    Summary

    “Aaron! Wake!”

    “Hey,” Aaron answered his twin, who was crouched at his side and staring at him. “I bought ice cream, it’s on the bag.”

    “What the fuck, Aaron!” Andrew hissed, his cold eyes not leaving him for a second. “What happened?”

    “Accident.”

    Or: Only they would need an accident to take another step to healing.

    Summary

    Aaron Minyard only has three very big secrets. Ones he would protect from prying eyes until he drew his final breath. Hidden feelings that run so deep sometimes he questions if they’re even really secrets at all, because he knows them so intimately it’s a wonder nobody else can tell.

    Occasionally he’ll sit alone in his dorm room, mind quieted by long hours of studying, face lit up by the headache-inducing blue light of his laptop and just… let the secrets bubble up to the surface. Let them rest beneath his outermost skin.

    or

    Aaron being so deep in his sadboy pondering he falls in love with Kevin without even realizing it

    Summary

    Aaron is very aware of how human Kevin is, in that he doesn’t buy into the myth and legend and knows the man too well to put him on a pedestal. But it’s a step further here. When Kevin dances, he looks like he’s still figuring it out. He looks like what he is: twenty years old, trying his best, wanting to feel something else for a moment.

    Or maybe Aaron’s just projecting.

    “You said you wanted to dance,” Kevin says, and Aaron’s eyes snap back to his face. They hadn’t strayed very far; just down the line of Kevin’s body, watching the way he moved. It’s the freedom, Aaron thinks. Like when Kevin dances, it’s because he wants to do it more than he wants to be good at it. There aren’t many things he can say that about, when it comes to Kevin Day.

    He’s here. He’s alive, and Andrew is alive, and Nicky is alive, and Kevin and Katelyn and Wymack and Abby. And Matt and Randy; the girls too. Even Neil.

    All these people are alive, even if they’re not okay. And Drake is dead. And Aaron made that happen.

    —it's the end of the year, all of kevin’s usual dogs are gone, and aaron has a lot to think about.

    Summary

    There’s something fierce in the set of Aaron’s expression. Like he’s shoring himself up, gearing for a fight. Kevin’s seen him in a fight before. Kevin’s seen him grinning ferociously on the court, Kevin’s seen him covered in blood and holding a racquet in trembling hands, Kevin’s seen him dust-high on Eden’s dancefloor—

    Kevin’s seen Aaron, and never quite managed to stop.

    “What’s it?” Aaron asks, voice rough, eyes guarded. He’s so untrusting, even right now, even right here, but maybe that’s the only way you make it to twenty-two when you’re Aaron Minyard. Always waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    Aaron is still looking over there, and Kevin doesn’t want to be the Son of Exy right now; he wants to be the boy who Aaron complains about psych majors to and offers bites of his pancakes to and grins up at over a scraped knee and grazed palms from the parking lot tarmac.

    —MAKE WAY FOR THE SON OF EXY: just a boy, wanting things he can’t have
