No one ever listened to Kevin when he talked about history. No one cared about dates, places or people that he spoke about with so much enthusiasm. Every time Kevin tried to tell someone of the Foxes about Carthage or Eleanor of Aquitaine they told him to shut up. And he stopped trying to share anything because didn’t want to be clingy. When Kevin was in Evermore he talked to Jean who listened but wasn’t interested much too.
Neil never cut Kevin off when he got carried away somehow and listened. Listened and asked questions. Tried to argue if he knew something about theme that Kevin was talking about (and Neil was always wrong but who cares?).
They have just got back from the Court. Today Kevin was angry and nervous. He was almost shaking when he snapped at Neil, who was the only one who didn’t talked back (except Andrew) and just hummed to himself.
“Tell me something” Neil said suddenly, interrupting the silence.
“I don’t know. I like when you talk about history”
Kevin felt something twisted inside of him. What?
“Do you?” Kevin’s voice sounded unusually. It almost trembled.
Kevin blinked a few times, staring down at his hands, gulping.
“Louis XIX ascended the throne in France in July 1830, but abdicated in just 20 minutes”
Kevin said the first thing that he could remember. And immediately wanted to slap himself. What the fuck did he just say? Neil probably wanted to hear something about war or stuff like that. About something interesting, not about such useless and boring facts.
But Neil just snorted at first, trying to hold a laugh. But failed and covered his mouth with hand to stop himself.
Kevin breathed out relaxed.
“This is a Guinness record.” he added.
“Okay. Good.” Neil mumbled when he managed to calm down.
Okay. Good. Yeah, okay, good.
“At dinner parties in Ancient Rome, guests used curly boys to wipe their hands on their hair. Like napkins.” Kevin’s lips curled up a little bit when he saw how Neil’s face dramatically changed to frightened.
“Like mine?” Neil’s hand tangled into his one hair, tugging on them lightly.
