hii I was wondering if you can make a cg Nick Nelson from heartstopper moodboard and headcanons

you don’t have to tho thank you for your consideration

Hello! I am so thankful you ask!

Nick Nelson Caregiver moodboard

Head canons:

First of all, Nick Nelson is a flip, regressor leaning! With him not having the best father figure, he seeks that while with Charlie and feels comfortable doing father/son activities with Charlie.

When he is in cg space,

He loves making tea and food for his little guy!

Nick Nelson is very cuddly and loves giving cuddles!

He will definitely have stuffed animals in his room or house as a just in case for Charlie to snuggle with. Any little gear he would have both for himself and charlie to use.

He loves playing video games with little charlie!

Nick will fight people to protect his baby at all costs. Even if Charlie is not in the room, his dad mode is activated immediately when someone talks poorly about charlie.

Want more? Here is my Nick Nelson regressor inspo board! (Also found under the Nick nelson regressor tag)

AAHHHH, I LOVE THIS SO MUCH ME TOO!!! /positive excitement

heartstopper is like my favorite show

[bairdthereader]

Herewith, a partial list of things I wish I could see or hear more of in Heartstopper:

I would give many, many valuable things to be able to read this entire text conversation.

I need a complete tour of the absolute chaos that must be Darcy's room.

Can we please, please see a photo book of all the pictures Tao took in Paris?

There needs to be a full reveal of Elle's art notebook. Even the florals that she thinks aren't good enough, that don't mean anything, are gorgeous. I can't imagine how beautiful the rest of the book is.

On the flip side, Tao's Art GCSE notebook, I'm begging here 😂

All the books in Isaac's room, please. Every. Single. Book.

Nelson tea mug collection reveal. The number of times tea is made at this house, it ought to be a good one.

I want to know exactly what it looks like when Mr. Ajayi gives someone evils, and I want to see Nick's face, please.

Tao and Nick are the only people talking in this scene. Are they talking to each other?? What about?? Alice/Netflix, help a girl out!

Just a sampling, there are many more lists . . . 📜📜📜

The Nick Nelson flip

[bunnysnuff]

Puppy love.

Pairing: Nick Nelson x m!reader.

Trigger warning: none.

Nick Nelson was excited. He’d been looking forward to this day for what felt like forever. He had planned everything—well, almost everything. There was one thing he couldn’t leave behind, no matter how hard he tried: Nellie, his golden retriever. She was family, and she adored you. And really, you adored her right back.

The plan was simple—a casual date at the park, just you, Nick, and a bit of fresh air. It wasn’t the fanciest idea, but it was perfect in its own way. You’d always loved the idea of just being with him, somewhere quiet, where you could both relax and be yourselves. And Nick, being the thoughtful guy he was, decided that bringing Nellie along would only make things better.

You were waiting for him at the entrance of the park, sitting on a bench as the early autumn breeze rustled through the trees. The air was crisp but pleasant, and you could already smell the earthy scent of leaves turning. As soon as you spotted Nick walking toward you, your heart did that familiar little flip. He was wearing his usual oversized hoodie, sleeves bunched up around his wrists, looking cozy and effortlessly cute.

But it was Nellie who got to you first. The golden retriever’s tail wagged furiously as she bounded toward you, pulling slightly on the leash in Nick’s hand.

“You brought Nellie!” you said with a grin, crouching down to greet the excited dog. She immediately leaned into your hand, her soft fur warm beneath your fingers as you scratched behind her ears.

“Of course I did. She missed you,” Nick said, his voice tinged with affection. You glanced up to see him standing there, smiling down at you, his cheeks slightly pink from the cool air or maybe from how cute the moment was.

“Pretty sure she’s more excited to see you than the park,” Nick added, a playful glint in his eyes as you stood up.

“I can’t help it, I give the best belly rubs,” you teased, falling into step beside him as the three of you began to walk down the path.

Nick laughed, that light, easy sound that always made your chest feel warm. His hand brushed against yours as you walked, and soon, his fingers slipped between yours, holding tight. The simple touch sent a comfortable warmth through you, the kind that made you feel like everything was right in the world.

You walked together in silence for a while, the only sounds around you being the crunch of leaves underfoot and Nellie’s gentle panting. Every now and then, you’d glance at Nick, catching the way the wind tousled his blond hair or the way his eyes lit up when Nellie would stop to sniff something along the path.

“Thanks for bringing her,” you said softly after a while, squeezing his hand. “I think I missed her more than I realized.”

