Who knows how many hours went past as Charlie read into each label making sure he understood each one clearly not only for his clients but for himself. He then heard the front door open meaning nick was home, Charlie had 15 seconds before Nick would find him. Charlie sprung up logging off and shutting his computer, wiping his face and making him look presentable as well as making sure that it did not look like he had been crying. "Char I'm home" nick holler as Charlie had cleaned himself up, with a few seconds before nick came into their office and hugged Charlie. "Hi baby" Charlie said as he met Nick halfway before kissing.
"How was your day? Anything exciting?" Charlie quickly asked after their kiss so he could come up with a plan on what he would say to Nick if he was asked about crying.
"Yea my day was good, the kids loved today's lesson as we are focusing on dance and movement. One child who isn't a fan of sports or joining, once they walked in they started dancing and etc as I had music on already. Their face instantly lit up and it made me so proud. I think I am going to involve more music and dance in my lessons, which will help them to join and feel comfortable."
"Thats amazing Nick, you really are talented and I do not think anyone could take the job you have because you are so kind, understanding respectful and caring to everyone that you are around. I am sure the kids love you too." The couple kisses.
"So how was your day char?" Charlie paused before saying something but it must have been a 45 seconds as Nick knew to always ask again if char pauses, spaces or blanks out for 45 seconds.
"Char?" Charlie quickly blink and said "huh what sorry" "I asked how was your day?" Nick putting his hands on Charlie's hips to ensure his focus remains. "Yea My Day was good but better that you are here" "aww me too, but Charlie I know when something is up. You can always come to me and tell me nothing bad will happen I promise" Charlie instantly fell into Nick shoulder and warping his arms around Nick's neck, knowing that he was right but couldn't get the words he wanted to yet. "Yea everything is fine I'm just tired and sad, I watched a video that was very cute but sad at the same time."Nick kissed the top of Charlie's head and started swaying side to side as this was also another thing that would always comfort Charlie whenever he was having a rough time, wether that's a panic attack, bad dream, a bad ED day as well as when in high school/ university he would SH however it's been a few years since his done that. "I love you Nick" "I love you too Charming"
