❝ you want ME to lie to andrew. ❞ right now the word fear is an understatement for what he’s feeling. he’s already imagining what the other twin will do to him once he finds out cousin nicky here lied to him. he doesn’t even think andrew wouldn’t believe him. and if he did, he’d find out by himself eventually. nicky would just be prolonging him discovering the truth. 

a sigh before he finally agrees. ❝ yeah, okay, fine. and aaron, when i die, tell my boyfriend i love him. i’d appreciate it. but we should probably think of a better lie. uh…maybe i dared you to jump down the stairs and you messed up? dunno. ❞

❛   ━━━━   i’d  never  do  anything  you  ask  me .     he  knows  this .  ❜     is  nothing  ever  simple ?     apparently  fucking  not .     aaron  sighs ,     drops  the  ice - pack  from  his  face  with  irritation .     he  doesn’t  want  to  die  either ,    nicky ,     stop  being  so  selfish ,     damn .     you  know ,     punching  those  guys  felt  pretty  great  for  a  little  while ,     before  he  walked  into  the  dormitory  and  realised ,     oh  shit ,     andrew  lives  here  too  and  it’s  bad  enough  he  got  beaten  to  nearly  a  pulp ,     but  he  started  it .     andrew  will  smell  the  dishonesty  the  minute  he  walks  through  the  fucking  door .

ANGER TYPE TEST

F I R E . your anger burns like a fire, destroying everything in its path. your anger is ferocious but has no direction. once you are angry, anything and everything is your target. like when a bull sees red. your hot-headed thinking makes all logic and rational disappear. you flip out and what's done, is done. there will be no turning back.

fetches a new ice pack from the fridge. he has a stockpile in case, and they all end up needing one eventually. ❝ OHHH. now see, you probably could fight them all, but i’m glad you didn’t! ❞ nicky’s already made a bet with someone ( probably allison or renee. he forgets right now. ) that one of the twins or both of them would do that this year. butu he’s finding himself very happy that he hasn’t won that bet yet. ❝ you’d probably win too, but then you’d need way more ice packs than i have to offer. even my stockpile is limited, aaron. ❞

❝ football guys are DUMB anyway. they can shit talk us when they learn to play a better sport. …if they can learn? i heard they get concussions yearly. must not be good for their brains, yknow! ❞ in an attempt to diffuse the bomb that is a minyard’s anger he’s trying out humor. it’ll be a shocker if it actually works.

they  can’t  lose  what  they  never  fucking  had ,     he  thinks  bitterly  as  he  takes  the  newer ,     colder  ice - pack  and  presses it  to  his  face  with  a  hiss .     ❛   don’t  tell  andrew .   ❜     aaron  says ,     ignoring  nicky’s  awful  attempt  at  diffusion  and  instead  the  fear  that  lingers .     it’s  common  knowledge  to  all  of  the  team  that  andrew  would  likely  kill  aaron  if  he  found  out  he’d  been  in  a  fight ,    let  alone  instigated  it .

his cousin is nodding thoughtfully while also internally SIGHING at yet another fight. ( this time, with the twin that’s usually much calmer. ) ❝ so–to repeat your story: you fought the football team in the parking lot of a denny’s. i….. ❞ nicky’s actually sighing now. ❝ what did they to you again? and would you like a new icepack? ❞ maybe they thought he was andrew. whatever the reason, it made nicky extremely frustrated.

❛   no ,     i  didn’t  fight  the  entire  football  team   ━━━━   ❜     he  corrects ,     huffing  into  the  air  with  brows  furrowed  in  annoyance .     not  strictly  aimed  at  nicky ,     no ,     half  and  half  with  the  pain  in  his  cheek  that  somehow  worms  it’s  way  through  his  entire  body .     

❛   ━━━━  but  i  fucking  should’ve .     assholes .   ❜     he  bristles ,     nods  at  nicky’s  offer  for  a  new  ice - pack  and  drops  the  one  he’s  holding  onto  the  counter ;     this  one  is  warm  and  soppy ,     keeps  moving  around  and  threatening  to  fall  off  his  face .     ❛   they  started  talking  shit ,   i  don’t  know  what  about  but  i  heard  my  name  and  just .     lost  it .   ❜     in  truth ,     he  heard  nicky’s  name  too ,     along  with  andrew’s  and  low  and  behold ,     josten’s .     but  that’s  not  something  anyone  needs  to  know .

❛   why it’s statistically impossible that   ━━━━   ❜     your loss, minyard !  kevin’s obligatory glower is cast ; aaron’s face is washed out by the flickering glow of the television screen , two pairs of thumbs on video game controllers , but the typical flat expression is an easy fill  -  in  -  the  -  blank . there’s a beat of silence , more specifically the sounds of button clicking and instant gratification  ;  anxiety rushes to fill the noise before his head takes the reins .     ❛  ━━━━   jeremy knox would not end up in the exy hall of fame .   ❜
