Work Text:
Charlie opened the laptop as he snuggled next to Nick on the sofa.
The annual holiday shop.
“So, where do we start?” Nick asked while placing his tea to one side and switching off the telly.
“I honestly have no idea. I just know I’m done with Majorca. Please let’s go somewhere new.”
“Italy?”
“No.”
“Spain?”
Charlie just answered with a glare.
“Okay, how about we say no to Europe.”
“Oooo, I like it,” Charlie said excitedly as he sat up a little and started to type.
“Japan?” Nick asked curiously.
“Yeah, we could meet up with Andy and Shin.”
“In Japan?” Nick even to own ears sounded dumbfounded.
“Well, yeah,” Charlie replied as though now doubting his suggestion.
“We could go in their roll top bath,” Nick whispered as though Andy might hear him.
“And splosh water over the sides,” Charlie added with a giggle.
“They could take us to all the best places to eat.” Nick's tummy added a well timed rumble for effect making Charlie giggle once more.
“And New years, we could just stay in and have a Red Dwarf marathon,” Charlie added, tapping Nick's knee as his excitement level was clearly rising.
“So I’m booking flights?” Charlie asked with his fingers hovering over the keys on the laptop.
“We should ask first,” Nick answered with a nod.
“I mean, we could ask first. Or… we could surprise them,” Charlie replied with a wicked grin.
“You know, I’ve heard Andy say Shin has the same wicked grin when he’s being a menace too,” Nick laughed. Charlie cracked his knuckles and within ten minutes their flights were booked.
