Fluent Freshman - Part 22
PREVIOUS
Yâknow how sometimes you have something that you need to do or something that you know is going to happen but you just keepâŚputting it off? Like you know at some point it is going to happen but you put it off over and over and over and over again? Youâre getting increasingly anxious every time you put it off because you know it has to get done but you also know that the longer you wait the worse it is going to get. Finally, FINALLY, the anxiety is just a little too much and you end up having to deal with it.
You finally deal with it and the whole ordeal takes maybe five minutes tops and it was in no way shape or form worth the level of anxiety that you put yourself through. Like you worried about this for a good and long while and it wasnât even that bad?
That is currently how FF feels about being stabbed by Andrew Minyard.
This is what he was so worried about that he had lost sleep, had nightmares, had lost weight, and had exacerbated his stress ulcers over.
Getting stabbed wasnât anywhere near as bad as he had thought it was going to be. Maybe it was the fact that it was just a single stab wound instead of the Psycho levels that he had been imagining (Wow, showers were going to be so much less stressful now that he didnât have to confirm Andrew Minyardâs location before triple checking the lock). Maybe it was the fact that he is PUMPED full of adrenaline from his fights against Jackson and Romero but the stab wound didnât even really hurt at the moment.
This isnât even the worse thing that had happened to him this year!
That honor still goes to the joint winners of when his Step Family and mother found out that he had a full-ride to Palmetto and when he had tripped up the same step on the stairs at school three times in a row as people watched and laughed.
(Maybe also the solitary congratulations from his Grandma in regards to his graduation but FF doesnât let himself think about that, wonât think about it.)
He wouldnât necessarily call being in a state of âstabbedâ a pleasant time but Andrew was being so NICE about it.
âStop trying to sit up you fucking idiot!â Andrew shouts at him.
WellâŚ.Andrewâs version of nice.
(This is the same version of nice that he had misunderstood for months at this point. Maybe FF is just enough in shock from the stab wound in his stomach that heâs starting to grasp the basics in the difficult language of Andrew Minyardâs niceness.)
Andrew had gotten off the phone with 911 and then started pulling off his own jacket before draping it over FFâs upper body, wedging his phone between his shoulder and his ear, and then Andrew started to apply pressure to his stomach wound.
Ow.
That is not a great feeling. This stabbing may eke out past the great triple trip of March 2010.
âNo, take back your jacket. Youâll get cold if you donât have it on.â FF argues because his own jacket is barely doing the job. Maybe itâs the cold pavement of the alley, maybe itâs the blood loss, or maybe itâs the cooling sweat heâd worked up but he is shivering pretty badly.
A thought occurs to him as he feels the weird wet stickiness of his own blood sticking to Nickyâs shirt. âCan you help me get my jacket off?â He asks looking pleadingly at Andrew, âItâs my dadâs. I donât wanna mess it up with my blood.â He clarifies when Andrew looks at him like heâs a lunatic.
Except his second call must connect right then because Andrewâs answer is non-sensical to what FF had asked, âNeil, let Roland know the police and ambulances are en route.â Thereâs a brief pause and the pressure against his stomach increases as a muscle in Andrewâs jaw jumps. âSmith got stabbed.â He says and he looks angry, angrier than FF had ever seen Andrew when heâs talking to Captain Neil. There is another pause, more than likely Neil saying something or asking a question, âNo, it wasnât them.â Andrew grits out and the pressure on FFâs stomach hurts, âJust get out here, I need help with smith and making sure these two assholes donât go anywhere before the police come and grab them.â He says before he pulls one hand away from Smithâs stomach (wow he really is bleeding isnât he?) to hang up the phone.
Andrewâs gaze turns back to him fully, âYouâre not moving an inch Smith, your jacket can be cleaned.â He hisses. âNow stay still and donât fall asleep.â He orders.
