Charlie could not believe it was the day he was marrying Nick. He and Nick had been through so much together, and finally, they were to be married. 

Charlie was finishing his suit. He was in the room with Tori, Olly, Tao, Issac, and Elle. 

“How do I look?” Charlie asked. 

“You look amazing,” Elle said. 

“I’m so happy that Nick will finally be my big brother,” Olly said. 

“At first, I wasn’t sure about Nick, but now I’m happy the two of you are getting married,” Tao said. 

“I’m so happy you are getting married,” Isaac said, looking into his book. 

“Charlie, it’s time to go,” Tori said. 

Nick was in another room getting his finishing touches done for his wedding to Charlie. He was in the room with Sai, Christian, Otis, Tara, Darcy, and Sahar. 

“How do I look?” Nick asked nervously. 

“If I weren’t a total lesbian, I would marry you,” Darcy said. 

“Kissing you was how I realised I don’t like kissing boys. But you are one of my best friends, and I am so happy you are getting married,” Tara said. 

“Bi solidarity,” Sahar said and fist-bumped Nick.

“Let’s go. We don’t want to keep Charlie waiting,” Nick said. 

Nick looked at the mirror one last time and turned around to leave to get married. 

The wedding party walked down the aisle. It was time for Nick and Charlie to walk down the aisle. Tori and Olly were walking down Charlie. His mum was walking down Nick. 

When they arrived at the alter, Nick and Charlie looked into each other’s eyes, took each other’s hands, and smiled at each other. 

Nick thought that Charlie was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. 

Charlie thought Nick was the most beautiful man he had ever seen. 

The registrar cleared her throat and began talking. 

“Welcome everyone to Nick and Charlie's wedding. Nick and Charlie would like to share their own vows.”

“Charlie, when we first met, I hid who I was and didn’t even know it. I didn’t realise I was bisexual. I was pretending to be one of those rugby lads. I was always a people pleaser, trying to be whoever everyone wanted me to be. You helped me become who I was supposed to be. I am forever thankful that you sat next to me in form. You changed my life, Charlie. You are the strongest, most beautiful, kindest, sassiest person I have ever met. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you,” Nick said with tears in his eyes. 

“Nick, when I was sat next to you in form, I was going through many things. But it all became easier because of you. A problem shared is a problem halved. You made me find my inner bravery and deal head-on with my problems. I became the man I always wanted to be by your side. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you. Us against the world forever,” Charlie said with tears. 

“Great,” the registrar said. Now that we have the vows, we can proceed to the central part. Repeat after me: I, Nicholas Nelson, Take you, Charles Spring, to be my lawful wedded husband.”

“I, Nicholas Nelson, Take you, Charles Spring, to be my lawful wedded husband,” Nick said. 

“I, Charles Spring, take you, Nicholas Nelson, to be my lawful wedded husband,” Charlie said. 

“All that I am, I give to you and all that I have, I share with you,” Nick said, sliding the ring on Charlie’s finger. 

“I promise to be faithful and honest and share my struggles with you,” Charlie said, sliding the ring on Nick’s finger. 

“I promise to be who I am and share the real me with you,” Nick said.

“In sickness and health throughout our life together,” Charlie said. 

“Great, I now pronounce you husbands. You may kiss each other,” The registrar said. 

Nick and Charlie kiss. It was their first kiss as husbands. It was soft, full of love, and showed all the love the two of them had for each other. Kissing as husbands was so freeing, knowing that they were bonded to each other forever. 

Everyone threw confetti at them as Nick and Charlie swayed into their kiss. After they pulled apart from the kiss, Nick and Charlie walked up the aisle hand in hand. They could not believe that they were married. 

Nick and Charlie walked into the reception room. It was time to celebrate with friends and family that the two of them had been married. 

“Char, I can’t believe we’re married,” Nick said in awe, tickling Charlie. 

