#anderperry hc
my favorite head canon for Neil really is him being a himbo when Todd’s around :(( thanks to @inahallucination for reminding me <3
Neil ‘no thoughts only Todd Anderson’ Perry being in any academic/physical competition or event has to make sure Todd isn’t around because he noticed he’s been slacking. He TOLD Charlie and the others never to tell Todd when he has a competition because he WILL fuck up.
But one day, during a mathlete competition thing, Neil, Meeks, and Cameron were in the lead for Welton. It was Neil’s turn to answer but then– he spots Todd in the crowd with Charlie, Knox, and Pitts.
Neil quickly gives a shy smile at Todd before glaring sneakily at Charlie. All his best friend could do was shrug nervously and point to Todd while mimicking a choking motion.
Todd looked excited though, his lovely supportive smile making Neil melt away. He was done for.
“Mr. Perry? Your answer?”
Neil gulped, he didn’t hear the question, he didn’t WRITE anything down. Meeks and Cameron were shaking their heads in defeat, they saw Todd with the others too.
With a defeated sigh, Neil guesses a number. He decides to use Todd’s birthday.
“Uhhh 11, 16?” He squeaked, fear in his eyes when he looked at his parents in the crowd, his teammates and his friends when their eyes wideded.
“CONGRATULATIONS, WELTON THE MATHLETE CHAMPIONS FOR THE 3rd YEAR IN A ROW!”
And Neil almost passes out in relief.
Ok new Anderperry HC based on @nocturnalnewsiestrash and my convo
Neil isn’t exactly the strongest of the poets, that goes to Charlie of course, but he prides himself of being able to carry Todd on his back A LOT.
He likes the weight that Todd presses down on him, it’s a warm, engulfing feeling because Todd is a smidge bigger built than Neil (more muscle).
Todd’s arms and legs like to wrap around Neil like a koala, nuzzling him from behind almost desperately. Neil likes this feeling. The warm embraces and weighty piggybacks are all worth it because Todd trusts Neil so much.
When they cuddle on Neil’s bed, Todd still likes hugging Neil from behind, effectively making him the little spoon. Neil, just like Todd, feels safe with him.
Todd was clingy and possessive of Neil, but in a more innocent way. He was captivated by Neil, almost like a child having a favorite toy that calms them down. Except Todd’s never had a favorite toy until now. He was shallow about clinging onto Neil, but he wasn’t overtly rude. Todd just had a security blanket in a form of Neil Perry, an emotional support human.
The others found it both hilarious and concerning but it was over all adorable. Cameron, who wasn’t used to seeing physical affection was seemingly irked, but was just visibly jealous of the kinship. Charlie was just jealous he couldn’t hug Neil was often as he used to. Knox was jealous in general. Meeks and Pitts were also hugging anyway.
Neil liked the attention because Todd didn’t ask him of anything other than piggy back rides or intimate hugs. Todd was happy with just his presence and Neil didn’t need to put up a front to keep him happy. Sure they got along on many different accords, like interests or their personalities.
The hugs were the best part.
