Fluffy story for properrugbynerd, who is a freaking treasure.
being internet friends is balls bc i'm holding all this affection in my dumb arms and i can't wrap it around somebody so i just have to pack it down into my bones and send another "lol so us" text until i explode. chewing on all the furniture in my house

Sooo, finally an update to my little angsty baby. I worked on this chapter for weeks and then I broke a perfectly good beta…
This picks up right after the concert of Chapter 1 ends (Chapter 2 was a flashback). Will Nick and Charlie continue to reconnect?
(Please, please mind the tags! Please!)
god I love this. 😭💕

~what happens after Charlie opens the door?
ahhhhhhh….. screaming, crying, throwing up, etc…
*pulls up to the fanfic drive-thru window* uh yeah, i’ll take a fake relationship with a side of mutual pining and thinking the other isn’t interested, thanks
#*bored author’s voice over the tannoy* d'you want fluff with that? (via @amarriageoftrueminds)
#sure and if you can throw in an extra “sharing one bed” trope, that would be great.
How much is it to supersize to smut?
So if you get smut and fluff from a drive thru where do you go for angst and dark?
That you order from the guy in the trenchcoat in the alley. “You want angst? I got angst”
*sticks my withered goblin paw out from under the bed* psst kid i got ‘they both think the other one is dead for like seven chapters’
Reader: “How much will that be?”
Author: “Just a comment. Please for the love of God leave a comment.”
“Do you take fanart?”
Author: soft crying… yea-yeah i take fanart. your change is everlasting love and friendship… is that okay?
The accuracy.
The “just a comment” as payment floored me.
THE ACCURACY
"Oh my god, I like you so much. And I love liking you."
I think this sentiment is a great summary of Nick-with-regards-to-Charlie. It's true from the very beginning.
At the same time as Nick is terrified of his feelings for Charlie, he is, in a way, not bothered by that and is even happy about his feelings. Or, at least, the Charlie of it all is very happy for him.
There are many instances of this, where Nick is visibly confused or surprised or scared (or all three) about how he's feeling, but he smiles before, during or afterwards, and of course he continues to seek Charlie out, spend time with him and be into him. What's happening may be unfamiliar and scary, yes, but it feels good.
And then we have this scene:
In Nick's face we see a beautiful moment of realisation and maybe resigned acceptance, with no hints of the typical happiness to balance it out. In this moment, it's no longer about Charlie or Nick's feelings for specifically Charlie. It's now about Nick. And that's scarier in a deeper way.
What do his feelings for Charlie mean for Nick, for his life, for his sense of self and identity, for how Nick sees himself and how others will see him?
The titular refrain of Orla Gartland's "Why Am I Like This?" of course starts playing at this moment, implying that's what Nick is thinking: "Why am I like this?", with a further implication of, "What's wrong with me?"
It seems like such self-doubt, and self-recrimination, even.
Nick could back down here. He could put his thoughts aside, do something else, bury his feelings. But he doesn't. He maintains his determination, immediately taking action to try to figure out what's going on with him and better understand himself. Even though he's scared.
This is an example of one of my favourite things about Nick: He may be scared, but he doesn't let that stop him (or if he does, it's never for very long). He may be scared, but he loves likes Charlie Spring, and he loves liking him.
I really really love this breakdown and analysis. Yes. Charlie is so brave. But so is Nick. 💛💙
ahhhh, this is my favorite thing I’ve seen today. 🥰 🐶