Andrew seems stressed so FF complies. He canât help but notice how Andrewâs hands seem to be shaking as the press down on his stomach. He kind of wishes he had a pillow or something for his head because heâs starting to feel a little dizzy. Andrewâs jacket would be safer from his blood if it was a pillow instead of a blanket. Still, FF would sooner die than spit on any of Andrewâs current efforts to make him more comfortable.
He looks at the knife sticking out of his stomach. Well, he might die regardless of whether or not he spits on Andrewâs efforts.
He needs to take his mind off this.
âShould we take it out and pretend the Dundee knife stabbed me instead??â FF asks letting his mind go to the first thought in his head so that he could be distracted from his own mortality. âI think itâs still under the dumpster over there.â He moves to point one of his hands towards where the knife had remained throughout this entire ordeal.
Andrewâs knee pinned his arm before he could move it, âStop moving Smith.â Andrew reminded him before moving his knee. âWe have to leave the knife in. Youâll bleed to death otherwise.â Andrew reminds.
âI guess thatâs true, so do we just say that Romero got a handle on your knife and stabbed me?â He asks fighting his own shivers since heâs a little worried that any shaking on his part would just make the stab wound worse.
âI stabbed you Smith.â Andrew says looking at him with a furrowed brow.
âYeah, I know,â FF agrees, âbut weâre not going to say THAT to the cops.â He says and shock really is one HELL of a drug because he thinks he might have actually given Andrew Minyard an incredulous look with his atrophied face muscles. Itâs either Shock or the knowledge that even if he irritates Andrew, whatâs Andrew going to do about it?
STAB HIM?
âYouâre going to lie to the cops?â Andrew asks, âI STABBED you Smith.â Andrew repeats.
âYeah, I know!â FF repeats back, âYou stabbed me on ACCIDENT.â FF makes sure to use the same intonation that Andrew had used to emphasize the word Stabbed. âJackson wanted to stab me on PURPOSE. You saw that knife Andrew.â He tries to gesture towards the knife again but again Andrewâs knee pinned his hand.
He could use his other one but the reminder to stay still is enough.
âI still stabbed you.â Andrew says removing his knee again when itâs clear that FF wasnât going to try and gesture again.
âWell, if I was going to get stabbed by anyone, I guess Iâm glad my first time was with you.â Andrew letâs out a bark of a laugh that sounds more like it was punched out of him than anything, âHonestly, I donât think Jackson would have given me his jacket afterwards or try and help me keep my blood in my body.â He says and it feels like a victory (not a both hands in the air victory cry level victory but it was close) when Andrewâs face settled into one of faint amusement.
âProbably not.â Andrew agreed, âHe doesnât seem big on Aftercare.â He says.
FF doesnât know what that means but nods like he does, âSo, Romero got a hold of your knife during our tussle and heâs the one who stabbed me. Okay? Thatâs the story Iâm going to stick with no matter who asks me.â He looks Andrew in the eye.
âAlright Smith,â one of Andrewâs hands leaves his stomach and clasps around his shoulder and FF canât help but notice how neither of Andrewâs hands are shaking anymore. âWe can lie to the police.â He squeezes FFâs shoulder.
âNice.â He says and lets his head fall back onto the concrete. He hears a siren in the distance and hopes itâs coming for him.
They sit in silence for maybe 30 seconds before the door slams open and only Andrewâs hands on his stomach and shoulder keep him from shooting straight up in a panic. Captain Neil seemed to take in the scene at lightning speed but it was Andrew who spoke first, âYou left Aaron and Nicky with Roland?â He asks.
âYeah I did,â Captain Neil confirms and FF can see the moment that his eyes land on the knife handle jutting out of FFâs stomach, âAndrew, what are we going to tell the police?â Captain Neil asks and FF could already see Neil crafting a lie to cover Andrew. Thatâs one of the things that FF likes about Captain Neil and Andrewâs relationship. He thinks itâs nice that both of them have someone who no matter the circumstances would be there with a shovel to help bury a body. He even thought it was nice when he thought itâd be his body!
