Marriage, a Heartstopper Fan-fiction

Chapter 133 Rugby Lads

Nicks perspective
I walked into the front office of Truham, Everywhere I looked I got reminded of something. From memories to feelings it was all coming to me, I couldn't stop my mind from wondering, even though I had an important talk to have with some rugby lads. I stopped walking the halls even though I wanted to go take a look into every class I used to have especially mine and Charlie's form one class, that's the very spot that started out our future together. That was my favourite class I looked forward to going to school just to spend that hour long period with my best friend that soon turned into my secret boyfriend, that turned into just my boyfriend, Once I finally realized who I was and that I was ready to come out our relationship blossomed and became something truly special. I had to stop myself again from going down to that class it was so tempting to just get a quick glimpse of it but I needed to sort this out first, these boys deserved discipline, the discipline that the boys who picked on Charlie never received, I refuse to let that happen again, Im finally an adult who truly has a say in situations like this, and i'm not going to let my voice go un used.

I walked through the gym and stopped to look at the trophy case it hasn't changed since I went here, Coach sing did say when we won the final game all those years ago that no other rugby team in Truham history won as many games as us and I guess that's still the case because our pictures and our trophy's were still being displayed front row and centre. It so weird to see the pictures, I was already getting déjà vu just being in the school gym again but seeing theses pictures made me feel as if I was back here coming to practice with the lads. It hasn't been that long since i've been here but then again it's been a super long time. "NICK!!!!" Coach sing said excitedly I smiled at here faintly but I wasn't really happy to see her how could I be in a situation like this her team was beating up my little brother, I managed to take some pictures of Oliver's torso and his completely bruised arms before I left to show her how serious this was. "Hi coach" I said very blankly showing no emotion because I knew if I did let my emotions take over I would be screaming at her. "What brings you here" she asked obviously picking up on the fact that I wasn't here for a reunion but in fact for a much more serious reason. "I want to talk with the rugby team if that's alright are they practicing right now" She nodded before saying "Yeah there on the pitch right now, you can speak with them, if you don't mind me asking why" she clearly had no clue what was going on with Oliver "All of the boys on the team have" she cut me off by saying "been giving him a hard time? Come on Nick you know what Rugby lads are like if talk with them about it, it'll get worse" I took a deep breath trying to force my self not to yell "Been giving him a hard time? really is that what you think, they haven't been giving him a hard time they've been practically assaulting him" I pulled my phone out from my pocket and showed her the pictures. Looking at his body made me sick, how could they do this to him, the purple flourishes of colour filling up 95 % of his body and the other 5 % being taken up by slight yellow tints made it obvious that he had been getting beaten up for awhile now. She gasped covering her mouth with her hand in shock "I'm so sorry...  Oliver is a remarkable boy and player, you most definitely can talk with them, i'll be heading to the office to report this right now and trust me when I say there all off the team AND are permanently banned no next season nothing they're done" She left heading towards the office, and I headed the opposite direction towards the pitch.

Charlie's perspective
"You ok sweetie" I asked placing my hand on Oliver's shoulder from behind him, he flinched instantly feeling my hand brush against his shoulder. "I'm so sorry Ollie I didn't mean to scare you I wasn't thinking, I should have been more considerate knowing what you've been through" he faintly smiled at me showing me he wasn't upset with me even thought I felt like the worst brother ever. "It's ok Charlie Im not mad or anything it just caught me off guard" I looked at the time not knowing when he ate last, not knowing when I ate last, thinking of it now me and Nick haven't eaten anything today, it's been so crazy that we didn't have time to think about food. "How about I make you something to eat" I asked. Oliver quickly answered "It's ok I can make something I usually" I cut him off "Well there will be no more usually, of course you can cook but your not excepted to cook yourself and others every meal, your a kid Ollie you just turned 13 give yourself a break" He gave me a hug "Thank you Charlie" I rubbed his back "Of course angel how does chicken sandwiches sound" his face lit up "You remembered my favourite food" he said sounding surprised I jokingly put my hand over my heart "OF COURSE I did i'm offended you thought I wouldn't remember that!!! tori used to make you those every single day I couldn't forget even if I tried" all of a sudden Oliver's facial expression changed and for the worse "I love Tori" he said almost in tears, he missed her so much, I took his hand and squeezed it "I love her too buddy" I completely forgot I need to talk to Tori, tonight...

Nicks perspective
I walked onto the pitch and all the boys collectively started whispering and pointing to me before rushing over, they all stood in front of me and one kid asked "Your Nick Nelson the captain of the team that won the most games Truham has ever won" another kid said "Coach sing says you could've gone pro" I snap at them "I'm not here to answer questions i'm here to ask them, do you know a boy named Oliver" judging by the look on there faces they now knew why I was here. "Since everyones quiet i'll talk, he's my Husband's brother i've known Oliver since he was around three he's always been a little brother to me" I looked at everyone they knew they were in shit, the pale blank expressions spread across everyone of their faces. "You guys probably wouldn't know why I was so angry when he took off his sweater and his arms and torso were completely covered in bruises and funny enough he said that you guys did it" None of them were going to deny it which probably was a good choice. "Touch, no even look at Oliver in a way he doesn't like and i'll make sure every single one of you gets charged with assault understand me! now stay the fuck away from him and don't try to contact him" They all nodded their heads and I just about spit in there faces I needed to leave I was way too angry to be around anyone right now.

Authors Note
I can't even begin to think about what's going on in the "Heartstopper community", many people are bashing heartstopper fans but the actual fans aren't the ones who forced kit to come out because they aren't fans if they did, it's the people who watch the show and aren't really attached to it nor in the fandom, that are causing all the problems within the community, us as the community need to try our best and spread love/ acceptance that's the whole point of heartstopper so let's not say the Heartstopper community is toxic because the real community never would have done that to kit, or all the other things people have said about bash and joe. I have a few hundred heartstopper mutuals on tiktok and I know that they would never do anything like that the heartstopper community is beautiful and a place that feels like home, it is my home and all of you are family so let's spread positivity and help kit through this and put the blame not on our community but the people who are actually doing these disgusting things <3 xx
