    Summary

    It’s not fair. It’s all Neil can think, childish and foolish and true. It’s not fair. It’s not fair. It never has been. The tickets weigh as much as a coffin lid, as the lie that is Neil Josten. Kevin’s hand is still on top of his and his fingers tremble. Neil stares. It’s his left hand, a solid reminder of the bastion of cruelty these tickets are going to lead him to.
    “I’m sorry.” Kevin whispers.
    Neil barks a bitter laugh that ravages his throat and tucks the tickets into his pocket. “Yeah, me too.”

    Or:
    Nathaniel Wesninski dies in a basement in Baltimore. Neil Josten wakes up on the bleachers in Millport. One of them still has to get Jean out of the Nest.

    Summary

    Everyone knows that Jean Moreau has rules about being touched. It’s to be expected, having grown up in a cult where bodily autonomy was nonexistent and boundaries were punished. Jean has rules about who, where, and when people are allowed to touch him.

    So why does Neil Josten seem to be the exception?

    // Or five times Neil touches Jean around others and once when they’re alone.

    Chapter POV's: Renee, Coach Rhemann, Jeremy, Abby, Kevin, plus Neil.

    Summary

    His fingers reach out to graze Jean’s arm, attempting to shock him out of his spiral that Neil knows threatens to creep in. He wants desperately to smooth out the crease between his brows, to draw the larger man into his arms and make sure no one can ever reach him again, to keep him safe in the circle of his protection and pretend the world doesn’t want them dead for things far beyond their control. In moments like this, Jean looks so much older than his nineteen years, scarred by horrors and pain that Neil knows he didn’t deserve, and Neil feels so much younger, frightened and anxious at the prospect of not being able to keep him safe, to hold him close to his chest and never let go.

    “You’ll be okay,” he rasps, voice rough like sandpaper grates over each word. “You’ll be okay.”

    -

    Or, Neil Josten and Jean Moreau escape from the Nest, and into the waiting arms of the Palmetto Foxes.
