Chapters: 3/3 Fandom: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Kevin Day/Andrew Minyard Characters: Andrew Minyard, Kevin Day, Nicky Hemmick Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Strangers to Lovers, Hate Sex, Angst with a Happy Ending, Kevin Day Never Joins the PSU Foxes, Ireland Summary:

Kevin Day was twenty the last time Andrew had seen him; stiff-backed, hair cropped, hand bound in a canvas brace. The winter banquet had been hosted at Breckenridge that year, the Evermore Ravens on the other side of the room from the Foxes.

Kevin Day had been standing with the other coaches, though, not the players. And Kilduáin is a very long way from Breckenridge.

All events carry but one.

"Kevin doesn't dance anymore, and I never do."

Kevin is dragged to Eden's again, three shots down with a very bad idea and a determination.

OR:

"Andrew’s eyebrow lifted, the metal piercing glinting in the light. Blindingly, Kevin thought. He would’ve liked it better if he were wearing anger on his face, or even disgust - this was worse. Amusement. Waiting to see how this played out, and why Kevin had suddenly changed his mind. If Kevin knew anything other than Exy. How far Kevin would go to get what he wanted."

(the same scene, two povs)

[kevindayapologist]

“Your self-destructive streak was entertaining at first, golden boy, but the shtick is getting old and I am losing my patience.”

Kevin slides himself closer to Andrew and leans his face in. It feels dangerous, heat rolling off Andrew in waves. He always runs so impossibly hot.

“You never had any patience.” Kevin plucks the cigarette from Andrew’s fingers and holds it up between them. “And you don’t get to lecture me about vices.”

Pre-canon Kevin and Andrew and their toxic co-dependent situationship!

andrew always being at kevin's side because kevin needs it and andrew driving kevin to night practice and andrew patting kevin down to check for injuries and andrew promising kevin it'll be fine and andrew looking awake, interested because of kevin and andrew conserving his energy for kevin's quiet meltdown and andrew smiling for the first time without the drugs because of kevin and andrew always picking up when kevin calls

aftg fandom arguing about characters' personalities / kevin day has a praise kink

kevin day is not “neil josten but taller” ok?

whether it’s kevneil, kandrew, kandreil. romantic or platonic. yes, these relationships affect him and how interacts, how he evolves. but he affects those he interacts with right back. like it should be. the adjustments should show. should matter. should be kind.

if neil and/or andrew–especially andrew–are mean, degrading, impatient, mocking, superior, frustrated towards kevin, simply because he is kevin, and kevin isn’t exactly that right back with them? the whole potential of a kevin-relationship was missed. pulverized.

kevin is not “neil josten but taller”–he’s kevin fucking day, queen of exy, son of exy, cult survivor, first and only ambidextrous striker, self-taught at that, and has led the palmetto state foxes to victory. he can be mean and ruthless and oblivious and hurtful and egotistical and a real fucking asshole. andrew’s that. neil is those things too. but they’re neil and andrew and kevin. their characters paint the colors with which their traits appear. they’re very evenly matched, that’s why they work so well together, but their differences make for a lot of it as well.

so unless it’s for the angst, the eventual happy ending, the character development, the relationship development, the healing, the therapy, the do-better… and *even* then…

don’t make neil belittle kevin. don’t make kevin the butt of andreil’s mean jokes. don’t make andrew compare kevin to neil. don’t make kevin palatable to andreil.

all three of them already fit together. nora’s shown us.

why would andrew despise kevin for not understanding the kind of communication he has with neil? and why would neil be the norm? before neil, there was kevin. and only kevin. he was the first for andrew. that can never be denied. and andrew would never forget. why would andrew build a relationship with a second neil? why would he isolate kevin with private, mean jokes with neil? why would neil make fun of kevin with exy? why would he get irritated with kevin for talking more than andrew? and why would all of that be for nothing, except establish a toxic base for the triad?

i don’t like it. it’s not two knives and a spoon. it’s three fucking knives. all equally sharp. all equally blunt. all equally handy. all equally hold-able.

three. fucking. knives.

thank you for coming to my KEVTalk.

[saywhatyouwillbut]

i love all of you wonderful aftg creators making social media aus and in-universe memes, choosing to completely ignore the fact that exy rpf would 100% exist

[crazy-fangirl2524]

I got you

Andrew bared his teeth at Kevin. “I told you, I got you,”

Kevin Day had not meant to rely on Andrew this much, for protection, company, and now Kevin Day could not imagine his life without him. But this thing between them couldn’t last forever.

For @houseminyard for @aftgsecretsnowflake I hope you like this!

Little kandrew/eil angst below!

It is finally his graduation. Kevin is among those who graduate with flying colours and he turns his tassel to the other side, smile long on his face when he waves for the photoshot. That's what it hits him — it is almost the ending. No more classes, no more practices with his foxes. No shared dorm with Andrew and Neil. It's almost the ending, tomorrow he takes the plane for another state to confirm his joining the pro team and start his brand new career at the league, though he has a few dozen of hours till then.

