It all started during lockdown. You received a call that you had gotten the role of Florence Smith (a very British surname) in the new show 'Heartstopper'. You were already familiar with the comics - perhaps even a fan.
Florence was Imogen's shy but sweet friend that tended to sit in silence while the other characters spoke, though she did have some key roles too. Most importantly being that she was Nick's girlfriend at the start of the show until he realises he has been hiding his true self and meets the wonderful Charlie Spring.
Their relationship was supposed to be pre-existing, supposedly having dated for a year which meant you and Kit had to seem pretty comfortable and 'in love'. Even when you had just met.
The rehearsals began and all of the cast met, including you and Kit. The first time you saw him it almost felt surreal, he quite literally embodied your ideal man. Golden hair that fell effortlessly into all the right places, freckles littering his skin in a way that reminded you of constellations and most importantly and amazing personality.
You were shy at first, much like everyone, you had only done small jobs and this was completely different, an actual Netflix show with seasoned actors. It was a lot of pressure.
He never made you feel like the under dog. Like the one who didn't know what you were doing, in fact, he went out of his way to help you out. Pointing out who did what, talking to a crew member when you weren't quite sure what to say and it all warmed your heart.
It didn't take long for you two to become best friends. You were both in your final year of A-levels and it was complete and utter hell, though he made it a little more bearable. Both of you were currently working at D's in drama which wasn't quite ideal and so, you became revision buddies.
Days at each other's houses turned into nights together, and it all just felt so incredibly right. You never had a friend as good as him, someone who treat you so humanely, even if that was the bare minimum.
It all scared you to be honest, feelings evident to everyone except him. Even fans.
They would point out the small things, like how you would sit on Kit's lap whenever there were no chairs available in the back of one of Tobie's vlogs, even though Joe and Bash did the same. Or the way the two of you were often seen playfighting in the back of behind the scenes clips.
It wasn't like you hadn't kissed before, practically every scene your characters shared up to the break up contained a kiss and so it became easy to see it all as, well, real.
The hugs, the handholding and the pecks on the cheek. It all felt so real and then it was gone. And filming was over.
It didn't really effect how often you saw Kit, the cast became best friends outside of filming and so you still saw him every day, though it felt different.
The bubble you had been living in no longer existed, the two of you were real people not characters and even realer was the crush building inside of you for your 'best friend' and no matter what Joe told you, you couldn't see the boy liking you back.
Shortly after filming ended the first season got released and it was crazy. Not only did you have an influx of followers but an influx of people 'shipping' you and Kit.
It was stressful, feeling as though your secret was being revealed even if Kit saw it all as fans being fans, it was as if they could see right through you.
The two of you would laugh about it, the way they made compilations of him 'being in love' with you for ten minute straight. Or how they would tweet that you held onto his hand for a little too long at a red carpet. Deep down you both knew, it meant more.
Slowly he began to flirt, little things to gage your reaction, and when it made you blush instead of laugh and slap him in the face he realised maybe the theories weren't all that crazy.
Flirting became out right date proposals and it all felt so surreally perfect. He could have anyone and yet he wanted you.
By the time filming for season two rolled around the pair of you were official and known to the public, not exactly on your own terms but there was only so long you could walk on the street together without giving into the urge of holding his warmer hand.
Now instead of playfights and handshakes the cameras would catch the two of you napping together on set or cuddling on the sofa in a cast mates living room.
"I love you." He told you one cold night in December as you watched 'The Grinch'. It was your favourite Christmas movie. He knew that.
"I love you too." You replied, leaning up to place a kiss on his jaw line from your position lying with your head in his lap.
You knew at that moment, you belonged together.

Being in a relationship with Charlie and Nick.
Pairing: Charlie Spring x m!Reader x Nick Nelson.
Triggers: Poly relationships. Mentions of Mental Health. Mentioned of Underage drinking. Mentions of homophobic behaviour. Idk, These are short until I get used to writing :)
Send requests :).
- Keeping the relationship secret, because if it got out at school you all knew the possibility of bullies or just assholes in general bullying you.
- Plus not even nowadays, people still don't understand how this kind of relationship work and they tend to hate them.
- Nick gets you and Charlie to play rugby, even though Charlie claims to be no good at it, he mainly just hangs around with you on the pitch.
- You and Charlie quit the rugby team very quickly.
- But Nick still likes to watch you two dress up in his rugby jerseys, even if it's for some lame excuse.
"Your shirt wasn't even that dirty, Y/N."
"Yes it was. Charlie split coffee all over it."
"No, I didn't. Shut up."
-Tao and the others were slightly confused on the dynamic of your relationship, but knew there was something more than just being 'friends'.
-Lots and lots of hugging. I mean lots. Nick loves doing a threeway hug with You and Charlie and lifting both of you off the ground. Whereas, Charlie loves being sandwiched between You and Nick.
-Helping Charlie when he has a bad day mentally. He loves being able to cuddle you both, while he rants and talks out his emotions. Poor boy needs a lot of reassurance. If he doesn't feel like talking, You and Nick usually bring Nellie over or go on a walk, talking about everything and anything to distract him from his worries.
- "I'm Bi, actually." is something you and Charlie quote to Nick everyday, and it makes him giggle. It's defo an inside joke with the three of you.
-When Nick is busy at his rugby practice, Charlie sometimes reads to you. When he's not, he always trying to kiss you and make out with you.
-Nick would be jealous to see You and Charlie all over eachother after practice. He would chase you and Charlie around until both of you gave him a kiss.
-Even though Nick and Charlie are out as a couple together, they still secretly hold your hand whenever they could. You and Nick almost got caught once by Darcy.
-And Charlie always kissing you in school nearly got you caught too.
-All of you hang around at Nick's house since it's always private there. All three of you either have deep, heartful conversations, or giggle through your sentences. There is no telling. Let's not forget the steamy making out all three of you do when Nick's mum isn't home.
-Nick's room being covered in photos of You and Charlie. He loves taking photos of you two. His lock screen is You and Charlie cuddling during a nap at his house.
-The two sometimes fight to get your attention.
"Char, let me spoon Y/N."
"But I'm spooning him."
"But you said I could ten minutes ago... Char, are you pretending to be asleep?"
-The three of you always travel together. And they're so so over protective of you.
-They're so jealous too, Charlie more so than Nick (Nick is confident enough to know no one will ever be him) but since Charlie is always worried that he's not good enough, expect him to be throwing glares left, right, and centre. Pls hug Charlie.
- Charlie is more opened to PDA (private display of affection), so he's always hugging and kissing You and Nick when he's close. It makes the two boys a bit sad when you're all in public, and they can't hold your hand or anything. They want too so badly, but they don't want you to get harrassed.
-Cuddling is very.. tangled. Charlie loves being spooned, and Nick loves spooning but Charlie moves alot in his sleep. It's like once a week, one of you three is pushed off the bed.
-Also Nick is literally a human radiator, so he's usually in the middle on cold nights.
-Nick is usually the calm one, however, he loves the chaotic energy You and Charlie brings to his life.
-Tao getting suspious when he walked onto the rugby pitch to see You and Charlie holding hands on the bleachers, and the flirty waves you gave Nick.
-Eventually, You three decide to tell Tao and the others. They're all super supportive and it's adorable.
-Especially Darcy (IMO).
-They both love sharing clothes with you. It gets to the point where you're not sure who owns what piece of clothing anymore. They've a little game going on. Whose hoddies do you use the most? Nick or Charlie.
- They are both gentlemen, but theyβre competitive about it.

You should do a Trans reader (fem to male) with Poly yan Charlie and nick
Smoothing
Poly!Nick&Charlie x Trans!M!Reader.
Plot: Just something sweet and short for comfort. This is the first time that came to mind.
This sucks so I apologize.
Warnings: Transphobic people & comments, Comfort, kisses & hugs, really short.
560 Words.
It wasnβt the fist time they had seen you like this and they hated to admit but, it probably wouldnβt be the last. They had no choice but to watch you from afar in class while fiddling with your clothes and moving in the chair. They could always tell when you felt sad or uncomfortable. They had known you for a year since you transferred to their school and only welcomed you to the relationship just a few mouths ago. That didnβt stop them from knowing so much about you.
When you got to nicks house you were pulled in immediately and rushed up the stairs by the boys, nothing to explain their actions. The door was opened to his room and you were confused but also happy, βWhatβs this about?β A second after speaking you were pulled into a hug by Nick and he crushed you, charlie joined and rested his head on your shoulder.
It was nice to have them hold you after a horrible day but this was unexpected. βDid something happen.β You mumble between them. βWe just noticed how today was for you.β They pulled away, nothing but love in their eyes making you want to melt.
Looking away like you had been caught you sighed, βI was fine.β You could tell they gave you a look but you didnβt care. Nick groaned and pulled you again over to the bed and sat down only to pull you down, making you lay down and rest your head into his lap. Charlie followed and lay down beside you.
βGuys, Iβm fine.β Of course you were lying but you didnβt want to worry them or talk about it. But knowing your partners they wouldnβt take it. Charlie reached for your hand and held it in his, βI know that lie well.β He admitted and leaned on his other hand.
Nick reached his hand down and pushed the hair away from your forehead and you looked up at him. He looked soft at first then a few seconds you could see the anger rise. βDid someone say something?β His tone lowered and his face scrunched up and you almost chuckled because he looked like a angry puppy.
βNo, Nick. Today I justβ¦β you stopped and took a deep breath feeling the weight in your chest get heavier. βHated my body.β It was like some relief left your chest but then added more.
βOh, hunnyβ Charlie sat up and had a sad pout. Nick continue to play with your hair and give you a smile. βYou look as handsome as always.β He leaned down and kisses your forehead. βItβs hard being in a body you donβt want but we are here to help.β
βWe love you all the same.β You chuckled and smile when charlie started to kiss all around your face and looked like a chicken pecking at food. You tried to playfully push him away but Nick took your hands and held you still, you yelled at him for being a trader but he just laughed and joined in on smothering you with kisses.

Sickness - Kit Connor x gn!reader
Sickness
Kit Connor x gnreader
Warnings: Vomiting, use of F word, pet names, mention of having long hair
Other: Gender Neutral
I donβt own these photos!
A/n: Hi! So uh, this is my first imagine so if itβs terrible please tell me. If Kit Connor ever expresses that he isnβt comfortable with fanfictions then I will take this down immediately. Feedback is always appreciated, and requests are open. Thanks guys! Love you all xx β€οΈ Also, credits to Bellamysdadhumor on Wattpad for writing an imagine called βSickβ in her βKit Connor Imaginesβ book. I kind of based this off that.
My eyes jolt open. I look over at my clock and see that itβs 1:17am. My stomach hurts. I feel terrible. I roll over to try calm the feeling but nothing happens. The feeling rises to my throat. Fuck it, Iβm going to the bathroom. I rush to the bathroom and open the door, turning the light on. I lift up the seat to the toilet and start to gag. I hate the feeling of vomiting itβs gross and painful. Tears roll down my cheeks as I start to throw up in the toilet.
βDarling?β I groan to myself, remembering I didnβt lock the door and my boyfriend, Kit, is going to see me like this. I gag and throw up. Again. I hear the door open βOh baby-β Kit rushes of to me, carefully lifting my hair back, out of my face. I start to cry more, I feel so guilty for waking him up this early and making him see me like this.
βSweetheart, itβs ok. Iβm here, itβs ok. Youβre just a bit sick. The feeling will pass.β He starts to rub circles into my back with his hand. The sensation makes me feel better immediately. After a while of not throwing up, Kit stands and puts toothpaste on my electric toothbrush for me, helping me up and giving it to me. I brush and brush, then when the timer goes of, I spit into the sink.
βAre you feeling better?β Kit asks me. βIβm so, so, sorryβ I say looking down and fiddling with my hands. βBaby, why? You did nothing wrong!β βI woke you up thou-β βNo. Itβs not your fault. Everyone getβs sick sometimes and I would be devastated if I couldnβt help!β I look down and whisper βSorryβ
Kit chuckles and picks me up bridal style, walking me into the bedroom and setting me down on the bed βDonβt say that love.β he says and kisses me on the forehead frowning at how hot it is. βNow, Iβll be back in a minuteβ βKit!β I say dragging out the i. βYou donβt need to baby me! And anyway Iβm not sick!β I try to argue βLove you are! Your forehead is burning! Now like I said, Iβll be back in a minute.β He says putting the fan on before leaving the room.
I lean my head back on the pillows and sigh. How am I sick? I was fine 4 hours ago! And anyway, if Iβm sick, then how is Kit not sick. Weβve been hanging out and chilling all day! Suddenly I hear the door open and see some strawberry blonde hair peeking up behind a stack of food and books and dvdβs in his arms. βOh my god Kit! I donβt need all of this!β βYou deserve the world.β he replies and sits everything on the bedside table. I giggle and say βThank you.β quietly.
He slips into the bed next to me and says, βNow, I donβt think you will be able to sleep for a while so we are gonna watch a movie and eat a bunch of snacksβ I roll my eyes and say, βOk your majestyβ he opens is mouth and dramatically gasps. I brush that off and pick up the remote to the tv, passing it to Kit. βI donβt really care what we watch. You can pick.β he just looks at me and says βYou sure?β βYeh.β I reply. βOk thenβ
He ends up putting on βMean Girlsβ because he knows I love it. I look at him and smile. He says, βYou still love this movie donβt you?β My mouth opens wide and I say βDuh! Itβs my favourite! Apart from Heartstopper because your in it but that doesnβt really count as a movie does it?β He chuckles and goes a little red.
We start watching and I end up falling asleep with my arms wrapped around him and my head on his shoulder. He notices and shuffles so I am laying on top of him with my head on his chest and my arms still around his torso. He wraps his arms around my waist and whispers, βGoodnight y/n, I love you.β

A/n pt.2: Please don't come for me for my summary, I fucking hate writing those xoxo
*gif is not mine!!
Summary: The reader goes to a party without her twin brother, Nick. Through different circonstances, she ends up dancing with someone who might have not rightfully earned her trust. The situation quickly escalates to horrible heights. She will have no other choice, but to learn how to defend herself, and how to lean on the people who matters for her.
Your heart is racing, your eyes are burning, and silent tears stream down your face. You rest on the threshold of the door you've just exited from. You can't grasp and even begin to process what just happened. You look up, hearing your name being called from afar. It feels like you're in a different dimension. Everywhere you look, reality seems distorted by some filter. Finally, you focus on your mother's face. She's sitting in her little car, window down, waving at you. Automatically, your body starts walking toward the car, but mentally you are elsewhere. In a dark corridor up in this horrible mansion. Trapped.
_
Your heart beats in a thumping rhythm as you cross the threshold of the mansion. Music is blasting out at an alarmingly loud volume with the place already packed.Β
You try to calm your breathing and to remember you were invited and belong here as much as anybody else. The few people you cross paths with wave at you. You smile back, trying to look confident and relaxed. The image of collected cool.Β
Even though there's actually a weight dropping in your stomach.Β
You are, after all, Nick Nelson's twin sister. He has a certain 'popular kid' reputation that was mostly passed on to you by association. You are both known for being nice and popular kids. Although you definitely are more lowkey than your 'rugby king' brother. So, even if you aren't sure these people are your crowd, you couldn't refuse when you had been invited to some guy's end-of-exams party.Β
It wasn't rare for you to be invited to events like this. Although, it was one of the few times your brother didn't join you. Ever since he started dating Charlie and got closer with the Paris gang, you could see less and less of him at these kinds of gatherings. That's why tonight, instead of being here with you, drinking lukewarm punch and listening to questionable music as some alcoholized teens were being unleashed in a mansion worth ten times your house, he was hanging out at home with his friends. You would much rather be with them, but they were Nick's friends, and even though they were nice to you, you always felt like the annoying sister trying to tag along in her brother's friend group.
