Summary
“And you cared about nothing,” Neil fills in the blanks by himself, forging the unbreakable image of Kevin and Andrew before Neil even knew them. “You wanted to be more like him.”
When Andrew doesn’t answer, Neil continues, “His left hand. He always let you take care of it, too. He trusted you like that. Kevin— Kevin never doubted your ability to be gentle.”
“He was naive,” Andrew grinds his teeth, “and stupid.”
Neil’s response is so automatic he couldn’t have taken it back if he wanted to. “And you loved him for it.”
Alternatively: Kevin's graduation confirms what they already knew — it's always easier to realize you love something after you lose it.

Summary
Kevin blinks confusedly. "Dreams?"
"..." A breath. "About you. And Andrew."
"Ah," Kevin hums in understanding. That almost always means he does not understand anything. "Bad dreams?"
Neil shakes his head. "No. Not bad. Just…" He winces. "Another kind of dream."
"Which is?
"...Kevin."
"Yes?"
"Dreams where we do things," Neil murmurs, trying not to jumble the words together in his mortification, "that we don't really do in real life."
"What?"
Or, when a trip to the Patagonian countryside with the original Foxes highlights their relationship's unintentional chastity, Neil starts having sex dreams about Kevin. From thereon, things only get more complicated.
