oatflatwhite: go ask for joy division | a nick/charlie future fic, rated T | 30k “I’m okay,” Nick’s learned to say in his sleep. Shake it off. Down a coffee. He’s okay. He’s Nick Nelson.But Charlie has laid beside Nick in bed and knows the way his elbows move when he dreams. Charlie has held Nick’s hand when it was bleeding at the knuckles and has kissed him in the pouring winter rain and has seen Nick, really seen him, from that very first day in form, better than Nick’s ever been able to see himself.The, “I’m okay,” is at the tip of Nick’s tongue. He swallows it back.“I’m trying to be,” he says instead, as honest an answer as he can stomach, then a little more: “this helps. You help.” OR, Nick’s first year of uni goes… well, it goes. It takes a while to figure out he’s not alone. -- source link
