    Summary

    “God, he looks fucking incredible. Charlie usually kept his hair short, but now it’s cropped even shorter on the sides, with longer curls at the top. He’s wearing a loose vest that proudly shows off his binder and there’s a definite path of hair trailing down into the waistband of his jeans that wasn’t always there. His top rides up as his arms are lifted in a V-shape, stretching out a huge flag behind him. Blue and Pink and White. It’s beautiful. He’s so fucking beautiful.

    His caption is a simple message: charlie (he/him)

    Well, there’s not a single doubt in my mind now. I’m definitely bisexual.”

     

    “Charlie Spring is a boy.

    He’s always been a boy.

    He was my first boyfriend.”

     

    OR: Trans Charlie AU where Nick and Charlie date in school before Charlie’s transition. Charlie breaks up with Nick. Eleven months later, Nick sees Charlie’s coming out post on Insta and reaches out.

    Summary

    Charlie surprises Nick at one of his rugby matches during his first semester at Leeds

    ———

    When the game finally ends (with a Leeds victory!), I select one of the best photos I took of him today, then with shaking hands, I type out two sentences.

    You look fit as fuck in that jersey. Wanna make out?

    I hit send, then wait. I’m literally trembling from head to toe, beaming like an idiot.

    I watch him and his teammates happily chatting and patting each other on the back. They make their way over to the sideline where they slowly start grabbing their phones and water bottles.

    I watch Nick like a hawk, almost vibrating out of my skin at this point. I think I might actually die of anticipation.

    He grabs his phone and water bottle, taking a long swig and then making some comment to the guy on his left, who laughs and claps him on the back. He smiles, then grabs his phone and starts walking toward the changing rooms, in the opposite direction from where I’m sitting. SERIOUSLY, Nick?! Without even looking at it?! I start to worry that he’s truly not even going to check it when I see him stop dead in his tracks.
