how terrifying do you think it was for kevin to get a phone call from riko during christmas break while neil was at evermore? do you think his heart skipped a beat when he saw the caller ID? do you think he stared in shock and tried to fight off a panic attack while his mind spiralled to worst-case scenarios? what do you think kevin thought riko was calling for? to bring kevin back? to tell him that he took things with neil too far? to say that neil signed the contract and wouldn’t be coming back? or that he passed him off to nathan and neil was gone forever?
how do you think he reacted when riko told him that he’d inked neil? that he hadn’t passed neil off to nathan, but he might as well have? that he was practically painting a target directly onto him and begging someone to take aim? how worried do you think he was? how relieved when neil came back, harmed but alive?
and most of all, how hard do you think it was for him to try and keep it together when he knew how it would eventually end for his smart-mouthed, runaway recruit with worlds of potential?
