okay so andrew isn’t really a forehead kisses person or a cheek kisses person i think thats the consensus yes
but listen to me alright neil josten Loves to kiss andrew’s cheeks and forehead and the tip of his nose and his fingers
basically anywhere that isnt his lips
he picks it up from dan & matt and he just,, he falls in love with casual kisses
like for example when he wakes up and finds andrew in the kicthen making coffee, he’ll walk by and press a kiss to the top of andrew’s head with a quiet “morning”
or when andrew’s sitting on the beanbag or on the couch and neil plops down next to him, he’ll lean over and kiss andrew’s cheek – maybe the corner of his mouth
when they’re showering together, his hands in andrews hair, he’ll kiss andrew’s neck and his jaw because he likes that andrew likes it
when they’re at eden’s twilight, sometimes a lof of the time they’ll just find a private corner and maybe on occasion neil will put an arm around andrew
on really sappy occasions he might tell andrew he’s happy and properly kiss him
theres times when the foxes get together in a dorm for movie nights and ofc andrew sits next to neil and sometimes neil just links his fingers with andrew’s
and absently fiddles with them. andrew lets him do it because he likes it too
sometimes a lot of times neil makes comments about whatever they’re watching and he whispers them in andrew’s ears
thats when hes actually paying attention to what thyre watching
post games, neil is the only one to hug andrew on the court and only sometimes
in the locker room, neil tells him he was amazing and might kiss his forehead
all the while andrew is growing Tired
all he wants to do is kiss this asshole properly he just wants a good ol’ make out session sometimes
A Real Kiss
so one night hes in bed, a book in hand, and neil leans down to kiss his head and andrew says “no”
and neil stops of course
neil gets in bed on his side and doesn’t push andrew doesn’t ask why
so after a while andrew puts the book down and asks “yes or no?”
and neil is a little ?? but yes of course its a yes
so andrew grips his face with both hands finally and kisses his mouth
dear god he’s been wanting a real kiss for so long and neil can tell that fucking shitstick and he smiles so big into the kiss
when andrew pulls away for a second to breathe again neil presses a kiss just at the corner of his mouth and laughs at the unimpressed look he gets
Neil: drags people every chance he gets
Neil: fears nothing and no one
Neil: trusts no one
Neil: Only cares about Exy
Neil: dislikes people on sight
Neil: allergic to telling the truth
Andrew: shit… I need me a freak like that.
and people wonder how sir fat cat mccatterson came to be lmao
Blue: Rate Adam out of 10
Gansey: Adam? Adam Parrish? Oh, Adam’s a 10. A true 10. Have you seen that face? Only angels could have crafted such a thing. Pure perfection. *sigh* Adam Parrish. He’s the best of us, Blue. A 10 all round. You see those hands? They’re working hands. I would trust my child in those hands, I really would. He’s a 10, Blue. A solid 10.
Blue: What about the rest of us?
Gansey: strong 8 in good lighting
