Comprehensive list of who I think the Foxes have as their emergency contacts and why because I can't stop thinking about it:

Dan & Matt: They both follow the typical spouse then parents order and have each other as their number one, then Wymack and Randy respectively, and the same but switched around in the next spot, then Abby. Numbers two and three differ only because if something happened to them they'd each want their respective parent there but if something were to happen to the both of them they would want both Wymack and Randy there, Wymack for them and Randy for the kids.

Kevin: Wymack, Andrew, and Neil, in that order. He's praying to god that it never gets to the point in which Neil has to be called because he actually has fairly little faith in Neil's decision-making abilities, particularly in a medical context but one time someone asked him for a third person and he panicked and wrote down Neil, he has yet to consider that if Andrew is brought in for something it is likely that he will bring Neil with him anyway. He briefly considered putting Jean but he doesn't have full confidence in their relationship and he doesn't want to overwhelm Jean or make him uncomfortable.

Allison: Wymack, Renee, and Abby. Wymack and Abby are both there for their parental-type role since she still doesn't get along with her own parents but she put Renee in the middle because she has full confidence that Renee would not only show up but be fully capable of making an informed and level-headed decision if the need arises and after all the years I believe they remain quite close even after college.

Renee: I know she gets married to some guy in the extra content but frankly, I've never really liked that part of her story so I'm choosing to ignore it which means her list is stacked heavy with parental figures specifically Stephanie, Wymack, and Abby in that order.

Nicky: Erik, naturally, then Erik's grandmother because he wanted someone else close by and that's who was number two on Erik's list, plus he loves the woman and she adores them both back, then Andrew & Aaron. Originally, when he moves back to Germany Aaron is above Andrew on the list because Andrew travels a lot due to his pro contract and trips to visit Kevin and Neil so Aaron is simply easier to find and contact, but once Aaron has children he switches them around because he wants Aaron to focus on his family instead of ever worrying about him. While he was in college the list was Erik, Wymack, and his mother because he believed the twins to be too young and he didn't want them having to make any sort of calls for him.

Aaron: Katelyn, Andrew, Abby, and Nicky. If he wasn't in Germany, Nicky would be number two and everyone else would be bumped down one place. With Nicky out of the country, the first person he would want around to be with his wife/children in his absence is his brother (with the grudging knowledge that Neil will likely tag along with Andrew) but he spent a lot of time with Abby throughout college and he would trust that woman with his life, particularly in a medical scenario. He is also well aware that if someone were to call in Abby, Wymack would not be far behind her so it's basically like calling Wymack anyway.

Andrew: He puts Neil down as number one even though, like Kevin, he has little faith in Neil's medical decision-making, however, he has full faith that Neil would do the literal most for him to be comfortable and keep a watchful eye on anyone and everyone around Andrew when he's unable to. The next space belongs to Aaron who is entirely unaware he is on the list in the first place, and if he is forced to find out he will raise absolute hell. Then Bee because he knows she will do right by him, and finally Renee because they're best friends. He doesn't put Wymack on the list because he knows that if something does happen the first person Neil, or whoever is there, will call is Wymack and he will drop everything to be there (even if his purpose is simply to provide emotional support to whoever is with him) and that's enough for him.

Neil: Despite being the most accident-prone member of the group, a known criminal magnet, and by far the most requiring of a full five-person emergency contact list, he only has two and those are Andrew and Wymack. If pressed he would eventually add Matt because they're best friends or exclusively to be a little bitch and because he thinks it would be incredibly funny if the call ever had to be made, Agent Browning.

Bonus: Wymack, Abby, and Betsy, all have each other on their lists among occasional distant family members. Wymack also has Kevin on his because that's his son and he loves him dearly.

Sorry but I just randomly started thinking about how many of the Foxes have Wymack as an emergency contact into their late adulthood. He might not be the first one because most of them have their spouses as their first emergency contact but for most of them spot two or three is reserved for David Wymack because they know that if anything ever happens he will be there for them no questions asked and they trust him to make important decisions when they’re unable

#I'm so psychotic about them in case you didn't know #also this is also your reminder to update your emergency contact lists and list a minimum of 2 people but 3-5 is best #(I say this but I actually couldn't tell you who's on mine past the first spot being my mother so I should maybe check that)#all for the game #aftg #dan wilds #matt boyd #kevin day #allison reynolds #renee walker #nicky hemmick #aaron minyard #andrew minyard #neil josten #david wymack #abby winfield #betsy johnson

- andrew's first consensual kiss happened when he was in juvie

- neil prefers fruits over vegetables !

- andrew likes eating things that can be eaten in small bites

- andrew went by 'aj' while living with cass

- the original andrew had a brain disorder that meant he could only remember things short-term

- renee first found out about andrew's attraction to neil, but kevin figured out neil's attraction and andreil's mutual interest

- nora believes that if andrew had named the cats, they would answer to "cat 1/ cat 2" and " stupid"

- nicky chose the name 'sir fat cat mccatterson' for one of neil and andrew's cats

- nora said that andrew forgot how to scream when he was a child

- in a previous draft, when nicky found out that neil and andrew hadn't slept together yet, he made them a how-to guide

- if andrew ever were to smile genuinely, it would only ever be in front of neil

- if ichiro ever killed andrew, neil josten would cease to exist and nathaniel wesninski would return

- if neil ended up dying under nathan's hand, especially if he hadn't gotten andrew to retract his protection promise, andrew would never let anyone in ever again

- he would be joyless, from neil's death to andrew's own and would spend his life watching out for kevin, but only because of the promises he made

- in the hypothetical that neil would die, jean would also return to the ravens after his injuries healed

- dan, riko, and neil are the only people who have stayed throughout all of the aftg drafts with the same names that they started with

- nora has a personal headcanon that andrew and neil learn russian to have their own private language that the cousins don't kno

- "When Nicky picked up pints for everyone, he got Andrew whichever one looked like it had the highest sugar content, cookie dough for himself, mint chocolate chip for Aaron, vanilla bean for Kevin, and espresso for Neil. I can see Neil liking vanilla too because Neil likes boring plain things." - nora about the cousin's favorite ice cream

- dan and kevin were originally going to be bffs !!

- andrew would refuse to kiss beneath mistletoe

- the raven are even more gross than i previously thought and it turns out they often sleep with each other

- like. do the dirty

- it's gross

- foxes favorite music genres:

- nicky likes EDM(electric dance music), renee enjoys epic orchestral pieces, matt likes loud rock, seth likes NIN & Disturbed(whatever that is), allison and dan enjoy pop, though dan also likes nickelback, kevin likes classical, and andrew likes music that's too loud to think

- nora doesn't know what aaron and neil's would be

- "If I tried to list everything Riko did to Jean over the years, I’d never get to sleep tonight, so we’ll have to settle for some random examples. Here are a few numbers for you:

- Six: the number of fingers Jean’s had broken over the years. Three: the number he was ordered to break himself for Riko’s amusement. Zero: the number of days he was allowed to miss practice for these injuries.

- Four: the number of times Riko pushed Jean down a flight of stairs in Evermore. Two: the number of times Jean didn’t ball up fast enough and bashed his head open on the concrete.

- Two hundred and sixty-six: the total number of stitches Jean needed while under Riko’s supervision, not including the ones he received after Kengo’s death.

- Ten: the number of times Riko tried waterboarding Jean. Once to see if it was as effective and traumatizing as the news made it out to be. Nine more times because it really, really was.

- Sixteen: the age Jean was when Riko first ordered another Raven to fuck him. ((Riko will not engage in anything homosexual himself, but he is not above inflicting sexual trauma on others via others. See: Drake. See: Proust.))

- Five: the number of times Riko passed Jean around. “Only” five, because four: the number of times Jean whispered Please don’t do this to me; four: the number of times Riko hit him for insubordination and ignored that haunted look in Jean’s eyes. The fifth time Jean didn’t break his own heart by fighting back. The fifth time he let the other Raven into his bed without a word or token protest, and that was boring as fuck, so Riko didn’t orchestrate a sixth demonstration.

- One: the number of drafts in which Jean does not commit suicide.

- If Renee hadn’t stolen Jean from the Ravens & Neil hadn’t bought his safety: one hundred: the chance Jean would commit suicide graduation night." - nora about the abuse jean went through under riko's hand

Andrew Showing The Foxes His Love Through Actions.

All through “All for the game” we can see how Andrew shows his love through actions. I believe that Andrew does care for his teammates and I know I; m not the only one, so I wrote this. (Also, I will just forget about the choking scene because N*ra did their relationship so badly, like- ugh, that’s for another time)

Tw: Curse words, references to the foxes pasts, punches, vomit, Riko, mentions of scars, mentions of nightmares, mentions of panic attacks, mentions of past self-harm, probably many spelling and grammar mistakes.

Allison.

It happened during a game, the foxes were winning and the other team were getting exasperated because they could not get past the backliners and if they could, Andrew would not let them score.

During the last minutes of the game, a player from the other team made Allison trip on purpose and “accidentally” kicked her.

Everyone else were too far away from them.

Except Andrew.

When the referee called the fault, Andrew was already there, punching the guy resulting in him taking a step back and falling to the ground.

As the referee gave him a yellow card, Andrew extended his arm to help Allison up.

And if he asked Renee how bad the injury was, no one had to know.

Matt.

When Matt was visiting his mom during summer vacations, they decided to go shopping, there he found the most adorable hoodies. It was orange on the outside and the inside had a really soft and warm fabric, which was white and had orange paw prints. But the best part was that the hoodie had fox ears.

Matt obviously bought nine of them.

“Disgusting.” Andrew had said, which Matt had obviously expected, so he thought nothing of it.

Everyone wore them, Aaron had given his to Katelyn, except Andrew.

But when winter came, Matt saw Andrew get out of his dorm room with the hoodie on, pulling it tighter against himself when a cold air blast came.

“Not a word.” Andrew deadpanned, pointing at Matt, when he noticed him, before leaving the tower.

Matt smiled the whole day.

Dan.

During one of their dinner bankets, the foxes were placed into pairs and told to socialize with the other teams. The pairs were meticulously design so that ‘the monsters’ (minus Nicky) interacted. This meant every ‘monster’ was placed with an upperclassmen. Andrew got Dan.

So when they Dan were talking to some players from Penn State, the Ravens decided to join.

They began talking sh¡t about Dan’s time as a stripper.

Andrew didn’t say or do a thing, knowing Dan was capable on fighting her own fights, she is the first female captain on Exy, but he does stand to the side, throwing a death glare to them.

But when one of them decide it’s a good idea to slap her in the butt when she is distracted....Andrew intervienes.

He grabs the Raven’s wrist, twisting it before pushing him into a table.

Dan is surprised, to say the least, but she knows that the Raven will get a worst fate if she leaves Andrew like that.

Calmly, she tells him she is okay and that the Raven didn’t touch her and that he can look and see for himself.

The latter does the trick, Andrew turns his murderous glare at Dan so she turns in place extending her arms showing him that the Raven did nothing to her.

Andrew calms after a while and stands up, glancing at the Raven one more time.

The rest of the night Andrew does not leave Dan’s side until they head back home. Dan attaches herself to that memory forever.

Renee.

Renee and Andrew sparred at least once a week, more whenever Andrew was having a bad day.

Such as that moment, Aaron’s trial was just around the corner and Andrew was not having it.

He went to Bee’s twice but it still wasn’t enough, so him and Renee spared.

But today was a specially not good day, Aaron’s lawyer had said that he’d have to speak about what happened that day.

Renee knew that Andrew was far more on his head than n the present so she wasn’t mad when Andrew threw her down to the mat and her hip bumped onto the floor.

For the first time since they spared that day, Renee saw Andrew actually see her.

His eyes were wide, probably surprised of what happened so she reassured him that she was okay and that it didn't hurt much and that she’d had much worse before.

But he didn’t listen to her and got off the mat.

Renee stood up and went for her water bottle, thinking that Andrew had gone to let out some steam alone.

But then he came back with an ice package in hand and gave it to her.

Renee thank him, placed it on her hip and sat near him while he starred to the distance in moral support.

Nicky.

Nicky wasn’t one to get sick often, but when it happened, he really got sick.

So when one day he wakes up with a headache and all of his bones ache, he knows he’s in trouble.

Not wanting anyone to be worried about him, Nicky tries to stand up, just for a blast of nausea hits him and he has to run to the bathroom before he pukes on their bedroom.

When he is done throwing his guts out, he brushes his teeth and walks out to the kitchen for a glass of water. But when he gets there, a water bottle is out with a bottle of Pepto-bismol beside it.

In the middle of his confusion, Andrew and Aaron appear with a thermometer, a blanket and pills.

“Go lay down,” Andrew says with an uncharacteristically softness in his tone.

Nicky complies and walks towards the couch, Andrew protectively trailing behind him with his phone and a blanket.

“I don’t have any class today, Aaron has two in an hour but then he’ll be back. Tea?” Nicky is perplexed at this attention given by his cousins so he is only able to nod and think who were these people and what did they do with his cousins.

