argumentative antithetical dream girl

Kevin suddenly getting to see Andrew and Neil making out, being vulnerable with each other and consequently also him, and having no idea why he has been granted this privilege.

He just thinks it’s an mix of Andrew being used to keeping him close by as well as his new relationship with Neil. Once Andrew learns how to live without a threat on Kevin’s life, he will leave rooms with Neil in tow or send Kevin away, right?

Except that doesn’t happen. Andrew plays—actually plays in their games—and Neil does not only join him when he rewatches Exy matches, but for his weekly history documentaries as well. Kevin knows he couldn’t care less about historical accuracies, but Neil still entertains him with questions and listens to his rants.

And then it escalates further. Andrew starts using excuses of his old injury to massage Kevin’s hand. Neil presses his thigh and arm against Kevin’s when he leans against him to watch TV. Fingertips touching the small of his back, brushing against his tattoo in a sly remark, or digging in his waist when they’re disagreeing with him.

They kiss closer and closer to his position on the bench, beanbag, bed, until they are right next to him—basically pressing against him as he can listen to the wet noises of their kisses, and the slightest of moans out of Neil’s mouth.

One time, Neil is sitting on top of Andrew as they are making out. He must have been unsteady on top, because his hand grips Kevin’s shoulder. But even after he stabilizes himself, he keeps his hand there, rhythmically squeezing until it’s time for practice.

Another time, Andrew pulls Kevin with them by the hem of his shirt. Once the door to their dorm is closed, he presses him against the door with a hand on his chest, Neil pressed right next to him, and starts making out with Neil.
