foxes play never have I ever
anon i am so sorry this took so long!! the writer’s block is starting to come off, but i was also pretty daunted by this prompt because i’ve seen so many versions from other people and i just didn’t know if i could measure up. i’m gonna try! also, i swear all of this is from my own brain so if there are similarities with other people i am very sorry i promise i was not plagiarizing. this does get more interesting toward the end, so bear with me pls
the foxes spend the first week of summer break together at a small lake house allison says her parents forgot about
“imagine being so rich you forget about a house” “your mother is literally a mma fighter with a net worth in the millions” “we only have one house” “in MANHATTAN”
they spend their days hiking and swimming and their nights drinking
it’s nicky’s idea to play never have i ever (it always is)
neil has never played before, and he’s excited enough that andrew decides to stick around and see what happens
because of the nature of their group, nicky says they can skip people in the circle if no one wants to ask any questions
they start out pretty normal, like “never have i ever shoplifted” “never have i ever been caught cheating on a test” etc etc
as they get drunker, the questions and the ensuing conversations get wackier
“never have i ever stayed awake for more than 48 hours straight”
neil’s the only one who drinks (andrew got to like 30 hours once), and the foxes are beyond alarmed for him
“how is your brain even working?”
sometimes they’ll target each other with specific questions, like nicky goes “never have i ever kissed a vixen before” and aaron glares at him while he downs a shot
when dan asks about developing crushes on strangers, neil is more than confused because he’s never even found anyone attractive until andrew, so it’s kinda wild to imagine falling in love with someone you walk past once
but neil is having the time of his life, he’s gently buzzed and surrounded by his friends and he’s laughing the loudest he has in a while
the fireplace is making his hair glow in all these different shades of bronze and red and his eyes are lighting up and his smile is just so big and happy
the next time the circle goes around, andrew starts talking before nicky can
“never have i ever been to switzerland”
the question’s surprisingly tame but the foxes are glad he’s participating, so allison, kevin, neil, and nicky drink (he and erik took a weekend trip there once)
as the game continues, andrew keeps on asking about places, but they slowly get more and more specific
“never have i ever been to belyounech”
nicky has to google where that is on his phone, but neil’s just staring at andrew and beginning to regret detailing his journeys with his mother
because andrew never forgets. never.
so of course he would remember the name of a tiny seaside town in morocco neil and his mom spent a single night in a good five years ago
neil is torn between being amused because he knows he did something to prompt this, glad andrew really listens to him when he talks, and childish annoyance
“never have i ever faked my identity” “OKAY ANDREW’S DISQUALIFIED”
andrew is just that petty and completely whipped for his boyfriend
nicky, thoroughly sloshed, asks “never have i ever kissed someone of the same gender”
every. single. fox. drinks. (except for aaron, who’s now comatose on the rug)
his complicated relationship with sexuality will be analyzed in a different post at some point in the future
nicky, thoroughly screaming, cannot get enough air in to interrogate everyone
kevin just waves his grey goose in the air like “yeah you bet i’m just THAT irresistible”
“was it jeremy?” “i wish” “wHAT DID YOU SAY?!?!?!” “I MISS, I SAID I MISS, I MISS JEREMY A LOT-”
dan and matt shrug because they were just trying to figure out their sexuality like normal teenagers
allison acts like this should have been public knowledge, but renee is blushing and they’re very determinedly Not Looking At Each Other
neil is intrigued but he doesn’t say anything
nicky, who has now slightly recovered, is absolutely losing his mind and on a roll and wants to milk this moment
“never have i ever kissed another fox”
dan, matt, neil, and andrew drink
but then SO DO ALLISON AND RENEE
and that is how the foxes find out they’re dating
