Aaron knew full well that Andrew wouldn’t react like Nicky to his homophobic comments, so he usually went with glares, eyerolls and scoffs which Neil ignored and Andrew regarded with stony looks of his own. With Neil and Andrew, Aaron didn’t have such an easy time.
He had heard Nicky talk about it on the phone with Erik several times, trying to excuse Aaron’s behaviour, but failing to hide the sadness and lingering, old guilt in his voice. Nicky was good at ignoring those remarks, rolling his eyes and moving on, but Neil knew how much it hurt Nicky inside. The other Minyard had never been a big fan of Nicky being gay and had often told him rudely to “be less of a fag” and other equally nice things. Noone wanted to disturb the peace those two broken boys had found with each other. The first time Andrew had put his arm around Neil with the team around, Nicky had almost fallen out of his chair, but Matt and the girls had silenced him before he could even say anything about it. He took what he could get, and was satisfied with it. He knew Andrew had to find his own way into this kind of soft intimacy, and Neil was ready to let him. It was never kisses or touches that lingered longer than some seconds, and Neil never pressured or asked for anything. Not out in public, of course, but their teammates were alright. Recently, Andrew had also started being slightly affectionate in front of others. Neil couldn’t imagine anything better than this. Their touches had moved from hard and hasty to sometimes soft, sometimes intense, and sometimes so hot that it had both of them scalding inside. The “I hate you”s had become less and less hard until they were soft enough that they both knew ‘hate’ was just the subsitute for another four letter word both of them didn’t trust enough to say out loud. Their relationship had evolved gradually.
Life was easier now with Riko dead, Neil’s head out of every sling, and Andrew perpetually at his side, always the unmoved, stable rock. The location stayed the same because they liked knowing their way around the vacation spot in the Smokies, and the pleasant memories of their first trip there a year ago still lingered. PROMPT ME AFTG STUFF <3 (I also write smut, so…įox vacation was something that became a tradition. Hope u like it boo <3 also, whoops, this got longer than expected. I love this prompt! it’s so fluffy! :) even with Aaron being a dick haha. I love yours fics, I think they're great :) You can do it from whoever's pov you want, I'm not picky. I saw a head canon once where Aaron walked in on Andriel in the kitchen in the morning, and Andrew was like hugging Neil from behind and basically falling back to sleep on him as Neil makes coffee? Bonus if the other foxes are around but neither of them care. Anonymous asked: Hi! If you are still doing prompts.
