Marriage, a Heartstopper Fan-fiction

Chapter Eight Supportive Gay Friends!!

"Hi this is Charlie Spring speaking"
"Hi Charlie are you calling to reschedule your appointment on Friday with Mr Geoffrey?"
"No, actually I was calling to see if I could book my boyfriend in with a councillor"
"Okay..... Mr Timothy is looking for new clients I can book him in there."
"THANK YOU! that would be great"
"His full name please"
"Nick Nelson"
"Does this Saturday work from 1:00-2:00pm"
"yup sounds great thanks again Martha"
"Not a problem at all Charlie bye for now"

Nicks perspective
"Nick Nick" I hear Charlie yelling in excitement from our living room. When he was on the phone I left the room I don't know why but I just couldn't sit there and listen to that conversation. I walk to the living room as slowly as possible without making it noticeable. "Did I get on the waiting list?" I say to Charlie. "No better Martha got you in this Saturday" He says with an unbearable amount of joy in his voice. In my head I was thinking oh goody that is sooo much better than the waiting list NOT! I reply to Charlie "I guess that's good news" Charlie pulls me on his lap cradling me like I do to him. I lay my head down on his chest and wrap my arms around his torso. "I promise you'll be ok, It's not scary" Charlie says well pulling my hair back and rubbing my forehead. I didn't say anything because I knew it was going to be ok, but that didn't change the fact that I was nervous. One thing that made me feel better was knowing how much Charlie cared for me, I don't know how I got so lucky to be with someone that would literally move mountains just to make me feel a little bit better. After we sat there for awhile Charlie slaps me on the back a few times and says "Come on you big baby time to get up" I get up slowly and say "wow good joke Charles"  Charlie looks at me and says well laughing "You look tired is it time for a nap" "That's it" I say well picking him up and throwing over my shoulder. "Now who's laughing" I say well grinning "Fine! you win now let me down" Charlie says in a whiny voice. I put him down and give him a kiss on the head, he stands there with his eyes closed waiting for his kiss on the lips. We kiss and as I pull away I look at him straight in the eyes and say "I really love you" he opens his eyes and says "I know and I really love you too."

Time skip - later that evening

Nicks perspective
Charlie and I were cuddled up in our warm blankets on our king sized bed all bunched up into one conner. Whenever Charlie was even a centimetre away from me I always pulled him in as tight as possible, I loved the feeling of his heartbeat, his hair, his small arms wrapped around me, the weight of his head on my chest, and his legs intertwined in mine. This was my favourite feeling. We were watching a horror film because Charlie wanted to, he always wanted to, I liked horror but the jump scares almost give me a heart attack every time. We were watching the conjuring I HATED ghost story's they always creeped me out, I nestled my head into Charlie chest but then I heard a "ding" oh that was my phone someone must have texted me. "I'll be right back i'm going to go grab my phone in the living room" I say to Charlie.

Nicks perspective
"What took you so long, I missed your cuddles" Charlie says well opening up his arms for me to crawl into. "I was texting Tara I told her about the councillor thing and how I was really nervous, and she suggested we all go and get lunch before my session" right as the words left my mouth I realized I didn't even ask Charlie before agreeing to the offer. I was a horrible person Charlie hates restaurants and they make him so stressed, I should have asked him.  "Shit! omg Charlie i'm so sorry I should have asked you before agreeing....but it's fine if you don't want to go we can just cancel." he smiles before saying "No don't be silly we should go, you seem excited about" I sceptically say "are you sure?" "yes of course I want to get better at going to public eating setting and if I don't try I will never get better" "If you change your mind at any point promise you'll tell me" I say. "Yes I will" Charlie says. I can't help but to think back to a few days ago when he threw his waffle in the garage when he thought I wasn't looking. "Charlie I saw you the other day throw out your waffle" he looked away, I could tell he was ashamed that he had relapsed to that point again. "I'm sorry" he says "No your not allowed to say that word you know that. That's my number one rule" I pulled him in close and stroked his back with my hand "Your ok" I whisper to him, he then pull himself even closer to me and we fall asleep like that.
