heartstopper oneshots 🍂💗

we're all a 'team'

nicks pov:

Today after school me and Charlie have rugby practice. I still cant really tell if Charlie actually likes rugby, but either way we are still spending time together. I'ts currently last lesson and I have maths and Charlie has music. Its only been half an hour and I'm already bored out of my mind so I decide to text Charlie. were not allowed to be on our phones in class so I hide it under my desk.

me- hey char!

char❤️- heyy! you okay?

me- i'm okay just super bored haha

char❤️- me too I miss you

me- Charlie its only been half an hour,

char❤️- ugh but stilll!

We both spend the rest of our lessons just texting secretly, until the bell finally goes. I immediately stand up from my chair and grab all my things, walking straight to the music rooms. When I get there I look through the window in the door and see Charlie sitting at his drum set with his teacher. The teacher in there with him that looks as if she is instructing him? I don't know I'm not good at music. He looks so fed up and annoyed of his teacher at this point, the unamused look on his face makes me laugh. Charlie spots ne peeking into the class and immediately smiles. He gestured for me to come in so I open the door and shut it behind me. Charlie and his teacher are just finishing talking about music and stuff I have no idea about.

He finishes talking to his teacher and walks straight over where I'm standing and wraps his arms around me. "Hi." He says smiling. "Hi." I reply. We just talk the whole walk over towards the changing rooms. When we get there we go over to a more closed off private part of the changing rooms. Charlie prefers getting changed over here, he feels more comfortable and less judged over here. Once we're both changed we head out of the changing rooms and onto the rugby field with the rest of the lads on the team. Coach Singh splits us all into two teams, red and blue. I'm on red team and Charlie is on blue. We always warm up in our teams and do a little bit of practice before we play a big match against each other. I'm warming up with my team when I spot some of the boys on the other team talking to Charlie. I can't see or hear exactly what they're saying, all I can hear is laughing. Maybe they're just joking around or something.

Charlie's pov:

Right now I have rugby practice. Like always, we all get split into two teams, today I'm on blue team and Nick is on red. We start to warm up in our separate teams. It started off okay, until now. Harry and some of the other boys are saying some nasty things to me. It started off with them saying things like "you need to try harder." And "is he even trying?" I already just wasn't in the mood today, and to add onto that now I have my teammates being assholes.

I decide to just ignore them and try and get through this game. The further into the game we got the worse their comments got. They started by just commenting on my rugby skills. Then my sexuality, then my appearance and weight. Everyone on the team just laughed at me. It all ended up getting too much for me to handle so I went to miss Singh trying to hold back my tears, and asked if I could go to the bathroom. She said yes so I immediately start walking away from the field and into the PE block. I turn around the corner towards the bathroom and lock myself inside a cubicle. I sit down on the floor with my back against the cubicle wall and silently sob. I sit and think about everything that happened. All the guys on the rugby team and what they were saying. Their words replaying in my head. Their words cut through me like a knife. My bad thoughts started taking over, and I suddenly had the urge.

Nick's pov:
I watched as I saw Charlie walk over to miss Singh, then running towards the changing rooms. I'm starting to worry now. He's been gone for at least 10 minutes, and all the lads on the other team seemed to be laughing and joking about something. I walked over to the other team and as soon as they saw me they all fell silent. "Any of you seen Charlie?" I ask. "He went to the toilet mate." Harry replied. "Yeah but he's been gone for a while. Any of you know what happened?" I asked seriously. They all took a second and looked at each other. "Assholes." I scoffed. I ran as fast as I could to the changing rooms, pushing the door open to the toilets. When I ran in I could see one of the cubicles was locked, and I could hear faint crying. I knew exactly who it was. I walked over to the cubicle and gently knocked on the door. "Char?" I said softly. No answer, "can you open the door please?" I ask. "No. Just go away, leave me alone." He says shakily from the other side of the door. I crouch down onto the floor and peek under the stall. My heart drops when I see Charlie sat on the floor, with his knees tucked into his chest. But most importantly laying in-front of him on the floor is a blade. I immediately stand up and try pushing the door open. "Charlie, I swear to god of you don't open this door I'll break it down." I say trying to sound calm, "please, I need to make sure you're okay." He stays silent for a moment until I hear a little sniffle, "m'kay." He says quietly. I hear the door unlock and I immediately push it open.
I crouch down on the floor next to him and immediately wrap my arms around him. He buried his face in my chest and cries. "Hey, it okay I'm here. I'm here." I reassure him stroking the side of his face. "Did you...?" I ask hesitantly. "no," he pauses "but I was going to." He says quietly. I was so relieved by his words. I luckily just came in time. "Wanna tell me what happened?" I ask softly. "The boys on my team," he starts "they was just, saying things to me." He says. "Like what?" I question. "About being gay, how I'm bad at rugby and how I'm too skinny." He says in between sobs. "Oh char, you know that's not true. You're so so beautiful, I've never seen a more perfect person. Hey, you're so hot you turned a straight boy." I joke. He chuckles a bit at that. He sits up and looks at me giving me a sad smile. I wiped away the tears on his cheeks and cup his face. "I love you." I say, "I love you too." He replies. I give him a quick kiss on the lips. "Sorry." He says looking up at me. "No Charlie. You're not allowed to say the s-word, you've done nothing wrong." I tell him seriously.
"I feel pathetic." He says looking down at his hands. "You're not. They're all assholes." I say pulling him into a hug. "How about we leave now and go back to my house?" I say. I feel him nod into my chest. "C'mon, let's go." I say.