Nick smiled at you, his eyes full of that warmth you’d come to love. “I’m glad. She loves being around you. And... I do too.”

The day stretched on as you both wandered through the park, talking about nothing and everything, with Nellie trotting happily between you. It wasn’t about grand gestures or fancy plans—it was just the three of you, the crisp air, and the quiet moments that made it all feel perfect.

When Love Remains: Friend

Nick Nelson x Reader Nick x Charlie

Sleepover at Charlie’s. Imogen’s dog😭. Nick has a dilemma. Charlie’s b-day. Fettuccine and tears. You’re not in a good place. The weekend did not pan out how you thought it would.

Warning: mentioning of eating disorder and body dysmorphia. If you or anyone you know is struggling with an eating disorder please call (846)952-6293

A/n: I hope you joy. This chapter is kind of sad and depressing for the reader ngl :(

Charlie

Elle, Tao, and Isaac were all sleeping over at my house tonight and we were currently in my room playing monopoly. Well Elle, Tao, and I were playing monopoly while Isaac laid on the mattress nearby.

“Oh no. No!” Tao exclaimed.

“Hand over.” I said as I extended my hand for the Monopoly money that Tao had to pay me. He begrudgingly gave me his money.

“It’s nearly midnight, can we please call it a draw?” Elle asked.

“No, because I am clearly winning . I just have unlucky rolls.” Tao stated.

“No, I’m winning because I have more money.” I retorted.

“No the winner is the superior businessperson, and that’s me.” Tao shot back.

“No, I’m the superior businessperson seeing as I have more money, which is the goal of monopoly.”

“You only have more money ‘cause you know all the Monopoly cheats.”

“You can’t cheat at monopoly.” I stated.

Isaac had enough of our bickering and flipped the board game. All the pieces fell off the mattress and onto the floor.

“Oh, whoops.” He said sarcastically and I smiled at his antics. Isaac was always the peacemaker in our friend group. Even when we weren’t fighting for real.

“Draw?” I asked.

“Draw.” Tao agreed after some consideration.

“Thank god.” Elle said.

Once we cleaned up the board game, Isaac and I went downstairs to make all of us some hot chocolate. When we were finished we each grabbed two mugs each and walked back up to my room. We entered and saw Tao twerking into Elle, while she was hitting him with a pillow and that was a sight I never thought I’d see.

“Do I even want to know?” I asked.

Elle hit Tao one more time before the two of them finally settled onto my bed. I handed Tao his mug and found a seat on the floor in front of my bed.

“So, I was thinking of inviting Nick to my birthday thing on Saturday. I really want him to come, but I don’t want it to be awkward or weird since you don’t really know him.” I said.

“No, it wouldn’t be awkward.” Elle said.

“I assumed he was coming anyway.” Isaac said.

“Okay. Good.” I said with a smile.

—————————

“Hey you!”

I looked up from my literature homework and saw Nick looking down at me.

“Hey.” I said.

He sat next to me on the outdoor table and pecked my lips.

“What are you were working on?” He asked.

“Just an essay for lit.”

“Do you need help proofreading when you’re done.”

“Yeah actually thank you.”

“Of course!”

I was about to continue my essay when I heard sniffling. I looked up and saw Imogen sitting across me with teary eyes.

“Imogen are you okay?” I asked.

“My dog died last night.”

Imogen told me that her dog was old and it was inevitable. I just don’t think she expected it to happen so soon.

“I’m so sorry.” Nick said.

“Yeah.”

Imogen pulled out her phone and showed us pictures of her dog.

“He was really old so, like, we knew it was coming. I loved him so much. This is the worst week of my life ever.”

I grabbed her hand from across the table and gave it a squeeze.

“If there’s anything I can do, just let me know. I’m here for you.”

“Thank you Y/n.” She said. “I think I was just want to alone for now.”

“That’s understandable.” Nick said.

Imogen gave us both a smile before she left the table to be alone.

“I hope Imogen will be okay.” I said.

“She will be. She’s strong.” Nick said.

I nodded.

“Anyway. I was thinking…we could meet at Nando’s for dinner and then we could go to the cinema. I know they’re playing one of the new films you wanted to see.”

“That sounds lovely.” I said.

The bell rang and I quickly gathered my belongings and put them in my bag.

“Same spot, same time after school?” Nick asked.

“Yup.”

“Perfect. I love you.” He then kissed my forehead.

“I love you too.” I said.

—————————

Charlie

Mr. Hamlet was currently taking attendance, so I used it as an opportunity to poke Nick to grab his attention.

“So it’s kind of my birthday on Saturday.” I said.

“Is it?”

“Yeah. Me and my friends are going bowling, and I was going to ask if you wanted to come, but I know you don’t really know them, so you don’t have to.”

“Yes.” I said.

“Nick and Charlie keep it down please.” Mr. Hamlet said. Then he continued taking attendance.

I felt happy knowing that Nick would be coming to my birthday party, but I didn’t notice the dread that Nick was feeling.

“Wait what time will it be?” Nick asked.

“Um…well I think we’re going to start around 4:00 and the also have dinner. Why?”

I was supposed to have a date with Y/n on Saturday, but that didn’t start until 6, so I could probably go to Charlie’s b-day party for 1 hour and then leave to go get ready for my date with Y/n Nick thought.

“No reason. I just wanted to know. And by the way thanks for giving me barely any time to get you a present.”

“You don’t have to give me a present.”

“No, I’m gonna.”

“I’m serious.”

Nick playfully shushed me and that ended the conversation.

—————————

Nick

“Had a good day Nicky?” Mum said as she entered the house from grocery shopping.

“Mmm.”

“Oh what’s up?” My mum clearly sensed something was wrong.

I put my phone on the table and gave my mum my attention.

“I planned to go on a date with Y/n on Saturday, but I kind of also agreed to go to Charlie’s birthday party on the same day.”

“Well can you make it to both?”

“Yeah, but if I go to Charlie’s party, then I’d only be able to go for an hour and I can’t just postpone my date with Y/n because I want to stay at a friend’s birthday party.”

Mum nodded.

“Well I suggest that you keep your date with Y/n on Saturday, and Charlie should be understanding that you can only be at his party for an hour. At least you made the effort for being there for him.”

I smiled at her suggestion.

“I think you’re right. Thanks mum.”

“Of course! And you should invite Y/n for dinner sometime.”

“I was actually planning on having her stay over this weekend. If that’s alright with you.”

“Of course! You know I love Y/n. She can stay for as long as she wants.

I smiled and mum began to put the groceries away.

—————————

Nick

I thought about today for a while and thought what could hurt me going to Charlie’s party for an hour. I could support my friend on his birthday and then go spend time with my girlfriend.

I entered the bowling alley where Charlie’s party was held and I saw Charlie there waiting for me.

“You came.” He said excitedly.

“Yeah of course I did.” I handed him the small bag in my hand that contained my gift for him. “Happy birthday.”

“You didn’t have to get me anything.”

“And I ignored you.”

“Come on.” Charlie said and he led me to where his party was being held. I didn’t notice any of his friends around, so I asked him.

“Am I the first one here?”

“No you’re actually the last. We’re over there. Lane 17.”

I looked over at Lane 17 and the girl over there looked familiar.

“I feel like I know her from somewhere.”

“That’s Elle. She used to go to our school. She would have been in your year, but she moved to Higgs.”

I let that information sink in.

“That’s Isaac. He doesn’t really say a lot, but he’s really nice.” Charlie pointed to a guy with a book and a bowling ball in his hands. Why you would read while bowling is beyond me.

“And you know Tao.”

Charlie gestured to the guy who was talking to Elle. The last time I saw Tao he threw a rugby ball at me.

“Sorry in advance if he says anything rude to you. That’s just the way he is.”

“Okay.” I said.

Tao turned around and his face fell when his eyes landed upon me, but Elle smiled.

“Ready to meet them?” Charlie asked.

“Yeah.”

We walked over to Lane 17 and when we were in earshot Charlie said, “Everyone, this is Nick.”

“Hey.” I said.

“Hey.” Isaac said.

“Oh good. We’re just choosing fun names for the board.” Elle said.

“Fun names?” I said as I walked over to the board.

“Yeah and for the record, Elle smells was Tao’s idea.” Isaac said. Elle and I chuckled at his response.

Since it was Charlie’s birthday we all agreed to let Charlie go first. Sadly he got a gutter ball. Next was Isaac and just like Charlie his ball went into the gutter. Elle knocked one pin down and Tao landed it in the gutter as well. Then it was my turn and due to my years of bowling experience I got a strike.

“Come on you did it!” Charlie exclaimed.

We were about to hug, but we awkwardly stopped what we were doing and took a step back.

