For a bit of context:
This is an au of HeartStopper (The Series on Netflix - that just dropped today while writing this!! - not the books) and so will follow that story-line. The story starts sort of at the beginning but does not contain the scenes of assault in ep 1 2 or 3 - Can't remember which one LMAO- but briefly mentions it in the story. As you should know if you have watched the show already, Charlie is a year 10 boy that is gay and has a crush on a year 11 boy called Nick. The 2 become best friends and slowly fall in love.
Will you stay and find out how peer pressure, bullying and self degrading thoughts will affect the two boys? Especially Charlie... ;)
