    Summary

    Charlie watches as the broad figure of his favourite customer slips through the door and disappears into the darkness of the bleak winter evening. He’s eternally grateful for the fact that the shop has pretty much emptied out now, and Elliot is occupied with washing up in the back room, giving him a moment alone to sigh dreamily to himself as he stares after him and lets the residual fluttering in his stomach settle back down to normal.

    —————

    Or, Charlie is slowly having his soul crushed working as a barista, but at least he has the daily visit from his favourite regular customer to look forward to. A coffee shop AU.

    Summary

    "I promise you," Nick says, "literally the only thing getting me through this last term is knowing I finally get to be with you properly once it's over."

    There's a note of desperation in his voice, and Charlie thinks about Nick's unplanned visit last weekend, the anxiety that seemed to pull him taut at unexpected moments, the underlying tension he couldn't quite put words to. Maybe it really is just Nick's mounting stress as his graduation approaches: a big, scary, looming Life Event that he's struggling to wrap his head around, and the extraneous stress is just spilling out all over them both.

    Charlie hates the niggling doubt in the dark recesses of his brain that whispers, but what if it's something else? What if the problem is you?

    University!fic. In which they're so close to not being long distance anymore, but something's clearly bothering Nick, and Charlie would really appreciate it if he would just talk to him about it already.

    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?

    Summary

    Nick squares his shoulders and sighs. He wishes he still had a drink in his hand to distract him. “Sometimes, people think Charlie and I have this, like, perfect relationship. That we’re too good to be true—'cause we’ve been together for so long, and we got together so young, and we love each other. Like, it’s—” he searches for the word— “unsustainable, or something.”

    Summary

    They’ve been doing this a lot this summer, too: walking around the city in the endless blue twilight, watching the setting sun bruise the sky, talking about nothing and peeking into the windows of houses in nicer areas, debating the décor. They don’t really have the money to do much else, but Charlie can’t think of anything else he’d rather be doing than just existing with Nick.
