A Load Of Random Bollocks

Summary:

Nick’s feeling nervous. The thought of that yellow Bag for life, along with its contents, has been haunting him for a while now. Surely his new boyfriend is used to receiving much better presents?

From the Could Never Be Me universe as a teeeeeeny tiiiiiny epilogue/drabble (if you're here wondering what the fuck I'm going on about...)

Notes:

So, it may not be Christmas, but here... please have a load of random bollocks from me!

Work Text:


 

An early Christmas present.

I've already had mine, wrapped up in my sofa-throw instead of metallic paper and ribbons.

“What's this?” Charlie looks stunned. On the back foot. Maybe I should've waited. Maybe I should've scrapped the entire fucking thing altogether. 

“A load of random bollocks, to be honest.”

Fingers lift the red lid, eyebrows knitting, and I’m embarrassed. No idea to why I thought he'd want my scarf, an old fag butt and a Post It note. And it's not like he can't buy olives at Tesco.

 

“Nick!” Charlie laughs loudly. “You absolute dork!”

 

It’s alright.

He remembers everything.
