Marriage, a Heartstopper Fan-fiction

Chapter 123 Party Flashback 3

Charlie's perspective
I was standing here awkwardly crossing my fingers behind my back in hopes that I would be on the same team as Nick so I can follow behind him so I don't get tackled, basically using him as a human shield, but of course he decided to randomize the teams, why he couldn't have just picked them himself I don't know... I feel like the world is out to get me sometimes and this definitely feels like one of those times.

"Ok and Charlie your on team blue" of mother fucking course I am, I walked over to my team and felt instantly intimidated and small most of the guys didn't like me but Christian was there and Nick says he likes me so I guess that made me feel a bit better. "You better not lose this for us fag and don't stare at us ethier you don't have a chance with any of us because rugby players aren't fags" I was getting fet up with Harry I scoffed and looked at him "If fags aren't rugby players then why am I here you dumb ass" he laughed "Your not even a rugby player i've never seen you tackle anyone and your just an alternate" I hesitated but shot back "Well I can tackle! Nicks shown me I just haven't used my skills yet" he smirked "Fine then I bet you can't tackle hmmm let me see Otis he's the best player besides me and Nick" I don't know what I was thinking in this moment where the confidence came from but I regret it "I'll do one better i'll tackle the best on the team Nick" Harry dropped down to the ground and started hysterically laughing "You think you could tackle Nick he's like twice your size your a twig Otis is a twig too that's why I suggested him I thought you maybe had a 5% chance at winning but now you have a 0% chance" I didn't go back on the bet I couldn't now, what was I thinking "Your on" I said and the whistle blew.

I ran to the other side it was pouring rain now and everything was slippery I felt my cleats sliding across the grass as I ran. I saw Nick he was going for harry and wam he took him down. Shit this was a terrible idea and all I can hope for is that Nick goes easy on me since i'm his best friend.

Two rounds have gone by and I haven't gotten the chance to tackle him yet. We only had one round left and Nicks team was up by one they only needed one more goal. This was my only chance. "Good luck your going to need it" harry says laughing as he pats my shoulder welts running by because the final whistle has blown. I stood on the sides and watched for a minute when Otis caught my eye he just tackled Christian whom was much bigger than him and he tackled him from the side when he wasn't looking that's exactly what I need to do! it gives me the upper hand. I saw Nick he was on our field now weaving through various players trying to stop him they just weren't fast enough, I knew I was fast enough to catch him and that's what I was going to do with all my force I ran towards him he was running straight ahead to the goal and I was running horizontally across the field towards his side. I reached him right before got to the goal and tackled him, he feel to the ground me landing on top of him I heard the gasps from other player and heard Harry yell "I TAKE IT BACK MATE WAY TO FUCKING GO" I heard a few other player cheer me on but I didn't care about them I was now really worried about Nick did I hurt him by accident. He looked up at me and smiled my whole body felt butterfly's we were so close I wish he would just kiss me.

Nicks perspective
I was suddenly slammed to the ground I didn't even see anyone coming they tackled me from the side all I can say is wow good thinking and when I remove my face from the dirt and look to see who's on top of me I feel my heart skip a beat my face is a bright red color and i've never felt more nervous in my life, Charlie did it I couldn't be more proud of him but being proud of him wasn't the only thing I was thinking I was thinking how cute he looked how absolutely insanely cute he looked, that's when it hit me... I like Charlie Spring, he looked down at me and I smiled back and all I wanted to do was fucking smash my lips against his. I've never kissed anyone besides when I was 13 or wanted to kiss anyone like I did right now this feeling was eccentric.

Charlie shuffled off of me and offered me a hand up I grabbed his hand but not in a usual way I wanted to hold his hand if I was his boyfriend I interlocked my fingers with his craving the feeling I got when I touched him, Charlie was the most amazing and the kindest person I've ever met why did this have to be so complicated why couldn't a male and male have the same rights a male and a female have it just wasn't fair, why did it have to be so scary. "I'm so proud of you Charlie your amazing... I mean erm that was an amazing tackle" I can't think straight all of a sudden that just slipped out. He laughed and nervously put his hand to the back of his head "Thanks I mean I learned from the best" I didn't want to hide this anymore I couldn't do it I wanted everyone to know that I liked Charlie most of all I wanted Charlie to know that I liked him. I placed my hand on his shoulder, my hand was visibly trembling I was so nervous i've never felt more nervous this was my chance I needed to go for it "Charlie I need to tell you something" He looked at me puzzled and as I was about to say it, Harry and the rest of the team came running over to where Charlie and I were standing, chanting "Charlie Charlie Charlie" over and over. They picked Charlie up and held him above there shoulders As they carried him away he said "Talk at the party tonight?" it was said as more of a question than a statement riddled with confusion as to what was going on. I simply just nodded as the boys took him away to flustered to make the words I wanted to say come out. I guess our moment will have to wait tell the party later.
