hmmmm okay i know we all like skinny twink neil and jacked twunk andrew, but pls realize that neil doesn’t just have muscly legs.
i play lacrosse, and lemme tell you those racquets are pretty light when you first feel them but playing full games are fucking hard like. really fucking hard at first and exy racquets are a lot more heavy, or at least i assume cause it’s a contact sport and you can’t fucking snap your racquet when you check someone so.
if neil’s gonna run around like. hours every day carrying a heavy ass racquet and Actually Swinging it and scoring the whole time his arms are jacked as well so i propose the idea that both neil and andrew are fuckin muscular.
(also this means that neil is definitely able 2 carry andrew and vice versa and maybe, just maybe after years and years of trust and love neil will carry andrew on his shoulders, maybe at a pride parade??)
I feel like we forget about how close Abby and Neil are, I mean she was the first to see his scars and not say anything, if only because he asked her not to...
She hugged him and he compared her to his mother...
He felt so vulnerable afterward that he snapped at Nicky to not bet on grief...
Like wow... where are the fanfics and headcananons of Abby being his mother figure...
utterly obsessed with the niche but incredibly romantic concept that is “late night radio show host falls hopelessly in love with and pines for recurring caller, oblivious to the fact that the person calling in whenever they’re on air is also in love with and pining for them after finding comfort in listening to their voice every night on their long commutes home”
Kevin running his hand through Neil's hair while Neil sleeps. Holding Andrew's hand with the other. Andrew absently, almost-- almost, but not quite-- accidentally tracing Kevin's scar with the tip of his finger.... Soft light filtering through the blinds... a perfect portrait of tenderness and the deepest love...