That's why even when 95% of you wanted to turn back around and escape that terrible party, you took a deep breath in and let yourself be swallowed by the crowd of people.
10:15pm. You had been here for an hour, and it didΒ notΒ get better. The cup of punch in your hands was sticky and smelled incredibly weird. No doubt because someone had dumped in a bunch of mixed liquors. Your friends were all hanging around. Either dancing or flirting with some questionable-behaving young men. You couldn't help but look at your phone about a thousand times in the last twenty minutes. You thought about calling your mother. You knew she'd come to fetch you, but then what? You'd go back home? Seeing Nick and all of his friends having a jolly old time while you had failed to have a good night on your own? No, thank you.
You loved Nick to death, but sometimes, seeing how liked he was proved to be incredibly difficult for you. You always felt like an impostor. He dared to be himself, and people liked him anyway. You weren't so sure you'd be met with the same welcome if you dared step away from the facade you had carefully built all these years.Β
Maybe that's why you accepted to dance with someone you didn't even know. You did see each other around a few times but never actually spoke. He seemed nice enough, so when he reached out a hand and offered you to dance, you drank a sip of your horrible drink and joined him on the crowded dancefloor without question.
He was entertaining and invented goofy dance moves to make you laugh, but all the while, something felt off. You felt like you were being watched. Sometimes, you'd see his gaze over you as if he was looking at someone else. Each time you'd try to look in that direction to see who he might be looking at, he'd find some clever way to focus your attention elsewhere. After a few songs, you were both out of breath, sweaty, and hoping for a break. You were about to invent a creative excuse to get away when he offered to get some water. You hesitated, trying to look around for a friend, but none were in sight.Β
"Come on, we'll get some water and air if you want to. I know a spot."Β His expression was kind and seemed genuine. That's why, again, you followed him even though some small part of you screamed that you shouldn't.
The feeling in your gut turned queasy as he led you through dark corridors. The once kind smile that graced his features seemed to turn smug as you headed deeper into the house. You finally reached a little room far away from the agitated crowd. He opened the door, inviting you inside. "Are you coming?"
Your feet were rooted to the ground, the feeling in your stomach spreading to your entire body. This felt wrong.Β
"Uhm, no. I think my mom will be here soon. I should go." You took a step backward, trying to put some distance between the two of you. Trying to calm the instinct that screamed at you to run.
"Oh, come on. Don't you want a glass of water?"Β
You only stared at him, not daring to respond, too scared to fall into this trap he layed in front of you. You knew water would not be involved if you entered that room, and he seemed to get that too, "We had fun, didn't we?" the change in his tone made shivers creep up your arms. Gone was his facade of the innocent boy. He now looked like a snake trying to lure in his prey.
"Yeah, but now it's time for me to go. Thanks."Β
He stepped towards you, making you fully back into the wall. "Please stay. It's my party, you know. The least you could do is stay a little longer with me."
You looked around, noticing his arms had crept on the wall on either side of you.Β
"Please get your arms off," you demanded. You tried to make your voice sound assured but failed to hide the quiver in it. He noticed it, and the glim of rotten confidence in his eyes shone brighter. He had you exactly where he wanted you.
He trailed one finger up your arm, your stomach tying in knots at the touch. "You know, I've seen you around a lot. You're Nick Nelson's sister. People talk about you. They say you're stuck up. You've never had a boyfriend or anything, am I right? I like girls like that, so nice, soΒ pure."
You almost threw up on him, the allusions making you feel nauseous. You couldn't, and wouldn't, hide the disgust filling your eyes. You looked around, hoping to see someone turn up. Praying for someone to come, but it seemed you were out of luck as the corridor stayed empty.
His hand went up in your hair, and you held your breath. Terror like you had never felt before paralyzed your body. "The guys bet you wouldn't get with me, but I think we have potential together. Am I right? We could head in that little room together and see what happens."Β
You felt the hand on your waist slowly slide down your hip, tugging you closer.Β
"Get off of me!" you exploded as you pushed him back as hard as you could. He hit the door behind him quite hard, the doorknob digging in his back. You made a headstart to get away, but before you could get further, his hand grabbed your wrist, tightening his grip until he had you wincing in pain.
He gritted his teeth, ambers of rage dancing in his eyes. "Oh, come on, don't be like this. Stay here with me, and we'll have fun." He pulled you backward by the collar of your shirt, and you heard the fabric rip with a distinct sound. He pressed you tight on his chest. You could feel every part of him pushing hard against your back. He gripped your hips while his other hand fumbled with your chest. His foul mouth on your neck.Β
Refusing to give up, you gathered all the self-defense knowledge you had and stepped on his foot as hard as you could, hitting him with your elbow in the stomach at the same time. You put all your strength in the blow as if you were trying to pierce him through. You knew you cut the air from his body with the sound he made. His arms loosened up for a second, and this time, when you started running in the opposite direction, nothing stopped you.Β
Running as fast as you could, you looked back for a second. Unable to resist the reflex to confirm you weren't being followed. Whipping your head to the front, you couldn't dodge when someone suddenly exited a door on the side. You crushed into them with blunt strength, almost sending you two toppling down.Β
"Oi! Watch where you're going- Oh, Y/n. Are you okay?"Β
The voice sounded incredibly familiar, and your gaze focused for a second. Sai, one of Nick's good mates, was staring at you, worry digging down the corners of his mouth.Β
"Uhm, I- I'm sorry. I have to go." You couldn't stop and risk getting caught again, so you started running, leaving Sai looking at your disappearing form.
YouΒ fled outside, already texting your mother. You hid until you saw the familiar form of the family car. Sprinting towards it, you climbed in as fast as you could.Β
"Well, someone's in a hurry to come home." chuckled your mother as she headed towards the exit. "The party wasn't fun?"
Forehead resting on the cold window, you couldn't say a word. If you were honest, you could barely register what your mother said. All you could feel was his hands on you. His lips on your neck. The phantom sensations gave you the horrible feeling that he was still grabbing you. That you were still trapped up there.Β
Your mother's touch on your arm brought you back to reality. "Are you okay, darling?" Even the soft touch on your arm was enough to make you shudder. "Y/n, did something happen?"
Your gaze connected with hers for a split second, but you willed the fear in your eyes to disappear. To go back to a dissociated gaze. Allowing nothing to show.
"I don't want to talk about it now," you mumbled while covering the tear in your shirt with your hoodie. You needed to comprehend what had happened before you could say something. Even if you wanted to, the words were stuck in your throat.
Your mother stayed silent for the rest of the ride, although you could feel her gaze on you a few times. You felt like she'd say something until she faced the road again without adding a word.Β
When you finally pulled into the driveway, you made for the door. You wanted nothing else but to disappear into your room. Your escape was halted when your mom grabbed your wrist, stopping you in your tracks. You winced at the pain it inflicted and the reminder it brought. The look in your eyes was one of undiluted terror.
Her face turned white as a ghost's. "Y/n, I will give you your space for now, but I want you to know and understand that we will discuss this."
Your house was filled with music and happy voices. You could hear through cotton-filled ears someone call your name but didn't stop. When you slipped into your room, you stood in the dark and looked at your wrist. The red mark on it was already turning to a soft purple. A whimper escaped your mouth as you sunk to the floor.
You cried and cried and cried. The adrenaline had left your body, and the walls you had built around you to survive had been torn down. With a hand on your mouth, you tried to maintain your sobs to a minimum volume.Β
What the actual fuckΒ was all you could manage to think.Β
Catching a glance of yourself in the mirror hanging on your wall, a wave of disgust ravaged you. In the darkness, like glow-in-the-dark marks, you could see the print of his hands on you, the sloppy marks he left on your neck. You felt disgusting. You needed to wash this off now.Β
You headed for the bathroom, trying not to attract anyone's attention. You were about to grab the doorknob when the door opened on a surprised Tara.
"Oh my god, Y/n, you scared me! I didn't know you were here," she exclaimed with her usual cheerfulness.Β
You stayed silent, feeling like you had been caught red-handed. Shame crept on your cheeks.
In a second, she analyzed the state you were in. The tear on the collar of your shirt. Your puffy eyes, your red cheeks. "What happened to you? What happened to your shirt?Β Are you okay?"Β
Her sweet concern was all it took for you to tumble into tears again. She helped you back to your room, supporting and hugging you tight. You babbled incoherently about what had happened. You just needed these horrible words to be out of your system. You needed this unbearable reality out of your head, needed the constant litany of words to stop.Β
Tara listened to your whole story and managed to understand through your sobs. As you finished, out of breath, she convinced you to let her get Nick. You dreaded it at first, so scared to see his reaction, but the once-in-a-while seriousness in Tara's tone managed to persuade you.
You heard her going down the stairs and waited in silence. You held your breath. The house was utterly silent as if it was also holding its breath. Then, it erupted, and all you could hear was someone climbing up the stairs at an alarming pace. Your door opened on a whim, almost digging a hole in your wall with how strongly it went flying back.
Your twin brother was standing on your doorstep, his chest going up and down quickly. He didn't say anything. He just scanned you from head to toe before reaching out his arms. Engulfing you in a tight embrace, he rocked you back and forth.
"Tell me," was all he said, his tone hoarse and hard.
"I was anxious and bored, and this guy asked me to dance. We did, and then he offered to get some water and air. I followed him but felt this grip in my gut. Felt like something was off. He led me to a dark room. I refused to go in and said I had to go, but then he backed me into this wall. Saying stuff about what other people thought about me and about some bet he'd made with his friends. I- I tried escaping Nick, I really did, I promise. I kept my distance, I told him to go away, but he wouldn't. I pushed him and tried to make a run for it, but he grabbed my wrist and started touching me. I managed to defend myself and get away. I ran into someone. I think it was Sai. I stopped for a second but couldn't tell him anything, so I ran again and hid until Mum came to pick me up."
The silence in your room was deafening. His whole being was at a standstill. Nick wasn't known to be a violent person. Quite the opposite, but you felt like that was about to change.
"Show me where he hurt you."Β
You extended your wrist, the mark gone even darker than before.Β
"Anywhere else?" he reluctantly asked.
You couldn't, and wouldn't, show him where precisely but managed to wave your hand towards your neck and upper body. Shame once again invaded your cells. His eyes filled with despair and so muchΒ rage. He hugged you tight again. "I'm going to kill him."
You whipped your head up. The look in your brother's eyes was one you had never seen before. Immediately, guilt flooded your thoughts.
"Nick, you can't get involved in this. I'm so sorry I got into all this trouble. I don't want it to affect you at school. I shouldn't have followed him. This is my fault."
He looked at you incredulously. As if you had just said the dumbest thing he had ever heard.Β
"Y/n, you didn't get in trouble. Someone assaulted you. You are not at fault here. Do you understand? Because I really need you to." He tightened his grip on you, his cheek on the crown of your head. "I don't need you to pull some Charlie number on me."
"A Charlie number, uh?" you heard a familiar voice speak up.Β
Charlie's head peeked from your door. The face of comfort and reassurance. "Can I come in?" You nodded as he made his way to the bed. "Although I'm not sure what exactly he's referring to, I'm pretty sure he's right. You shouldn't feel guilty for something someone did to you, okay? Especially for something like this."
You saw the hint of pain flashing in his eyes and remembered he had experienced something similar.Β
He reached a hand you immediately grabbed. You had loved Charlie since that first day he came to your house to meet Nellie. There was something about him that always made you feel safe and comfortable. His presence here meant a lot to you. "You okay?"Β
You still weren't precisely grabbing the heaviness of what had happened. But the support you were shown helped you manage the whirlwind of emotions you were feeling. You nodded feebly.
"What do you want to do?" finally asked Nick. "Can we do anything for you right now?"
You confessed you did not want to be alone tonight. You dreaded being left with your thoughts, scared they would swallow you whole. "I just want to feel safe," you whispered.
The words were like a dagger to Nick and Charlie's hearts. They both felt so guilty about not being there to protect you. What happened tonight brought them back to the beginning of their relationship. When Charlie had been through the same thing you just did. It awakened so many unpleasant and painful memories in their hearts.
"Of course. We can stay with you all night," said Nick with a kind smile, and you knew he meant it.
He offered to watch a movie, knowing that was your thing when you needed comfort. He felt that nothing he could do would help you heal from the experience you just had, but he'd do anything in his power to make you feel better. Your eyes light up at the suggestion, and he couldn't help a loving smile from lighting up his face.Β
"The gang is still down there. If you want, I can ask them to leave?" suggested Charlie. "Even I can go home if you would rather be alone with your family. That'd be totally understandable."
If you were being honest, you would love for them to stay. The more, the merrier, and Nick's friends were such a cheerful and caring group. You knew they would be supportive. You hesitated, on the edge of saying yes.Β
Nick felt your hesitation and put a hand atop Charlie and yours. "We can ask everyone to leave if you want to, no problem. But if you feel comfortable and want them here, I know they'd love to."Β
You finally admitted you'd love for them to stay. Charlie went downstairs to fill them in. Leaving you in the room, still wrapped in your brother's arms. Both of you weren't ready to move just yet.
"If you want them to leave or need anything at any moment, I want you to come straight to me. Is that clear?" You nodded. "And while they set everything up, I have to tell Mum. She's worried sick, and rightfully so."Β
You nodded once again, knowing she deserved to know. Still, you couldn't help your stomach from twisting in knots at the thought of this thing spreading out.Β
Always so observant, Nick noticed how scared you looked. "Please, trust me, let me handle this. You don't have to worry about a thing. Just let me deal with it. You can lean on me." You mumbled an 'okay' as he kissed the top of your hair.Β
An invisible promise to protect you forever.
The gang all split up to help make you feel better. Elle, Tara, and Darcy helped you clean up. You didn't want to be alone. So when you looked anxious to step in the bathroom, they all suggested they'd sit down in there, waiting for you. They were incredibly caring and supportive. Acting like this wasn't out of the blue and odd. You knew Nick and Charlie had filled them in, but none dared to say a thing. Their respect for your privacy and light chatting were both things you were incredibly grateful for. In the meantime, Tao and Isaac prepared the living room for the movie. They went all out and built a fort of pillows and blankets with snacks, ready to welcome you when you were done.
As for Nick and Charlie, they were dealing with the situation. They told everything to your mum and contacted Sai to find out what he'd seen. He immediately admitted seeing you running away from a corridor, shirt torn up, with tears running down your face. He found the guy in question, still catching his breath, and pieced two and two together. He even got him to admit the whole thing. He questioned some guys and even confirmed the horrible rumor of the bet. It had taken everything, and encouragement from Charlie, for Nick to stay put and not rush back there to beat his ass. Even your 'anti-violence' mother kept her mouth shut while Nick uttered threats, each worse than the other. The next day would already be horrible enough for the guy without Nick having to get in trouble had reassured his boyfriend.
Forty-five minutes later, you were all covered in blankets, resting on pillows, cuddled up together. Nick and Charlie were sitting on either side of you. Your brother's arm reached around you and his boyfriend.Β
The rest of the gang was scattered around the floor and the couch, but you were still all touching. Forming an unbreakable chain of support and love.Β
You looked around and felt so grateful as you looked at the people present. Nick squeezed your hand with a kind smile, a quick check-up to confirm you were still okay. You cleared your throat, gathering everyone's attention. The movie softly played in the background while you started, "I wanted to thank you for this. You have all been incredible. Thank you for helping me, and I hope you can forgive me for interrupting your end-of-exams party."Β
"Hush with that. As if we'd ever be mad for something like this." intervened Elle. She put a comforting hand on your shin, her features so open and caring. You couldn't help but give her an answering smile.
"Did you really think we'd resent you for what happened tonight?" inquired Charlie. Once again, a light of understanding sparkled in his blue eyes.
