like kevin and him will sit for hours rewatching the same Exy games, making terrible exy jokes (’hey, day?’ ‘what?’ ‘this is exylent’)
and neil will agree to sample his protein shakes even though they all taste horrible and healthy
like basically the two are indeed friends, no matter what reporters says, seeing kevin day basically screaming at neil for being so fucking stupid half the court away, neil flipping him off without even looking.
neil also always waits for renee after her bible group. they meet late every wednesday and end around 10 at night and he finishes class at 9 but he doesn’t mind waiting because it is a long walk across campus at night and he knows renee is perfectly capable of walking by herself, he just thinks she might not mind the company.
she always tells him what pastel colour she plans on dying next, and he always asks how she does it exactly because renee’s hair always looks so perfect and they exchange hair dye tips and tricks.
allison makes him go shopping
and neil lets her critique his barely held together converse shoes.
basically they spend entire days together and she drives him far away from the university and it helps him deal with his anxiety, with the car going faster and faster until the stress goes away.
he’s also right there beside her at women right protests and movements, because he does not understand why guys think its weird to support how strong women really are.
allison totally paints his nails for those events and he never minds. he likes it most when she does orange and white because he is such a team spirit nerd.
dan and matt always take him out for pizza since it’s his favorite food.
they go see a movie and basically run around taking the weirdest instagram photos e v e r.
like neil planking in front of a fountain? got it.
dan flipping off the statue of christopher fucking columbus? got it.
matt trying to coax of a bunny rabbit in the park to trust him and be his forever best buddy? you better believe they got it.
fans adore their instagram accounts.
basically neil is dan and matt’s child and they adore him
some idiot tries to attack nicky for being gay on twitter?
ohhhh poor life choice buddy because did you not know that is neil’s domain?
like riko may have thought he was king of exy, but neil is the master of twitter.
like basically he does not stop. he shreds the poor ignorant bastard and educates him on why exactly he is wrong and basically whenever someone tries to attack nicky’s sexuality he is right there ready to fight.
(he is also the more polite one nicky can introduce erik without as much fear to because really? aaron or andrew? please son. neil is the one with more evolved manners, even if they aren’t much.)
aaron and him have a more basic relationship.
sometimes neil hands him a bottle of water instead of throwing it at his face
BUT
he is always nice to Katelyn. that is without fail.
