I was so delighted to see another update from you in my inbox so quickly, you are single-handedly saving my week!
If I may be nosy: in canon, Kevin is the first to realise Andreil is a thing. In TUOR, would he work it out quicker because he knows Neil better, or slower bc it’s such a foolish/dangerous/uncharacteristic thing for Neil to do that Kevin wouldn’t consider it a possibility? Does kevin suspect anything at this point in the timeline?
Thank you and have a lovely day 🕺
I'm delighted that you're delighted! Thank you for the kind words <3
In my head, Andrew's side of the Andreil equation is easier for Kevin to work out. In the Nest, Kevin would sometimes, albeit rarely, catch Jean looking at someone with a hint of interest, but he's never seen Neil show any sign of attraction before. He doesn't really know what that would look like. It's caused him a lot of turmoil because he thinks that maybe they hurt Neil too much in the Nest for him to ever want to get romantically/sexually close to anyone.
But being around Andrew constantly, Kevin has noticed the way they gravitate towards each other and he's clocked Andrew's attraction to Neil by this point. He suspects that there might be something going on, but he's not sure if/how much Neil reciprocates Andrew's interest.
