Chapter Text
1.
Neil was having a pretty good day. Until movie night came up.
Neil loves the movie nights with his foxes, but this one was shit. Ok, that might be a bit of an exaggeration but still, he's aloud to be dramatic if he wants too.
He ate dinner with Andrew and Kevin then went to the girls room to watch the movie. They were the last ones to get there and Dan opened the door for them.
"Hey Neil, Andrew, Kevin!" She said, hugging Neil because she didnt want to risk being stabbed (Andrew) or blatantly rejected (Kevin).
Neil rolled his eyes but hugged Dan back nevertheless. Andrew just stood there with his arms crossed and stared at them, clearly impatient.
Dan moved aside to let them in and they sat down with Kevin on a couch next to Nicky and Andrew with Neil between Andrew's legs. Touching, but just barely.
"What should we watch?" Nicky asked the group. Matt, Dan, Allison, Renee, Aaron, and Kevin all started talking at once and then arguing with each other for a good 10 minutes.
Finally, they decided on Mean Girls because apparently it's a 'classic'. Neil personally thought it was really dumb but didnt say that outloud because Nicky and Allison would spend an hour trying to convince him how amazing it is.
Around the part where Katy said, "On October 3rd, he asked me what day it is. 'It's October 3rd'"
"Thats really dumb, why does she care that the guy asked her what day it was? People ask me what day it is all the time and I don't remember who asked me or what day it was." Neil cut in, because he was tired of just watching this nonsense.
"Neil what do you mean? It's very important for plot and..." Nicky started rambling about how important it was but Neil tuned him out.
After a few minutes of this, Neil said "Ok, ok Nicky. Its important you can stop now."
"Do you understand that its important for plot?" Nicky asked. Neil sighed and said, "Yes Nicky, it's important for the plot." Nicky grinned and turned the movie back on.
About an hour into the movie, Andrew nudged him with his foot and Neil looked over at him, confused. Andrew put his hand right above Neil's head in a silent question. Neil nodded, and Andrew started playing with his hair.
Neil looked over at the movie and leaned back into Andrew's legs, a small smile on his face.
When the movie was over, Neil had decided two things. One, it was a stupid movie. And two, Regina George was a bitch.
"Neil, what did you think?" Allison asked, since Neil was the only one who hadnt watched the movie. "It was stupid. But it was ok, I guess." Neil said, picking up some of the snacks and putting them away.
"What do you mean it was stupid? That's one of the best movies ever Neil! You have to have liked it more than that. "
Neil rolled his eyes, shaking his head. He picked up more snacks and put them away.
Allison walked up to him and said, "Neil, that movie is a classic, what do you not like about it?"
"Everything. It was stupid and Regina was a bitch. Kinda reminded me of someone." He gave her a pointed look at that one.
"Ugh, you need to be more in pop culture. Also I am a bitch and I'm proud of it. You're a bitch too." She said rolling her eyes.
"Whatever." Neil said, "Anyway, you're taller then me-" Allison snorted and said "Its not that hard to be taller than you."
Neil glared at her, "Let me finish my sentence. Can you hand me the... um.. the.." He pointed vaguely at the cabinet
"Sure, the what?" She said and walked over to the cabinet.
"The.. um.. nożyczki. I forgot the word in English." Neil said, switching to Polish, his first language.
(nożyczki = scissors)
"Um, I have no idea what you just said. What language was that?" Allison asked, confused.
"It was Polish. English isn't my first language." Neil replied, trying to remember the word in English.
"It isn't?" Andrew and Allison said at the same time, then glared at each other. "What is your first language then?" Allison asked.
"It's Polish. I'm half Polish and half British." Neil said, uncomfortable about the way Andrew was looking at him.
"Wait, so your not American at all?" Allison asked.
"No?"
"But you have an American accent."
"Ok? That doesn't make me American, I've just lived here for a while."
Allison stared at him for a few seconds before asking, "Ok, what did you want me to hand you?"
"The things you cut with." Neil said pointing at it. "The knifes? Why do you need a knife, are you gonna turn into Andrew and stab someone?"
"No! The things you cut bags with and open stuff." Neil replied, annoyed.
"The scissors?" Allison asked. "Yes, the scissors." Neil said, relived that she finally got it. Allison reached up and grabbed the scissors that were for some reason on the top shelf. Although they were probably there so someone didn't get stabbed.
She handed them to Neil so he could open a bag of frozen strawberries he somehow got his hands on.

Later, when Neil and Andrew were alone on the roof, Andrew asked, "Why didn't you ever say English was your second language?"
"It never came up" Neil said, "But now you know." Andrew glared and took a drag of his cigarette then said, "143%."
Neil smiled and stole Andrew's cigarette, taking a drag himself. "Yes or no, Neil?" Andrew wispered in his ear.
"Yes, always yes." Neil replied and Andrew kissed him before he could even finish his sentence. Andrew licked Neil's lips and Neil opened his mouth and let Andrew explore it for the hundredth time.
Neil moaned into the kiss and Andrew climbed into his lap, after receiving a "yes" from Neil.
They made out for another half hour before they decided to go inside and go to bed. (They totally went to bed)