The rest of the day, the twins (mostly Andrew) take his temperature, give him his meds, cook for him and help him out whenever he needs it.

Nicky sleeps with a smile that day.

The next day, he feels much better, but because the sickness messed with his feelings, he has an urge to hug his cousins.

He asks for permission and surprisingly, Andrew says yes.

Nicky keeps the hug fast and makes sure he doesn’t make Andrew feel trapped.

He still cries at the memory.

Aaron.

Out of all the foxes, Aaron is the one with the most difficult things to study. He is in fact studying pre-med.

So during the finals week, he is the most stressed.

There is this one class in which Aaron has been having the most trouble with and if he doesn’t pass the test, he’ll have to repeat the class. So to say that he was stressed was an understatement.

He begins studying for that class a week and a half before the exam is and the day before the exam, he skips gym, morning practice and afternoon practice.

He studies for the exam the whole day and had to be reminded to take breaks for the bathroom and meals constantly.

He is also forced by Andrew to sleep when he woke up at 3 am and Aaron was still awake, studying.

Aaron keeps thinking of the material as he tries to sleep, and isn’t able to until 4 am, he dreams on the material the whole night.

When he opens his eyes, he sees that the sun is much higher than usual, worried, he checks the time on his phone just for his fears to be true, his alarm didn’t sound and he slept through the whole exam.

He doesn’t even care to change and runs to the building. The door to his classroom is closed and the professor is not there.

“Can’t stop thinking about the exam? Me neither.” He hears one of his classmates say behind him.

“I didn’t even do it.” He says through his teeth.

“What do you mean? I saw you there.”

Aaron is confused so he asks more classmates if they saw him, and all of them said that yes, they saw him there.

Hurriedly he got to the tower and confronted Andrew if it was his doing and if he did the exam for him like they did in high school.

“I did.” was Andrew’s only response before walking out.

Aaron got a B⁺ a grade much better than if he had done it by himself.

Kevin.

After Riko died, his and Andrew’s deal could be done, but they had grown close, they had passed so much time together since Kevin escaped Evermore.

Neither of them would say it out loud, but they were each other’s best friend.

So when Kevin learned that his things would be thrown away from the Nest, he went into a spiral.

But when Andrew asked and Kevin couldn’t say why, Andrew made it his mission to know.

Neil had a few assumptions, but when he had been at the Nest, he had been too focused on his injuries that he wasn’t a good resource.

So Andrew contacted someone he never thought he would be speaking to. Jean.

Jean told Andrew of Kevin’s old bedroom and the things Kevin had to hide away from Riko because if he found them, Kevin would be punished. Yet he didn’t know what these secret things were.

Thankfully, Jean knew where the hiding spot was.

The next day, Andrew took the Maserati in the early morning without a word (Neil knew but he had to act as if he didn’t), and made his way to Evermore.

Once there, he had to sneak inside, but given that the Nest was desolated for classes it was easy.

When Andrew got to where Jean had told him where the hiding spot was, he found a small shoe box.

Opening it, he found three things and Andrew immediately understood Kevin’s spiraling.

When he got back to the tower, he directly went to his dorm. Inside were Neil, Nicky and Kevin watching a game.

Andrew signaled Neil and the latter made Nicky follow him out.

“Where were you? You missed morning practice,” Kevin said as soon as they were alone.

Without a word, Andrew took the shoebox out of his bag and carefully gave it to Kevin, who took a shaky breath at the sight of it.

As soon as it was in Kevin’s hands, he opened it and carefully took the three things which were the last things he had from his mother.

A woman’s ring, a record player and a photograph.

Tears immediately sprang from Kevin’s eyes and Andrew decided he would give Kevin his space.

“Thank you,” Kevin said as he opened the door, Andrew just nodded feeling a weird warmness in his chest.

Neil.

Andrew shows Neil his love in so many ways, helping him out during panic attacks, reminding him that he’s safe, holding his hand, kissing him, sharing a cigarette in the roof, stroking his hair when they cuddle and so much more.

But the most important thing Andrew does for Neil is letting the latter see his vulnerability and trust him with it.

It starts with simple things, Andrew letting Neil sleep with him in the same bed, cuddle together, sit on Andrew’s lap (and vice versa), etc.

But it slowly begins to increase, let Neil stay whenever he gets a nightmare and/or a panic attack, let Neil take care of him when he gets sick, let Neil cuddle on top of Andrew, let himself seek comfort in Neil, Andrew letting Neil take his armbands off, see and touch them.

It takes a long time, but Neil doesn’t mind, those little things are more than enough for him and he doesn’t expect more from Andrew, but welcomes this little things and holds onto them with all of him.

Bonus:

Wymack.

Wymack is always threatening his foxes with running marathons and says that their personal stuff is over his pay rate, but oh doesn’t he care for them.

He works hard for them so they can have good things and safe and comfortable area for them, that’s why he had the walls on the showers made.

He loves the foxes, and they love them too.

One morning, he had to organize some piles of paperwork, but he had a stressing week and the night before he hadn’t been able to sleep good, so after a while of organizing paperwork, he decides he deserves a break.

The foxes are supposed to be in class so he doesn’t expect them until the afternoon. He goes to the lounge and lays down on the couch to “rest his eyes”.

He falls asleep almost instantly.

Andrew had forgotten something on the court after their morning practice so he decided to go now, he had finished his classes and knew that Wymack had to organize some paperwork, he was surprised to see the old man asleep.

Andrew could remember his initial fear of the man when he saw him the first time, he was tall, broad and serious, but he didn’t let it show. He had been waiting for the man to do something to him, but instead the man had respected his boundaries and didn’t ask when Andrew broke into his home in the late night and made himself a pot of hot cocoa (which had been bought for this reason).

So quietly, Andrew went to Wymack’s office and organized his paperwork, marking those who were missing one or two things with a post it and leaving right after he was done, not expecting the man to know it was him.

When Wymack woke up and walked back to his office he was surprised to see that his paperwork was organized. He mentally questioned who it was but when he read the post its he immediately knew it was Andrew, he knew all of his children’s handwritings, and made sure he bought Andrew’s favorite chocolate ice cream.

Abby.

Abby was the first one, apart from Bee, to see his scars.

The first time she had tried to say something but she had seen something in his face because he didn’t and let him place the armbands back on.

After that she looked away when he took them off and just glanced at them for a second to make sure there were no track marks before turning around again so he could put the armbands back on.

(She knew there would not be track marks, so she just looked at them so there would be no new ones, he cared for her foxes.)

And during the physical exam, she made sure not to touch him more than necessary.

Abby checks on Bee asking if he’s okay, she never expects an in depth answer, just a confirmation and she feels relief when Bee tells her that he is getting better.

On one of his sessions with Bee, she suggests Andrew that he should tell someone about his scars, preferably someone who has already seen them.

Andrew knows what Bee is trying and Bee knows that Andrew knows and Andrew knows Bee knows that Andrew knows.

In the end, he does tell Abby. He keeps it vague and watches her reaction, waiting for a small expression change, but thankfully Abby just listens, and shows no pity, knowing that Andrew would hate it and does not comment.

When he’s done, she just nods and thanks him for telling her and when Andrew leaves, Abby lets the tears she had retained out.

She keeps the truth guarded with her life, glad Andrew trust her enough to say this.

Bee.

It is not a secret that Andrew sees Bee like his mother figure, out of all the woman in his life she was the only one that he didn’t feel the need to be unlike himself, she loved him just the way he was.

It was scary at first, his mind supplied that it would be just like Cass, he just had to wait for the other shoe to come down.

It never did.

So he found himself driving to her office when he needed to understand something or he was just not in a good mental place.

He would also call her when he didn’t have the energy to move.

She was on one of his sides during Aarons trial, helping him keep his cool when he felt like he needed to punch something.

When it had been his turn to say his testimony, he had looked at her and Neil, remembering that they would be with him and that they would show no pity to him.

So the day before Mother’s day, when him and Neil were shopping for clothes, and he saw a coffee mug in the shape of a bee hive that read “To the Bee-st mom” he had to buy it.

The next day he arrives to her office and leaves the cup before leaving without a word.

It fills Bee’s heart when she reads it but knows best than to comment of it on their next session.

But if she uses it everyday and it becomes her favorite mug, no one has to know.

Look at me posting three days in a row, I’m proud of myself ngl. Anyways, have this, hope you like it, I tried my best and this is honestly the longest “headcanon” I’ve ever written.

First off OOPS SORRY MY ASKS WERE CLOSED I DIDNT REALIZE!!

Second I’m responding with my main aftg blog as I want to keep norasakavictweets as just tweets as much as I can

And now HERE WE GO! YOU ASKED FOR THIS *shaking with excitement*

Here is my thoughts on what the foxes would listen to

(to preface this I’m going to use current songs BUT if interested I do have thoughts on song from before 2007 only)

Andrew: gives me strong alt vibes for sure but to be more specific I think Midwest emo bands like The front bottoms and McCaferty fit the vibe pretty well. He canonically listens to lyrics more than sound and Midwest emo is known for not always sounding the best but having hard hitting lyrics.

Top 3 songs:

Father by The front bottoms

No below by Speedy Ortiz

No children by the mountain goats

Neil: this boy listens to nothing, like he was on the run yall, but I honestly think if he was going to put on music for himself it would probably just be classical. That being said I think the foxes would rub off on him and he would start listening to songs they played a lot just because it reminds him of them.

Top 3 song (not necessarily that he would listen to but that go with his character well):

Escape route by Paramore (literally the most Neil josten song of all time)

Why am I the one by Fun.

Be nice to me by The front bottoms

Kevin: it’s boring but Kevin is also just a classical girlie (as confirmed by Ms. Nora) but again here are 3 songs that lyrically radiate Kevin day energy

Top 3 songs:

love club by lorde

I don’t like my mind by mitski

Are you satisfied by marina and the diamonds

Aaron: rap fan. I can definitely see him listening to Kendrick Lamar and Mac miller (*cough* he would be an Eminem fan sorryyyyyi hate it too but it’s true)

Top 3 songs:

The spins by Mac Miller & Empire of the sun

Money trees by Kendrick Lamar

The real slime shady by Eminem

Matt: very similar music taste to Aaron tbh but I think he would really like Tyler the creator and Childish Gambino (Kendrick and Mac Miller)

Top 3 songs:

See you again by Tyler the creator

super rich kids by frank ocean

Sober by Childish Gambino

Nicky: he’s a top hits girlie, loves Gaga and anything extremely upbeat you can dance to

Top 3 songs:

Judas by Lady Gaga

Born this way by Lady Gaga

LBGT by cupccake

Dan: 90/00s soul and R&B mostly, lots of Aaliyah and I think she would also love Megan the stallion but I see her listening to a couple bands like No doubt too, badass women lead alt bands, there is definitely an edge to her music taste

Top 3 songs:

Just a girl by No doubt

Try again by Aaliyah

Big girls don’t cry by Fergie

Allison: also a top hits girlie but I feel like she had an “emo” phase at some point to scare her parents but she actually genuinely liked a lot of the music

don’t have a top 3 for her yet tbh :( sorryyyy but unforgivable curse #3 by McCafferty is definitely a good song for her and Seth’s relationship

Renee: I love her VERY VERY much but tbh I haven’t been able to think of specifics… she definitely listened to different music growing up but I have a hard time deciding if she would still listen to any of it now… and if not… then what does she like????

Top 3 Renee vibe songs tho:

Angle of small death and the codeine scene by hozier

I bet on losing dogs by mitski

Simulation swarm by Big thief

Jean: nest boy probably didn’t have time to listen to much music but I’m tempted to say classical as well

Annnyways 3 Jean coded songs:

The deal by mitski (makes me cry thinking about him and this song)

Crack baby by mitski

Please please please let me get what I want by deaftones (yes the cover)

There ya go!!! This took me a little longer than I would like to admit but I needed to make it perfect… please excuse all the typos I’m sure are everywhere

#Oop #here ya go #I have so many playlists for this goddamn book #had a hard time narrowing it down #and not over explaining

Imagine the foxes playing two truths and a lie...

The upperclassmen start playing it as a drinking game one night and Neil is intrigued. Andrew is also intrigued but doesn’t show it and refuses to play.

They are all already pretty tipsy, with Kevin, Matt, Nicky, and Aaron pretty much drunk.

Allison goes first, she has an amazing poker face and calmly says all three statements with no facial twitches or vocal cues. “my first car was a Toyota Camry (truth), my prom dress cost over $10k (lie), and I once made out with Miley Cyrus (truth)”

Renee, Neil, and Aaron guess right, Matt, Dan, Kevin, and Nicky have to drink.

Then it’s Matt’s turn and he is terrible, he starts snickering before he opens his mouth. “I’ve swam with sharks (truth)” he says, but he cannot control his face and it keeps contorting as he tries to maintain a neutral expression. He takes a deep breath to try and control his giggles, “my favorite flower is sunflowers (truth)” then he can’t hold it in anymore and starts hysterically laughing and chokes out, “My favorite city in the world is Newark, NJ (lie)”

Everyone gets it right and Matt has to drink.

