On top of the world A Heartstopper fanfiction

Sunrises

Charlie's POV 

4:47 am 

Somehow rather easily I had managed to convince my parents with the help of Sarah to let me stay over at Nick's last night as long as I promised I was in work on time the next morning but I was saddened to find that when I flipped over to cuddle my boyfriend Nicks side of the bed was empty but still warm, we hadn't gone to bed that early last night so I was shocked and fairly surprised he was already awake with my eyes closed I patted around the bed for a second before sitting up slowly "Baby?" I say scratching my head, running a hand through my hair and letting myself be woken up slowly but there is no reply 

As my eyes adjust to the light I can't help but smile Nick is sat at the window which is situated at his desk admiring the sunrise his head propped up on his bent elbows a cup of coffee crammed on his desk amongst his revision supplies and other belongings, the glow of the morning light framing him picture perfectly Nick looked good usually, but something about sunrise was really working for him "mon amour?" I call again still no reply giving up trying I shuffle my way carefully down the bed to where Nick is sat I run my hands over and down his bare  shoulders and chest and our hands connect and I start kissing down his neck and shoulders "mmm hi..." he mumbles clearly enjoying the attention as he tilts his neck allowing my better access "hi" I say my lips pressed against his skin "did I wake you?" he asks bringing my hand to his lips and kissing it "no, was just surprised to see you missing" I admit Nick chuckled "well I hadn't gone far just enjoying the sunrise, care to join me?" he asks pushing his chair out backwards and I gladly join him 

Nick sighs happily rubbing a small circle in my thigh with his thumb "that sunrise is insane isn't it" he says almost breathlessly, the sky was a red orange colour laid on a bed of clouded morning mist and sky it almost looked fake "it looks like a painting" I mumble absentmindedly "it looks like an explosion a really cool explosion" Nick mumbles against my neck continuing to kiss the same spot gently 

"What's the time?" I ask getting myself comfy on his lap as we hold on to each other like our lives depended on it and we continue to watch the sunrise "about ten to five I'd guess" Nick says pressing a gentle kiss to my lips "Did you sleep okay?" Nick asks "mmm" I say pressing my forehead gently against his the slight damp feel I get off his cheek makes me ask "Did you sleep.... at all?" there's a long pause as Nick tries to find words  "No not really" he admitted picking up and taking a sip of the last dregs of his coffee. As the light hit his face the bags became clearer and his face seemed longer "have you had any  sleep?" I ask rubbing a thumb over his cheek the silence this time is longer... I knew better than anyone what lack of sleep looked like so he had no chance hiding it "no" he said trying to keep his voice steady "do you want to talk about it?" I ask running a calming hand through his hair 

Nick shakes his head and kisses my palm as my roaming hand runs down his cheek "Not right now" he says shakily "what I do want to talk about" Nick says pulling me closer if that was possible meaning I now had to straddle him and he is placing a kiss under my earlobe "mmm" I mutter "is you" he says "what do you want to know Nelson?" I ask Nick stays in the same position behind my ear paying it special attention "What time do you start work today?" Nick asks "Seven so I'll have to leave here at half six at the very latest" I inform him "So we have a decent hour and a half good to know" Nick mumbles as he adds small hot circles into my hip bones with his thumbs "y yeah" I say trying and failing to keep my voice steady as Nick hits his pressure in every place perfectly. 

Before I feel this going any further, Nick smiles, kisses me again for a long time, and says, "breakfast?" slightly bewildered that's his suggestion. I nod and stand up, throwing Nick a t-shirt and putting my own one back on. We creep downstairs, given the time and the fact that his mom doesn't work on Monday. We tried to make as little noise as possible, Nellie trotting along beside us.
