    Summary

    “Rugby’s been pretty intense,” Nick admits, arching an eyebrow. “Enjoying the view then?”

    “Always,” Charlie replies without missing a beat, though his voice is less teasing now. “Just…you’re okay, aren’t you? They aren’t working you too hard over there? You’re taking care of yourself?”

    There’s worry injected into each word. Nick’s throat feels tight. Is he taking care of himself? He hardly sleeps, doesn’t eat as much as he really should be with how hard he’s exercising, pushes himself more than ever at practice, and hasn’t made a single friend in nearly two months.

    But, none of that is anything Charlie can fix. He can’t change Nick’s course load or his rugby schedule or work, or any of it. He can’t force Nick to make friends or put himself out there. There’s nothing he can do so what is the point of burdening him with it?

    “Nick?” Charlie prompts when he doesn’t respond, now seeming flat-out alarmed more than worried.

    “I’m fine,” Nick says quickly, “sorry. I’m just really tired, Char.”

    Summary

    Short stories that follow Nick Nelson's school year (in the UK this runs from September to July)

    Written because I very much subscribe to Alice Oseman's vision of Nick and Charlie's future, where Nick is a teacher and Charlie works in publishing, and they are happily married.

    They've been written out of order so I've titled them to reflect where they fall in the series
