2: Charlie - Version A

Summary:

Charlie tells Nick something.

Notes:

Just a reminder:

These drabbles are NOT an ongoing story! Each part (1-7) is an alternative future to 0: The Setting which is linked as the inspiration for this. If you haven't read that I suggest you do before continuing.

Work Text:

“Why the hell did you come?” Nick asked as he opened the door, looking into Charlie’s face. Which had kept him awake last night.

Without a word Charlie strode into the room. Nick closed the door. They faced each other.

“I came to wish you all the best. And happiness. You deserve it.”

Nick stared at him. “I didn’t expect - that.”

Charlie looked at him sadly. “Understandable. Look, whatever happened between us, you deserve this.To be happy.”

“And are you happy?” Nick shot back.

“Yes, I am,” Charlie smiled genuinely. “And I hope you let yourself be happy, too!”
