I know that Neil âstarts fights that he canât finishâ, but I refuse to believe that he has no fighting skills at all.
Not as good as Andrews and Reneeâs but he has some self defence stuff he picked up during his years.
I feel like all the foxes see Neil as pretty flight when it comes to âfight or flightâ, so they never expect anything else from him...
Until one night the foxes are at edens and some guy starts to harass Andrew:
maybe because of his reputation in the media
maybe because he finds him attractive
the foxes choose to leave the club but the guys just not giving up and follows them outside
he continues to be annoying and Neil is slightly intoxicated and a lot more comfortable being *noticed* as itâs a few years after the books
half way through one of the guys annoying rants, Neil just snaps
he turns and quickly maneuvers the guy so his back is pressed to Neilâs chest, arm twisted between them painfully
Neil growls something into his ear thatâs probably something along the lines of a threat, and then roughly pushes the guy face first into the wall of the club
the guy trips off back into the club, with a little bit of fear in his eye
theyâve never seen Neil really get that way before, didnât think he had it in him
Neil looks to Andrew to make sure heâs okay, and comes back to himself when he meets his eyes and sees heâs okay
he pushes Nathaniel back down at Andrews nod
and maybe Andrew shows a little extra attention to Neil that night in bed, and Neil jokes about how Andrew is turned on by the display earlier that night before quickly being shut down by Andrews glare
itâs the foxes first time realizing how dangerous Neil can really be, the first time it settles who Neils father is
But maybe they appreciate and love him a little more...
(This is kinda stupid Iâm sorry, but Iâm just really in love with the idea of Neils âbutcherâ side... anyway, hope you enjoyed)
