Matt Boyd, the bestie that you are
Me thinking about Neil, years after reading the series VS Me seeing Neil again while rereading the series (I love him either way)
Sometimes Neil was so lonely and so starving for touches, that he hold his own hand during the night.
Sometimes Andrew was so disconsolate and afraid, that he squished his own fist with the other hand under the pillow.
One day they were sleeping together and Neil’s hand finds Andrew’s and they won’t let go each other anymore.
jeremy really was like "I hate both of my last names :) can we give our dog yours" and jean caved in like zero seconds. loser didn't stand a chance.
the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself
