning but he still perks up and his head whips around
the rest of the team starts doing it and if he didn’t hate neil before he definitely hates him now
neil confesses he doesn’t really have a favorite food and everyone is appalled
even though he’s traveled all over the place, they avoided restaurants and mostly just went for whatever was cheapest and fast
allison and nicky make it their mission to introduce him to as much stuff as possible and see if anything really catches his attention
neil does not care for sweets or spicy stuff at all, which results in the expected “you’re so white” jokes from nicky
he does really like stuff heavy on the umami, so the team starts ordering a LOT of asian food
at the end of the upperclassmen’s last championship (that they totally win of course), neil breaks his ankle in literally the last thirty seconds dodging his mark to make a goal
he tries to pretend he’s fine but he falls down when he tries to walk so matt scoops him up bridal style and andrew stays glued to him
they completely ignore the press and celebrating and everyone goes with him to the ER and force their way to his bedside
it’s bad enough the doctors put him on painkillers which make him super high, but he doesn’t have anything to hide anymore so…
neil starts to just like spill all of his feelings about everyone and they’re already so overwhelmed by winning championships a second time they can’t take this too
“matt i just want you to know that you’re like my big brother and you’re always taking care of me and i know you and dan are going to make such good parents one day” “dan you’re so strong and beautiful i want to be like you when i grow up, i swear i’m gonna try to be as good to the foxes as you were to us”
“kevin you absolute ASSHOLE, you FIEND, you’re the best exy player ever and that’ll never change and i wouldn’t be good without you, i hate to say it but you deserve happiness i guess” “katelyn’s way out of your league aaron i have no idea how the fuck you got her but don’t lose her and i want to be your child’s godfather”
“allison you’re such a bitch but you’re my best friend and i wouldn’t have it any way, you can cook my face whenever you want” (everyone knows he means bake) “renee, renee i would always stick with you during the apocalypse, whenever you do the hooky elbow thing i feel all safe and warm inside”
“nicky…we’re your family now. we’re always gonna be your family now. okay?”
“wymack you’re not fooling anyone with your tats, we all know you’ve adopted us, i used to be scared of you because of my dad–FUCK him by the way–but i realized what good dads are like because of you” “abby i would kill anyone who wronged you, even if they cut you in line at the grocery store, i would knife them no hesitation”
he mumbles something to andrew that no one else can hear, but that’s fine
everyone’s too busy weeping anyway
neil’s a little in and out after that, but when he fully regains consciousness he’s on a pile of blankets, surrounded by his team again on the floor
i need to stop myself but…mayhaps a part 3 is coming??
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry that he hurt you, I’m sorry that you’re still afraid to talk about it, and I’m sorry that you think I’ll never understand. I’m sorry that he tricked you into thinking you deserved it."
SHE SAID THAT THEY WERE DATING, MY BABIES ARE IN A FUCKING SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP
sometimes when I wanna make my self sad I just think about how the choking incident was quite possibly the most devastating way for Andrew and Kevin's deal to end
I finished aftg this week and I'm not ok, so I present aftermath Kevin Day but with hair grown out??
My thoughts behind the drawing under more ❗️spoilers for King's Men (last book)❗️
Kevin after Riko's death. Kevin attending the private funeral despite every horrible thing as a last goodbye, maybe out of spite, maybe to reassure himself the king is dead, maybe out of actual grief, either way he arrives, paying his respects ...
my campain for everyone to read all for the game continues
these two, i’m… *shakes fist*
/check for some serious triggers before reading tho!/
It's too cold outside, I wanna join their warm and cozy hugs :"
this game has welcomed me back to moe hell with open arms
edit: fixed it, ya filthy animals!
Sometimes you have to beg your best friend to leave the only place he’s called home since his mother died because he will not survive if he stays - even if that means leaving you. Sometimes you have to mop up your best friend’s blood and try not to look at bone sticking out of skin. Sometimes you have to convince your bestfriend that the person he loves (the person you hate more than anything) does not love him and will never love him and never did love him because love doesn’t look like sacrificing someone else’s dream for the sake of your own pride. Sometimes you have to let your best friend go even though it might end with you soaked in your own blood because you know that you were always stronger than him and you can endure it - you have to endure it. Sometimes you are Jean Moreau and you are very very alone.