Dan is next, she goes for the “one of these is so out there and crazy it can’t be a lie...or is it?” method.

((It is.))

“I’ve never shot a gun (truth), as a kid my favorite food was celery with ranch dressing (truth), and when I was 18 I won the lottery but the ticket was ruined and I couldn’t claim the money (lie)”

Aaron jumps in with “Obviously you never won the lottery, how would you even know if the ticket was destroyed”

Dan has her story ready. “When I first turned 18, I played the same numbers every week. It went on for a few months when my numbers were picked, but by that point playing was more of a habit than anything else and I wasn’t too careful with my tickets. I searched for it everywhere and found that I left it in my jeans pocket when I did my laundry.”

Allison asks what the numbers were, and Dan answers with no hesitation, which makes Allison tilt her head and stare into Dan’s eyes. Dan looks back without guile, totally relaxed.

Nicky is looking at her with his eyes wide and mouth slightly open and asks how much money she would have won

When Dan answers $53 million dollars Nicky gasps and Matt groans.

Neil, Renee, and Allison get it right, but everyone else falls for it.

When its Nicky turn he forgets to say a lie.

He is sitting there trying to come up with something for what feels like forever while every goads him for taking so long.

Finally, after waiting 5 minutes, Kevin says “I’m going because Nicky obviously can’t come up with anything” and Nicky jumps across Kevins lap and goes “No no no no no, I’ve got it!”

Without moving off Kevin he says “I’m allergic to shellfish, I died my hair green once, and I’ve read all the twilight books three times“ He moves back to his spot looking pleased with himself.

Everyone starts discussing theories until Andrew says in his bored, flat voice, “Nicky, those are all true”

Nicky starts to protest, thinks for a second, then just says “Fuck!” and takes a shot.

Kevin rolls his eyes so hard that his entire head rotates then says, while slightly slurring, “Okay, my turn! I’ve played a game of pick up basketball once (lie), I know all the lyrics to We Didn’t Start the Fire (truth), and I’ve traveled to over a dozen countries (truth).”

Matt starts hysterically laughing again, “You know all the lyrics to We Didn’t Start the Fire! oh my god Kevin you are such a nerd!” everyone else starts laughing at Kevin too.

“Maybe I do, maybe it’s the lie!”

“Everyone knows you’ve never played a sport besides Exy in your life Kevin” Dan says, “Will you sing it for us? Please, please, please!”

Allison, Nicky, and Matt join Dan in asking Kevin to sing. Renee even says, “It would be lovely to hear you sing it Kevin” to which Kevin blushes a little and answers, “Maybe later” and then takes his shot.

Aaron is drunk enough at this point to spill some truths he otherwise never would, and will wish for the rest of his life that he never had.

“When I was little, I wanted to be a figure skater when I grew up.(truth)”

Everyone goes completely silent and stares at him unsure whether to laugh or not but he doesn’t realize and continues

“The first time I got high I thought the squirrels in the tree wanted to adopt me as their squirrel king (truth), and I hate Taylor Swift (lie)”

No one says anything at first, and just when Aaron starts to realize something is up, Nicky says “Nah man, you LOVE T. Swift, you can’t deny it!”

They collectively make a silent agreement to ignore this new information about Aaron until he sobers up a bit and can either defend himself, or will be more fun to tease.

In the end, everyone but Renee guesses right, but she guessed wrong on purpose because she didn’t think that Aaron should be having any more to drink.

When it’s Renee’s turn, she smiles sweetly and says, ”I can juggle up to 7 balls (truth), I have never drank diet soda (lie), and I once had a pet turtle named Vincent (truth).”

No one is confident about which is the lie and it is the longest the foxes debate after anyones turn. It doesn’t help that Renee refuses to answer questions, and whenever someone tries to ask her anything she just smiles and shrugs.

It comes out to Neil and Aaron getting it right, while everyone else has to drink.

“How the fuck has it never come up that you’re a master juggler?” Allison asks angrily

“It wouldn’t be appropriate to do it at practice, and we’re not really around balls much otherwise.”

Everyone asks for a demonstration, “I will juggle later if Kevin will sing.”

Everyone looks at Kevin who sighs but says “Okay, fine!”

They all cheer then wait eagerly for Neil to go.

Neil sits quietly for a little while, not as long as Nicky, but long enough that Aaron says, “Come on this should be easy for you! You lied to us all for a year, what’s the problem, the truth?”

Neil shoots him a dirty look but doesn’t respond for a few more seconds then says,

“My mom and I once helped deliver a baby at a truck stop in Alberta, I’ve been bitten by a camel, and I can speak 7 languages”

Everyone just stares at him.

“Two of those things are true?” Matt finally asks

“Yeah.” Neil says, shrugging. Everyone is silent again.

Nicky turns to Andrew for help, but he refuses to say anything. His eyes are bright with interest though and he looks at Neil for a long time. Internally, he thinks the one about helping birth a baby has something off about it.

After much debate, Allison, Kevin, and Matt guess the baby, Renee, Dan, and Aaron guess the camel, and Nicky says the languages, “No one can know SEVEN languages!! I won’t believe it!”

They all turn to Neil expectantly and he says, “It was the first one, we were just outside Vancouver, in British Columbia, not Alberta.”

“But you, Neil Josten, have helped deliver a baby?” Allison asks incredulously.

“Technically I wasn’t Neil Josten yet…”

Everyone groans. Everyone takes a shot.

Cut to 15 minutes later, Renee is juggling an exy ball, some apples, and Matt’s phone while Kevin sings. Nicky tries to sing along with Kevin but definitely doesn’t know the right words, Aaron is watching Renee wide eyed, Dan and Matt are playing air guitar behind Kevin, and Allison is looking for more things for Renee to juggle. Neil and Andrew sit quietly on a desk holding cigarettes, observing their idiot friends.

Stories Behind the Truths and Lies

Allison

My first car was a Toyota Camry (truth) - Allison’s parents wanted her to learn how to drive in a safe car that wouldn’t draw a lot of attention, so they got her a Camry. She only drove it for 3 weeks before demanding an upgrade.

My prom dress cost over $10k (lie) - This was almost true. She had ordered a custom Zac Posen dress but before it was finalized she made her decision to go to PSU and play Exy, and her mother canceled the order. She ended up wearing something she found in a vintage store that she altered herself. She ended up enjoying it a lot, which led to her decision to study fashion. (In my hc she played professional Exy for 3? seasons but was injured and then started her fashion line.)

I once made out with Miley Cyrus (truth) - While out clubbing one night she met Miley through mutual friends, they were attracted to each other, they made out. Miley asked for her number but Allison wasn’t looking for anything more than a hook up.

Matt

I’ve swam with sharks (truth) - He did this with his mom on a vacation and they both loved it. They also have a tradition where they watch at least one night of shark week together, or at least call each other to talk while they are both watching.

My favorite flower is sunflowers (truth) - No story lol I just think he would like sunflowers.

My favorite city in the world is Newark, NJ (lie) - I love thinking about New Yorker Matt. Raised on the Upper East Side, dad a top plastic surgeon, mom a public figure? Child grew up surrounded by serious privilege. HC that in fifth grade he made friends with a boy who was on scholarship at his school. Let’s call him… Metin. He lived in Queens? He took the subway? Matt goes to his house one day and it is 1/8th the size of his apartment and there are 9 people living there; Metin’s parents, two grandparents, his uncle, his two sisters, and his cousin. They all speak Turkish in the house and it’s loud and crowded but so full of life and love and Matt loves it. He and Metin grew apart when Matt started using, but before that they were best friends for years and explored the city together, Matt learning about and experiencing so much culture that for the first 9 years of his life he didn’t know existed. When Nicky wanted to go to Times Square for New Years Matt knew he had to be a good host and take them but inside he was DYING. I’m getting off track. No New Yorker could ever like Newark. I’m not convinced anybody could like Newark. It is indeed, very laughable.

Dan

I’ve never shot a gun (truth) - Dan hates guns and refuses to shoot one.

As a kid my favorite food was celery with ranch dressing (truth) - Idk I just thought this was cute. And also thinking about young Dan who didn’t have a lot of access to healthy foods getting celery sticks and ranch with her free school lunch and getting SO excited. Trading her cookie to a classmate for their celery.

When I was 18 I won the lottery but the ticket was ruined and I couldn’t claim the money (lie) - I like to think this is part true. After Dan turned 18 but before she was recruited for the Foxes, she played lotto a lot, always with the same numbers that she got from a fortune cookie that said, “Failure is not defeat until you stop trying.” She stopped playing once she signed with Wymack.

Nicky (all truths)

I’m allergic to shellfish - Mostly I love that Andrew knew all these things about Nicky, especially his allergy because he’s always looking out to make sure Nicky doesn’t eat something he can’t.

I died my hair green once - At first, when he took custody of the twins and started showing up for them at school at stuff, he hated the looks he got. He was a 19 year old kid who was supposed to be their guardian? Not to mention the way people eyed his skin and hair when he said he was family. One day he decided to dye his hair blond and he asked Andrew and Aaron to help, to try to bond. Aaron wanted nothing to do with it, but surprisingly, Andrew seem enthusiastic about the idea. He bought the dye and did everything for Nicky in the kitchen. When he was finally done roughly washing the dye out of Nicky’s hair, Nicky went to the bathroom to see how he looked and saw that Andrew had died his hair green. He wasn’t sure if he wanted to laugh at the prank or cry because he foolishly thought he might be getting through to Andrew. When he went back to the kitchen, he tried to laugh it off and said maybe he should go to a salon to get the color right. Andrew told him he was stupid to try and change how he looked just because people were dumb enough to think that families needed to look alike. Besides, they weren’t a family anyway. “Family” is a toxic excuse for things people put up with, a reason we accept the tragedies and inconveniences forced upon us. (Nora’s words) Nicky was upset, and dyed his hair back to his natural color once the roots started growing in, but he reaffirmed his commitment in that moment that he would show the twins what Erik had shown him, what a family could really be.

I’ve read all the twilight books three times - Nicky was a huge fan of twilight, even going to the midnight release party for the last book. He was disappointed in the movie adaptations but loved the casting and watched for the eye candy. He is loving the twilight renaissance especially the twilight is gay discourse.

Kevin

I’ve played a game of pick up basketball once (lie) - Kevin has never played a game of basketball, or soccer, or tennis, or baseball, or any other sport for that matter and can not understand why anyone would want to.

I know all the lyrics to We Didn’t Start the Fire (truth) - Kayleigh Day was a big music fan, she loved everything from classical to country, but one of her favorite artists was Billy Joel. After she died and Kevin moved into Evermore, he almost forgot about her music because the music at the Nest was all chosen for pragmatic reasons, like its BPM and ability to pump the players up. One day, when Kevin was around 15 years old, a rebellious Raven played his own music while training in the weight room. He and his partner were the only ones in there until Riko and Kevin showed up, and they turned it off as soon as they realized they had come in, but Kevin heard some of “Only the Good Die Young” and for the first time in a long time had a vivid memory of his mother. He asked the boys what had been playing, and Riko scoffed at the name Billy Joel. That night while Riko was sleeping, Kevin downloaded Billy Joel’s Greatest Hits and listened until he feel asleep, and he continued listening to it for weeks until he started remembering more of his mothers songs from his childhood. We Didn’t Start the Fire was one of his favorites because history.

I’ve traveled to over a dozen countries (truth) - Between travel through Europe with his mom while she spread Exy and professional appearances he made with Riko, Kevin is the most well traveled besides Neil.

Aaron

When I was little, I wanted to be a figure skater when I grew up. (truth) - When Aaron was around four or five, he watched the winter olympics on TV and fell in love with figure skating. Tilda never bothered to get him skating lessons, but one day, when Aaron was seven, there was an attempt to revive the Ice Capades. Aaron never thought he would get to go, but Tilda surprised him with tickets. It is one of the few really good memories he has of his mom.

The first time I got high I thought the squirrels in the tree wanted to adopt me as their squirrel king (truth) - I just imagine Aaron trying his mom’s drugs for the first time alone in the back yard, laying flat on his back looking up at a family of squirrels, saying, “I’m king of the squirrels!!!”

I hate Taylor Swift (lie) - Katelyn is a HUGE Taylor Swift fan. When they first started hanging out, Aaron didn’t really like her music but didn’t want to say anything. Eventually he started associating her with Katelyn though, and he loves watching Katelyn sign and dance so much that he now genuinely enjoys her music.

Renee

I can juggle up to 7 balls (truth) - Renee always had a natural juggling talent. She never really tried to learn, it was just always something she could do.

I have never drank diet soda (lie) - She does prefer non-diet soda, but she has tried diet before.

I once had a pet turtle named Vincent (truth) - Vincent was a gift from one of her mother’s boyfriends, the only one Renee ever remotely like. He was horrible to her mother, but had a soft spot for Renee and treated her kindly. They broke up after a couple of months, and he gave her Vincent as a parting gift. She had him until she got arrested, she couldn’t go back home to get him and when her mother went to prison he died.

