    Summary

    “Nothing’s wrong, nothing happened,” He reassures. “I just want to come home.”

    “Charlie - ”

    “I just really want to be with you tonight,” Charlie interrupts.

    Nick’s heart skips a beat.

    “Is- is that ok?” Charlie asks when Nick doesn’t respond immediately.

    This, more than anything, sets off an alarm in Nick’s head. It’s rare, these days, for Charlie to question things like he used to.

    OR

    When another long term couple breaks up, Charlie needs reassurance. Nick is more than happy to give it.

    Summary

    "They stand side by side brushing their teeth, and Charlie can’t tear his eyes away from Nick. He looks soft in an old hoodie and joggers, his hair flopping over his forehead and his eyes sleepy behind the lenses of his glasses. It makes Charlie want to reach out and touch, pull Nick close and keep him there, soft under Charlie’s hands."

    The one where Nick and Charlie go away with their friends for a weekend. Charlie is freezing and Nick is a human radiator.

    Summary

    What if Nick and Charlie met for the first time as roommates freshman year of college? What if it takes Nick a lot longer to figure out he might feel more than just friendship for Charlie?

    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

    "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."
