bear with me…
- neils got blisters so many blisters along the heels and balls of his feet and he usually has one or two toes bandaged bc they were bleeding from how much he runs and practices
- hes got dry ankles and banged up and bruised and cut knees almost all season
- he has that light ginger almost blond body hair covering his arms and legs and body thats so light that in the right light it looks like hes completely shaven
- his calves and thighs are probably the thinnest but most defined of the whole team even allison cant compete with the definition of neils upper thighs bc of how much and how fast this kid can run
- hes got freckles along his legs and up his back they arent in any sort of pattern theres probably not even that many theyre just spread randomly on him
- hes got this birthmark that looks like a bruise on his right outer thigh that he pokes and prods waiting for it to heal but never realizes that its permanent he just thinks he keeps bruising that particular place over and over again
- neils got a rather defined stomach as well perhaps not as much as say kevin or matt or even dan but he has a v clear 4 pack that could be a 6 pack if kevin had his way with neils diet
- hes got scars
- old and new that have just become a part of him as much as every freckle
- theres a gunshot wound from when he was 14 on his lower left flank other scars from where gunshots scraped past him
- other times when shrapnel pierced his skin
- and multiple knife wounds, stabbings and deep cuts, each once had a story that not even andrew knew yet
- some had stories that neil would rather not remember himself
- he doesnt have a v broad chest but its still p defined as well
- hairless which hes not sure how he feels about esp when andrews not
- his arms are nice but more lean and less defined and muscular for the sake of muscles
- he has long arms that were a problem when he was younger and they got in the way while he was growing they still look a little out of place considering hes not v tall still but he has arms that rival nickys in length
- he has a scar right by his collar bone where hed been stabbed and another along his neck that you couldnt see unless neil was looking directly up in good lighting
- from when he had had a man start to slice his throat when his mother hadnt dropped her gun fast enough even when her sons life had been on the line and deeper still even after she had dropped it
- he has small ears
- rather ears that dont stand out too much esp when he lets his curls grow out, he eventually gets quite a few piercings along his left ear leaving the other alone
- he has a very chiseled face his jawline very defined his cheekbones hidden behind a couple of bad scars
- his eyelashes and eyebrows a shade or two darker than the hair on his head and his eyes the color of an iceberg framed by long lashes and and crows feet that he gets from his mom
- Andrew has small feet…not necessarily small, but smaller than Neil’s
- He’s got light brown/dirty blond body hair and this boy is hai ry
- hairy lil baby
- i digress
- hes got calves that should scare you, not necessarily v huge and strong like Neil’s, but so ridiculously defined even the football players are jealous
- his knees are soft but still scratched up and scarred just like the rest of the foxes
- his thighs are a little chubby bc that sugars gotta go somewhere
- that somewhere being his chubby thighs and chubby butt and slightly squishy abs that shouldnt be abs but ARE bc my son exercises
- this boiiii
- i love him so much idk what to do with myself
- anyway
- hes hairy like i mentioned so i mean im not, no, no im totally saying happy trail
- also can we talk about these idiots and the v defined V’s they both sport
- like
- stop it you two
- but also never stop i support and love – i digress
- where tf was i
- oh
- the..scars
- Andrew’s got scars along the tops and sides of his thighs, those were all him
- he’s got barbed wire scars from a stint gone right and only those scars to prove it, all along his right hip and onto his stomach and the top side of his right thigh
- he’s got freckles, a lot of them, along the small of his back, along the back of his thighs, and down his spine, some bunched up at the back of his neck
- hes got small hands, but pianist fingers, long and thin and knobby
- he’s got scars on scars on scars on his knuckles from various fights with people and the couple times he smashed a mirror with his fists
- he wears his armbands at all times, im just…wait. a hijab. I wear a hijab at all times except when I’m home and/or around people I can take it off with, and that has nothing to do with this, but really…parallels well with the armbands
- wow i derailed im sorry
- anyway his armbands hide the worst scars
- the ones around both his wrists, the ones that have since scabbed over but still sometimes itch that he tries his best to ignore
- hes got sharp, banged up elbows and
- broad shoulders and chest to match
- he probably does one handed push ups to one up Kevin bc he knows how much it pisses him off
- he’s got a long neck, and a sharp collarbone that Neil adores
- a necklace of hickies as proof
- his hair usually stay up and out of his face most of the time, but sometimes if he brushes it down it covers his eyes and he does that head jerk thing short haired people do to get it out of the way and he has soft hair and Neil loves pulling on it and running his fingers through it
- anyway this got way too longjust take it
Tag: hc
for @key-called-home bc i made her cry a lot today
- 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
Headcanon that after Matt and Dan’s wedding, everyone is sitting around (most of them drunk) and they all decide to disclose their Lists (for celeb banging ofc) and Dan goes first and gives the names of an actor, a soccer player, and, to everyone’s surprise, a male ballet dancer.
