Andrew: Neil, I have come to make out with you
Neil: Not in the middle of the game, Andrew
Andrew: Fine. I will sit here consumed with lust for the rest of the evening
Kevin: No, Andrew, you have to fucking play
“who said the word please that made you hate it so much?” “i did.” is one of the most haunting lines of literature and i don’t think i’ll ever recover from it
headcanon eden’s twilight is actually a gay club and neil just doesn’t notice because 1) he doesn’t swing and 2) most of the time he’s there he’s pretty preoccupied
Oh my god imagine Andrew dragging Aaron and Kevin to a gay club. And everyone just thinks it’s for Nicky’s benefit, especially after the “incident” with Andrew beating up those four guys, so they don’t say anything. Nicky still has no idea about Andrew and Roland. He just thinks Andrew disappears outside to smoke when he’s not at the table drinking because they’re in a gay club. He doesn’t think it’s Andrew’s scene in more ways than one.
Also, Neil totally gets hit on by a ton of people and they barely even get two words out before they’re frightened away by Andrew’s glare. He doesn’t notice a thing.
Reason 3 Neil never notices: when he finally get to Eden’s without being “pretty preoccupied” he’s already realized that he swings in one direction alone, which is Andrew’s, so he spends his time staring at him and doesn’t pay any attention to all the rest.
“Losers aren’t people with weak statistics. Losers are people who won’t try, who look at insurmountable odds and give up prematurely. My foxes aren’t losers. We put it all out there day after day because we believe there’s got to be something better than this. It’s not about getting there quickly; it’s about sticking with this no matter how long the fight. We’re fighters.”
