“Can I help you?”
“Gosh I hope so,” Charlie blurted before he remembered where he was and that this friendly man was not flirting, but simply doing his job. He stepped forward to the desk. “Um. I have a 4:00 appointment.”

Summary
“Wanna practice kissing again?” Charlie whispered, warm breath infused with Moscato and sweet berries tickling Nick’s ear.
Nick’s eyes, dazed like peering through a veil of melted honey, widened.
“I–” Nick breathed, gripping the cup in his hand with so much force he thought the plastic might crack. “Yes.”
“Yeah?” Charlie asked, batting thick, dark lashes up at Nick’s flustered expression. “You don’t have to say yes, you know.”
“I can’t imagine ever saying no to you."
or, the one where nick has his first date with a boy and is nervous about what comes afterwards. charlie, his best friend, offers to help.

Summary
Something’s up with Nick.
Over the last few years I’ve become pretty good at reading him, peeking behind the Rugby King Nick Nelson mask he likes to put up. He does it around me sometimes too but not as often as he used to. But today, he’s got that wall up pretty high. He just keeps looking at me like he’s not sure I’m real anymore. A part of me wonders if I died and now I’m some unknowing ghost like Bruce Willis in the Sixth Sense, doomed to walk the Earth until someone tells me I’m dead.
Which I’m sure Nick wouldn’t tell me, he’d feel terrible about it because that’s just how Nick is. He feels terrible if anyone, me most of all, ever looks remotely sad about anything. He sees it as a weakness, I’m sure, but Nick’s endless empathy towards people is really a good thing. As long as those people don’t take advantage of him, at least.
So yeah, Nick’s acting strange today and I’m not sure why.

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?

’Billy pilgrim has come unstuck in time.’
That was the beginning, that book he was reading that first morning. When I was too focussed on his lips, the soft focus on his face, to be paying much attention to anything else.
Or

Summary
Nick clears his throat and wipes his hands on a napkin. “So Charlie, tell me about yourself.”
“Oh god!” Charlie giggles. “Anything but that fucking question!”
Nick joins him in his laughter. “A truly terrible question, on both dates and job interviews,” he chuckles. “I’ll try to do better. What do you do for work?”
Charlie swallows his food, feeling his heart rate immediately increase. If Nick is going to be an ass about this, he’d rather find out sooner than later. Might as well put all his cards on the table.
“I’m a sex worker,” Charlie replies.

Summary
The Lion took a step forward then, slightly closer to Charlie. “You wore the wolf.” He lifts his hands and gently traces the soft curve of the edge of Charlie’s mask, so his finger is half on the mask and half trailing across Charlie’s upper cheek. It makes Charlie shutter slightly, in the best way. He can’t help the smile that unfurls across his face.
Lion’s breath hitches for a moment, and then his finger drops slightly across his cheek. He presses it into the dimple on Charlie’s cheek. “You have dimples.” He says, he sounds entirely delighted, as if somehow dimples are a wonder to be marveled at. “I never knew you had dimples.”
Charlie raises his hand and catches Lion’s hand, pressing his fingers against his face until Lion’s palm is cupping his cheek. “I suppose my other masks covered them up.” He supplies. He does not want to let go of Lion’s hand. Instead, he uses where he is clutching it to his face to slide it slightly, till it cover’s his mouth and he is able to place a gentle kiss upon the owner's palm.

What's It Gonna Be? by PhoenixSpring

Summary
Nick is struggling with being bisexual in a world that seems to assume that straight or gay are the only two legitimate options. Call him a romantic, but he's not interested in hook ups and one night stands. He wants a relationship, with someone he can be his whole self with. And his true self is bi, and proud!
Charlie is struggling with trust and control after an abusive relationship in high school shatters his self esteem. His therapist has suggested he needs to find a hobby that pushes at his limits of being in control. Charlie thinks Geoff probably meant joining a band, or maybe rock climbing, and not seducing fit guys, who are way out of his league, for one night stands. Same results though, so what's the harm?
An aged up AU. Our two favourite boys are at the same Uni, but don't know each other yet. Until a chance encounter on a night out that ends up changing everything.
TW for mentions of self harm, ED, past SA/NonCon - nothing too extreme I hope, but they're definitely mention as part of Charlie's story. It's mainly fluff?

Summary
Here's the thing: soulmates are rare—really rare. Only people with rosemarks even have soulmates, and rosemarks aren't exactly common, are they? It makes sense that there would be so much misinformation out there about what happens in between getting your rosemark and figuring out who your soulmate actually is.
And there's no way Charlie Spring is Nick's soulmate. There's just no way—not when he's the reason Nick's got Hanahaki Disease and is coughing up petals.

Summary
It’s not really jealousy, he thinks. He isn’t jealous that Ben got there first. It’s nothing like that. It’s the fact that Ben didn’t care, doesn’t care, about all the precious things Charlie gave him. Ben took and took from Charlie and gave nothing in return. The thought of him using Charlie, especially like that. It makes him sick. It makes him possessive. It makes him want to fall to his knees and offer himself completely.
It makes him take off his jumper and hand it to Charlie just to see his smile.
***
An exploration of how Nick and Charlie's relationship might have changed if they explored sex earlier and deeper.**
