nick and charlie: love is the strongest force

chapter four

Tw: mention of Tyler, smut

"So nick Mrs singh told me about what happened between you and tyler." he says

"O-oh." Nick looks down

Nick was unsure of what to do or say. He doesn't want everyone knowing.

What if Mr Barnes is gonna tell everyone else, what if he will tell his mum, what if he tells charlie

All these thoughts spiralled around Nick head

"Nicholas?" Mr Barnes says, pulling Nick away from his thoughts

"Huh?"

"I was saying that we will give Tyler an external exclusion for two weeks," he smiles

"Right yeah okay" Nick nods

"Okay, thank you for coming here now. Go to your first lesson, " he says."What lesson do you have? "

"Uh, english," Nick says, standing up

"With who?"

"Miss Rosemore," Nick picks up his bag and puts it on his shoulder

"Okay, I'll email her saying you were with me. If you are late, that is"

Nick nods and heads for the door

"Have a good day," he smiles

"You too," Nick says as he leaves

As Nick walks out and pulls out his phone and goes on to Charlie's contact, then texting him

Text: Can we meet up in the toilets? I wanna see you xx

Nick waits a few minutes before charlie replies

Text: Yeah, of course, baby, what ones? xx

Text: maths block? xx

Text: On my way, see you in five xx

Nick smiles at the text and puts his phone back in his blazer pocket, then makes his way over to the maths block toilets

He walks into the toilet, puts his bag on the floor, and sits on the edge of the sink, waiting for charlie

After a few minutes, charlie walks in closing and then locks the main door with his bag on his back

"You okay?" charlie says, gently giving his boyfriend a sympathetic look

Nick nods slowly before looking up at charlie

"Yeah, I just missed you." he smiles softly

Charlie gave Nick a smile in return and walked over to him, standing between his legs and hugging him gently. This action was very awkward as Nick was still sitting on the edge of the sinks, making him taller than he already was, so charlie couldn't hug him properly

Nick places his head on charlies shoulder as charlie rubs his back. They were both in a comfortable silence before Nick broke it after a few minutes

"Tyler's getting suspended," Nick says quietly

"Oh, why?" Charlie replies

Nick shrugs and looks at charlie

"Well, at least he'll stop looking at you and annoying you for a while." charlie smiles

"Yeah."

Charlie looks at Nick and gently kisses him

After a few seconds, they both pull away, looking into each others eyes, both knowing that they want to keep going
