You could say Charlie Spring is an outcast. 
His friend Aled doesn't really know why, and neither does his sister Tori, for that matter. Charlie Spring is the most lovely, charming and caring person in the shitty  town he lives in. There's no reason why anyone could even begin to dislike him.
Well, there's one.
You see, Charlie Spring is gay. Gay people aren't really well seen in Whitetiles. Perhaps that's why people don't want to hang out with Charlie and don't smile back at him. Perhaps that's why Charlie feels so alone.
But when Nick Nelson suddenly appears in Whitetiles, Charlie's life changes. 
Nick Nelson is charming and lovely too. He does smile back at Charlie and doesn't really mind that he's gay.
 Nick Nelson is really wonderful.

"If I could pick anyone in the entire world, in the entire world, Will, I'd still choose you." *** William Nile has always felt a lack of control in his life. His head's clustered and the past likes to eat at his thoughts. Isolation is a synonym for safety and staying neutral is a key ingredient for survival. He's always felt more put together when he was a mess; always felt like the world was clearer in the dark. He can't help it, this is just how it's always been. Then comes along a new foster family who throws him for a loop. They're exactly who they say they are, exactly who they act to be. With that comes a goofy boy named Clement and his best friends, annoying twins who laugh loudly- -good luck telling Jude and Demi apart- -and a girl named Minnie who has a god complex. Will knew from the day he arrived that he needs to focus on acting the way his foster moms want, on getting good grades, at playing soccer well and making sure that for once, he doesn't mess up. He knows he doesn't want to lose these friends, knows he wants to feel wanted and needed and understood. Because here, there is more focus on his mental health than there is on if he's acting the 'right' way. Here, there is room for growth and change past a foster parent's ideal child. Here, there's no room for entertaining the idea of him with a pretty boy who has a witty smile and a loud laugh. On that last note, he has no idea what to do (and Will is someone who likes to plan ahead). *** A coming of age story.

Charlie, a highly-strung, openly gay over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Friendship blooms quickly, but could there be something more...? Charlie Spring is in Year 10 at Truham Grammar School for Boys. The past year hasn't been too great, but at least he's not being bullied anymore. Nick Nelson is in Year 11 and on the school rugby team. He's heard a little about Charlie - the kid who was outed last year and bullied for a few months - but he's never had the opportunity to talk to him. They quickly become friends, and soon Charlie is falling hard for Nick, even though he doesn't think he has a chance. But love works in surprising ways, and sometimes good things are waiting just around the corner... ***This is my take on ALICE OSEMAN'S story! All rights go to her. I just loved the book so much that I wanted to see it as something else than just a graphic novel so I wrote it! HER story, HER characters, HER rights!***

26 parts Complete Mature
Charlie Holloway has great friends, good grades, a steady part-time job he actually likes, and athletic ability that makes him a star in two sports, but recently it's all felt rather hollow. However, when childhood friend Theo Broussard comes back into his life, Charlie is shaken out of a years-long daze that has left him coasting through his teenage years. Theo just happening to be the star player for his school's biggest rival and his first crush only complicates matters further. When things get difficult, Charlie finds himself forced to choose between his current life following the path of least resistance or a harder but possibly more fulfilling one. "Only to feel this fully, this entire, the way snow touched bare skin & is suddenly, no longer snow" -Ocean Vuong, "Devotion" from Night Sky with Exit Wounds [Re-edited 4/18/20]

Charlie likes to pretend everything is fine, happy, perfect, but now that his struggles are revealed to Nick, it's going to just get harder and harder to hide how he's feeling. He doesn't want to worry Nick, so it might be best to keep it to himself. Nick is absolutely terrified. There's no other way to put it. He's so scared of losing Charlie and the thought of that kills him. He knows he can't tread on eggshells around Charlie, but also knows he needs to handle Charlie's mental health delicately, as to not upset him. Both of them are scared for their own reasons, but they love each other so much. Seeing each other in pain is a whole new prospect that they are going to have to explore whether both of them are ready for it or not. - I wanted to write this as season 3 is fast approaching. This is based off what I think I might happen in season 3 or Heartstopper. I've been thinking about scenes I want to play out in this and thought, "hey why not write a fan fiction about it?"
