Summary
Nick was uncertain of a lot right now, he was scared of a lot, but the one thing that terrified him the most was losing Charlie. He wished they could hold onto this forever, these roads, this trip, this feeling. Them, together, in the same city.
It kind of scared him how much he cared for his best friend, which likely tied into why he was so scared of telling him the truth; that he was in love with him.
___
OR: Nick and Charlie go on a road trip the summer before university, finding themselves and eventually each other along the way.

Summary
Nick looked up and stuffed his hands into his pockets, rocking up onto his toes. “Um, maybe I’ll see you around?”
Charlie took in the man one more time, eyes roaming his face that was pulled into an expecting smile. It was hard leaving knowing that realistically, they wouldn’t stay in contact. He appreciated the sentiment, but Charlie wasn’t dumb, he knew where this was headed; nowhere. “Yeah, maybe.” He smiled a smile that he knew was fake, a smile Nick probably didn’t quite believe either before he closed the door behind him.
----
Or: A look into the same day each year over the span of six years as Nick and Charlie figure out their lives, themselves, their friendships, and what they truly want (spoiler alert; each other).

Summary
“Hi, sorry to bother you, my mum wanted me to bring these–” Nick was rambling, looking anywhere but him with a tea in one hand and a croissant in the other. But, once his eyes landed on Charlie, he saw the realization flood him. His eyebrows shot up and his mouth opened and closed a few times, words trying to escape but nothing coming out.
“Charlie,” Nick eventually said, a soft smile forming on his lips.
“Nick,” Charlie responded, the name felt all too familiar on his lips. It came out soft and breathy, just like it did all those years ago.
----
A look into healing, change, and finding home not in a city, but in the people within it.
