Fluent Freshman - Part 45

Renee Walker stands next to two of her best friends in the entire world holding up a hand drawn sign. There's an, admittedly crudely drawn, Fox on the sign that Allison had made up.

Renee had seen it and smiled from across the airport as she made her way over to where Dan and Allison were standing waiting for everyone to come. The team had managed to coordinate their flights to land all within about two hours of one another and Allison had exactly zero desire to go back and forth from the airport so her driver was waiting out at a nearby cellphone lot to come and get them once everyone was there.

"Is it nice having a driver again?" Dan asks Allison.

"I sometimes miss driving around in my car but it's a lot easier to do my makeup with him driving." she says with a shrug as they continue to catch up. Renee is holding up the sign since Allison had complained that she had lost so much of the muscle she had previously had.

"Yeah, New York City seems like a major pain in the ass to drive in too." Dan agrees as her phone buzzes. She pulls out her phone and looks at it before a huge smile fills her face, one that means she's talking to Matt, "Oh! They just landed!" Dan says confirming Renee's suspicions.

Allison looks at her watch, "Wow, 20 minutes early. They must have gotten through boarding quickly." she comments.

"Or some good tailwind." Renee offers.

"When are Neil and Andrew due up?" Dan asks looking at Renee who smiles back at her friend.

"Andrew said they're going to take a break halfway here so they'll be here tomorrow morning." Renee says.

"Get it Neil." Allison nods and it had been a wonderful thing last year to watch Andrew and Allison make peace with one another. Their mutual desire to dress Neil up a bridge towards....maybe not friendship but camaraderie.

It warms Renee's heart to see her friends get along.

"The plane got tailwind, Neil's getting tail." Dan jokes.

"I'm looking forward to meeting the new kid that I've heard about." Renee says gently moving the topic on from their friends getting together. It didn't bother her at all, but she knew that Andrew would prefer no one talk about what he and Neil got up to.

"Oh! Yeah, uh..." Dan visibly buffers.

"Dan, you're the only one of us that's met the kid. His name's Smith." Allison says with eyebrows raised in judgement.

"Look, when Coach and I went to recruit the kid my brain was like 90% on the fact that I needed to go to my interview." Dan defends herself.

"So he wasn't that memorable for you?" Allison asks.

"Yeah, I'm surprised that he's getting along so well with the guys." Dan says. "Getting stabbed over Thanksgiving feels more like a Neil move than the quiet kid Coach and I met." she adds.

That had been an interesting phone call from Andrew. Renee hadn't even realized that she had become Natalie describing the best way to get rid of the body until Andrew had clarified that it'd been an accident and Smith was alive. Renee had been a little ashamed.

She was excited to meet the kid who Andrew had spoken to her about. Glad that their strange found family was growing just a little bit bigger.

They wait around continuing to talk about plans for the break together. Allison wants to go shopping and she wants to do it once Neil and Andrew are back. Dan wants to skate at the Rockefeller center. Renee would love it if they could do Christmas Eve Mass.

They're sure that Kevin is going to want to check out an Exy game. They're mostly sure that Matt will want to check out the LEGO store in downtown manhattan and that Aaron will be as excited for that as Matt is but pretending not to be. Nicky wants to catch a drag show and has made it clear that he will be going regardless of what anyone else wants to do. Andrew and Neil will probably just want to be alone when they have the chance though Neil had expressed some prior interest in the EXITES superstore and Andrew will more than likely enjoy the day Allison has planned to go shopping since she wants to update Neil's wardrobe.

The new kid, Smith, will be a mystery, but they're more than willing to be flexible.

Eventually they hear the tell-tale sign of most of the boy's arrival. "Babe!" comes from across the airport and Dan's head shoots up and spots the sight of Matt Boyd approaching his arms out wide almost clotheslining four different families on his way to Dan.

Dan is not much better as she rushes to him arms as wide.

They embrace like they always do whenever they have to spend time apart from one another and Renee knows that part of the reason that Dan took her job as assistant coach where she did is that the Washington State Congress Team had been looking at Matt the year prior to scout him.

