Holding you like this

I will be right by your side

Once Nick's mum made his way to the school, the two grabbed their bags, walking out hand in hand to the car. They got in, Nick in the front, Charlie in the back. Nick grabbed his hand "Are you okay?" He nodded, leaning his head against the window sill, fiddling with the blonde's fingers. Nick grabbed his phone, messaging Charlie 'You okay?' He messaged 'No..' "Mum, pull over." Sarah pulled over on the road as Nick got in the back, pulling Charlie towards his chest, rubbing his forearm slowly as he turned to look at him "What's wrong, lovely?" "Nothing." "I thought something was up when you told me no."

Charlie leaned into Nick's chest, head resting on his chest. Nick untied his tie, putting it in his bag, pulling Charlie back down, stroking his curls slowly. When they got home, the blonde's mum opened the door as the two teenagers walked in together hand in hand and upstairs. Charlie got settled on Nick's bed as he came up with him "Are you sure you're okay?" "Nick, I'm fine, I just felt a bit sick and too dizzy." "It's okay, did you have breakfast this morning?" He asked "I won't be mad if you say that you didn't eat this morning." "I didn't." "Let's get you something from downstairs, yeah?" "Yeah." "Wait here for me while I get you something." Charlie shrugged off his blazer, hanging it up on Nick's door.

5 minutes later, Nick came upstairs with a plate with a salmon and avocado sandwich "Here, sweetheart." He handed it to him as he sat up. Nick sat next to him "Did you get a hair cut?" Charlie swallowed his mouthful "No, mum fluffed it up a bit more as she knew that you always play with it." "That's cute." "It is." Once Charlie finished, he leaned into Nick's chest. Nick put his plate down on his bedside table, holding him close to him. Nick pressed kisses to Charlie's face until he got to his lips and smiled against them before pulling away. They spent the rest of the Afternoon, cuddling, holding hands, smiling and kissing.

The hours soon turned to night and Nick was walking downstairs as Charlie came down, jumping on his back. Nick held under his thighs, keeping him up. Charlie moved his arms around Nick's neck and smiled, tilting his head up, leaning down, kissing him on the mouth. He pulled away as Nick put him down, picking him up properly. The brunette wrapped his legs around his waist, wrapping his arms around his neck. The blonde held the underside of his thighs, carrying him into the living room, sitting down with Charlie on his lap "Miss how we used to sit like this?" He nodded "I always sat on your lap, no matter what we were doing," "True, whether we were lying in bed together, you lied on my lap, when we were over each other's houses, you sat on my lap but it was a bit more extreme when we were making out in our beds." "I always remember that." Charlie turned his head and faced him, connecting their lips passionately. Nick breathed out, kissing back. Their lips moving in sync and in rhythm with each other like they had done enough times to remember what they were doing.

Charlie awoke the next morning, smiling when he felt Nick's fingers thread through his hair. Nick adjusted their positions until Charlie was pulled into him. Nick's back against the headboard and Charlie's back to his chest. The blonde pressed kisses into Charlie's left shoulder and cradled his stomach "Good morning." He whispered softly in his ear "Good morning." "How did you sleep?" "I slept really peaceful last night." "Good." "I love you, Nick." "I love you too, beautiful." Nick rubbed his boyfriend's side as he looked at him "Yeah beautiful?" "I was wondering if we could just cuddle and relax today." "Are you still feeling dizzy?" "A little."  Charlie moved to lie back next to Nick, head on his arm. 

An hour later, Nick's eyes glistened with worry and nervousness that Nick hid with a soft smile. Charlie hadn't really spoken since his dizzy spell 15 minutes ago "Char, sweetheart, are you okay?" "Mhm." Charlie hummed, burying his face into the crook of Nick's neck. Hearing Charlie whimper beside him broke Nick out of his reverie, and he turned to see Charlie quietly falling apart. Without warning, Charlie jumped up from lying down and Nick heard "I'm gonna be sick," as his boyfriend rushed past Nick's mum and into the bathroom, his hand clamped over his mouth.