"No, but it's just... This was your thing. Your party, and once again, I'm intruding in and forcing you guys to hang out with me."
"Forcing us?!" cut Tara. "Y/n, I don't think anyone here would feel forced to hang out with you. We like hanging out with you!"
Your eyes shone with surprise and something like relief. They all looked at each other incredulously. Not quite believing that you didn't know how much they liked you. "What?! Did you think we only thought of you as Nick's little sister?"
You turned your head towards a disbelieving Tao. Your shy silence was an answer in itself.
"You have great taste in movies. Plus, you have a lot of knowledge about the cinematic universe. I like hanging out with you because you're the only one in this group with decent expertise of the culture." He added enthusiastically. Pronouncing that last word with his usual mediocre impression of a Scottish accent, he extorted a laugh from your chest.
"And you like to dance, and for some reason, you get Darcy's poor sense of humor," added Tara with a sarcastic roll of her eyes. To which her girlfriend lightly tapped her leg in protest.
"And you're into art, and you're actually the only one in this group who can give me constructive criticism about my work." Your gaze dropped back to Elle, giving an accusatory look at the rest of the group.
"And you're the only one willing to have a book club with me. Don't think I can talk and have actual discussions with this lot about all the books I read," finished Isaac with a shy smile. He was the first in the gang, after Charlie, with whom you felt really close. You squeezed his hand as a silent thanks.
"We're trying to tell you how you mean so much more to us. You're Y/n Nelson. We like hanging out with you because you're a great person with great interests. Not because we have to. Not because you're Nick's sister." explained Charlie. He knew how it felt when you thought people didn't honestly like you. Or when you thought they'd be better off without you. He saw so much of himself inside of you. It made his heart tighten with sadness and love.
You stared at them all, a few tears burning in the corners of your eyes. You coughed, trying to hide the emotion flaring up in you.
"You are part of this group if you want to Y/n." Charlie nudged you with his shoulder as if he had read your thoughts. You lifted hopeful eyes towards him. You felt as if your heart might burst with joy.
"I-"
"I'm not giving you any choice." cut Darcy out of the blue."You are part of the gang. Nothing you can do about it." she declared. As always, her unexpected comment had everyone laughing. You looked at her triumphant face, euphoria spreading in your chest.
You looked at your brother, who was already beaming at you, pride and joy mixed in that sweet expression. The tears in your eyes welled up and, against the better of you, softly dropped on your cheeks.Β
"Are these tears of joy...?" asked Isaac, speaking for the whole group. You had been through a lot tonight, and they had hoped their intervention would have made you happy. But they questioned if it had been too much, too soon.
You let out a soft chuckle. "Yes."
In a team effort, the whole gang jumped on you. Engulfing your body in an embrace of warmth, love, and laughter, a lot of laughter.Β
"I'm so sorry for being such a..."Β
You stopped mid-sentence when you felt a pinch on your arm, only to hear Nick whisper, "From now on, you are also banned from saying the 's' word. So shut it and enjoy." The whole group, including yourself, erupted in laughter.Β
There would be a lot of hardships coming in the next few days, but knowing you had them all made you feel like maybe, just maybe, you'd be able to weather it.

(hc) being with nick + charlie . . .
pairing(s) : poly!nick and charlie x male!reader
synopsis : headcanons while dating nick and charlie !
warning(s) : polyamorous relationship , mentions of hickeys , mentions of making out . comment any i missed please !
β’ they both consider themselves β the luckiest men on earth β for being able to date you .
β’ they love you to DEATH , and would want you to feel 100% comfortable anywhere you were .
β’ charlie would be the one who asked you out , but nick would be the one who first kissed you .
β’ the moment you three got together , nick and charlie would constantly take pictures of you .
β’ yes , they have a whole photo album dedicated just to you .
β’ you three would have matching lock screens or just a group photo of you three ( similar to those photobooth images . )
β’ youll easily be able to catch both of them staring at you in awe just because they realized they pulled YOU !
[y/n] β β why are you both looking at me like that ? β
[nick + charlie with eyes of adoration] β β like what ? β
β’ before coming out to ANYONE about your relationship , they both would take sneaky kisses or affectionate love bites whenever they could .
β’ although they both can get away with minor PDA fairly easier and pass it off as β best friends β and such , although the more handsy they get the more suspicious they look .
β’ out of everyone in the group , darcy would be the most likely to find out about you three , mainly through her gay intuition .
β’ once you three do eventually come out as a couple , everyone is extremely supportive ( darcy is constantly shouting that she knew it ) , even if other people outside the friend group dont understand it .
β’ even if ben hope and his homophobic strag patrol ends up coming up to you or talking about you , all three of you try your best to make sure it doesnt get to any of you .
β’ nick would constantly hold your hand or run his thumb against your arm while charlie would whisper little jokes about harry or ben .
β’ if it helps , they would lend you their sweaters or jackets to make it feel like they were with you everytime you wore their clothing .
β’ speaking of clothing , you three borrow clothes from each other so often that when you go shopping for new garments , youre basically subconsciously shopping for the other two .
β’ even if you dont play rugby , nick and charlie would still text you to come into the locker room just for kisses or affection .
β’ you almost get caught a worryingly amount of times on a daily basis while making out with them two ( although you and charlie both blame nick , but he makes it up to you by kissing you . )
β’ hugs . hugs hugs hugs . must i say more ?
β’ nick could very easily lift you + charlie up in a single hug ( then again charlie is quite easy to pick up regardless ) .
β’ nick would definitely hug you both whenever he gets the chance , whether that be in the hallways or in between his rugby scrims .
β’ he likes to use this as a way to lovingly mess with you and charlie , since he'll run at both of you for hugs and kisses after his rugby matches .
[y/n + charlie] β β NICKKKKK , YOU'RE ALL SWEATY ! β
[nick] β β then stop gripping onto me so tightly-! β[
y/n + charlie] β β nope . β
β’ studying after school with these two are either 100% productive and you three actually get your work done . . .
β’ . . . or end up with your textbooks shoved to the side and you between nick and charlie in a very heavy makeout session .
β’ because charlie constantly takes all of nickβs sweaters , nick ends up willingly acting as your personal ATM .
β’ you need to buy supplies ? hes pulling out his wallet. you mention something you wanted ? next thing you know hes purchased it WITH overnight shipping . you say youre hungry ? hes already reciting his credit card numbers .
β’ charlie would make a playlist of songs that made him think of you !!
β’ he would also send you multiple songs or tiktoks that remind him of you , easily forwarding 71 videos from his fyp to you .
β’ he loves to teach both you and nick the drums , although youre more adamant about doing it than nick .
β’ youll usually sit on his lap or have him pressed against your back while his hands guide yours to play some rhythm on the drums .
β’ when you and nick come over to charlie's , tori often times drops tidbits of information on how charlie constantly talks about you .
β’ she often describes that he is , β gooning about you two 24/7 β , much to charlie's denial .
β’ ideal dates with these two dont have to be a lot , it could literally just be facetiming .
β’ with that being said , the arcade is a hotspot for your dates . you three are easily familiar faces with the arcade staff , earning the nickname β triple threat β .
β’ the mall and the beach are your other favorite spots , since they contain a lot of your favorite memories with the two dorks .
β’ although you dont consider it a date , taking nellie for a walk with charlie and nick are another highly popular event you three do .
β’ although nick is certain you like nellie more than him ( he is , apparently , NOT jealous . )
β’ speaking of jealously , when these two get jealous . . . its a riot .
β’ it doesnt even have to be that big of a deal , it could be an underclassmen asking you to meet them for lunch and they would be throwing up a shit storm .
β’ nick gets WILDLY possessive of you , and will intimidate others off with his signature arm cross paired with a glare .
β’ charlie on the other hand will get extra handsy , holding your hand or clinging onto your arm . he'll even play with your hair occasionally if it gets the point across .
β’ even afterwards when you three are alone ( like say , nick's house or in the locker room ) , theyll still be all over you , kissing you and hugging your ribs to death .
[nick murmuring kisses into your neck] β β your ours , got it ? β
[y/n] β β all i told him was i would get the assignment do-, β
[charlie against your back] β β no talking to other guys ! theyre gonna fall in love with youuu . . . β
[y/n] β β fine . . . you guys are more than enough anyway . β
β’ if that certain person who makes them jealous still hasnt gotten the hint . . . charlie and nick take more drastic measures .
β’ like say . . . leaving hickeys barely visible on your collarbone or shoulder area or posting you three on his instagram story .
β’ regardless , youre happy that you get to be theirs , and theyre happy they get to be yours .

darcy, imogen and sahar are very briefly mentioned!
The sweet sound of the school bell rings throughout and the school and every single student sighs in relief of the noise. You glance up at the clock on the wall before looking around the classroom where students are packing up their bags while talking noisily to one another.
You allow yourself to recline in your chair, left arm reaching back to where your backpack dangles off the seat and slide your hands into the side pocket, grabbing your phone.
Nicky Ricky Dicky: Iβm alive!
Char: you live! i live too :) wanna walk together today or are you both busy? (gonna pick you up bestie)

Y/N: omg⦠such a drama king like okay
You write and yet, youβre quick to jump from your chair and snatch your bag before sliding it on your shoulder. You push in your chair and skip out into the hallways where you see Elle. βHeya, Elle!β
She smiles warmly and waves goodbye to her friends before stepping in sync with you. βHey there, Miss, didnβt catch your name.β You bump her shoulder and she bumps you back. βWhatβre you up to?β
βCharlieβs gonna come pick me up, hopefully via bikeβ¦ mines broke the other day.β You sigh and she gives you a look of pity while trying to bite back a grin. Then she perks up.
βNot Nick?β
You shake your head, rubbing a hand against your temple. βMm-mm, you ever just get a feeling something is off?β
Elle nods, turning her face away from you and her hands grip onto the handle of her bag that bounces against her legs. βYeah, just putting it out thereβ¦ graduation may be on his mind, I know its on mine and itβs been kicking my ass to be honest,β You wrap an arm around her in comfort and she hums in appreciation. βJust all that weird stuff, weird thoughts and anxietyβ¦β Then she pauses, raising a hand and flicking her wrist. βOkay- not weird, but you know.β
That makes you snort, βYeah, I getβchaβ¦ maybe, but weβve always been open about that kind of stuff, I just donβt understand why itβd be a issueβ¦ I mean, weβve talked about it many times before so itβs kind of odd, I guess?β You and Elle share a look of confusion before shrugging.
βMaybe itβs been having more of an impact yβknow? You can speak easily about something when youβre not there yet butβ¦ graduation is coming up and everyone is worried about the future. You know how things donβt hit you till itβs happening literally next week or something? Maybe its hitting harder.β
Your heart clenches in pain at those words. Sheβs not wrong, there is a high chance itβs staring to affect him moreβ¦ hitting harder than youβd know. You nibble on your bottom lip in concern and furrow your eyebrows,
βWell. If heβs being an idiot and isnβt gonna come to us about it then Iβll beat him up.β You place your hands on your hips, lightly joking to disperse the tense air between the two of you. Of course he isnβt being an idiot but you refuse to let him stress on his own. Elle chokes out a laugh in surprise.
βOh god, he better run, sheβs scary when sheβs angry.β One of her hands let go of her bag and she hold her stomach while laughing a bit more. βWouldnβt that be a sight?β
You scoff, βLike we havenβt argued before.β
βYou argue about literal video games.β
βStop.β You laugh and push at her shoulder. βOh, and Elle, you know Iβm your friend and if you ever need an ear to lend about college talk or need help to get your mind off of it to just relax, you got me.β She stares at you for a few beats before cracking into a grin.
βThank you, Y/N. You know you got me too.β
Outside the school building youβre quick to spot two familiar figures by the gate. βYes, heβs here!β Your arms raise in celebration then instantly flop down, βThereβs no bikeβ¦!β
Elle calls out which makes the two boys stiff in seconds.
βGet your butts over here, Mr. Xu and Mr. Spring!β They awkwardly crane their necks to your direction and simultaneously sigh in relief β probably thinking you were teachers.
βYou nearly gave me a heart attack!β Tao exclaims as you and Elle once youβre right infront of the two, gesturing to his heart. Elle is quick to place a hand over his chest β Taoβs cheeks lowkey reddening but you decide not to point it out for his sake β and her eyes widen a bit.
βTao, your chest is gonna shoot out your chest.β
βSee?β
βThat is the goal, sire.β You finger gun at him and he smacks your hand away lightly with an exasperated look. It makes you giggle. βElle is just feeling a little silly today.β
βItβs my agenda.β She grins before engulfing Charlie into a hug and he squeaks in surprise before squeezing her back. βHello, Charlie!β
βAre you sure your heart isnβt pounding because youβve gotten your daily dose of Elle?β You whisper while stepping in line next to Tao, facing your head to your other friends but you can see him tense at the corner of your eye.
He pinches his nose bridge, mumbling and you catch some of the words, suspiciously sounding like him saying heβs gonna fight you. His cheeks bloom a rosy rose so you take the win either way and smugly smirk at him.
βHi, Elle!β His muffled laugh catches your attention, making you and Tao smile at the interaction before you wrap an arm around the latter, making him eyeroll, of course he does, but he wraps an arm around your shoulder and gives you a light squeeze in response.
βWe best be off on our merry way,β You speak up, checking the time as the two friends let go of eachother. βI wanna stop by that new shop that opened a few weeks agoβ¦ Is that fine, Char?β
He gives you a thumbs up and Elle speaks, βLet me know how their desserts taste, Iβve been wondering but honestly they donβt look that good soβ¦β She stares at you with a grimace before shrugging.
βNoted~β You say in a singsong voice before wrapping your arms around Charlie. βIβll call you later, enjoy your afternoon date.β You and Charlie give the couple teasing grins and they take the bait, looking away in shyness but Tao takes the initiative and connects their hands together. It makes you melt.
βShut up.β He groans, snapping but tone very much unthreatening adding on the fact heβs trying to cover his flustered face with his free hand.
βYes, yes grumpy old man, weβll see you later.β You and Charlie waist no time to start down the road with waves.
βBye!β He shouts.
βIβm not a grumpy old man!β Tao stomps his foot, comedically. Right. How could you make that mistake?
βBye, Y/N and Charlie!β Elle laughs with a wave and tugs her totally-not-grumpy boyfriend off in the other direction. You watch their hands tighten around eachother, squinting in amusement when Taoβs scowl instantly softens into a lovestruck gaze.
βAhhh, young love.β
βYouβre starting to sound like the old one here.β Charlie snickers, hands coming up to hold onto your forearms that are still bounded around him.
βYou wound me, Char.β You squeeze him and he huffs. βI literally think the same when you and Nick are interacting, itβs so,β You make weird noises, fingers wiggling. βYβknow? Very sweet. Very cute, I even have some photos of you latching onto eachother while sleeping. Wanna see-?β
His brain feels like itβs shutting down, lightly smacking your arm when you lift it as to grab your phone. βStop it.β You could practically see those animated stars swirling around his head and laugh.
You relent and unwrap your arms with a cheeky smile. He glances at you before hiding his face in his hands. βUghh, whatever. You act like you donβt jump Nick the minute you see him.β Yeah, thatβs crazy. You feel your own cheeks flaring up.
βYou must be blind.β
βNo, no, no. Donβt do that.β
βDo what?β
βLie!β He exclaims in a joking tone, uncovering his face and poking you in accusation. You lean away, losing your balance and forcing yourself to lean on your tippy toe. Your other foot comes down onto pavement with a stomp and you twirl like youβre dancing. Charlie definitely notices this misstep, doesnβt say anything but you see his shoulders shaking in silence. Heβs laughing.
βI never lie?β You pick off the conversation.
βWas that a question?β He tilts his head back at you.
βNo?β
He stares at you, eyebrow twitching and you puff out your cheeks like a frog, looking anywhere but in his direction. βYouβre awfully cheeky today.β
βHow am I being cheeky?β He gives you a look like youβre being ridiculous.
βCharlie Spring is a little cheeky today, my oh my, what have I done to deserve this.β Then you raise your voice in a slight yell, βAhhh! Who is this?! This isnβt my Charlieeeeβ¦!β Your arms reach for the sky.
βYouβre an idiot.β He takes the chance and poke you again which makes you yelp. You narrow your eyes. He runs off, you chase.
That was last week. You havenβt seen your boyfriend in a couple of days and itβs concerning. He responds hours late to your messages, doesnβt even respond in your group chat with Charlie, his calls barely last ten minutes and you literally havenβt seen this man in person. Charlie tells you he still shows up at school but his eye-bags are pretty bad.
βIs he avoiding me? Iβm confused.β You frown, balled up on Charlieβs bed and feeling very mixed. A little annoyed, a little sad, and alot of worried. Charlie sets down two mugs on his bedside table and sits next to you on the bed. His rests a hand atop of your head and lightly taps it.
βNoβ¦ I donβt think so. I see him at school and he tries to act normal but even he doesnβt respond to me like that outside of school.β The scowl his face makes has deepened and youβre quick to wrap an arm around his leg in comfort. He lets out a weak smile but itβs quick to fall off his face. βIβm confused tooβ¦β
You both stay silent, itβs nearly deafening. βI donβt wanna force him to tell us anything β I mean, he knows he can come to us if he needs it but if heβs really stressed about school maybe we can help give him some space to not think about it. Even if its only for a bit, you know?β Charlie listens to you mumble while tugging at a loose thread on his sweater and nods slowly, eyes lost in thought.
βShould we go somewhere?β He tilts his head back to look at the ceiling before his gaze travels around his roomβs walls, hoping to find an inkling of inspection.
βThat sounds fine.β The somber feeling in the room lifts a bit when you start to grin. You shift onto your back, raising your right arm in the air and sprawl out your fingers. βWe could go out, do something and eatβ¦ I kinda wanna stargaze, is that weird?β
He lets out a chuckle, glancing down at you with a teasing glint in his eyes, βWow, youβre such a romantic, Y/N. Iβm shocked.β To which you scoff.
βWell, duh. Who makes all the date plans?β
βOkay, no, thatβs because you say weβre bad at planning dates β you refuse us to even be involved.β
βCharlie, Nick brought you to a dog park as a date.β
βWhatβs wrong with that?β
βYou both stayed there till nine.β
He full on laughs now, bumping you with his knee and you smack it back in retort. βNo judgement though, I would do the same but that was for the whole day! Who stays at a dog park from Eleven to Nine?β He continues to laugh until they turn into giggles.
βMaybeβ¦ weβre unique.β
βTrue that. You didnβt even bring baby Nells, shaking my head.β To put emphasis, you shake your head and your friend has to gasp out for air. βDonβt die, now.β
βWhatever whatever.β He brings his hands to his face and rubs his cheeks in circular motion to calm himself. His face is flushed and he exhales slowly before reaching for his phone. βDo you want your drink?β
You remove your arm from his leg and sit up properly, holding on your hands and he complies, placing the mug between them. βThank you~β You lean on the wall, flopping your legs onto Charlieβs before crossing them at the ankles β to which he sighs in annoyance and it makes you grin. βWhatβre you doing?β
βIβm gonna search for places to go that is nearby but not too closeβ¦ you have a place in mind for stargazing?β He grabs his own mug that is black and littered with yellow stars, how ironic. You nod sleepily, slowly sipping your preferred drink and tap at the cup absentmindedly.
βYeah, itβs near my house.β
He flicks his eyes towards you for a second.
Then goes back to typing on his phone.
βYou mean it is your home.β
βMaybe.β
You smirk, he sighs and you both go back to planning. Nick honestly better be willing to get his ass dragged out of the house by his lovely girlfriend and boyfriend because money is involved and you both would be damned if he just wallows in self despair, alone.
So, thatβs what happens, you fill Charlieβs parents in on needing to steal your bestfriend during the weekend and some of the plans involved like a movie night. They agreed to let him stay over for the night but he must call every few hours or atleast text.
Your parents love the boys and were completely down with the idea. Of course you also secretly called Nickβs mum and she had filled you in on a couple things that made you a tad bit more nervous to see your boyfriend.
Seems like your assumption was correct (more like Elleβs). βLately heβs been talking about colleges, rightβ¦ heβs planning to go on a trip sometime this month to check them out but he seems stressed, itβs been worrying me. You know though, kids probably donβt want their parents all in their business, haha,β She laughs softly and you can hear running water cut off on her end β probably washing something β βHe knows he can come to me so Iβm just letting him have his space. Itβs lovely you and Charlie want to ease his mind! Glad heβs with and friends with two sweethearts,β This makes your face flare up in embarrassment but your chest puffs with pride.
βOf course, and I know he appreciates you being patient and understanding with him. The thing we donβt wanna do is pressure himβ¦ I just hope this can help take his mind off of the stress and you knowβ¦ relax?β You grimace a bit, tugging at the end of your sleeve as the phone sits between your ear and shoulder.
βI get it, mhm. Thank you, Y/N.β Her voice is still soft but gets even more sincere with a hint of emotion. Had you feeling emotional too.
Saturday is quick to arrive and you stare at your reflection with determination. Brushing down your outfit, you admire your date look a bit more before turning around slowly and snatch your bag off the bed which is filled with random necessities that you may or may not need along with your wallet.
βAlright, Nick Nelson, prepare yourself for the best date youβll ever be on.β You puff out your cheeks, grab you phone of the charger and exit your room. βIβll be off, Mother~β You hum once you reach the end of the staircase and spot your Mom on the couch with a paper in hand.
βWhat is with the formal address?β She chuckles behind her hand, standing up and following you towards the front door. βIβll see you later tonight with Nick and Charlie, right? Enjoy yourselves.β She smiles, wrapping her arms around your head and you hug her back with a gentle squeeze.
βOh! Wait.β
She quickly unravels herself from you and speeds down the hall to the kitchen. Your eyes stare down the direction she went for a few seconds before deciding to slip on your shoes.
βOkay, here you go.β Youβre standing with the door open by the time she comes back and she gives you a picnic basket. Itβs not super big but you have to grab it with two hands. Less from the size, more from the weight.
βMom. What did you pack in here?β You huff out a laugh, going to open the lid but she stops you.
βNo, do not open it. Itβs likeβ¦ a wedding. You canβt see your spouse or itβll be bad luck!β She speaks with a finger raised and you cock an eyebrow up. Whatever you say, Mom is basically your expression and she seems to notice because she places her hands on her hips with an exasperated look. βJust trust me, Iβve done it before and it was bad luck all day.β
βMhm, mhm, right.β You nod, half listening and backing up on your porch. She follows, hand on the doorknob with a soft smile and she pinches your cheek with her other hand. βThanks, I love you.β
βLove you too, honey.β She full on grins now and waves. After your βsee you laterβ promises, youβre quick to dart down the street and across the roads to a nearby park where Charlie said heβd meet you after picking up Nick. It gives you enough time to unload the nice lunch packed for the three of you and hopefully buy some refreshing popsicles or ice creams before they arrive.
Seems like luck is on your side though β maybe your Mom was right β because the minute you finish laying out the huge blanket in a nice shaded area you hear the sound of someone ringing a familiar bell sound. You turn your head so quick it nearly gave you whiplash and your eyes widen at the person walking along the parkβs path, pushing a white squared cart decorated with photos of different types of cold treats.
You take your bag and phone, dialing Charlieβs number while speedwalking across the grassy field. It takes two rings before you hear his voice.
βYes, partner in crime?β His voice comes off as staticky for a moment.
βWhat the hell are you doinβ, your mic is scuffed as hellβ¦β
βIβm walking!β You could imagine the eyeroll Charlie would do and bite your cheek to not laugh.
βAre you with Nick?β You continue to talk but smile in greeting when the ice cream seller stops at you coming over. He says hello and you wave before looking over all the choices on the cart.
βYes. Weβre grabbing drinks right now, you okay?β
βYeah! Iβm at the park, set up the picnic β though the food is still in the basket,β You glance back at your spot and after making sure nothing seems out of the ordinary you look back at the cart. βYou remember those ice cream cart things? You want something?β
Itβs silent between the two of you as Charlie ponders, in the meantime you point to your desired choice and the guy nods with a smile, opening the ice cream cart before digging around in the pile of cold desserts until he finds the one you want.
βDo they-β He cuts himself off with a chuckle and you perk up at his voice, βDo they um,β He snorts this time then sighs to calm himself, βThe ones with the bubblegum eyes. I wanna try one.β
You laugh a little, thanking the ice cream man as he sets the packaged treat in your hand. βDo you want the sonic one or something?β
βWhatever you spot first or whichever is given. Oh wait- Nick-β You zone out a bit as he speaks to the blond and point to the blue hedgehog. The ice cream man continues his search. βHe said he wants the crybaby ice cream.β
βOh god.β You sigh in adoration, tilting your head back to the clear blue sky. βWerenβt they, like, terrible the last time we tried them?β
This time you hear Nickβs cheerful voice and he scoffs, βOkay, no. That was because for some weird reason you and Darcy wanted to put warheads into the mix.β
βThank you,β You say to the nice man, grabbing a ten and a five dollar bill as a tip out of your wallet with a smile. You then put all the treats into your bag along with the wallet, waving the man bye which he returns and goes on his merry way. Your focus goes back to the two boys. βAh yes, I remember the part where your face went sooo red. Hilarious, I have videos I think.β
He groans in prospect and you hear muffled giggles erupt from Charlie. βWhy do you do this to me?β
βWhat are you talking about?β You tease and he groans again.
Charlie then speaks up, sounding way closer to the phone. βAlright! Weβll see you in two-point-five seconds.β You hum in response and say your goodbyes before hanging up the phone.
You reach the blanket again, flopping on your tush and take the ice creams out, aligning them with precision on top of the picnic basket. Charlie doesnβt disappoint because not two minutes later you see two familiar figures walking down the park path, one of them pointing towards your general direction and ditching the path to the grass.
You could feel your heart pound fromβ¦ nervousness or excitement? Maybe both and it makes you grin, waving at the two. They get closer and Charlie waves awkwardly with a hand that has a drink in it, to which you notice his other hand also had a drinkβ¦ and one of Nickβs. The blondβs other hand is carrying headbands of some sort and a bag is hanging off his arm.
βChar told me to get these while we were in the grocery store.β Nick speaks first when they get to you, he lifts the hand with headbands. βI decided not to question it.β You raise your hands and he carefully sets the accessories in them. Ah. Barbie headbands.
βCharlieβ¦β Your brows pinch in amusement but also bewilderment. βWhat have you decided?β
He chuckles mysteriously, lifting a foot off the ground to point at your hand. βPut those down and take your drink, please. My hands are freezing.β
βOops.β You comply and take the cup. The two eventual settle down with Nick in the middle and you quietly take a nice sip of the beverages. βThank you.β
The boys nod and you glance at Nick, noticing the shadows of bags under his eyes. It makes you frown for a second, βSo, what am I doing here on this lovely day.β Before you could inquire, Nick speaks up first, eyes shutting in contentment and a pretty smile adoring his face.
You lean back on the palm of your hand, eyeing Charlie and he meets your gaze. βCan we not want to hang out with the one and only, Mr. Nick Nelson?β You speak with a teasing tone, leaning into his side. His smile goes wider and he opens his eyes to meet yours.
βYou make me sound like some big shot.β
Your eyes narrow.
βWell it was hard to reach youβ¦ soβ¦β His gaze falters along with his smile, nervously tapping the top of his cup. βNot to pressure you, you know that but Charlie and I will always be there to listen if you need it.β You poke his arm gently and you spot Charlieβs hand sliding into Nickβs.
βYeah.β Charlie nods, squeezing their hands, βBut if not, thatβs fine too. Y/N and I wanted to just, relax with you. Spend some time together.β
That makes Nick let out a shaky laugh and a wobbly smile. βThanks.β He pauses. βReally. Itβs just been, crazy?β He nibbles at his bottom lip before sighing and flops on his back, leaving his cup between his crossed legs and dragging the two of you down with him β which makes you all share a laugh.
Charlie rests against his boyfriendβs chest β facing his direction and you flip onto your stomach to play with both of their soft locks. βWhat has?β You ask softly.
Heβs silent for a bit, tapping his fingers on your back with his free hand. βIβm not sure, school? Life? β¦Me? Thereβs no exact reason, everything just seems to be crashing down in my brain and itβs annoying to say the least.β He sighs heavily, βIβm probably just having that kind of month where everything is just feels like alot.β He frowns and you move the hand in his hair down under his chin, gently squeezing his cheeks and he chuckles.
βThatβs perfectly fine, it happens.β You move the hand to trail up the left side of his face and place your palm over his forehead like youβre checking his temperature and it makes Charlie join in, prodding at Nickβs neck gently.
βThereβs a lot going through your life right now, perfectly understandable why it feels overwhelming and such. Thank you for talking to us about it.β Charlie speaks softly.
βOf course. I donβt,β Nick pauses, opening his eyes with a flash of worry, βI donβt want it to feel like Iβm shutting you both out or anything, or if it feels like youβve done something wrong. I feel less weird thinking Iβm overreacting, hahaβ¦β The laugh comes off flat but from the reassuring smiles from his lovers, he feels at ease.
βYouβre not.β
βNuh-uh.β You and Charlie speak simultaneously, denying such thoughts. It makes Nick laugh which sounds less forceful.
βI donβt think Iβll be able to talk about everything right now since I donβt even think Iβm doneβ¦ accessing everything but really, thank you. You both are my anchors.β If you didnβt tear up from that, your heart definitely did. Charlie gets up off Nick, letting go of the blondβs hand and tilts his head back with his hands over his face.
βSame, Charlie.β You cover your own face and lay flat against the blanket.
βIβ¦β Nick trails off with another laugh and he sits back up which catches both of your attention. βCan we eat though, Iβm getting a little hungry.β He gives a shy smile and you also sit up.
βOh shit, what if the ice cream melted?!β This realization has the three of you shooting towards the basket, grabbing the packaged delights and simultaneously sigh in relief. Theyβre not meltedβ¦ yet.
βShould we just eat these first and then eat the actual lunch next?β Charlie bites back a laugh, already opening up the plastic and pulling out the bubblegum eye Sonic, wasting no time to put it in his mouth with wide adorning eyes.
You and Nick watch him in amusement before opening your own. βI wanted this lime popsicle they usually sell but there were none.β You sigh before eyeing Nickβs container of airhead ice cream. He opens the top and it reveals the swirls ofβ¦ red? Or pink and green.
βThatβs funny, we saw those while we were at the store. There were these coconut flavors too.β Nick reminisces, plucking the taped but wrapped in itβs own plastic wooden spoon off the side of the ice cream container.
Charlie hums before looking down at the bitten into Sonic, βWhy does Sonic have green eyes? Are they actually green?β
You all stay silent.
βI thought they were black or brown?β You speak in confusion.
βRight? Even blueβ¦.β Charlie tilts his head.
βTechnically all of those are correct though they turn red as wellβ¦ Itβs the different franchises, I guess?β Nick furrows his brows in thought, scooping into his sour treat after freeing the wooden stick and eats away, wincing here and there. You watch with amusement.
The lunch date you can say with absolute certainty was very successful. You all catch up on things that have been going on and different shows youβve been watching. Sharing ice cream, stuffing yourselves full with your Momβs cooking β there was even a drink war? All you knew was one minute you were nearly done with your beverage and the next itβs being tossed in Nickβs direction as you try and run away from Charlieβs retort from you getting him seconds before. Ah, canβt forget the classic kisses shared under one of the many trees at the park and the newest photos stored in your βNick & Char β€οΈβ album, like the picture of Charlie βpaintingβ Nickβs face with whip cream. Where the fuck did you get whip cream from? Ask your mother.
Around the time you were all packing up, a teenager around your age ran up with their four other friends and inform you there is a nice walking trail β pointing towards the area where the park path splits, one continuing into a circle around the whole field and the other going into an area with rows of trees.
βYβthink weβll get jumpscared? Like a haunted path or something.β You joked.
βThey said thereβs a nice stream down the path.β Nick smirks at your joking, placing a hand on your head and you puff out your cheeks, feeling them heat up a bit.
βAh yes, you can take a nice swim in it when I push you in there, Y/N.β Charlie hums, quick to dart his eyes away when you flip your head in his direction.
βYouβre so evil to me?β You watch him with wild eyes, mouth agape and he laughs.
βDo you think weβll actually able to get in?β Nick ponders and you flip the wild gaze to him now.
βWith us three, Iβm sure we can pull it off.β Charlie responds with a menacing grin, mischief all up in his eyes and youβre playing ping pong with your eyes, flitting back and forth between them.
βIβm gonna be arrested today, huhβ¦β Your boyfriend and bestfriend just giggle like evil people.
In the end, you three didnβt get in the streamβs water but there were some fishes so you decided to feel them the crust that Charlie didnβt eat from his sandwich and take some more photos. Nick had picked Charlie up bridal-style, getting dangerously close to the water and you record it all.
βDonβt drop me!β Charlie tightens his hold around Nick, fear and excitement in his tone.
βThis takes me back to the beachβ¦β Nick ignores his boyfriendβs pleas and spins around carefully.
βDo not reminisce while Iβm in your arms, please and thank you?!β He exclaims and it makes you full on laugh, an arm over your stomach while watching the whole exchange happen.
Itβs not long before it turns from afternoon to evening, you three return back from the area with Nick and Charlie debating on if they saw a deer or not. Charlie saying it was definitely there and Nick saying it wasnβt there.
βCarl Grimes flashbacksβ¦β You hum and Charlie puts you in a headlock.
βDo not. I will cry right here.β He pouts and pulls at your cheeks, ignoring your protests. Nick watches with a soft gleam in his eyes, rocking the picnic basket back and forth with a hand.
You all walk down the sidewalk side by side once Charlie lets you go, talking about random things before Nick realizes the direction youβre going.
βAre we dropping Y/N off?β He frowns.
It catches you and Charlie off guard. βWhat? What makes you think that?β You raise an eyebrow. Nick points ahead and your house in slowly coming up in view. Ah.
βAh.β Charlie speaks your thought and you both share a laugh. βNo, weβre not dropping her off.β Charlie stretches his arms with a grunt before eyeing the bag strapped around Nick. βYou brought pajamas and clothes for tomorrow, right?β
Nick nods, pursing his lips. βStill confused about that.β
You scoff in amusement and place a hand on your forehead with an endearing smile. βNickβ¦β
βDonβt worry, youβll understand soon.β Charlie gives him a thumbs up, paired with a wink before darting ahead of the two of you. Nick flicks his gaze to you in question but you put on an act and shrug.
βWhat he said,β You pause for a moment, eyes burning into Nickβs, βDo you like stargazing?β
He moves closer to you, closing the gap and tugs your hand in his. The question makes him look up at the sky for a moment. βMmm. Never tried it before? What counts as stargazing? Iβveβ¦ been in the car on trips and looked out the windowβ¦?β You give him a perplexed look which he returns.
βAlright, well-β You chuckle, βThat canβ¦ technically count? I guess? Justβ¦ Yeah.β You give up midway, tugging Nick along when you get closer to the front of your house where Charlie awaits. βYouβre on your phone while youβre on a date? Tsk tsk.β You tut your lips in disapproval and Charlie startles.
He rolls his eyes, flipping his phone to the two of you bounding up the steps. βI was texting Saha- oops, hold on-β He cuts himself off, flipping the phone back around with a nervous smile.
You glance at Nick before moving your hand to cover his eyes with your other hand. He gasps in surprise but doesnβt question it any further, grinning a bit. Facing back to Charlie you mouth the word, βBarbie?β and tilt your head in confusion. He nods.
βYouβre silly.β You remove your hand from Nickβs face and flatten your hand, tapping Charlieβs forehead in a chopping motion. He rubs the area with a laugh and you knock on your front door.
βDid you forget your keys?β Nick giggles when you give him a look of shame.
βMaybe.β
Your Mom is quick to open the door, grinning widely. βWelcome back. Hello, Charlie and Nick.β They wave in shyness and she scoots back to let the three of you in. βWhatβs the plan next, soldier?β She bumps the door closed with her hip and loosely crosses her arms, raising an eyebrow at you specifically.
βGonna go in the back for about an hourβ¦β You trail off, taking your shoes off in the most complicated way. With your feet, or the heels per-say. When you finish you take the basket from Nick and walk to the kitchen with your mom as the boys finish taking off their own shoes. βTo stargaze.β You finally finish when Nickβs ears are out of reach.
She pats you on the back with approval, βAttagirl. How was lunch?β
βIt was fun! We spoke a bit, ate and went down a trail.β You bounce your head to the side while listening the activities before pausing. βHe seems moreβ¦ energized?β Your lips purse.
βWas that a question?β She leans against the counter, one arm coming out of the self-hug and she combs her hand through your hair. You give her an awkward look and she breathes out a laugh. Tapping the crown of your forehead, she moves away to the fridge with a soft smile. βWell, if he seems to be uplifted,β She eyes you before taking out three water bottles. βThatβs great news, no?β Then sets them infront of you on counter.
βYouβre right butβ¦ I donβt know. I just feel like I can do more,β You huff. βBut thatβs dumb because of course I canβt, this has to be something Nick figures out and all I can do is support him.β
βHoney, that is doing more for him. Supporting him is the biggest help you can five someone, along with what youβre already doing. Taking him out, letting him have space to clear his mind and being a safe net. Same thing with Charlie, no?β Her hands latch onto your shoulders and give the muscles a gentle squeeze. βI know it feels like you want to do so much more but, thereβs only so much.β You tilt your head back and look up at her with a half-smile before relenting.
βYouβre right.β
βA mother is always right.β She lets go and moves towards the stove, giving you a smug side eyeβ¦ which you return with an unamused eyeroll.
βYes, yes. My mother is always right. Sometimes.β
βAbout ninety-nine percent.β
βNinety-fiveβ¦β You lift an eyebrow and give her pointed look. She has a spoon in her hand when she looks over you and points it to her chin in thought, itβs just a bit though.
βNinety-seven. Take it or leave it.β
You scoff in amusement before scooping up the bottles, βWhatever you say, maβam. Weβll be outside.β She hums in understanding and you exit out the kitchen, walking into the dining room before reaching the living room where the duo waits.
βPleasure for you to join us.β Charlie smirks and takes two of the bottles from your arms with a nod of thanks.
βBe welcomed.β Nick muses with a grin and cracks open the bottle, taking a quick refreshing sip.
βWhat is this speech? I hate it.β Your face scrunches up in disgust before gesturing to the sliding glass door. βShall we?β
βLook whoβs doing it nowβ¦β Charlie stares at you cheekily. You give him the finger, he returns it.
There are slides in a shoe rack near the door and you three take a pair before stepping out. Nickβs eyes widen in wonder. Your backyard has a big blanket β similar to the one from the picnic β sitting in the middle of the area that has a plot of grass and lanterns that hang off metal rods sit nicely around in the grass that have curves at the end, doing nicely as handles. What surprises you are the little bugs that fly and flicker with a yellow-green gleam in the air.
βSince when do we get fireflies?β You speak first.
βSince forever, Y/N.β Charlie poked your back and you jump, flipping around to get him back but heβs already slipped behind Nick.
βYou littleβ¦β
βAh, ah ah, you have to be nice to me.β
βSays who?β Heβs being ridiculous.
βSays me. Your bestfriend.β He peaks around Nickβs side β who, mind you, is still focusing on the backyardβs look β with a teasing grin.
βIβmma beat you up.β
βNo!β He lets out a laugh when you lunge towards him, twirling out of your reach and running around with you flailing behind.
It felt special to Nick. The orange-red sky turning into itβs pitch dark blue color, stars twinkling down on you three with a full moon bright. His eyes are stuck on his two partners, the fireflies swirling around them out of disturbance but still they still decorate the backyard with green-yellow hues, not ready to leave. He remembers this conversation you had in this backyard a year agoβ¦
βDo you think fireflies come around this area?β You were sitting on a bean bag, legs tucked beneath yourself and were practically sunken into the βseat.β Charlie had insisted you to put it on the concrete side of the backyard so you did and now your face is hidden behind Nickβs switch in your hands.
Speaking of who, Nick is currently soaked wet, wringing out the ends of his shirt and Charlie wraps himself up in a towel. Itβs late night, pitch dark but they wanted to play with water balloons and your Mom happened to be out of the house to pick up dinner.
βMaybeβ¦β He leans back to look at the sky. βWhy? Do you like fireflies or something?β He looks back down at you. The question has you silent for a couple of beats before you set down the console. He watches you with an amused twinkle in his gaze, puffing out his chest in pride at seeing you in his sweater. Charlie had been wearing it earlier and you both traded before they brought out the balloons.
βI mean, I have never seen any so, maybe, maybe not.β You shrug, unfolding your legs and stretching them out with a groan. Your socked feet slap down against the concrete and you sit up a bit. βDonβt you think theyβre kinda special though? My Mom said itβs like theyβre glowing up your night, dancing around you and stuff.β You eye the floor. βAppearing on specials occasions like they know,β You lean back into the seat with a sigh, βSaid thatβs how she got married. Isnβt that crazy?β
Charlie purses his lips, tilting his head to the side before smiling, βSounds magical. Theyβre the βtrue loveβ bugs.β His smile widens into a grin.
βExactly!β You snap your fingers with a nod, bumping your heel against the stone pavement.
βIβm sure they do appear out here though, donβt they come out at Midnight?β Charlie shivers while speaking, hugging the towel around himself tighter. You sympathize with a playful grin.
βMaybe. But well, you boys should get inside and warm up. Weβll try next time.β
βNick! Are you gonna come and lay down?β He snaps out of his head, eyes darting to you and Charlie lying on the blanket though Charlie is trying to tap out from a leg lock you have him in.
He snorts in surprise, not missing a beat and closing the distance. βHow the hell did this happen?β
βNick! Help me~β Charlie wails before pinching your thigh, making you yelp and quickly let go.
βThat is cheating!β You exclaim, rubbing your leg with a wince.
βAllβs fair in war.β He snickers, reaching a hand out to Nick who takes it and sits down between you two.
Itβs a nice silence between the three of you, youβre not sure who laid down first but you eventually followed. Nick has his arms wrapped around the two of you and youβve glanced up at his face which shows contentment. You even met his gaze while peeking and it caught you off guard with how much his brown orbs were filled with much love and affection.
You reach a hand out towards Charlie and tussle at curls, making him whine in protest but lets you continue anyway. βIβm not good with constellations so youβre not gonna be getting that during this stargaze adventure.β You mumble against Nick with a laugh and it makes the other two chuckle.
βNah, thatβs alrightβ¦ Iβm happy with thisβ¦β You and Charlie freeze at how soft Nickβs voice sounds. Serene. Content. More than happy but not quite ecstatic. Filled with much love directed towards the two of you and it has your heart pounding.
You sit up on your elbow, making Nickβs arm slip off of you and he eyes you with suspicion. βActuallyβ¦β This would be way more comfortable on your knees so you sit up, tuck your calves beneath you and cuff Charlieβs face into your hands. Itβs nearly laugh worthy of how quick his face turns a deep red and how you felt it happen under your touch.
You lean forward, careful not to face-plant into him β that would be awkwardβ¦ and painful β pressing your lips against him. You both move into a soft but passionate rhythm. Your thumb brushes against his dusted cheeks, pressing hard against his lips one final time before moving back with a dazed grin.
He returns it, chuckling shyly before meeting Charlieβs intense gaze. You choke back a laugh with the swiftness of your friend sliding up a bit, hand softly cupping the side of Nickβs face and sharing their own kiss. Also very slow, and passionate. Your tilt your head up towards your house, eyeing the sliding door and sigh in relief to not see your Mom near it. By the time your gaze returns youβre meeting with the two boys staring at you with flushed faces.
βOh my god, youβre so red.β You laugh.
βShut up?β Charlie hands an arm over his face, probably burning up a bit more from the teasing.
The fireflies have died down, some still hanging around but you notice most are gone and a smile tugs at your lips. βWanna go inside now?β
Charlie removes his arm with a sharp inhale and the two nod. βDo you need to bring the blanket in?β He points to the cloth when you all stand and youβre quick to shake your head.
βNah. Iβll grab and wash it tomorrow,β You stretch your limbs, hearing some pop. βI need new bonesβ¦β
Nick sticks his tongue out in playful disgust, βThat sounds horrific.β
βWouldnβt that be crazy though? If we needed to trade in new bones when weβre old and seniors.β
βY/N.β Charlieβs eyebrows bend and he grimaces, βWhy do you come up with the most freaky scenarios.β Itβs not a question.
βYeah, like the apocalypse one from before.β Nick pitches in with a frown that falters into a smile.
You all step into the living room after youβre done turning off the lanterns and have grabbed your bottles, βBecause my brain is so amazing that I just think of things you would never think of.β You make a gesture to your brain before wiggling your fingers like youβve done a magic trick.
βOr so you sayβ¦β Charlie glances somewhere else before meeting your eyes, βLess would never think of more, shouldnβt think of.β He flicks his hand towards you, thumb and index finger out in a finger gun.
βHey, these could be real life events soon to happen.β
βYeah the bones theory would happen when we all become immortal.β He chuckles and you roll your eyes.
Then boom, jumpscare. Your Mom appears just as youβre settling on the couch. A screech leaves all of your mouths and she stares in shock with mild confusion and amusement.
βHello to you three, too.β She giggles, walking over to the glass door, tugging the lock between the handle down and pulls the thick curtains down. βEnjoy stargazing?β She turns back around with a soft smile.
You three shift your gazes away. Apparently it wasnβt just you that still had the intimate moment in the back of your brain, huh? βYeah, thanks Mom.β
If she noticed the slight awkwardness building up, she doesnβt mention it nor show it and instead clasps her hands together, βThatβs wonderful! Dinner is finished so feel free to grab whatever you want. Iβll be upstairs if you need me.β She fills you in on her own plan for the night which is pretty much staying in her room so you all have your own time. She then tilts her head, eyes spacing out until she perks up, βAnd then thereβs brownies that are baking, should be finished soon. I set a timer so when you hear it please take it our for me, Y/N.β
You nod before frowning, βWhy does it have to be me?β Apparently she didnβt understand from the confusion crossing her face. You then point to Charlie and Nick.
Charlie looks offended, βWe are a guest?β but his tone is light.
βYou practically live here? Your clothes are in my closet, mind you.β Nick and your Mom choke out a laugh while Charlie flares up, flustered.
βNickβs are too?!β
βWhich is why I included him in my pointing?!β
Two people are bickering, two people laughing at the scene. It doesnβt take long for you Mom to calm you both down, βIt doesnβt matter who, it doesnβt matter if itβs all three of you. Please just donβt let them burn.β She chuckles a bit more before rubbing her hand against her collarbone to calm herself, βHave a great time. Iβll be in my room.β You all wave her βgoodnightβ and she retreats upstairs.
You three share a silence. Then Nick speaks,
ββ¦So what exactly are we doing? It seems you both are full of surprises today,β He wears a teasing look which makes you and Charlie look away.
βDonβt worry about it, mister. You enjoy the ride.β You talk first before nudging Charlie with your leg. βYou put the movie on, Iβll go make our plates and...β You eye Nick for a moment not knowing what he should do.
βNick, I put the backpack in Y/Nβs room, could you go get it while we set up? Oh! The headbands too.β Charlie pitches in and grins at the mention of the headbands. You and Nick blink at him before standing up to dart down your own paths.
While youβre making the plates the oven timer does go off. You take a toothpick from one of the drawers, flick on the oven light, open the oven β making you flinch back from the heat β then poke the dark chocolate fudge goodness. It has baked all the way so you grab oven mitts and drag the pan of brownies out of itβs cooker, sets it on the stove and flick turn the oven off.
After making sure everything was set in the kitchen you grab two plates and exit the kitchen, back into the living room where the movie is paused on the TV right before it begins. Charlie stands up and helps grab the two plates, letting you dart back into the kitchen again for the last one just in time for Nick to return.
βDo you want drinks? We got juices, sodas, water, you name it.β You peak your head out behind the dining room wall and the two boys pause midway in putting on the barbie headbands. You bite your lip to hold back a laugh.
βDo you have that tropical mix?β Nick speaks and you nod, he points at you in affirmation of the drink then finishes adjusting the plastic accessory around his hair.
βRoot beer, please.β Charlie speaks next before his eyes shine open and wide, βDo you think we can have floatsβ¦β
Your eyebrows perk up, βI think we have vanilla? But youβre not getting that till the brownies cool down.β
βOh, theyβre out? Thank Barbie.β He holds his hands up in a prayer.
You stare at him, very much unamused and he gives you a cheeky grin.
βIβll have tropical juice for now then.β
With a thumbs up you return to the kitchen once more, grabbing three tall glass cups from the cabinet and grab the carton juice out the fridge. You fill up two cups before staring at your own. After deciding your choice of drink, you put everything away and startle while turning around and seeing Nick in the doorway.
βSorry,β He smiles apologetically, walking up to you and grabbing the cups filled with juice that is his and Charlieβs. He catches you off guard once again, planting a soft kiss on your cheek before bounding off to the living room again.
βWhat the fuck.β You stand in oblivion, feeling your face heat up. You decide you wonβt unpack that tonight, flicking off the kitchen light and rejoining your movie mates.
Nick and Charlie had switched spots to where the blond was in the middle like he had been all day and your boyfriend pats the free spot next to him. You comply, setting your cup on the table while sitting and you lean into Nick with a soft smile.
βYou forgot this, kind maβam.β Charlie grabs the plastic pink band and you lean forward. He puts it on carefully and leans back with a self-satisfied expression, grabbing the remote with a quite cheer. βAre we ready for the best movie night ever?β
You and Nick watch him with amusement, βYes, Charles, we are.β
βNot Charles, I will fight you.β He shivers at the name.
βYou call me Nicholas?β Nick speaks. It makes you laugh.
βItβs your real name.β He grins.
βIs Charles not your real name, Char?β You lift an eyebrow and he rolls his eyes, still wearing the grin.
βNo, it is βCharlie βCharβ Springβ.β
You let out an insufferable sigh.
βYβknow, Y/N has called me βLukeβ before.β Nick leans his head back with a scoff. This makes you have a full on belly laugh which makes Charlie react the same way. βYes, yes laugh it away.β He sighs like heβs in pain.
It takes five minutes to calm down. You wipe a precious tear away, βIt was on call too and he hung up. Would not answer for like, an hour.β You inhale deeply at the memory before laughing again.
βShould we start calling him Luke as a nickname?β
βPlease, please donβt.β Nick squeezes the arm wrapped around Charlieβs waist with a pleading look.
βAwwe you canβt do that.β He pouts, reaching up to pinch Nickβs face.
βDho wha?β He sounds funny with Charlie tugging at his face.
βThe puppy eyed look. The doe eyes.β You bat your eyelashes at Nick when he eyes you from the corner of his eyes before rolling them.
βWeβve gone all dahy withosut this, nowh yuu wanna shtart?β Now heβs the one doing the insufferable sighing.
βItβs a daily mission.β Charlie nods, a serious expression crossing his looks β putting on an act. He then lets go and grabs the remote again, βMovie time!β
βMovie time!β You cheer afterwards.
You three are silent for a bit as the movie plays, you and Charlie cuddling into Nick. He plants soft kisses down your face and you flush a bit. Then he moves to Charlie, repeating the action, who giggles quietly and eyes Nick with a shy look. It makes you laugh under your breath and Charlie doesnβt miss it, pointing to you with a brow raised and expression saying, βDonβt laugh at me when youβre acting the same.β You look away.
βHey,β Nick suddenly speaks up and the two of you look over. βThanks for today. It really helped calm me downβ¦β He continues to train his eyes on the TV but his ears burn from you and Charlie giving him your undivided attention. βAnd reassured me about a few thingsβ¦β He purses his lips.
βReassured?β Charlie asks quietly, as if afraid to make Nick snap his mouth shut and not speak again.
Nick sucks in a breath and you shiver from his fingers crawling up your arm. You watch Charlie lift his own hand and hold the arm wrapped around him.
βYeah. Since everything felt like it was crashing down, I donβt know. It kinda made me feelβ¦ negative? About certain stuff. Between us. Not that Iβm not happy, Iβm more than thankful to be with you two but just like, how you both felt towards meβ¦β His pursed lips flatten and your brows bend at the way his eyes dim.
βBreaking up with me for example because maybe you felt neglected or such. It made me so scared to think about I stopped responding to both of your messages most of the time and barely wanted to call because you know, what if one day you just went, βYeah I donβt think we should be together,β such and such.β You both stay quiet to let him speak his mind and you hate that he ever thought such things.
When Nick stays silent you take a sharp inhale, meeting eyes with Charlieβs glossed ones. The sight breaks your heart. βNickβ¦β You start off carefully and he looks over to you with so much exhaust. Slowly, you cuff his face β the same way you did outside β brushing your thumbs against him cheeks. Your right hand moves down, playfully you press your thumb against his bottom lip and smile gently.
βIβm sorry that you ever felt that way. Itβs far from the truth, sweetheart.β He lets out an airy chuckle and you watch with adoration. βYβknow brains come up with the craziest scenarios when youβre stressed and itβs annoying, and stupid.β You huff, left hand moving against his cheek and he leans into the touch. Your thumb and index finger latch onto his ear and you pinch it lightly. βDo you know that, that would never happen unless you came to me asking for such a thing?β You pucker out your lips.
He watches you in a daze before laughing. βDo you know that would never happen?β Then he turns to Charlie with a soft look. βAnd you, Char?β
Charlie rubs at his reddening eyes and inhales. He then nods, opening his mouth before faltering. You both give him and moment and he closes his eyes in frustration before heaving out a sigh. Concern is evident in both of your expressions but Charlie opens his eyes with a new look of determination, straight at Nick.
He smacks his hands against Nickβs shoulders which makes the latterβs mouth hang open in surprise. βNick. I love you. A lot. It hurts to know that you were dealing with these emotions, but know Iβm not blaming you. How could I? Itβs not your fault. Never feel bad for needing to take your time to sort out your own feelings and whatβs going on with yourself. Weβd never blame you for that because in the end, you know we have you, right?β
Nick nods and you can see his own eyes get glossy as well. Charlie then looks at you, βI love you too, Y/N, donβt tell Tao but youβre my bestfriend.β He chuckles, wiping at his eye again and you wipe at your owns.
βHey, he can be your guy bestfriend and we wouldnβt have to fight over titles.β You wink, before leaning to Nick and kissing him softly. βI love you both, very much so. Iβm glad you were able to talk to us, Nick.β
βWas that your goal today?β He grins in a joking manner, tilting his head in the crook of Charlieβs neck while entangling his fingers with yours.
βDid it work?β Charlie sniffles a bit before laughing. You laugh as well, βThis is ridiculous weβre supposed to be watching Barbie and now weβre sobbing.β
βI give up.β You throw your head back, side eyeing the TV.
βNooo, donβt give up.β Nicks chuckles before sitting upright. βWe can still watchβ¦ we should probably eat too.β He points to the lonely plates on the table.
βTrue.β You and Charlie agree. You three take a moment to collect yourselves with a few embarrassed laughs here and there before settling back down.
βWhatβs in the bag, by the way?β You gesture to the backpack under the coffee table as Charlie rewinds the movie back to the beginning. He glances down.
βSnacks.β
βItβs good.β You hum in approval, taking a bite of your food. The three of you enjoy the movie and dinner, later on making those root beer floats paired with the brownies. Charlie had explained to Nick that he was texting Sahar about the Barbie Movie and she told him she went with Imogen. Apparently, Imogen gives the movie a 2/10 because she messed up her outfit at the theaters.
βThatβs terrible.β Nick stares at Charlie in shock but it doesnβt last long with the way his lips curve into a smirk, βThatβs not her real rating though, is it?β
βOf course not, she loved it.β Charlie laughs.
Youβve been quiet this whole time but suddenly loll your head to face them. Nick already giving you an exasperated look when you got their attention. βNick. Your new name in my phone is Ken Nelson.β

Charlie spring with sibling reader headcanons
Being Charlie Springs Sibling Would Include
Pairings: Charlie Spring x sibling!reader (some other characters makes an appearance)
Warnings: spoilers form season 2, mention of homophobia, mention of self harm, a bit angst?, mostly fluff
A/N In celebration of Heartsopper season two I thought why not write all the heartstopper requests I havenβt done yet, so here we go
And if you have a request with heartstopper pls send them
So whatever gender you have obviously decides what school you go to
I also believe youβd be older than Charlie, heβd definitely be the youngest
Really supportive of Charlie, even more so when he was outed and started to get bullied, if you go to the same school youβd definitely come to Charlieβs rescue and defend him (a bit harder to do if you arenβt in the same school)
Teaming up with Tori to comfort and protect your brother
if you arenβt or if you are going to the same school doesnβt matter either way youβd always comfort him at home
Knowing about his self harm, and the fact he doesnβt eat much, which you try to help with as much as you can
Comforting hugs
Movie marathon
Being friends with his friends, because they are genuinely good people and support him like you do.
When he got his crush on Nick you would tease him most days, and he would be stood blushing in his room with a smile on his face
If youβre part of lgbtq+ then he and the rest of your family would be supportive of you too
When he got together with Nick youβd be a bit protective first knowing about Ben before, but as soon as you see that Nick is a good guy the two of you become friends, and you share memories of Charlie to Nick.
Whenever Charlie goes to a party if you donβt come with him you make sure he has someone with him that will look out for him, because he doesnβt do too well in public spaces
Charlie, when I think of him I canβt stop thinking that he talks more to his siblings or friends about his problems so I imagine heβd go to you a lot of times if something was troubling him
A lot of gossip about Nick, like a lot, Charlie canβt stop talking about him
Omg imagine you were also at that dinner party with Nickβs family, you would definitely stand up for Nick, to Charlieβs surprise and which would also make him really happy <3
Pillow wars
Omg imagine when Charlie was a child and got nightmares and he would go into your room to cuddle with you, and youβd let him everytime, even to this day (my little brother does this instead of going to our parents, itβs so cute)
Just the best of siblings
I donβt know what else really, might add more if I come up with something, but for now this is it

Coincidence
pairing: yandere!nick nelson x male!reader
summary: you used to think it was purely coincidental how nick had always been there to help you. or even just talk. but you soon discover that it may not be a coincidence at all.
warnings: yandere, obsession, stalking, blood, murder, harry Greene is a warning himself, homophobia, f slur(I promise I can say it), and violence.
It began a few months ago. And at first it didnβt seem that odd. Nick Nelson being constantly there wherever you were. In fact you found it kind of nice.
You had a big crush on him anyways. You had plenty of opportunities to confess. But your friend Tao is convinced heβs straight and also, a bit odd.
βOkay, you think itβs not weird that heβs like everywhere? Tao scoffed. βThis is an all-boys school, Charlie reminded him. βSo? What do you think y/n? Tao asked, hoping youβd take his side.
βIβm not that bothered, I appreciate your protectiveness but we donβt even really know each other do we? You say, assuring him it was just strange coincidences that may be a blessing in disguise.
Tao rolled his eyes.βdonβt say I didnβt warn you.β And then the rugby game. That obviously was a coincidence but you did know he was great at it. And Charlie your friend was in it so you should support him.
βY/n, hey! Nick said, over by where you were. They were either done or taking a break. βHi, You say. You were shy and when a popular guy is talking to you? Yeah youβre a bit nervous.
βIt is kind of funny we always run into each other, Nick Joked. You laughed.βTao thinks it isnβt a coincidence.β Nick laughs nervously which you found weird but brushed it off.
βY/N! Tao whines. You come back over. βTaoβs being dramatic, again, Elle says. This was the time Higgs and Truham were kind of reunited.
βWhat about this time? You sigh, while smiling. You didnβt mind your friend being dramatic but sometimes he was a bit too dramatic.
βHe thinks that Nickβs like obsessed with you or something, Isaac said. βOh my god, you laugh, finding it funny.βTao, youβre being a bit dramatic now donβt you think?β
βI donβt care, Iβm just looking out for you, Tao said, crossing his arms. You always looked out for him too. βAnd I appreciate it so much but trust me on this one, heβs just a friend that I occasionally talk to, You assure him.
βMhm, Charlie teased.βYou definitely like him, y/n.β You smile, you didnβt deny it because at that point it was obvious. Why deny anything?
βYouβre not denying it! Elle laughs.βSo itβs official, you like rugby king nick nelson.β βJust be a bit quieter, I donβt want the whole world to hear, you say softly.
βSorry, Elle apologized. βYou know what? Iβm happy for you, Tao said.βstill think thereβs something off.β Deep down you felt that too but because you really were into him you ignored those feelings.
But the way he played was really good and he was very, pretty. βYouβre staring again arenβt you? Isaac chuckled. You sigh.βfine. I am. But look at him!β
βAs your golden straight friend I donβt really see it, Tao said. βWell you arenβt gay! Charlie chuckled.βY/n has good taste.β They were taking a break so Charlie was chatting with your friends for a bit before being called back over.
He was really good at rugby and you couldnβt be more happier for Charlie. He was becoming well liked though some still made fun of him for being gay. You were also gay and got made fun. Thatβs the bad part about Truham, homophobes.
Speaking of homophobes, you were preparing to leave the school when Harry and his βMatesβ come up to you. βHey Y/n, Iβve got some questions to ask, He says.
βUm, okay, you reply nervously. βAre you like attracted to any of the guys here? Cause you know, itβs an all boys school, He laughed.
βNo, You lied. βWell howβs it like being gay? Harry asked. For someone who was asking sexuality questions it seemed like Harry himself was a homosexual. You wouldnβt be surprised if that was the case.
βOr are you just that little fag who likes every guy? Harry said. βOkay, thatβs it, you scoff, walking away while he simply laughed at you. You were so annoyed at that point.
You just ignored them at that point. Your walk home wasnβt too far from the school, it was not that much of a walk. But the laughter that was usually so loud stopped.
You could still hear their conversation and at that point mostly everyone had gone home. But your curiosity caught up to you. Besides your sneaking suspicion wanted you to eavesdrop because you also heard Nick pipe in.
βRelax, mate, it was just a joke, you hear Harry say.βAnd how did you even hear us?β βWell it obviously wasnβt funny to him, especially when you used the f slur, Nick said,
Harry just laughed before saying nick was being sensitive. Thatβs when you heard someone punch. And you knew it was Nick. He had punched Harry. You thought thatβs where it would end. But it didnβt. Not even close. You crept closer and saw the horrific scene.
Nick was definitely punching Harry, who couldnβt even fight back at that point, and his friends had fled in fear you could only assume. Maybe Tao had been right. For once.
You wanted to scream but didnβt. What if he heard you? You decided you had to do the one thing you were horrible at.
Running.
Thatβs something you and Tao had in common. You both sucked at Running. But you ran anyway. You were going to tell Tao he was right and he may or may not be cocky about it.
You remember all the times that Nick had βhelpedβ you. But now it made sense. He had been following you and maybe was right now.
You run straight home and text your friends immediately that it was an emergency.
And in less than ten minutes, your friend group was over. βSo you said this was an emergency, Elle said. βMhm, you reply, fidgeting with your fingers.
βWhat is it? I was freaked out, Tao said. βWell uh, Tao was right, you finally say. Everyoneβs eyes widen, then look at Tao. And like you expected, a smug look forms for a second then it turns to concern.
βWait so, heβs obsessed with you? Tao asks. βI just saw him pretty much beat Harry to death, or almost, I ran before I could see if he was dead, You admit.
βItβs over now, y/n, Elle assured you.βIβm sure maybe what you saw was a misunderstanding. Thereβs no way that Tao was right.β
You nodded. Tao scoffed from Elleβs comment but still as concerned. That thought remained in your min though.
And you wondered, did Nick know you had witnessed most of it?
You hadnβt known him to be violent. No, he was nice and caring. Far from that type but you guessed you didnβt know him that well.
You shuddered.βWaitβ¦ I think weβre being watched.β βHuh? What do you mean? Elle asks, you go to your window, looking outside.
Perhaps it was paranoia kicking in but you definitely felt like someone was there. βY/nβ¦. Iβ¦ wait, I see someone, Elle said.
βWhat? Charlie, Isaac and Tao say in unison, jumping up to your window. You could see the person too. βOh my god. You need to report this, Elle said.
βIβ¦ what if they hurt me? You say. "I mean yeah I could fight them off but still!β βNo, this is the right thing to do, Elle said.
You sigh. "I guess Iβll do it. Especially since that person is acting like Michael Myers with just standing there staring right at me.β "Your Mum and Dad are home, right? Elle said.
You nodded. Elle replies, grabbing your hand, "Come on. you should tell them. You give in."Okay. I guess." You go downstairs where your mum and dad were.
"mum, dad? you say. "yes? your mother responds. "i think someone is following me, you confess. suddenly, your mother and father look more worried.
"following you? your mother says. "we saw him, miss l/n, Elle pipes in. "We believe you, Your Father said. You sigh of relief. they both hug you. "We should report this, Your Mother suggested.
βWe shouldβ¦ but right now we should stay inside, you say shakily.βI donβt really want to go outside.β You didnβt even understand why you were so scared when you could take down the stalker if you really wanted to and were fighting for your life.
βWell then, y/n, maybe stay down here so we can supervise you for now? Your mother said. You nodded.
You hadnβt told them the complete truth. That you knew who your stalker was. It made complete sense to be nick, you just knew it.

Tickle Me Silly
pairing: Kit Connor x Non Binary!Reader
Pronouns: I/They/Them/Me
Fandom: Heartstopper
Warnings: Mentions of death
Summary: Y/n finds out that their lover Kit Connor is ticklish.
A/N: It's been months since angel-ixily has posted because her account got terminated and as soon as she got it back, she had some really bad stuff happen to her! But now she's back with this amazing request from this very patient anon! Thank you all for being patient with me! It's been a crazy few months! But expect a whole buncha more fanfics coming your way!! Enjoy
~~~~~~~~~
Kit tensed as he watched Maxβs body start to float in front of Billyβs gravesite. Lucas, Steve, and Dustin surrounding her as she began to rise into the air.
βIf Max dies, I am literally going to cry.β He said with anticipation. He was now breathing at a much faster, and more excited rate. I mean, the producers did say that this season would keep you on your feet.
βI will too. But if Steve dies, oh that will be the end of me! I swear I will lay down right here and die.β I replied. Kit quickly glanced over to me, a smile on his face.
βI love Steve too, but thatβs a bit extreme Y/N.β Kit chuckled as he threw popcorn at me. I slowly turned my head over to him, picking up one of the pieces of popcorn that he had thrown over at me.
βYou know whatβs extreme?β I asked. He raised an eyebrow.
βWhat?β
I threw the piece of popcorn back at him. βAbusing your partner.β I stated, a sly smirk on my face as Kit put his hands up to defend himself.
βOh my god! Youβre such a hypocrite!β He yelled, uncovering his face, which was red from the joyful smile that was covering his face. The sight of it made my smirk form into a smile.
βAnd how am I a hypocrite? You started it!β I giggled, sitting up so I was sitting on my legs, facing him.
βYou called me abusive for throwing popcorn at you, and then you continued to throw it back at me! That would make you abusive as well!β I shook my head in disagreement.
βOh no, no, no. You have it all wrong.β I bat my eyelashes at him as if that would be convincing enough for him not to question me. Instead, he raised a brow, the smirk that was on my face currently sitting on his.
βOh really? I have it wrong, eh?β He asked. I nodded, crossing my arms stubbornly.
βYou always do.β I agreed. He opened his mouth and an offended gasp slipped through his lips. I read his face really quick to see if it was serious, but even though he was a good actor, I could see a slight smile leaking through his expression. I decided to continue to play along, my worry slipping away.
βI always do? Now that is just preposterous! If I remember correctly, you have it wrong!β He stated. Now it was my turn to gasp. I placed a hand over my heart. I tried to hide my smile that was trying to seep through, but I failed miserably. I obviously wasnβt as good of an actor as Kit.
βMe?! You have to be insane to blame me! Iβm perfect! You on the other hand are yes, perfect! But on a lower scale of perfect! You obviously havenβt remembered correctly because youβre wrong!β I faced away from him; my head held up high as I closed my eyes stubbornly. I was expecting Kit to give in as he always does before, I apologize, we kiss, and continue redoing what we were doing, but this time was different. He stayed quiet. A quick flash of fear zoomed through my body as I got nervous that I had offended him. I went to check if he was okay, but I felt a heavy body leap onto mine, touching every funny bone I had.
βKit! No! Get off! Stop!β I managed through my delight. His fingers playing with my sides, tickling me.
βYou think Iβm the crazy one, huh? Well, whoβs laughing now? Whoβs crazy now?β He asked, a smile on his face as he continued to tickle the living hell outta me.
βStop! Stop! Iβll answer! Iβll answer! Just stop!β I laugh, repeating my words. Kit slowly stopped, his hands laying at my sides as he hovered over me.
I laid there for a moment just catching my breath. Once my lungs began to work again, I stared directly at him, trying to find a way out. βStill you.β I answered, quickly trying to escape by sliding up and away from him. Be grabbed my sides again and pulled me back to him.
βNo! Please no!β I gasped as he began tickling me again.
Kit laughed too. βWhen you tell me the right answer is when Iβll stop. Until then,β he continued to tickle me harder, βyouβre gonna be tickled to death!β
I put my hands onto his chest in an attempt to push him away, but there was no way, even if I tried to, I could push this gym buff away. My hands slid down his chest in my weakened state, and I gripped onto his stomach. He yelped, pulling away. He jumped off of the couch and landed with a thud.
Surprised, I looked at my hands, then back at him, and smirked. βOh Kit dear, I didnβt know you were ticklish.β Kit sighed.
βIβm not! Iβm not ticklish at all! Iβm just super sensitive in that spot!β He tried to use an excuse, but thatβs the exact same thing I said the first time he found out I was ticklish. I got off of the couch and sat on his legs.
βSo, if I do this,β I began to poke at the spot around his stomach. He jumped and made another yelp sound. I smiled. I sat there for a moment just staring at him before I began to attack him. My hands began tickling his stomach as he laid on the ground laughing. He tried pulling my hands away, which he normally could if he wasnβt weak right now.
βThis is called Karma, Kit!β I yelled. My hands were moving as fast as they could in an attempt to make him feel the pain that I had felt. Payback was especially needed in these times.
Kit couldnβt escape me. Even when he tried to slide up and crawl away, I grabbed onto his back and continued tickling him.
He gained his balance and stood up, but I was stubborn. Like a monkey, I gripped into his back, but I could no longer tickle him because all my strength was being used to hold on. Kit turned to look at me.
βHi.β I said shyly. He rolled his eyes playfully as he slowly heads over to the couch, where I fell back onto. He sat next to me, wrapping an arm around me.
βTruce?β He asked, placing out a pinky. I looked at him before looking at his adoring eyes.
βTruce.β I interlocked fingers, leaning in to kiss him. He gladly kissed me, smiling in between. When we pulled away, we stared at the screen continuing to play Stranger Things.
βDamn we missed a lot.β Kit commented, grabbing the remote off the coffee table so that he could rewind it.
βThatβs your fault.β I replied stubbornly, laying on his chest as I wrapped my arms around his torso.
βDonβt make me tickle you again.β He warned. I poked his stomach and he harshly breathed in.
βDonβt worry! This time Iβm preparedβ. I grinned into his chest.
βWe called a truce!β He exclaimed. I looked up to him.
βDonβt threaten me, then.β I warned back at him, a loving smile on my face. He returned that smile until he pressed play on the show.

"Why do we even have to go to this party, you know how I feel about Harry!" You groaned as Imogen dragged you into the obnoxiously large hotel Harry had rented for his sixteenth birthday party.
The pair of you were waiting in dresses which were on dancing on the border of too short and a safe length, though you didn't care, too busy focusing on the fact that the cold and typically British air was encasing your bare legs.
"Just enjoy it, Y/N. We're lucky Nick even invited us! I heard only a quarter of the party is girls from Higgs." She exclaimed in excitement, squeezing your hand a bit tighter.
"I suppose." You shrugged, wrapping your arms around yourself as you joined the back of the queue, a small shiver running through your body.
Imogen sat in silence for a few moments before she seemingly couldn't keep her lips shut any longer. "So about Nick..." She blurted out, eyes looking at you widely in excitement.
"No." You cut her off, but the blush and smile on your cheeks and face gave away the fact that you couldn't be more infatuated with a boy if you tried.
Nick Nelson, where could you even start. The fact that he was an amazing person with a great personality meant a lot to begin with, but the fact that he remained such a good person while surrounded by so many not so good people made him stand out. Not to mention the fact that he looked like a literal god.
Every morning you and Imogen would stand by the Truham gates before leaving for Higgs and for those twenty five minutes, you admired him. The way the sun hit his hair and made it look sort of golden. Or the way his eyes resemble honey at a certain angle. Sure, it's all a bit clichΓ© but you couldn't help it. He was perfect.
"Oh my god!" She squealed, jumping up and down. "You do like him, I knew it!" She added while you stood there hoping no one around you could hear.
"Don't get your hopes up Imogen, I'm quite confident he doesn't like me back." You smiled, though it was a sad one. Almost pitiful. Imogen frowned at you, perplexed.
"Why wouldn't he like you?" She asked.
"I just, I don't know. I don't exactly think I'm anyone's type. I'm awkward and hard to talk to according to Ben." You chuckled, avoiding her eyes as you saw them fill with sympathy.
"Ben's a complete and utter dick! I thought we knew this." She replied, hand once again grabbing your own. "Plus, Nick will be here tonight, flirt with him and test the waters." She added, eyebrows moving up and down with a smirk.
You didn't think you knew how to flirt, not really. Never tried and never thought you would. All the boys you knew were knobs, except Nick, he was different. But all the other girls would think the same and go for him too.
"Flirt? Have you ever met me?" You almost laughed. There was no chance you could flirt.
"Y/N. I know you might not feel it right this second, but you're one of the most beautiful girls I know and I couldn't be more serious when I say, if Nick doesn't see that it's a him problem, not a you one." She said, squeezing your hand once more before letting go in order to enter the party.
Coming from a girl like Imogen, that meant the world.
"Let's dance!" Imogen yelled as soon as you walked through the door. There was at least eight hundred kids in the hotel, seven hundred and thirty nine of which you could confidently say you don't know. It was incredibly daunting.
The lights were bright and neon strobes which quite literally filled the whole room. Flashes of the whole rainbow, it was amazing. "I hate to say it but Harry actually pulled it off." You said, voice in disbelief.
"More like the planners his parents hired but yeah, it's good." She chuckled, pulling you over to the drinks table which was mostly covered with cans of coke and J20 but there were a few alcoholic drinks, probably snuck in.
"This should get you in the mood for dancing." She winked, handing over a cup of coke mixed with quite literally, a splash of vodka, not enough to do anything but Imogen was cute in thinking it would help.
"Thanks." You replied, taking a sip before moving over to the dance floor with her. You saw a few faces you recognised thankfully. Tara and Darcy, the cutest couple. Sai, Otis and Christian who always seemed to be together. And lastly, Nick.
He was stood by himself tucked away in a dark corner. He didn't look too happy, eyes darting around the room for anyone to talk to, though he looked disappointing as everyone was enthralled in their own conversations.
You sympathised, often feeling that way when Imogen left you to flirt with a boy at a party, though she didn't do it often.
You were knocked out of your zone when Imogen grabbed your wrists, beginning to jump up and down, a big smile adorning her face as music blasted from the speakers. "This is my favourite song!" She squealed and you laughed, finally loosening up into dancing with the girl.
She spun you around as you spun her, never once noticing the eyes on you from across the room.
Nick.
He always knew you were special. Always felt that you looked at him as though he were the world, saw through his façade of the happy 'lads lad' that plays rugby and doesn't really know if Shakespeare was real or a character.
He wasn't like that, and you knew it.
His eyes softened as he watched you and Imogen jump around each other, feeling glad the two of you were friends so you always had someone to bring you out of your shell. He needed that, he thought.
You and him had never directly spoken which was weird seeing as he had invited not only Imogen but you as well to the party when asked. Maybe now was the time? He thought. Why did he even care?
Nicks eyes widened as he had a realisation. Did he like you? Not just like you in the way Harry Greene likes football but like you in the way Romeo likes Juliet.
He did. He definitely did.
He slowly felt all the small moments from the past couple of weeks add up to him. The blush on his cheeks when you and Imogen would arrive in the morning. The smile on his face whenever you were brough up in conversation. Or the incessant need to like an Instagram post if you were in it. It all made sense now.
He didn't know what was powering him but his feet began to move. Walking over sticky spilt drinks and tissues but never the less towards you.
The closer he got the more he admired the way you danced without a care in the world, hair flipping around, drink spilling over the edges but it all looked so perfect on you.
Just as he reached you the light shone down so perfectly, you in red and him in blue, it was purple. A purple spotlight as though your souls were already intertwined.
"Hi." He spoke breathlessly, nerves clear as day.
"Hi." You replied, the world going quiet behind you.
Nick Nelson was the one and it had never been so clear.

Jealousy with Nick and Charlieβ¨
Pairing: Nick Nelson x m!reader x Charlie Spring.
Triggers: poly relationship, jealousy, mentions of a hickey.
Note: I donβt write jealousy very well. My apologiesπ
Request.
Jealousy with Nick and Charlieβ¨
Although theyβre the sweetest boys in the entire world, they get jealous as hell!!
Charlieβs jealousy comes from his insecurities about not being good enough for you and Nick. While Nick is just jealous at someone who even dares throw you or Charlie a suggestive look/touch. You both are his boyfriends!!.
Nick is the type of jealous that gets really quiet and pretend that itβs all fine, until heβs pushed too far. Where as Charlie, is a full on βstop or dieβ type of jealousy.
The jealousy is bad especially since youβre not out as poly to anyone (expect your friends) and everyone assumes your single.
Nick and Charlie didnβt even realise how many people would flirt//try to get with you. The two are often asked if youβre single.
βNo.β Charlie growled back at the random Year 11, who had came up to him and nick and asked if you were single. While Nick stood with his arms crossed, giving the Year 11 a death glare.
Another example would be at lunch.
The three of you sat in the art room, laughing and joking around (even sneaking a kiss or two) when a knock came on the door. All three of you jumped back to look and see it was a Year 10 named Adam, smiling, and asking if he could speak to you in private.
You all shared confused looks before you followed the year 10 out.
Nick and Charlie were leaning against the door, trying to listen to the whispered conversation between you and Adam.
They quickly run back to their spots when they noticed you coming back.
Charlie fell over a table in the process.
When you come back in, you sat back in your spot and continued eating, while they stared at you.
βWhat?β
βWhat did he want?β Nick asked, trying to keep his tone of voice cool and calm.
βHe asked me to go on a date, to see that new horror movie tomorrow night.β
βAnd you said?β
βI said yes.β
Charlie and Nick looked at eachother in shock. Charlie could feel his body starting to shake while Nicks entire face went red. It wasnβt until you started laughing that they realised you had been joking.
βY/N! Donβt do that.β Charlie laughed as he tackled you back onto the table and began tickling you for making them nervous. Nick breathed a sigh of relief out before joining in with Charlie to punish you for making them worry.
From then on, the two were a little more affectionate in person. Charlie held your hand more. Nick played with your hair. The two were all over you, especially when they noticed someone staring at you.
One time Nick even squeezed your butt at your locker and another time Charlie βaccidentallyβ left a hickey on your neck after rugby practice.
And thatβs when rumours of your relationship spread throughout the school.
Nick and Charlie couldnβt of been happier, finally letting everyone know you were their boyfriend.

Long Hair HCβs
Poly!Nick&Charlie x Male!Reader
Plot: How they react to their boyfriend having longer hair.
Warnings: Non.
They always are so impressed at how lovely your hair looks at all times and canβt wait to play with it.
Nick really likes to give you silly hairstyles if you let him and Charlie loves to do the same, but tries to give you nice styles.
Expect οΏΌthem to always have their hands in your hair, or playing with it/Touching it somehow. No matter the hair type they need to touch it.
I think when you put it up they stare with drooling eyes like your in a movie scene. Please do it more.
Or if you ever shake your hair because of the sweat or water, they will stop working.
They blush a lot because of this so you tease the hell out of them, just like Nick does with his French.
Then you decide to pull a prank on them one day and it goes just like you wanted.
βI think Iβm going to cut my hair.β You say out of the blue.
Nick and Charlie jump on you and refuse to except οΏΌthe loss of your amazing hair. Calling you crazy. Of course they over reacted.
You sit on their laps a lot so they can play with your hair which is always comforting to them.
If you can put it up in a bunβ¦They are attacking you with kisses and touching because they find it so attractive.
If you have a different hair type then both of them, then they stay up all night and watch videos on how to do your hair right. Like what what products to us on you, or how to braid and hair brushes. And you know they will always love it if you show them how to.
Please donβt make fun of them the first time they tryπ

tired of it
pairing : kit connor x gn!reader
summary : kit is tired of everyone thinking that you're dating his co-star, sebastian croft
word count : 1'422
warnings : swear words
(gif not mine)
You fixed your hair in the mirror one last time before stepping out of the trailer. You turned to Kit, raising your eyebrows at him.
"How do I look ?" you asked, smiling exaggeratedly at him. He chuckled, smoothing down his sweater.
"Beautiful, as always," He stepped forward and gently cupped your cheek. You playfully rolled your eyes.
"Love, you always say that," you groaned.
"Yeah, 'cause it's always true, innit ?" He leaned forward, brushing his lips against yours. You smiled and pushed your lips harder against his, kissing him softly. His hand came up to rest on your ribcage as he tilted his head to the side. You slid your tongue into his mouth, pressing your chest against his. A little breath escaped him as his grip on you tightened.
You were interrupted by a knock on the trailer door. "Oi, Y/N, Kit, you're on in two minutes !" your manager, Abigail, yelled. You sighed, and rested your forehead on Kit's shoulder. You licked your lips, tasting him on them. "The world awaits," you mumbled.
"The world awaits," Kit repeated, grinning. "C'mon, let's go before she has your head." He took your hand and pulled you out of the trailer. You started walking towards the room where your and Kit would be doing an interview.
When you arrived before the building, you reluctantly let go of Kit's hand. Only your co-stars, the directors and your managers knew you were dating. And you wanted to keep it that way for now. You weren't ashamed of being with each other or anything of the sort, but you both preferred to keep your private lives... well, private. And that meant not telling the entire planet you were dating.
"Ah, Y/N, Kit, welcome," the interviewer stood up from where he had been sitting. His hair was greying and he was wearing a ridiculous blue scarf. He greeted them with a smile : "I'm Teddy. Pleasure to meet you," He extended his hand and you both shook it.
"Nice to meet you," you smiled.
"Pleasure," Kit spoke. You greeted the other people in the room before you sat down on two red chairs.
"So, what can you tell us about your upcoming show : Heartstopper ?" he asked.
"Well, obviously we can't tell you much before it's released but it's pretty amazing. It covers a bunch of important themes like sexuality, bullying, friendships and school," you spoke with a smile. Kit nodded.
"It's amazingly inclusive as well. I think it's one the few shows that has so much diversity, which makes it relatable to lots of people," the redhead added. Teddy nodded and looked down at his cards.
"And how do you like the cast ? Do you all get along well ?" he questioned. Kit nodded.
"Oh yeah, we all get along great. We're all around the same age, which helps, I think. We're always joking around. It's really great."
"Yeah," you continued, "I think we all found a big group of supportive friends here and it's really nice."
"So there aren't any tensions ?" Teddy asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Uh, no, not really, no. I mean, sometimes someone will be in a bad mood, but that's never really a problem," you shrugged. Kit nodded, licking his lips, drawing your lips to them. Wow, you wanted to kiss him. "Yeah, I think we're all old and mature enough to not do anything that could start shit," You softly hit his arm.
"Kit !" you gasped, "You can't say swear words during interviews !" you chided, chuckling. He widened his eyes, scoffing.
"You're telling me that !" He turned to Teddy : "I swear to God, half of the words that come out of their mouth are swear words !"
You sat up straighter in your seat. "They are not !" you gasp. Kit laughed. "They are !"
You crossed your arms over your chest. "Whatever, I'm not talking to you any more," you pout. Kit playfully rolled his eyes and wrapped his arm around your shoulders. "You know I'm only bantering, love," he looked down at you with those eyes. You looked up at him, feeling a sudden urge to kiss him. Hard. But you remembered the cameras and the interviewer in the room. "Whatever," you smiled.
The interviewer asked a few more questions about the show before passing onto more personal questions.
"And Y/N, some rumours have been going around that you're dating your co-star Sebastian Croft. Can you confirm this ?" he asked, leaning forward in his seat. You winced and felt Kit tense up next to you. You wanted to reach out to him. But you couldn't.
"Uh," you paused for a second, thinking of what to say, "I think we all like to keep our lives pretty private around here, so I'm not going to answer that question," you replied, your smile almost gone.
"Are you sure ? Because you guys have been looking pretty cosy in some pictures and clips going around. Maybe -"
"I don't think anyone can or should assume anything based on a few pictures or videos. And as I said before, I won't be answering any questions about my personal life." Your smile was definitely gone now. Teddy seemed to sense he had stepped into unsafe territory and smiled apologetically.
"Right, I'm sorry. Let's move on to the next question, shall we ?"
You stepped out of the building after saying goodbye to Teddy and his team. You let out a breath when you reached Kit's trailer. He had been silent the entire way back. He opened the door and waited for you to step inside before following. He threw himself on the couch, letting out a big sigh.
"What's up ?" you asked, removing your shoes.
"Nothing," he mumbled, looking at you as you trudged over to him.
"Love, you didn't say shit during the way back. You didn't even make fun of Teddy's scarf !" He chuckled. "I'm going to ask you again, what's wrong ?" you set your knees on each side of his hips and sat down, straddling his upper thighs.
He sat up a bit straighter. "It's just-" He licked his lips and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm tired of everyone thinking you're dating fucking Sebastian ! I mean, it's not his fault or yours, but it's getting really hard to keep my cool when every bloody interviewer asks my partner if theyβre fucking one of my mate, y'know ?"
You worried your bottom lip, eyebrows furrowing. "I'm sorry, love," You placed a comforting hand on his chest.
"No, angel, you've got nothing to be sorry about, I'm just not handling it well." He sucked the inside of his cheek. You chuckled.
"Are you kidding ? You're handling it better than I ever could. If anyone asked you more than once if you're dating, I dunno, Yasmin, for example, I would fucking loose it," you admitted.
"You serious ?" he asked, grinning, resting his hands on your thighs.
"Yeah, I mean, I'm not proud it and I'm trying to work on it, but I'm- I'm a bit possessive, you know ?"
Kit laughed, his hand trailing up your ribcage.
"And here I was, worried that I was overreacting when you would've done the same !" he grinned.
"I'd probably have done worse, to be honest," you mumbled, cheeks turning pink.
"Oh yeah ? What would you have done ?" he asked amusedly, clearly invested.
"I dunno, if you were okay with it, probably made sure the paparazzi caught us kissing about eighteen times in eighteen different places. Or maybe caught getting nasty in a jacuzzi or the back of your car, I don't know..."
"Y/N !" he gasped, eyes twinkling with laughter.
"You asked !" you defended yourself, covering your face with your hands. Kit gently took your hands off your face and pulled you forward until you were lying on top of him, head resting on his chest.
He kissed your forehead. "I love you," he whispered.
"I love you too," you kissed his lips. "Next time anyone asks me, I'll tell them to fuck off, yeah ?"
"Yeah,"
"Or we could always go public, you know ?" you offered quietly.
"For real ?" he asked, looking down at you with wide eyes.
"Yeah, I mean, what could go wrong, right ?"

Nick Nelson would be the best big brother on motherfrigginearth (and this is also something Iβm ready to fight about π€π€)
He has never, EVER been ashamed of you. As siblings, you never went through that weird and mean phase of disliking and annoying the shit out of each other. You always headed to school together, joking around as you did. He always waved enthusiastically when he saw you at the gates of Truham waiting for him, and he loves to bump your shoulder or ruffle your hair before you head to Higgs.
You always make it a priority to spend quality time together. Going on little hiking adventures with Nellie and whatnot. You also love to help him practice for his rugby matches. It most likely (always) ends up in a wrestling match and even though it seems your brother is getting bigger as days go by, you still have enough skills to give him a hard time. Of course, it goes without saying that you go to all of his games. Never afraid to be the one to shout the loudest. You also really like to have little sleepovers/movie nights together. You bundle on the couch with Nellie and a ton of blankets and bicker for approximately 10 minutes on which film you should watch before you come to an agreement. Your mother often joins you and you spend the evening, just the three of you, all cuddled up. Those usually are your favorites.
When youβre upset, heβs always the one who knows how to handle it best. Either by lending a safe ear so you could share your problems or by helping you find the best solutions. Either way, he's always incredibly gentle and caring. You know how lucky you are to have a brother like him. Especially when you look at your oldest brother, David (ugh).
Heβs also incredibly protective of you. When you come back home crying he cradles you in his arms, gently stroking your hair, and deeply sighing before he asks: "Alright, who do I have to kill?". That usually makes you smile and giggle a bit, thatβs when he asks if you'd like to get something to eat and talk about it. But on days when that phrase doesn't make you laugh, he knows it's serious and the overprotective big brother in him takes the stage. He'd spend the night making sure you're okay and feeling safe and comforted. On the next day, when he actually sees the person who's been giving you such a hard time, heβd make sure they know he does not like them at all and will not hesitate to act if needed.
But most importantly he's your biggest fan and you are his. So when he finally told you that Charlie was his boyfriend⦠it was one of the happiest moments of your life.
He had knocked on your door twice before you told him to come in. He opened the door, and as soon as your eyes met you knew something was up. He kept looking at the ground, his gaze darting from the posters on your wall to your mirror, your bookcase, everywhere, but your face.
"Hey, what's up?" you asked, putting down your book to focus on him.
"Hey, kiddo. Am I botherin' you?"
You shake your head no and gently tap a spot on your bed while you shuffle to the side to give him some space. He gives you a small smile before sitting down, your old bed creaking audibly loud as he does so.
"Alright, uhm, so. There's something I'd like to talk to you about."
You normally would have slipped in a joke or two, but his expression was just so serious. You noticed his voice had a slight tremor in it. You kept to yourself, focusing entirely on him.
"Sure, what's going on?"
He brought his knees up to loosely wrap his arms around them before starting.
"Well, you know there are quite a few things that have changed for me this year. With school, Harry, Imogen, and uh⦠meeting Charlie of course." You nod, encouraging him to continue. "It hasn't always been easy. All this change has made me question a lot of stuff, and even discover new things about me."
"Yes, but there has been good stuff, right? Meeting Charlie has basically been amazing for you. You've stopped hanging out with those asshats so much, and you got to meet his amazing friend group right?" you reach for his arm. He looks so nervous, you feel completely thrown off. Nick is known to be pretty confident and chill. You just want him to feel better, and be back to his usual happy self.
At the mention of his friends, he does seem to loosen up a bit and smile before looking at you.
"Yeah, you're right. This has been amazing for me and, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Uhm, I guess you could say things have changed between Charlie and I. We uhβ¦"
"Oh Nick what did you do?" you straightened up immediately. This made sense, he probably had a falling out with him and was now feeling completely down and sad about it. "Charlie is soo cool. I swear if you've done anything to mess that up I'll whoop your ass."
"Hey! Why would you assume I've done anything??" he questioned, the hint of a smile playing on his lips.
"Because Charlie is way too caring and amazing to do anything wrong." You crossed your arms on your chest before resting on your headboard. The look of disapproval on your face only seemed to make your brother's smile grow larger.
"He is pretty amazing isn't he?"
"He definitely is. I love Charlie," you grunted. "All right now, spit it out. What did you do, if it's not too horrible, Iβm sure we can find a way to fix it."
He turned a bit more so that you would be facing each other.
"Y/n, we didn't have a falling out. We⦠Charlie is my boyfriend.
Time stood still for a second, the weight of his declaration still hanging in the air.
"Charlie is your what."
"He's myβ¦ boyfriend?" he said once more, panic slowly invading his chest like an unbearable weight. Dread overtook him. Dread and something else, the feeling of his heart skipping a beat. You, his person, really? You wouldnβt be okay with that?
You stayed paralyzed, in shock. Your mouth slightly open. He was about to finally break the silence when you jumped on him, squealing like a crazy person.
"NICOLAS NELSON, I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU." He hugged you back with all his might, feeling so incredibly relieved. Relieved to have told you, but more than anything else, relieved that you were still you. His person, the only person in the world he knew would always accept and love him unconditionally. "I want to know EVERYTHING. Oh my god, I can't wait to see Charlie!!!! You little rats!!!β
He gave you that big old smirk of his, he seemed on top of the world, and that warmed your heart.
"So you're happy for me?" he asked carefully, a faint shadow of uncertainty still dancing in his eyes.
You grabbed his face into your hands βYou deserve this so much Nick. You don't even understand how happy I am for you.β
And then you hugged again, both squealing like idiots before you invited Charlie over for an impromptu sleepover where you spent most of the night hearing every detail about how they came to be a couple. Everytime Nick would see you interact with Charlie his heart would skip a beat or feel like it might explode. This time, because it couldnβt seem to contain all the happiness he was feeling. That's when Charlie and you were suddenly tackled to the ground by Nick's heavy body.
"Oh my god, Nick you're crushing us!!!" screamed Charlie, laughing as he did. To what your brother simply answered, "Oh shut up and just let me hug my two favorite people in the world in peace."
YOU CANβT TELL ME YOU DONβT SEE IT !!! C'MON !!!!
