![]() ![]() Kevin gave her a firm handshake and Nicky hugged her. June was at least five inches taller than Neil but she still seemed nervous when he introduced himself. ![]() The first to arrive was June Pierce the new backliner sub. They reached the airport and waited inside by the 'Arrivals' sign. Andrew and Neil climbed into Andrews car and set off with Kevin driving the car behind them. The last girl was coming in a week along with the rest of the Foxes, but they needed two cars. When they finished eating Nicky got Kevin and they left for the airport.įour of the six new recruits were landing around the same time, and the fifth was already at Palmetto though Neil hadn't met him yet, he was Abby's nephew. They were in the middle of making sandwiches when Andrew got back, so Neil got out more bread and put together an extra sandwich for Andrew who took it wordlessly. Neil and Nicky grabbed the bag of grapes from the counter but put them back when they realized most of the grapes were squishy and made sandwiches instead. Neil laughed and slid farther out of Nicky's reach. Nicky grabbed another pillow and hit Neil in the face. ![]() Kevin blew out an annoyed breath but didn't argue Neil studied Nicky, "When did you grow a spine?" ![]() "That's not nearly enough," Kevin hissed crossing his arms over his chest, "The team is finally starting to become mediocre and you decide that's an okay time to leave."īefore Neil could respond Nicky threw a pillow a Kevin's head, "Would you stop being horrible for once in your life Neil and I are having a nice conversation." Neil turned to face him and grinned at Kevin's familiar bad attitude, "We found a court and played every couple days, I ran every day." Those were the parts that made the trip perfect, his perfect moments with Andrew were short, but Neil was okay with short.Įventually Kevin left the bedroom, "Did you practice at all?" What he told Nicky was unimportant, Neil decided to keep the best parts about the trip to himself, the part where Andrew held Neil's hand in the car, the part where Neil saw Andrew give a short but genuine smile to a dog they met at one of their hotels, the part where Andrew let Neil touch his waist for a brief moment. Neil left the bedroom and joined Nicky on the couch as soon as Neil sat down Nicky launched into detailed stories from his trip to Germany Neil shared his own stories. Neil was used to short conversation's with Andrew by now so the clipped declaration was nothing new. He and Andrew had found community courts to practice on every few days but Andrew said he wasn't allowed to obsess so he was itching to be in his own gear on his own court again.Īndrew shot a bored look to Kevin then to Neil, "I have to go see Betsy, I'll be back before we have to leave." They were supposed to take them to the Foxhole Court for an introductory practice and Neil couldn't wait to be back on the court. Neil and Andrew dumped their bags on Andrews bed and decided not to unpack immediately, besides they need to be at the airport in an hour to collect all the new recruits. He looked up only long enough to say "You're back" before returning to his laptop. Neil side stepped Nicky and walked to the bedroom, the door was open and Kevin was on his bed with his laptop open. Neil rolled his eyes but smiled, he had missed Nicky while they were away. "Yes and I've spent those entire two days on the court getting bullied." Neil gave Nicky a questioning look, "Nicky you've only been back from Germany for two days." "I'm so glad you're back," Nicky said when he stepped back from Andrew, "Kevin is insufferable without you." Nicky smothered Neil with affection and greetings before giving Andrew a hesitant hug which Andrew did not fight off to Neil's surprise. Nicky sat on the couch inside but was immediately on his feet when he saw them come in. When they reached the third floor Neil grabbed one of Andrews two bags from him so Andrew could unlock the door to their suite. They got their bags out of the trunk and set off inside. Now they pulled into a parking space next to the community car Neil had used his binder money to buy the monsters.Īfter a short moment Andrew opened his car door and hopped out, Neil did the same. They stayed a few nights with Matt, Dan, and Matt's mother, but other then that they hadn't seen the Foxes for over a month. They bounced around finding places to visit where neither of them had been. The suggestion baffled Neil at first and he thought Andrew was joking, but a week later they said goodbye to they're team and left. After the championship game against the Edgar Allen Ravens, Andrew had suggest he and Neil take a trip. They were in the parking lot outside Fox Tower. It took Neil a moment to remember where they were, but Andrews voice centered Neil, "We're here." Andrew woke Neil with a slight tap of his shoulder. ![]()
