Set in a Heartstopper alternate universe (AU), Nick Nelson never thought his world could be turned upside down by someone he met at the gym. Confident, athletic, and sure of his identity, Nick is the kind of guy who thrives in his routines. But when he notices Charlie Spring, a shy yet bold newcomer to the gym, Nick can't help but feel drawn to him in a way he's never felt before. As their friendship grows through shared workouts and late-night chats, Nick finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about himself. Charlie's warmth, humor, and determination to better himself stir something in Nick he can't quite name. For Charlie, Nick's unwavering support and playful confidence spark a sense of belonging he's been searching for. What starts as casual gym bro camaraderie soon deepens into a bond neither of them expected. But as feelings grow stronger, so do the challenges of navigating first loves, coming out, and learning to trust in one another. With moments that will make you laugh, swoon, and maybe even shed a tear, I'm in Love with My Gym Bro is a heartwarming story about the courage to embrace who you are and the joy of discovering love in the unlikeliest places. Packed with tender moments, playful banter, and the undeniable chemistry of two people falling for each other, this novel is perfect for readers who believe that love can grow in the spaces you least expect it-like the weight rack at your local gym.

This story is gonna be a mix of what happens mixed in with my own things that I saw in my mind happening

This takes place 7 years after they both graduate And they're both done with uni. Nick and charlie are not my characters they're alice osmans characters from hearstopper. There will be mentions of eating disorder and self harm There is smut

Nick and Charlie, from Alice Oseman's wonderful books and graphic novels are now in their early twenties and they are still in love. SMUT WARNING for a few chapters. I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS this is just for fun. This will include mature subject matter and language, some of which may be triggering, including eating disorders, self harm, depression, alcohol consumption, violence, car accident, trauma, and sex. It's a little fluffy, a little smutty, and pretty emotional. Thank you for reading.
