          The ideal date night for them ran something like this: out for dinner then back on the worn couch under a warm blanket at Nick’s house by 9:30 pm to catch a movie on the tele (or a Marvel movie, depending on how much Nick felt like torturing Charlie).The week had dragged by, but Charlie related this to the fact that they had a date Friday. He knew Nick was looking forward to that night, the stress of Uni admissions was wearing on him. Nick needed a night to decompress with his favourite human. Charlie’s thoughts were peaceful. He felt better than he had in years. But something lurked in Charlie’s subconscious mind, some shred of doubt.It was a crisp night, April 29 to be specific."Hurry up, Charlie. Your boyfriend is here,” Tori called from the steps.“Coming,” Charlie yelled down, throwing on a pair of dirty white converse. Charlie took one more look in the mirror; he threw his coat over a brown t-shirt, red flannel, and black jeans. He ran down the stairs, taking them two at a time.Tori called out the door to him, “Have fun.”Nick had recently gotten his license, so he insisted on driving them. Everywhere. Not like Charlie was complaining at all. He did have some reservations on the music choice; there had to be something besides Taylor Swift. But, Charlie was developing a liking for her music. He felt as though their relationship was reflected in a lot of the songs.“Hi, Char! Good to see you.” Nick was dressed in light jeans, a blue jumper- it was still chilly out- and of course his black vans. He reached over and tousled Charlie’s black hair. Charlie did the same.“Hi,” replied Charlie.Nick put the car into drive, and they headed off to their first date night in a very long time.~~~~~~~~Dinner went by in a blur. They had what Nick would call a “feast of champions”: plates filled with fried fish and chips. They talked about everything and nothing all at once.“I’m just saying, she is one of the best singers, songwriters, performers, and humans literally ever,” Nick argued.“I know but-”“No. Don’t say but. We both know you were fighting against singing along on the way here.”“I guess I can concede the fact that her music is good,” Charlie said with an exhausted sigh.“Thank you. Never slander Taylor in front of me again, or that’ll be it between us,” Nick teased.“Wow, first name basis! I’m deeply offended,” Charlie exclaimed, putting his hand to his chest. “All this time and you’d drop me just like that.”Nick laughed. “The heart knows what it wants.”Charlie looked over and saw another happy couple wearing wedding bands. He could hear them talking about how thankful they were for a night away from the kids. They looked happy, holding hands without fear. The woman reached over and fixed her wife’s hair, sneaking a kiss while she was leaning over the table. Charlie wondered if he and Nick would ever make it that far. What if something happened while Nick was at Uni….He was quickly brought out of his head when the waiter stopped by with their check. The boys put down their money and gather their things.“I’m completely and utterly stuffed. No. More. Room,” Nick complained as they walked down the shore.“Same here. But, there is an ice cream shop just up ahead. You think you could make some room?” Charlie asked.Nick was surprised. He knew what Charlie went- and still is- going through with his eating disorder. But, he managed to eat almost all his dinner, so he wasn’t going to deny Charlie an ice cream.“I suppose so,” Nick replied, grasping Charlie’s hand within his.They walked down together, cheeks growing red from the wind. When they reached the shop, Nick ordered for them.“One bubblegum and one chocolate please.”“Coming right up,” said the shop worker as they turned around to make the cones.“Nick, I still can’t believe that you ordered that awful flavour. It’s a crime against one’s taste buds.”“Mr. Spring, you just don’t have good taste buds then,” Nick said as he placed money on the counter in exchange for their dessert.Eating their ice cream, they went down to the waterfront. Charlie grasped Nick’s hand and dragged him down to a table. As soon as Nick sat down next to him, Nick’s shoulder was taken over by Charlie’s head.Sitting in silence, Nick looked down at Charlie and a smile quickly spread across his face. He never would have imagined that he would be lucky enough to get a person like Charlie, and he could never imagine life without him.They finished their ice cream, and Nick looked down at his phone. The screen said it was 9:00.“Ready to head back Char?”“Yeah, I think so.”Heading back to the car, Charlie stopped Nick just as they were about to leave the beach area. He linked his arms around Nick’s neck and brought him down to a kiss. Their lips melted together as Nick’s hands went to Charlie’s waist.After a while, they separated, needing air. Charlie stared up at Nick and the thoughts started springing up.
  He doesn’t actually love you. He’ll leave you for someone at Uni. He’ll never look back.
