Summary
“I understand having a hard time. You know that. I’m never going to be mad at you for struggling. I just don’t like to see you making it worse.” I shake my head to clear away the speech I’m already building to. Nick is too drunk for it right now, and I don’t know what good it could even do at his most sober. Nick doesn’t cope well with emotions. I know this. He knows this. We’ve been talking about it in circles for months now.
Uni's a lot harder than Nick anticipated. Assignments. Rugby. Being away from his boyfriend. Coming out to his new flatmates. For years, he's been a shoulder to cry on and a sympathetic ear, but if he's going to get through this next phase of his life, he's going to have to learn to accept the the help he's so used to giving.

Summary
Most people knew this about him, most of his coworkers respected his nods or otherwise silent greetings and didn’t bother to try and converse with him.
All except one Nicholas Nelson, of course.
Nick was a morning, afternoon, mid-afternoon, and night person. Much to Charlie’s chagrin, Nick was a never-off-even-for-a-single-second-of-the-day type person.
And, boy, that irritated Charlie to no end because no person should always be that cheerful and happy and full of conversation.
(or ENEMIES TO LOVERS OMG FINALLY! Happy endings for all!)

Summary
Charlie likes quiet things. Predictable things. Things that follow rules. After years of trying to fit into a world that never made space for him, he’s finally carved out a life that feels… manageable. He works in a small bookshop, keeps to himself, and journals like his therapist suggested—just to keep the edges from fraying.
Nick is all warmth and easy smiles—everything Charlie doesn’t trust about new people—but something about him lingers..
A slow-burn, autistic/queer romance about finding safety in shared silence, love in small gestures, and the courage it takes to say yes—even if only for one night.
