Summary
When my alarm wakes me in the morning, I know it’s going to be a shitty day.
Truth be told, it’s been slowly rolling on me, dark clouds over the horizon and it was only a matter of time before I woke up in the middle of a storm.
Nothing is really wrong, which is the most frustrating bullshit in the history of bullshit. Nothing bad has happened to me, or anyone else. There’s no reason for the torrential downpour that’ll keep me miserable and in bed all day and probably tomorrow too.
(or Charlie's having a really shitty time, but don't worry he's got Nick to come hold him through it all)

Summary
Nick was always there in the mornings, in fact Charlie was pretty sure he never actually left, usually seeing him behind the counter when he’d leave for home at 2:00.
On the days Charlie wasn’t there, he wondered if Nick stuck to the same routine, or if he worked a different shift. Charlie went grocery shopping every Saturday at 1:30, usually his only trip into town, and he never once saw Nick. The handful of times a month he’d go in for other reasons, it would be Nickless as well. It was as if the man only existed inside of the building, Schrödinger’s Nick, he’d taken to calling it in his head.
(Or, Charlie’s a recluse writer who can’t seem to write his second novel and Nick is a former rugby star who now owns a bakery.)

Summary
“What was Nick’s last name?” Oliver asks.
Charlie nearly chokes on a sip of his drink. “Sorry, what?”
“Nick. Your Nick. What was his last name?”
“Nelson. Why?”
“My form teacher’s name is Mr. Nelson. I think he’s new this year.”
For a moment, Charlie’s brain halts to a complete stop. He hasn’t talked to Nick Nelson in three years. Hasn’t thought about him in almost as long. It can't be the same Nelson. But what if it is?
OR
Nick and Charlie broke up at the start of Charlie's first year of uni. Unplanned circumstances brought Nick back home to Truham, where he's starting his first teaching job at his old school. When he gets his class lists, Nick is surprised to see Oliver Spring's name in his form group. As if the first year of teaching isn't stressful enough! Meanwhile, Charlie is shocked to hear that Nick is back in town and teaching his younger brother. But what's gone is gone. Charlie can't have Nick back in his life, even as a friend. Especially not when Charlie's too terrified to step even one foot outside of his flat. He can't need Nick Nelson again. But what if Nick needs him?