âThe second guy stabbed me.â The lie comes out smoothly which is good because he is planning on committing to it and Captain Neil blinks and looks at him, âHe got hold of Andrewâs knife during the tussle.â He adds.
Captain Neil looks to Andrew, âYou said it wasnât-â
âI guess Smith can lie to a liar.â Andrew interrupts.
Captain Neilâs eyes widen before a wicked grin spread across his face that made FF just a little uncomfortable but only because Andrewâs grip on his shoulder suddenly tightened and his nostrils flared the way they did before the two usually started speaking in Russian.
He can handle being stabbed, he cannot handle being in shock and pretending that he doesnât know what the two of them are saying to one another.
âCan you tell Nicky Iâm sorry I got blood on his clothes?â He asks and both Captain Neil and Andrewâs gaze snap away from eye-fucking each other. He looks down and the clothes are black and they havenât moved the knife so the wound is plugged still but yeah thereâs definitely blood seeping into the shirt, not to mention the hole. âCould you tell him Iâm sorry about that?â He asks.
âYou are going to tell him yourself Smith.â Andrew hisses, âYou are going to be fine. Do you understand me?â He asks before turning to Neil, âCan you bunch your jacket under his legs, itâs better to keep them higher than his head and heart?â He asks.
Aw.
Andrew is just so nice.
He canât BELIEVE he thought Andrew wanted to hunt him for sport.
Heâd apologize for thinking that but he thinks itâd be better to just let that particular misunderstanding go unmentioned.
Captain Neil bunches his jacket up and puts it under FFâs legs before he goes over to check on Romero and Jackson. In the corner of his eye he sees Captain Neil pause at the sight of Romero before moving over to Jackson.
âWhy is he in these?!â Neil asks baffled.
âItâs a weird sex alley Captain Neil! I donât know WHAT to tell you!â Yeah heâs definitely going into shock. The sirens are getting closer though so heâll probably be okay.
***
The cops all have a bit of a laugh about Jacksonâs cuffs until Neil tells them exactly who they are taking into custody. Neil could admit that heâs a little irritated with Andrew that at no point did the man clarify that the people who FF and Andrew were dealing with were Romero and Jackson.
Those are his fatherâs goons.
âThey were here for me.â Neil says to the police officer and Andrewâs hand tightens in his, âThey tried to take Smith because heâs my friend.â
They had decided on their story before the cops came. FF had no idea who any of these people were and was just defending himself. Heâd gone out to catch his breath in the alley when Jackson had shown up. Neil had asked how in the world FF had handled Jackson on his own but FF must have been getting kind of loopy from blood loss because all he said was, âHe told me to sing so I did.â
Neil can find out the full story later.
The important part is.
âJackson went after Smith but Smith won the fight.â Neil says looking at where the cops are trying to decide how to get the fuzzy pink handcuffs off of Jackson to get him in the far more secure police issued handcuffs.
âYour friend said that you and he took out Romero together. That Romero is the one who stabbed him with your knife.â He says.
âYes.â Andrew answers simply and Neil squeezes his hand as a reminder, âI went out to grab a smoke and Romero followed after me. Romero got hold of one of my knives in the struggle and stabbed Smith.â Andrew says with his usual deadpan affect.
âYeah thatâs what your friend Smith was saying too.â The officer says. âWell, Iâm sure the FBI will want to talk to you all further but for now itâs a pretty clear cut case of self defense and no one but your friend has any serious injuries.â The officer pats Neil on the shoulder and Neil manages not to shirk away from the touch. The officer retracts his hand, âYou guys are free to go tonight.â He says and turns back towards the car where a dazed Romero is in the back seat.
âWhere did they take Smith?â Andrew asks since theyâd been shepherded away from Smith the moment the ambulance had come. They hadnât been able to ask which hospital Smith was going to be taken to so they could go and get updates.
âLexington.â The cop answers, âGo on and see your friend. He seemed pretty loopy he kept talking about some beauty contest thing when he was getting loaded into the ambulance. Iâm sure heâll be a riot on painkillers.â The cop goes for a joke but it twists something in Neilâs stomach to think of FF so out of it that heâs talking nonsensically.
