You hear this song out in the wild more often than you think

“Why couldn’t the pirates play cards? Because the captain was standing on the deck!”

dick "squirrel gifted with the body of a human being" grayson, that's who

bruce, trying to go over the proper names for his artillery: this is a military grade experimental grapple gun with an adjustable cable length

the name neil means champion; passionate

the name andrew means strong and manly

Think about Aaron, who turns to sports for escapism, who turns to drugs for happiness, who sits at the outskirts of every friend group in school because he joined in the middle of the academic year and was the short loner kid no one spoke to.

Think about Aaron, who has maybe seen Nicky once in his life, learning that Nicky too abandoned him to go to Germany for a fucking exchange program.

Think about Aaron, who learned of the existence of his twin by eavesdropping on a phone call, who’s mother didn’t give a damn about telling him about the brother, the mirror to his face, the boy who’s lived 40 miles away from him all his life. So close and yet so far.

The same pale, easily bruising skin, the same white-blond hair, the same curve to the letter ‘f’. The words 'fuck off’ scribbled on a torn and crumpled notebook paper.

but what he isnt used to looking for? good things. anything good, because he literally just does not expect good things to happen to him. nicky considers him a friend and has for months? blindsided. allison found it in her to forgive neil for his role in seths death without ever saying a word to him? shattered. the least emotionally expressive guy on the team has been progressively falling in love with him in such a way that multiple team members have already clocked it? never even considered the possibility until it was literally spelled out.
