-eating disorder- ♡♤ Charlies not well ♤♡ -no smut-

* The sun was setting, and the wind became colder as Nick entered the small park him, and Charlie would always go for walks with Nellie. Nick leant against a large oak tree by the entrance of the park waiting for charlie to finally arrive..he was late, which wasn't like him at all. Just as Nick was about to call Charlie, his eyes moved from his phone straight to the figure coming towards him .it was Charlie.. but he didn't look so well he looked so pale. He walked slowly over to Nick, hands in his pockets. Charlie was wearing an oversized hoodie, but Nicks heart sank as soon as Nick really realised how Charlie's vibrant and beautiful skin was now pallid*

"Hey, there you are, char. I've been worried sick about where you have been," Nick called, waving Charlie over to him. His voice carried a warmth that travelled through the chill in the air

"Sorry I'm late, Nick," Charlied replied whilst trying to force a smile onto his face that didn't quite work. "i-- uhm, yeah, I lost track of time."

"It's fine, don't worry, we all lose track of time sometimes, but are you okay?.."
Nicks brows furrowed as he stepped closer, concern growing more onto his face
"It's just that you look a but.. pale."

Charlie shrugged, just standing still whilst looking down at the grass beneath his feet
"I-im fine, Nick. Just tierd. I guess.." 

"Oh, c'mon, you know you can't fool me." Nick stepped forward, tilting Charlie's chin up gently with his hand," Char, I've noticed.. recently you... haven't really been eating a lot, and I really do worry about you. "

Charlie's stomach twisted at the concern he had just heard in Nicks voice. "I said I'm fine, Nick. I really am fine." He forced a little laugh, but it came out more like a whimper, and he quickly looked away. "Let's just go for a walk,"

"Okay," Nick replied slowly, his voice laced with hesitation. " But you know you can talk to me whenever right, Charlie. I'm here for you, and I really do care about you.. we can talk whenever okay. "

*they began walking along the winding path, and each step led to louder crunches of the leafs beneath their feet. It was silenced. Neither of them had said a word. Nick stole glances at Charlie, who kept his gaze fixed ahead of him, as if he was trying to avoid any conversation possible.*

"So char what did you have for lunch today?" Nick asked, breaking the silence..

Charlie hesitated, his heart racing. "Oh yeah, uhm. I had a sandwich. "

Nick paused for a moment mid-step and turned towards Charlie. "A sandwich? Just one singular sandwich? Nothing else? Charlie, that's not enough."

Charlie flinched. "I'm sorry, Nick, i really am sorry."

"Stop apologizing," Nick exclaimed. Frustration creeping slightly into his tone. "You don't need to say sorry for taking care of yourself"

"I- I know I just ... I don't want to be a burden," Charlie murdered, the weight of his words hanging heavily in the air

Nick sighed, the warmth in his gaze softening. "You could never be a burden to me. I love you, Charlie I really do love you. And j want to help you no matter what may come my way"
