Ok but for the danrenison and mandreil, dan and matt making a pact to anonymously send gifts to their partners and andrew KNOWS its them but he acts like he doesn't and Neil's just dumb and renee thinks its secretly andrew because he wants to buy stuff but not be open about it because 'affection is disgusting' and then everyone one day finding them accidentally while they were leaving their respective gifts and then them trying to pass it off with the worst excuses known. this got too long
I love this bc omg at first i read it as “allison and matt” and was on that thought train but then I saw “dan and matt” which means allison doesn’t try to hide her gift-giving. she’s like. YES i’m spending money on you. you’d BETTER say thank-you. I didn’t have to do this but I am because I CARE about u okay. aren’t I great?
(She needs them to tell her she’s great. She needs them to say they appreciate her. Renee and Dan take her aside and explain that although it feels good to get stuff, she doesn’t need to buy the two of them, and she’s a wonderful person and they love her just for herself)
see if dan and matt are also dating, that’s the perfect excuse for them Conspiracing together. Someone about to catch us? Let’s make out furiously. if they keep lookin’ then they’d better be a paying customer mmhm
dan: come in kestrel, come in. i’ve got the packages. about to make the drop outside your dorm. over
matt, lookin totally not suspicious in the campus starbucks, on the phone: i read you fennec. when can I expect my return mission? over
(after they get found out, they keep up the game, except now they enlist the other partners to give secret heist gifts to each other too)