He goes down the stairs giving the way to the other no-more-student and joins the foxes — they came to support him and he's really pleased to see them all around him. They are talking nonsense about wanting to leave this place too, Nicky obviously wants to go to Germany, Aaron is going to med school and... All of the voices turn silent. No, of course everyone's still talking but Kevin can't hear anything when he meets Andrew's gaze.

The world is frozen around them, the silence is unbearable when you can't even breathe to cut it. Kevin wonders if that happened before — Andrew looks him dead in the eye as if trying to say something without words, knowing for sure his message would be received. Unexpectedly, Kevin really gets it. It is the ending.

Andrew's gaze is solemn for once, he doesn't look like he wants to blame him for something. He wonders, could Andrew regret something just like Kevin does. All the excitement disappears into thin air, when he realizes — that all was in vain. He escaped Evermore, that was the right thing, for sure, but then he escaped another time. He was running from himself for so long, he doesn't even remember the starting point. That leads him here — that moment when they look in the eyes of one another, adulterated silence is the only evidence for that, not in the strength to say anything that they really mean, something that should have been said years ago, without precious time wasted.

Kevin gets it — Andrew's silent goodbye. He'll give him a lift to the airport tomorrow, but now is the exact moment to put a period to all that. Till today they've let themselves indulge in those pathetic hopes, dreams about those crucial words said out loud, but now it is the ending, one cannot put back the clock.

He doesn't know for sure if Andrew really regrets anything, though Kevin can do nothing but. He could've been more confident and less complicated, maybe then... Then, not now.

He wants to run away again, but this time not from himself — to run for someone, for himself, catching Andrew's wrist in a hurry and kissing him in the abandoned park behind campus, because there's still some time left, there's always, isn't there?

Clearly, not for them. No time left for Kevin and Andrew, now he has to forget him — has to burn the bridge, knowing that it has been already set aflame at the other end. He can smell the ashes, though it could be the heavy cigarette smoke and ashes take place only in his mind.

Andrew looks away when he knows his silent goodbye is deciphered, there's no use in observing his handsome features anymore, Kevin lowers his eyes to see Neil's hand gripping at Andrew's sleeve.

He knows — it is the ending of something that never started, a period at the end of an empty sentence.

3.8k | Kandrew | Explicit

Summary:

Kevin opens and closes his mouth a few times before landing on, “He was flirting with you,” and, at Andrew’s eyebrows raising a fraction of an inch, “He has been since last season. I figured someone should put a stop to it.” The implied, since you were not going to, sits on the air heavily.

“I did not realize,” Andrew says slowly, and Kevin shrugs and hopes it comes across as casual.“I know. I’m sorry, I know you’re not something I own–” Andrew takes in a sharp breath, but Kevin powers on, “–and I should not have acted like you were.”

Andrew turns a considering look at him. Kevin is about to ask him to just say something when, “I want to kiss you.”

This brings Kevin up short.

What?

--

Or, Kevin gets jealous, Andrew thinks he's hot, they fuck it out. You know how it is.

[medeaaasworld]

this is exactly how I see this scene:

[houseminyard]

completed small kandrew minific :p considering continuing if this is considered Interesting ™

[ifitmeanslosingyouthenno]

no wait wait

greys anatomy au

in which neil's life goes VERY differently, nathan isnt a serial killer, there’s no mafia or anything behind him, and exy exists but it's not the focus of his life no

he just really wants to be a surgeon

nathan is still very abusive and both mary and nathan are famous surgeons idk

and they live with nathan until he almost kills neil one time and the neighbors call the cops because they hears a huge commotion and wrre worried

but anyway

nathan is locked up behind bars, they move states (cali maybe?), neil does pre med and then he goes to med school and

and mary gets diagnosed with early onset alzheimers, and its advancing very very fast

neil changes his name at some point, obviously not wanting to be wesninski, but not wanting the fame of the hatford last name either

and since mary barely recognizes him anymore why not drop both last names anyway

so neil josten is born

and he gets in the residency program in palmetto, known for its excellent surgeon program despite its slightly problematic history

the first night neil gets to palmetto, he goes to a random bar bc he's fucking nervous and he's leaving mary at a nursing home and he cant believe he's gotten this far

a couple hits on him at the bar tho, and well he's never swung before for anyone, but something about these men lures him in that he can't help but be just as into them as they seem into him

they talk and talk and talk for such a long time, and eventually when they ask him if he wants to go home with them he says yes and well yeah lmao he gets literally railed an inch from his life thst night, its literally the best day of his entire life

the next morning he runs out of there before they get up because he panics bc he actually wants these men and he CANT have anyone, bc he has too much baggage in his mind and he's scared and-

and he starts his internship that morning so he rushes to his shitty apartment and rushes to get ready and he runs to the hospital he's going to be working on for the next like 6 years and oh shit

oh no

ohhhhh no

the men are here

they WORK here

they are both his SUPERIORS

kevin is THE kevin day first year neurosurgeon fellon who invented a method to cure xxx in his residency

and andrew is andrew minyard, the medical student with the highest score on the xxx test, remarkable despite still being a surgical resident and oh fuck

they both work here

neil is fucked
