    Summary

    For months, Charlie could dismiss it. He was scared about Nick deciding he was straight, he was scared of making a wrong move, he was scared of getting caught and outing Nick. But after a while, he couldn’t deny it.

    Charlie was afraid when he kissed his boyfriend. And he knew why.

    Summary

    It doesn’t feel like Charlie exists in the world - he’s not real anymore - and he doesn’t understand why he even continues with such base functions as eating, and drinking, and peeing.

    If Nick doesn’t exist in the world then neither does he.

    Summary

    Nick and Charlie were together when they were twelve and thirteen. They never kissed or anything. Charlie was always too chicken to ask. When they broke up almost two years, Charlie didn’t realise it.

     

    But now, half a year later he does. He really did like Nick that way. He really did love him. He really did want to kiss him.

    This is basically a realisation that hit ME recently. I don’t want to get back with my ex, though. I did like them, I just don’t think we work as a couple. But it wouldn’t be Nick and Charlie if they wouldn’t get back together, so I changed a few things for plot reasons.