She looks beyond the passionate reunion and sees Kevin, Aaron, and Nicky. She frowns brows furrowing...

Weren't they going to bring-

Nicky throws his arm out and it wraps around a kid she hadn't even realized was there. She blinks startled by his sudden appearance and blank expression as Nicky was pointing them out. He points to her and he can see her name on his lips she gives a wave and a smile.

Smith nods back in greeting.

He seems quite nice.

***

Renee is at the end of her proverbial rope.

This kid is a threat and she doesn't understand how she's the only person who can see it.

Being a threat isn't really an issue when you're a Fox. It's almost a given that there's some part of you that can be dangerous when backed into a corner but no one seems to be treating him like a threat.

She watches as Nicky and Matt throw their arms around him. As Kevin pushes smoothie after smoothie into his hands as he blankly sips. As Andrew and Neil sit with him quietly. As Dan pinches his cheeks. As Aaron ribs him for being bad at MarioKart.

She can't feel anything from him, no joy, no anger, nothing.

She can't even track him.

Renee has always prided herself on her ability to keep track of those around her. Spacial awareness was incredibly important when you're in a fight and it had always been one of her strongest points. She always knew where she was in relation to everyone else.

Except Smith.

The kid had given her no shortage of heart attacks as he appeared and disappeared seemingly at random.

She had finally gotten Andrew alone to ask, "Smith's quiet, non-intrusive." Andrew says with a shrug.

There's just something about him that makes the hair on the back of Renee's neck stand on edge and she hates feeling like she's the only one. She hates it even more that there's no real evidence that there's something amiss with this newest Fox.

So she settles in to watch.

They're out shopping and Allison is doing her best to get Neil a proper wardrobe with Andrew's considerable help, AKA nodding in approval when Neil comes out. She's not skimping on any of them but Neil is her main focus.

"Smith, what's a color you like?" Allison asks as she's looking at hoodies.

"I like purple." Smith answers and Renee barely manges to stop herself from flinching as his voice comes from right next to her.

"Pass." Andrew says as Neil comes out in a charmingly orange sweatshirt.

"I like it!" Neil argues.

"You have 10 sweatshirts that are that exact shade of orange." Andrew dismisses. "Try the blue one." he says pushing Neil back into the dressing room.

"Which one?" Neil asks.

Andrew sighs dramatically in a way that lets Renee know that he's doing exactly what he wants to be doing, "I'll show you." he says going into the dressing room with Neil.

"I still don't know how it took Baltimore for me to realize they were together." Nicky says as he's holding up two different purple sweatshirts to Smith's body. "You look good in a more purpley purple." Nicky says putting the more indigo colored sweatshirt back on the rack.

"Pants are coming up next, I'll get a lay of the land. I know everyone else's but Smith what's your height?" Allison asks.

"Five feet, nine inches." Smith answers as Nicky pushes him towards the dressing room. "Nicky it's a sweatshirt, I can put it on out here." Smith says.

"I know but I need an excuse to go back there and make sure Neil and Andrew aren't defiling a dressing room." Nicky says with a grin that implies he'd be more happy if they were.

"Gross." Aaron says as he takes a picture of himself to send to Katelyn to approve of the new outfit that Allison was pushing for him to get. "Wait," he pauses turning to where Allison was looking through various men's pants, "you know our heights? Like you've memorized them?" he asks.

"Yeah." Allison says looking at a pair of black slacks. "Everyone's measurements." she says nodding to herself.

"Even bust sizes?" he asks, voice not as quiet as he likely thinks it is.

"You're such a boy." Allison laughs not even looking up from the very different rack.

"How much longer are we going to be here?" Kevin asks with a sigh.

"Well, at least the time that it took you to ask that longer. We'll be done when we're done Kevin." Dan says long having given up on stopping Allison when the woman is on a spree.

"She knows that EXITES closes at 5 PM right?" Kevin asks.

