“I’m a merman, not a siren, you stupid human.”
Aaron sputters. “What kind of insult is that? Andrew is also human!”
“Yeah, but he’s my human,” Neil says petulantly, wrapping his tail around Andrew’s leg, and Andrew’s silly, dumb heart wriggles and flops around in his chest.
*
Andrew finally introduces Neil to his family. It goes as well as one would expect.

Oh. Andrew blinks. This is the first time anyone has called him that.
Mate.

Summary
Aaron is very aware of how human Kevin is, in that he doesn’t buy into the myth and legend and knows the man too well to put him on a pedestal. But it’s a step further here. When Kevin dances, he looks like he’s still figuring it out. He looks like what he is: twenty years old, trying his best, wanting to feel something else for a moment.
Or maybe Aaron’s just projecting.
“You said you wanted to dance,” Kevin says, and Aaron’s eyes snap back to his face. They hadn’t strayed very far; just down the line of Kevin’s body, watching the way he moved. It’s the freedom, Aaron thinks. Like when Kevin dances, it’s because he wants to do it more than he wants to be good at it. There aren’t many things he can say that about, when it comes to Kevin Day.
He’s here. He’s alive, and Andrew is alive, and Nicky is alive, and Kevin and Katelyn and Wymack and Abby. And Matt and Randy; the girls too. Even Neil.
All these people are alive, even if they’re not okay. And Drake is dead. And Aaron made that happen.
—it's the end of the year, all of kevin’s usual dogs are gone, and aaron has a lot to think about.
