Chapter Text

Nick trudged his way upstairs, only answering to his mum in bland, monosyllabic mutters, a stark contrast to his usual happy demeanor.

What was wrong with him?

That was the only question in his mind when he found himself locked inside his room, tucked away in the corner with PJs, a beanbag, and his laptop.

His cursor blinked in the search bar, taunting him.

Go, do it, now.

The voices were back.

He inwardly groaned before finally googling the forbidden question that had been in the back of his mind for weeks.

He typed.

This was so stupid.

He pressed enter.

Well, what was that supposed to mean?

He didn’t realize the tears welling up in his eyes until he looked down at his phone, the pictures of Charlie dim and blurred.

i like girls but now i like a boy????

He didn't search that last one.

It was three in the morning when he finally shut his computer off. 

Even with all this questioning and confusion, there was only one actual fact:

Nick Nelson likes Charlie Spring.
