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
At the end of a long week, Nick likes to unwind with a night out and a warm body in his bed. He’s been in his slut era for a while now and can charm the pants off someone with his eyes closed; who knew he’d turn out to be such a natural at pulling?
But then Charlie appears on the scene, who is just as confident, attractive and unashamedly flirtatious as Nick is. He’s there for the same thing - to forget the world, have fun and mess around. And he’s damn good at it. Maybe even better than Nick.
From the moment they meet, it feels a bit like this town isn’t big enough for the both of them. And so the rivalry begins.
Please note the final chapter contains explicit smut. The rest of the story is M-rated. ❤️
