Charlie sat in his class, sunk in his seat with a tired expression. He was moving like a zombie that day, exhaustion written all over his face.

Dark circles were painted under his eyes. He didn't sleep well the night before, only 2 hours, up with restless thoughts. Charlie didn't know why he had trouble falling asleep, it just happened to him from time to time.

The only thing getting Charlie through his day was the fact that he had plans with his Boyfriend after they had rugby practice. They haven't been able to hang out for a couple of days because of exams but now exams are finally over and the young couple can reunite.

'2 more hours to go.' Charlie thought to himself as he struggled to sit through class, restless with the exhaustion he felt. He is also restless to see Nick.

Finally, the bell rang, and relief flooded his mind as Charlie. He began to collect his belongings and head to the locker room to begin to get ready for rugby practice.

Once Charlie made it to his destination, his whole face lit up as he spotted Nick standing by his locker setting his rugby bag down meaning he had just arrived as well. Charlie ran up to Nick and leaped into his arms, a laugh escaped his lips at his boyfriend's surprised expression when he suddenly caught him in his strong rugby arms.

"Well Hi." Nick hummed in amusement as he adjusted Charlie in his grip so he could be more comfortable at his hip.

Charlie smiled up at Nick, adoration shining in his eyes, "Hey." Even if he was smiling, it didn't reach his eyes.
His eyes didn't read happiness, exhaustion was, with dark circles painted underneath.

Even if Charlie was trying to mask it, Nick could tell. Nick gently pulled away from the hug and observed Charlie, "You okay?" He wondered.

"Mm," Charlie murmured, unsure how to describe how he was feeling at the moment. He was doing okay mentally but felt drained.

Nick looked at Charlie with a caring expression and moved a curl that was on his face, "Tired?" He guessed. Charlie nodded softly, he didn't understand how Nick could always guess what he was feeling. He was just good at reading people, or just him.

Nick rubbed Charlie's hip, "Are you up for rugby practice?" He asked with worry shining in his eyes. He knew that tiredness could come from Charlie's ed sometimes. Charlie instantly nodded, to reassure Nick that wasn't the issue that day, "Yeah. I was just hoping... maybe instead of the movie we were planning to go see we could go to your house instead. And make dinner there and just..cuddle up? In your arms?" Charlie wondered in a shy voice.

The shy voice made Nick melt. The idea of just being in Charlie's arms, or holding Charlie under the covers made his heart warm. "Yeah." He assured me, "I'd be down for that."

Charlie beamed and then realized that they were the only ones left in the locker room, "Oh shit, we're late for practice. We better get changed." He tossed nick's rugby uniform shirt at his face. Nick let out a chuckle, "Yeah, I'm going!"
