Here’s a drawing of Neil and Andrew at the zoo since I’ve been obsessing of AFTG recently. It’s one of my first digital art drawing (also you can tell I kind of gave up on the background) but here it is. And the inspiration behind it:
The Foxes go to the zoo (I got a bit carried away while writing these)
It all starts when Dan realizes there are a lot of places Neil has never gone
Like amusement parks, fairs, zoos, or aquariums
So of course Dan and Matt talk about it and decide that the foxes should have a day off and go to the zoo
Surprisingly Coach Wymack agrees with Dan and they plan to take the upcoming Friday off for the trip
Allison and Nicky complain about how the zoo is too childish
And Kevin argues that he should just stay behind and play exy, because “the season is right around the corner”, and they “can’t afford to lose a day of practice”
Wymack shuts him down, saying the day off is good for “team building”
So all the foxes split into the two cars and head to the zoo
When they get there Nicky heads straight for the snack cart
Kevin asks if they serve alcohol and grumbles even more when it’s a “no”
Renee leads the way, since she’s actually been here before with her adoptive mother
They spend the morning together and eat lunch at the food court
After the morning spent together Dan is apparently satisfied with the amount of “team bonding” they’ve done
She and Matt go off to spend some time together
The monsters also leave
So Allison and Renee are left alone together
Renee love animals and mentions any facts she knows about the animal they are looking at
From anyone else Allison would be annoyed, but it’s actually kinda cute when Renee rambles on about amur leopards
In reality Renee is actually just very flustered about being alone with Allison, hence the rambling
It does not help that Allison is wearing a short, revealing tank top
Meanwhile Aaron and Kevin are both being grouches and making snide remarks
“Oh look another fucking bird, so exciting!”
Andrew is secretly having a good time
His expression is as neutral as ever, but it’s a good day for him
He hadn’t had any nightmares the previous night
Watching Neil smile at him and react to all the different animals is also good
Very good
(The blue raspberry slushie he’s nursing doesn’t hurt either though)
Nicky gets super excited when he sees the red pandas
“Do you think we could have one as our team mascot!?”
“You do know they’re pandas, right? Not foxes”
“Whatever, they’re adorable”
Kevin scoffs, but in his head agrees that they are indeed precious
I mean, he doesn’t want to admit it
But like their little faces
And the way the waddle along
The monsters go visit the big cats
Which Andrew actually thinks are really cool (I mean his spirit animal is a cat so)
Not that he says anything
The lions kind of reminded him of King and Sir
Neil and Andrew go back to see the lions again before they leave
Cause Neil knows Andrew wants to, even if he doesn’t say anything
Basically all the foxes had a better time than they expected
(Well maybe not Aaron, he was pretty much annoyed the whole time and got sunburned)
Bonus
Neil sees how much Andrew likes the lions, so he secretly buys one from the gift shop, while Andrew is with Renee
When they get back Neil surprises Andrew with it
Andrew gets flustered
“184%”
He is very overwhelmed by the kind gesture
That Neil took the time to notice and then buy something for him
Andrew treasures the gift
Whenever Neil is away he sleeps with it
Neil has learned not to ask about the stuffy, because whenever he does Andrew refuses to acknowledge it