Allison has a couple of musicians on her list. Renee swears she’s never heard of this List thing, but she promises to come up with at least one name by the end of the night. Aaron grudgingly admits that there are at least five actresses that he would totally bang given the opportunity, and Katelyn isn’t at all shy about listing off her celebrities.
Nicky’s list is too long to even bother going over, but Neil is situated in the lineup somewhere between eighth choice and fifth choice “because it just depends on the night, Neil, but don’t worry you’re still pretty.”
Neil is also right at the top of Matt’s list, and at this point Andrew just casually sets his hand on top of Neil’s knee and meets Nicky and Matt’s gazes with an icy one of his own. So Matt, who is drunk and honestly doesn’t give a shit anymore, asks Andrew who’s on his List and Andrew just casually replies “I don’t need a list” and then Matt asks Neil and Neil says “it’s only ever been Andrew” and Nicky loses his shit because fuck Andrew and Neil are so in love and it’s really gross tbh like get them out of my face
kevystel
replied to your post “!!! i was going through your yoi tag, and seeing mention of glacial…”this is all brilliant please tell us more about insecure viktor
viktor is very subtle about it. he puts on three-piece suits and styles his hair and waits until he sees yuuri’s swoon just a little and thinks, “okay, yes, i’m still beautiful to him, good”
viktor wakes yuuri up in the middle of the night (because he has this belief that’s when yuuri will be uninhibitedly candid) to ask, “would you still love me if i weren’t beautiful.” yuuri grumbles and says, “you’ll always be beautiful to me,” which is not the answer viktor wants except yuuri continues, “but yes, even if you lost all your hair and had more wrinkles than yakov i would still love you,” and that appeases him.
viktor tries to sweep his messy personality under a rug made of blasé charm and good cheer so that people won’t see that he’s imperfect and think less of him for it (meanwhile, yuuri lifts the rug up like “can my husband made of expensive lint and empty bottles of hair product please come out”)
viktor talks around the things he wants because he doesn’t want to ask and then not receive it because to him that would be the ultimate proof that people don’t actually care
a Very Serious Headcanon with kat @sacrebleusargent
- instead of the foxes, they are the bees. palmetto state bees.
- their lifelong rivals are the yellowjackets
- “they are composed only of hate and can sting multiple times, those bastards,” dan whispers reverently
- wymack’s best speech is composed only of “i fucking hate hornets. swat them.”
- the bees’ uniform is yellow and black, and the yellowjackets’ is black and yellow
- kathy tries to sound suave on her show but “what will it be, Kevin? black and yellow or yellow and black?” only sounds good in the bee movie
- (an alternative – “honey or torment and terror?”)
- speaking of the bee movie, it’s mandatory viewing for all freshmen on the team
- nicky suggests it every movie night
- he no longer gets a vote on movie night
- kevin is queen bee, which is canon
- the ravens live in a hive. it’s a glorified tree house.
- they also make loud buzzing noises to intimidate, and sometimes poke people. it’s like a sting. very terrifying, not cute at all
- and their theme song is black and yellow by wiz khalifa
- instead of putting a dead fox in the foxes’ cars, they put hives in them
- (they’re ruthless)
- seth dies by bee sting. he’s allergic
- neil, the next day: he’s literally a bee. he’s allergic to them. he had to know this would end badly
- everyone: the man died. like, permanently
- neil: you don’t tempt fate like that
- the girls all call each other honey. and so does matt
- and for halloween they all dress up as bees
- everyone calls betsy “bee”, except andrew, who can’t be #mainstream, so he calls her bethany
- “that’s not my name,” betsy says, once
- andrew does not acknowledge this
au where Neil and Katelyn work at a coffee shop, the twins are frequent visitors but rarely do they ever go in together.
- Andrew tends to go to the cafe around the time Neil has a shift and Aaron when Katelyn has shift (have they shifted their schedules to accommodate for a certain cute barista, no of course not, pfft)
- Andrew likes to annoy Neil by telling him he made his drink wrong(tells him he wants a free drink next time he comes in). neil hates him and does give him a free drink only to have it be the sweetest concoction ever(bc who could like something so poisonously sweet) Spoiler alert: Andrew does. Cue his salute and “better luck next time” as he exits the cafe
- next time andrew comes in neil makes him most bitter black coffee ever.
- andrew is all like challenge accepted and looks neil straight in the eye as he pours nearly half the sugar container into his cup of coffee. raises the cup to him as if toasting to him, ‘cheers’ and walks out of the fucking cafe
- Neil doesn’t realize he’s been giving andrew a free drink every time he comes. andrew however does.
