Neil + Casual Honesty

palmettofoxden:

• Neil trusts the team and doesn’t want to hide things from them, so slowly more and more of his past comes out in casual conversation
• The whole team is beyond concerned and horrified
• Except for Andrew who just likes the honesty, although he doesn’t particularly care what Neil tells the rest of the team as long as he keeps telling him truths
• One of the twins trying to claim Neil doesn’t know what Kevin terrified actually looks like because he wasn’t there to see Kevin broken on the bus after Riko broke his hand and wasn’t around when Kevin first joined the Foxes
• Neil doesn’t skip a beat before responding “I think he looked pretty terrified after we watched my father torture a man to death.”
• And the team is like what the fuck Neil?
• They’re watching a movie and Matt’s like “There’s no way he’s just walking around after being shot like that. They have to get him to a hospital.”
• And Neil says “I didn’t go to the hospital when I got shot.”
• Matt is concerned
  
• Neil zoning a movie out while thinking about how this movie is making him wait way too long before he and Andrew can sneak off to the roof
• Nicky’s like “There is no way he’s lost this much blood and is still conscious.”
• Neil knows exactly how much blood loss it takes before someone can’t stay conscious anymore
• So he’s like “I’ve seen someone conscious after losing more.”
• And Nicky’s head whips around to look at Neil like he is concerned for Neil’s immediate well-being which Neil thinks is ridiculous
• It was a long time ago and it wasn’t even his blood