“I can’t believe you’re my husband Nick. It’s like all my dreams came true,” Charlie said. 

“To the happy couple,” their friends all cheered in unison. 

Nick and Charlie sat down at their table. Charlie sat in Nick’s lap. Charlie was having a good day and had not had a bad food day in so long. He felt he could eat. 

The first course was served, and Nick and Charlie dug into the food. 

“Now it is time for the married couple to dance their first dance as husbands,” the singer announced. 

Nick took Charlie's hand and led him to the dance floor. They had talked for a while about their song and came to a united conclusion. Nick and Charlie swayed to the music, staring into each other’s eyes. 

Nick looked into Charlie’s beautiful blue eyes, feeling like he was staring into his soul. He could not believe that Charlie was his husband. He was so lucky to spend the rest of his life with that man. Charlie’s dimples were showing, and they were so beautiful. Nick felt he could do whatever he put his mind to when he was in Charlie’s arms. 

Charlie looked into Nick’s brown eyes. Nick was a few inches taller than him. He looked at him as they swayed to the music. Nick was his husband. Charlie could not believe it. The love of his life was finally his husband. He had been with Nick since he was fourteen. In those years, they had been through so much together. Now was the continuation of their journey and a new beginning as husbands. 

Nick and Charlie slowly swayed until the song ended. The next song was more upbeat, and Nick and Charlie tried their best to dance. Neither of them was an excellent dancer, but it was their wedding, and they were allowed to have fun. 

Soon, it was time for the main course. Nick and Charlie sat down and ate the food. They were ecstatic that family friends surrounded them and each other as husbands. 

When it was time to cut the cake, Nick and Charlie walked to it and took the knife in their hands. They cut the cake in unison. Charlie took a piece of cake and shoved it in Nick's mouth, smearing it around Nick’s face. Nick smeared the cake around Charlie’s cheeks. 

Nick and Charlie giggled. They laughed and kissed, tasting the cake on each other’s lips. 

“I love you, Char,” Nick said. 

“I love you too,” Charlie said. 

Nick and Charlie kissed. They were happy and carefree and husbands. 

Soon, it was time for them to leave and head out for their honeymoon. They would enjoy the rest of their lives together.

Married husbands. 

Forever and Always.

Pairing: Nick and Charlie

(also ft Tao, Elle, Tara, Darcy, Imogen, Tori and Issac)

Summary: Nick and Charlie with their first child in the future, that’s all. Fluff ensues. Imogen is their surrogate bc why not.

••••••••••••

“Nick, we are not naming our child after a marvel character!”

“What? Why not?”

The famous Nelson puppy dog eyes stared at Charlie who sighed with an amused smile. Nick’s face inched closer to his husbands, his head flopping onto Charlie’s shoulder.

“Because,” Charlie sighed, running his fingers through Nick’s hair and kissing his head. “I don’t want to name our child Stark. That’s not fair to anyone.”

Nick laughed, the smile lingering on his lips as he looked at Charlie scroll through yet another baby name website.

Our child.

It was surreal to Nick that he was going to be a father. Even after 8 and a half months of expecting it.

Last year after babysitting Tara and Darcy’s 1 year old, Charlie and Nick had mutually fallen in love with the idea of children of their own, many pictures of the other holding the baby and playing with him saved on their phone.

They had decided to go through the surrogacy route, wanting to be a part of every step of the process but it turned out a lot harder than they had expected. Every person that came along didn’t seem quite right and there was one woman who was even passively aggressively homophobic. Needless to say she was told where to go.

“What if I did it? What if I was yours and Charlie’s surrogate?”

Nick looked up at one of his long time friends from school, sitting across from him in the coffee shop where he had been going on about his problems. A smile lifted onto his lips before promptly falling.

“Imogen that’s- it’s a big ask to take on. Are you sure you’d be okay with it?”

Imogen took a sip of her frappe and smiled widely, coming to sit next to Nick on the booth seat.

