    Summary

    “That's not what I meant, don't take that the wrong way,” he says. His capacity for gentleness does not lie in words and Neil's knowledge of that is the only reason the line doesn't go dead.

    Summary

    Wymack’s voice trails off, words stuttering to an abrupt stop. All heads turn, slowly following the path of Wymack’s gaze.

    Andrew spots him almost immediately - hair as black as night, curls gentle and full atop his head. He’s got a bruise the size of a baseball around his eye, freckles spattered out around it like an explosion of stardust. His eyes are the colour of the sky, cresting with storm clouds.

    His hands are in his pockets as he walks by, fisted around something. He doesn’t look at any of them as he passes, eyes downcast.

    Andrew’s never seen him before.

    “What the hell happened to your face, Neil?” Wymack shouts, voice startling in the aftermath of silence. Neil doesn’t stop, plundering by the team and their coach without a second-glance.

    __

    In which Wymack adopts Neil at the age of 13, after the world has already chewed him up and spit him back out a few times over.

    The Foxes are still the Foxes, and Neil and Andrew are still destined to find each other.

    Summary

    The most frustrating part was that Neil didn’t even have to try. He never thought about spoiling Andrew; he just…did it.