He feels Andrewâs hand stiffen in his and knows heâs not alone.
âThanks.â Neil says before they head towards the front of the club. The club had been emptied out when the cops had come so Roland was babysitting Aaron and Nicky for them while they talked to the cops and FF was loaded out to the hospital.
In a way itâs almost a blessing that Nicky and Aaron are both so blasted that they arenât comprehending any of whatâs going on. Theyâll have to drop them off back at the house before they go to the hospital. Theyâll beat Wymack there easily even after the interrogation and drop off.
FF had asked them to call Wymack to let him know what was going on âI gave him the rights to make health care decisions for me if Iâm incapacitated.â FF had said so Neil texts Wymack the hospital and the address after Andrew rattles it off for him.
âI donât like that you hid it from me.â Neil says in the car.
âThey wanted to kill you.â Andrew wonât apologize.
They still hold hands on the drive back to the Columbia house.
Andrew takes care of getting Aaron into bed while Neil helps Nicky.
Nicky who looks at Neil with a loopy smile and Neil hurts knowing that tomorrow when Nicky finds out about tonight and how he was too blasted to do anything to help FF.
Andrew and Neil reconvene in the Maserati and make their way to the hospital before either of them realize the issue.
âWhat is the name of the patient youâre looking for an update on?â The receptionist asks.
Both Andrew and Neil freeze.
Fuck.

andrew's such a fake idgafer no way anyone ever thought this man was apathetic or soulless like...he cares so fucking much??? he beat up four grown men trying to hurt nicky (as a teenager, btw). he enrolled them all in psu so aaron could become a doctor. he threatened nicky at knifepoint not to hurt or touch neil (and this wasn't about neil specifically this was because he's been there, he's been a victim, and he wouldn't want anyone else, even this strange know-nothing kid who he finds suspicious, to experience it). he says "spoil the ending for me, did you kill him?" when renee told him about the man who raped her and she can tell he cares about her answer; he cared to know if she escaped the man who abused her even though he barely knew her at all at the time. he punched matt (a guy like twice his size) for hitting kevin. he nearly choked allison to death for slapping aaron. he freaked out so badly when neil was kidnapped; he literally strangled kevin, lapped the campus multiple times, went through his bag and phone, checked hospital records, felt fear for the first time in years...and everyone's still just like "oh yeah he doesn't have a soul." what??? he yells at someone for the first time when bee has a heart attack. he didn't tell bee about neil even though he told her about so much else because he didn't want to risk her disapproval. he had to sit in silence for a few minutes just processing how easily aaron and bee accepted his relationship with neil. he said "everyone knows now, bee" after they all found out about dr*ke's assault because he couldn't stomach the fact that he thought his loved ones wouldn't trust him to protect them now that they thought he couldn't protect himself. he bought neil armbands to match his so he wouldn't have to see the scars his father's people made on his arms. he ran to neil like all of hell was at his heels when riko threatened him. who the fuck ever thought he was apathetic or soulless.
#the next time someone calls him soulless i might have to fight them#he cares!!! so much!!!#i need everyone to get this#he's just great at pretending#aftg#all for the game#andrew minyard#neil josten#kevin day#andreil#aaron minyard#twinyards#zoe yaps

i adore how quick the boys are to help crutchie when he needs it. no discussion, no pity, just support.
when morris pushes him over, it isn't jack (who is right there) who helps him up, neither is it race nor romeo, who we saw him interact with earlier in the song. it's albert who helps him up, and it's albert who carries him until he gets his crutch back. did they have a system? was it albert's job to carry crutchie when needed? was it because they're close friends, and we just never get to see it again? or was it that any of the newsies would have done it, but albert happened to be the closest?
when the nuns hand out food, kid blink and smalls don't hesitate before hoisting him onto their shoulders. jack and specs both place their hands on his back to ensure that he doesn't fall backwards. it's so smooth, so natural, like they've done it a million times before.
and note: i don't think crutchie interacts with any of those characters (albert, kid blink, smalls) at any other moment in the musical.
conclusion: crutchie is so so loved.