“Nicolas! Of course I would! I would be honored. I am an ally after all.” She gave a wink before Nick wrapped her up in a tight hug, a laugh mixed with amusement and relief escaping him.

“I’ll have to talk to Char but thank you! You’re amazing!”

Nick felt his eyes well up with tears out of pure happiness, this could finally be it.

And it was.

Charlie was fully on board, thanking Imogen with a bouquet of flowers as Nick triple checked she was definitely okay with it.

She nodded and so their journey began.

Sometimes Charlie and Nick felt guilty because pregnancy had taken its toll on Imogen and most people around her but she assured them she was fine and that it was all going to be worth it.

Imogen had never been more right.

Nick woke up to his phone ringing at 2 o’clock in the morning. He knew the sound was different to his alarm but he attempted to press snooze anyway. He must have pressed the green button because a small, panicked voice came out of the speaker.

“Nick?!”

“Mhm?” Nick mumbled, still half asleep and jealous of the way his husband was still snoring on his chest.

“It’s happening.”

“Wha-?” His brain quickly caught on to what was happening and realized it was Imogen on the phone. “You mean-?!”

“Yes you idiot! The baby’s coming!” Imogen’s shouting was followed by a large groan of pain.

“We’re on our way!”

Nick shook Charlie awake, the panic and excitement starting to set in. “Char!”

“5 more minutes.” Charlie mumbled, burying his head into Nick who insisted on getting up which he never usually did. “Wha’s happening?”

“We’re gonna be dads!” Nick untangled himself as he got up and started putting his clothes on hurriedly.

Charlie’s heart pounded as he realized what was going on. He sprung out of bed and started getting dressed, in an even more panicked state than Nick was.

Before they got in the car Nick wrapped his arms around a stressed Charlie and kissed his cheek. They both instantly felt more calm. “Char, it’s gonna be okay. We’re gonna meet our baby today.”

Nick’s smile and touch calmed Charlie’s nervous rambles, taking a moment to breathe and cherish his husband before getting in the car and driving to the hospital where they had arranged to meet Imogen.

The next few hours passed by in a blur of nurses, doctors, screaming and Charlie nervously pacing and rambling. Nick however felt strangely calm like this is what he had been waiting for all of his life. Similar to how he had felt on their wedding day.

They were in there whilst Imogen gave birth, she almost ended up knocking Charlie out on accident and squeezed Nick’s hand so hard that he was sure his wedding ring had somehow pierced through his finger.

And then there she was. Their perfect little baby, crying at the top of her lungs and being wrapped in a small blanket once she was all clean. Imogen flopped back onto the hospital bed and sighed, a tired smile on her face as the doctor handed the baby to Charlie.

“Oh,” Charlie almost looked shocked that he was the first one to hold her but as soon as his eyes saw her there was nothing but pure love and adoration. “Hi.”

Nick wrapped his arms around Charlie and looked down at his daughter. His heart soared as he saw her, tiny and perfect.

“Hi.”

They couldn’t take their eyes off of her or each other. Their perfect little family. Nick wiped away Charlie’s tears, letting his own fall down his cheeks onto Charlie’s shoulder before he was passed their daughter by his husband.

“I think someone wants to say hi to her dada.” And at that moment she opened her eyes, staring straight at Nick who gasped at the sight of her.

“You’re beautiful. I think she’s going to have your hair.” Nick smiled, laughing with his husband as Charlie shook his head.

Even though they had mixed their sperm together so neither could be sure who was the biological father, Nick hoped it was Charlie.

“You’re just saying that because you like my hair.”

Nick laughed and nodded, gently placing a kiss on the tiny baby’s forehead. “I love her already.”

Charlie stroked her cheek with his finger and nodded in agreement. “Me too. I love our family.”

Nick was the first to fall asleep with the baby in his arms on the hospital armchair as Charlie took a quick picture on his phone. He admired his husband and his daughter, thinking of how amazing his life was now and never wanting this moment or feeling to fade away.

