Summary
“What’s got you bothered, love?” Nick asks, running a hand down Charlie’s arm.
Charlie tries to talk again, taking a few breaths in. He wants to talk to Nick like he normally does, he wants to tell Nick what happened. He tries to speak, but the wall holding his words inside of him doesn’t crack, he still can’t seem to say a single word out loud. He can’t even form them in his head now he finds. It makes him want to rip out his hair and scream until all these words, everything he is feeling, spill out completely. He just wants to talk to his boyfriend for fuck’s sake, why does this have to be so difficult? He stutters, trying to say a syllable and fails, a frustrated sob breaking out of him as tears prick his eyes.
or
Charlie goes nonverbal after a stressful family dinner, rushes to his safe place, the Nelsons', and Nick is there for him.