Neil

My mom and I once helped deliver a baby at a truck stop in Alberta (lie) - This happened while Neil and his mom were on the way to Seattle. It was the middle of the night and they stopped to get gas a few hours out from Vancouver when they heard a woman screaming. There was nothing around for miles and only one other car in the lot that had been there when they pulled in. His mother immediately dropped the gas pump and Neil was already back in the car when the screaming stopped and his mother hesitated. Neil had never seen his mom hesitate with a potential threat around before, and he listened closely to try and understand why she stopped. All he heard was a woman panting harshly, but it sounded almost as though there was a rhythm to it. Mary signaled for him to get out of the car, and ordered him to grab some blankets, the first aid kit, and water bottles and follow her. They walked behind the locked public bathrooms, and found the woman squatting, with tears running down her face. Mary wasn’t very gentle or comforting, but she told the woman in a calm and confident voice that they were going to help. Neil didn’t do much, but he let the woman hold his hand and squeeze until he thought she would break it. He gave her sips of water between her contractions and did anything else his mother said. Once the baby was out, wrapped in a blanket, and in its mothers arms, Mary grabbed Neil and they left without another word to the woman. She stared after them, confused and grateful. Neil and his mother never spoke of it again.

I’ve been bitten by a camel (truth) - Neil and Mary spent a few days in Dubai to get some papers from a specialist there before traveling back to North America. The man did his business out of a racetrack where they held camel races. To get to his office, they had to travel through the back part of the track that the jockeys used to get the camels into position. Neil got too close to one of the camels and it bit his arm, luckily (or not), the jockey was in the middle of beating it and before it closed its mouth too tightly, landed a blow that caused the camel to immediately open its mouth again. Once he was freed, Neil was out of reach in a millisecond.

I can speak 7 languages (truth) - English, German, French, Russian, Hebrew, Czech, Greek. (To clarify he can speak 7 languages but he wouldn’t necessarily call himself fluent in all 7) We all know English, German, French, and Nora had a hc that Andrew and Neil learn Russian so they can talk to each other even with the cousins around which I love. Hebrew - In my hc Neil is jewish, as are Mary and Nathan. After running away, Mary didn’t know where to go once she had left her brother. She didn’t speak any other languages besides English, but she could understand Yiddish from hearing her grandparents and sometimes her parents speaking it growing up, and she could understand Polish from her time married to Nathan. She didn’t want to go to Poland in case any of Nathan’s contacts recognized her, so she decided to go to Israel. She knew there were communities there that spoke Yiddish and she was familiar if not comfortable with Hebrew from going to temple when she was younger. But most importantly she knew Nathan didn’t have any regular contacts there. While they were there, along with learning Hebrew, Mary pretended to be interested in converting to Greek Orthodox in order to get secret Greek lessons for her and Neil. After a while but sooner than she had hoped, Mary got a warning that Nathan had figured out where they were. She didn’t think it would be wise to go directly to Greece so she decided to move them to Prague next, since Czech and Polish are fairly similar and she really had no other ideas. While in Prague she continued her and Neil’s Greek lessons, and they went on to Greece eventually. Mary didn’t want them to lose any of the languages they learned, so she came up with a system that on certain days of the week they would speak to each other in certain languages. After Mary died, Neil pretty much gave up on Czech and Hebrew because he hadn’t been surrounded by them in so long and he hadn’t used either except with Mary since they moved from Prague or Israel. They had lived in Greece for longer than they had in Prague or Israel though, moving to a few different cities, so he felt stronger with Greek.

Fin.

This is my first time writing anything fanfiction, my first time doing any creative writing at all really, and I would love any and all feedback!! Thanks for reading this long ass post, I hope it wasn’t terrible!!

So my brother was showing me a few videos where American baseball, on friendly matches when the season’s not in, actually attach microphones and headpieces to a few players during the game? And instantly my head went straight to ‘what if they did that with Exy?’

They ask Andrew, Kevin, and Neil to give it a go first. Wymack making them do it for publicity, but also as a way for Neil to save face after his biting comebacks at post-game interviews. And also to give the foxes a slightly better rep all in.

They soon realise that they get nothing from Andrew apart from a bit of heavy breathing every now and then. The crowd and commentators put it down to Andrew’s commitment and focus and all the foxes get a good laugh at that when they watch the replay.

Kevin and Neil try not give Andrew away by snorting into their own mics, Kevin tries to hide his own guffaw the first time it happens by coughing violently enough that they ask if he needs to sit out.

Neil doesn’t say much apart from counting his steps in multiple languages, but it’s just a random number here and there. But then when the commentators ask Neil questions, he’s still as sassy as ever.

��Neil, tell us what’s going through your mind!” the second he scores.

“I’m thinking I might take my teammate up on his offer for a therapist because the voices in head are starting to give me dangerous ideas.”

“We’ll...let you play on and come back to you later then.”

But when Neil does start having fun, starts to relax a little, he gives some of the wittiest comments and opinions, and some really snarky tips for all the players. People start tuning into the foxes game’s a lot more for his dry sense of humour.

Kevin though.

Kevin ‘most handsome and well spoken and humble in the public eye’ Day is sweating. And his teammates know it, all having a small twinkle of mischief in their eyes.

Kevin is downright vicious when he’s playing, especially in his commands to other players to pass to him, or watch his back, or defend the goal. His french is downright filthy sometimes too. So this headset thing is a lesson in control for Kevin.

He does well for the most part, but you can’t hold Kevin back when his brain is in competitive mode.

And then when the commentators start asking questions mid match...it doesn’t take long for Kevin to crack.

“Your style of playing has changed so much in the past few years since you left the Ravens, how do your teammates fare in comparison, now that you all seem to be settled.”

“They’re been improving every day and I can proudly say that they are meeting every expectation I have- except Neil! Christ sake! I was right there! même votre mère pouvait voir que je me tenais là et elle est six pieds sous!”

“...Kevin, sorry son, we missed that, could you repeat that but in English?”

Neil, fuming and ready to hurl his racket at Kevin’s head a few hundred times, “Yeah, Kevin, c’mon, tell the whole world what you just said.”

Kevin goes deathly pale and doesn’t really say anything for the rest of the match, but in his post-game interview, it’s his turn to start trying to save face.

Somewhere, Jean is howling in laughter at Kevin’s expense.

And yet, this slightly unpolished version of Kevin makes him more favourable in the public eye for not being so robotic and inhuman, and that he does slip up every now and then.

Everyone kind of hates it but they’re also hella relieved.

It does take quite a bit of sucking up to do on Kevin’s part.

They give everyone else a turn on the headset: Aaron is the same as Andrew and doesn’t say much, Nicky won’t stop talking to give the other players a chance to chip in, Dan is professional as always, Matt laughs infectiously even when he stumbles, and get’s everyone’s team spirit up, Allison is flirtatious and just as sassy, Renee is the humble one and comments more on the great skills of the opposing players.

All in all, it’s an experience for all of them and Wymack regrets his decision to do this before it even finishes.

Feel free to add anything on to this!! And Kevin says something along the lines of ‘your mother could see I was standing there and she is six feet under’ which is just...harsh dude. Maybe it takes a while for the public to get over that when they translate after all. And maybe a statement or two from Neil for people to forgive and forget...

old guard au. old guard au

immortal bastards baby!!!

if you haven’t seen the old guard don’t worry this is basically an immortal foxes au

neil is 25 when he gets caught by his father. is tortured and killed.

then neil comes back to life :)

he doesn’t really understand what he is yet, but he’s pumped up on adrenaline and basically got the gist lol

his father doesn’t notice that he’s come back to life and that his injuries are gone

(because neil may be alive and healing slowly, but he is still in a very poorly lit basement, covered in blood, staying completely still, controlling his breathing)

as soon as his father unties him to dispose of the body, neil kills him, lola, and the rest.

he runs. full to the Brim with adrenaline and sheer glee.

the rest of the gang have a dream/vision of the moment neil died (this is how some of them found each other, by having a vision of a new persons moment of resurrection)

neil doesn’t know about any of the others (due to him being new) and ran away from the scene of the crime bc he has no idea what to do. his first priority is to somehow get new clothes? he doesn’t know. it’s been less than an hour. he’s trying very hard not to freak out.

the foxes (and jean) are split into 3 groups!

1 dan, matt, allison, seth and katelyn

2 andrew nicky and aaron

3 renee kevin and jean

(renee’s the eldest, dan and matt are second, then allison, seth and nicky, then andrew aaron and katelyn. the newest are jean and kevin (they happened like 2 weeks ago) and lastly there’s neil)

each of the groups know that the others exist, but haven’t met (i mean how often do you see someone in a dream for a split second and know where to go?) (also andrew isn’t interested in the rest of the foxes, other than renee)

renee knows all of the foxes and used to be part of dan’s group but is currently only keeping contact with andrew bc of a. disagreement

dan doesn’t know much about andrew’s group, the only thing she got out of renee was that they Really weren’t interested in them.

jean and kevin don’t know any of the rest, only renee. the three are on their way to meet andrews group.

kevin and jean found out they were immortal at the same time.

dan’s group had a vote and the majority voted against two new additions, so renee separated from them and immediately went for the boys by herself, letting andrew know she was after new guys.

the plan was for andrew and renee to meet up after she retrieved kevin and jean, which was like 2 weeks ago

guess how jean and kevin found out they were immortal. together. at the same time :)

SO the foxes see a vision of neil, in the basement. with a cheap shirt on that’s got BALTIMORE bedazzled on it. they take the hint.

by coincidence andrews group is the closest, renee is right behind (due to her group and andrews having the rendezvous)

dan’s group is a bit further away from neil but they’re getting there Fast

(all of them regret letting renee leave alone and are worried about her, so they go after neil thinking renee will probably be onto him too)

renee is Definitely after neil. she doesn’t know if andrew will keep him and doesn’t think it’s likely that dan’s group will go after him. either way she doesn’t want him to end up alone.

andrew is positive that dan’s group will be after neil and genuinely can’t be bothered to deal with their large group so he just wants to snatch neil + immediately make a run for it with renee

IN SHORT, all of the foxes are Very close (andrew’s group are travelling by maserati, dan’s have multiple cars, renee’s are train surfing or something of the sort)

so yes it becomes a race

nicky: the Who Gets The Pretty Boy First Race, or WGTPBFR for short.

aaron, newer than nicky and still sensitive: you watch a guy die and all you think about is how hot he is?

nicky, old as fuck and dead inside: did you see him, aaron? he was Yummy. Scrumptious, even—

andrew: what other reason is there for us to be going after him.

aaron and nicky: wait. wait what-

dan’s group with their 5 cars: (fast and furious soundtrack plays in the bg)

katelyn overtakes seth and he curses violently at her. she grins and sticks her hand out the window, flipping him off as she zooms past. seth decides that he will most definitely throttle her as soon as they reach baltimore

allison is at the front ofc there is no overtaking her.

matt and dan are in the back just in case someone crashes. again.

renee is trying very hard to be nice to these two french speaking bastards but God is testing her

kev: ok seriously how old are you

renee: i don’t know :)

kev: it is not POSSIBLE for you to be so old that you dont even know!!

jean: honestly how do you expect us to trust you if you wont even tell us—

renee: i honest to fucking God do not know :)

kev and jean, freaking out: stop LYING—

their group has been jumping trains and buses for like a week and a half. renee is at her wit's end. she feels like a tired mother driving a car while her two kids have violent tantrums in the back.

so ! andrews group is maybe one hour away. renee is three. dan is nine.

neil is sitting very still in a gas station bathroom.

someone knocks three times. neil unlocks the door. he’s handed a bag of clothes.

#if . anyones interested in this ill continue it but it got very long lol bnvbn #the foxhole court #aftg #tfc #neil is definitely a bit older here than in tfc maybe like 25? 26?#feels weird to have him any younger with how old andrew is bnmvbxm #the old guard au #thank u so much for this ceri i rlly had to get this Out bnmbmcv

healing and feeling

My @aftgexchange gift for @bayta-darell !!! I’m so sorry that this is late, I went to post at the beginning of the posting week but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I’ve spent the week doing a rewrite. There was more of it (Kevin and Neil having a discussion) but I just wanted you to get something rather than nothing. I really hope you like it. A general foxes type fic where they do some healing. Canon warnings apply- mentioned not detailed.

---------

Twenty minutes. Twenty whole minutes it took of the foxes remaining silent for Betsy Dobson to realise she’d have to make the first move if she wanted to make any progress at all here today.

“David first suggested this for you all once before and you refused, which I respected. I will not force anyone to talk until they are ready. But you’re all here today and I feel I should ask the nine of you, why now?”

Aaron watched as everyone not-so-subtly shifted their eyes to look at Josten who opened his mouth as if to speak before closing it again. He pulled his knees up to his chest and wrapped his arms around them from where he sat on the floor by Andrew’s chair. There was a space next to Boyd on the plush yellow couch but well...

“This is the second time this week Neil has almost stabbed one of us.” Ah, Reynolds. Always making sure she got straight to the point. Matt glared at her, muscled arms crossed over his chest.

