harry greene's party but they don't get interrupted 

Nick POV

I run my fingers through my hair as my eyes scan the crowded room. I see a familiar head of curls and start hurriedly pushing my way through the crowd. He looks up just as I'm about t reach him and beams out a smile.

"I've been looking for you"

"I've been looking for you"

A sly smile spreads across his lips as I break out into laughter.

He grabs my hand and drags me towards a less crowded room. We sit down and start talking about anything and everything. My eyes every so often drifting towards his lips as he talks.

Just as I'm about to suggest we go somewhere even quieter I feel a hand on my shoulder and look up to see Harry smirking down at me. Charlie's face immediately drops.

Before I know it I'm being dragged over to Tara Jones.

"Hey" I mutter, rubbing the back of my neck.

"Nick Nelson, long time no see" she smiles up at me

"Yeah, yeah long time." I reply halfheartedly "Look I just wanted to say-"

"Nick, no none of that. Don't worry I'm not into you." She laughs "That's my girlfriend over there" She nods her head towards a tall blonde standing in the corner.

"Oh, Tara I'm so happy for you" I say genuinely

We continue to catch up a bit before she's dragged away by Darcy, her girlfriend, and my eyes immediately float back to the couch I was sitting on not long ago but one thing is missing, Charlie Spring.

I wander around the loud main room, eyes scanning for any sign of Charlie when I finally see him sitting by himself on a couch.

I make my way over and grab his hand without a word and lead him upstairs to a quieter room.

"Hey sorry about that, Harry was hellbent on me talking to Tara"

"Its ok" He replies, smiling lopsidedly up at me.

"Its pretty intense down there"

"Yeah, Harry must be like" he waves his arms around "mega rich"

I laugh at him and sit down on the floor, leaning against the wall and he quickly joins me.

After a couple beats of silence Charlie says "So Tara Jones?"

Laughing, I say "No, no not Tara, just because we kissed once three years ago doesn't mean we're soulmates"

Charlie nods and smiles before continuing, "So no crush?"

"Well I didn't say that."

I see a glimpse of something flicker through his eyes, an unreadable yet saddened expression seeping into his eyes.

"Who is she then?"

I swallow harshly, looking away from his face. "You assume they're a she?"

"Are they not?" I hear the surprise in his voice. I hum in response and he continues, "Would you date someone who wasn't a girl?"

I close my eyes and let out a shaky breath "I, I don't know"

I hear him shuffle closer before grabbing my chin lightly, "Would you kiss someone who wasn't a girl?" he whispers.

I open my eyes and stare directly into his, "I don't know"

"Would you kiss me?"

"Yeah."

Without missing a beat Charlie leans in and kisses me. I lean into his soft lips, lifting my hand up to tangle in his curly locks.

We pull back for air before quickly kissing again, the feeling of his lips against mine is addictive. We remain like this for what feels like an eternity before breaking away, Charlie's head falling to my chest.

I kiss the top of his head.

"I really like you Charlie Spring"

"And I really like you Nick Nelson"

***

We stayed in the room upstairs, cuddling the whole time before Charlie had to be picked up. With one last long hug he walks to his dad's car with the promise of hanging out together the next day.

I shake my head and smile up at the sky, I am completely and utterly gone for this kid.
