Summary
After another disappointing relationship fizzles out before it starts, Charlie Spring finds himself wanting to reconnect with one of his former best friends (and on again off again crush), Nick Nelson. But how do you get back in touch with a person who drunkenly confessed his feelings to you, whose heart you broke in the process, and who you haven't spoken to in years?
___Or, the one where guidance counselor Charlie finally realizes hot carpenter Nick has loved him for years, and has to convince him to give him one more chance before it's too late.
___
This fic has inspired a sister story, told from Nick's POV: Remember Me.
If you enjoy this one, join me over there! It's not a straight re-telling; it's a standalone story that focuses on Nick's perspective and fills in some of the gaps from this one.Thanks to AO3 user KariCl569 for pointing me toward the song "The Promise" by Tracy Chapman. It's beautiful and so fitting.

Summary
Nick Nelson is doing so much better. He's got a good job as the Head Carpenter at Habitat for Humanity in Philadelphia, has good friends, and has navigated his way through a rough couple of years only to emerge a stronger, more self-assured, and passionate version of himself. But then he gets a message from Charlie Spring. Yeah, that Charlie Spring. His former best friend. The first person he ever loved. The person he drunkenly confessed his feelings to in a move so chaotic that Charlie hasn't spoken to him since. Can this new and improved version of Nick find a way to be friends with Charlie again without getting his heart broken for a second time?

A song that really feels like it hits the notes of this story is Ivy by Frank Ocean. Take a listen to get into the mood.

Summary
"To a casual observer, it’s a propensity to stick my foot in my mouth. To my friends, it’s just another example of my bisexual panic rearing its glittery unicorn head. And that’s nice, really, that they consider this a cute little personality quirk, but they don’t know the horror of being unable to stop the stream of moronic nonsense spilling out of their lips. They don’t have to watch the object of their affection morph from interested to aghast with every passing second.
I do.
Over, and over, and over again."

Or, what happens when Nick Nelson finally has a conversation with his crush, Charlie Spring, after avoiding it for twenty-three days.
