(THIS ONE HAS A SPECIAL POV YALL HABE TO GUESS TIL U GET UP TO ITTT)
'you need to stop staring!' charlie commented , immediately making Todd's face flush red as a tomato 'im not , are you trying to get us demerits?' 'Boys , mind sharing the importance of your conversation to the class?' Keating laughed and so did Neil , staring straight into Todd's eyes , not even thinking about what Charlie had done and contributing a smile to console Todd for the whole class laughing at him. 'As a matter of fact , Mr Anderson , please come here and present your poem to the class!' When Todd hesitated , Keating said 'Come on , boy get it out of the way!' and that was what Todd did. He cleared his throat and stared into Neil's honey brown eyes , wishing they could just suck him up and get him out of here.

KEATING pov 😱😱😱:

I listened to the boy's poem , it was truly abstract and administrated such love and desire that it left the whole class not laughing , but in envy of his comprehension of such poetry
(this is an original , ik it's not very good but i decided to write it anywayyyy 😭😭)

'intricacies,
no one else sees
it's you and me
only
this world we own
'what are we'
is unknown
knowing you'll never
be alone
in your eyes,
i am engulfed
your 'bros'
may find this gross
but it's the most
i can do
to say
'I love you'

Anderson read , somehow not stuttering once or speaking as fast as he could , urging himself to get it over with , no and I could tell why. It's because he was staring into Perry's eyes, and the loving brunette stared back in awe at the boy who was staring  at him with worry and pride. I let it be known to Todd that his work was phenomenal and that for this poem , he covered one of the most crucial parts of being a poet , or a successful one like Walt Whitman , you need to show love or rather in Todd's case , societally forbidden love.

Neil POV:
Back at the dorms , i had to show Todd how good his poem was , only it wasn't with words , or even a 'kind' form of retaliation poem , but by asking him 'who was your poem about today , Todd?' 'uhhhh....my old girlfriend from balincrest..?' he sounded so unsure and it took him a while to form the idea of the girl , which is how I knew he was lying.
'oh come on Todd , don't be a liar! i wouldn't even care if it were cameron!' At that moment , where I could see just how worried Todd was , there was a knock on our door. 'Boys , can I borrow Neil for a second?' Keating proposed 'coming , sir!' Neil started to walk out of the dorm to talk to Keating , but not leaving before giving Todd one last look that spoke 'this isn't over.' 'so , sir what did you want to speak about?' 'Well , I know , me as a teacher i'm not supposed to disclose private information about my students , but I am a , not to brag , flawless wingman , and I can tell that you and Todd are feeling something towards each other that are... 'unheard of' in 1959's current society , but I can ensure you that they are not wrong , and me personally , would be extremely proud of my two best students if they wear to just get over the coward border that is stopping them , and confess!' He said , probably not breathing once in between his speech.
That's impossible , Neil wasn't in love with Todd?
F'ck , Neil was in love with Todd..
I quickly strutted into the dorm , and without warning , I cupped Todd's cheek in my hand , pushed his frail body lightly against the wall and kissed him. He was obviously shocked , I mean I didn't even know for sure if his poem was about me , but I trusted anything Keating said. As I explored the unseen depths of Todd's mouth , I wondered if he really had a girlfriend at balincrest , which caused me to pull away and I asked him 'did you really have a girlfriend at your old school?' I said , worried for his response 'no!' he said , out of breath from the shock of the kiss. 'oh well then , let's get back to it , shall we?' as Todd kissed Neil again 'by the way..' Todd said , in parts because of his hunger for Neil's lips 'the poem was about me? i already knewww!' Neil said , laughing as Todd's heart did somersaults in his chest just because of that knee-weakening smile 'i love you , you idiot!' Todd let slip out of his lips 'i love you too , Todd. I've loved you ever since i met you , MY poet!'
