Charlie's perspective
I rolled over as the dawn glow was creeping into our bedroom I put my hand over to pull Nick towards me but he wasn't there "Nick" I said as I opened my eyes but the covers were lifted on his side and the bed was empty, I got out of bed despite it being extraordinarily early to see what my poor fiancé was worrying about now, i'll be grateful when this is over it sucks seeing Nick so flustered and stressed about this. I'm also starting to think his anxiety isn't just due to separation of the two of us, I think he may just have anxiety he stresses about a lot of things and it seems to be getting worse... or maybe i'm just being my over thinking self and im just over thinking it.

Charlie walks out of the twos bedroom with his long socks and shorts he's not wearing a shirt as it's been quite warm this past few days, of course his black curly locks were a mess he hasn't tidied himself up in the washroom yet this morning. He walked into the kitchen to see Nick sitting there at their oak table sipping on a morning cup of tea looking pretty tired. Charlie walks up to him placing his gently touch across Nicks back "What are you doing up love you don't need to be there until 10:00 am it's 5 in the morning, you went to bed late last night you should still be in bed" Nick smiled and looked at his fiancé who was standing behind him "Are you giving me a lecture" he said. Charlie frowned and crossed his arms "Yess I am because you need sleep and you haven't gotten enough your going to be really tired and that's no way to be on the day of your interview" Nick rolled his eyes at his fiancé as he scolded him for not getting enough rest "Alright Mom" Nick said poking Charlie in the stomach.

Nicks perspective
I was extremely tired I was just so scared I couldn't shake it, I hate that i'm this way I was so scared my hands were trembling and I could cry at any moment from emotional exhaustion, I've worry about it nonstop since I agreed to go to the interview, Charlie lead me by the hand and opened the covers for me I got under and he pulled the covers over me, patting the covers beside me to tuck me in, he leaned down moved my hair away from my face and kissed my forehead "I'll wake you up soon that will leave you plenty of time before you need to go, I'll get everything sorted you need to stop worrying and get some rest darling, i've got everything else covered" I closed my eyes as I listened to Charlie's beautiful voice, he made me feel calm and I started to fall asleep again.

Charlie's perspective
Nick closed his eyes and I left the room I was pretty tired but I want to get everything ready for him so he's not stressed, he'll probably be there for a long while so i'll pack him a lunch and I'll read the email Ron sent him telling him what the dress code for today was so I could
prepare an outfit suitable. Most people would complain if they were asked to do this for there fiancé well they slept but I was overjoyed to do anything for Nick, I never see doing something to help him as a chore i'm happy to make his life easier. Im happy if he's happy and he does the same for me we do it for each other because we love one another. I don't like cooking, it's a stressful experience for me so thats why I avoid it but maybe it was time to try and combat that fear, Im not the best cook so I stuck to the basics Boiling water and throwing some noodles in the pot then cracking a can of tomato sauce to put on top, I tasted the noodles and they were done, I strained them put them with butter into a sealable container topping it off with the sauce, I closed up the container and put in the fridge for nick. I checked my email and the dress code was wear whatever/casual because he would be given clothes to wear for the interview shoot, I went to our bedroom to make sure he wasn't sneaking his phone and was actually getting some rest, god I did sound like a mom. I peered through the door way and Nick was sleeping his mouth was open and his hair was a mess but he looked so perfect, I took out my phone from my shorts pocket and took a picture he just looked so cute with his one leg out of the covers revealing the lime boxers he was wearing and the covers drawn up close to his face, his face that was partially covered by his blonde hair sticking out everywhere, the hair that was in desperate need for a trim well that's what he says I like it long because sometimes when we're laying in bed and he's fallen asleep on my chest or on my arm I put tiny little braids in his hair so when he wakes up he knows I was playing with it. He'll go up to the mirror and will smile as he's taking them out he loves it and I think that's the only reason he's restraining from a hair cut.

Charlie set an alarm in his phone placing the rectangular device down on the bed side table and gently hoping into bed with the one he loved the most, the one he'll always love no matter what, he slowly inched closer and snuggled his way underneath his fiancé arm feeling the warm sensation Nicks body heat was providing him, as he drifted to sleep.
