kevin day having a full on meltdown after seeing bunk beds in ikea. everyoneās best guess is maybe he and riko used to have bunk beds before the nest and it reminds him or a still-very-bad-butasignificantly-better-than-later time, but thatās not it, they never had bunk beds in the masterās house.
no, the bunk beds were in kevinās bedroom back in kildare. it was only his room, so he always slept on the top bunk and used to put his clothes out for the next day and his exy gear on the bottom bunk. but it was for riko, because kayleigh had always assumed heād come to stay at some point. yes, the summers kevin stayed at edgar allan were sort of weird and a bit scary, but he had his friend, so surely one year heād come to them instead? and that would be fun, that would be better, he could show riko around, take him to the park and get to the swings faster than the younger kids, lie to kayleigh that they were at the park and then go to the shop on the corner to buy sweets and they could eat them in kevinās room and it would be like a long sleepover.
and it was a thought heād repressed so hard he couldnāt remember ever thinking it until he sees those fucking bunk beds, with the dinosaur duvet like he used to have, and matching teddy bears on both beds.
kevin compartmentalises, that goes without saying. heās at the top of his field and thatās not about exy, nobody else even comes close to his ability to rationalise, suppress, ignore, and exist as a shell. but this gets to him before he can logic his way into forgetting. he wonāt let the dam break, because nobody would survive that, but his heart speeds up and his whole body heats, and heās sweating, and tears are welling up - how are there tears? and heās wringing his hands and heās CERTAIN heās going to throw up right here in this ikea, with those FUCKING bright white lights, and he has to leave, he has to GO, but the layout doesnāt afford him an exit. only an audience. andrew clocks it when kevin starts to look like heās actually having a heart attack, and forcibly drags him out to the parking lot, he can barely see as they go, doesnāt even know whoās taking him or where theyāre going. the fresh air and sunlight hits like cold water, and kevin doubles over to vomit and just sobs. andrew, believing this to be A Riko Thing, is entirely unsympathetic, and waits by the car.
