Holding you like this

Let us cling together

Charlie awoke the next morning, Nick curled up next to him. He turned as Nick rolled over, his eyes opening "Good morning." "Good morning," Nick yawned, clinging to Charlie who was now cuddling him tight to his chest. Nick's back was to his chest, but his arms were still under his pillow tightly "You've got work today, my love." "Mmm, okay." He got up, walking into the bathroom, getting ready. He got ready in half an hour and made his way downstairs to make himself a drink but Charlie was already at it and making him a tea "Thank you," "It's alright, my love." Nick nodded, looking at Charlie "Everything okay, love?" Charlie asks, sleep rumpled and perfect "Yes," Nick says breathless, taking a sip of his drink.

Nick looked up at Charlie with a smile, leaning against the washing machine in the kitchen "We need to talk." "Okay, about what?" "Us Charlie, we're not working. I saw on Lewis' Instagram story a few days ago of you and him, what is going on?" "Nothing is going on, we're friends." "It didn't look it, he kissed you Charlie!" "Don't you think I know that!" "Lewis fancies you!" "I know he does, and there's no coming back from this now." "I know, what are you talking about?" "What should I have done? Gone after Lewis when he kissed me," "I saw you kiss back, I was driving home and I saw him kiss him." "If you want to be angry at someone, be angry at me." "I really thought me and you were forever," "We are." "Nick, we're not." Charlie slid off his wedding ring "If you really want one of us, pick one, Charlie, me or Lewis? Call him, bring him round so we can talk. I'm taking the day off to do this." Charlie walked out of the kitchen, calling him.

20 minutes later, Lewis got to their home as Charlie opened the door as the dark blonde tried to kiss him but he backed away "Just get in." He hissed, dragging him in by the arm, sitting him down on the sofa with Nick who looked at him "Who will it be Charlie? It has to be one of us." He took his wedding ring from the coffee table, holding it in his hand "Charlie listen to me, the main question to ask, who's a better kisser? Kiss both of us, go on." Charlie walked over to Nick, placing himself down in his lap, tilting his head up. Nick's eyes softened, cupping his face, brushing his lips against his lover's. Charlie deepened the kiss, his arms lifting to wrap around his lover's neck, pulling him closer and into a world of their own. It was a happiness they had build together, and in moments like this, there was absolutely nothing more perfect. They pulled away after two more minutes and looked at each other with warm smiles.

Nick looked at the brunette, helping him get off of his lap, lowering him to the floor "Who is it then?" "Lewis, out you go. Take me off of your Instagram, remove and block my number, and just don't talk to me or come up." He huffed, getting up, slamming the front door. Charlie sat on the sofa beside Nick who handed him his wedding ring back, sliding it on his finger. Charlie moved to grab a pillow from the top of the sofa, placing it in Nick's lap, lying his head down. 

Nick stroked his hair slowly as he looked at him "How about you go and have a shower and I'll get out a pair of your pyjamas for you to wear?" "Okay." The two got up, walking upstairs together. Charlie walked in the bathroom, turning on the shower, he closed the door behind him. He stepped into the shower as Nick came in, setting his pyjamas down on the toilet seat, running his hand through his hair as he walked out of the bathroom, walking back downstairs to start on breakfast.

10 minutes later, Charlie came down in the warm pyjamas Nick laid out, he made his way into the kitchen where Nick was making pancakes "Feel better?" "Yeah. Thank you," "It's alright," Nick walked over to him, lifting up and onto the counter as the brunette smiled when Nick stood between his legs. Charlie got an itch and scratched his nose "You're adorable." "Shush!" He squealed, getting up "Are they almost done?" "Almost, what do you want on them?" "Do we have any more biscoff spread left?" "In the cupboard, what else?" "Banana." Nick got them both, cutting the bananas into the small pieces.

The two had breakfast together and once it went down and Nick washed everything up, he walked over to Charlie who was kneeling down by the cabinet in the living room. He climbed onto his shoulders as Charlie stood up, getting his phone from the table, walking out into the hallway, taking a picture of them both. Nick soon lost his balance, falling forward for the mirror. Charlie caught him as his limbs turned weak "I think you need to sit." "No." He was unable to respond as he lowered Nick onto the floor as he was doing nothing else than wiggling his fingers. He grabbed his phone, going on his call logs, calling an ambulance but they said they're busy and the wait was an hour and a half.
