the scene where nick and charlie try and stay up all night is so so 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘀π˜ͺ𝘰𝘢𝘴. we can see how carefree and happy they truly are. no one is watching or judging them, they have no curfew, no homophobes or bullies to sort out. its purely them in their own bubble, and i think its so lovely to have a connection with someone where you can be yourself and not be scared because you know they will be there no matter what. in that moment they are 𝘯π˜ͺ𝘀𝘬𝘒𝘯π˜₯𝘀𝘩𝘒𝘳𝘭π˜ͺ𝘦

can we just take a moment to appreciate how amazing charlie is as a boyfriend

idk why it's not discussed enough

reasons why charlie is the best boyfriend ever :

  • how he always made sure nick didn't feel pressured or obligated to come out
  • how he asked nick if he was feeling okay before coming out to anyone
  • he told nick that it was okay to find coming out difficult
  • how he was there for nick when he was stressed about his GCSEs
  • how he took it upon himself to tutor nick (ioNick coMPounDs)
  • how he stood up to harry
  • "i would fight anyone who's mean to you"
  • he was unbelievably patient for nick to figure out coming out to his friends and family to the point that he neglected his own well being to make sure nick felt protected and got everything perfect for him
  • "lets take the coach, you can rant about him the whole way there"
  • he made sure he was a safe place for nick to fall into
  • he made sure nick consented before being intimate with him
  • the way he made sure nick knew that he didn't have to have sex with him ever
  • he was the only person nick could show all his emotions to. the negative and the positive.
  • how he hugged nick after nick came out to his dad

All in all charlie is the most supportive, patient, soft, loving, wonderful, caring and UNDERAPPRECIATED boyfriend of all time

Okay but I'm so glad they adapted possibly my favorite scene from all of the comics, which I wasn't surprised about but was still grateful for. By which I mean, the scene where Nick communicates that he's not ready for sex and even after they agree on wanting to but not being ready, Charlie tells him he'd only want to have sex if Nick did and would never want to do it if Nick never wanted to. Even while knowing he wants to have sex with Nick one day, he won't hesitate to give up that idea if it's not mutually desired, because it's about intimacy with Nick and not sex for the sake of itself.

The first time I read that scene in the comics, my ace heart sang. It's one of those moments where Alice Oseman being aroace really shines through, because for allos sex is just a given and the lack thereof would beba deal breaker. I'm not saying someone would be wrong for wanting sex in a monogamous relationship, but it feels refreshing and safe to me as an ace person to see two people who feel the attraction but still prioritize each other and their relationship and normalize the presence of sex as a discussion and not an assumption.

This sort of thing is exactly why I desperately want more romance written by aspec people across the spectrum.

as both an author and an ace person this has reflected on me so hard. yes.
