Meet Me In The Woods
by BingoBorrible
A few months ago, Neil would have given up. If his father had taken everything he cared about from him, he would have gone to his father's study and unlocked that drawer and taken out the gun. But he was taught by John Keating for almost an entire term, and if there's one thing he learned, it's Carpe Diem - seize the day. LIVE the day.Neil doesn't give up, because you can't seize the day when you're dead, and sometimes rash decisions are the best decisions. He's not going to let his father take everything he cares about away, not acting, not the poets, and so Neil grabs everything that might be of use and steals his father's car. But back at Welton, he discovers that not only does everyone think he's dead, but Todd - soft, innocent, kind, oblivious Todd, who has no clue what he means to Neil - is hurt - and he won't wake up.

entropy

And Todd nods as he sniffles, blinking as his eyes threaten to blur. He can only nod when he feels his teacher pat him on the shoulder, murmuring apologies that he doesn’t need to say at all.“I just wish they didn’t have to take him away. I mean, he’d be alright. I think he’d be, but…”When he spends a considerable amount of time in silence, Keating takes this opportunity to voice out what’s in his mind, and to say what he’s been seeing in all of Todd since he entered the room, nerves and all.“Now, why do you care so much?” he starts off gently, careful in the way he says it, like stepping on a puddle, “You’re the one who hasn’t been around for a long time, especially with him. It’s only been four months that you’ve known each other, that you’ve known Mr. Perry.”“Well, yeah, but he’s my roommate. He’s my friend. And…and he’s helped me…a lot.”“But it’s a lot more than that. Isn’t it, Todd?” OR: Where Neil runs away back to Welton and tells Todd about his parents' plans to send him away, and then Todd has to come to terms with all of what he feels before it all happens.

Everything I Need
by every_second_counts
Todd’s breath hitched for a second, before he said “I’m so sorry you’ve had to live like this, honey…” “I don’t have to anymore.” Neil spoke softly, Todd smiling at him weakly for a second before turning his gaze back towards the road. “I have you.” —————————————— Neil and Todd drive home on the way back from visiting Neil’s parents in Vermont. Neil worries, ergo, Todd worries.
