On top of the world A Heartstopper fanfiction

Dancing with the devil

S/O must go to @Skylex1313 for their wonderful advice on how to finish this chapter your comment was exactly what I needed I just couldn't figure out a way of writing it down! 

PSA/AN: I am unsure if I am going to keep writing Rosalinda after this chapter though she may make appearances from time to time through the rest of this story I haven't quite decided yet. Note on the autism / ADHD representation I have decided to write Rosalinda as ADHD/Autistic all of the description of it in the small section that its mentioned in towards the end of the chapter is from personal experience and knowledge and searching information on the internet. That being said please PLEASE let me know if anything in that particular section is massively inaccurate or massively incorrect I will not take offence and will change it to the best of my abilities as I don't want to offend anyone! - if you do correct - please do so kindly <3

Nicks POV

As promised to Charlie, I texted Rosalinda, and Otis was also a big help. As I woke up the next morning, I felt dazed and confused for a second before realizing where I was. Otis, Christian, and Sai were on one side of Otis's living room, each on their own blow-up bed. Otis was on his phone and gave me a gentle wave from his bed, Christian was still asleep, and Sai's bed was empty. I peeked around the lounge door and saw that Sai was busy making a drink in the kitchen.

Looking down, I saw Charlie snuggled close to me, still fast asleep. I picked up my phone and read the time: Sunday, 10:30 am. My phone buzzed, and I saw that it was a message from Rosalinda.

The messages currently read:

Nick Nelson: Hey Rosalinda, I am still up for meeting tomorrow if you are. Maybe we could meet in Starbucks at round half one in town, the one across from the post office and WH Smiths. Lemme know... P.S. I am going to bring Charlie with me too! He would love to get to know you better! :)

Rosalinda's reply read: Hey Nicky Bab! Sure, that sounds like fun. I'll see you at half one. Hope you're having a great weekend! That sleepover with your friends looked suuuper fun last night, BTW. Wish I could've been there. Next time, eh? ;) xxx

I responded with, "Great, well Charlie and I look forward to seeing you at half one then!"

The response from Rosalinda remained flirty, but a sudden wave of relief that she didn't object to Charlie coming along washed over me. I hoped and prayed she wasn't that into me after all. She needed to know that I was taken and hopelessly happy being with someone who I cared about endlessly. All I wanted was her friendship!

"Who was that?" a small voice mumbled from beside me. Charlie was talking, but he still had his eyes closed.

"Rosalinda," I said simply.

Charlie slowly opened one eye and looked at me through it. "She's agreed to the plan," I said confidently, and this made Charlie smile. He leaned up and wordlessly kissed my cheek.

We were all up late but early to rise, as is usual on sleepovers. Otis's mum made pancakes for breakfast, which we devoured before Sai left. Christian, Charlie, and I stayed a little longer at Otis's, packing up and playing a few more games before leaving. Charlie won all the Mario games we played, claiming he went easy on us, but I didn't believe it.

After spending a good chunk of the morning at Otis's house, where he was put on standby if we needed any "backup" that afternoon, we took a slow wander into town at about half-past twelve, so we had time to spend together before meeting up with Rosalinda. Charlie browsed the stocks of Waterstones, we grabbed a quick bite in Wetherspoons, did some shopping before meeting Rosalinda.
