can you even imagine having someone that you barely know care about you so much that he’s willing to put his entire life and his own happiness on hold to take care of your ass for years,,, buy you a fucking house, put you through school, work 2 jobs to make ends meet while you and your punk ass brother disrespect and insult him on a regular basis,,,,like Nicky really fucking did that,,,, he took Andrew and Aaron in without even hesitating,,,, he didnt have to ,and life would’ve been kinder to him if he had stayed in Germany, but he saw his cousins and he saw what they needed and he fucking delivered ,,, and he never asked for anything in return,, Nicky Hemmick is so good,,
Nicky at some point, possibly joking, possibly not,
mentioning how damn disappointing it
is that Neil and Andrew don’t have pet names for each other. Like, don’t they
know that’s the ultimate height of affection?
And like Andrew thinks this over for two seconds and turns
to Neil and says, completely deadpan, “what do you think, sweetheart?”
Neil doesn’t miss a beat when he says, “sounds like a great
idea, darling.”
And so this starts positively the most terrifying thing the
Foxes have ever seen. Neil and Andrew’s pet name war. Andrew pulls out Honey Bunny while they’re out for dinner
one night and nearly causes Nicky to choke to death on his spaghetti, but Neil
gets to drop Snookum in the middle of
a team meeting and causes Wymack to go speechless.
It’s awful. Nicky has never heard somebody sound so close to
committing murder while calling their boyfriend High King of my heart (Neil maintains he should get extra points
for creativity on that one) and he is very,
very, very sorry he ever brought it up but now it’s too late because Neil
and Andrew think it’s hilarious and they will
not stop.
Andrew: Yes, that’s what we’re doing. In our very limited free time, we took a class on a very outdated, very unnecessary form of communication just so we could talk about you in front of you.