"More importantly," Matt leans in, "that the LEGO store closes at 8 PM right?" Matt asks.

"How is that more important? The LEGO store is open later?" Kevin asks.

"Because we're not going to EXITES today, but we are going to the LEGO store." Matt says.

"If we don't spend the whole day here we can do both-"

"We're not going to EXITES today Kevin." Dan says with a sigh.

"But-"

"We're not going to EXITES today Kevin." Renee says with an apologetic smile.

"But-"

"Kevin, we're not going to EXITES today. Just sit down and let me find pants that'll make your pin-up days look tame in comparison." Allison says.

"That's not what those posters were!" Kevin argues with a blush on his face.

"Sure." Allison dismisses

***

Renee is quite happy with the sundresses she found even if they won't do her any good here in New York City during the Christmas break. Their next stop on their shopping day is over to the LEGO store where Matt makes no attempt to hide his enthusiasm as Aaron very valiantly does try to pretend like he's not utterly entranced by the sets and builds.

Renee thinks it's all very charming.

"We could have gone to EXITES." Kevin says with a frown as he looks at a build of an Exy racquet. "Can you take my picture with this?" he asks but he's not quite looking at Renee.

"Sure." Smith says from beside her, where he had apparently been.

"Thanks Smiths." Kevin says and stands next to the Exy racquet of LEGOs and crosses his arms and leans back.

"Kevin, stop posing like this will be for the cover of a Forbes Magazine." Andrew says with a sigh as he comes to stand on Renee's other side.

"Shut up, it's a picture for me!" Kevin says and continues to stand with his arms crossed.

"Oh, can you get a picture of me next Smith?" Neil asks coming up eyes shining in excitement as he looks at the racquet.

"Sure. As an apology for letting Nicky-"

"Don't talk about it." Neil and Andrew say at the same time.

Kevin gets his picture and then Andrew hands his phone to Smith for Neil's since Neil had broken the lens on his camera ages ago.

They wander around and Kevin finds a set to build the National Court that he grabs without a second thought. Neil and Andrew find a little LEGO man of Kevin that they buy as their 'preferred Kevin'. Kevin of course threatens to buy their LEGO figures once they have them and refer to them as his 'preferred Andrew and Neil'. A threat that neither of them comment on but Renee does buy the little Jean Moreau she finds. She'll paint it Trojan colors and send it over to him as a little gift.

As she continues to browse with her purchase in hand she hears Nicky, "Smithy, if you like it you should get it!" Nicky insists.

"Is it the price?" Allison asks.

"Yeah, I don't want to spend that much." Smith says with a nod expression still worryingly blank.

"When's your birthday? It can just be an early or a late present from me." Allison asks.

"March 1st, but really I'm fine not getting it." Smith shakes his head. "It's not that I'd like it just my little brother liked trains." he says and Renee watches Nicky's face turn from joyful teasing to intense determination.

"We're getting this set." Nicky says grabbing it and marching over to the counter even as Smith followed after him.

Interesting.

***

They finish off their day with some ice skating.

Matt, Aaron, Andrew, and Kevin all fall into the 'challenged' category.

They get on the ice and all four immediately fall. Renee stifles her laughter as Andrew and Aaron scowl. "Are you okay?" Smith asks and Renee almost loses her balance as he skates by her.

"Why the fuck are you good at skating?" Aaron asks scowling even as he takes Smith hand. Renee skates over and offers a hand to Kevin as Matt and Andrew are being helped up by their respective partners.

"Oh," Allison says skating by, "have you been up to Canada or something often?" she asks.

"I've been to Canada a few times. It's more that there was a rink I would go to every once in a while." Smith answers before turning back to Aaron, "I can help you keep balanced." he says offering his other hand.

"Smith, I don't want to hold your hand. That's kind of gay." Aaron huffs letting go of Smith's hand only to immediately beef it again when he tried to move forward.

***

Skating was fun even if Aaron kept blushing as Smith helped him skate since he never really got his 'ice legs'. The rest of them all more or less skated on their own by the end or, in the case of Andrew and Matt, seemed fine to keep skating while holding on.

