it’s my first attempt at writing in nicky’s pov – which is a mistake probably since it’s set in that teacher au i wrote last year where i mixed their ages around. so we have a seventeen year old nicky who’s living with an adult andrew, and… well, let’s just say that nicky is very much still healing from all the shit he went through when he lived with his parents and from conversion camp. but he has a good support system now, so not everything is grim and broody. here’s a snippet if you’re interested :’o

“I’m telling you guys, there’s definitely something between them,” Matt insists for the third time that morning.
“Matt, if there was, I’d already been knew about it,” Nicky rationalizes, also for the third time that morning.
“Bitch, please.” Kyle adjusts his wig, giving himself a once-over in the mirror. “You have a shitty gay-dar.”

See, Irfan is the first, full-fledged crush Nicky has had ever since – well, ever since he got back from the therapy program two and a half years ago. He’s a senior at Norton High, competes in javelin throws, and rides his dad’s old vespa. He has beefy arms, olive brown skin, and emerald green eyes. Nicky likes him a lot, and he refuses to be ashamed of it.

It starts, like so many of the things in Neil’s life, with someone being cruel
Allison’s visiting and they’re out grabbing lunch and a passerby cracks a joke about Neil’s scars
And it’s been a hot minute and Neil doesn’t really care but he’s tired of this, tired of people recognizing him as damaged when he’s working on being a whole real person
Allison notices and once she’s finished her biting one-liner coming for the passerby’s life she leans across the table and presses a firm kiss to Neil’s right cheek, directly over the pull of knife scars
Neil’s been learning he likes physical contact, from people he trusts, and he’s surprised but he blossoms under the contact and relaxes
So it becomes a thing
Dan busses Neil’s cheek in greeting when she visits
Renee’s cheek-kisses always leave Neil with the lingering scent of citrus shampoo
Nicky likes to make a joke of it, give Neil’s burn scars a huge smacking kiss when Neil’s feeling down
Matt throws himself into this idea completely, of course
Even Kevin, sometimes, if it’s just them in their dorm and Neil passes Kevin the notes they’re taking on a game, will press a brief kiss to Neil’s cheekbone in thanks
(Aaron doesn’t; but he doesn’t complain when the others do, and that’s– that’s something)
And of course Andrew
Andrew
Never in front of the others, but at night when Neil’s curled against him Andrew will work slow and reverent lips over Neil’s cheeks and nose, dropping down frequently to kiss that mouth that features in so many of Andrew’s dreams
