“My child is fine” your child runs a AFTG blog on tumblr
neil going around the baltimore hotel and checking the drawers to make sure nothing was left behind is too pure. they may have adopted him, but he still looks out for his own. and he also definitely thinks they’re not responsible enough to remember to check
the real reason seth had to die wasn’t so that the team could all work together and make it to the finals, bc honestly i bet they could’ve done that with seth there. no, it’s because he was way too hetero
okay hear me out:
mary and neil always had tea on hand
yes, i know they only packed the essentials
tea is essential
they would cram it into their duffle bags wherever it fit, and made sure to never run out
the only mugs they used were travel mugs, because regular ones would break too easily
tea became neil’s comfort drink over the years
it was something constant in his life, something that was always there for him after a long day or sleepless night
he guzzled tea after he’d been shot
his mom made it better than he did
their travel mugs were warm and full in the cup holders when mary was bleeding out
neil had to reach over them to shake her shoulders, trying to keep her awake when her eyes so desperately wanted to flutter closed
he tried to pass mary her mug to keep her conscious, tried to get her to drink just a sip mom, please, you can do it
the mug slipped out of her hands, covered in blood
neil let it burn in the flames of the car
he doesn’t drink tea anymore
but it doesn’t matter. he has a new comfort drink. andrew makes the coffee every morning
andrew makes it better than he does
neil has had countless dramatic main characters outside of the series - namely while staring out of a window as it’s pouring rain - and that’s just a fact
andreil having chocolate fondue with strawberries to satisfy neil’s love for fruit and andrew’s love for sweet things
neil. buddy. my guy. you got through christmas at evermore with riko moriyama, but concerned teammates are what you can’t survive. sir, wtf

hc that andrew smashed all of bee’s glass figurines at one of their first sessions by throwing his hot chocolate mug at them, just to see how she’d react. when she remained calm and pleasant and wasn’t phased, he finally started to warm up to her ever so slightly and he has been building her collection back up ever since
seth gordon spent all his college athlete years believing his team was worthless and would never amount to anything and he died with those same beliefs and i will never get over it
daily aftg hc: people talk about neil falling asleep all the time around the foxes, but no. see, i raise you a more accurate andrew falling asleep. not with the foxes, obviously, but with neil. constantly. when they get their own apartment, neil cannot sit down with andrew for more than five minutes before he is a body pillow. when they're standing together waiting for coffee, and andrew is glaring at the sun like it's targeting him specifically, neil will just lightly touch his hair and let him lean against his chest. in about three seconds he's dead weight. neil has to fill out a whole mental checklist to make sure he has everything done (going to the bathroom, eating, etc.) before going to sit with andrew on the couch because he knows he won't be getting up until andrews done with his nap
