Summary
Continuing one year after Desperate ends- this is the story of Nick and Charlie navigating their relationship, the growing intensity of it, and the physical distance between them during Nick's first year at University of Leeds.
*
“Not without you. With you. Not physically with you, but you’re going to be part of it, Char. I swear. I want you to. I want to talk about this with you because I’m so excited to include you. I want you to visit and feel at home. I want you to have a drawer with clothes and a toothbrush and I can get you all your fancy hair stuff to keep at my place so you don’t even have to pack a bag. I can’t stop thinking about the fact that when you visit, we’ll have the room to ourselves the entire time. No one will interrupt, no parents will text, nothing. Just you and me and our own space. We can talk, we can have sex, we can maybe try new things…I can’t fucking wait.”

Summary
“If Harry catches you he’ll only start up his shit again.”
There was panic in Nick’s eyes when he looked up. “He hasn’t said anything, has he?”
Charlie raised an eyebrow. “No.” Harry hadn’t said a word to him since that day. The whole team had backed off and left him alone actually, and Charlie was smart enough to know it wasn’t a coincidence.
Not that he would have cared if Harry did say something. His words no longer touched him. No one could faze him now, not when he had such an innovative way of taking out his frustrations.
“Good.” Nick visibly relaxed.
“But let’s pretend he did.”
Charlie is so over being on the receiving end of the rugby team's shitty, homophobic banter. Nick is more than willing to let him take back his power.

Summary
Nick is struggling with being bisexual in a world that seems to assume that straight or gay are the only two legitimate options. Call him a romantic, but he's not interested in hook ups and one night stands. He wants a relationship, with someone he can be his whole self with. And his true self is bi, and proud!
Charlie is struggling with trust and control after an abusive relationship in high school shatters his self esteem. His therapist has suggested he needs to find a hobby that pushes at his limits of being in control. Charlie thinks Geoff probably meant joining a band, or maybe rock climbing, and not seducing fit guys, who are way out of his league, for one night stands. Same results though, so what's the harm?
An aged up AU. Our two favourite boys are at the same Uni, but don't know each other yet. Until a chance encounter on a night out that ends up changing everything.
TW for mentions of self harm, ED, past SA/NonCon - nothing too extreme I hope, but they're definitely mention as part of Charlie's story. It's mainly fluff?
