Nick POV
I think Charlie is having a bad day. When he's having bad days he tries to hide it but I can tell. He didn't eat lunch today. I thought things would be better but it looks like maybe he's in a rough patch again. I care for him so much, I hope he knows he can tell me if he's having a bad day. I'm gonna try and talk to him about it when he comes around my house later.
Charlie POV
Today has been horrible, hopefully Nick will make it better. I don't want to burden him with my issues so I'm just gonna act happy for him. I wouldn't want him to worry about me. I would just... Hate that. I didn't eat lunch today and I think he noticed, but hopefully he doesn't ask about it. I just... Don't feel like talking about it...
---------------------------
Charlie rings Nick's doorbell. Nick opens the door.
Charlie: Hi...
Nick: Hi...
They go up to Nick's bedroom. They get on Nick's bed and Charlie snuggles up to Nick.
Nick: Hey, Are you okay today?
Charlie: Yeah of course... Why?
Nick: You just seemed off today and you didn't eat lunch.
Charlie's expression becomes sad when Nick mentions lunch.
Nick: I'm just trying to look out for you. You know you can tell me anything right?
Charlie: I said I'm fine can we just relax now?
Nick: Charlie, I can tell things aren't right with you today. If you were honest with me I could help you. You're worrying me...
Charlie begins to get a bit angry
Charlie: Do not worry about me... How many times do I have to say it... I'm fine
Nick: Charlie please... Be honest with me I'm trying...
Charlie: I am! Can we just drop it!
Nick: Please don't yell Charlie... I'm just looking out for you...
Charlie: Well I don't need you to treat me like I'm some fragile broken mess! I can handle myself!
Nick: That wasn't... I'm sorry Charlie...
Charlie gets up from the bed and picks up his bag
Charlie: I'm going home
Nick: Charlie please let's just-
Charlie: I'm going home Nick!
