goD like im so fucked up over the idea of andrew and neil giving each other forehead kisses like
- neil starts it b/c three inches taller is the perfect height to kiss andrew’s forehead
- it starts as just another thing neil does during their iconic makeout sessions
- (or like, you know)
- (when they’re done)
- but then neil starts doing it other times and andrew is just like ?????
- neil will give him a forehead kiss before leaving for class in the morning
- or right before bed
- andrew pretends that he thinks it’s the most annoying thing ever, but he really really secretly loves it and how it slowly just becomes neil’s go-to form of affection
- it takes a while for any of the other foxes to notice since it’s a pretty intimate gesture, so there aren’t really that many occasions for them to see it
- months after it started, they finally see it when neil goes to ask andrew something during a scrimmage and before he turns to leave he just kisses andrew’s helmet (!!!!!!)
- allison makes an unbelievable amount of money
- they all think that they will never see andrew return the gesture in a million years
- but one day after a game the press is super nasty to neil and pull up way too much shit from his past
- he holds it together until he gets back to the locker room but then he can’t breathe and the room is spinning
- and andrew just shoves him up against the wall to keep neil from collapsing, with one hand on his neck and the other flat against neil’s heart
- “neil, stop. fucking listen to me, you’re fine, you’re safe here, it’s okay”
- neil does calm down after a minute and just looks exhausted and worn out as he refuses to make eye contact with anyone but andrew
- everyone thinks andrew is going to step away now that neil is fine but he doesn’t
- he presses himself up on his tiptoes
- and grabs neil’s face between his hands to pull it down a little
- and kisses his forehead
