The King's Men - Epilogue

Day: Saturday, April 27th / 28th* Time: 3:10 AM EST

Neil waits off to one side while the others file out, knowing Andrew will be the last to leave. Wymack knows better than to stick around and follows his Foxes down the hall. Andrew brings Neil's duffel to him. Neil takes it but drops it off to one side. Andrew studies it for a moment, then shrugs out of his own bag and puts a hand to the wall near Neil's head. "Your close calls are getting old," Andrew says. "I thought you knew how to run." Neil affects confusion. "I thought you told me to stop running." "Survival tip: no one likes a smart mouth." "Except you," Neil reminds him. A year ago Neil had been a scared nobody, hating himself for signing the Foxes' contract and counting down days until he moved in with Wymack. Tonight he is the starting striker for the first-ranked team in the NCAA. In two years he'll be captain, and in four he'll graduate from Palmetto State. Neil will find a professional team first and then fight tooth and nail to make the cut for Court. Neil can already imagine the weight of an Olympics medal around his neck. He doesn't even care what color it is so long as it is his. Better than that bright future is what he already has: a court that will always be home, a family who'll never give up on him, and Andrew, who for once hasn't wasted their time denying that this thing between them might actually mean something to both of them. Neil didn't even notice the silence at first, too distracted by his dizzying thoughts. Now he can't help but smile and pull Andrew in. This is everything he wanted, everything he needed, and Neil is never letting go.

END OF ALL FOR THE GAME SERIES.

*Due to the Leap Year, I have opted to highlight the day rather than the date to keep the events in occurrence to the 2007 year. I will continue to mark both days accordingly.

Man, this was a long time coming. Nearly a year after finishing my Neil Josten study (it here) I finally managed to finish Andrew's. So many feelings about Andrew Minyard, amirite? Like I did with Neil, I drew him from different points throughout the series (aka, medicated and unmedicated. Stabby and even more stabby).

I reread All for the Game again and wow, the brainrot is still strong. I can't stop thinking about this mouthy asshole. I want to draw specific moments from the series, but for this study I just had fun playing around with the many faces of Neil Josten!

I'm a firm believer that this is what Andrew looks like a couple years after college when he's on that pro athlete training regimen. My boy is solid!!

I was thinking about Jean's complicated feelings about Neil, about the promise of their partnership that never would come to fruition.

I think a part of why Jean seems both wistful and resentful when he thinks about Neil is because he knows, deep down, that Neil would never have betrayed him and abandoned him the way Zane did. Neil would have been his partner in the true sense of the word - he'd have watched Jean's back, on and off the court.

Deep down, I think Jean knows that Neil would have done everything in his power to make sure Grayson and the others could never lay a hand on Jean. If Neil had been a Raven, back then, he wouldn't have just shielded Jean. He'd have eliminated Grayson as a threat entirely.

But because he wasn't there, Jean was left to the wolves.
