    Summary

    Nick hadn’t expected to be seeking out Charlie Spring in a dingy nightclub after his relationship blows up.

    Charlie didn’t expect Nick Nelson to be one of those guys. The ones who are up for whatever fun he throws their way.

    Turns out, people can have a lot of stuff buried inside them.

    Summary

    “But you got me thinking last night,” says Nick. “I couldn’t stand that you thought I just wanted to throw you a—a—”

    “Pity fuck?” Charlie smirks over his tea.

    Nick shakes his head and digs into his own pastry. “Yes, that. You’ve been waiting all these years to meet someone who makes you feel safe and loved. And God, Charlie, you’re my best friend. Of course I want you to have that experience for your first time. So many people’s first times are utter shit. Mine was utter shit. I’d be an awful friend if I didn’t want you to have the best possible experience.”

    Charlie has no idea where he’s going with this.

    “So,” Nick says, a little nervous, “if you don’t want the first experience to be with me, then as your best friend, I feel it is my duty to help you find the person it will be with. If you want.”
