Nick's pov:
Me and Charlie have been going out for 2 years now. I would like to believe I know him better than anyone. To be completely honest I think I do, so I always know when something is wrong with him. Like today, whenever I saw him in school I just knew he was having a bad day. In form he was so tired he just layed his head on my shoulder. Then at lunch he didn't eat much, that's normally a dead giveaway but it felt different. So because I'm the best boyfriend in the world I decided to arrange a cute little date for us this afternoon. I know this really good spot where you can see the sunset from the most beautiful view. I told Charlie when we were walking back to mine after school that I wanted to go out together. So, Charlie is at my house probably talking to my mum while I pop out to Asda.

I park my car and go straight into the shop. I have no time to waste considering I want to watch the sunset. I walk into the shop and grab a basket. I then go into the snack isle and pick out all of Charlie's favourite snacks. I then go and grab some fruit. I get some fruit because I know Charlie won't eat anything unless there's something healthy. I go and grab some actual food for us to eat as well. I then quickly stopped by the stationary isle and grabbed a black sharpie pen. I headed to the checkout quickly so I could get back to the house in time to get Charlie, AND watch the sunset. I get into my car, throwing the bag onto the other seat and get to work with my sharpie pen.

Charlie's pov:
I haven't really been feeling that good today. I have so much going on it's hard to focus on the things I need to be focusing on. I know it doesn't make sense but that how I've been feeling lately I guess. Nick always notices when I'm having a bad day. He's been planning for us to do something this afternoon all day. He won't tell me what we're doing, but knowing Nick, it will be something so soppy and romantic. That's why I'm exited. I'm currently waiting at his house for him to get back from wherever he has gone, so while I'm waiting I'll go and talk to Sarah. Me and Sarah get along so well. Me and my mum fight and argue alot, so it's nice to feel like I have a second mum who isn't shitty to me.

15 mins later-

I hear a car door slam shut outside the house meaning nicks home. He walks through the door and into the living room where me and Sarah are. "Hi." I say.
"Okay we don't have time to talk you need to get in the car. Like right now!" He instructs me. I get up, say goodbye to Sarah and immediately head to the car. I'm really exited now! Nick gets in and he looks so smug. He's clearly very pleased with himself. "You're making me so exited." I say to him while he pulls out of the street.
"You should be. I put blood, sweat and tears into this." He says jokingly. We both laughed and just talked the whole car ride. Around 10 minutes later Nick pulls into a parking lot on the top of a hill. "Why are we here?" I ask him.
"Well, i got the impression you haven't had the best day, so i thought we could do one of your favourite things." He replies
"And that is..?" I ask confused.
"Watching the sunset! What else?" He says.
"oh" i giggle. I look up and out of the window and i see the sun starting to set. "Perfect timing." I say.
"Charlie, if you wanna talk about it we can." He says. I feel my stomach tighten at his words. One thing i hate is talking about my feelings.
"I don't wanna ruin this moment. The sun is starting to set. Can we just forget about it and enjoy this view?" I say avoiding the subject.
"Of course baby." He says leaning over and kissing me on the forehead. I give him a quick peck in return.

"I got you somethings." Nick says.
"Really? What is it?" I ask curiously. Nick reaches into the back seat and grabs an Asda bag. I watch him curiously as he reaches into the bag and starts looking for something. He then starts handing me all of my favourite snacks. I'm starting to feel nauseous at the sight of them. Today has been a bad day. I don't feel like eating anything. But I'm doing it for Nick. "Thanks." I spit out.
"Hey it's okay. Take your time, I'm not going anywhere." He says. I feel like he can just sense I'm nervous. I give him a weak smile while he starts grabbing everything else left in the bag. He hands me some drinks and sets out some fruit around the car. At least there's something healthy. I pick up a bar of chocolate that he got me and flipped it round to where all the calories and things were to see they're all blacked out. I look at Nick in confusion until he gives me this small smile. Then it all made sense. It was Nick, he does this thing when he knows I'm having a bad day. He blacks out all the calories on the back of the food. I really am thankful for him. On the bright side at least it's one thing less for me to worry about. "I love you." I say.
"I love you more," he says "please try and eat something for me baby." i really do want to, i just can't. I want to do this for mine and nicks sake but its just so much more complicated then that. But i know nick is here with me, and he loves me more than anything. So I'm going to at least try.

30 mins later-

By now most of the food is gone and the sun has completely set. Me and Nick decide to get cozy on the backseat with all the blankets and pillows he bought and watch a movie on his iPad. I swear this day couldn't get any more perfect. It's just me and Nick. Like always. Everyone else might think we're boring, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
