Summary
Todd, mustering the very last bits of courage that he has, takes matters into his own hands and pulls Neil in closer. He shuffles closer, so they sit chest to chest with their arms wrapped around each other. Todd tightens his grip on Neil’s flannel and shoves his face into the crook where Neil’s shoulder and neck meets. It takes less than a second for Neil to reciprocate, his own grip around Todd’s torso getting stronger and exhaling loudly as he rests his head over Todd’s shoulder.
Finally, Todd feels Neil stop shivering. Somewhere in the background, he thinks that if he listens really hard, he can hear their heartbeats synchronising.
“Did anyone ever tell you you’re a horrible hugger?” Todd mumbles, muffled by the fabric of Neil’s shirt. Neil’s body shakes with laughter and Todd can feel the rumble of it in his chest.
“Only you,” Neil whispers back.
Todd thinks the warmth between them is enough to burn the both of them.
A study in the association of warmth and cold with Todd and Neil's relationship.

Summary
Every time Neil and Mr. Keating compared Todd to Walt Whitman, it would sink into his chest a little bit more. When Todd finds himself without Neil, the nickname still surrounds him and only now does it make him wonder.
The nickname makes him think of Neil, and to think of Neil when he's gone makes Todd sick.
A short study in the concept of comparison.
