Work Text:

They lay together in comfortable silence under the soft fairy lights, a Taylor Swift song gently playing from their bedroom speaker. Nick has his head on Charlie’s chest, his ear pressed against his heart. He feels Charlie’s delicate touch stroke his back in alluring lines and he can’t help his smile. This. This is where he wants to be for the rest of his life.
