You live in a world where each lie creates a scar on the liar’s body. The bigger the lie, the deeper and larger the mark. One day, you meet someone that only has one scar; it is the biggest one you have ever seen.

#i know everyone’s tagging this with tfc but can you imagine!!! neil’s life would get so so so much harder#he would be all but mute when he rolled up on the foxhole court#it used to be that his lies were easy to explain away like. everyone lies. he could blame it on kid stuff#but he starts running out of room on his body when he’s 10#he nods or shakes his head when asked direct questions#he slips up and says he’s fine and a scar ravages his neck deep#his father gives him 10 bruises for every lie scar he gets#his identities are carefully based in truth#he gets really really good at lying by omission#he’s not just embarrassed and worried about his scars anymore he’s terrified of his own body#when neil closes his eyes and gives andrew truths it feels liberating like nothing else he’s ever felt#the more comfortable he gets the more he talks#one day he says he’s fine and nothing happens#(except that dan cries and andrew’s thigh presses into his and wymack claps him on the shoulder and says ‘i’m glad’) (via ravenvsfox)
