Summary
Charlie and Nick are in their mid twenties and both in relationships when they re-connect at the opening of Elle's art exhibition. They broke up 5 years previously just before Charlie started Uni. This story follows what happens when they find themselves back in each other’s lives. The concept is that the Nick and Charlie never had a fight at Harry’s party before Nick heads to Leeds. Without that fight, without the understanding of what it might feel to lose each other and without the healing conversations occurred following that, those problems would be kicked into the future – where distance and insecurities play a bigger role.
We know that Nick and Charlie are endgame though it’s just that this time – they take a lot longer to re-connect and there’s more hurt and mistrust to heal and forgive. They like to flirt with each other though, even when they both know they shouldn't.
"There’s a quick knowing exchange of looks between Nick and Charlie and the shared intimacy of that loaded glance, fills Nick’s heart a little. Charlie might not belong to him anymore, but he knew he had not forgotten. The details of their lives together still etched on his memory, every bit as clear as they were for Nick."

Summary
“So I was thinking it would be better if we just…broke up.”
“Why?” It was the only thing he could think of to say and Charlie looked shocked that he had said something so quickly.
“Because! Because, we should! It would be better if we broke up. For everyone.” Charlie implored.
“It wouldn’t be better for me.” Nick added faintly.
————————————————————
Charlie breaks up with Nick, believing them to be better off without each other.
Nick struggles, devastated to be without him, and determined to make it work.- Language:

Nick is adorable teaching little first graders. Charlie looks hot playing the drums. Nick looks hot surfing. They…ahem…enjoy Nick’s pool…and shower…and balcony. The boys weirdly get snowed in at one point. In Southern California, go figure. Nick helps Charlie see that he's deserving of big, loud love from a certain golden retriever person. Charlie helps Nick to trust that his love is not conditional, that he's safe to fully express himself. A leaves falling, flower petals swirling story of queer love with a spectacular ocean view 🍂🌊🍂
⚠️ This is NOT a slow burn. They feel the spark, follow it and make fire
Any explicit sections are denoted with “🍂🔥🍂”
Any triggering flashback, panic attack or detailed eating disorder moments with “🍂⚠️🍂”…so they can be skipped and the story still enjoyed- I’ve written it so no major plot is lost by skipping these sections 🫶🏻
Alternates between Charlie and Nick POV ♥️
