    Summary

    Nick wasn’t really sure how to flirt or be flirted with. Plenty of girls had tried, and more than one he had tried to flirt back, but everything got lost on the way out.

     

    “Is that so?” Nick said. His voice was shaking. “I’m Nick, then.”

     

    “Charlie,” the boy, Charlie, said. “Don’t suppose we could bide our time together until our wedded friends return from their respective honeymoons.”

     

    “That’s… not a bad idea,” Nick swallowed nervously.

     

    --------

    An AU in which Nick and Charlie are uni students that make out at a party and it goes downhill from there.

    Summary

    “Love, are you coming to bed? I’m getting cold,” Charlie gently puts his hands on Nick’s cheeks just for Nick’s eyes to widen and for him to go stumbling back into the wall.

    “Listen, I’m sure you’re lovely, but I have a boyfriend,” Nick says, eyes glossy and very obviously unable to focus on Charlie in front of him, but he says it with such conviction that it stops Charlie in his tracks for a moment.

    Surely he didn’t hear that right. “You…have a boyfriend?”

    AKA The one where Nick is drunk, in love, and just a little bit horny for his boyfriend. Oh and he refuses to get into a stranger’s bed and cheat on his boyfriend…with his boyfriend.

    Summary

    Charlie is bad to his core and needs help with his eating. He's scrawny, and awkward, and says all the wrong things. Nick probably doesn't even have to try to be good all the time. Shining, golden boy.

    (With a golden retriever demeanor) (With those arms) (And god, that smile)

    Unknowingly, Charlie puts a desert of distance between him and Nick in his mind, where nothing can thrive.

    Nick somehow finds his way across it all the same.

    Summary

    14 years later, half his entire life so far, Charlie was pretty sure that Nick was really going to be his one and only, his soulmate.

    They were still so ridiculously in love, just about all of the time. Everyone seemed to be waiting for the honeymoon teenager phase to end, but it never felt like it did. They still kissed in stupid risky places, needed to be near each other all the time, always making sure to constantly stay in each other’s orbits.

    Even for two people who spent the last 5 years living together, the romance and happiness of it all had yet to actually wear off. Knowing he was going home with Nick tonight, still made him blush a bright shade of red, excitement running through him at the prospect of sleeping next to the man he loved more than anyone else.

    (Or, things are great between Charlie & Nick until something from Charlie’s past rears its ugly head and brings up a lot of other long buried things with it.)

    Summary

    The hand that was in his hair now rests on his cheek, Nick’s thumb rubbing soothing circles on it.

    “You can’t possibly think that.”

    “Nick…”

    Charlie can’t breathe. He doesn’t— this can’t— he is so lost.

    .....

    "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."
