Neil: I’ve been dropping them the most insanely obvious hints for like a year now. No response.

Todd: Wow. They sound stupid.

Neil: But they’re not. They’re really smart actually. Just dense.

Todd: Maybe you need to be more obvious? Like, I don’t know… “Hey! I love you!”

Neil: I guess you’re right. Hey Todd, I love you.

Todd: See! Just say that!

Neil: Holy fucking shit.

Todd: If that flies over their head then, sorry Neil, but they're too dumb for you.

Neil: Todd.

Todd is definitely the type of boyfriend to sit with you and quietly read while you do homework or one of your hobbies just bc he wants to spend time with you 

Charlie: Well, you know what they say: go big or go home!

Neil, on the verge of tears: Charlie, I am begging you, go home. For once in your life just go home

Charlie: ...

Charlie: I'm gonna go big

The cubs!

charlie giving all the poets little forehead kisses before bed. thats it. thats the post. 

I am a firm believer and advocate for the headcanon that Neil Perry gets that ‘cute aggression’ impulse whenever he sees Todd.

Todd reading a book at his desk? Neil’s gotta squeeze him in an air constricting hug..

Todd eating food during any of their meals? Neil’s gotta shake him violently while complaining about how adorable he is.

Todd minding his own damn business standing in the hallway? Neil is gonna tackle hug him so fast he’s gonna give sports cars a run for their money.

Todd not even being in the general vicinity because he just left? You better hope you left with him because Neil is going to be completely incoherent as he babbles and makes vague grabbing gestures for the next hour. (Charlie gets the brunt of this their senior year because he’s always in their room.)

In conclusion; Neil is constantly overwhelmed by how much he loves Todd.

Todd isn’t as obvious about it because Neil always makes the first move, but ask anyone who’s ever asked him a question about Neil and they’ll tell you he’s the exact same way.

crying in the club rn i love this sm

“See,” Todd pointed up at the sky, the pavement cool against his back, “we’ll all end up there one day.” 

Neil frowned, turning his gaze from the boy up to the sky. “Where? The stars?” 

Todd nodded excitedly, his hand falling back down to intertwine with Neil’s. The same shock, the same butterflies, the same smile, and it never ever got old. “Yep, after, you know, my mom says so anyway.” 

Neil hummed, the sky wasn’t very full tonight. “There’s so much space between each one though.” 

He laughed, “course there is, needs space for all of us, don’t it?” 

Neil pondered that for a moment, “our stars have to be close together.” 

Todd turned to him, his lips quirked just slightly, “don’t like being lonely?” 

He smiled, watching his fingers trace patterns on Todd’s arm before looking up, “don’t like being without you.” 

I- gale... you’re done. you’re done. 

Just realized that there's probably a lot of dps fans here on Tumblr that don't follow Gale Hansen on Twitter and didn't see him tweet this the other day so here you go
