    Summary

    "To a casual observer, it’s a propensity to stick my foot in my mouth. To my friends, it’s just another example of my bisexual panic rearing its glittery unicorn head. And that’s nice, really, that they consider this a cute little personality quirk, but they don’t know the horror of being unable to stop the stream of moronic nonsense spilling out of their lips. They don’t have to watch the object of their affection morph from interested to aghast with every passing second.

     

    I do.

     

    Over, and over, and over again."

     

    ------

    Or, what happens when Nick Nelson finally has a conversation with his crush, Charlie Spring, after avoiding it for twenty-three days.

    Summary

    Charlie feels himself relax completely into the touch, and into the sense-memory of last night, splaying his now-warm hand across Nick’s stomach to feel him breathe. When he lays a head on his chest, he can feel Nick’s heart thudding steadily beneath him: it’s the rhythm Charlie lives his life to.

     

    Or, a day in Nick and Charlie's lives.
    Title from True Blue, Boygenius.

    Summary

    Six years ago, soon after Charlie started uni, Nick and Charlie broke up. And their lives have been fine since. Really. It’s fine.

    Then they run into each other at a wedding, and it ignites a spark they had long since thought extinguished. But they can’t be long-distance again, they know it doesn’t work.

    A relationship, anyway. The sex still seems to be good.

    So maybe just a little bit, then. Once a year. This is too good to let go of completely. Right?
