hc that neil and aaron don’t particularly like eachother, but have a silent agreement that they will stand up for each other if the need arises.
The first time it happens they get put on PR together & someone starts asking aaron questions about drake, and neil completely shuts it down - aaron does not thank him, but they both know he appreciates it.
Eventually, some reporter says something about baltimore/ neil’s scars & before anyone can react aaron butts in and completely destroys the person. The other foxes are VASTLY confused because they know they don’t like each other, but let it slide because it’s not hurting anyone.
so aaron & neil slowly become eachother’s #1 defenders (and study together sometimes), while still saying they avidly hate each other (the dynamic doesn’t change, but the energy about it does)
