    Summary

    Charlie doesn’t have an issue with Nick being straight. Nick is very sweet and caring, and a great best friend.

    The only issue is that Charlie, against his better judgement, is falling in love with him.

    or: Nick and Charlie meet as they move into a flatshare. They quickly become best friends and everything is going great, except... Charlie is utterly smitten. And it seems like Nick needs tons of physical affection to thrive. Constantly. Repeatedly. And Charlie is the only person around.

    Charlie doesn't mind. That's what friends are for, right?

    Summary

    Nick and Charlie meet in their 30s at work. Charlie has been working there a while and Nick is the new hire he has been tasked to train. Charlie assumed Nick is straight and tries to ignore all the awkwardness and flirty he assumes is in his head. It gets adorable when Nick finally finds a way to tell Charlie exactly why he insisted on walking Charlie home every night for two weeks.

    Very adorable alternative version of how Nick and Charlie become Nick and Charlie.