#also andrew keenan bolger is lowkey ripped so kudos to those two for being able to lift him so casually#and sky flaherty?? its one thing to pick up a buff man but its another to RUN with him in your arms#also the screenshot is excessively wide just bc iain young <3#also jfc sky's arms hooooly hell#ok i actually need to stop lmao#newsies#crutchie#crutchie morris#livesies#albert dasilva#kid blink#smalls newsies#also like ok logically i know it was probably just#albert finch race and jack are the ones who are near him already in that scene#and both jack and race have lines to say so its between albert and finch#and like yall know im iain youngs biggest fan but sky flaherty is just built different so makes sense that its him#they were prob just like ok sky is strong - great he'll do it#BUT LET ME DREAM AND OVERANALYSE OK#bc what is fandom if not excessively overthinking the tiniest details#if u read this far i love you <3#newsies analysis

thoughts on dave and aradia (<>)?
day 356
BIG fan tbh. in this house we love and respect timerails
truly yall read this log and tell me theyre not cute
#day 356#year 4#dave strider#aradia megido#aradave#homestuck#she really saw this kid and was like OH YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH YOUR MORTALITY?? :D#boy do i have some relevant life experience and wisdom to impart on THAT ISSUE SPECIFICALLY#and then she just. very gently and kindly makes the subject more approachable for ghostdave#the pesterlog i linked is literally my FAVORITE aradia moment. to me it is THE character defining moment for god tier aradia#yes she is being kind of ominous and trickstery at first#but it VERY quickly becomes clear shes got genuine concern for this kid she's had very little to do with up until this point#she really wants to connect with him over their shared time aspect stuff#and she really DOES care about how he feels about everything. she wants to help and she wants to put him at ease#because she KNOWS from experience that being dead and having to cope with what that means for you is like VERY UPSETTING AND TRAUMATIC#shes not just like. 'hee hee i think death is great and awesome because im edgy'#shes like 'no dude being dead is scary if you dont have anybody to explain this shit to you. so im going to explain it-'#'-and hopefully by the end of this conversation you will have some new things to feel relief and maybe even joy and excitement about'#'not just in spite of the death thing but BECAUSE of it'#i know shes spooky and has weirdgirl swag and we all love that about her but like#at her core she is a very KIND person. she may occasionally struggle to connect to people through the Death Special Interest Haze#but she WANTS to and when she DOES she is like. a genuinely very warm and comforting presence for her friends#ANYWAY. if andrew hussie or i guess james roach now want to give me an honorary doctorate for my 12+ years of intensive aradia studies#i will be here waiting patiently#timerails

I love that Neil and Kevin repeatedly rejected the Ravens after they figured out how horrible they were, of course
But what I love more is that Andrew rejected them even before people knew how horrible they were
Nobody had come out with anything against the Ravens yet (at least I donât think so?) and Andrew just decided he did not like them and joined the Foxes instead, and I respect that.
#aftg#all for the game#all for the gay#the foxhole court#the kings men#the raven king#andrew minyard#kevin day#neil josten#IT IS JUST SO GREAT#ALSO?? THE FACT THAT HIM AND KEVIN WERE BEST FRIENDS AFTER KEVIN TRANSFERRED?#Kevin: hi you should join us#Andrew: no.#Andrew: hi. you should join us.#Kevin: okay then

Fluent Freshman - Part 21
PREVIOUS
âWhat made you think taking on a mafia hitman was a good idea?â Andrew asks as he and FF were positioning themselves the best the could for an ambush on Romero.
Since, they APPARENTLY had time to talk.
Romero had gotten the text Andrew had sent him and INSTEAD of coming out right away to progress the whole SCHEME to kidnap and murder Andrewâs Junkie like any sensible goon Romero went to the BAR. Romero went to the Bar to get him and Jackson a round of CELEBRATORY drinks. Romero is still there at the bar waiting to be served by an INCREDIBLY nervous Roland if the number of exclamation marks and puking emojis is to be believed.