Renee was warming herself by the fireplace in Allison's home enjoying some hot chocolate as Allison took a seat next to her. There was a lot of commotion in the kitchen as the team was working to make dinner together. Renee had excused herself after Smith had startled her while she had a knife in hand and she'd almost stabbed him on instinct.

She's just relieved that no one seemed to notice the near murder.

"You okay? You seemed tense in there." Allison asks.

Well, almost no one.

"Yes, I'm fine." she smiles and hopes that Allison will believe it.

Allison looks at her and Renee does have the benefit that Allison is slightly drunk since she was told firmly not to help with the cooking since she'd paid for the majority of the day.

"I'm glad I got you alone, there's something I want to hear your opinion on." Allison says deciding, apparently, to let it go for now.

Renee relaxes smiling at her friend, "What's that?" she asks wondering what purchase or thing unpurchased Allison was regretting.

Allison looks at Renee, expression utterly serious. "Don't you think there's something...weird about this kid?" she asks.

Renee straightens up glad that Allison had also felt like something was off with the kid that her friends had brought along. "What do you mean?" she asks wanting to hear what Allison thought.

"Look, he seems really nice. I mean a little too nice to be a Fox to be honest but I mean I guess you're a Fox as well so..." Allison rambles slightly taking another sip of her wine.

"Yes, go on." Renee nods.

"Yeah, he seems nice and Matt said he's got his own stuff even if he didn't wanna go into what that stuff was." Allison continues and it's a good thing Allison is drinking white wine considering the white carpet and her gesticulations. "But...it's just.. okay you can't make fun of me. Even though this is about to sound crazy." Allison says.

"I would never do something like that." Renee swears.

"Promise me." Allison says expression grave as she lifts up a pinky.

Renee smiles despite herself and hooks her pinky with Allison's, "I promise to not make fun of you." she swears other hand over her cross.

"I think he's Justin Bieber."

#Fluent Freshman AU #I would like to thank Emry #Since I was talking with them about commissioning a pic of Smith #I searched 'bland white guy' and Justin Bieber popped up #and it has been my head canon.... EVER SINCE #So now you all have to deal with the fact that Smith is almost identical to JB #He's got the hair #he's 5 foot 9 #Born 3/1 #Brown hair #brown eyes #Smith just completely lacks JB's stage presence / confidence / rizz and it mostly renders him very distinguishable #Nicky absolutely bought that train lego set for Smith #and is like 'this summer you and me are gonna fucking build this for your brother'#Andrew and Neil were also like 3 hours later than they said they were going to be #due to late check out reasons #Kevin may have looked for a Riko figure out of habit but didn't find one #Neil and Andrew may have also looked for a Riko figure but they wanted to burn it #different strokes for different folks i suppose #Renee got some nice paints to do her little project for Jean #She's heard from Jeremy that he's recovering from the meatball head injury quite nicely #Jean keeps saying to stop calling it that #Jeremy: “but you almost bled Bechemel all over the place.”#Jean: “For the love of god stop saying that. I was concussed from the meatball.”

Okay so this is probably a bit of a stretch but...if you could create a character for Katie Mcgrath in the Girls on The Bus world...

What would be her profession?

Irish accent or Barely Concealed Irish accent?

How would she relate to the campaign?

Personality?

**How many episodes would it take before she was undressing Sadie with her eyes and doing the brow thing?

okay i’ve actually thought about this a bit and i think katie’s character would be one of the political candidates being followed by the girls. sadie would develop an infatuation with her, similarly to how she did with walker, and katie would become the main candidate sadie follows.

because she’s running for president and has to be born in the US and all that, she’d have the barley concealed irish accent (ngl i lost it at your wording there) but UGH can you imagine powerful politician katie with a full irish accent and sadie swooning after her every chance she gets???

in terms of personality, she’d be somewhere between season 2-3 lena when she’s still trying to be cold and concealed, and Saskia from SBB.

