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.”

Summary
March 2024: Nick and Charlie, platonic soulmates and partners in crime, are on the road trip of a lifetime around the beautiful and magical east coast of Australia. Charlie has barely seen his best friend since he left for uni over two years ago, and he's looking forward to catching up over three sun-soaked weeks packed full of breathtaking scenery, local wildlife, moonlit parties and seriously hot surfers.
September 2015: 13-year-old Nick Nelson has no idea who he is or where he fits in. Then 11-year-old Charlie Spring, anxious overthinker and raging introvert, crashes rather messily into his life and changes it forever.
A story about friendship, love and growing up, with a generous sprinkling of true travel stories, savage British banter and horny sparkles.

Summary
Once the room clears, Nick takes a deep breath. “So, half-term. How have your exams been going?”
“Can I suck you off?”
Charlie is patient as Nick does a double-take at his request, staggering back and knocking over a bottle of tequila. He sips his vodka lemonade and waits.
“What, er—now?!” Nick splutters.
“Why not?” He’s emboldened now. This loop is quickly becoming hell on earth, but maybe it doesn’t have to be, not all the time. There are no consequences for him in the loop. Anything he does is forgotten the next day. Nick could scream at him, punch him in the nose, do whatever he wants—tomorrow, he’ll still be here, serving him a vodka lemonade with a shy smile. What has he got to lose?

Numbness, Softened by You by WillieTheNerd

Summary
After a devastating accident leaves Nick Nelson paraplegic, his once-vibrant world of rugby, friends, and independence comes crashing down. Struggling to adapt to his new reality, Nick feels trapped—by his wheelchair, his blank new room, and the overwhelming numbness that has taken hold of his body and heart.
Haunted by the life he lost, Nick retreats inward, shutting out his friends and even his beloved mother, who is doing everything she can to keep him afloat. Just as his hope begins to dwindle, an unexpected connection with Charlie Spring, a kind and thoughtful boy from school, starts to change everything.
Charlie's unwavering support and gentle love begin to chip away at Nick's despair, filling the emptiness with warmth and possibility. As their bond deepens, Nick learns that while his life may never be the same, it can still be filled with new joys and meanings—and perhaps, even love.

Summary
“We could pretend to hate each other?” I suggest, “It might scare Tara and Darcy away from setting people up.”
“That sounds fun,” Nick agrees, “The only problem is I have never hated someone before.”
“Pleasure to be your first,” I respond.
-or-
Based off: Fake dating is fine, but fake hating is BETTER. “You’re the bane of my existence.” in public but “You’re the reason I exist” in private. Snarky jabs as flirty foreplay. Secret kisses in dark corners. “We came out of the same room flushed and undone because we were ARGUING.”- Language:
