andrew: happy birthday kevin [hands gift to neil]
you ever think about how neil came to the foxhole court every inch a lie but his friends made him into someone real? how he began trusting them with little parts of himself gradually, how he accepted that staying with them would mean death, and stayed anyway. about how he was their family, they were his. they were worth every every cut and bruise and scream. i will never move on from how neil found himself in the middle of these misfits, found trust and friendship and love and protection, found the wish to live instead of just survive, found the wish to stay and fight and protect instead of run away, because he finally found something worth fighting and staying and risking his life for.
you ever think about coach hernandez? of how he noticed neil's potential and that there was something going on with him and how he would perfectly fit with wymack's misfits and submitted his file to the foxes. of how he unknowingly pushed neil in the right direction to getting a real opportunity at life? how he might hear about neil on the news and be like fuck? i knew something was up but this is insane. he did such a small thing and changed the trajectory of neil's life forever
headcanon that kevin starts to pick up on a bit of german since he's around the monsters so much and he absolutely hates that he's starting to understand andreil's insane brand of flirting when they think nobody who could understand it is around
still foaming at the mouth at the fact that neil and andrew have matching flip phones, matching coats, matching armbands, they both have keys to the maserati. the fact that they are inseparable to the point that jean notices the way they move like they are caught in each other's gravity, the lingering looks when one falls out of the orbit for too long. neil learning the importance of give and take from andrew and offering jean something in exchange for keeping him alive. you are what you love or whatever
one of the funniest things neil ever did was talk katelyn into talking aaron into talking andrew into having joint therapy sessions like damn he was plotting