this is the vibe she gives in my head:

in terms of personality, i see her being an old money business bitch who is somewhat standoffish. she doesn’t like interacting with reporters but she knows she needs the media on her side. i see her as highly intelligent and i think it would be interesting to almost see a manipulative side to her - someone who knows how to work the media to her angle.

of course underneath all that, she has her soft side. and like all kmcg characters, she likely has a tragic backstory that involves some level of family estrangement, abuse, and and an iffy relationship with alcohol.

as renee rapp once said, i think she’d have good tits and a big heart

as for the last question- she would be doing the brow thing and undressing sadie with her eyes by like, their third interaction at the latest

#the girls on the bus #katie mcgrath #sadie mccarthy #anon #i’ve been thinking of writing a fic like this #but i don’t like including politics in my writing so idk how id make that happen

Well….I made myself very sad 😭 I wrote this in like 20mins so it’s not amazing. But I wanted to get it down while I saw it in my head. I’ll tweak it and then add it to AO3. I want to make it more rip your heart out. As I am a Renee/Jean shipper and that will not change, but if I’m going to write them breaking up then I want to be absolutely destroyed by it 😳

@capcavan @broken-heart-raven-queen this is what ya’ll inspired 🥲

Renee stared down at her plate. Untouched food stared back at her. She didn’t want to do this. She didn’t want to say goodbye. She didn’t want to break her own heart and his but she didn’t know what else to do.

They weren’t good for each other.

They weren’t right for each other.

She wished she could love him the way she wanted too and she knew deep down that he didn’t love her romantically either.

But how do you say goodbye to someone that you love? Who hasn’t done anything wrong? Someone that she did love with all her heart just not romantically. How do you say goodbye to a person who has been through so much and who looks at you, as though you hung the sun itself. And that was part of the problem, wasn’t it? His affection often felt more like worship than love. She didn’t want to be on a pedestal, she wanted to be loved and wanted for the flawed human being that she was.

She knew what she had to do. And now was the perfect time. Alone in his apartment and she was leaving for the PeaceCorp in two weeks. She could mourn alone and away from her friends worried gazes. And he would be going to stay with Kevin next week for a month so he wouldn’t be alone.

Jean stared at Renee. She wasn’t eating even though he had fixed her favorite and her eyes were sad. He knew what was coming. He knew that she was just working up the courage to let him go.

He hated it.

But also knew deep down that she was right. He just wasn’t strong enough to be the one to end them, to let her go; but she’d always been stronger. He was alive because of her strength.

He had known long before now, that what they had wouldn’t go the distance they didn’t love each other the way people who stayed together and got married and had children with a white picket fence love each other they.

Honestly, he wasn’t sure he would ever want to be a father. And he knew that being a mother was something Renee longed for one day in the far off future.

They loved each other, but not enough.

He often felt that she loved him with the care a mother, a good mother unlike his own, loved her child, or the way a deity loved their disciple. Part of that was his own fault, he held her up on a pedestal and it made her uncomfortable. But how could he not? She was his savior. He stopped believing in God, but he would never stop believing in Renee Walker.

So yes, he knew it was coming when he caught her looking at Matt and Dan with the same naked, longing that he knew he wore looking at Andrew and Neil. He never thought he would be jealous of Neil now that he was also free from Edgar Allen. But he was when he saw the fierce but subtle adoration that Andrew and Neil held for one another.

He knew it was coming and he knew it would be today; at this dinner. She would want clean break before leaving for the Peace Corp, and she wouldnt want him alone. Which is probably why she had enthusiastically encouraged his trip to see Kevin.

He didn’t know how he was going to live without her or if he would want to because being loved by Renee even when it was lacking in what he wanted was better than being not loved at all. What if she left and and his parents were right that no one would ever truly love him? Would she stay if he begged? No one else ever had. But he knew that she would, and eventually it would destroy them both.

Jean startled when he saw a tear roll down her cheek. And the small, shocked sound she made had him thinking that she hadn’t realized that she had started crying.