“I said it was fine, I startled him-”

“It damn well isn’t fine, Matt! Were you not a boxer with some good reflexes, he could have done some serious damage.”

Aaron watched them argue back and forth until Betsy politely cleared her throat, her calm, soothing smile never once leaving her face. He admired the woman, he truly did; he couldn’t imagine dealing with people’s shit all day and managing to still look sane and collected. His own mind was enough of an asshole as it was. “I’m glad that we’ve gotten to why you’re all here, but I’d like for us to remain civil in these sessions. Talking about such things can be straining and I want you to remember you’re a team, that you’re friends.” Matt nodded and threw Neil a small smile and Allison simply flicked her hand, bright red nails catching in the sunlight streaming through the window. Aaron caught Neil bringing a hand up to rub at the scarring on his face but then Andrew’s hand came down to hold the back of his neck, thumb rubbing back and forth carefully and the tension Neil was holding in his shoulders eased up. His twin met his stare without faltering and simply raised a pale brow at him, as if daring him to comment. Aaron kept his mouth shut and turned back to Betsy. “Now Neil, would you be able to tell us what might have brought on these outbursts of violence?”

“I’ve always been this way, thanks to my mother.” Aaron saw Andrew’s jaw clench at the mention of Mary Wesninski; he knew well enough how his brother felt about abusive mothers. “But this is different. We lost our most recent game. We’re falling behind a little and if we don’t win the next game, we don’t get to progress any further.” Aaron couldn’t stop his mouth from moving, even if he had tried to.

“You’re telling me that Boyd almost got stabbed because we lost a game? Are you serious right now? It’s not the end of the fucking world!”

“It is for me!” He stopped and said nothing more, turning his face away from them all, ignoring their looks of confusion. He knew Josten loved Exy as much as Kevin, but he didn’t think such a thing was enough to stab someone over. Kevin sighed, eyes closing before he put his head in his hands. Neil’s jaw clenched and he stood abruptly, walking towards the door, Andrew following just a few seconds after. Betsy, bless her heart, she tried to reason with two of the most stubborn beings on the planet.

“Neil, maybe you’re not quite ready to talk, but we’ve only just-”

“I apologise, Dr. Dobson, but I can’t talk with you in the room. Anything regarding that part of my life cannot be discussed outside of the people who already know. I do not wish to implicate you.” The woman wrote a few things down; the scratch of the pen was loud to Aaron’s ears.

“Very well, then. Let David know when you’re all ready to come back, and we’ll schedule something between classes and practice.” Neil and Andrew disappeared out of the door and Aaron and the rest were quick to follow, but not before Renee, ever the peacekeeper, gave the woman a gentle smile and told her they’d see her next week. As if she alone could wrangle them all into another session. He made his way over to the mas with Nicky and Kevin, where Neil and Andrew waited, sharing a cigarette between them, and the upperclassmen left ahead of them in Matt’s truck. No one spoke until they were all in the car and on the move, and of course, it was Kevin.

“This isn’t a good idea.” Nicky leaned across the seats and over Aaron to bat at Kevin with one hand, all the while texting Erik on his phone in the other.

“Shut up. You don’t think that anything is ever a good idea unless it’s one of your ideas.”

“Neil I really don’t-”

“Enough, Kevin. I’m telling them and that’s final. I should have told them all anyway.” Kevin sat back with a huff and Aaron rolled his eyes at the idiot’s dramatics, staring out the window for the rest of the unusually quiet drive back to fox tower, except for the clicking of Nicky’s phone and the quiet giggles he would let out at whatever he and his fiancé were talking about. When they got there, Andrew found the closest parking spot to the building that he could, because his brother preferred not to do any more exercise than being an Exy player forced him to. The others hadn’t waited for them, not that Aaron thought they would have, but he thought at least Allison would have been standing at the doors so Neil couldn’t slip away and get out of telling them anything.

They hadn’t, however, stopped themselves from taking over Aaron’s old dorm room he shared with the rest of the ‘monsters’ before he moved to Matt’s. Dan and Matt were sitting together on the couch, the former tucked into the latter’s side, Allison was lounging in a beanbag while she inspected her nails and Renee was sitting on the floor in front of the small and worn table, sorting Nicky’s nail polishes into some sort of order. “Now that you’re here,” Allison said without even bothering to glance in their direction, “let’s get to this secret you’ve been keeping from us, shall we?” Aaron watched Andrew move over to the window to sit on the sill, lighting up another cigarette. He knew there was no need to worry about the smoke alarm because Andrew had taken it out from the first day they moved into the room. It was clear he wasn’t bothered by any of this, at least Aaron didn’t think he was, which means either he knew what Neil was going to tell them all, or he had guessed early on and hadn’t pushed for a definite answer just yet.

Kevin sat down in the other bean bag, although with how tall he was, he seemed to dwarf the bag. The sight was odd, considering that caused him to slouch more than a chair or the couch would have, something he would moan at the rest of them for when they did it. Nicky sat himself next to Renee, gushing over how she’d organised all of his colours, nodding so enthusiastically that his messy brown curls bobbed with the movement. Aaron went to lean against the wall closest to Andrew, who didn’t acknowledge him other than glancing at him out of the corner of his eye. They were better than they were before, Aaron actually managed to have whole conversations with his brother now and he was no longer hostile towards Katelyn, letting her come along sometimes when they went to Sweeties and Eden’s. He knew it would take time to have some sort of a stable relationship with Andrew but they were trying, and that was okay for now.

Neil stood in front of them all, hands in the PSU foxes hoodie he wore, barely any emotion on his face, as he always was. No wonder he and Andrew worked so well together, Aaron thought, internally rolling his eyes. He got straight to it. “After Nathan was killed, all his debts with the Moriyamas fell onto me. The money my mother took when she decided that we should run belonged to them. In Ichirou’s eyes, they still own Kevin and Jean too.”

“What does this have to do with you turning into a murderous little rage machine?” Matt rolled his eyes at Allison.

“I made a deal with Ichirou.” Dan dropped her head into her hands while Nicky made a choked off sound. Aaron was tired of Josten making dumb decisions and not telling them. This is what happened when the fucking idiot ended up at Baltimore. “I wanted something and to get him to give in to that, I said he could have the majority of our earnings when we went pro.”

“Wait.” Neil turned his head towards Kevin, who was outwardly confused now. “You said he wanted a take of what we earned, that I knew. But you didn’t say it was in exchange for something, what did he give you?”

“I wanted Riko dealt with and he was.” Aaron’s eyes widened at that, as did the others in the room. Kevin went deathly pale and he stood slowly, looking at Neil as if he didn’t even know him. He opened and closed his mouth several times before he gave up and disappeared to his room without a word. Aaron had a feeling there was a bottle of vodka waiting for him to drown his sorrows in. Allison looked mildly impressed.

“We all knew the suicide story was suspicious, but I didn’t think you had it in you.”

“I wanted him to pay for what he did. I walked out of that room and I laughed. But that’s why the nightmares have kicked in and I’ve picked up old habits, like sleeping with a weapon under my pillow. If Ichirou notices any slack, he will kill me.” Aaron looked to Andrew again, and his brother was staring back at Neil, as if waiting for him to fall apart. Dan stood, determination on her face and a fire in her eyes.

“Then we help you stay on top of the game. We’ll fit in an extra practice a week and on the free period you share with Matt, he can discuss drills with you.” Aaron saw Matt smile and nod, receiving a dip of Neil’s head in return. “We’ll tell Coach that we’ll have an evening a week at the court, watching old games and seeing what we can take from them. No one gets to ruin this for you, they don’t get to take anything else.”

Nicky whooped and got up to hug Neil quickly, after he got the consent for one. Aaron wasn’t too happy about all this extra work for a sport he wasn’t even that bothered by, but he supposed he owed Neil this. After all, he was the one, no matter how stupidly he went about it, that finally managed their rag tag group work as a team and to become friends. He brought them together, and so Aaron would do this

So that they could stay together.

~~~~~

They did get better over the weeks, and they won their next game, letting them progress further into this season.

The session with Betsy continued, though progress on that front was slow going to begin with. Neil’s confession had broken the ice, and each of them would discuss assignments they were struggling with or the odd everyday problems life gave you. Betsy never pushed them, allowing them to get used to talking first before she tried diving for issues hidden deeper down.

After a few weeks, Allison discussed her parents when she had gotten a phone call from her mother out of the blue. Apparently, they had started to notice how the foxes were on the up and up, and how much more media attention they were getting. Allison’s mother wanted to use her daughter for her own gain, to get their businesses promoted through the foxes and for Allison to start building their incomes through Exy. Aaron didn’t understand a lot of it, other than that his teammate’s parents were some of the most self centred assholes on the planet. After all this time, they hadn’t gotten in contact with Allison to see how she was or to ask about working on their own family issues, but just to see how they could make life better for them. The blonde had said in the one session that she finally told them where they could stick it, and if they wanted to cut her off from the money they could. If they didn’t want to love her as parents should, then she wanted nothing to do with them.

When Allison ended her rant with the words ‘fuck them’, the foxes repeated them- even Andrew, to everyone’s surprise -loud and clear. Betsy tried to be reprimanding, but Aaron could see she was proud and trying valiantly to not smile with them.

~~~~~

Some months or so after that, Aaron was attending one of his sessions where it was just him and Andrew. It was coming up to a year now since they’d first started these double sessions with Betsy, and he wasn’t ashamed to admit he liked coming to them. Yes, sometimes it was bad and they’d end then arguing heatedly, or sometimes, it would leave them exhausted but content that they were managing to get on to the same page with each other. And other times, well, those times managed to bring their walls crashing down.

Today was one of those times.

“Aaron, you don't look as if you’re well. Is everything alright? If you’re unable to sit through this one, you may go back and rest if you like.” He knew he must look like shit, after the night he’d had with his mind torturing him, but he felt as if this is why he’d been so plagued by nightmares the last few nights. Like Andrew had to know about them.

“Nightmares.” His throat felt raw and scratchy, but he supposed that was normal when you wake yourself up by screaming yourself hoarse.

“Are you able to tell us what they were or about?” He nodded, turning on the couch so he was angled to the left, making it easier for him to look directly at Andrew. His brother seemed unfazed as he usually did, but Aaron thought there was something different about him today, though he didn’t quite know exactly what was different. Maybe he felt like today was going to be better for them, too.

“I thought I was already awake, because I was walking around the house in Columbia. It was too quiet, and the house was dark, and it was almost as if I could feel the shadows closing in around my shoulders.” He breathing became ragged and clenched a fist where his hand rested on his thigh. “I thought I heard glass smash and the sound of a thud, like something had hit the hardwood floor. It was muffled, coming from upstairs so I followed the sounds.” He closed his eyes and swallowed hard; it was like he was back in the nightmare and he couldn’t get out.

“Aaron? Aaron, you can stop if you want to.” He shook his head, feeling part of his hair fall onto his forehead.

“The noise was louder up there, coming from your room.” He opened his eyes again, catching his brother’s gaze, hazel eyes that matched his own. And they knew, they knew where Aaron’s nightmare was leading them, yet he didn’t flinch away. “I opened the door and it was back to that day, and Drake…” Andrew did not outwardly show any reaction to the name of his abuser, though Aaron saw his fingers stray to the edge of his armband. As if it soothed him to know he had a way to keep himself safe. “When I tried to get in there, it was like there was an invisible barrier in front of me. No matter how hard I kept hitting it, it never went away. I kept screaming at you, to look at me, so you’d know I was right there but there was nothing.” His cheeks felt wet and brought a hand up to find that those were tears running down his cheeks.

Andrew’s eyes had widened, and the hand that was holding his armband started to drift towards Aaron, but stopped just shy of making contact. He took a few deep breaths before he felt like he could go on. “I closed my eyes after a while but I didn’t stop trying to get to you. Then all of a sudden I could hear laughing, and when I opened my eyes, I was back in that shitty apartment, before you came and Tilda had locked me in the closet. She had her Junkie friends over doing all sorts of shit, music on as high as possible.” He felt like he could breathe, as though someone kept on piling invisible weights on his chest, one after the other. “I had one toy, a couple of granola bars and a bottle of Gatorade, of all things. No matter how loud I shouted for her, she never came to let me out. I woke up screaming after that, scared Katelyn half to death.” He’d kept his gaze on the floor when talking about his mother, knowing she was a touchy subject between them.

There was a quick tap to his knee and, a bit reluctantly, he lifted his head to look at Andrew again. His brother was breathing a little heavier, and Aaron could see the way his chest moved. There was more emotion on his face than he’d ever seen. When he was on the meds it was different, it was just a constant sort of forced excitement. This was real and this was Andrew. His twin. “I’m going to hug you, yes or no?” Aaron almost choked on air at the words. Words he’d never expected to leave Andrew’s mouth. He saw Betsy falter just a little out of the corner of his eye, her own stalling from where she was writing things down.

“Yes.” Then slowly, carefully, Andrew shifted forward so he could pull Aaron into him. His arms went around Aaron’s back, and he hesitated just a little before doing the same. Their cheeks rested against each other and when Andrew spoke next, Aaron could feel the words against his ear.