- katelyn flirts with aaron every time he comes in. their encounters are a mix of awkward chatter and flirtations. aaron has been trying to ask her for her number for some time now. katelyn has been getting up the courage to write her number on his cup
- neil comes in to relieve katelyn of her shift and sees one of the twins just walk out of the shop and he tells her how much of an asshole he is and katelyn is like what?? you’re wrong. katelyn is like his name is aaron and he’s a sweetheart and neil is like his name is andrew and he’s a fucking ass
- so in order to prove each other wrong they move their schedules around to have several shifts together.(this also confuses the twins because like what happened to their cute barista)
- matt and dan work the register, both have a sneaking suspicion that they are twins but they don’t say anything because they think it’s hilarious.they also have a bet going on as to who will realize it first. matt bets on neil(of course). they are sure to put themselves on the same shift as neil and katelyn
- aaron walks in while they are both working and neil watches as aaron completely ignores him in favor of katelyn. and he smiles and laughs and what the fuck. and katelyn gets the courage to put her phone number on the cup, feeling all triumphant over neil
- neil is actually offended(which actually surprises neil because he should be glad he is ignoring him but he’s not, how dare this fucker not talk to him after all the shit he has put neil through) and is about to go off on him when andrew walks in.
- aaron and andrew both look at each like what the fuck are you doing here
- and katelyn and neil look at each other like, they’re fucking twins
- dan and matt call it a draw
- neil writes his number on andrew’s cup because why the fuck not
hi can you share some andreil/renison/foxes hc’s about them studying? midterms are coming for me and i need motivation from the foxes ;-;;; thanks!!!
good luck for midterms!
- allison studies best at her desk in the suite, and has to lock her phone in her drawer so she can’t be distracted by it. she takes renee out for ice cream as a treat for them (mostly allison tbh) once she’s got through what she needs to for the day
- renee is the kinda girl who would have a studyblr if she had time for it. her notes are SO. GODDAMN. PRETTY. and she has little checklists and stuff for everything? that she actually uses? the whole time too, she doesn’t get halfway through the give up? fucking amazing. anyway she studies in their suite too, mostly so she’s ready at all times for allison’s study break sweets. also it means they can coordinate their makeouts for maximum study effectiveness
- dan is like. the Queen of studying. she makes those notes and exercises her bitch. she goes to the library quite a bit but also quite likes hanging out in the foxhole court lounge when it’s empty (wymack sometimes sticks his head out and makes her coffee the way she likes, because they know each other pretty well after all these years). she isn’t the world’s best student but she smashes those tests into submission because no one is gonna stand in her way including a bad grade
- matt is pretty chill about studying. he keeps up with his coursework really well during the term, so it’s just a matter of rereading and making study notes and answering practice questions to make sure he’ll be able to do okay. he knows that he’s going pro so he figures out exactly what he needs to do to pass and makes sure he can do exactly that and no more. dan bans him from the girl’s room beforehand, but she can’t ban him from the court so sometimes he shows up to annoy her there
- aaron goes to the library and studies like the straight a student he is. he knows his shit already but he does get stressed enough over it all that he probably can’t sleep. katelyn is no help because she’s the same, but at least aaron has company while he’s awake at 3am squinting at a page of text. they crash in katelyn’s room once they’re done and sleep like the dead for hours
- neil is a notoriously shitty student, so unsurprisingly he’s a disaster just before midterms or finals. he pretends to be really chill but he is Panicking. he’s terrible as asking for help, but he does so when andrew reminds him that he needs to pass or he’ll get kicked off the team (with his typical tact, ofc). that reminder also means he studies without breaks for hours, so andrew takes it on himself to distract him long enough to eat and probably kiss a little bit
- andrew? study? yeah right lmfao. anything he hasn’t absorbed from the lecturers or his tutors talking he doesn’t know because he’s never done a reading in his life. his test papers are a mixture of perfectly answered questions and blank spaces. his eidetic memory isn’t common knowledge so most of the foxes assume he goes somewhere else to study. jokes on them he’s up on the roof sending neil one-to-three-word texts and smoking
- kevin is such a nerd that he probably secretly likes studying. he goes over a lot of readings and delights in getting good grades. his highlighter is his best friend. he probably studies sat in the court because it’s combining his two true loves – history and exy. wymack probably makes him coffee too, but neither of them talk about it
- nicky just. represses the fact that he needs to study until like a few days before, and then he spends every spare minute obsessively trying to learn everything for the course while crying. once he’s finished he sleeps for twenty-four hours. no one knows how he’s passing. no one knows how he’s still alive. not even him
anyone wanna talk to me about teenage andrew like… !!!