“I can’t do this” she whispered, her voice husky with the husky tears she was trying to hold back.

“I know”his voice was weak and sad.

At the sound of his voice Renee gave up the fight with her tears “I’m so sorry Jean”

“I know” he said again, his own tears beginning to fall “I am too.”

Renee choked on a sob “I do love you.”

Jean looked to the ceiling, hating to see her in such distress and also hating the awful feeling in his own chest “I love you too, it’s just not enough.”

Renee got up from her chair and moved to his lap, burrowing her face in his neck as she cried, and he clung to her tightly, afraid that this might be the last time he ever held her in his arms. “I don’t know what I’ll do without you in my life” he hated the words as soon as they left his mouth, hated their weakness. He wasn’t shocked when she pushed herself out of his arms but he was shocked to see the fierceness in her eyes “You will NEVER not have me in your life Jean. As long as I’m breathing you will always have family and someone who loves you. The end of our romantic relationship is not the end of us in each others lives.”

The relief that Jean felt at her words was overwhelming, he knew she meant them. He was not losing her completely. Their relationship would change but not end.

He hugged her back to him fiercely “thank you” he whispered against her ear.

“You will find someone Jean Moreau, you will find someone who will love you in the way the I can’t. They will adore the ground you walk on. They’ll see all the amazing things that I do and they’ll fall head over heels in love with you, and at first I’ll be jealous that it couldn’t be me and then I’ll love them because they love you.”

Jean sobbed into her neck. He believed in Renee Walker and hoped that she was right.

#aftg #all for the game #broke my heart #break up fic #very sad #not gonna tag the pair cause I don’t want to bring down that thread lol

@badcompanys sent 🤝x 10 to introduce more of my npcs!

npc meme: not accepting!

reese dunn ( michael goorjian ) - best friend and roommate of corbin bailey. a hopeless romantic with a heart of gold but a mean streak and a quick temper. passionately shares the same punk, anarchist views as corbin. can often be found at rallies and protests, where he’s never afraid to throw the first stone - or punch - for what he believes in.

zachary ‘zack’ marshall ( landon liboiron ) - an outcast in the town of greymire - which never bodes well. accused of assaulting a rich woman he’d never even seen before, zack was brought into the woods and dropped in front of walker bishop. as he pleaded for his life, walker realized there might be more to the story than seen. also accused of crimes he didn’t commit, walker sympathized and offered to help instead of harm.

mathilda ‘mattie’ reynolds ( lily tomlin ) - the eccentric aunt to mitchell nelson. mattie started the diy craft store scissor me timbers in the late 80′s and operated it for nearly thirty years before deciding to retire to florida with her wife, sylvie reynolds, and pass her beloved store on to her favorite (and only) nephew. she’s an outgoing, bubbly soul still stuck in her hippie days and never planning on growing out of them.

byron ‘ronnie’ parker ( norman reedus ) - single father to gus parker. owns a mechanic shop. has raised gus by himself since he was born after gus’ mom decided she wasn’t ready to have a kid and left. patient and kind but also the strong, silent type - like gus.

renee mckree ( winona ryder ) - biological mother to gus parker and ryder mckree. got pregnant right out of high school. when she told her parents, they threatened to disown her and refused to help her through college. she made the decision to walk away from ronnie and gus, knowing she wasn’t ready to be a mother yet. she kept tabs on the pair of the years and has recently decided that she wants to have a relationship with gus and is adamant about making amends.

mason snyder ( owen teague ) - best friend of ryder mckree. mason and ryder are a classic case of nature vs. nurture. mason grew up in an abusive household and took his anger out on those around him at school. from a young age, he bullied, pushed around and yelled at his peers. it was all he’d ever known. watching mason torment their classmates, ryder knew immediately that he would rather be the bully than the victim to mason’s cruelty. he befriended mason in kindergarten and after seeing firsthand what mason went through at home, ryder and his parents have been like a second family to mason.

note: putting these last few under a cut for various trigger warnings!