“We’re okay, you hear me? Both of us. We’re a little bit broken, but we’re doing okay.” Aaron nodded, taking a stuttered breath. And if the two of them, the same yet not the same, held onto each other for just a little longer then that was just fine.

They were just okay.

---------

Again, I’m sorry about the lateness! Hope you liked it:)) I’m also sorry it’s not as long as it was, but trying to remember everything to rewrite was so difficult.

Foxes + New Years

the exy team doesn’t do a lot with the other athletes of Fox Tower. Or more accurately the other athletes don’t want to anything with them

New Years is the exception.

Every New Years the captains of all the different teams get together and organize the biggest party of the college year.

It usually takes place on the Exy court because it has the glass enclosed court but the rest is open so they can see the fireworks.

(Because no one can convince me that a stadium that sits 65,000+ is completely enclosed)

Though almost all the teams from campus attend, there isn’t a lot of mingling and it is a lot like the Exy banquets.

Except on the dance floor of course because really they’re drunk colleges and aren’t that picky about who they’re next to.

Anyway it usually goes without flaw or incidents.

Usually

But when there is it almost always involves one or more of the Exy team memebers.

And more times then not that means Andrew and Neil.

Because they are rude little shits and like to pull knives on people.

The whole thing usually goes like this:

Dan, Neil refuses to help, spends the week leading up to the party stressed and grumpy. And talking to way more people than she’d like.

Also trying to convince, or force, whatever you want to call it, certain members of the team to come.

She always manages to though because despite what they say, her team respects her.

The days before the party are spent much like the days before the banquets.

People in search of dates, alcohol, and hot new clothes.

Allison usually drags Neil with her to shop for a dress and something for him.

He never buys anything though because Andrew always has something perfect waiting for him the night of.

It sometimes even slightly cordinates with his. Not that Andrew would admit that.

This year Neils is a black shirt and grey plaid pants(because I can’t get the thought out of my head) and Andrews is a black turtle neck with grey skinny jeans.

Very hot exy bfs indeed

Power couple shit

Anywayyyyy

The party is fun for most of the foxes.

Dan and Matt always try to make like rounds to the other athletes as part of being hosts and the Exy teams designated parents.

Because no coaches or real fake parents are allowed at the New Years party.

Allison is the life of the party and is on the dance floor all night.

She also looks so hot that everyone can’t stop watching her.

Renee is a mixture of Dan and Matt and a more subdued Allison.

Though she spends plenty of time dancing with Allison.

While everyone is watching Allison because she looks amazing, they are watching Nicky because he’s a mess on the dance floor.

Like literally can’t dance to save his life even though he tries.

He tries so hard.

A big part of this however is because he gets drunk with in the first hour of the party.

The years Erik is able to come to the party he can not stop laughing.

Yeah Nicky is an idiot but he’s Eriks idiot and he loves him so much.

Usually Aaron and Katelyn dip from the party before midnight because unlike most of the athletes they have other friends.

They’d rather celebrate the beginning of the new year with the rest of the student body.

But during the time they stay it’s spent in the dance floor.

Kevin usually puts up a fight about going but is always the first to get drunk(until he stops drinking)

“Just cause it’s the new year doesn’t mean we need any more break from practice.”

“Shut the fuck up, Kevin”

He is drunk before he even gets to the court but no one talks about it.

And he stops complaining after two drinks.

Once there he stays to the sidelines with Neil and Andrew or goes to the dance floor with Allison and Renee.

Neil and Andrew are the last to come and first to leave.

They literally will leave at 12:02.

Neil hates the party so much. Too many people and lights and noises.

Plus he hates that the Exy court is used not only for a party but for one with people who don’t even know or appreciate Exy.

Andrew mostly goes cause free drinks and food but also he likes to get dressed up with Neil and even tho he never will admit it, he likes seeing all their teammates happy.

With the New Year comes the traditional 12:00 countdown and...kiss.

They stop playing music about two minutes before the new year so everyone can get to their bf or gf or get ready for fireworks or whatever they need to do.

For some on the Exy team fireworks are a big no no so they leave or get headphones.

When the countdown is done Matt and Dan are always the first ones to start kissing and their kisses are full of love and laughter.

Allison usually gives Renee a sloppy quick kiss with her hands tangled in Renee’s hair.

Nicky and Erik kisses are a lot like Dan and Matt’s but with more tongue and they definitely turn into make out sessions.

Kevin finds the closest person not kissing someone and gives them a quick peck, after he asks of course.

Maybe he brings a date some years idk??

Andrew and Neil, who are definitely not out yet during their college years usually slip out while everyone is getting ready for midnight or watching fireworks.

They’ll sneak into the the press room so that they can still see the sky and court and hear the countdown but have the privacy they want.

It’s usually a sweet soft kiss unlike most of their other kisses.

Andrew ups the percentage every year.

Because his heart still can’t comprehend that Neil is kissing him with such care and love and that they are doing something so coupley.

He loves it tho.

“Happy New Year, Drew.”

“2009%”

“Did you just say the yea-“

“No.”

Happy new year everyone!! It just turns 2021 here and I am so glad 2020 is officially in the past!

Again sorry this got kinda long and I’m too tired to proof read so it’s probably full of typos lol

My updated All for the Game headcannons after my third read and like ~3-4 years of obsessing over this series

Allison is a binary trans woman and super bisexual

Neil is greygender like he just doesn’t really give a fuck about pronouns or aesthetics or any of that he’s just....Neil

Neil also has ADHD and has periods of hyper fixations that sometimes turn into long term interests and other times get abandoned after a month

Andrew is definitely demiromantic

Maybe has ASD as well?? Not solid on that headcannon yet but I’m warming up to it

Kevin? Super fucking bisexual and DEFINITELY has ASD like both solid headcannons for me that you cannot convince me of otherwise

Renee is pansexual and ambiamorous (which means that you and indifferent to having multiple partners or your partners having multiple partners you just kinda feel it out) but tends to lean homoromantic

She is also nonbinary and uses all pronouns but he/him+ other masc terms and it/its

Aaron is somewhere on the arospec but heterosexual (sorry Kevaaron shippers 😅)

Kevin is also polyamorous ok and ends up with Thea and Jeremy as partners and Jean as a metamour (who is dating Jeremy)

SPEAKING OF JEAN: he is definitely queer but has no desire to label his sexuality he has too much to deal with without trying to figure out his sexuality on top of that. Same with his gender like wtf is that even???? Leave me alone

Matt? Hella pan and figured out after meeting Neil that he is polyamorous too

Dan is bi and ambiamorous so she and Matt sometimes go on dates as a couple and they both would have a threesome with Neil in an instant (though that’s never happening because he only swings for Andrew but they can dREAM OK?)

I also think that Matt doesn’t necessarily identify as nonbinary but also doesn’t not identify as nonbinary ?? Like he’s definitely a dude he’s just not sure if he’s a binary dude

Allison has bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder (which if you didn’t know are not uncommonly paired) (I also have both of these) (self projection af kids)

Wymack is Native American and registered as part of the Catawba tribe. He isn’t as connected or active in his culture as he would like to be BUT as he and Kevin develops their relationship they go to events within the community together and eventually get him registered with the tribe as well

OH and Kevin gets super into his Irish heritage as he allows himself to grieve and remember his mother more. I think he probably didn’t really let himself do that in the Nest what with being a human pet and all. He starts studying Gaelic and starts following Irish Exy nearly as intensely as American exy.

Jeremy is gay and Chicano (Mexican American)

Renee is Korean takes on Taekwondo after her exy days as a way to reclaim her fighting as something constructive for herself rather than a relic of her gang years as well as indulging in her culture.

She and Allison (because i super ship Renison) like to have Korean food nights and watch K-dramas together

Nicky is nonbinary but still uses only he/him and masc pronouns. No one way to be nonbinary folx!

He and Erik help run a youth program for queer kids once they’re married and living together in Germany.

Allison is mixed Black-White American and PROUD bitches

Katelynn has the same coloring as Neil and a lot of similar personality traits (being short tempered and mouthy especially) and twins REFUSE to acknowledge it

Neil is ethnically Jewish as is Abby and she helps immerse him in the culture once she finds out. He doesn’t really believe or follow the religious part of being Jewish but doesn’t have disdain for it either.

The Foxes throw him a belated batsmitsva and he and Andrew love baking challa bread (especially with apricots and rosemary) and latkes together

Speaking of—Andrew is an amazing baker. He’s constantly baking sweets and breads and pizzas (with less sweet options for Neil) and even snacks for the kitties.

Andrew also has a slightly chubby tummy and I will FIGHT YOU on this

Neil loves it and gets very defensive of it whenever someone tries to put Andrew on a diet

That is his favorite pillow and how dare you body shame Andrew or attempt to take that squish away from him

Not sure how solid this headcannon is for me yet but I can definitely see the twins as a quarter Japanese (which I and my siblings are as well and my youngest sister looks like a white girl with monolids so like it’s definitely possible for them to have that coloring and still be mixed)

Of the foxes (and sorry if nora has already declared this I haven’t read the EC in a while) Andrew, Neil, Kevin, Matt, and Allison are the only ones that go pro.

Kandreil has made out just once and they all agreed it was a mistake.

Ok that’s it for now but I may come back with more ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ we’ll see

AFTG Gender Swap ;)

We heard of turning into kids, switching body’s, I even saw turning into a cat but SWITCHING GENDERS!

Alright hear me out what ifffff Neil and/or Aaron turned into a girl/s for like a couple days.

They wake up one day and Neil all of a sudden has long ass curly disney princess Marida hair and A cup boobs. Andrew is SHOOK and everyone just comes into their dorm except for Matt and Aaron(they assume they aren’t up yet)

They then hear a loud ass scream and Matt comes running in and Matt comes barging in and hides behind Dan not even noticing the extra girl in the room.

And then this chick with C cup boobs wearing a white shirt to big for them, long blond beach wave locks, and boxer shorts coming barging in with a KNIFE.

Getting a good lock at her you can tell it’s Aaron but not as easily as it was to differentiate Neil since Neil is like GORGEOUS. But Aaron and Andrew have pretty masculine features and though Aaron still has high check bones his face is rounded out and his lips seem more blump. Once they notice it’s Aaron though Nicky screams DROP THE KNIFE.

(why does he even have a knife idk)

I can just picture Nicky daring Aaron to stand up on a table/chair and scream IM GAY because he is now a she and still likes katelyn. (i stan bi Aaron but that’s a convo for another time).

Neil dosne’t really care, he can still play and that is all that matters. He was nervous about Andrew since even though Neil doesn’t swing Andrew does.

And imagine Andrew having a internal crisis because he’s gay and the guy he is obsessed with is now a girl and HES GAY but damn Neil is still sexy.

Like neil is already drop dead gorgeous and now he’s a girl so Allison is allllllover him.

The girls + katelyn dress them up and lend them some clothes to wear. Aaron try’s to still wear his outfits that just look more baggy on his new slimer figure. (the girls are definitely not jealous of either Aaron or Neil)

Neil isn’t so lucky and is made to wear almost skin tight shirts and some ripped baggy jeans from renee. Neil has pretty much the same build his shoulders are just slim down and his wasted is slightly wider.

And though Aaron’s looks are like a drugy skater boy aesthetic him as a girl he looks sexy af because he has a hourglass shape with lean muscle. Kevin has a bi crisis !!!

When they go to Edens Aaron Kisses Katelyn and the crowd cheers.

Neil is wearing Andrews shirt that definitely doesn’t fit him either way and Allison’s black wriped jeans rolled up because they are too long and doc martin boots from Dan. With his hair pulled back thanks to Allison. Andrew DOES NOT like this at allllll BUT he does explore Neils body in new ways because come one man is curious. Neil is not mad.

As a joke Allison Dares Aaron to kiss kevin for 50 bucks. He only does it because Katelyn told him to. (she genuinely wanted to see) Kevin definitely chokes on his drink

They kiss for a whileeeeee

Now Aaron is having a bi crisis

Andrew is seething from the amount of guys that has hit on his brother (now sister).

foxes + onesies (9/9)

based off of that one post i saw and don’t remember, where people once caught Allison wandering around Fox Tower in a giraffe onesie, and i absolutely melted for her. here is the Foxes’ journey to getting a onesie each!

