    Summary

    Charlie Spring doesn’t have time for frat boys. He especially doesn’t have time for Nick Nelson, who sits next to him in Environmental Science, lives across the hall, and seems to enjoy making Charlie’s life a living hell.

    It’s bad enough that Charlie keeps making questionable choices with Nick’s frat brother, but now he’s stuck being Nick’s lab partner for an entire term. Which means late-night arguments, and an increasing amount of Nick invading Charlie’s space, his thoughts, and—unfortunately—his sex life.

    Charlie is absolutely not into him. Nope. Not at all.

    ⚠️ CONTENT WARNING FOR THIS FIC ⚠️
    Unhealthy coping mechanisms (alcohol, avoidance, reckless behavior)
    Power plays/dominance struggles in sexual and emotional contexts
    Messy, petty, and toxic relationship dynamics (that will eventually have payoff, but we’re suffering a lot first)
    Aggressive physical interactions (pushing, shoving, grabbing—always within the bounds of their dynamic, but intense nonetheless)
    Charlie Spring being an absolute menace to society
    If you’re here for the chaotic, messy, slow-burn tension, you’re in the right place. Just know what you’re getting into.
