"Hey wait up!" Neil catches up with me in the hall after our God Squad session. I turn around and watch him jog, noting how graceful he is despite his massive size.
Apparently klutz is not one of the words found in the Hargreave DNA.
"You were great in there, Neil. I'm really glad you came."
"Yeah, it was good meeting everyone else. Even that weird guy with the Rastafarian hair is alright," Neil nods towards Joe's direction as he passes us by.
We murmur our hellos and Neil rivets back his attention, his marble-like sunburst eyes glinting with purpose.
"I believe you owe me a date, Miss Fabray. I've come to collect in advance." He says softly as I can feel him coming in closer.
He stops until we're almost head to head. Actually, it's more like the top of my head is a little below his shoulders.
My heart races nervously as I look again at him. He gives a half-smile and suddenly, I start thinking of Iain and how he does the exact same thing. I realize that when his brother does this, I get weak in the knees, but with Neil it's different.
"Yes, I guess I do," I swallow and nod.
"Well, you don't have to act so nervous about it," Neil laughs, but he doesn't realize is that I was thinking about his brother and doing mental comparisons between both of them.