He kissed Nick’s head before hearing a tiny knock on the door. Tao peeked in quietly with a large assortment of balloons and behind him Charlie could see Elle, Issac and Tori trying to edge their way in to have a look at the new arrival.

“Can we come in?”

Charlie nodded with a finger against his lips, urging them to be as quiet as they can. Tao nodded and tiptoed his way in before bumping loudly into one of the chairs, waking Nick and the baby up.

Elle smacked Tao on the arm and apologised to Charlie and Nick before coming closer to get a look at the baby.

“Oh my gosh! She’s gorgeous!”

Nick smiled sleepily, greeting the rest of his friends as he gently rocked the baby in his arms.

No matter what he tried she wouldn’t calm down, the chatter in the room of visitors talking to Imogen and the new parents didn’t help. Elle offered to take her and Nick nodded, smiling gratefully.

In an instant the baby had calmed down in Elle’s arms. Nick looked at her bewildered.

“Okay you have to teach me how to do that.”

Elle laughed and smiled, patting Nick on the shoulder before going to show her expert baby skills to Tao.

“So has this little one got a name?” Issac asked after having his turn of holding the baby in his arms. She was now with Charlie who was attempting to feed her with Nick at his side. They shared a look of agreement and smiled.

“Alice Tori Nelson-Spring.”

Tori looked up from her coffee she had grabbed from the cafe and stared at her brother and husband. They both smiled at her, letting her know that it was indeed what she was thinking.

“You’ve always been there for me, Tori. I wanted Alice to know that her auntie would always be there for her too and without you I don’t know if I’d be here.” Charlie cleared his throat as his eyes welled up with tears before Tori could cross the room and hug him, something she rarely did to anyone besides Charlie.

She nodded in thank you and smiled to both of them before everyone else cooed at the sweet moment.

“Oh shut it.” Tori turned and glared at the others in the room but the pink on her cheeks and emotion in her eyes let them know she wasn’t all that serious.

“And of course her amazing aunts and uncles.” Nick smiled to the rest of the group who all smiled back and piled in for a group hug, careful of Alice in between them. Even Tori joined in.

It would be a busy time what with visitors including Tara and Darcy and grandparents to meet so Nick and Charlie cherished this moment with their friends who had been with them through it all.

They smiled at each other after the hug ended and shared a kiss, surrounded by the rest of their perfect family.

Thank you for reading! Let me know if you liked it and would like more of my writing!

Her face is impassive now, and blank, but she crosses her arms tightly over her chest. “You will not speak to me that way, Charlie. You will speak to me with respect. I am your mother.”

“Yeah? And I wish you weren’t."

Charlie strains on his tiptoes to see - he can’t see much over the people standing in front of him, crowding to look at what’s happening on the pitch. He shuffles out of his row to stand on the steps of the stands and is rewarded with a much better view of what’s happening.  Something’s wrong. Very wrong. Charlie watches as  Nick snatches out his mouth guard and squares up to the player who shoulder checked him - the loosehead prop. Nick looks dwarfed next to him. Number 1 is looking down at Nick with a grin that Charlie recognises; it’s the same one Harry wore right before he did or said something that caused Nick to glower - similar to the one he sports now. Fuck.

Charlie had let slip hours before in form group that it was his birthday, and anxiously invited Nick along. Nick, obviously, agreed enthusiastically. How could he not?

So, it was done. He was going to Charlie’s party on Saturday. Come fire, flood or rain - he was making it to the Hollywood Bowl with gift in hand.

"So!" Steve starts with a smile. "Nick. Why did you decide to come to therapy?"   Nick wants to say,  I was a victim of a hate-crime, and I think it's changed me. I think I may be traumatised. I started several fights, and my boyfriend got hurt because of me. I feel an overwhelming, incredibly burdensome amount of guilt that feels like it's crushing me everyday as a result. I have a level of rage within me that I think could be dangerous if it continues to go unchecked. I don't think I've had a moment's peace in about a year, and I have to keep choking back my feelings because of the weight of all the responsibility I feel on my shoulders.