“Sorry.” Charlie said.

After a while we ordered some nachos and continued bowling. Elle even took a couple pictures to commemorate Charlie’s birthday. I was having so much fun! So much fun that I didn’t realize my phone buzzing in my packet because I had it on do not disturb. Eventually the game came to an end and I won.

“I was so close.” Elle said in defeat.

“You definitely cheated.” Charlie said.

“Oh yeah? How?”

“You have strong rugby arms.” Charlie said as he touched one of my arms. I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel something when Charlie did that, but I shook that feeling away.

“Strong rugby arms?”

“Yeah. You got an unfair advantage.”

“I thought you liked my arms.”

Wait where was this coming from? Wait am I flirting?

“Shut up.” Charlie said with a laugh, but he then sensed my awkward demeanor. He was about to ask what was wrong, but thank god Isaac interrupted.

“Is everyone ready for round two?”

“I’m just going to find the bathroom.” Charlie said.

He left and I joined Issac at the board to start round 2 of bowling. When we were picking names I started to get hungry, so I figured I’d get a bag of chips from the vending machine.

“I’m going to go get some chips. Do you guys want anything?” I asked Elle and Isaac.

“Oh, can you get me a coke?” Elle asked. “I’ll pay.”

“No, I’ll get it. It’s fine.”

“Okay.”

“Isaac?” I asked.

“I’ll also accept a can of coke. If you’re paying.”

I smiled. “Okay, all right. I’ll be right back in a minute.” I said as I walked away. I made it to the counter and was about to order when I heard voices from the bathroom.

“You know he’s just an attention-seeker like Harry and the rest of his mates!”

I ignored the conversation until I heard my name paired with someone’s else name that I knew in the same sentence.

“Nick doesn’t even like Harry. Nick’s basically risking everything by hanging out with me, so—“

It sounded like Charlie.

“Wow. I feel so sorry for the popular rugby lad who’s almost getting picked on because he dares to hang out with someone below his popularity status.”

That voice sounded like Tao’s.

“You know that’s not what I meant.”

“And now you’re going to tell me I’m just being jealous because you mad a new friend and I’m scared of being alone?”

“Well…aren’t you?”

“No! I just don’t like seeing him mess with you!”

“Do you really think he’s messing me around?” Charlie asked as his voice sounded deflated.

No Charlie! That’s not true. I enjoy your company and maybe a little more than I should.

“I mean, that’s what it looks like.”

“But..He’s my friend.”

“Fine. But if he is even slightly mean to you …”

“Yeah. You’ll murder him. I know.”

“I was going to say I’d send him a strongly worded DM, but murder’s fine too.”

Charlie chuckled.

I quickly walked away from the bathroom door and ordered my chips and the cokes for Elle and Isaac. I don’t want Charlie and Tao to think I was eavesdropping on their conversation.

The bathroom door opened and Charlie and Tao walked out. Charlie looked shocked to see me standing there and Tao looked annoyed.

“Ugh! Just go.” Tao said to Charlie before he walked away probably to Isaac and Elle.

“Hi.” Charlie said.

“Hi.”

“Are you getting more food?”

I looked at Charlie before I immediately hugged him. Charlie stiffened, but he slowly hugged me back. We said nothing and we just stood their in each others embrace.

I felt warm and fuzzy inside in his arms. Like a blanket being wrapped around me. Strange. Only Y/n makes me feel this way…Y/n…Y/n! Damn!

I quickly broke away from my hug with Charlie and he looked alarmed.

“Is everything alright?” He asked.

“Yeah…just uh, what time is it?”

“I don’t know.”

“I wasted no time and dashed back to Lane 17 and looked for my phone.

“Everything alright?” Elle asked

“Yeah I’m just looking for my phone. Um what time is it?”

Elle checked her phone and showed it to me. “It’s 8:30.”

“Damn it!” I whispered and I began to look for my phone again.

“We’ll help you look for your phone .” Isaac said.

Isaac and Elle began helping me look for my phone, while Tao sat on then couch and didn’t bother to help. I wanted to roll my eyes, but there was no time for that. It was already 8:30 and Y/n probably already left a bunch of messages for me to open.

“Found it!” Isaac said. “It was in between the seat cushions.”

I quickly thanked Isaac and I turned off do not disturb. My heart sank when I saw all the unread messages that Y/n had sent me.

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!” I said as I quickly scanned Y/n’s text messages.