What the FUCK is there to celebrate?
These two idiots want to kidnap NEIL and so far the only thing Romero knows (thinks) that theyâve caught are two people that Neil would come for but even in Andrewâs text heâd been clear that he needed help getting âThe boyfriend and the new friendâ to talk let alone getting them to call âThe Wesninski Bratâ out. Andrew had hated typing the name in reference to Neil but it was the only thing the two ever referred to him as in their chats.
Is it some insane mental game that Romero thought he and Jackson were going to play on Andrew and Smith? Toasting to their torture so theyâd give up Neil? Who knows.
He realizes that FF hasnât answered him, his eyes focused on the door when Andrewâs thoughts had drifted. A reliable guy, steady in a pinch, and focused like most the others werenât.
(Andrew does not know that FF is thinking about how one would go about becoming a Mafia Hitman. What is that career path like? Do they show up at job fairs? Do you get a job as a short order cook at a business that acts as a front and see to much but youâre also the only one that knows the secret spaghetti recipe the boss likes so you have to sign yourself to the family? Are you out doing your own freelance crime and someone higher up sees your work one day and literally head hunts you? Is it like in Saw where you survive an ordeal and then-)
âSmith?â Andrew draws FFâs attention away from the door.
âI didnât think it was a good idea at any point.â FF says and Andrew is surprised by the admission and is more surprised by the twist of FFâs lips into a frown, âI just did what I thought I needed to do.â He adds.
(Andrew does not know that the twist of FFâs lips has more to do with the fact that he is realizing that Romero likely STILL has not washed his hands. Romero hasnât washed his hands and he is going to hand Jackson a DRINK with those hands. Ugh. Honestly a contract killer AND someone who doesnât wash his hands? Who RAISED him? What does his grandma think of this? FF hopes sheâs disappointed in him.)
âYou thought you needed to lure a hitman into an alley?â Andrew asks because the plan is stupid even if so far it has worked out for FF. The fact that Romero hadnât just come out when he sent Jackson the signal is only due to FFâs good luck and their stupidity.
âI didnât have a lot of time to think up anything more than the first plan I thought of. I saw him looking at Nicky on the dance floor.â FF says with another twist of his lips as he self-consciously rubbed at his cheek. Itâs never fun to have someone who has time to pick apart a plan that you barely had time to form. Andrew can understand the irritation and is glad that FF isnât lashing out at him for it.
(Andrew does not know that FF is not irritated he is just remembering that he had held up his broken toilet bowl phone to his face to pretend call Captain Neil. Heâs contemplating asking if Andrew maybe possibly has a wet wipe? Actually the murder van probably has bleach to clean up evidence, maybe he can just dip his face in there for like a minute.)
âDonât use a plan where you martyr yourself. I already have to deal with Neilâs bullshit tendencies.â Andrew says instead of thanking him. âYou should have just called me.â He says.
FF just holds up his phone, âDropped into a club toilet. Completely unusable.â He says and yeah that makes sense. FF would have probably just texted Andrew but coming out and seeing a hitman going after Nicky probably made it impossible for the freshman to go get help without drawing all the attention to himself first if he wanted to make sure Nicky stayed safe.
Still.
âYou dropped it into a toilet? You havenât even had anything tonight.â He says because that clumsiness is not something he expects from FF.
âYou try taking a pee next to someone on the FBIâs most wanted list and see how dry your palms remain when heâs talking about grabbing one of Captain Neilâs friends to lure him out.â He says with a brow raised.
Thatâs fair.
He figures that Romero hadnât even noticed FF standing there. FF was incredibly good at just making himself unnoticeable (to Andrewâs occasional great annoyance and to Kevinâs great desire to study him for Exy related purposes).
âYou recognized him?â He asks.
