Summary
Charlie watches as the broad figure of his favourite customer slips through the door and disappears into the darkness of the bleak winter evening. He’s eternally grateful for the fact that the shop has pretty much emptied out now, and Elliot is occupied with washing up in the back room, giving him a moment alone to sigh dreamily to himself as he stares after him and lets the residual fluttering in his stomach settle back down to normal.
—————
Or, Charlie is slowly having his soul crushed working as a barista, but at least he has the daily visit from his favourite regular customer to look forward to. A coffee shop AU.

Summary
“You don’t have to make the cake, if you don’t want to.” Probably the last thing Nick needs to be doing right now is assisting with the preparations for a two-year-old’s birthday party.
“The cake?”
“For Sunny,” Charlie reminds him gently. “Darce and Tara will understand.”
“Oh. No, no. I’ll do it,” he insists, even though Charlie can feel the weight of it on his heart. “I want to do it.”

Summary
Suddenly his face appears out of the darkness, illuminated by the light of his phone. His hair is sticking up wildly and his eyes are barely open as he squints at his lock screen. “It’s half three.”
“Shit. Sorry. Just go back to sleep.”
Nick tilts the phone away from his face to cast more light into the room, catching Charlie trying to tiptoe towards the door. “Where are you going?”
Charlie stops again. “Home?”
“What? Don’t be silly. Just stay.”
—————
Or, Nick and Charlie are good mates, pals, bros in their twenties when Charlie accidentally stumbles upon an unexpected cure for his insomnia.

Summary
“Is this okay?”
“You look adorable,” Nick sighed, tilting his head to the side and scrunching his nose slightly.
“I meant will it be warm enough?” Charlie chuckled.
“Oh. With your coat, and a scarf and a hat and stuff, yeah.”
“So are you gonna tell me what we’re doing today?” Charlie asked as he pulled his coat on.
“Nope!”
“Nick,” he whined. He wasn’t really a big fan of surprises.
“It’ll be fun, I promise. I’m going to show you some Christmas magic.”
——————
Or, Nick plans a very Christmassy date day for Charlie. It’s literally just pure Christmas fluff.

Summary
This is all too much. The snow, the lost luggage, the jetlag, the entire last year with Ben. I want to sit here, flat on my ass in the middle of the concrete, and cry. But the big mitten is already in front of my face.
“Up you go.” The hand inside the mitten is strong and I’m back on my feet easily.
I try to steady myself. Physically and mentally.
“Take this,” I hear, and the next moment, his coat clamps around me, the hood spilling over my forehead. I’m immediately enveloped in blissful warmth.

Summary
Six years ago, soon after Charlie started uni, Nick and Charlie broke up. And their lives have been fine since. Really. It’s fine.
Then they run into each other at a wedding, and it ignites a spark they had long since thought extinguished. But they can’t be long-distance again, they know it doesn’t work.
A relationship, anyway. The sex still seems to be good.
So maybe just a little bit, then. Once a year. This is too good to let go of completely. Right?