- oversized hand-me-down clothes
- ugly af glasses that he keeps “forgetting”
- refuses to eat anything but junk food and sweets
- just had his first Gay Awakening TM and lowkey hates himself
- up all night coming up with the perfect comebacks to people who were rude to him five years ago
- stares blankly at the teachers when they ask him questions but gets full marks on all his exams
- internally narrates his life like it’s a documentary on the idiocy of human beings
- thinks he’s being sneaky about his new smoking habit (he’s not)
- spends hours on wikipedia looking up the most ridiculous shit
- still salty that he never got his hogwarts letter, but shh
- categorically hates exercise (or anything that requires effort on his part lbh) but is very gay for athletes esp. the runners
- textbook stroppy teen when he forgets to be blank faced and ~unaffected
- plays around with his lighter because he thinks it makes him look edgy
- puppy fat ghndndnfnhgffn
- drinks coffee because he is Mature but can only get it down if it’s at least 30% sugar and 50% cream
Russian study sessions and integration:
- Neil attaching vocab words onto furniture (bonus points for when he starts doing it at the court too)
- counting off their workout reps in Russian
- accidental introductions of new words via surprised shouts (usually rude ones snarled during heated games or practices)
you can’t tell me andrew didn’t learn swears quickly- Andrew dumping his person onto Neil’s flashcard covered bed with a bored look and quizzing him
- small study sessions at the back of the bus
- some vocab drilling but mostly they talk about the area they’re passing through, or they might play car games–picture I spy
- I like to think that they have more heart-to-hearts like the one in tkm, just Neil passing the time telling Andrew little stories of him and his mom. Or that during Andrew’s 5th year when the team is on the way home from distant away games Neil can’t help but reflect on what’s going to happen with Andrew leaving and he just needs to say something but there are too many foxes in the bus at that point
- during exy games when they’re both on the bench, they take turns narrating the game (well, Neil narrates, and Andrew picks out mistakes the other goal keeper makes)
- covert dirty talk
there’s no getting around it- Andrew wanting to annoy/unnerve the more grating freshman so he picks up the habit of staring at them and talking to Neil about their weekend plans
- kid gets back to his dorm later like, “do u think minyard’s out to get me?” “bro, maybe you shouldn’t be a dick to his cousin” “bro, I didn’t even start that” “…dude”
- having alone time where they’re committed to only speaking with e/o in Russian:
- imagine that they’re just hanging out on the roof: Neil’s head resting against Andrew’s thigh, one of Neil’s hands is holding a burning cigarette while his other is curled up near his face, thumb rubbing circles into Andrew’s knee cap
- (they’re never deep conversations: Andrew mentioning what Bee is going as for halloween, Neil talking about potential players he and Wymack are scouting, Andrew reporting on his sparing lessons with Robin, getting up to date on their teammate’s bets, Neil filling in Andrew on the upperclassmen’s Real Life adventures)
- It’s comfy and relaxed so they let their sentences lag. depending on the day they might be left unfinished for lack of energy
- save for when they’re left unfinished because Neil can’t quite find the word that he’s looking for
- Neil has a habit of squinting at his smoke trail when he forgets a word, a tail Andrew picks up on, smoothing his hand through Neil’s hair as he tries to fill in the blanks
why is no one talking about how Kevin Day speaks Japanese too and can probably watch anime with no subtitles nbd,, i mean if you think he isn’t into sports animes then you are wrong because he has secretly seen every episode of Yuri On Ice, i bet he even works out with his earphones in so he can listen to “History Maker” on repeat
No way in hell is there no sports anime about exit and no way in hell is there no character loosely modeled after Kevin and now way in fucking hell does he not follow this show religiously and tweets @ the creators in fluent Japanese with his thoughts on every episode which they absolutely retweet every single time.
“no, Nicky, of course the show isnt about me?? Look, it’s about this guy named kyle?? And he’s trying to beat his arch rival Ricky, see,, they used to be best friends but Ricky was holding Kyle back so Kyle switched teams. No, nicky, nooo,, Kyle isn’t even like me at all!! Look, see?? Our tattoos aren’t even the same???”
“Sure, kevin”
Listen I see your tags but I raise you: Kevin is far too aware of his own image (and the creators are nowhere near subtle enought) for him to not understand that it’s supposed to be him and Riko but he watches it anyway because there’s nothing quite as entertaining as seeing Tetsuji “emotions are for the weak” Moriyama’s calm but intimidating demeanor be overdramaticized beyond all reason or comedic effect.
They make a second season about Neil’s freshman year rivalry between the Foxes and the Ravens and Kevin ropes the entire team into watching it with him and they make elaborate drinking games for every episode. Do not think that the Foxes wouldn’t hold the actions of anime characters against their real-life counterparts. They would. Kevin films it all. This is what power feels like.
