@anderperrymicrofic | November 19 | scarf

Neil hid behind his scarf, watching the boys play soccer from the side lines.

Well, he was really only watching one boy.

Todd would run with his cheeks flushed from the contrast of the cold weather and the exercise. And every now and then he would come up to Neil’s side for a water break.

Neil watched, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that Todd was watching him back.

Shy glances, awkward smiles.

Maybe some things were more mutual than both boys realized.

sweaters, hats, and ties

@anderperrymicrofic | day 20 | red | 322 words

Todd’s favorite thing was when Neil wore red. From those red sweaters, either his or stolen from Todd, to little red hats that matched the red blush on his face when it was cold out, to the red of the Welton sweatshirts that Neil wore when it was just a little too cold to just wear his normal pajamas, to the ties that he wore when he had to dress nice when he was out of uniform. Red was Neil’s color, it always looked good on him, no matter the context. 

Currently, Neil was in one of Todd’s sweaters, a nice dark red sweater that Todd’s mother made for his older brother that Todd got handed down. Todd had never really liked the sweater, it was Jeff’s first after all, but Neil wearing the sweater made him absolutely love it. It was a bit tight around Neil’s chest, but other than that, it fit absolutely perfect otherwise. Neil was currently reading over lines for his next play, another Shakespere put on by Henley Hall.

“In mine eye she is the sweetest lady that ever I looked on,” Neil read as he waited for Todd to reply. Todd was almost shocked out of his stupor, just looking at Neil.

“I can see yet without spectacles, and I see no such matter. There’s her cousin, an she were not possessed with a fury, exceeds her as much in beauty as the first of May doth the last of December. But I hope you have no intent to turn husband, have you?” Todd replied quickly, reading from the script, trying to keep his head on straight, still staring at Neil in his sweater.

“I would scarce trust myself, though I had sworn the contrary, if Hero would be my wife,” Neil replied before a short laugh left his lips. “You’re so weird when you read Shakespeare, like you just sound so different.”

“So do you!” Todd replied. “You sound like…you were born to do this.”

@anderperrymicrofic | November 18 | trip

Okay, fine.

Maybe going on a roadtrip with Neil, Meeks and Charlie wasn’t the best idea ever.

Todd accepts his mistake.

Charlie was being his usual obnoxiously loud self, but somehow he managed to know every song on the radio, so he sang the lyrics excitedly, sometimes even dramatically acting them out.

Meeks, on the other hand, was calmer. As the driver, he took the responsibility of not only paying attention to the road, but also making sure Charlie doesn’t get too excited and ends up causing an accident.

Neil was different though.

Him and Todd were both on the backseat, looking out their windows, watching the suburbs turn into mountains, turn into the sea.

Todd would sometimes look at Neil, only to find the other boy already staring at him.

And whenever a song they both knew would come up Neil always excitedly gasped and they sang together, joining their voices with Charlie’s. Sometimes even Meeks’.

So the time passed, with small chatter here and there, the view outside the window passing by and always changing itself.

But the meaningful glances and shy smiles stayed inside, right in those back seats, only for the two boys to share.