FFâs gaze slides to him, âI looked up a lot about the Foxes after I signed.â FF answers before his gaze slides back to the door. Roland had just texted Andrew that heâs getting Romeroâs drinks ready (Two bud lites. Those are the celebratory drinks he waited for?? Embarrassing.) âI really looked up to Captain Neil. So, I read a lot more about him than anyone else.â FF admits but the fact that FF looked up to Neil was not in any way shape or form a secret.
FF was the only one who was ALWAYS paying attention to whatever Neil was saying and never argued with it. Even Andrew tended to just get lost in the sound of Neilâs voice when heâs going over Exy plays and not actually listen to the plan. FFâs eyes were always right on Neil and his actions on the court showed that he had been paying attention and knew what he was doing. Kevin also listened but he tended to fight Neil on the finer details of plays, strategy or anything else. FF was the one who would just nod and do his part in whatever possible play Neil had broken down for them.
FF was also categorically incapable of referring to Neil as anything other than Captain Neil.
Neil had bristled early on at it. He had thought it was a mocking title, something FF was saying to rile him up because thatâs what Freshman Foxes did. Thatâs what Freshman Foxes always do. FF slid into the team without a whisper of rebellion and it hadnât taken long to realize that FF was using the title with sincerity even if his monotone did not perfectly convey that.
Itâd been that sincerity and that ease that had FF be the only option heâd considered when Bee said he should consider expanding his friend pool.
So if FF looked a little deeper into Neilâs past and sees Neilâs part in it as something to respect, something to admire?
Well, he personally thought he always had great taste in people. (He ignores the voice in his head that sounds like Nicky complaining about Kevin still not knowing German despite it being the family language.)
âYou sure you donât want one of my knives or the knife Jackson had?â It was pretty big and Andrew didnât think it would work well with his general style but maybe FF could use it somehow. He was uneasy that FF was going into this fight unarmed. FF still hadnât talked about how heâd taken out Jackson when the man had a knife like that.
âDo I look like Crocodile Dundee to you?â FF asks with a raised eyebrow and Andrew has to pause a moment for the movie to load into his brain before he offers an amused quirk of his own lips.
FF is a funny guy.
His phone dings. âHeâs on his way.â
***
Aside from thinking about how nice the conversation he was having with his friend Andrew (his friend! His friend Andrew! God how is he going to admit to Gran that Andrew was never planning on stabbing him? She threatened to come over and square off with the âmean young manâ bullying him. Heâs gotta go grab the makings for a secondary pie to even start to make up for this. Maybe Andrew would prefer a cobbler? He should ask his friend his preferences.) he was thinking about how he really wished they hadnât had a cut away from Gracie Hart showing all the various forms of self defense she knows in the movie.
He had no idea if he could do a repeat performance of S.I.N.G. with Romero.
Itâd be nice to have a few more things in his repertoire because all he has is striking Romero with the heel of his hand in the nose, getting grabbed from behind to throw him over his shoulder (which what if Romero is shorter than him? How will THAT work. Gracie Hart guide my steps!), and of course S.I.N.G.
If he survives this he might write a letter to the writer.
The door opens and honestly FF and Andrew agreed that surprise and speed were going to be their best weapons. The two of them go in for a full body tackle but Romero must just be a higher class goon than Jackson was since he manages to body them away. The door shuts which is mostly what they wanted anyways. Romero canât go back in and grab someone to use as a shield.
He sees Andrew pull out his knives and now FF realizes that any level of threatening Andrew had done before must have mostly been in jest or just as intimidation. When Andrew wants to stab someone itâs obvious that heâs aiming to stab them.
Romero manages to parry Andrewâs first stab with a move that FF had seen on the âhow to handle someone coming at you with a knifeâ videos. FF sees Romero go in to bash one of the Bud Lite bottles over Andrewâs head so he launches his water bottle at Romeroâs hand. The bottle falls and shatters harmlessly on the ground.
He kicks Romeroâs other hand since the water bottle bought him time to get close. âYou fucking brat!â Romero hisses.
