    Summary

    And so, this year, on a bright and cold January second, wrapped up in bed with a hangover and a pit in his stomach, Nick had resolved to do the one thing that he’d been tiptoeing around for the past four years: tell Charlie Spring he loves him.

    At every turn so far, Nick has chickened out.

    Now though, with two and a half hours until the new year arrives, he has no choice but to be brave.

    --

    Prompt: Sarah always used to tell Nick that new year's resolutions were magical and to use them only for things he really really cares about. At the start of the year, Nick made a New Year's Resolution to tell his best friend Charlie that he's in love with him but has kept chickening out. Now, it's Dec 31st and he's desperately trying to tell him before midnight because he's convinced if he doesn't then it's bad luck. It's a NYE party, and they keep getting interrupted by friends etc.