Close your eyes. A short Narlie AU.

Nick's POV The first part is a memory of Nick's

My mum had always taught me that if I didn't want to see something I should just close my eyes, If I didn't want to hear something just cover my ears. On occasion, she would cover them for me whilst she and my dad argued. Some of it obviously was just to distract me from the shouting but other times I think it was to hide the tears that ran from her eyes that she didn't want me to see. Mum always wanted me to believe that all was right and well and happy. As time grew on it became a coping mechanism of mine for many different things.

It still influenced me now as an adult from time to time. Not as much because I was living with my very own handsome prince but on the occasion when there was cases of people just been homophobic for no reason because I walked around holding the hands of he who was my boyfriend and yet I had a daughter sitting upon my shoulders.

The daughter I am on about is Emma, Emma Nelson. My boyfriend and I agreed to adopt her officially but that was all before he went off and left us without a word. Emma was my whole world she is gripping onto my arm with her scared face. I placed my hands delicately over her face. "Close your eyes Emma and when you open them all will be OK again." I whispered before I put my hands over her ears.

I have to admit this had been one of the worse times I have had to do it for Emma. It only felt right to pass it on to her. I closed my own eyes for a good five seconds before I navigated us towards a toy shop.

"3-2-1, Open your eyes, honey, it's all ok," I told her as I followed her into the door. Her eyes widened as she walked through the door. It was another close encounter of seeing her father. Well kind of. To say the least, he was preparing himself for shouting at us both knowing it would hurt me.

I had lost all hope of ever been able to find another guardian for Emma despite my bisexualness. I am just a lousy primary school teacher who is a single parent to an adopted daughter.

"Papa, look at all the lego sets." Emma told me pointing to a group of shelves filled with boxes of all kinds of creations awaiting to be built.

Next to the Lego however was a man. A man who caught my eye and brought my attention to his wonderful curls. They looked fluffy and elegant. He smiled hello in my direction before he walked over to us. He knelt down to talk to Emma.

Emma attempted to shake his hand and he offered his and they shook hands "Hello there, what is your name?"

"Hello I'm Emma I am 4 years old and this is my Pappa, his name is Nick he says it is rude to discuss older people's ages so I won't tell you his."

I couldn't help but laugh. This man is probably straight with his own children at home because of how well he is treating Emma.

The man looked up at me but didn't speak a word to me before turning back to Emma "My name is Charlie."

"It's nice to meet you, Charlie, do you have any preferred pronouns?" She asked him.

Charlie's look was shocked probably because a four-year-old just asked him that. "I use he/they pronouns what about you?"

"Papa did you hear that I don't want you to misuse their pronouns because you didn't hear him." She told me poking my arm.

I nodded "I heard them don't worry Emma."

"Good because otherwise, I will send you to lego prison." She told me smugly with a giggle full of mischief.

Charlie looked at Emma "Do you like Lego then?"

"I love it, I especially like building pride flags." She revealed with a grin.

The man smiled "I love that, I am gay so I just have the causal rainbow flag on my bracelet." He pulled his sleeve up and showed her a bracelet that he was wearing.

"Papa do you want to show him yours, you don't have to if you don't want to."She whispered in my ear whilst Charlie was distracted by Emma's rainbow shoelaces that he had just offered to tie as they had come undone.

I shrugged not sure whether to or not. "That's ok Papa you don't have to," She whispered as she walked over to some of the sets and showed an interest in a London eye one. Emma really wanted to build a whole Lego city and it was good bonding time for us both so I picked it up to buy it whilst she browsed the other shelves.

"You have brought her up so well you know," Charlie told me as she waved to another little girl who was looking at sets.