lorenzo benoist ( mads mikkelson ) - best friend and brother in law to charlie harris. at fourteen years old, lorenzo found charlie’s father, henrik, dismembering a body in the harris family basement. instead of being scared and running, curiosity overtook lorenzo and forever warped his fragile mind. in henrik’s eyes, lorenzo was the son he deserved. he had tried everything to mold charlie in his own image but it was lorenzo who had finally seen - and accepted - him for who he was. after henrik’s execution, lorenzo took over his mantle and continued to push charlie to become the killer his dad had always wanted him to be.

rose ferguson ( sadie sink ) - late sister of sienna ferguson. doomed from birth by bad genetics. she never let on that she was struggling with her mental health, never asked for help. she was loving, compassionate and wanted to be a nurse to help others - a career path that sienna has since started down in honor of her sister. her death is still fresh in the minds of sienna and clancy.

clancy ferguson ( michael fassbender ) - dad to sienna ferguson. never fully recovered from the death of his wife. to have his youngest daughter leave the world in the same way was devastating to him. contrary to what sienna believes, he does love her - he simply has trouble communicating it and is secretly terrified that she will leave him the same way the others did. she mistakes his withdrawal for detest.

ruby ferguson ( christina hendrix ) - the late mother of sienna ferguson. after a long battle with bipolar depression, ruby lost the fight when sienna was seven and rose was a newborn. she left behind a husband who never moved on and two daughters who both inherited the same mental fragility. while she was alive, she was creative, artistic and passionate - all traits that sienna has also picked up.

What Was I Made For by Billie Eilish is about Kevin Day and you can not change my mind.

“I used to float, now I just fall down.

I used to know, but I’m not sure now.

What was I made for?”

Right after Riko smashed his hand and he couldn’t play the game he was literally born to play.

“Look so alive, turns out I’m not real.

Just something you paid for.”

The press smile? Being owned my the Moriyamas? Any public appearance ever.

“Cause I don’t know how to feel,

But I wanna try.”

Him doing his best to be different with the foxes. Handling them with more care than Riko did with him. Putting their health and well-being first.

“When did it end?

All the enjoyment?

I’m sad again

don’t tell my boyfriend

It’s not what he’s made for

What was I made for?”

The boyfriend being the foxes, and Kevin hiding or simply just ignoring his own feelings and traumas so he doesn’t burden them. So he doesn’t distract them from Exy. So he doesn’t hurt them. Even when he wakes up and feels like throwing up at just the idea of holding a stick, at stepping on the court, at becoming Riko, Kevin loves, will always love, Exy, but it is the source of all of his trauma and that will always make him sad.

“Cause I don't know how to feel

But I wanna try

I don't know how to feel

But someday I might

Someday I might”

Changing his tattoo. Taking Exy back and making it his own. Becoming the Queen rather than Rikos number two. Becoming Kevin Day on his own.

“Think I forgot how to be happy

Something I'm not, but something I can be

Something I wait for

Something I'm made for”

After Riko dies. Making things right with Jean. Watching Neil heal. Not relying on Andrew for everything. Finding a life outside of Exy. Having a relationship with Wymack. Finding himself. Being himself. Getting sober.

Kevin's Day learning how to be happy. One day at a time.

Annie Wersching, best known for playing FBI agent Renee Walker in the TV series 24, has d!ed at the age of 45. Wersching d!ed on Sunday morning, Jan. 29, in Los Angeles following a battle with cancer, her publicist told the Associated Press. Neil Druckmann, who created the video game The Last of Us on which Wersching provided the voice for Tess, wrote on Twitter: "We just lost a beautiful artist and human being. My heart is shattered. Thoughts are with her loved ones." Wersching appeared on dozens of television shows over the course of her two-decade career. Her first credit was in Star Trek: Enterprise, and she would go on to have recurring roles in the seventh and eighth seasons of 24, as well as in Bosch, The Vampire Diaries, Marvel’s Runaways, The Rookie and, most recently, the second season of Star Trek: Picard as the Borg Queen. Wershing was diagnosed with cancer in 2020, according to Deadline, and continued working. She is survived by her husband, actor Stephen Full, and three sons. The actor Abigail Spencer, who appeared with Wersching on the sci-fi series Timeless, tweeted: "We love you Annie Wersching. You will be deeply missed." #hollywood #actress #anniewersching #cancer #mycelebrityandi https://www.instagram.com/p/CoCLFJALlho/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✱ worried texts sent to . . . JEAN MOREAU ( @warnsyou ) from RENEE WALKER

