***

Summary
In this aged-up AU, Charlie never told Nick that he'd been in love with him for a decade, until it blew up in their faces during a fight. After thirteen months of not speaking, Tori calls Nick to tell him Charlie needs him, and Nick drops everything to care for an injured Charlie.
Charlie broke his ankle and can't put any weight on it for five more weeks, which means needing help. Something he would rather die than ask for. Then, as if he's dreaming, Nick shows up when he's falling apart and vows to take care of him. It doesn't matter that they haven't spoken in over a year, all that matters is that Nick is there and holding him close.
But the feelings that nearly destroyed them are boiling under the surface. They need to figure out how to navigate the new them--even if that means reopening healed wounds. (This has a very happy ending don't worry!)

Summary
Nick and Charlie have been best friends and roommates since they met at physiotherapy two years ago. To cheer Nick up after a hard week, Charlie volunteers to draw a new tattoo design on Nick’s shoulder. While sitting on his lap. Platonically.
They are both extremely chill about it and absolutely no one is bi/gay panicking at all.
OR: They were roommates until they were roommates

Summary
Nick gets hurt playing rugby (How original, I know) and we'll see how he struggles to heal, both physically and mentally.
We end up with an angsty Nick, who has to deal with some of his own insecurities and issues. He doesn't need to be taken care of, it's his job to take care of others. By the end, he will end up realizing that he needs other people (mainly Charlie) as much as they need him.
Basically, I kind of wanted to explore what it would be like if Nick was the more vulnerable or "hurt" one and Charlie gets to be the strong/badass guy we know he's gonna be some day.
There will be angst and drama, but there will 1000% be a happy ending. These two boys deserve it.
PS: The main story I wanted to tell is complete, but I'm not done here. I'm going to be writing various epilogue chapters, that jump ahead to various points in time, which will tie back to the main story.

Summary
“Fine,” Tori agreed, knowing that calling back-up would be the closest thing that she would get to an agreement before opening her contacts, clicking on the name that belonged to the closest person with a car.
It just so happened to be the same person who would do anything and everything for Charlie.

“Honestly,” Nick says, dumbfounded, “It’s like I’ve never been home alone before.”

When Sarah goes on holiday, Nick and Charlie are left to play house.
(A story about house rules, rom-coms, invisible strings and Charlie being Sarah's favourite son).

“He’s just so worried, Tori. So worried. So worried.” Charlie let his head roll to the other side and back again.
Tori swallowed. “What about your arm, then?”
Charlie looked down at the sling. “Rugby?”
“You haven’t played rugby in over twelve months.”
“Details!” Charlie scoffed.
