Fics like "um, bye"

AU where Nick had his bisexual awakening a bit earlier and is out to his mum and his closest friends. Sai, Christian, and Otis are supportive straight friends... really. But they're at their wits end with Nick endlessly pining over Charlie Spring, but never getting the guts to ask him out. So they offer to help Nick practise confessing his feelings to Charlie: 🩷💜💙 I take a deep breath and imagine that it's Charlie in front of me. It’s actually easier than I thought to visualise him, my friends fade away and my vision blurs as if there’s a fantasy filter on. And there’s Charlie, with a small smile, waiting for me to begin talking. “So, um, I had something I wanted to ask you.” I can almost see Charlie blinking up at me from those lovely long lashes of his, I clear my throat and let my heart speak. “Charlie… I wanted to tell you that I'm bi, actually. And… I'm in love with you. Do you want to go out with me? I want to be with you forever.” I picture Charlie’s smile growing wider, his dimples deepening as he says, “YES! Nick, I’m in lo—” “Uh, how about we try that again but with a little less… that?” Otis says, breaking me out of my delusion, the bubble of bliss popping unceremoniously.
