I love them so very much! Also, I'm pretty sure Matt was the first person to call Neil out on his "I'm fine" nonsense.
Brosten
I wrote these hcs like four years ago and they got quite a bit of love! However, I'm cleaning up my old blog (because I decided to separate my interests a little bit) so I'm reposting them here! Enjoy!
Matt carries Neil everywhere they go together
Matt is canonically like 3x larger than Neil so it takes zero effort for him to just sling Neil into his arms
Neil LOVES it
He wasn’t ever really touched in a loving way when he was younger, and he feels really safe with Matt and it’s so goofy
They fist bump each other all the time
Matt teaches Neil about “that’s what she said” and they go OFF with the dirty jokes
They’re constantly trying to make each other laugh in inappropriate settings
Wymack never ever lets them go on press duty together because all they do is make up horrible stories in response to reporter’s questions on the fly
Reporter: Mr. Josten, you made an incredible goal in the last few minutes of the game, how did you manage to get around those backliners in time?
Neil, completely straight faced: oh i have the ability to freeze time. it’s really inconvenient for the other teams
Matt, also straight faced: yeah but he gets a hangover the next day if he does it often so he has to hold back until the end
Reporter: :(
So. Much. Shoulder. And. Back. Thumping.
They keep coming up with increasing ridiculous bro nicknames, like one day Matt will call Neil brochacho so Neil will call Matt brotato chip and it escalates so they’re calling each other like,,,,broppa gangam style and brofessor x
They get Kevin in on the bro nicknames and they like to call each other “bro exy players”
When the girls have their “girls night” (and i firmly believe they do, every wednesday) Matt likes to go hang out in Neil’s room
They like to cuddle and watch movies, and Nicky 100% joins them
They go for Starbucks with Dan on Saturday mornings
(Sometimes Andrew goes with them, but Neil always brings back a drink for Andrew)
Matt is the first person on the team (aside from Andrew) who Neil shows his scars to
It’s followed by lots of hugging and promises that Neil is safe with Matt
Neil believes it
They crack each other’s backs all the time, and Neil is so lithe and little that he can actually walk on Matt’s back for him
They just like to hang out together???? Like Neil hasn’t ever really had “guy friends” and I think it’s so great that Neil lets himself enjoy close relationships with people he loves and trusts
Ugh I just love them so much they are the epitome of that bro meme. Pt. 2 being posted soon!
matt giving neil piggyback rides so that neil can feel tall. he also uses it as an opportunity to make short jokes
“look how small andrew is from up here, that’s how he always looks to me.”
matt then proceeds to go zooming across the parking lot to avoid andrew’s knives (he doesn’t set neil down either) so the other students would just see tall ass matt boyd nyooming away with neil holding tight to not get dropped while andrew is chasing them
dan, exasperated: if your friend jumped off a building, would you just blindly follow them?
matt: which friend? was it neil?
dan: what? no-
matt, sprinting towards the roof: NEIL, I’M COMING!!
matt: this cookie is too sweet! and it’s not even fully baked. if i were to rate this, i would give it three-
neil: oh. i made those myself.
matt: out of three points! you did an amazing job buddy can i have another one
OK but Neil having to provide a super long list of all his past aliases to his friends so they don't accidently name their kid one of his old identities lol
Neil meeting Matt:
