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.

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: Iโm alive!
Char: you live! i live too :) wanna walk together today or are you both busy? (gonna pick you up bestie)

Char: awesome!!! nick?

Y/N: omgโฆ such a drama king like okay
You write and yet, youโre 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. โHeya, Elle!โ
She smiles warmly and waves goodbye to her friends before stepping in sync with you. โHey there, Miss, didnโt catch your name.โ You bump her shoulder and she bumps you back. โWhatโre you up to?โ
โCharlieโs gonna come pick me up, hopefully via bikeโฆ mines broke the other day.โ You sigh and she gives you a look of pity while trying to bite back a grin. Then she perks up.
โNot Nick?โ
You shake your head, rubbing a hand against your temple. โMm-mm, you ever just get a feeling something is off?โ
Elle nods, turning her face away from you and her hands grip onto the handle of her bag that bounces against her legs. โYeah, just putting it out thereโฆ graduation may be on his mind, I know its on mine and itโs been kicking my ass to be honest,โ You wrap an arm around her in comfort and she hums in appreciation. โJust all that weird stuff, weird thoughts and anxietyโฆโ Then she pauses, raising a hand and flicking her wrist. โOkay- not weird, but you know.โ
That makes you snort, โYeah, I getโchaโฆ maybe, but weโve always been open about that kind of stuff, I just donโt understand why itโd be a issueโฆ I mean, weโve talked about it many times before so itโs kind of odd, I guess?โ You and Elle share a look of confusion before shrugging.
โMaybe itโs been having more of an impact yโknow? You can speak easily about something when youโre not there yet butโฆ graduation is coming up and everyone is worried about the future. You know how things donโt hit you till itโs happening literally next week or something? Maybe its hitting harder.โ
Your heart clenches in pain at those words. Sheโs not wrong, there is a high chance itโs staring to affect him moreโฆ hitting harder than youโd know. You nibble on your bottom lip in concern and furrow your eyebrows,
โWell. If heโs being an idiot and isnโt gonna come to us about it then Iโll beat him up.โ You place your hands on your hips, lightly joking to disperse the tense air between the two of you. Of course he isnโt being an idiot but you refuse to let him stress on his own. Elle chokes out a laugh in surprise.
โOh god, he better run, sheโs scary when sheโs angry.โ One of her hands let go of her bag and she hold her stomach while laughing a bit more. โWouldnโt that be a sight?โ
You scoff, โLike we havenโt argued before.โ
โYou argue about literal video games.โ
โStop.โ You laugh and push at her shoulder. โOh, and Elle, you know Iโm 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.โ She stares at you for a few beats before cracking into a grin.
โThank you, Y/N. You know you got me too.โ
Outside the school building youโre quick to spot two familiar figures by the gate. โYes, heโs here!โ Your arms raise in celebration then instantly flop down, โThereโs no bikeโฆ!โ
Elle calls out which makes the two boys stiff in seconds.
โGet your butts over here, Mr. Xu and Mr. Spring!โ They awkwardly crane their necks to your direction and simultaneously sigh in relief โ probably thinking you were teachers.
โYou nearly gave me a heart attack!โ Tao exclaims as you and Elle once youโre right infront of the two, gesturing to his heart. Elle is quick to place a hand over his chest โ Taoโs cheeks lowkey reddening but you decide not to point it out for his sake โ and her eyes widen a bit.
โTao, your chest is gonna shoot out your chest.โ
โSee?โ
โThat is the goal, sire.โ You finger gun at him and he smacks your hand away lightly with an exasperated look. It makes you giggle. โElle is just feeling a little silly today.โ
โItโs my agenda.โ She grins before engulfing Charlie into a hug and he squeaks in surprise before squeezing her back. โHello, Charlie!โ
โAre you sure your heart isnโt pounding because youโve gotten your daily dose of Elle?โ 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 heโs gonna fight you. His cheeks bloom a rosy rose so you take the win either way and smugly smirk at him.
โHi, Elle!โ 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.
โWe best be off on our merry way,โ You speak up, checking the time as the two friends let go of eachother. โI wanna stop by that new shop that opened a few weeks agoโฆ Is that fine, Char?โ
He gives you a thumbs up and Elle speaks, โLet me know how their desserts taste, Iโve been wondering but honestly they donโt look that good soโฆโ She stares at you with a grimace before shrugging.
โNoted~โ You say in a singsong voice before wrapping your arms around Charlie. โIโll call you later, enjoy your afternoon date.โ 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.
โShut up.โ He groans, snapping but tone very much unthreatening adding on the fact heโs trying to cover his flustered face with his free hand.
โYes, yes grumpy old man, weโll see you later.โ You and Charlie waist no time to start down the road with waves.
โBye!โ He shouts.
โIโm not a grumpy old man!โ Tao stomps his foot, comedically. Right. How could you make that mistake?
โBye, Y/N and Charlie!โ 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 Taoโs scowl instantly softens into a lovestruck gaze.
โAhhh, young love.โ
โYouโre starting to sound like the old one here.โ Charlie snickers, hands coming up to hold onto your forearms that are still bounded around him.
โYou wound me, Char.โ You squeeze him and he huffs. โI literally think the same when you and Nick are interacting, itโs so,โ You make weird noises, fingers wiggling. โYโknow? Very sweet. Very cute, I even have some photos of you latching onto eachother while sleeping. Wanna see-?โ
His brain feels like itโs shutting down, lightly smacking your arm when you lift it as to grab your phone. โStop it.โ 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. โUghh, whatever. You act like you donโt jump Nick the minute you see him.โ Yeah, thatโs crazy. You feel your own cheeks flaring up.
โYou must be blind.โ
โNo, no, no. Donโt do that.โ
โDo what?โ
โLie!โ 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 youโre dancing. Charlie definitely notices this misstep, doesnโt say anything but you see his shoulders shaking in silence. Heโs laughing.
โI never lie?โ You pick off the conversation.
โWas that a question?โ He tilts his head back at you.
โNo?โ
He stares at you, eyebrow twitching and you puff out your cheeks like a frog, looking anywhere but in his direction. โYouโre awfully cheeky today.โ
โHow am I being cheeky?โ He gives you a look like youโre being ridiculous.
โCharlie Spring is a little cheeky today, my oh my, what have I done to deserve this.โ Then you raise your voice in a slight yell, โAhhh! Who is this?! This isnโt my Charlieeeeโฆ!โ Your arms reach for the sky.
โYouโre an idiot.โ 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 havenโt seen your boyfriend in a couple of days and itโs concerning. He responds hours late to your messages, doesnโt even respond in your group chat with Charlie, his calls barely last ten minutes and you literally havenโt seen this man in person. Charlie tells you he still shows up at school but his eye-bags are pretty bad.
โIs he avoiding me? Iโm confused.โ You frown, balled up on Charlieโs 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.
โNoโฆ I donโt think so. I see him at school and he tries to act normal but even he doesnโt respond to me like that outside of school.โ The scowl his face makes has deepened and youโre quick to wrap an arm around his leg in comfort. He lets out a weak smile but itโs quick to fall off his face. โIโm confused tooโฆโ
You both stay silent, itโs nearly deafening. โI donโt wanna force him to tell us anything โ I mean, he knows he can come to us if he needs it but if heโs 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?โ Charlie listens to you mumble while tugging at a loose thread on his sweater and nods slowly, eyes lost in thought.
โShould we go somewhere?โ He tilts his head back to look at the ceiling before his gaze travels around his roomโs walls, hoping to find an inkling of inspection.
โThat sounds fine.โ 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. โWe could go out, do something and eatโฆ I kinda wanna stargaze, is that weird?โ
He lets out a chuckle, glancing down at you with a teasing glint in his eyes, โWow, youโre such a romantic, Y/N. Iโm shocked.โ To which you scoff.
โWell, duh. Who makes all the date plans?โ
โOkay, no, thatโs because you say weโre bad at planning dates โ you refuse us to even be involved.โ
โCharlie, Nick brought you to a dog park as a date.โ
โWhatโs wrong with that?โ
โYou both stayed there till nine.โ
He full on laughs now, bumping you with his knee and you smack it back in retort. โNo judgement though, I would do the same but that was for the whole day! Who stays at a dog park from Eleven to Nine?โ He continues to laugh until they turn into giggles.
โMaybeโฆ weโre unique.โ
โTrue that. You didnโt even bring baby Nells, shaking my head.โ To put emphasis, you shake your head and your friend has to gasp out for air. โDonโt die, now.โ
โWhatever whatever.โ 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. โDo you want your drink?โ
You remove your arm from his leg and sit up properly, holding on your hands and he complies, placing the mug between them. โThank you~โ You lean on the wall, flopping your legs onto Charlieโs before crossing them at the ankles โ to which he sighs in annoyance and it makes you grin. โWhatโre you doing?โ
โIโm gonna search for places to go that is nearby but not too closeโฆ you have a place in mind for stargazing?โ 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.
โYeah, itโs near my house.โ
He flicks his eyes towards you for a second.
Then goes back to typing on his phone.
โYou mean it is your home.โ
โMaybe.โ
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, thatโs what happens, you fill Charlieโs 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 Nickโs 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 Elleโs). โLately heโs been talking about colleges, rightโฆ heโs planning to go on a trip sometime this month to check them out but he seems stressed, itโs been worrying me. You know though, kids probably donโt want their parents all in their business, haha,โ She laughs softly and you can hear running water cut off on her end โ probably washing something โ โHe knows he can come to me so Iโm just letting him have his space. Itโs lovely you and Charlie want to ease his mind! Glad heโs with and friends with two sweethearts,โ This makes your face flare up in embarrassment but your chest puffs with pride.
โOf course, and I know he appreciates you being patient and understanding with him. The thing we donโt wanna do is pressure himโฆ I just hope this can help take his mind off of the stress and you knowโฆ relax?โ You grimace a bit, tugging at the end of your sleeve as the phone sits between your ear and shoulder.
โI get it, mhm. Thank you, Y/N.โ 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.
โAlright, Nick Nelson, prepare yourself for the best date youโll ever be on.โ You puff out your cheeks, grab you phone of the charger and exit your room. โIโll be off, Mother~โ You hum once you reach the end of the staircase and spot your Mom on the couch with a paper in hand.
โWhat is with the formal address?โ She chuckles behind her hand, standing up and following you towards the front door. โIโll see you later tonight with Nick and Charlie, right? Enjoy yourselves.โ She smiles, wrapping her arms around your head and you hug her back with a gentle squeeze.
โOh! Wait.โ
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.
โOkay, here you go.โ Youโre standing with the door open by the time she comes back and she gives you a picnic basket. Itโs not super big but you have to grab it with two hands. Less from the size, more from the weight.
โMom. What did you pack in here?โ You huff out a laugh, going to open the lid but she stops you.
โNo, do not open it. Itโs likeโฆ a wedding. You canโt see your spouse or itโll be bad luck!โ 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. โJust trust me, Iโve done it before and it was bad luck all day.โ
โMhm, mhm, right.โ 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. โThanks, I love you.โ
โLove you too, honey.โ She full on grins now and waves. After your โsee you laterโ promises, youโre quick to dart down the street and across the roads to a nearby park where Charlie said heโd 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 โ maybe your Mom was right โ 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 parkโs path, pushing a white squared cart decorated with photos of different types of cold treats.
You take your bag and phone, dialing Charlieโs number while speedwalking across the grassy field. It takes two rings before you hear his voice.
โYes, partner in crime?โ His voice comes off as staticky for a moment.
โWhat the hell are you doinโ, your mic is scuffed as hellโฆโ
โIโm walking!โ You could imagine the eyeroll Charlie would do and bite your cheek to not laugh.
โAre you with Nick?โ 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.
โYes. Weโre grabbing drinks right now, you okay?โ
โYeah! Iโm at the park, set up the picnic โ though the food is still in the basket,โ You glance back at your spot and after making sure nothing seems out of the ordinary you look back at the cart. โYou remember those ice cream cart things? You want something?โ
Itโs 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.
โDo they-โ He cuts himself off with a chuckle and you perk up at his voice, โDo they um,โ He snorts this time then sighs to calm himself, โThe ones with the bubblegum eyes. I wanna try one.โ
You laugh a little, thanking the ice cream man as he sets the packaged treat in your hand. โDo you want the sonic one or something?โ
โWhatever you spot first or whichever is given. Oh wait- Nick-โ You zone out a bit as he speaks to the blond and point to the blue hedgehog. The ice cream man continues his search. โHe said he wants the crybaby ice cream.โ
โOh god.โ You sigh in adoration, tilting your head back to the clear blue sky. โWerenโt they, like, terrible the last time we tried them?โ
This time you hear Nickโs cheerful voice and he scoffs, โOkay, no. That was because for some weird reason you and Darcy wanted to put warheads into the mix.โ
โThank you,โ 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. โAh yes, I remember the part where your face went sooo red. Hilarious, I have videos I think.โ
He groans in prospect and you hear muffled giggles erupt from Charlie. โWhy do you do this to me?โ
โWhat are you talking about?โ You tease and he groans again.
Charlie then speaks up, sounding way closer to the phone. โAlright! Weโll see you in two-point-five seconds.โ 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 doesnโt 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 fromโฆ 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 drinkโฆ and one of Nickโs. The blondโs other hand is carrying headbands of some sort and a bag is hanging off his arm.
โChar told me to get these while we were in the grocery store.โ Nick speaks first when they get to you, he lifts the hand with headbands. โI decided not to question it.โ You raise your hands and he carefully sets the accessories in them. Ah. Barbie headbands.
โCharlieโฆโ Your brows pinch in amusement but also bewilderment. โWhat have you decided?โ
He chuckles mysteriously, lifting a foot off the ground to point at your hand. โPut those down and take your drink, please. My hands are freezing.โ
โOops.โ 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. โThank you.โ
The boys nod and you glance at Nick, noticing the shadows of bags under his eyes. It makes you frown for a second, โSo, what am I doing here on this lovely day.โ 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. โCan we not want to hang out with the one and only, Mr. Nick Nelson?โ You speak with a teasing tone, leaning into his side. His smile goes wider and he opens his eyes to meet yours.
โYou make me sound like some big shot.โ
Your eyes narrow.
โWell it was hard to reach youโฆ soโฆโ His gaze falters along with his smile, nervously tapping the top of his cup. โNot to pressure you, you know that but Charlie and I will always be there to listen if you need it.โ You poke his arm gently and you spot Charlieโs hand sliding into Nickโs.
โYeah.โ Charlie nods, squeezing their hands, โBut if not, thatโs fine too. Y/N and I wanted to just, relax with you. Spend some time together.โ
That makes Nick let out a shaky laugh and a wobbly smile. โThanks.โ He pauses. โReally. Itโs just been, crazy?โ 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 โ which makes you all share a laugh.
Charlie rests against his boyfriendโs chest โ facing his direction and you flip onto your stomach to play with both of their soft locks. โWhat has?โ You ask softly.
Heโs silent for a bit, tapping his fingers on your back with his free hand. โIโm not sure, school? Life? โฆMe? Thereโs no exact reason, everything just seems to be crashing down in my brain and itโs annoying to say the least.โ He sighs heavily, โIโm probably just having that kind of month where everything is just feels like alot.โ He frowns and you move the hand in his hair down under his chin, gently squeezing his cheeks and he chuckles.
โThatโs perfectly fine, it happens.โ You move the hand to trail up the left side of his face and place your palm over his forehead like youโre checking his temperature and it makes Charlie join in, prodding at Nickโs neck gently.
โThereโs a lot going through your life right now, perfectly understandable why it feels overwhelming and such. Thank you for talking to us about it.โ Charlie speaks softly.
โOf course. I donโt,โ Nick pauses, opening his eyes with a flash of worry, โI donโt want it to feel like Iโm shutting you both out or anything, or if it feels like youโve done something wrong. I feel less weird thinking Iโm overreacting, hahaโฆโ The laugh comes off flat but from the reassuring smiles from his lovers, he feels at ease.
โYouโre not.โ
โNuh-uh.โ You and Charlie speak simultaneously, denying such thoughts. It makes Nick laugh which sounds less forceful.
โI donโt think Iโll be able to talk about everything right now since I donโt even think Iโm doneโฆ accessing everything but really, thank you. You both are my anchors.โ If you didnโt tear up from that, your heart definitely did. Charlie gets up off Nick, letting go of the blondโs hand and tilts his head back with his hands over his face.
โSame, Charlie.โ You cover your own face and lay flat against the blanket.
โIโฆโ Nick trails off with another laugh and he sits back up which catches both of your attention. โCan we eat though, Iโm getting a little hungry.โ He gives a shy smile and you also sit up.
โOh shit, what if the ice cream melted?!โ This realization has the three of you shooting towards the basket, grabbing the packaged delights and simultaneously sigh in relief. Theyโre not meltedโฆ yet.
โShould we just eat these first and then eat the actual lunch next?โ 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. โI wanted this lime popsicle they usually sell but there were none.โ You sigh before eyeing Nickโs container of airhead ice cream. He opens the top and it reveals the swirls ofโฆ red? Or pink and green.
โThatโs funny, we saw those while we were at the store. There were these coconut flavors too.โ Nick reminisces, plucking the taped but wrapped in itโs own plastic wooden spoon off the side of the ice cream container.
Charlie hums before looking down at the bitten into Sonic, โWhy does Sonic have green eyes? Are they actually green?โ
You all stay silent.
โI thought they were black or brown?โ You speak in confusion.
โRight? Even blueโฆ.โ Charlie tilts his head.
โTechnically all of those are correct though they turn red as wellโฆ Itโs the different franchises, I guess?โ 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 youโve been watching. Sharing ice cream, stuffing yourselves full with your Momโs cooking โ there was even a drink war? All you knew was one minute you were nearly done with your beverage and the next itโs being tossed in Nickโs direction as you try and run away from Charlieโs retort from you getting him seconds before. Ah, canโt forget the classic kisses shared under one of the many trees at the park and the newest photos stored in your โNick & Char โค๏ธโ album, like the picture of Charlie โpaintingโ Nickโs 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 โ 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.
โYโthink weโll get jumpscared? Like a haunted path or something.โ You joked.
โThey said thereโs a nice stream down the path.โ Nick smirks at your joking, placing a hand on your head and you puff out your cheeks, feeling them heat up a bit.
โAh yes, you can take a nice swim in it when I push you in there, Y/N.โ Charlie hums, quick to dart his eyes away when you flip your head in his direction.
โYouโre so evil to me?โ You watch him with wild eyes, mouth agape and he laughs.
โDo you think weโll actually able to get in?โ Nick ponders and you flip the wild gaze to him now.
โWith us three, Iโm sure we can pull it off.โ Charlie responds with a menacing grin, mischief all up in his eyes and youโre playing ping pong with your eyes, flitting back and forth between them.
โIโm gonna be arrested today, huhโฆโ Your boyfriend and bestfriend just giggle like evil people.
In the end, you three didnโt get in the streamโs water but there were some fishes so you decided to feel them the crust that Charlie didnโt 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.
โDonโt drop me!โ Charlie tightens his hold around Nick, fear and excitement in his tone.
โThis takes me back to the beachโฆโ Nick ignores his boyfriendโs pleas and spins around carefully.
โDo not reminisce while Iโm in your arms, please and thank you?!โ He exclaims and it makes you full on laugh, an arm over your stomach while watching the whole exchange happen.
Itโs 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 wasnโt there.
โCarl Grimes flashbacksโฆโ You hum and Charlie puts you in a headlock.
โDo not. I will cry right here.โ 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 youโre going.
โAre we dropping Y/N off?โ He frowns.
It catches you and Charlie off guard. โWhat? What makes you think that?โ You raise an eyebrow. Nick points ahead and your house in slowly coming up in view. Ah.
โAh.โ Charlie speaks your thought and you both share a laugh. โNo, weโre not dropping her off.โ Charlie stretches his arms with a grunt before eyeing the bag strapped around Nick. โYou brought pajamas and clothes for tomorrow, right?โ
Nick nods, pursing his lips. โStill confused about that.โ
You scoff in amusement and place a hand on your forehead with an endearing smile. โNickโฆโ
โDonโt worry, youโll understand soon.โ 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.
โWhat he said,โ You pause for a moment, eyes burning into Nickโs, โDo you like stargazing?โ
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. โMmm. Never tried it before? What counts as stargazing? Iโveโฆ been in the car on trips and looked out the windowโฆ?โ You give him a perplexed look which he returns.
โAlright, well-โ You chuckle, โThat canโฆ technically count? I guess? Justโฆ Yeah.โ You give up midway, tugging Nick along when you get closer to the front of your house where Charlie awaits. โYouโre on your phone while youโre on a date? Tsk tsk.โ 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. โI was texting Saha- oops, hold on-โ 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 doesnโt question it any further, grinning a bit. Facing back to Charlie you mouth the word, โBarbie?โ and tilt your head in confusion. He nods.
โYouโre silly.โ You remove your hand from Nickโs face and flatten your hand, tapping Charlieโs forehead in a chopping motion. He rubs the area with a laugh and you knock on your front door.
โDid you forget your keys?โ Nick giggles when you give him a look of shame.
โMaybe.โ
Your Mom is quick to open the door, grinning widely. โWelcome back. Hello, Charlie and Nick.โ They wave in shyness and she scoots back to let the three of you in. โWhatโs the plan next, soldier?โ She bumps the door closed with her hip and loosely crosses her arms, raising an eyebrow at you specifically.
โGonna go in the back for about an hourโฆโ 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. โTo stargaze.โ You finally finish when Nickโs ears are out of reach.
She pats you on the back with approval, โAttagirl. How was lunch?โ
โIt was fun! We spoke a bit, ate and went down a trail.โ You bounce your head to the side while listening the activities before pausing. โHe seems moreโฆ energized?โ Your lips purse.
โWas that a question?โ 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. โWell, if he seems to be uplifted,โ She eyes you before taking out three water bottles. โThatโs great news, no?โ Then sets them infront of you on counter.
โYouโre right butโฆ I donโt know. I just feel like I can do more,โ You huff. โBut thatโs dumb because of course I canโt, this has to be something Nick figures out and all I can do is support him.โ
โHoney, that is doing more for him. Supporting him is the biggest help you can five someone, along with what youโre already doing. Taking him out, letting him have space to clear his mind and being a safe net. Same thing with Charlie, no?โ Her hands latch onto your shoulders and give the muscles a gentle squeeze. โI know it feels like you want to do so much more but, thereโs only so much.โ You tilt your head back and look up at her with a half-smile before relenting.
โYouโre right.โ
โA mother is always right.โ She lets go and moves towards the stove, giving you a smug side eyeโฆ which you return with an unamused eyeroll.
โYes, yes. My mother is always right. Sometimes.โ
โAbout ninety-nine percent.โ
โNinety-fiveโฆโ 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, itโs just a bit though.
โNinety-seven. Take it or leave it.โ
You scoff in amusement before scooping up the bottles, โWhatever you say, maโam. Weโll be outside.โ She hums in understanding and you exit out the kitchen, walking into the dining room before reaching the living room where the duo waits.
โPleasure for you to join us.โ Charlie smirks and takes two of the bottles from your arms with a nod of thanks.
โBe welcomed.โ Nick muses with a grin and cracks open the bottle, taking a quick refreshing sip.
โWhat is this speech? I hate it.โ Your face scrunches up in disgust before gesturing to the sliding glass door. โShall we?โ
โLook whoโs doing it nowโฆโ 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. Nickโs eyes widen in wonder. Your backyard has a big blanket โ similar to the one from the picnic โ 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.
โSince when do we get fireflies?โ You speak first.
โSince forever, Y/N.โ Charlie poked your back and you jump, flipping around to get him back but heโs already slipped behind Nick.
โYou littleโฆโ
โAh, ah ah, you have to be nice to me.โ
โSays who?โ Heโs being ridiculous.
โSays me. Your bestfriend.โ He peaks around Nickโs side โ who, mind you, is still focusing on the backyardโs look โ with a teasing grin.
โIโmma beat you up.โ
โNo!โ 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 itโs 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 agoโฆ
โDo you think fireflies come around this area?โ You were sitting on a bean bag, legs tucked beneath yourself and were practically sunken into the โseat.โ Charlie had insisted you to put it on the concrete side of the backyard so you did and now your face is hidden behind Nickโs 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. Itโs 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.
โMaybeโฆโ He leans back to look at the sky. โWhy? Do you like fireflies or something?โ 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.
โI mean, I have never seen any so, maybe, maybe not.โ 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. โDonโt you think theyโre kinda special though? My Mom said itโs like theyโre glowing up your night, dancing around you and stuff.โ You eye the floor. โAppearing on specials occasions like they know,โ You lean back into the seat with a sigh, โSaid thatโs how she got married. Isnโt that crazy?โ
Charlie purses his lips, tilting his head to the side before smiling, โSounds magical. Theyโre the โtrue loveโ bugs.โ His smile widens into a grin.
โExactly!โ You snap your fingers with a nod, bumping your heel against the stone pavement.
โIโm sure they do appear out here though, donโt they come out at Midnight?โ Charlie shivers while speaking, hugging the towel around himself tighter. You sympathize with a playful grin.
โMaybe. But well, you boys should get inside and warm up. Weโll try next time.โ
โNick! Are you gonna come and lay down?โ 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. โHow the hell did this happen?โ
โNick! Help me~โ Charlie wails before pinching your thigh, making you yelp and quickly let go.
โThat is cheating!โ You exclaim, rubbing your leg with a wince.
โAllโs fair in war.โ He snickers, reaching a hand out to Nick who takes it and sits down between you two.
Itโs a nice silence between the three of you, youโre not sure who laid down first but you eventually followed. Nick has his arms wrapped around the two of you and youโve 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. โIโm not good with constellations so youโre not gonna be getting that during this stargaze adventure.โ You mumble against Nick with a laugh and it makes the other two chuckle.
โNah, thatโs alrightโฆ Iโm happy with thisโฆโ You and Charlie freeze at how soft Nickโs 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 Nickโs arm slip off of you and he eyes you with suspicion. โActuallyโฆโ This would be way more comfortable on your knees so you sit up, tuck your calves beneath you and cuff Charlieโs face into your hands. Itโs 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 โ that would be awkwardโฆ and painful โ 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 Charlieโs intense gaze. You choke back a laugh with the swiftness of your friend sliding up a bit, hand softly cupping the side of Nickโs 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 youโre meeting with the two boys staring at you with flushed faces.
โOh my god, youโre so red.โ You laugh.
โShut up?โ 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. โWanna go inside now?โ
Charlie removes his arm with a sharp inhale and the two nod. โDo you need to bring the blanket in?โ He points to the cloth when you all stand and youโre quick to shake your head.
โNah. Iโll grab and wash it tomorrow,โ You stretch your limbs, hearing some pop. โI need new bonesโฆโ
Nick sticks his tongue out in playful disgust, โThat sounds horrific.โ
โWouldnโt that be crazy though? If we needed to trade in new bones when weโre old and seniors.โ
โY/N.โ Charlieโs eyebrows bend and he grimaces, โWhy do you come up with the most freaky scenarios.โ Itโs not a question.
โYeah, like the apocalypse one from before.โ Nick pitches in with a frown that falters into a smile.
You all step into the living room after youโre done turning off the lanterns and have grabbed your bottles, โBecause my brain is so amazing that I just think of things you would never think of.โ You make a gesture to your brain before wiggling your fingers like youโve done a magic trick.
โOr so you sayโฆโ Charlie glances somewhere else before meeting your eyes, โLess would never think of more, shouldnโt think of.โ He flicks his hand towards you, thumb and index finger out in a finger gun.
โHey, these could be real life events soon to happen.โ
โYeah the bones theory would happen when we all become immortal.โ He chuckles and you roll your eyes.
Then boom, jumpscare. Your Mom appears just as youโre settling on the couch. A screech leaves all of your mouths and she stares in shock with mild confusion and amusement.
โHello to you three, too.โ She giggles, walking over to the glass door, tugging the lock between the handle down and pulls the thick curtains down. โEnjoy stargazing?โ She turns back around with a soft smile.
You three shift your gazes away. Apparently it wasnโt just you that still had the intimate moment in the back of your brain, huh? โYeah, thanks Mom.โ
If she noticed the slight awkwardness building up, she doesnโt mention it nor show it and instead clasps her hands together, โThatโs wonderful! Dinner is finished so feel free to grab whatever you want. Iโll be upstairs if you need me.โ 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, โAnd then thereโs 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.โ
You nod before frowning, โWhy does it have to be me?โ Apparently she didnโt understand from the confusion crossing her face. You then point to Charlie and Nick.
Charlie looks offended, โWe are a guest?โ but his tone is light.
โYou practically live here? Your clothes are in my closet, mind you.โ Nick and your Mom choke out a laugh while Charlie flares up, flustered.
โNickโs are too?!โ
โWhich is why I included him in my pointing?!โ
Two people are bickering, two people laughing at the scene. It doesnโt take long for you Mom to calm you both down, โIt doesnโt matter who, it doesnโt matter if itโs all three of you. Please just donโt let them burn.โ She chuckles a bit more before rubbing her hand against her collarbone to calm herself, โHave a great time. Iโll be in my room.โ You all wave her โgoodnightโ and she retreats upstairs.
You three share a silence. Then Nick speaks,
โโฆSo what exactly are we doing? It seems you both are full of surprises today,โ He wears a teasing look which makes you and Charlie look away.
โDonโt worry about it, mister. You enjoy the ride.โ You talk first before nudging Charlie with your leg. โYou put the movie on, Iโll go make our plates and...โ You eye Nick for a moment not knowing what he should do.
โNick, I put the backpack in Y/Nโs room, could you go get it while we set up? Oh! The headbands too.โ 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 youโre 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 โ making you flinch back from the heat โ 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 itโs 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.
โDo you want drinks? We got juices, sodas, water, you name it.โ 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.
โDo you have that tropical mix?โ Nick speaks and you nod, he points at you in affirmation of the drink then finishes adjusting the plastic accessory around his hair.
โRoot beer, please.โ Charlie speaks next before his eyes shine open and wide, โDo you think we can have floatsโฆโ
Your eyebrows perk up, โI think we have vanilla? But youโre not getting that till the brownies cool down.โ
โOh, theyโre out? Thank Barbie.โ He holds his hands up in a prayer.
You stare at him, very much unamused and he gives you a cheeky grin.
โIโll have tropical juice for now then.โ
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.
โSorry,โ He smiles apologetically, walking up to you and grabbing the cups filled with juice that is his and Charlieโs. He catches you off guard once again, planting a soft kiss on your cheek before bounding off to the living room again.
โWhat the fuck.โ You stand in oblivion, feeling your face heat up. You decide you wonโt 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.
โYou forgot this, kind maโam.โ 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. โAre we ready for the best movie night ever?โ
You and Nick watch him with amusement, โYes, Charles, we are.โ
โNot Charles, I will fight you.โ He shivers at the name.
โYou call me Nicholas?โ Nick speaks. It makes you laugh.
โItโs your real name.โ He grins.
โIs Charles not your real name, Char?โ You lift an eyebrow and he rolls his eyes, still wearing the grin.
โNo, it is โCharlie โCharโ Springโ.โ
You let out an insufferable sigh.
โYโknow, Y/N has called me โLukeโ before.โ Nick leans his head back with a scoff. This makes you have a full on belly laugh which makes Charlie react the same way. โYes, yes laugh it away.โ He sighs like heโs in pain.
It takes five minutes to calm down. You wipe a precious tear away, โIt was on call too and he hung up. Would not answer for like, an hour.โ You inhale deeply at the memory before laughing again.
โShould we start calling him Luke as a nickname?โ
โPlease, please donโt.โ Nick squeezes the arm wrapped around Charlieโs waist with a pleading look.
โAwwe you canโt do that.โ He pouts, reaching up to pinch Nickโs face.
โDho wha?โ He sounds funny with Charlie tugging at his face.
โThe puppy eyed look. The doe eyes.โ You bat your eyelashes at Nick when he eyes you from the corner of his eyes before rolling them.
โWeโve gone all dahy withosut this, nowh yuu wanna shtart?โ Now heโs the one doing the insufferable sighing.
โItโs a daily mission.โ Charlie nods, a serious expression crossing his looks โ putting on an act. He then lets go and grabs the remote again, โMovie time!โ
โMovie time!โ 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 doesnโt miss it, pointing to you with a brow raised and expression saying, โDonโt laugh at me when youโre acting the same.โ You look away.
โHey,โ Nick suddenly speaks up and the two of you look over. โThanks for today. It really helped calm me downโฆโ He continues to train his eyes on the TV but his ears burn from you and Charlie giving him your undivided attention. โAnd reassured me about a few thingsโฆโ He purses his lips.
โReassured?โ 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.
โYeah. Since everything felt like it was crashing down, I donโt know. It kinda made me feelโฆ negative? About certain stuff. Between us. Not that Iโm not happy, Iโm more than thankful to be with you two but just like, how you both felt towards meโฆโ His pursed lips flatten and your brows bend at the way his eyes dim.
โBreaking 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, โYeah I donโt think we should be together,โ such and such.โ 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 Charlieโs glossed ones. The sight breaks your heart. โNickโฆโ You start off carefully and he looks over to you with so much exhaust. Slowly, you cuff his face โ the same way you did outside โ brushing your thumbs against him cheeks. Your right hand moves down, playfully you press your thumb against his bottom lip and smile gently.
โIโm sorry that you ever felt that way. Itโs far from the truth, sweetheart.โ He lets out an airy chuckle and you watch with adoration. โYโknow brains come up with the craziest scenarios when youโre stressed and itโs annoying, and stupid.โ 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. โDo you know that, that would never happen unless you came to me asking for such a thing?โ You pucker out your lips.
He watches you in a daze before laughing. โDo you know that would never happen?โ Then he turns to Charlie with a soft look. โAnd you, Char?โ
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 Nickโs shoulders which makes the latterโs mouth hang open in surprise. โNick. I love you. A lot. It hurts to know that you were dealing with these emotions, but know Iโm not blaming you. How could I? Itโs not your fault. Never feel bad for needing to take your time to sort out your own feelings and whatโs going on with yourself. Weโd never blame you for that because in the end, you know we have you, right?โ
Nick nods and you can see his own eyes get glossy as well. Charlie then looks at you, โI love you too, Y/N, donโt tell Tao but youโre my bestfriend.โ He chuckles, wiping at his eye again and you wipe at your owns.
โHey, he can be your guy bestfriend and we wouldnโt have to fight over titles.โ You wink, before leaning to Nick and kissing him softly. โI love you both, very much so. Iโm glad you were able to talk to us, Nick.โ
โWas that your goal today?โ He grins in a joking manner, tilting his head in the crook of Charlieโs neck while entangling his fingers with yours.
โDid it work?โ Charlie sniffles a bit before laughing. You laugh as well, โThis is ridiculous weโre supposed to be watching Barbie and now weโre sobbing.โ
โI give up.โ You throw your head back, side eyeing the TV.
โNooo, donโt give up.โ Nicks chuckles before sitting upright. โWe can still watchโฆ we should probably eat too.โ He points to the lonely plates on the table.
โTrue.โ You and Charlie agree. You three take a moment to collect yourselves with a few embarrassed laughs here and there before settling back down.
โWhatโs in the bag, by the way?โ You gesture to the backpack under the coffee table as Charlie rewinds the movie back to the beginning. He glances down.
โSnacks.โ
โItโs good.โ 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.
โThatโs terrible.โ Nick stares at Charlie in shock but it doesnโt last long with the way his lips curve into a smirk, โThatโs not her real rating though, is it?โ
โOf course not, she loved it.โ Charlie laughs.
Youโve 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. โNick. Your new name in my phone is Ken Nelson.โ

During Mr. Ajayi's art lesson, the classroom buzzed with the sounds of brushes sweeping across canvases, pencils sketching on paper, and the potter's wheel humming away. I eagerly joined in, excited to dive into the creative process.
Throughout the lesson, Elle and I exchanged glances here and there, silently sharing our thoughts on the techniques Mr. Ajayi was imparting. It felt like we were quickly becoming art buddies.
As the class continued, Mr. Ajayi came over to my easel to check out my work. His encouraging smile and helpful feedback inspired me to push my artistic boundaries further. I could now see why Charlie had praised him as one of the great teachers.
The class passed quickly, and I found it pretty interesting overall. When the bell rang, everyone jumped out of their seats, excited for lunch. I, on the other hand, wasn't exactly thrilled about it because I still hadn't gotten used to the foreign food.
"Hey, have you seen Charlie?" Ellie asked, pulling me out of my thoughts. I realized then that I hadn't spotted Charlie in class, which started to make me worry.
"You know, now that you mention it, I didn't see him in class at all, and he was even late for his first class today," I replied. Ellie's expression turned from curiosity to concern, and she frowned.
"Never mind," Ellie quickly changed the subject, her frown disappearing, replaced by a smile. "Anyway, let's hurry up and grab some lunch before it gets too crowded." She linked arms with me, and we walked past the cafeteria, heading for the courtyard.
Ellie led me to a table where two guys were sitting. One was engrossed in a book, and the other seemed lost in thought, staring into the distance. As we approached, the guy lost in thought finally looked up and let out a sigh of relief.
"Finally, you're here. I just grabbed your apple juice," he said but then stopped in his tracks, looking surprised when he saw me. Ellie couldn't help but laugh at his reaction.
"Thanks, Tao. I was really thirsty in class this morning," Ellie said as she opened her apple juice and took a sip. For a moment, unsure whether to introduce myself or remain quiet. The guy who had been immersed in his book looked up at me with a friendly grin and introduced himself, saying, "Hey, I'm Isaac."
I returned his smile somewhat bashfully, relieved that someone had broken the ice. I nodded toward the familiar book in his hand and asked, "Is that by any chance 'Dune' by Frank Herbert? I read almost half of the series back in middle school, but life got in the way, and I never got around to finishing it in my free time."
Isaac's face lit up at the mention of the book, and he eagerly confirmed, "Yes, it is! I started it about a week ago, and I'm really enjoying it so far. But it feels like I've only scratched the surface, and I've got a long way to go."
His excitement was palpable, from the sparkle in his eyes to the way he cradled the book delicately, ensuring he didn't damage the spine. It was clear he was a true bookworm. I chuckled and replied, "Well, you're ahead of me. I barely finished the second book."
Isaac laughed, saying, "I hope I can keep going. I've got a mountain of books to get through," as he glanced helplessly at the pages he had left. I chimed in, "You've got quite a journey ahead of you. Just wait until they get to the part where theyโ"
Before I could continue, Isaac hastily covered his ears, shaking his head vigorously to avoid any spoilers. Ellie joined in the laughter and assured him, "Don't worry, Isaac, Y/N won't spoil anything."
Then, a guy in a beanie chimed in, saying, "So, you're the American girl everyone's been talking about," giving me an inquisitive once-over. It seemed like news of my presence had spread throughout the entire school.
I scratched my ear nervously and said, "Yeah, I just moved here about a week ago. It's pretty surprising how the news has spread so quickly."
The guy I figured was Tao responded, "Gossip tends to travel fast these days, especially since we merged schools."
That raised my eyebrows, and I asked, "Merged schools? Are you saying this used to be an all-boys school?"
Isaac chimed in, nodding, "Yup, we recently merged with Harvey Greene because the school had a bad fire over the summer."
I nodded in understanding, saying, "Ah, I see. That explains why all the guys were giving me those curious looks when I first walked in."
Ellie glanced at me knowingly and added, "I'm sure that's not the only reason they were looking at you." I waved her off, not quite catching her drift. I was about to respond when I finally spotted Charlie entering the courtyard. He scanned the field until his eyes settled on our table, and he started walking over.
He smiled at us while he put his backpack down, Ellie quickly intervened โWhere have you been, I feel like I haven't seen you all dayโ Charlie smiled sheepishly โSorry, I had some stuff to do before class started,โ he simply explained but we can tell that we were not buying it, I especially was not buying it. Being late and missing a class on the first day of school definitely doesn't add up. But seeing Charlieโs presence he definitely looks a lot happier than before I saw him this morning. So, something most definitely has happened.ย
โWhere have you been, I hear that you missed two classes,โ Tao explained looking for an explanation. But Charlie couldnโt help but laugh โI only missed one class for you information, and I talked with Mr. Ajayi a few minutes ago so everything is fine now,โ Charlie explained as he gave us reassuring eyes.ย
His cheeks were a little flushed as well as his rosy lips, and he does seem to be in better spirits, so I decided to let it go, for now. โWell, that is settled, can we please talk about Mr. Farouk unibrow grown more over the summer,โ Charlie announced.
There was a pause for a moment until we busted out giggling.ย โI am so glad someone else said itโ Ellie joined, covering her hand over her mouth. Tao busted down laughing, almost falling off the bench.
I could help but ask โWait, he has a unibrow for so long?โ you question everyone said in unison.
ย โYes!โย
I laughed right then and there.
___________
As the days went on, I became closer and closer to Charlie and his little friend group. My mom was definitely shocked that I had a friend group so fast, but I can tell that she was kind of glad that I found a group. And even for myself I am happy that I found a group that I have in common with. Ellie has been giving me some major fashion tips that I didn't even know I needed. Since we have the same hair texture, sheโs even been teaching me some new hair styles. She is even teaching me how to braid my own since I can't braid for my life.
Issac even got me back to reading, surprisingly enough he made me read this book called โPride and Prejudiceโ which I am a couple chapters in, and I already love it so far. But with TaoโฆI can tell he doesn't like me very much, even at school whenever he sees me down the hall, he just avoids me like the plague, even his energy just gives off โstay away from meโ vibes. I asked Charlie about this, but he just said Tao just takes a while to get used to new people, which I believe is total bullshit, but I decided to drop it.
It was a new day, and things were off to a rocky start. I finally found a student who could point me in the direction of the film department, which is located on the other side of the school in a dimly lit classroom. But just my luck, I discovered a notice on the door, explaining that it was temporarily closed due to the teacher being on maternity leave, and they needed time to find a replacement.
Feeling frustrated, I knew I couldn't share this news with my mom; she'd likely force me to join a sports team. I'd given running with Charlie a try in the morning, and let's just say it didn't go well. As I navigated the crowded hallways filled with students in their Truham uniforms, my day took an unexpected turn when I spotted a familiar face. His charming smile lit up his face, and his blue eyes sparkled in the sunlight.
"Hi," he greeted with warmth.
"Hi," I replied, a smile forming on my lips. Feeling a bit better despite my initial frustration.
We found ourselves just standing in the hallway, exchanging uncertain glances. Then, Nick broke the silence with a stammer, "Are you going that way?"
I replied with a touch of disappointment, "I'm heading to Math, unfortunately."
He smiled sheepishly, "Same," and we started walking together down the hall.
As I glanced at his notepad, I couldn't believe my eyes. "Are you actually doing homework while walking to class?"
Nick chuckled, seemingly surprised at himself, "I might be." He marked an answer that was clearly incorrect. I couldn't help but be amazed and teased him, "Well, that's certainly a choice."
He laughed, "It makes me sound way cooler than I actually am," he looked at the paper confusingly and scribbled another wrong answer. I couldn't resist poking fun, "You know what would be even cooler? Getting the answers right."
Nick did a double-take, "Huh? Are you saying that I got it wrong? I could have sworn I picked the right one." He scrutinized his paper closely.
Shaking my head, I confirmed, "Yeah, no, you completely butchered the last two problems, and if I let you continue, there will be no coming back."
Nick seemed taken aback, "No way. I double-checked the last one, even went over it with a classmate."
I offered to help, "Do you want me to do it for you?" It was practically insisting at this point.
He declined firmly, "No, I'm good. I got it from here."
I persisted, "Are you sure? I can just tell you the answers."
Nick looked at me knowingly, a smirk forming on his lips, "Then I won't learn. I can't take shortcuts like some people.โย
He was one of the most stubborn guys I'd ever met, and normally, I would have just let it go. But something inside me made me want to keep trying, and I couldn't help but be charmed by his determination. It made me admire him some type of way.
Without thinking, my hand inched towards Nick's notebook. "If you're stuck, I can just..." I started, attempting to seize the notebook, but he resisted, a playful smile tugging at his lips.
"Let me just..." he said, struggling to hold back a laugh, all the while my fingers grasped onto the pages.
Nick couldn't help but chuckle, "Get off," he gasped, and inadvertently left a small, blue ink scribble on my hand. I was taken aback, staring at the ink mark. "Did you really justโ"
Before I could finish my sentence, Nick swiftly took my hand and, with a deft motion, turned the ink blot into a smiling face. "Better."
I tried to ignore the warmth of his hand enveloping my cold one. His touch was both rough and gentle, creating a unique sensation. I couldn't help but smile at the little drawing he'd made. "Maybe."
We gazed at each other for a brief moment, and then we carried on walking. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about these small moments with him always gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling that seems to settle in the pit of my stomach. I decided to block it out for now.
Walking down the hallway I see a familiar face; they gave me and Nick a smile and I waved back, while passing each other in the hall. Nick seemed to notice the interaction. "Oh, you finally meet Ben?" he asked.
You furrowed your brow, "Is that his name? He seems nice, he helped me out this morning, with finally finding the Film department,"
Nick nodded "Sorry I couldn't be much help, but I am glad you finally found it!" he said.
"Yeah, but the department is temporarily closed since they can't find a teacher," you responded sadly. Nick noticed, my demeaner changed so quickly.
"Well, you can always join the rugby team to keep you occupied" he teased. You gaped at him; you can obviously tell that he was joking but you appreciate him on trying to lift you spirts.
I let out a mock gasp, feigning disbelief. "Rugby? Seriously? I'd be flattened within the first five minutes!" I chuckled, shaking my head. "But hey, maybe I could be the secret weapon. No one would see me coming!"
Nick joined in the laughter, and his smile was like a ray of sunshine. "True, true. You'd be the ultimate underdog. Surprise attack all the way!"
I couldn't help but smile back. These moments with Nick had a way of brightening my day.
-หหโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ +
I sat down at the bench, letting out a sigh of relief, glad to have a break from my never-ending classes. "Sorry, I'm a bit late. What's the topic?" I asked.
Charlie's face turned sad as he responded, "We were just talking about how much Mr. Reed is a transphobe," The frustration in his voice was pretty clear.
Tao joined in, looking a bit annoyed as he held onto the table's edge. "Mr. Reed is still refusing to call her Elle." he grumbled, with a deep frown. "I can tell that it has been affecting Elle a little bit, but I can tell that she doesn't want to talk about it."
Elle approached the table, her smile as bright as ever, and grabbed an apple juice. "Hey, guys, what's going on?" she asked, excited to catch up. We exchanged looks, not quite sure where to begin.
Isaac decided to start the conversation. "We were chatting about this year's prom and what the theme might be," he mentioned, sounding a bit hesitant. Elle's eyes lit up with excitement. "Funny, I was thinking about that too!"
The talk at the table picked up pace as we shared ideas about the possible prom themes and what to wear. I'd never been to a prom before and didn't fully get why people were so into it, but my friends' enthusiasm made me curious. Amidst all the chatting, I found my attention wandering to the distant sounds coming from the field.
My gaze couldn't help but gravitate toward none other than Nick Nelson. I couldn't quite fathom why I kept running into him at school. Sure, we share a class, but there was something intriguing about him that I struggled to put into words.
As I watched him dash around the field, fully immersed in a game, I couldn't help but find it rather endearing. A soft smile crept onto my face, and I instinctively reached into my backpack to retrieve my camera. I snapped a quick photo; there was something so precious about witnessing someone carefree and joyful.
Tao, who caught me in the act, looked in my direction and remarked, "Isn't that Nick Nelson?" The entire table fell silent, hanging on my response.
Charlie chimed in confidently, "He sits next to her in our form." He seemed to wonder if that piece of information was helpful at all.
I decided to play dumb, asking innocently, "Who?"
"He looks like a golden retriever." Charlie said breathlessly, looking out into the field, he was clearly impressed by Nick's athleticism. As I watched Nick skillfully handle the soccer ball, that warm, fuzzy feeling swelled in my stomach, and my heart raced.
"Yeah, he really does," I responded breathlessly, my emotions getting the best of me. Tao raised an eyebrow and turned to me, teasing, "I can't believe you've been sitting next to the rugby king, Nick Nelson."
"He plays rugby?" I blurted out, my shock evident as all the hints from our past conversations fell into place. The image of his broad shoulders and strong arms suddenly made sense. I shook my head, refusing to let my thoughts dive too deeply into that rabbit hole.
"Yeah, he's been on the team since freshman year. What do you guys' even chat about every morning?" Tao asked, his tone betraying his surprise.
"We talk," I responded defensively, sensing Tao's skepticism. Feeling the need to justify our interactions.
He arched an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. "About what?"
The memory of Nick's pen exploding, leaving him with ink-stained hands and a desperate look for help, flashed through my mind. I couldn't help but laugh at him as he tried to scrub the stubborn blue ink away. "It's not coming off!" he had panicked, and I had playfully teased, "So, does this mean you're going to be blue forever?" We both shared a laugh, and he looked at his comically stained hands, saying, "It looks like I'm wearing blue gloves!" I couldn't resist adding, "Hey, I think it looks good on you. It brings out your eyes," though I wasn't entirely joking. Our shared laughter continued as we reminisced about that amusing incident.
I chuckled at the memory.
"Well, all I'm saying is, be careful," Tao advised.
I frowned, not quite getting it. "What? Why?"
Tao widened his eyes in disbelief. "Why? Just look at them," he exclaimed, nodding in the direction of Nick on the field. "He's the star player of the rugby team and hangs out with those rowdy, obnoxious Year 11 guys," he continued, a touch of disgust in his voice.
"Those are similar to the guys who bullied Charlie last year," he added, lowering his voice as he glanced at Charlie with a sympathetic look. The shock rippled across my face, leaving me momentarily speechless.
Charlie, noticing my reaction, reassured Tao, "I'm over that now, and from what I've seen, Nick is nothing like those bullies," he said, seeking confirmation from me.
I nodded. "Nick... He's different, he's nice," I said, pausing, unsure of what more to say.
Tao rolled his eyes, adopting a mocking tone, "I bet he's a completely different person when he's with his bro-dude friends," eliciting a laugh from Isaac. Sensing the shift in the mood, Ellie wisely decided to change the subject.
The day flew by, and before I knew it, I had finished all my classes. I was pleasantly surprised that I'd managed to get some homework done. Charlie and I walked out of the classroom together, and the air was getting colder by the second, even though the sun was still shining.
"I don't know how you're not freezing. I've got goosebumps," I commented, hugging my coat tightly around my body. Charlie chuckled in response.
"I'm not the one wearing a skirt. And just because I don't show it doesn't mean I'm not cold," he teased, strolling along. I rolled my eyes, thinking I might need to switch to pants for a few days until the weather improved.
"Hey, did you happen to get the answer sheet for math class today?" I asked, realizing that I had forgotten to complete the last set of problems.
We walked out of the school, and I waited for Charlie's response. However, he suddenly stopped walking, a look of surprise and confusion on his face. Concerned, I stopped alongside him, trying to figure out what had caught his attention.
His expression was a mix of shock and confusion. As I followed his gaze, I saw Nick Nelson, the familiar blond boy, laughing outside the school gates. I couldn't help but notice how his smile seemed to brighten in the sunlight, and I found myself getting lost in the sight. I scolded myself mentally; I needed to stop doing this to myself. But there was something about Nick that drew my attention.
Regrettably, my view of him was blocked by a couple more interested in their makeout session than their surroundings. I couldn't quite understand why Nick had this effect on me, and it bothered me. I let out an internal sigh, ready to move on.
"You ready to go, Charlie?" I asked, feeling defeated as I looked up at my friend. His expression had changed from shock to one of sadness, with a hard line forming across his lips.
Charlie simply replied, "Let's go."

Beating Hearts
Pairing: Nick Nelson x Female!Reader
Pronouns: She/Her
Fandom: Heartstopper
Warnings: Mentions of B*n H*pe and H*rry Gr*en. But other then that it's completely friendly, cute, innocent, and fluffy.
Summary: Nick Nelson comes to you with a very serious question which escaltes into further conversation and romance.
POV: First Person
โY/N, are you gay?โ
I lifted my eyebrows in confusion, peering my head from behind my locker to look in the eyes of the Rugby star, Nick Nelson. My heart began beating so fast I swear I was having a heart attack.
I hadn't thought I was going to see Nick Nelson out of everyone on a Wednesday afternoon, but maybe today wasn't going to be as boring as I had originally thought.
โAm I what?โ I asked. I stared at him, my lips slightly open and my face lifting into a mix of confusion and shock. I didnโt think I had heard him correctly.
Nick's face flushed and his cheeks shown with a light blush on them before he repeated the question. โAre you gay?โ
I looked back into my locker which had been decorated with photos of my friends and I. Tara and Darcyโs photos just happily gazing back at me.
Thinking of Tara and Darcy made me think about our school, Higgs. Thinking of Higgs made me wonder as to how the hell Nick Nelson got into the school mid-day.
โOkay Iโll answer your question but first you have to answer mine.โ I ordered him. He opened his lips but nothing came out. I lifted an eyebrow and he just nodded.
โIโฆ okay shoot.โ He said. I looked around to check if anyone was in the hallway. I closed my locker and grabbed his arm, pulling him into the corner behind the stairwell. He looked confused.
โHow in the hell did you get into Higgs without a teacher seeing you? Mrs. Strasser has the eyes of an eagle! How did you not get caught?โ I asked him in a hushed tone, pulling him closer so he was completely out of sight from any teacher or student.
โI just walked in. I needed to talk to you and weโre on our lunch hour so I just wanted to ask. I didnโt know we had separate lunches and I just thought youโd be at lunch too.โ He said quickly. I nodded and looked up at the stairwell, hoping nobody would decide at this moment to come down. It would also be awkward for someone to come down and see me talking to Nick Nelson. A boy. Under the stairwell. That would be suspicious. โBut donโt worry! Nobody saw me. At least, I donโt think anybody did.โ He excused. I looked from the stairway and into his eyes. His resting face looked as if he were concerned or even pouting.
A smile threatened my lips.
โNot to be weird, but has anyone told you that you look like a Golden Retriever?โ I asked. His eyes widened and a small smile appeared on his face.
โYes, Y/N. You tell me every day.โ He said as he scoffed in amusement. โAnd I know you meant to be totally weird.โ He put his hands in his pockets and shuffled his feet around a little bit. With how popular he was at Truham and at Higgs, I thought it was funny how awkward he could be.
โOh for sure. Totally. I really wonder how you saw through that, Nelson. I wanted to make you as uncomfortable as possible. Yeah.โ I agreed with him sarcastically. He nodded anxiously.
We stood in an awkward silence for a moment before he spoke. โYou uhโฆ never answered my question.โ He muttered out. I looked up at him innocently.
โIโm sorry, what was your question?โ I asked him. I remembered what his question was. And I knew the answer.
โUhโฆโ he looked around as if someone would mysteriously appear out of nowhere. He leaned down closer to me. โAre youโฆ are you gay?โ He asked me quietly. I pressed my lips into a thin line. I tore my gaze away from his and looked towards the left.
โIs Harry making you ask this question? Did Harry or even Ben put you up to this to find some massive tea on me? Harry and I dated forever ago. It doesnโt matter anymore. Tell him to leave me al-โ
Nick put his hands up in defense. โNo! No. Harry doesnโt even know Iโm here. This is just me asking. Iโm really curious. I have a good friend whoโs gay and I just want to know some things about it.โ He quickly said. I smiled. This was such a Nicholas Nelson thing to do.
โUh huhโฆ okayโฆ and are you interested in said friend?โ I asked. His eyes widened and his face fell. I could tell he was trying to hide it, but I saw a small blush creeping its way across his cheeks. He didnโt answer the question. A smile spread on my face.
โOh, you are!โ I loudly whispered. He shushed me. I kept a smile on my face, though my beating heart began hurting. A nasty feeling in the pit of my stomach started forming but I just ignored it. What did it matter anyways?
โI donโt know if I amโฆ okay? I really donโt know. I just met him and I thought he was cute and weโve been hanging out a lot but I donโt know.โ He paused for a moment, running a hand through his hair. He seemed to be in distress, and it made me sad to see how confused he was. I wished I could give him an answer, however, I knew this was something he had to figure out on his own. Of course Iโd be around to help, though. He began speaking again. โBut to be honest with you, I also like this girl and Iโm just really really confused and scared as to everything.โ He blurted. I bit my lip, nodding my head slowly.
โThatโs really something. And I thought today was going to be boring,โ I smirked and began walking to my locker. When I had gotten there I had seen that Nick had followed me.
โYou are a Golden Retriever! But Iโm gonna put the rest of my stuff in my locker. I have Maths this period so itโs going to be depressing anyway.โ I informed him, beginning to put my Calculus book in my locker.
โIโฆ Iโm sorry? What?โ He asked. He looked even more confused than before. I felt really bad.
โOh sorry. Weโre going to sneak out of the school and go somewhere quieter so we can talk about this in an easier setting. I donโt want you getting overwhelmed.โ I explained further. The smile on his face was the most relieved I had ever seen him. I hoped he wasnโt expecting me to be mad or upset about his confusion on sexuality.
I grabbed my jacket and together we began walking out the glass doors at the end of the corridor. We were careful to not let anyone see us leaving the premises at all. Once we were far away enough, we began to walk at a more relaxed pace.
"So when did you start questioning?" I asked him. I made sure not to include 'sexuality' in there just in case he was uncomfortable with me saying that in public.
He looked down at me, his lips pursed. "I guess it's been recently. We hung out at his house, and I felt something just...sparking, you know?" He explained. I thought for a moment and shook my head. He scoffed.
"I forgot that you were a sociopath." He joked. I smiled. Last year when he and I had met, Harry had began telling everyone that I was a sociopath just because I had broken up with him when we were 13. We only dated 2 months.
"How do you forget such crucial information about me, Nelson? Like geez!" We both laughed. I always liked how I could joke around with Nick without feeling like I was being rude. He was so easy and took most things with a grain of salt. I guess that's why it stung a little when he told me that he liked a guy. That reminded me of another question.
"So Nick, what about this guy? You like 2 people, tell me about this one. How long have you liked him?" I asked him politely. Another blush creeped onto his face. Or maybe he had just had a permanent blush. His cheeks were always rosy, and it was something I admired about him. It made him look even more innocent than he was.
"Um..I...He's... Well..." I watched in amusement as he tried to explain the guy. However, the pain in my heart came back. I took a breath, wishing it away. It didn't.
"Take your time Nick. You don't have to explain it to me if you don't want to." I added.
"No I want to." He blurted loudly. My eyes widened a little bit but I just waved it off.
"He's...cute and he's funny. He's also, and not to misgender him, pretty. Being with him is so fun and he warms my heart a lot. He makes me feel like I matter. But at the same time..." He didn't finish his sentence. He just left it for me to interpret but thank GOD I'm a dumbass and I can't understand anything for open interpretation.
โAt the same timeโฆ what?โ I asked him. I could see his breath hitch. He glanced down at me before he looked to his feet.
โAt the same timeโฆ thereโs that girlโฆ Iโve liked her for a long time, now. Thatโs why it confused me when I felt this way towards this boy. Sheโs beautiful and really kind. She always puts my feelings before hers, even if she jokes around with me a lot. She never takes my feelings with a grain of salt, but she takes them into consideration. Sheโs so cool.โ He looked as if he was going to say more but he didnโt.
The pain returned and got caught into my throat, which was now dry. I tried pushing down the lump. I wish I brought water with me. It was quiet for a moment but not on purpose. It was just me trying to be able to speak without sounding stupid. Finally I had the strength to ask another question.
โSo do I know her?โ I asked him. He seemed lost in thought for a moment.
โI mean..." He paused another moment before he decided his true answer. His eyebrows furrowed. "Yeah, you do." He declared. I blinked in confusion, and bit my lip again.
It couldn't be Tara? Right?
I almost felt bad for the boy. He didn't know that Tara was in a relationship with Darcy. Barely anybody had known. Hell, I had only found out because Darcy was showing me a funny photo, laughed too hard at it, and accidentally swiped left to show a photo of her and Tara kissing. What a great thing to have in your camera roll right next to a funny picture.
"You don't mean Tara, right?โ I asked him. I was asking a lot of questions today. We stopped walking at a crosswalk. I pressed a button on the side of the road. We waited for the signal to go.
"Tara and I kissed once when we were 13. That doesn't mean that I'm forever inevitably in love with her. Besides, the crush I had on her subsided a long, long time ago" He disclosed. I inhaled a breath, wondering who else he had known from Higgs. Despite his popularity, he didn't talk to many girls. At all. Nick Nelson's love life didn't seem to exist until now.
I knew he was friends with Imogen, who was pretty friendly. She and I got along pretty well. We were really good friends. She also had the biggest crush on Nick which she made very clear to many people. I'm glad she never found out about my crush on him.
The signal on the opposing street turned green and we began to walk.
I'd like to add. MINOR crush on Nicholas Nelson. MINOR. Nothing bigger than that. After Harry and I dated when we were 13, I decided that boys weren't worth my time. Until I met Nick...that was..
Thinking of Nick, he broke me out my thoughts.
"And before you say anything about Imogen, no I don't like her. We're good friends but that's all that it's ever going to be. She's a wonderful girl, but not my type of girl." My heart turned to some relief and the lump in my throat was gone.
"Or guy." I added, smirking at him. He looked down at me, a blush and a big smile on his face.
"Oh, shut up!" He scolded.
"Hey, I'm just stating the obvious," I put my hands up in defense, giggling. He chuckled at my gesture. I put my hands down. "Speaking of obvious. I have made up my diagnosis for you." I announced in a fancy way. He looked down at me, a small smile on his face.
"Oh yeah? And what's your diagnosis, doctor?" he asked. His brown eyes looked warm and kind. Most brown eyes were intense and earthy. His reminded me of sitting by the fireplace with a nice cup of coffee or tea on an Autumn Day, snuggled in a blanket. They reminded me of the sun too, for some reason. Especially when he smiled.
It felt like time was slowing as we stared at each other. His pupils were dilated. He faced me completely as if I were the only important thing in the world at this point.
I guess that's when I knew who his girl crush was. My face fell slightly, and I looked away, blushing. Never in my life had I thought that Nicholas Nelson would like me in any sort of way other than platonically.
"I uh... you're...you..." I stuttered for a bit and his smile grew larger. I ignored it for a moment, trying to rid of my blush. I took a few breaths. Once I had gained my confidence back, I stared at him.
"How dare you scoff at me while I'm trying to give you the knowledge that you desire oh so much. Very rude, sir." I sassed. He nodded respectfully.
"Well, I'm sooo sorry for disrupting your stuttering diagnosis. Go on, please. Be my guest!" He sarcastically apologized. I smiled kindly and nodded.
Now that I think about it. I nod a lot.
"And maybe I will go on." I cleared my throat dramatically. "I diagnose you with Bisexuality." Nick hummed. He made a tsking sound and then spoke.
"I knew that's what you'd say. I did some research last night.โ He began rubbing his neck. โI may have took a few quizzes as well, but I just...I wanted to know if it was obvious that I was or not." He looked at his shoes. He didn't look disappointed or upset about it. He just looked really lost in thought. The confusion radiated off of him.
My face fell and I placed a hand on his shoulder, he stopped walking and faced me, still looking at the ground. "Hey, I promise it's okay. Figuring this stuff out is really confusing and tiring. It gives you a lost and weird feeling like you don't know who you are. It's not a bad thing to question your sexuality, though. If anything, I think it's completely healthy. And at the end of the day, you're Nick Nelson. And if one day you decide you don't want to be Nick Nelson anymore, that's okay too. And if nobody else is, I'll be here with you every step of the way. I swear I will be." It took him a moment, but he looked down at me with tears in his eyes. Just the sight of that made me want to cry.
"Oh Nick..." I mumbled. I pulled him into a hug. He just hugged back, silently sobbing into my shoulder. We stood on the side of the sidewalk for a while, him crying and me comforting him.
He was the one who pulled away first. His eyes were puffy and red, his lip slightly quivering. The rose color of his cheeks had spread across his face. I frowned. Seeing Nick sad was like seeing the world end.
It hurt me on a level you may or may not know.
He just stared at me for a moment, as if he was taking me in. That, or he was silently thanking me. It could have been both, though. Like I said before, I was a dumbass.
Just as Nick was going to speak, it began raining. He closed his eyes, pressing his lips into a straight line. He made another tsk sound.
He didn't speak but grabbed my hand and led me down the sidewalk a little ways more. We came to an alley, and he led me in. I hoped this entire thing wasn't just a plan to lure me into an alley for Harry to be there.
Nick would never do that, though. And he didn't do that. I was just overthinking.
He stopped near the middle of the alleyway where a long plastic black sheet was covering the top. We stared at each other a moment longer, and as if we were on perfect sync, we both laughed.
"I really have to start checking the weather." He admitted. I nodded, continuing to laugh. I looked down and saw our hands still conjoined. Nick had noticed too, but just tightened the grip. He stepped forward, closing a little more of the gap between us. He grabbed my other hand.
"I know this is really weird and completely out of nowhere. And I know I've just cried to you about my feelings...but I've been meaning to tell you something for a really long time." He started. My heart began to beat extremely fast. From the look in his eyes, he didn't know where to start. He let out an amused scoff and began to speak his truth.
"When you began dating Harry, I knew you were too good for him. I didn't really know you at that time, but people had told me how nice and kind you were. I have this very small memory of you crying about a worm that Harry had stepped on on purpose. I think that's why you broke up with him. He's always been an asshole. And he was always an asshole to you. He didn't deserve you. And the more time I spent with you, I realized that I didn't deserve you. You're amazing in every way. You're caring, wise, smart, empathetic. And you're really cool. Way too cool for me. But despite that coolness that overwhelms you, I could never shake my feelings for you. I still can't. Y/N you're that girl. You've always been that girl. And if you don't reciprocate my feelings because of your ultimate coolness, I understand. But if you do, I'll....I don't know, but I'll do something. But I promise I won't step on a worm." He stopped talking, inhaling many deep and long breaths. He hadn't breathed that entire time he told me about how he felt. My head couldn't wrap around the thought that Nick Nelson had liked me. I mean...I knew about it, but I hadnโt though about how 10 minutes after I found out, heโd pour his heart out to me.
His heart was pounding. I could make that very clear from the way his chest was moving up and down. His face fell. "I'm sorry...I shouldn't have-"
I pressed my lips to his. I don't regret it...but after doing it, I wanted that to be put on a 'Y/N's -4,000,000 IQ moments. (Cringe compilation) (ULTIMATE cringe) (NOT Clickbait)โ YouTube videos.
He kissed me back. He wasn't forceful or harsh. He was gentle and soft. He let go of my hands and wrapped them around my back, pulling me slightly closer. My hands went to cup his face.
No matter how much I didn't want to, I pulled away. My face was still very close to his, our noses barely touching. "Nick Nelson...I'm about to make so many women angry. But in every way possible, I reciprocate your feelings. In every single way. You're sweet and kind and gentle and you're," I paused for a moment. "...The only way to describe you is Nick Nelson because there are no words in the dictionary to describe such a beautiful person as you. You're inexplainable and that's just who you are. Of course, I like you. No matter the sexuality, the gender, the personality. I like Nick Nelson." I muttered loud enough for him to hear. He smiled softly and without saying anything, he pressed his lips onto mine again. My hands fell to his neck.
When he pulled away, the smile that was on his lips was so wide, I could feel my heart pounding harder against my chest. "You never answered my question." He mentioned. I looked down and chuckled. I looked back up to him after a second.
"Do I have to answer it?" I asked him. He kissed my forehead.
"No. You don't."

'Coming out'
Pairing: Isaac x aroace!fem!reader, reader x the gang
Type: Request (thank you so much!!)
Warnings: none?
Word count: 2k
Requests: Open for twilight wolfpack, heartstopper and narnia
A/n: loved loved loved writing this little thing <3 itโs a good reminder to be kind and respect peopleโs journey xxx
Summary: The reader meets Isaac and finds in him an amazing friend. They will accompany each other through their self-discovery journeys. Although Isaac might need some help explaining it all to the rest of his friendsโฆ
You first met Isaac at one of your favorite corner bookshops. It was an old vintagey building loaded with books. It was a labyrinth of nooks and crannies filled with beautiful stories and cozy reading spots scattered around the shop. You were both so caught up in the book you were reading you failed to notice the other walking straight in your direction.
As you'd imagine, you kinda knocked each other out and almost destroyed the precious piles of books stacked in a nearby corner. You looked up to the soft traits of the person before you and felt something click. When we talk about love at first sight, we usually refer to romantic love, but people often forget about platonic love. Or as you liked to call it, the discovery of a soulfriend.
The rest became history.
You realized Isaac went to Truham, not so far from your school, Higgs. Instantly, your love for books brought you together, as well as all the other things you had in common, such as your sarcastic humor, your unending curiosity for learning new things, and your journeys of self-discovery.
You were proudly a part of the LGBTQ+ community after you figured out you didn't feel attraction the same way other people did. You will always remember the first time you stumbled across the words "aromantic" and "asexual". It felt incredible to find yourself in those descriptions. It felt like finally coming home.
Isaac asked you many questions and always showed a lot of interest in it. You had a feeling these queries had a deeper purpose than only getting to know you better. It turns out you were right when one day, as you were out to get some ice cream, he expressed his struggle with his sexual identity. He blurted it out and didn't add a thing, so you only said: "Cool, if you ever want to talk about it more, you know I'm here," and hugged him.
It wasn't until later that night that he told you everything about how conflicted he felt sometimes with his friends. Seeing them all so in love, and how in every book he ever read, that same love was everywhere. You talked until early morning, and it is still, to this day, one of your favorite moments you spent with Isaac.
You realized you were in the same class as three of his friends, Tara, Darcy, and Elle. You already were quite friends with Darcy, but through her, you got to know the rest of the girls better. That's how you started hanging with the rest of the gang. It was easy to understand why Isaac spoke so much about them and so highly. They were an amazing bunch, and each moment you spent with them made you even more aware of it. Still, that's also how you understood why Isaac sometimes felt irritated and confused about his sexual identity. They were all coupled up, and they all made adorable pairs. You were also painfully made aware of that fact when they started making jokes about Isaac and you being a couple.
They never said anything to your face, but you sometimes heard it before you joined them or simply because Isaac told you about it. At first, it felt funny since you and Isaac knew the truth behind those allegations. You were confident with your sexual identity, and you didn't feel the urge to correct them every time. Mainly since you knew it would maybe create some questions for Isaac. So you kept your mouth shut and respected when he asked you not to say anything.
As time went on, you noticed the change in Isaac's attitude toward them. You were walking home together from a movie night with the gang. Not so subtly, they encouraged Isaac and you to sit by each other and kept giving you 'privacy'. You ended up leaving early because he was mad and irritated, even if his friends didn't quite catch that and only thought their antics had created something between the two of you.
"Listen, I know you don't want to tell them anything, butโฆ"
"I told you it's fine."
"Yeah, but the thing is that it isn't. Isaac, you're starting to get irritated and annoyed around your friends for any little thing. I know it can be daunting, but I think they would be super comprehensive and supportive if you told them you were still figuring yourself out. They're not acting like that to hurt you. They just don't know anything about it, and you haven't given them the chance to react or educate themselves."
You walked silently for a while. You could see through his demeanor that he was slowly processing everything you said. You stopped in front of your house and looked at him.
"Listen, I'm sorry if what I said hurt you I-"
"No, you're right. I think it's time I told them. I've just been so scared. I don't know how to do this."
You felt your heart well up with compassion for what your friend was going through. After all, it wasn't that long ago you were entrapped with the same insecurities.
"You don't have to do this alone. I can help you if you want, and you know I'll always be there to support you."
A few days later, Isaac suggested you all have another movie night. You spent the previous day talking and deciding on a very tight schedule and plan for him to do his coming out. Everything would have to be perfect.
Everybody showed up, and the night went as planned. Except when the time came for Isaac to tell them, he flaked and proposed a game of truth or dare. You stared at him curiously, knowing he absolutely hated that game, but his panicky stare was enough to tell you, 'Go with it. I'm not ready yet.' So you put a bright smile on your face and showed the best enthusiasm you could muster.
The game was going smoothly. The dares and questions were actually fun. It was nice to get to know everyone better through this game. That is until the dares and questions seemed to be heading in a certain direction. It started with Tara asking you if you were into someone. Then, with Charlie daring you to kiss someone on the cheek. Not thinking about it, you kissed Isaac familiarly.
You knew it was the wrong thing to do as soon as they all cooed and started to exchange knowing looks. You could feel Isaac tense up, so you quickly moved on to the next person. That's when the damned bottle landed on him.
"Uh, truth, I guess." Second mistake.
Darcy jumped on the occasion without wasting a second. "Do you like someone in this room?"
He stared at her. Without saying a word, he debated whether this was the time.
"You have to answer! It's the rules." she giggled, painfully unaware of how much discomfort she was putting her friend in. Isaac's continued silence started to unnerve the rest of the gang. Finally, they were catching up to the underlying tension in the room. Darcy wanted to add something when Tara quickly shut her up with a killing look.
"Maybe we can choose another question? Or switch to a dare?" you started, trying anything to diffuse the pressure. Despite Darcy's protests, the rest of the group agreed with quick nods when suddenly Isaac exploded.
"No! I'm tired of this."
"It's okay. We can change the game if you're over it," suggested Elle, her gaze darting nervously to her boyfriend.
"No! That's not it, it's not the game. I'm tired of lying."
"I knew it! Y/n and you already are a couple," exclaimed Darcy.
You honestly loved the girl, but she could be so oblivious sometimes. Luckily, with the look Isaac leveled at her, she seemed to understand she couldn't be more wrong.
"Y/n and I are not a couple. We couldn't be anything farther from that. She doesn't view people like that."
Six pairs of eyes turned in your direction. You gave them an uncomfortable smile with your thumbs up, unsure how to react to what was happening.
"And- and I don't know if I do either. First, you guys kept pushing for me to be with James. Then, when I exploded about that, you stopped. Only to start doing it again when I introduced you to Y/n. I'm so tired of you thinking that when I talk to someone, it must mean I'm interested in them romantically. Aren't I allowed to have other friends? Aren't I allowed to not like people romantically?" He took a steadying breath and closed his eyes for a second. When he opened them again, he seemed more grounded. His friends kept staring in silence, knowing this was important. "I'm not sure what my sexuality is, but I would like to have the space to explore it without always feeling pressured to be in love. But that's hard to do when all you're talking about is matching me with someone. These thoughts have been even more confusing lately, especially with what happened with James." He paused and looked at you, this time with a warmth in his gaze. "Then I met Y/n, and it felt so amazing to be able to talk with someone about being aromantic and asexual. I never met anyone like her, and it felt so good to be given the space to question myself freely." His eyes went back to each of his friends' faces. "To get all worked up and annoyed without even telling you what I was feeling wasn't fair to you guys, but I'm trying to figure myself out. I know I'm not attracted to people the way you all are, and it just really sucks that you've been all pestering me about it. Fine. You couldn't know, but we act like we are all so open-minded and considerate of LGBTQ+ folks, but haven't we learned anything? We should not make guesses about people's sexual identities. We should leave them alone to figure it out. All I need from you guys is support in that."
His cheeks and ears had turned red from his passionate monologue, and it was when he finished that he took a final breath, finally letting go of everything bottled up inside his mind for so long.
Everyone sat there, shocked. Tao, Elle, and Darcy with their mouths slightly opened. Not because of what Isaac had told them but because of how he did. He usually was passive and avoided any form of confrontation. They all realized guiltily it must have been heavy on him to create this outburst. The silence stretched for a few seconds as if time had stopped. You gave your friend a proud smile before you concluded with a: "Yeah, basically what he said."
The sound of your voice seemed to awaken them from their trance.
"So Y/n," picked up Nick, "you're aromantic and asexual?"
You nodded with a smile, "You can also say aroace. Sounds cooler, in my opinion." You winked at him, happy to see the relief etched on his freckled face as he realized you weren't mad in any way at them.
"Isaac, I'm so sorry. I have been downright horrible to you. I assure you it was never in any way meant to hurt you. I should have been better. I will be better," spoke up Darcy. For once, the mischievous light in her eyes disappeared, replaced with seriousness. "I know what it feels like to be confused and feel pressured. I'm so sorry I didn't realize that's what I've been doing to you." She reached for his hand, which he gladly took, a smile slowly growing on his lips.
"I know you didn't mean it Dar, but I appreciate your apologies. As I said, I also wasn't the best communicator. I could have told you guys earlier and avoided all of this."
"Hey, you should never have to say anything if you're not ready to. We understand that, and we will all do better," added Nick with a quick look around the gang. Everybody nodded and smiled reassuringly at Isaac.
"And thank you, Y/n, for supporting Isaac and being there while we were being complete duds." Charlie stretched his hand to you, a timid invitation to be an official part of the group. "You're awesome. We're glad Isaac met you and introduced you to us."
You felt emotion flare inside your chest as Isaac wrapped his free arm around your shoulders.
"You guys can be pestering and oblivious little pricks, but I love you all to death."
Everyone linked up like a little human chain, either holding hands, touching, or wrapping one another in a hug.
Tao grabbed a handful of candy and passed it around so everyone had a piece. "Well, I suggest we end this with a toast. To Isaac, to Y/n, to self-discovery, and to holding each other accountable!"
You all repeated his toast with bright smiles and cheered before gobbling down your candies in a comical promise to do better for each other.

Hi!

pairing: walker scobell x fem! actress! reader
summary: you are getting ready for an audition, your boyfriend walker helps you through your anxiety
warnings: none! not proofread, just fluff! oh and some anxiety
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
you had been practicing for your audition all day. running over lines and blocking to make sure you got this role. tomorrow was the day you were waiting for, your audition for a character in heartstopper season 3. you were going to be auditioning for one of nick nelson's relatives.
all the stress had finally come over after many many hours of rehearsing lines. every time you messed up on a line you got super stressed and overwhelmed. you only knew one person who could fully understand what you are going through, and help you through it.
you grabbed your phone off your bed and instantly call him, your boyfriend walker. He had been through many auditions and could help you with this stress and pressure.
"hey baby", his voice flooded your ears. he picked up after the first ring
"hi walk", you responded, hoping he wasn't in the middle of his family dinner, since is was 6:34 pm.
"baby? what's wrong?" he sounded concerned.
"I'm okay, just a little anxious for my audition tomorrow", you told him.
"ohhh", he hummed, "do you want to come and eat dinner with me and my family then we can practice?'
he knew how to make you blush. he knew exactly how to make you smile after a hard day. "yeah! ill be at your house in like 25 minutes", you told him, already feeling better.
"okay, see you soon, i love you!!" he said, sounding excited.
"i love you!!", you said as you hung up, grabbed your script and went outside to the car.
----------
walker immediately hugged you when you parked at his families house, "hey baby", he said.
"hey bubs", you cooed back to him.
"my mom is making some dinner right now, then after i want to practice with you", he said while holding your hand and leading you to the dining room
"Y/N!!", you heard leena yell.
"leena!!" you yelled back as you hugged her, you missed her.
you sat and ate with the scobell family, they provided you so much happiness in a time of worry.
-----------
after everyone finished eating walker grabbed your hand and led you up to his room. you pulled out your script and handed it to walker.
"okay heres how we are gonna do this, if you get a line right, i give you a kiss", walker told you as he opened up the script book and turned to the page you were reading for tomorrow.
"okayyyy i guess that will work", you replied. you really wanted to get these lines correct now.
"first line, you ready?', he asked as you nodded in response. "hey guys! how are you?", walker said, imitating how it would be said on screen.
"so good, i'm amazing!", you replied back with a happy tone.
"correct. one kiss", walker said as he leaned in and gave you a quick peck on the lips.
this went on for about an hour and a half, you had acquired 27 kisses from your sweet boyfriend.
----------
"i'm really starting to get nervous for tomorrow", you told him.
"you are going to do wonderful, i promise!", he responded cheerfully.
"but you're just saying that to make me feel better", you could feel your heartbeat become faster.
"Y/N, i promise, you are the most beautiful, kind, talented, amazing, loving person i know-
"walker stop"
"no i could go on" he said as you leaped into his arms and gave him a kiss on his cheek. you were the luckiest girl.
"i love you so so so much", you said, you didn't have any words to truly describe your love for him.
"no i love you more Y/N, you are going to do so good tomorrow, they are going to love you", he told you as he swayed back and forth with you in his arms. "and even if you don't get the role, i still love you, and there are so many other roles that are perfect for you".
"i love you so so so much walker, more than you know", you said as he picked you up and spined you around. "thank you bubs"
----------
you woke up to a text from walker saying how proud of you he was, and how he loved you. you quickly sent a response and started getting ready for the audition.
----------
you showed up and your nerves came flooding back, seeing the director, casting director, etc scared you.
it was finally the time to audition, you thought you did pretty well and was excited for next week, which was when you would know if you got the role.
you texted walker again, telling him you were done. he replied saying that he was proud of you and wanted to hang out as soon as possible.
---------
you were with walker, it had been about a week since your audition, you were a little nervous but mostly excited.
your phone rang with a number you weren't familiar with.
"baby. wait is this it?", walker asked while looking at your phone.
"i think it is", you replied while answering the call.
"hello, is this Y/N?", you heard.
"yes! this is her!"
"we would just like to congratulate you on your role in heartstopper season 3!!! we just emailed you more information and everything you need to know. we are so excited to work with you!"
you quickly responded and hung up the phone, then turned to your boyfriend, who looked nervous.
"walker! i got the role!"
"oh my god! im so proud of you baby", he said as he engulfed you in his arms. you were so happy. one to have this loving boyfriend by your side. two to get to be able to be a part of this wonderful project.

Behind the predator (Kรถnig Hรญbrid!Bear x fem!Reader [Medieval AU])
You are a commoner with a large family, your life is the quietest as it can be for someone of your status. Until one of the many mornings in which you leave your home to collect fruits from the bushes in the depths of the forest, an arrow passes through your arm. You don't know, but the owner is Prince Kรถnig, a beast/bear hybrid, who will take you as his wife, even if you don't want it that way.
We will depend on each other' (Nicolas "Nick" nelson x Yan!Charles "Charlie" Spring)
Nick moved to France to study at university, leaving Charlie in the country where they met. Neither wanted to part from the other, least of all Charlie, but he could do nothing more than say goodbye and wish his beloved boyfriend a safe trip, which he would always keep an eye on.
In that span of time, Charlie developed disturbing tendencies that Nick would notice in the time they would both live together, in a house somewhat away from town. They would keep each other company forever.

"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 clichรฉ 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 faรงade 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.

Maybe f!reader is a tomboy (hate that phraseโฆ dresses traditionally masc and bummy almost always?) and has to dress up for an event with Nick (or maybe both of the boys doesnโt matter). And itโs not like she doesnโt know how to dress fem and do make up and hair, she actually can do it very well, she just doesnโt bother lol. But what would the reaction to see her looking like a fem queen for the first time be?
Just wrote things on my mind ๐๐ heโs adorable he loves you very much. | Headcanons w a scenario!
Nick Nelson:
Excuse him as he picks his jaw up off the floor, gets up off his knees after they collapsed and as he goes ahead to order a new heart because honestly. He just died.
Alright first off, he doesnโt mind what you wear of course, as long as youโre comfortable and nobody is forcing you to be who youโre not/force you to wear things youโre not okay being in
I think heโd be a liiitle conflicted seeing you awaken into your divine form, let me explain:
Number One: Heโs seen you in traditional masc looks that he thinks, โ??? Is someone forcing you to do this?โ and it triggers that LITERAL feral mode so youโd have to calm him down.
Number Two: You next have to deal with him hovering over you while youโre doing your makeup because not only is he fascinated he just canโt help take his eyes off of you โ as if he does on any other occasion but donโt say anything.
Number Three: He will plead to hold you like right as soon as youโre about to leave to the event ๐ โHold onโฆ you mean no cuddles before you leave?โ ,, โNick. I have five minutes to run to this event.โ ,, โLet me drive you?โ ๐ฅบ PLEADE?
Adding on the fact heโs absolutely adoring you while you expertly put on the makeup he asks you questions like, โDo you typically like wearing more traditional feminine things?โ, โDoes it make you uncomfortable?โ, etc etc
He kind of thinks of you as a new person but not in the sense he treats you differently from before, he just wants to brush up on some boundaries, ya know?
TEACH HIM HOW TO DO YOUR HAIR AND MAKEUP LIKE HE WOULD MELT ๐ฅน
For some reason he has a suit in your closet? So while youโre combing through your hair, you see his silhouette peek out behind your door through your vanity. โNick, honey, what are you doing?โ
He laughs suspiciously before widening the door, placing his hands on his hips and tilting his chin up. In all his glory stands Mr. Nelson, in a classic black and white suit. He wiggles his eyebrows at you and, โAllow me to be your king for the evening, My Queen.โ He then awkwardly bows.
It takes every part of you not to laugh nor yeet your comb at him. โWhatโฆโ Is all you manage to squeak out.
He then walks over to you, guiding the hand that was tangled in your locks into his own. He wraps his other hand around your waist, very much giggly. โI love this look.โ He plants a soft kiss on your forehead and it makes you flustered right off the bat.
โReally?โ He nods in affirmation, twirling you around your bedroom and admiring the way your dress flans out before resting back down against your legs.
He rocks you back and forth, sometimes giving you a spin. โDo you not like wearing dresses and makeup? Is this your first time looking this way and youโre just a first time expert at everything?โ He jokes but you hear the curiosity in his words.
โNot very often, if at all, really. Special events if they require it.โ You toss your comb on the bed before wrapping your arm around his neck. โAnd maybe I am, but not in this case. Sometimes I wanna wear makeup or just mess around with it so Iโve practiced here and there.โ
He pauses.
โWait have you been wearing makeup some of the times Iโve seen you and Iโve never noticed?!โ
Your grin. โMaybe.โ He scoffs and sighs in self-disappointment. โWhy?โ You pull him closer and give him a peck on the lips.
โBecause? Isnโt that something I should notice?โ You raise an eyebrow and he continues, โI donโt want you to feel as if your efforts are wasted by me not noticing.โ
โNick, if I ever feel like dressing up itโs not necessary for you to notice every bit of detail. Iโm content lazing around like a bum without all the fancies.โ He laughs at your words, โThough, seeing your reaction to this look definitely makes me think I should try a few other things someday~โ
โThat sounds sooo suspiciousโฆโ Nick narrows his eyes at you but you can see the faint blush on his cheeks. โCan I try helping you with your makeup or hair someday?โ
This surprises you and you crack a grin. โWould you like to be my test dummy as well?โ
โWhat?!โ
โWell as my boyfriend, I think thatโs an unspoken rule, no? Let your girlfriend give you a makeover, mhm.โ You nod like itโs law.
โIโve never heard of such a thing?โ
โWell yeah, I said itโs unspoken for a reason.โ
He looks so done with you.
In the end though, days you do feel like wearing things a little more feminine he goes shopping with you for different clothes, accessories, even those damn hair rollers.
99.9% gonna be confused as hell but heโs got the spirit and loves coming up to you with different things expressing how good youโd look thought he sneaks a cheesy comment, โYouโd look stunning in anything.โ With a shrug.
Takes every FIBER AND MUSCLE in your limbs to not jump this man with an uproar of kisses in the middle of the freaking store.
Either way he loves anything you wear even if you showed up one day to his house in a trash bag. He loves anything you do with your hair and look, hoping you feel satisfied in the results yourself.
(Also please bring him to that event youโre going to, he wants to show you off pspspsps like YEAH thatโs my lover mhm, yeah I know she looks like a goddess. Did you know she did this herself? A professional? She might as well be. โ drag him off before he can continue LMAOO)
Side note: Nick tries to act like heโs some posh fancy little man so, heโs insufferable with hisโฆ whatever you wanna call this; โAh yes dear, this dress looks absolutely divine on you, though you look exquisite everyday.โ or acts like the two of you are royalty. Just a silly little guy. That is indeed your boyfriend.
(Itโs a great distraction he loves to do if youโre not typically comfortable dressing up more feminine when the time comes)
ALSO COMPLETELY RANDOM but if youโre not comfortable wearing traditional feminine clothing Iโฆ LMAOO he would absolutely be the type of significant other that wears them along with you. You buy a new skirt (just for it to be locked away with the others fr) and heโs in the room when you open the package, right
Heโs like, โWhy donโt you try it on?โ
You explain why before pointing to the drawer at the bottom of your dresser before tugging it open and wow! So many damn skirts lmao, majority were given to you by some of the girls you know that say they didnโt wanna throw them away but werenโt wearing them anymore so itโs your responsibility now ๐๐ฅฐ
He asks if he can grab one, you shrug in confusion and he takes one. Five minutes later, explain to me why youโre both standing infront of your body mirror, both bare legged but twisting around in the skirts. You both donโt look bad ๐ Like Nick would say, you look absolutely divine.
In conclusion, he loves when you dress up and is absolutely starstruck by the different attires you wear but heโs faaaar from giving up on your usual style. He cheers you on when you go out of your comfort zone โ or even if it is in your comfort zone and you just donโt want to wear such things frequently, heโs still cheering you on!
He admires the way youโre very precise with your makeup, he admires how you style your hair and he carries the days you decorate your strands with different accessories (like flowers or clips etc) deep within his heart and donโt even get him started on your outfits. Even when youโre not dolled up he always thought your sense of style was really nice and even asks you often to help buy some more clothes for him or help pick out things to wear, aha.
Iโm sure we all expected it but no matter what you look like he thinks youโre absolutely talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, beautiful, gorgeous, charming, admirable, stunni-
cOUGH. anyways

Hearts Unleashed (Part 1)
Pairing: Nick Nelson x Black!fem!reader
Warning: Fluff, Smut in later chapters, Body Shaming
Words: 2234
Please interact and comment to keep it going. I always love to know what you think.
"What does this mean?" I stared at the piece of paper clutched tightly in my hand. My mom's eyes held an unmistakable unease as she replied, her voice tinged with worry, "This is our plane ticket to England."
Excitement bubbled up inside me as I glanced at the tickets. "We're going to England for a vacation! I had a feeling this year would be different. Do you think we can visit Paris while we're there? I heard it's just a quick train ride away."
My mom chuckled nervously, her laughter quivering. "That's the thing, honey, this isn't just a vacation; it's permanent."
My brows furrowed as I examined the ticket more closely, finally noticing the bold "ONE WAY" printed in the upper right corner. "What do you mean, one way?" Confusion washed over me, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
"It means we'll be officially moving to England. I applied for a new job there, and I got it," my mom explained as if it were the most natural thing in the world. She saw the panic in my eyes and hurriedly added, "I understand it's sudden, but I think this will be a great change for us. I've even found a fantastic school with an amazing film program that I know you'll love."
My mind raced. "I don't even know what to say. Why are you telling me this now?" My whole life was here in America, and the idea of packing up and moving to another country was almost too much to bear.
"Honey, I know it's sudden, but they called me today, and they need me to start immediately. That's why we have to leave tomorrow."
"Tomorrow! I don't even have time to pack, let alone say goodbye to my friends. We can't just uproot ourselves from LA and head to England." I looked around our apartment, a cozy haven that had been my home for the past seven years. It felt like things were finally getting back to normal.
I glanced at the ticket again and saw the fine print: Departing from LAX tomorrow at 10:45 am. "I should really start wearing my glasses," I muttered under my breath.
My mom tried to reassure me, "Everything will work out fine. I've hired movers to come during the week and help ship the rest of our stuff. Tonight, all we need to do is pack our personal things and head to the airport first thing in the morning."
I felt like I wanted to argue, but then I saw how tired my mom looked. Her face seemed really worn out, and she had a tired look in her eyes. It made me realize that maybe I hadn't been paying enough attention to how she was feeling lately.
I decided not to bring up my concerns because I didn't want to make things worse. I didn't want to fight with my mom when she already seemed so tired and stressed. So, I chose to keep quiet and let it go for now, even though I still had my worries.
As we stepped off the plane in London, the dark grey skies clouded my vision, and the unfamiliar air filled my lungs. Instantly, I began to miss home. With half of my life packed away in two large suitcases and three duffel bags, this was definitely going to take some getting used to.
"Have your other bags arrived yet?" my mom asked, her eyes darting to the time on her wrist.
"Sorry for making you wait," I replied with a sigh. "When you're packing your whole life into a bag, it tends to take a while." I was far from being in a good mood after only managing to grab a couple of hours of sleep, spending one of them writing an overly dramatic paragraph to my friends about where I'd be for the next few years.
"There's no need to get sassy with me, Y/n," my mom chided. "I'm just worried about the time. I don't want to be late for the shuttle. If we miss this one, the next won't be for another three hours. And I'm sure you don't want to spend that much time at the airport."
Before I could respond, I spotted my color-coded bags moving slowly along the conveyor belt. I collected them and loaded them onto a trolley, then couldn't help but add a mockingly sweet tone, "Now, we can go."
My mom led the way to the shuttle, looking a bit lost in the bustling airport. She approached a stranger for directions, and I listened intently, realizing I needed to get used to the distinct accent. My mom thanked the stranger urgently, and we hurriedly made our way to catch the shuttle, leaving behind the life I'd known in America.
Arriving at our new home in England I couldn't help that there was a mix of excitement and trepidation. I had seen pictures of the place, but it was entirely different to stand in front of it, knowing that it was going to be our home for the foreseeable future. My mom, ever the optimist, had put in tremendous effort to ensure it was the best flat on the block.
As we approached the building, I noticed the quaint charm of the neighborhood. Rows of terraced houses with colorful front doors lined the cobblestone streets. It was a far cry from the sunny, palm tree-lined avenues of Los Angeles that I had called home.
My mom had informed me earlier that her new job had provided relocation money, and she had spent hours researching and visiting potential flats to find one that met all our needs. She was determined to make this transition as smooth as possible for me, especially since I wasn't exactly thrilled about changing schools.
The flat itself was a cozy two-bedroom apartment on the top floor of a charming Victorian building. It had large windows that let in plenty of natural light, and I could see the spires of an old church in the distance. The living room had plush sofas, and I could just imagine the walls being adorned with artwork from home. She had even managed to find a flat with a small balcony where we could enjoy tea on sunny afternoons.
As we stepped inside, I couldn't help but be impressed by how homely it felt, despite being in a foreign country. My room, though smaller than what I was used to, had a window overlooking the quiet street below. I packed some of my posters and photographs from our life in LA, making it feel like a small piece of home.
As I unpacked my belongings, I couldn't help but reflect on the whirlwind of changes that had brought us here. My parents' divorce had been a long and sometimes painful process, but with me finishing up middle school, it seemed like the right time for a fresh start.
In my mom's perspective, this move was a chance for something new and exciting, a way to turn the page on a difficult chapter in our lives. But for me, I felt like I was just along for the ride, caught up in the decisions made by the adults in my life. It wasn't easy to accept that we were starting over in a completely different country.
While I tried to look on the bright side, I couldn't shake the feeling that my mom should have told me about it much sooner. The truth was that I was still deeply hurt and confused.
But as I glanced out the window of our new flat and saw the quaint streets of our new neighborhood, I knew that, in time, I would find my place in this new chapter of our lives. Change might not come overnight, but I was determined to make the most of it and find the silver lining in our fresh start.
โ-----
A whole week had passed, and I swear my boredom had reached Olympic levels. Our furniture from LA finally showed up a few days ago, and let me tell you, I became the world champion of room redecorating in record time. But apart from that impressive feat, my life had all the excitement of a cardboard box. School isn't kicking off until Monday, which gives me a gentle nudge that I should probably check out the film program my mom's been raving about.ย
Feeling all organized and responsible, I sat down and sketched out the route from our place to the school. It's like a 20-minute walk, which I can totally handle once I get the hang of it. But if I'm feeling a bit lazy (which happens, like, all the time), there's a nifty 10-minute bus ride option. Plus, my mom's still knee-deep in paperwork to send our car overseas, so it's official I'm becoming a bus pro.
Then I checked out the school's website, and the film program doesn't look half bad. They've got this YouTube channel packed with short films that are more interesting than binge-watching cat videos. And here's the real kicker they've got a partnership with Netflix! I mean, seriously, how did they manage to pull that off? They're talking about workshops and internships, and I'm just here thinking,
"Who's the magician that got Netflix on board?" That seriously is impressive.
Looking out of the window, I couldn't believe my luck the sun was actually shining for once! After days of nothing but gray skies, it felt like a small miracle. I was starting to understand that sunny days were a rare commodity in this place. So, I thought, why not make the most of it while I could?
I swapped out my usual outfit for a pair of comfy shorts and a cool graphic tee. In a flash, I was out the door, ready to savor every bit of that precious sunshine.
As I continued my stroll through the neighborhood, I stumbled upon a charming park nestled amidst the houses. The sunlit meadow was dotted with people, and what caught my eye was the number of folks out and about with their dogs. It was becoming evident that this was definitely a big dog-loving community, and the park was their social hub.
I watched as playful pups frolicked, tails wagging with unbridled enthusiasm, and their owners chatted amicably, forming a tight-knit community within the community. It felt heartwarming to witness such camaraderie, and I couldn't help but smile at the sight.
I stumbled upon the perfect photo opportunity, one that would fit perfectly in my collection. I'd forgotten my camera at home, but my trusty phone would have to do. As I aimed to capture the moment, an unexpected collision sent my phone tumbling to the ground.
Before I could get a word out, the other person beat me to the punch. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going," he said, hastily bending down to retrieve both of our phones. It turned out he had dropped his phone as well.
I felt a flush of embarrassment creeping up. "No, no, it's alright. It was my fault for standing right in the middle of the walkway," I replied, cheeks tinged with a hint of red.
He handed back my phone with an apologetic smile. "Sorry about that. Hopefully, it didn't crack," he said, his own cheeks taking on a shade of pink.
I shook my head, trying to conceal my own embarrassment. "No big deal. You might have done me a favor, actually. It's about time I got a new phone, and this could be the perfect excuse," I quipped, waving my phone playfully. The boy chuckled warmly.
"Thanks for not making me feel awful about it," he admitted, appearing relieved. "I'm Charlie, by the way." He extended his hand, and I shook it with a friendly smile.
I responded, "I'm Y/N. Nice to meet you, Charlie." The friendly atmosphere that had enveloped us earlier seemed to dissipate, leaving an awkward silence in its wake.
Charlie finally broke the silence, his voice tinged with shyness. "Sorry, but I can't help but notice the accent..."
I smiled, realizing his curiosity. "Oh yeah, I'm from America. We just moved here last week, right down the block," I stated, hoping to ease the awkwardness.
Charlie's eyes lit up with excitement. "Right down the block! I live right down that way." I couldn't help but feel my own excitement grow.
"I live where the new flats were built, I think they're called the Avalone Suites or something," I mentioned. Charlie's face instantly lit up with recognition.
"I live right across from you! Everyone around the block has been raving about the new building," he exclaimed,
As Charlie and I walked back to my apartment, he chatted animatedly about the neighborhood, sharing tidbits about the local shops, nearby parks, and the best places to grab a bite. It was clear he was friendly and genuinely excited to have a new neighbor.
During our conversation, we made another delightful discovery โ we were both going to the same school. It was a pleasant surprise that eased my earlier concerns about not knowing anyone in this new place.
By the time we reached my apartment building, Charlie had almost talked my ear off, but I didn't mind one bit. With a warm smile, I turned to him and said, "Thanks for walking me back, Charlie. I guess I won't be starting school completely alone."
Charlie grinned in response; his eyes filled with genuine friendliness. "Anytime, Y/N. I'm looking forward to seeing you at school."
We added each other on each other's socials before we parted ways.