THE SURROUNDING BLACKNESS OF THE DEEP WOOD GIVES MORE WEIGHT TO THE NIGHT WITHIN HER ROOM . when the phone buzzes to life it jolts the goalkeeper awake . typically the device would remain silent into the morning yet she had taken to leaving it on in the urgency of the coming weeks … and there was one particular number that graced her screen often after the hour of midnight . neil had given her this one ━ in an odd turn of shifting responsibility . she and andrew going back and forth on who would be the striker's keeper all while the boy in question had gone and began to gather a flock of his own . THIS ONE IS MINE / MINE TO SET FREE , NOT TO KEEP . she swipes at the call button connecting the line . on the other end she is met with ragged breaths and then the catastrophe of three final words ; “ kengo is dead ” . the static drops off taking with it the vital reassurance of those haggard exhales . the countless redials blur into one long stream of ringing , in an endless loop of dread before the automated voicemail begins again … and again . eventually she starts the process of tapping out a message , steadying her hand just enough to get words right .

2:12 AM [ TEXT TO: JUANITO MOREAU 🖤 ] are you hurt ? did he hurt you ?

the impatience eats at her , springing up from the unfamiliar bed she tosses the sheets aside . it is a brief respite , a beat between the panic and her irrepressible instinct for violent reaction . glancing down she realizes only two minutes have gone by in the ensuing internal terror . sending signals to the air rather than anything solid but she cannot push down the immensity of his warning . IT WAS A DEATH SENTENCE .

2:14 AM [ TEXT TO: JUANITO MOREAU 🖤 ] jean answer me what's going on ? pick up the phone please

this time she does not wait . she is pulling off her nightgown and slipping into day clothes . she has one arm through the sleeve of her sweater as she picks up the conversation once more before descending down into the depths of the cabin . THE MOMENTARY CLUMSINESS GOES OUT OF HER ━ A BLOOD SNIFFING HOUND IN ITS PLACE . the cross around her neck seems to catch and burn in the scarce moonbeams piercing through the passing windows .

2:36 AM [ TEXT TO: JUANITO MOREAU 🖤 ] i'm done playing their game i'm coming to get you keep your phone on i'm going to call you when i'm close

by the grace of god she manages to make it to west virginia while speeding the entire way . somehow avoiding the crying of sirens in her wake . this early , the edgar allen parking lot is a misted over ghost town . when stephanie pulls into the space next to her she finally checks her notifications and finds the home screen absent of any new calls or texts . when her ear presses to the receiver she knows by the fifth chime that there will be no answer . so , she begins her ultimatum ━ the parting communication before she began playing offense with her non-dominant hand ( the fox coming out from her cave of netting at long last )

5:03 AM [ TEXT TO: JUANITO MOREAU 🖤 ] i'm here don't make excuses and don't try to stop me i know you might try to hide but i'll find you i'm getting you out of there you deserve a chance just as much as the rest of us

#i can't believe you forced my hand like this #this is angsty and awful but consider... she calls him juanito as a joke #the way i know this girl has color coded hearts for all her contacts i just KNOW #everyday i cannot forgive nora for not giving us the slightest bit of insight into the context of their phone calls and texts #WE'RE GONNA FIX THAT #not that i would trust what she would write but Still #. ˚ ⋆ ✷ ( 𝚟 . ic / renee walker *#. ˚ ⋆ ✷ ( 𝚒𝚟 . asks / renee walker *#. ˚ ⋆ ✷ ( 𝚟 . warnsyou / jean moreau *#warnsyou
