Chapter Text
Nick Nelson loves many things.
He loves his Charlie.
He loves his mum.
He loves his dogs.
And he absolutely loves Taylor Swift.
He was laying in bed scrolling through his phone one night in late August when he saw the post on MTV’s Instagram. It was a video of Taylor Swift announcing her new album, Midnights.
Charlie had been allowed to sleep over that night, since the two boys were going to head to school together in the morning.
Looking down at his boyfriend who’s head was resting peacefully on Nick’s chest, he saw that he was very much asleep, but Nick was way too excited about this news to keep it to himself.
He began to shake Charlie awake and whisper yell, “Char, Char, Char, wake up!” The boy did not budge.
He spoke a little louder, “Charlie, baby, I need to tell you something important. Wake up, my love”
Finally, he started to move around. He rubbed his eyes and looked up at Nick, clearly confused as to why he was staring down at him with such wide eyes and a matching smile.
“Nick, what’s going on?” He yawned.
“Oh my god, Char. I’m so happy you’re awake! Look!” He shoved the phone towards his boyfriend's face, turning the volume all the way up.
“Taylor Swift has a new album coming out soon! Can you believe it, Char? I’m so excited,” Nick beamed.
“Babe, I love you. I’d do anything for you, you know that,” Charlie began, eyes on their way to closing again, “but being woken up for this is not one of them, go to sleep Nick,” Charlie groaned.
“But Charlieeee, this is so exciting. How am I supposed to hold all of my excitement in until tomorrow?” Nick pouted like a child.
“Nicholas Luke Nelson. Bedtime. Now. Or I sleep on the floor,” Charlie scolded.
“No! I need you up here for cuddles,” Nick gripped tightly on to Charlie.
“I will stay up here if you close your eyes and let me sleep,” Charlie yawned again.
“Fine. But can we talk about it in the morning?” Nick pleaded.
“Yes, Nick. We can talk about Taylor Swift all you want in the morning,” Charlie reassured.
Nick kissed his boyfriend’s head, “Okay. Goodnight baby, love you”.
Charlie barely got out a “love you more,” before drifting back off to sleep.