I smiled "It wasn't that much effort when she is an angel."

"Well does she have a mother in her life?" He asked.

I sighed "She did have a second father but he sod off and left us. We saw him earlier before I brought her here.

"Oh sorry, I shouldn't have assumed." He told me looking guilty and I could hear the spirals of his thoughts panicking.

I laughed "It's ok don't worry about it. However she does have about four aunts who are my best friends, two are married and the others are sapphic and embracing the single life."

"That's cool, would you be interested in maybe going on a date at some point?" he asked me.

This attractive man wants to go on a date with me. "Ummmm sure let me give you my number.

Memory over and fading back to the present time.

Thoughts were spiralling in my brain that was three years ago today. The day I met my now boyfriend.

"Nick, Nick are you ok love you zoned out?" Charlie asked me standing up next to my chair at the table.

I planted a kiss on his cheek "I am just thinking how three years ago today we all met for the first time well all except two." I told them. It was kind of true.

Emma smiled "And yet we are now here and building a lego big ben." She was now seven and had a brother who was still a baby but he was sitting in his high chair next to his sister.

Thomas, Tom for short giggled slightly as his sister tickled him. Emma was a great sister and Charlie was a great father. This was my fabulous life. Emma's rabbit Daisy was in the corner and sleeping but it was my wonderful family.

It was obviously kind of strange how the family had been made but it had and I was the luckiest man in the world. I was lucky because of my family, not the Lego London that lived in the lounge room and took up quite a lot of space among some of the other random lego creations. This included a lego us that Emma had made that we decided to sit upon the mantelpiece.

Tom made a noise that usually meant tears were coming so usually Char or I would pick him up and walk him about but his sister picked him up and started singing to him. Emma had a beautiful voice and instantly calmed him again. I don't think she realised it but she was singing a song that was on the radio in the shop we met in. My brain remembered it all. And I can only hope it would always remember it all.

i'm cold-blooded, love (chapter 1)

My Heartstopper vampire AU is live! Link here

It's 1790, and Charlie and his partner Pietro are living in Italy, madly in love. Charlie's a vampire and Pietro isn't, so Pietro passed away after a long life.

It's January 2024. Charlie's living in England, and through a strange coincidence, he stumbles across a very... familiar restaurant server.

It's his partner, reincarnated. Meet Nick.

Pietro would have loved Instagram.

He liked taking daguerreotypes on his heavy-as-a-stove machine. The photographs took twenty-five minutes to develop, and in between one view of the window and the next, he and Charlie would… would unravel each other’s clothes, hiding beneath the triple-bolted door and the heavy blankets Pietro’s mum had given them.

“No one,” Pietro would say, “could tear me away from you.” He pressed kisses like wax seals to the cool grey skin of Charlie’s neck, then beneath the collar of his shirt 一 his knobby collarbone, his stretch-marked belly, the wide strips of skin between his ribs.

“If you’re seeking a god,” Charlie used to pant, “I’ll give you an altar.” Dear Christ, Mother Mary, he’d hope they wouldn’t be discovered.

“You will, hmm?”

“Upon which you can worship-” Charlie would stutter out, “me, your grace.”

He used to have nightmares of black hounds nipping at his and Pietro’s heels, dagger teeth tearing their Achilles.[5]

“Please,” Charlie would spill forth. “Please.” If he were to die that night, he could die in his lover’s grasp. They couldn’t possibly be buried together, but it would be enough, more than fucking enough, to fall from the earth and sink into a cursed purgatory if he were in Pietro’s arms.[6]

“Your grace?” Pietro would ask. There was that glint in his eye again.

“Indeed,” Charlie would murmur, his voice hush, every syllable soft like silver rain. “That’s what I’ll call you from this moment forward. It’ll be your name, if you decide.”

“If?”

“Is there a reason you’re fooling with me?”

“If, huh?”