He sees Romero reaching for something at the same time Andrew is going in for the second round of stabbing. Romero dodges out of the way but FF can see what might actually for real be an entire gun concealed in his jacket.
He can see Romero going for it. Sees the same smile on his face heâd seen inside as his hand wraps around the handle.
FF doesnât think.
FF doesnât think because if he does heâll freeze.
So FF acts.
âGun!â He yells and runs full force tackling Romero as hard as he can but unfortunately he tackles Romero into Andrew.
The three of them grapple on the ground. Itâs hard to keep track of what limb is whoâs and heâs pretty sure heâs accidentally hit Andrew a few times instead of Romero but heâs also pretty sure that Andrew punched him in the stomach so he thinks theyâre equal. Finally FF gets a hand on the gun that Romero had been trying to get the safety off of and he knocks it out of Romeroâs hand. âYou kids will-â
Romero doesnât get to say anything else because Andrew manages to land a punch right to his jaw that has Romero go limp under the two of them. They look at one another and Andrew manages to pull the handcuffs theyâd purloined out of the Van while they were waiting off of the belt loop they were hooked onto and gets them around Romeroâs wrists.
They stare down at the second unconscious man on the FBIâs most wanted list in the alley.
Then they roll off of him and onto their backs. Both of them wheezing from a combination of exertion, adrenaline, and (at least in FFâs case) a fair amount of pain (Christ Andrew packs a PUNCH his stomach is already sensitive. Itâs a miracle that punch hadnât made him puke.)
âThat wasâŚso stupid.â Andrew pants.
âYeah probably.â FF admits.
They lay there for about a minute and FF thinks that maybe someone will need to carry him because his stomach is KILLING HIM with all this.
âAlright letâs-â
Andrew is sitting up and looking at him when he stops talking.
FF doesnât really know what the issue is but starts to sit up, âDonât you DARE.â Andrew hisses and FF finds himself being pushed back down to the ground to lay flat. âDonât move Smith.â He demands and is pulling his phone out of his pocket as he keeps a hand on FFâs shoulder.
FF doesnât really understand whatâs got Andrew so upset all the sudden. âAndrew, whatâs-â he tries to sit up again. Is there a third person and Andrew wants him to keep down? Thereâs not really cover here they should move towards the dumpster maybe?
âSmith, I told you to not move.â Andrew hisses before whoever heâs calling seems to pick up. âI need police and an ambulance. Weâre at Edenâs Twilight in the back alley.â He looks to FF, âWhatâs your blood type?â He asks.
FF has NO idea.
âI donât know.â He answers and Andrew makes a disgusted sound. âAndrew, whatâs-â
Then he sees it.
He doesnât quite get how he missed it before now.
âHuh.â He hears himself say.
Thatâs Andrewâs knife handle sticking out of his stomach.
It appears that Andrew Minyard may have stabbed him in the stomach.
âWell, thatâs about what I expected.â He says and lets his head rest against the pavement.

Thinking about how in the usa family can teach each other how to drive - imagine Nicky teaching Andrew how to drive:
- Andrew desperately needing a way to get freedom for the first time in his life and Nicky being the one to be able to give him that
- Andrew feeling a bit scared of being in a car after the accident and trying not to shake the first times he sat down, but Nicky giving him time and security to fail and put himself together, allowing him to get the courage to do it.
- Andrew being so determined to learn and Nicky worried if he would be a good teacher
- Andrew picking up some driving habits from Nicky, like bumping his finger to the music or bad mouthing other drivers under his breath
- Nicky being there for him on the day of the exam and being * so proud * of him for having accomplished something he wanted so much!
- Andrew picking up Nicky's favourite fast food on the drive through on the way back home that day, as a thank you
I just love and need more Andrew + Nicky interactions!
#aftg#andrew minyard#nicky hemmick#all for the game#the foxhole court#driving#just saw a reel talking about the prices of driving licenses on usa vs europe and thought of this#nicky is a great guardian
