Summary
Nick Nelson didn’t believe in love.
It wasn’t some stupid thing either, it was a lesson he’d learned from his entire life. Even when he was five years old, watching his parents fight all of the time before they eventually divorced, he knew all love ever did was hurt people. He knew how sad his mum was, how angry David became and how easily his dad just fucked off.
It wasn’t any better when Nick realised he had feelings for girls and then boys, either. Out of the three girls he kissed in secondary, two of them turned out to be queer, which fine, he didn’t really mind that. And the other one only kissed him to make another boy jealous. Which was all sorts of hurtful, being used by someone just to further their own agenda. They never cared about Nick’s feelings in the slightest.
(or Nick is Cranky and then meets Charlie Spring and suddenly he's feeling less cranky)