Kevin

every Fox has bad days

some bad days begin with a specific feeling

when Andrew feels ghost hands as he wakes up, when he feels his body too tight for his bones, or hid bones too big for his body

when Neil feels every sound like a knife to his skin, when the scars on his face feel like phantom pains, when he feels a grown man moves too fast, too close to him

when Allison feels jeans cling too much to her thighs, when her shirt brushes too much on her abdomen, when she feels the food she ate resting in her stomach

some bad days begin with a specific date

when it’s the anniversary of Tilda’s death, and Aaron cannot be in the same room as Andrew, no matter how far they’ve come

when it’s the anniversary the Boyds’ divorce, and Matt can’t leave Dan’s side for one second, no matter how strong their relationship is

when it’s the anniversary of Mary’s death, of Evermore, of Nathaniel’s last birthday, of Baltimore, and Neil can’t take a single look at himself in the mirror, no matter how many times Andrew worships his face with his mouth and his fingers

or, when it’s the anniversary of Kayleigh Day’s death, and nobody remembers, not even Wymack, and Kevin is all alone with this grief that is other, unlike any other he carries everyday, unlike anything he can compare to, and he doesn’t know how to feel anymore

Kevin vividly remembers that day, and he sees it luring around the corner as August approaches

but this time, there is no more Riko to worry about, no more mafia to be scared of, no more Ravens to antagonize him, no more Master to punish him for even attempting to grieve every year

and no more alcohol to make him forget

Kevin quit drinking the day they won championship, they day Riko was killed died

it’s been a year and a half, now, and Kevin still wants to drink the minute things get hard mentally

(it’s also been a year and a half since the Foxes started getting onesies, but it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long, and only Allison remembers that summer where it all started)

so when Kevin enters his bad days, his bad weeks, the Foxes are used to his mood swinging back and forth between Queen of Assholery and Feral Fox

but Kevin isn’t

he isn’t used to feeling all of this, to always think, and think, and think, until everything inside his head is as loud as the outside, until it’s all too much

yet he’s still expected to go on

still supposed to function, to perform, to be a decent human being when he’s not even sure he even feels human anymore

and so when Kevin snaps, the Foxes are supposed to be used to it

they’re not

nobody is

it’s summer practice

the 9 Foxes came in early, before the two new recruits arrive

Kevin is in the middle of yelling at Neil, who is very much yelling back at him

there’s that moment very full of testosterone where each of them throw away their gloves and helmets and sticks

they’re an inch from each other’s face and then Kevin suddenly… stops

he completely stops

his face goes blank, his feet move him back, his arms go slack

he looks at Neil, and he looks, and looks, and looks…

as if he could find an answer to a question he doesn’t know he’s asking

Neil, who has never learned to watch his mouth after all the trouble it got him into, keeps tearing into Kevin

Kevin keeps backing up and Neil keeps pushing further

but apart from his backwards movement, Kevin doesn’t react

pure apathy doesn’t suit him nearly as well as it did Andrew

the other Foxes are so silent, that between two of Neil’s breaths, they can all hear him whisper

“Stop.”

but Neil doesn’t hear him, or doesn’t want to

it gets so out of control, even Wymack has to step in, on the court, when he sees Kevin so unresponsive

it gets so bad, eventually Neil, too, stops his yelling and just looks at Kevin

and he looks, and looks, and looks…

as if he could understand the question Kevin is asking an answer for with his pleading, green eyes

“Stop… Just- stop. I can’t- anymore… “

Kevin shakes his head and looks at the floor as hatred and hurt grip his guts

he takes another step back

suddenly he jerks his head back up and looks at Neil

“I hate you. God, I hate all of you.”

he looks at all his Foxes

then leaves

Kevin Day leaves the court

behind his back, he doesn’t see Matt holding back a furious yet teary-eyed Dan

he doesn’t see Renee leaving her goal to join Andrew’s side, her big racquet blocking his way

he doesn’t see Nicky putting his hand on Neil’s shoulder, squeezing in empathy

he doesn’t see Allison throwing away her racquet against the plexiglass wall with all that she’s got, fuming and hiding her tears

he doesn’t see Wymack matching over to Neil, a whole speech ready to give Neil his piece of mind

and he certainly doesn’t see Aaron collapsing to the ground, his hands holding his head and gripping his hair, his breaths shallow, his jaw clenched shut, his eyes dry yet red-rimmed

but from behind Kevin’s back, none of them see him either

they can’t see him losing his breath as he starts running away

they can’t see him clenching and unclenching his left hand

and they certainly can’t see him crying

the week that follows is undeniably tense between all the Foxes

that week also coincides with a lot of events

there’s the new Foxes’ arrival

there’s the start of classes

there’s the mandatory psych session with Betsy before Exy season starts

and there’s August 27th

Mom’s accident

Kevin remembers the day vividly, he truly does

he remembers because the week of the accident, he was supposed to start school for the first time, on September 1st

he had picked his outfit for the first day, he had new red Exy-themed shoes, he had even planned the lunch he wanted to have that day in his lunchbox (spaghetti squash casserole. yeah, weird kid.)

on August 27th, Mom didn’t come home

on August 27th, he went to the Moriyama property

on August 27th, he settled into a weirdly well-accommodated room that fit both him and Riko

on September 1st, he woke up with Riko and they prepared for their first day

on September 1st, Kevin wore his planned outfit, put on his red shoes

on September 1st, Kevin did not have spaghetti squash casserole

she left him nothing but an aversion for squash, red shoes, and Exy

which brings us as to why, on August 27th, as all the team is mandated to talk an hour with Betsy Dobson, Kevin Day volunteers to go first (with Aaron volunteering to go second and be the designated driver for the pair)

none of the Foxes have really talked to Kevin since the previous week’s outburst

Kevin has no other outlet for this painful day

it’s either talk to Betsy, or ruin 496 days of sobriety with one vodka bottle

the only words exchanged between Kevin and Aaron, on the drive to Reddin Medical Center, are, surprisingly, from Kevin

“Somebody should get you a new goddamn car.”

he doesn’t elaborate further than that, but Aaron looks at him strangely

his car really is garbage, though

once arrived at their destination, Kevin doesn’t wait for Aaron and bursts in Betsy’s office without warning

it takes at least half an hour of Betsy talking before Kevin gives up his silence

everything was already there, he just had to open his mouth and let his words fall

Kevin: I’ve been sober for 496 days. I’ve been thinking about my Mom’s anniversary for the past few weeks. That’s today, now. And last Friday, I told Neil, then the whole team, that I hated them. Care to unpack that for me?

Betsy: I can help you sort some things out, of course, Kevin. But this is your baggage. I’m afraid I can’t do this without your help. Why don’t you tell me more about this hatred you feel towards your teammates?

Kevin: I dont. Hate them. I don’t… I hate what they do to me. How they treat me. Their double standards. How they forget, how they dismiss. Mind you, I’m well aware of my asshole status. I know I am. But them… they’re… they’re mean. Vicious. They cut and stab and don’t care about what’s underneath. They don’t care that I helped them get the title of Champions. They don’t care that I was there every step of the way, that I was right there beside them when we played the Ravens, when we won. They don’t care that Riko died, that he once broke my hand, that I was legally kidnapped, that I went through hell and still lived to walk on my own two feet. They don’t care that I, too, once had a mom. They don’t care that my Mom died. They don’t care. To them, I’m still just a cunt. It’s unbearable. They don’t give a shit and I’m so, so tired, Betsy. I’m not asking for much. I just want… I want- I want them to let me breathe. I want them to realize that, I’m just like them. I’m a Fox. I’m a Fox as much as they are. I wake up everyday, and feel all this weight on my shoulders, in my stomach, on my heart, but I carry on anyways, and I don’t know why, but I do, just like them. Is that so hard to grasp? Is that so hard to accept? What am I doing wrong, Betsy?

Betsy: Oh, Kevin…

the rest of the session passes in a blur

Kevin talks about how every time he takes a photograph, he thinks of Kayleigh, of how brightly she smiles in all the photos Wymack has of her, of how he wishes he could take pictures of her with his own camera

Kevin talks about how every strong woman in the Irish folklore he reads about wears Kayleigh’s face

Kevin talks about how he thought Thea had been a bit like her, and how, in the end, she hadn’t been at all, she was her own woman, a woman he didn’t know and didn’t love, and how he thought he had lost a bit of Kayleigh again when they separated

Kevin talks

he talks

and Betsy listens

when his time is up, Kevin’s voice is hoarse with exhaustion and sadness

he lets Aaron in as he decides to take a run back to Fox Tower

his mind tries to guilt him into going back to the court, but between facing the Foxes after that and isolating himself in his dorm, Kevin knows what’s best for him

he is only disturbed in the late evening, when Wymack enters the dorm

even Neil, Andrew and Nicky hadn’t come back yet

Kevin knows something is wrong

Wymack isn’t supposed to be here

Wymack: Day… Listen, son.

Kevin sits up on his bed

Wymack: Argh, I’ll cut the bullshit. It’s Abby. There’s been an accident. Her car’s fucking scrap metal now. She was brought to the hospital 45 minutes ago, I just got the call. She’s going into surgery. We’ll all visit her in the morning.

Not again

Not Abby

What the fuck is this life?

Wymack: Number Seven wants to see you now. Don’t ask me why, I don’t wanna know. I’ll let her in, don’t make me regret this. Sleep good, son. I’ll see you tomorrow.

he opens the door, takes one last look at Kevin’s tense form, and leaves as Allison comes in

she’s wearing her giraffe onesie tied at the waist, with an oversized WALKER 09 t-shirt

she stands in front of Kevin until he looks up at her

Allison: Scoot over. We’re watching The Crown.

and Kevin, dumbfounded, lets her and moves

he finds himself quite intrigued by the storyline, enough to only worry about Abby with his fingers, fiddling with one of the giraffe’s horns

after the third or fourth episode, Allison starts to talk, eyeing Kevin’s fingers playing with her onesie

Allison: Wanna know the latest gossip? Even Andrew has a onesie, now. God, I can’t believe this is a sentence that exists. Andrew Minyard owns a fucking onesie. Do you know what that makes you?

Kevin stays silent, eyes fixed somewhere not quite on Ally’s laptop screen

Allison: That makes you the only Fox without one.

Kevin: Oh, so now I’m a Fox? Didn’t seem that way earlier. Or, like, ever.

the dealer chooses her next words very carefully

Allison: Just because we hadn’t seen it yet, just because we were too busy stuffing our heads up our asses, doesn’t mean you weren’t a Fox… I know, I know. Hard to feel like one when the others give you shit non-stop. Been there, done that. And now I’ve done it to you, too, and I’m… Sorry. We’re dysfunctional, there’s no changing that. But- We can do better. We’ll try, promise. I think you’ve made quite an impression on Betsy today, ‘cause we all received a good talk from her during our sessions. I mean, don’t expect Andrew running in to apologize, but, you know… Something about Betsy turning severe makes you re-evaluate your life choices. We’ll do better, Day.

Kevin looks at her, then

really looks at her

and nods

yet just as he turns his attention back to the screen, Allison leaves the Netflix page and googles “onesie adult”

Kevin: Oh, no. Absolutely not. Nope.

Allison: Oh, yes, yes, yessss!

but then, of course, there’s a knock at the door, and Allison gets up, opens the door, lets the person in, whispers something, and leaves

just like that

and oh

It’s Aaron

Aaron: So… Allison tells me you’re finally getting yourself one of those stupid pajamas too?

Kevin: I am not. What are you doing here anyway? The others will be back soon, I assume.

Aaron: Well, it’s my shift…

Kevin: Your what now?

Aaron: No, it’s not like that! We just… We thought you’d want some space because of… today… But then Abby… We didn’t want you to be alone.

Kevin: Really. Who’s “we”?

Aaron: The proud Palmetto State Foxes’ Exy team. All of them. You know, Dan, Matt, Renee, Allison, Andrew and Neil, Nicky… Me.

once again, Kevin can’t help but stare, deeply surprised

Aaron: Andrew and the others will be back for the whole night, but for now, it’s my turn. I wanted to take the first “watch”, but Allison said she had business to do with you. And I’m not getting in the way of that woman.

Kevin honest-to-God snorts

Kevin: If by “business” she meant bullying me into buying this onesie shit, then you should have gotten in her way. I’m not doing that. It’s fucking dumb.

Aaron: Hey!

Kevin: Aaron Minyard, don’t tell me you’ve participated in this madness…

Aaron: So what if I have? It wasn’t exactly on purpose, but I got one. And you don’t. So really, who’s dumb here?

Kevin: What is it??

Aaron: Not telling you.

Kevin: C’mon…

Aaron: Nope. You can’t bribe me. I’m not telling you shit. However, what I can telling you, is that it feels kinda wrong that we all have a pajama and you don’t…

Kevin: Oh my God, fine! What did the others get?

Aaron: Well, besides Ally’s giraffe, we got a tiger, a dinosaur, a teddy bear, you’ve seen Nicky’s unicorn nonsense, and I’m not quite sure about Andrew’s… Oh, and Neil’s is a fox, obviously. That predictable dumbass.

Kevin: Okay, well, I want a fox too.

Aaron: No, Kevin, you can’t.

Kevin: What? Why not!?

