    Summary

    Charlie came to a stop at the light, about to tell Nick it was time to go since he was almost back to his dorms, when he suddenly jolted forward. It took him by surprise, he couldn’t help the yelp that escaped him.

    Nick was immediately talking, sounding far more panicked than Charlie even felt. “You okay? Charlie? Did something happen?”

    “Yes, but I’m fine, I think someone just hit my car."

    “Oh my god-”

    “Just a tap,” Charlie jumped in, shaking his head and taking stock of himself. Nothing hurt, he barely even moved forward, the seatbelt saved him from smacking his head on the steering wheel at least. “I’m fine, but I’ve gotta go see what’s going on. I promise I’ll call you back in a minute.”

    Summary

    He leans closer to Nick, smiling at the coolness of Nick’s pendant brushing against his shoulder as Nick curves towards him too; the bowing of two trees growing towards each other instead of the sun, like salvation and vitality is found within the other. “We said forever, right?”

    Charlie swears he hears Nick’s heart kick up a beat as intones softly, “Yeah, baby. Forever.”

    Charlie turns to looks at Nick and thinks of that James Baldwin quote that warms him like the golden rays of the last of summer's sunshine:

    "Love him and let him love you. Do you think anything else under heaven really matters?"


    charlie and nick met on hinge and fell in love. life hasn't been perfect, but it didn't have to be. they love each other. this is their happy ending.

    Summary

    This is all too much. The snow, the lost luggage, the jetlag, the entire last year with Ben. I want to sit here, flat on my ass in the middle of the concrete, and cry. But the big mitten is already in front of my face.
    “Up you go.” The hand inside the mitten is strong and I’m back on my feet easily.
    I try to steady myself. Physically and mentally.
    “Take this,” I hear, and the next moment, his coat clamps around me, the hood spilling over my forehead. I’m immediately enveloped in blissful warmth.
    ---
    OR: AU where Nick and Charlie meet in a study abroad program at a university in the North Carolina mountains. They drink cocoa, play in the snow, and of course, fall in love.

    Summary

    Juggling a new uni degree alongside a new job could be overwhelming. Luckily for Nick he's paired with Charlie his first day at work, and his new friend makes the mind numbing work just about bearable.

    Charlie soon becomes the best friend Nick's never had. He's funny, smart, kind... And attractive.

    Nick's straight.
    He's sure he's straight.
    He thinks he's straight.

    Yes, Charlie is his favourite person in the whole world, but that doesn't mean he wants to kiss him.

    ...Nick might not be straight.
