I think he still has his squishy cheeks from when he was a baby

Thinking of getting a tattoo that says “You know I get it…”

Kevin Day’s mental health

Can we stop for a minute and talk about Kevin Day’s mental health issues? Kevin’s is not only an alcoholic, but he’s first and foremost an alcoholic because he has issues and can’t talk about them.

Kevin suffers from anxiety and whoever wants to tell me he’s not suffering from heavy depression betrays themselves.

Kevin sitting in the club, getting drunk af is just his way of dealing with all his fear, numbness and sadness and everyone around him watches him getting shitfaced and thinks that’s his way of having fun.

Nora: that boy deserved so much better... We all talk about Andrew’s and Neil’s issues all the time while it’s Kevin fucking Exy Queen Day who’s dealing with the struggle all by himself and yet finds the strength to care about Andrew, Neil and a girlfriend? He’s the silent hero of TFC

Kevin W. Day

He and Wymack are never gonna have a normal dad & son relationship, they aren't going to start acting like that because it would feel forced. And honestly, they don't need that tension between them. More than a dad, David is his coach. It isn't until a week before graduation, he realises that from now own, he is not going to see coach everyday, he is not going to bicker around with him about the new foxes, he won't be able to run to his house if Riko haunts him again.

He is going to lose him. He is going to be left alone again. That's what Kevin thinks at least. He gets anxious. He realises that for the past years he hasn't done enough. He hasn't proved that he cares, that he loves him, that the day he found out about David being his dad, was the best day of his life. He hasn't call him dad, since the match against the ravens. He is scared. He doesn't want this.

He needs to show him how much having him in his life means.

So he thinks what to do, he even writes a list with ideas, speeches, something good enough to prove his feelings, just once, just to make sure Coach knows.

He finds a way. The only way he thinks it's suitable to do it.

Graduation day comes and David, Abby, Bee, the foxes and Thea come to see him graduate. His name is about to get called, but he isn't nervous, he is ready, he realises, he is ready to hear it, for the first time. For the rest of his life.

"Kevin Wymack Day."

He stands and takes his diploma, he smiles, but it's not one of his fake-for-the-press smiles. It's a genuine smile. He catches with his peripheral vision the foxes reaction, they are shocked, no, surprised, it takes a few moments for them to react but when they do they start cheering and clapping for two minutes before they can stop. But Kevin doesn't mind, he has his full attention on his father's face, he stares at him, as if he was challenging him, with "Problem?" Written all over his face. David just smiles and nods, then he lowers his head and for the fucking first time the foxes are going to see something unbelievable, something they would have never expected, their Coach is crying. For Kevin, seeing that feels like happiness, it feels right. It feels like he would always have him.

That is enough. They both understand. They would never have a normal dad & son relationship, so what? They are dad and son. That is enough. They love each other. That is enough. No words needed, just actions.

Had a dream last night that I was playing soccer with Neil Josten and Kevin Day was sitting to the side criticizing our technique. It was great

Anyone: what’s up?

Me: oh I’m just experiencing the epic highs and lows of college stick ball