Aaron: Because. Neil’s already got a fox. Do you want to be a copycat AND a predictable dumbass?

and so until 1 AM, Kevin and Aaron bicker about each of Kevin’s suggestions (a Palmetto Foxes onesie, a USC Trojans onesie, an Irish-themed onesie, a white fox onesie, a gray fox onesie, and so on…)

when Andrew, Neil and Nicky come back into the dorm, Kevin’s almost laid all the way down on his bed, his head resting on Aaron’s elbow, as Aaron is sitting right next to him, laptop propped on a pillow and his fingers scrolling away

Aaron looks at Andrew, sighs, and looks at Kevin

they nod to each other, before Aaron gets up to go back to his dorm

Kevin sits up correctly when Aaaron is gone and Andrew approaches

Kevin pretends not to notice and googles one more idea, “brown fox onesie”

as he scrolls down and down and down, Andrew looks over his shoulder

and points at one picture

Andrew: That one. Now go to bed. We’re getting up at ass-o’clock tomorrow.

for the third time this evening, Kevin is shocked

he does look at Andrew’s pick attentively, though, and decides to go with it

that night, even if images of Abby covered in blood plague him for at least an hour, Kevin falls asleep to the memory of Aaron’s skin against his cheek, which somehow translates into dreams of Kayleigh resting both her hands on his cheeks as they sit in a field of wildflowers

a couple of weeks later, Kevin doesn’t tell the team his onesie has arrived

but he is forced to admit it when, for Halloween, they organize a huge party for themselves only, where they decided to wear their pajamas as costumes for the night

Kevin feels so stupid in his outfit

he even had to buy a LARGE because he’s so fucking tall

but it still feels… comfy… warm… not so bad…

maybe this can work for him…

it’s only when he steps into the girls’ living room that a problem arises

Aaron: What the fuck is this.

Kevin: Hum… A brown fox? Technically, Neil’s is orange, so you can’t shit on me!

Aaron: That- That’s not a fox, Kevin! What the fuck.

Kevin: Okay, well what are you then?? A mutant mouse?

Aaron: What are you- Oh my God, you don’t know what Pokemons are.

with that, Aaron turns around and yells for his twin

Aaron: ANDREW JOSEPH FUCKING MINYARD. YOU DID THIS ON PURPOSE, DIDN’T YOU? YOU BASTARD.

he storms off yelling

Kevin only reunites with Aaron at the end of the night, on the girls’ balcony, both sober

Kevin: You know, for someone who pushed me so much to do this stupid thing, you’re not being very nice about it. I know you wanted me to be “original” or whatever, but it’s not like I look like Neil! Why are you so upset?

Aaron: Kevin. It’s not a fox.

Kevin: Oh for God sake’s Aaron, you-

Aaron: It’s a Pokemon, Kevin. They’re like little monsters, kind of, and it’s a videogame, but there’s anime, manga, and collectible cards and… I used to- I used to collect those. Before. I lost them, now, but see this? This is one of them. It’s the main Pokemon, actually. His name’s Pikachu.

Kevin: Okay… Who am I, then?

Aaron: You… You’re Eevee.

Kevin: And what’s “Eevee”…?

Aaron: Pikachu’s girlfriend.

and oh.

Oh.

Kevin: Andrew didn’t tell me… The little fucker. I thought- Sorry. I didn’t mean to be another pawn in one of Andrew’s little games. Why did he do that to you?

Aaron: I think you know why.

Kevin looked at Aaron

Aaron looked at Kevin

Kevin: Fuck.

Aaron: Yeah, that.

Kevin: What?

Aaron: Nothing!

Kevin: Aaron.

Aaron: Kevin.

Kevin slowly invaded Aaron’s space until his back touched the railing, and placed one hand on each side of the backliner

Aaron looked up at Kevin

Kevin looked down at Aaron

Kevin: Okay?

Aaron: Okay.

and Kevin grabbed Aaaron by the hoodie of his pajama, and pulled him close, closer, closer, closer, until their lips met, at last

it was a long-awaited kiss, a careful kiss, a kiss of home and yes and oh and warmth and safe

Kevin reluctantly pulled away and rested his forehead on top of Aaron’s, knowing they have very little time before the other Foxes found them snogging on the balcony like a goddamn cliché

Kevin: Aaron.

Aaron: Kevin.

Kevin: I’m gonna ask you something stupid, and you can’t punch me for it, okay?

Aaron: Fine, okay.

Kevin: Do you want to be the Pikachu… to my Eevee?

Aaron: YOU FUCKING MORON!

and with that, Kevin burst out laughing, as if the Foxes’ attention wasn’t already on them the second Aaron started yelling

Allison and Matt knowingly started whooping with their beers raised for a toast

Dan was facepalming hard, shaking her head, but smiling nonetheless

Renee smiled her genuine, angelic smile while clapping Nicky on the back as he choked on his drink

Neil, arms crossed, watched the scene unfold with contentment

and Andrew. Andrew had no reaction at all. at all.

he was looking at his nails, no knife in sight, no fucks given

which, in Andrew’s language, meant everything

and so that October 31st was one for the books, the books about the good days, the good feelings, the good memories

because the Foxes had those, too

Kevin Day had good days

Aaron Minyard had good days

Allison Reynolds and Renee Walker had good days

Dan Wilds and Matt Boyd had good days

Nicky Hemmick had good days

Neil Josten had good days

even Andrew Minyard had good days

God knows they deserve them

these onesies, as silly, as stupid, as corny, as childish as they may be, were a proof of that

a proof that the Palmetto State Foxes could be better, could do better, and could get better

The Foxes may have won Division I games, some of them might have gone on to successful pro careers (to join Court), and others to successful non-Exy careers (doctors, designers, etc.). But there is one badge of honor that they (and anyone who knows them) all strive for - to say that they have been chosen to cat-sit Neil and Andrew’s beloved fur-children:

Renee and Bee are a given, of course. Even if Neil isn’t big on Bee as a psychiatrist, he knows that Andrew completely trusts her and that she is the closest thing to a mother he’s ever known, and that she won’t harm their ‘children’.

The same with Abby and Wymack. These two have looked after the Foxes and continue to do so, and will watch over their ‘kids’ offspring, be they covered in fur or not.

Allison and Andrew might not always see eye to eye, but she takes such responsibility seriously so she’s added to the roster. (Plus, it gives her a chance to go through Neil’s closet during her stay, destroy anything she finds ‘hideous’ and replace it with ‘decent’ clothes, which Andrew approves.)

Matt is Neil’s best bud and Neil trusts him with his life, but when he called/texted 60 times over every little thing (’I can’t find the cats! - NM, they were under the bed,’ ‘are they supposed to sleep this much?’, etc.), he’s only kept in the rotation if Dan can come, too.

Nicky has offered several times... Neil and Andrew are grateful that he’s in Germany. He’s a ‘last resort’ and ‘only if Erik is there the entire time’ option.

It took a couple of years before Robin was added to the rotation, and more because she didn’t feel comfortable cat-sitting until she got a cat of her own.

Aaron is offended to find out he’s only on the list as Katelyn’s ‘+1′ - like Matt, he’s not allowed to watch the cats unless his spouse is there (Neil still has a few things to work out with his brother-in-law, but gets along great with Katelyn. Andrew has to admit - well, not really - that the cats like her and makes sure her name is toward the bottom of the list).

Kevin? He’s utterly indignant that he hasn’t been asked yet - indignant! He brings treats and toys whenever he visits, spends a night going over the history of cat domestication (until Andrew all but throws him out), sends Neil an itemized list of why he’s so much better a cat-sitter than anyone else... and almost loses it when he finds out that Jean was asked to cat-sit one weekend. Jean!

Neil and Andrew trust Kevin, they’re just having too much fun tormenting him for the time being. Plus, he buys the best cat treats (even better than what Allison brings), so....

#aftg #the foxes #neil and andrew #andreil #cats #cat-sitting #neil and andrew and their children #neil and andrew being assholes what else is new #you have to admit there is some fun to tormenting kevin #he has the best reactions #he'll get there one day #and then be so smug #i can imagine him wearing a 'best cat-sitter' shirt or something #mumbling into the void #my headcannon #throwing this out there before going back to letting my shoulder rest #nekojitachanfics

DO continue the old guard AU pls :)

immortal foxes part 2!

recap !

neil just found out he’s immortal (his father killed him, neil came back to life, killed his father, is now panicking in a gas station bathroom)

the rest of the foxes know about neil and are after him, it’s a race.

(they find out through a dream + it’s how they know about each other, though andrews group and dans have not met yet)

(then there’s renee who knows everyone, recently left the foxes after an argument, they now feel bad and are after neil, so that they find renee)

andrew’s group (drew nicky and aaron) have arrived in neil’s area

renee’s group is right behind them (renee kevin and jean)

(kev and jean just found out they were immortal like 2 weeks ago, together :) renee went to retrieve them)

dan’s group are further away, still want to get neil before the rest do, so they’re speeding. excessively. have already had one accident on the way (seth) (he is immortal, i have not killed him off) pray for them.

(dans group is: dan matt allison seth + katelyn)

so neil is in a gas station bathroom and a stranger knocks on the door. neil opens it. he’s handed a plastic bag.

he thanks the stranger and closes the door in their face. washes up in the sink + gets changed etc

(u see, neil is trying Very Hard not to think about why this stranger suddenly decided to buy him clothes and soap. neil’s decided it’s just ‘people do weird things when ur attractive. even if u look like u definitely killed 8 people 15 minutes ago.’)

half an hour later, when neil’s dressed and clean he walks out of the bathroom. and. to his absolute Horror. the weird stranger is Still waiting for him.

neil halts. kind of scared. there’s a beat of silence.

stranger: oh sorry i haven’t introduced myself!— my name’s jeremy! jeremy knox :) nice to meet you.

neil stares impolitely. jeremy ignores this, then suddenly goes “oh!” making neil jump.

jeremy laughs and apologizes, then shuffles through his backpack.

he hands neil a granola bar + a grey gatorade and smiles.

neil is in love

so renee is trying to steal a car.

keyword: trying

jean, jumping up and down in place: oh my god oh my god oh m

kevin, whisper shouting at renee as she walks past him with a bat: you literally just beat up a fucking cop!! we can’t just—

(glass shattering) (kev and jean screaming)

andrew wants to look for the pretty boy and snatch him up before the trojans do. but aaron REFUSES to fucking help. out of spite.

u see the last immortal (before kev+jean) was a blonde girl (katelyn) and they found out about her through a dream, as usual.

this was around 350 years ago. aaron wanted to look for her. andrew refused.

aaron has been (extremely) petty ever since

andrew: nicky, you go through gas stations, public bathrooms, anything. aaron will—

aaron: im not doing shit.

andrew:

andrew: it’s been three fucking centuries. get over it.

aaron: YOURE AFTER MULTIPLE CUTE BOYS MEANWHILE YOU DIDNT EVEN LET ME—

(aaron continues yelling, nicky does his I Told You So laugh and does not help at all. andrew puts his head in his hands and groans)

neil is in a van. on the highway. staring at jeremy and a girl. the driver is another girl.

so. now that the granola and gatorade are finished. neil realises he’s definitely made a mistake.

jeremy has introduced the girls as laila and alvarez. he’s also explained that all of them are immortal, including neil.

neil is too busy unlocking the car door

renee has told andrew that she’s getting closer and is currently on the highway. andrew yells about aaron.

kevin and jean have fallen asleep on each other in the backseat.

the foxes are on the highway. getting closer inhumanly fast lol. seth is now sharing with matt due to him crashing his other car

there were no other casualties other than seth— he didn’t die, but got yelled at by dan. f.

renee sees familiar looking cars going way over the speed limit in her rearview mirror and laughs

alvarez is driving quietly. jeremy seems to have gotten carsick and is now sticking his head out the window. trying not to throw up. laila is all too excited, smiling brightly as she attempts at a conversation with neil.

neil. of course. is not listening.

laila then finally turn and asks jeremy if he’s alright. neil decides it’s now or never.

he throws the car door open and hurls himself out, breaking some limbs as he practically fucking flies down the highway.

cars barely miss neil, swerving past him. he doesn’t notice due to the fact that everything he broke is healing extremely slowly and painfully

alvarez hastily stops the van, twisting to the side of the road. cars beep and swerve past violently in the process.

laila jumps out of the van shakily, taking out a gun. she yells for neil.

neil, healing, immediately notices laila. then jeremy, who has rather embarrassingly fallen out of the van. he seems to be hurling.

neil then notices that laila has a gun. he immediately gets up, and starts running fast, ignoring his half healed leg. the direction he’s chosen is the forest right off the highway.

laila notices

she shoots neil in the head, he falls.

renee sees the cars gathering in the opposite direction

but can’t see much past the concrete dividers placed between lanes. she doesn’t really think much about it.

suddenly, a gunshot.

renee mutters ‘of course’ and slams the brakes. a car immediately crashes into the back of hers, sending them flying a few feet forward.

jean and kevin wake up from their sleep rather. shocked. and in pain.

kevin, bloody, is about to yell something at renee but she speed dials andrew and throws her phone at kevin

renee jumps out of the car, vaulting over the concrete divider. she runs in the direction of the van.

allison, who is in front of the rest of the foxes, immediately noticed renee running out of the wrecked car in the distance.

she laughs gleefully, quickly calling dan, who’s a few cars behind, telling her the rest of the foxes should definitely stop their cars.

so renee jumps over the barrier, running through the crowd of cars and onlookers.

she spots a woman heaving a dead redhead over one shoulder