Nick looked down at Charlie and saw his brow furrow. He instantly grew worried.“Charlie, what is the matter? Are you alright?”“Yeah,” Charlie said as a smile filled his face. “Let’s head back home.”Nick and Charlie walked up the stairs, headed to the car, and got in as soon asNick unlocked the door. Nick pulled out of their spot and started the drive back to his home, still worrying about his love.~~~~~~~~Nick parked in the driveway. He got out and went to unlock the door, Charlie following close behind.“Hey mum, we’re back!” Nick called out as he shut the door behind them and locked it.“Hello you guys! Come on in, I’m in the kitchen,” Sarah called back. The kitchen was toasty, and Charlie could see a batch of cookies just out of the oven. Nicked reached over to grab one but Sarah swatted his hand away.“Don’t you dare touch these. They’re for the bake sale tomorrow. Now, would you two like some tea? I can pop the kettle on?”“Yes please, Ms. Nelson. It was freezing tonight,” Charlie said, sitting down at the table and shedding off his coat. Nick held out his hand for Charlie’s coat and went to hang it up in the hall. He came back shortly after and plopped down next to Charlie, thighs touching.“How was it?” Sarah asked, turning off the oven and grabbing two mugs.“Great!” They said at the same time.“Just cold,” Charlie added with a smile and a glance to Nick.“I’m glad you two were able to enjoy yourselves. Nick has been swamped by admissions,” Sarah said as the kettle screamed at her.Charlie’s smile fell for a short time. He quickly brought it back as Sarah turned around, thinking no one would notice. Nick did, and he slotted that information away.“Here you boys go. I’m heading out for a little, but I won’t be back too late, ok?”“Sounds good,” Nick said, grabbing the steaming mugs and taking them to the tele room.“Thank you so much Ms. Nelson,” Charlie said as Sarah was gathering her bag and shoes.“You are very welcome Charlie. And please, call me Sarah.”“See you mum,” Nick said as she closed the door. He grabbed a blanket and joined Charlie on the couch. Nick flipped through Netflix for a while before settling on Miss Americana, his favourite documentary.“You know,” started Charlie, “I’ve never actually seen this one. Is it good?”“What do you mean, of course it’s good! I’ve watched it at least 5 times so far,” Nick said as he plopped down next to Charlie, snuggling up right next to him and tossing the blanket up in the air, allowing it to fall down right over top of them.Charlie leaned against Nick’s chest. One of Nick’s arms snaked around his waist while the other aimlessly played with Charlie’s hair. They sat like this for a while, content with just each other. However, despite the calmness of the night, Charlie could feel his heart start to speed up. He tried his best to calm himself, toying with a fidget ring gifted by Nick a while back.About halfway through, his mind got the best of him.
  He’s going to leave soon, might as well break it off now. I mean look at you, you’re a complete mess. How could anyone even possibly have any semblance of feelings for you? Nick doesn’t care for you at-
“Charlie?” Nick asked in a soft voice, shaking him back into the moment.“Yeah?” Charlie could barely make out, tears threatening to spill over onto his face.Nick sat up straighter, pausing the tele. “You looked like something was bothering you. Do you want to talk about it? We don’t have to right now, but please know I’m always here to listen ok?”Charlie sat there for a moment, staring off into space. Then, the dam broke. Salt streamed down his face, leaving marks as the fat tears fell off his chin and onto the blanket they shared. His chest started heaving up and down as he tried to control his breaths. The room was starting to tilt, his vision blurring.He tried to do that breathing technique Geoff taught him, but nothing was sticking. Nick recognized this as one of Charlie’s panic attacks. He grabbed Charlie’s hand and put it against his own chest, breathing slow and deep as he held it there.“Charlie, can you try and breathe with me?”Charlie could barely manage a nod, but he tried. For several minutes they breathed in and out together. Once Charlie’s breathing slowed, Nick engulfed him in a tight hug.For a few moments the two sat there holding each other tight; neither wanted to let go and separate first. Charlie sniffled and pulled back, wiping his cheeks.“Sorry I ruined your jumper. Look, it's all wet now.”“Char, what did we say about the S word? And you didn’t ruin it, it can very easily be washed. What is going on in that beautiful head of yours?”Charlie took a deep breath. “I was thinking… well… I-” His eyes began to well up again. Taking one more deep breath, he spits it out.“I’m worried about us. You’re headed off to Uni and I’m happy for you but I’m worried you’ll find someone better, never look back, and realize you never even loved me in the first place.”Nick just sat there, stunned. He never, and would never, feel or think any of those things. Nick leaned over, wrapping Charlie in a bear hug, placing his head under his chin and kissing his forehead.“Char. I have loved you for a long time now and will continue to love you forever. I’m worried about Uni too, but I won’t be too far and you can come visit me anytime. Soon you’ll be off to Uni to do wonderful things only Charlie Spring can do.”“You say that now, but what if you find another person who is much better than me? What then?”“I firmly believe you are the best person in the world. No question there. And I could never imagine finding someone else who makes me feel the way I do when I’m with you. I love you so much Char and I could never imagine life without you.”“But distance is a big reason most couples break up. How do I know we will be able to handle the long distance?”“I can not know for certain the distance will be a breeze. Let me promise you this: I won’t break things up between us just because of a few hour car ride. You mean so much to me and I want to continue to put effort into our relationship.”Charlie sighed, leaning closer to Nick.“I know. It’s just a lot.”“It is for me too. But we’ve been through a lot. I know we can make it through this.”Nick leaned down, pressing his forehead against Charlie’s. He kissed Charlie, pressing their lips together. Charlie sighed into the kiss, his hands traveling up and twisting into Nick’s hair. Nick’s hands slipped down to Charlie’s waist, pulling him closer, deepening their kiss.As the kiss broke apart, Charlie felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him. He laid his head in Nick’s lap. Nick’s hand automatically went to Charlie’s hair, twisting around the curls.“I love you.”“I love you too. We’ll be fine, I have a gut feeling we will,” Nick said, as Charlie drifted off to sleep. Nick succumbed to his own exhaustion not too long after.They longed for moments like these. These quiet, calm nights where it’s just them, where nothing else in the world mattered.'
