Summary
“What was Nick’s last name?” Oliver asks.
Charlie nearly chokes on a sip of his drink. “Sorry, what?”
“Nick. Your Nick. What was his last name?”
“Nelson. Why?”
“My form teacher’s name is Mr. Nelson. I think he’s new this year.”
For a moment, Charlie’s brain halts to a complete stop. He hasn’t talked to Nick Nelson in three years. Hasn’t thought about him in almost as long. It can't be the same Nelson. But what if it is?
OR
Nick and Charlie broke up at the start of Charlie's first year of uni. Unplanned circumstances brought Nick back home to Truham, where he's starting his first teaching job at his old school. When he gets his class lists, Nick is surprised to see Oliver Spring's name in his form group. As if the first year of teaching isn't stressful enough! Meanwhile, Charlie is shocked to hear that Nick is back in town and teaching his younger brother. But what's gone is gone. Charlie can't have Nick back in his life, even as a friend. Especially not when Charlie's too terrified to step even one foot outside of his flat. He can't need Nick Nelson again. But what if Nick needs him?

Summary
A doctor steps in and blocks his way. “Sir, you can’t go in there!”
“No, no, no,” says Charlie, “you don’t understand—”
“Are you family?”
“No, but—”
“Family only,” he informs him sternly, disappearing behind the glass door. The doctor joins the throng of medical personnel surrounding the man’s body, and when they wheel the gurney out of sight, Charlie staggers back from the glass wall like he’s been punched.
Shock and helplessness coalesce within him. Inexplicably, he finds himself laughing, his trembling fingers lifting to his lips to contain the mirthless giggles that spill forth. “Oh, God,” he whispers. “I was going to marry that man.”
The nurse at the desk drops her jaw. “Oh, luv.”

Summary
Charlie looked shyly around the circle of other patients waiting for the therapist. He felt his jaw slacken as his eyes focused on the startled face of the man seated directly across from him.
A man he recognised.
Nick Nelson.
At least, he was pretty sure that was Nick Nelson staring back at him. He looked a little worse for wear, but Charlie supposed he wouldn’t be here if that wasn’t the case.
