    Summary

    He isn’t supposed to feel like this anymore. He’s supposed to be the freak. The head case. The one who hits hard enough to protect, to get his way.  The one you have to skirt around and watch out for. Too crazy and too strong to touch. How can he be someone who protects Kevin like this? How can he square his shoulders and keep his promises when even now this is what he is? This is what he will always be.

    Andrew and Neil think of each while apart.

    Summary

    According to the team, Andrew is currently losing a custody battle for Neil against a sport invented by the mafia.

    It’s a running joke in the locker room: Neil cares about Exy, and then, distant second, he cares about breathing. Andrew is somewhere on the list, probably below the new backliner spread Kevin found.

    Andrew doesn't bother correcting them. He knows the difference between a distraction and a destination. He knows Neil runs until his lungs burn to keep the ghosts quiet, but he also knows exactly whose bed Neil crawls into when the adrenaline fades.

    (Or: 5 times the team thought Neil loved the sport more than the goalkeeper, and one time Neil made the hierarchy terrifyingly clear.)
