    Summary

There, he meets Charlie Spring; sarcastic and self-assured and a little bit lost himself. It’s amazing what six weeks, near-constant rain and a little bit of opening up can do for you.

    Summary

    “Wanna practice kissing again?” Charlie whispered, warm breath infused with Moscato and sweet berries tickling Nick’s ear.

    Nick’s eyes, dazed like peering through a veil of melted honey, widened.

    “I–” Nick breathed, gripping the cup in his hand with so much force he thought the plastic might crack. “Yes.”

    “Yeah?” Charlie asked, batting thick, dark lashes up at Nick’s flustered expression. “You don’t have to say yes, you know.”

    “I can’t imagine ever saying no to you."


    or, the one where nick has his first date with a boy and is nervous about what comes afterwards. charlie, his best friend, offers to help.

    Summary

    Charlie looked shyly around the circle of other patients waiting for the therapist. He felt his jaw slacken as his eyes focused on the startled face of the man seated directly across from him.

    A man he recognised.

    Nick Nelson.

    At least, he was pretty sure that was Nick Nelson staring back at him. He looked a little worse for wear, but Charlie supposed he wouldn’t be here if that wasn’t the case.

    Adult Nick and Charlie meet in inpatient. A story about hope, and the beauty that lies just on the other side of pain.
