Neil Josten wearing eyeliner.
Andrew and Aaron trying to trick Neil by switching up on him when he’s not paying attention, Neil always knows so as soon as he sees “Andrew” coming around the corner he tilts his head down slightly to hide as he smiles to himself, when “Andrew” comes up to him, Neil leans in and kisses his cheek before he can react and whispers into his ear, “Hey, Aaron.”….he walks away cackling at Aaron’s expression of horror.
Desperate KevMatt hugs, Kevin instead of going straight to the bottle of vodka he desperately wants, he turns to Matt hugging him so tightly Matt is surprised for a moment before he wraps his arms around Kevin just as tight, holding him together. Kevin’s hands are bunching up the fabric of Matt’s shirt, white knuckled. His face shoved into Matt’s chest, trying to hold back tears. Matt’s head resting lightly against the top of Kevin’s. His one arm is tight around Kevin’s waist, while the other is smoothing up and down his back in a soft calming gesture….
Andrew and Matt have a secret deal with each other, one where when Andrew is panicking and he can’t get it to stop the usual way he goes to Matt, Matt with his warm, strong, all consuming hugs, he completely engulfs Andrew after a quick “yes or no?” and Andrew just melts, like ice cream on a hot summer day, (once Andrew was real desperate and just kept saying “yes, yes yes” until Matt wrapped his arms around him and he let out the most content sigh Matt had ever heard from him) whenever the panic subsides he lets himself sit for only long enough to remember why this is a bad idea, before pushing away and growling out something similar to every other time, “this isn’t going to happen again”, and Matt will just smile at him with his big goofy grin and say “okay Andrew”, and Andrew has to quickly turn away before his blush overtakes his face completely and he does something that they’ll both regret…
Kevin uses a starlight projector and twinkle lights for nighttime so it’s not completely dark, Kevin sitting in sunspots like a cat, laying in the quad in the grass and enjoying the sunshine on his skin, the warmth, Kevin always being squished between two or more people, never alone, codependency etc etc…..
I really want Andrew to have dimples just so he can have cheek studs….Neil loves them, after they heal he gives them kisses ALL THE TIME!
Are there any Klance fics out there where the Black Lion chooses Lance when Shiro disappears?
Little old ladies, animals, and babies love Andrew Minyard and you can’t tell me otherwise.
Neil uses Andrew’s stretch marks (thighs/hips during good days, shoulders on the days when he wants to help but can’t push himself too far) as a sensory grounding technique when he’s stressed and panicked, reminding himself this is real and he’s here. Andrew using Neil’s scars when he needs to remind himself this is Neil, not one of the shadows of his past….Kandriel also works for this as well, Andrew gently tracing the scars on Kevin’s hand and wrist to ground himself, while it calms Kevin down and Neil yammers on about exy stats in the background while softly ghosting his fingers underneath Andrew’s armbands…
Andrew making Kevin lean down so he can give him forehead kissies.
