Marriage, a Heartstopper Fan-fiction

Chapter Ninty Six Somethings off...

Nicks perspective
"Hey babe" Charlie said as he sat down next to me putting his hand on my thigh I flinched causing him to immediately withdraw his hand from my thigh. He shot me a confused look and I didn't do anything, he went back to looking ahead of us which was Tao and Elle asking Charlie and me when we're going to met up as a group together, Darcy's birthday was soon so maybe then Elle mentioned and everyone seemed to agree, I wasn't really present in the conversation I was listening in attempts to not think about what Tao said but it was so hard not too, I couldn't help but wonder if what he was saying was true, I pushed out my chair not paying attention to the others and started walking towards the loo as I walked past the table Charlie reached for my hand and grabbed it "where are you going" he said in a seemingly happy tone that had a hint of confusion. "The loo i'll be right back" I went into the washroom shut the door and looked at my reflection, was this really me why was I so chubby my legs were huge and my stomach was no where near flat my face even looked chubby were my cheeks too big was my neck too big was I too big. Fuck... I've never felt strong hatred for how I appeared in the mirror before, I mean i've been insecure and feeling like I look not the best, but right now I hated myself. Tears streamed down my face as I sat down on the bathroom floor feeling upset and angry with myself, why did I look like this.

Charlie's perspective
This felt weird, I didn't like it I went to talk to Elle and when I came back my happy boyfriend was gone it's like a switch turned off and he was now sad or angry with something, he was acting so weird he's never flinches when I touch him, when he got up to go to the loo he looked like he was on a different planet totally disconnected from earth. "Hello Charlie" Tao said well snapping his fingers in my face. Before explaining anything I just blurted out "Do you think Nick is acting off" Elle looked behind her to check if Nick was there like we were girls in high school gossiping about someone they didn't like talking about there trashy outfit or something stupid like that. "I do reckon he's a little... quite" she said looking upset. Tao rolled his eyes "Mates he's fine he probably just needs something to eat" Tao patted my arm from across the table, that did help me feel better, i'm probably just worrying for nothing like I always do, why do I always do this. "Charlie just check on him to make sure he's alright then you can stop worrying" I agreed and headed towards the restrooms, there was only one universal washroom so I knew he was in there, I knocked on the door "Nick" he answered "Yes love" Relief rushed over me he was fine and I was being a total nutcase fiancé. He opened the door and he looked fine but his attitude was off this wasn't Nick I could just tell, so what is it. "Are you alright baby" I said throwing my arm around his side well gazing up at him, he peered down at me and kissed the top of my head "I'm fine babe just tired" something in me didn't believe him.

We sat back down talking again with the other couple before the waiter came and asked "Hi how are you all today welcome to the sunshine café what can I do for you today" Elle ordered for them and I spoke up after can I get one plain green tea no sugar and a green tea with extra sugar and double cream" right as I said that Nick quickly changed it "Actually can you just make that two plain green teas no sugar" The waiter nodded his head with a disturbing amount of enthusiasm and walked off to carry on with his job. I turned to Nick who turned to me as he felt my eyes on him "What you don't even like that" I said as if I was asking him why he wanted that all a sudden. "I like it" he piped unconvincingly. I had never seen nick get a plain tea what is up with him maybe he has the flu, gosh I hope he's ok.

Time skip after they drank the tea

"Hi can I offer you guys the special for today it's chocolate fudge cake would anyone fancy a slice" Elle said yes we'll have two, I looked over to Nick tapping his shoulder and asking "Can you split one with me I don't want the whole thing" I sounded nervous because I was but I would be alright if Nick helped me through it I would be fine there's not that many people in the shop today. "I uh mm sh sure" he spilled out fumbling on his words was I crazy or is something going on. "we'll take a slice as well thank you" I said and the waiter hurried off to grab the cake. He came back right away with the cake I didn't fancy cake all that much but I knew Nick would want some but maybe I was wrong he seemed to not want it when we were ordering he sounded hesitant like he didn't know what he wanted, I slid the plate between us and took a bite "This is good babe have some" I said as my hands were shaking from anxiety, he slid the plate back to me "I change my mind i'm not really hungry anymore" That sounded way too familiar that's what I say when I don't want to eat anything was he avoiding it...
