Meet the Foxes: Neil Josten
He wouldn’t die a lie.

“i wasn’t staring at you,” kevin defends himself. at least not intentionally. if his gaze happened to wander in neil’s direction while he was semi spacing out, that’s not his fault. “i was thinking.”
it’s just been few hours since they clashed in the court, and still, the adrenaline hasn’t washed off completely even when neil took a shower afterwards.
‟ And I suppose STARING might be a requirement ? ❜ he goads involuntarily, sarcasm already underway right after catching himself. kevin is not the enemy here; no one else is, after ... well, the finals. he’s becoming more aware on how he’s picking up andrew’s unpleasant moods quicker; except his own temper flares brighter, adding fuel to the fire.
so neil takes a deep breath and exhales slowly as he cools his head down ——
‟ FORGET IT . ❜ and the brunet shrugs. ‟ You’ve been thinking too long. Don’t hurt yourself. ❜
‟ 𝙃𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙨... 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴'𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄. 𝗦𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗴𝗼. ❜
a beat passes by. mouth curls , taking a second of decision in what he has to say. counting in different languages , up and down , always helped in cooling his head. not this time.
‟ Didn’t know you’re banning GERMAN in this house. ❜ nonchalance does not equal indifference , though he takes note of his ... friend’s preferences of what he’d like to hear from stefan. however , there’s no promises; for stefan is still trying to work out being ... stefan. ‟ Next thing I know, you’ll ban me from CURSING and pose a curfew for me ... ❜

“what makes you think i have something to say?” & since when has he needed anyone’s permission to say what’s on his mind?
‟ Anyone can feel your eyes digging in their back whenever you think they’re not looking. ❜ if it sounds like an accusation, so be it; he’s had enough of kevin’s bullshit of the day. ‟ Whatever I did wrong, let’s just get it over with. ❜
current name usage concept :

it almost feels like a secret. An admittance to some secret he wasn’t supposed to know. Much like how he would share a look with strangers who just knew the brig broken letters that hung over his head like a dark shadow.
“ I don’t mind. “ A shrug ─ he really didn’t. “ It’ be nice, you know, to share the load. “
‟ I’m trying to be a GOOD FRIEND . ❜ the words are FOREIGN on his tongue, too far-fetched in a vocabulary of self-preservation and necessary detachment. much like the language prohibited and would have his mother round him up for even suggesting the thought. too bad that she was too late and for that, he sported bruises much larger and more purplish than the usual.
though there is FONDNESS present, one that he’s unaware of its implication whereas opposite to what he thought he means. ‟ And you’re making it hard for me. It makes sense, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. ❜