“What’s going on?” Charlie asked. I looked up and saw Charlie with my chips and the cokes for Isaac and Elle.

“I’m really sorry, but I have to go. Thank you so much for inviting me Charlie! I had a great time!”

I brought Charlie into a hug and he hugged me back.

“Thanks for coming.” He said.

I pulled away from Charlie and looked at Elle, Isaac, and Tao.

“It was nice meeting you all. I hope it won’t be our last.”

“It was nice meeting you too.”

“It won’t be the last.” Elle said.

Tao said nothing.

I smiled at Charlie before I ran out of the bowling alley.

—————————

Saturday came along slower than I wanted it to, but eventually it came and I was ecstatic for my date with Nick. Imogen came over to help with my hair and make up. Even though I distinctly told her I didn’t necessarily need to get all dolled up, but she shooshed me.

Imogen added the last stroke of blush on my cheek before she said, “Tada! My masterpiece is finished!”

I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled. I thought I looked beautiful. Imogen really knew how to highlight my natural beauty and not make it look like I had a mask on my face.

“Thanks Imogen. I don’t even know what to say.”

“Don’t thank me now. Thank me later when you’re snogging Nick later because he can’t keep his hands off you.”

I blushed at her words.

“Gross that is disgusting. Please don’t ever say that again.” A voice spoke.

I turned to my doorway and saw Xander standing there with a look of disgust.

“Well if you don’t want to hear such things then go to your room.”

“I was going to my room. Your door was wide open. You look nice by the way.” Xander said as he sipped his juice in his hand.

“Thanks?”

“Tell Nick I said hi.”

“Since when did you like Nick?”

“I never said I hated him.” Xander said and he walked into his room.

“Well that was weird.” Imogen said.

“Tell me about it”

“Oh it’s 6:45! Y/n you have to go.”

I scramble from my vanity and grabbed my purse. Together Imogen and I walked down the stairs of my house.

“You’re meeting him there?” Imogen asked.

“Yeah.”

“Okay.”

“Mum! I’m ready to go!”

I really wish I could drive myself to Nando’s, but I wasn’t 17 yet.

(A/n: I found it interesting that the age to drive in London is 17)

“Okay sweetie just let me get my keys. You girls can start heading to the car.”

“Okay!”

Imogen and I walked out into the driveway and got into the car. Shortly after my mom walked out and got into the driver’s seat. After a 10 minute drive we arrived at Nando’s.

“Alright text me when you two get to the cinema and call me when Nick’s mom picks you both up. I’ll drop off your bag after I drop off Imogen.”

“Okay thanks mom.” I said. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” My mom said with a smile.

“Have fun!” Imogen said.

“I will!”

I shut the car door and entered the entrance of Nando’s. A nice looking lady stood by the podium and looked up when she noticed my presence. She smiled.

“Good evening! Welcome to Nando’s! Do you have a reservation?”

“Yes it should be under Nick Nelson for 7:00.”

The lady scammed her list until she recognized a name.

“Ah, Nick Nelson right here. A table for two?”

“Yes.”

“Alright right this way.”

The lady grabbed 2 menus and began walking to a nearby table. She stopped by a table that was a little secluded from everybody else and it had a view of the field just outside.

“Here you are. We’ll just wait for the other half of the party and then you two can order.”

“Sounds great thank you!”

The lady smiled before she retreated back to her position. I decided to send Nick a quick text.

[Y/n]: hey love I just got seated at the table. Just let the lady in the front know who you are xo

7:01 pm

I opened the menu in front of me and began to scan the menu. I didn’t really come to Nando’s a lot, but I love their food. They always have such great choices to choose from.

When I was deciding between the fettuccine alfredo or the bolognese pasta I realized that it’s been awhile and Nick still wasn’t here. I checked the time and it was 7:15. Strange. Nick isn’t usually late to our dates, but there’s a first time for everything. It’s not like him to not text though.

[Y/n]: hi hi :)

[Y/n]: I just want to know what your eta is since it’s already 7:16 and you’re not here. I miss you💕

7:16 pm

“Hello! Good evening!” I looked up from my phone and saw a waiter with their notepad ready to take my order.

“Good evening!”

“My name is Joan and I’ll be your waiter for tonight. Can I start you off with some drinks?” She asked with a smile.

“I’ll just have a water for now. I’m still waiting for my boyfriend.”

“Sure! One water coming right up! I’ll add a second one for your boyfriend for when he comes.”

“Thank you.”

Joan smiled before walking over to a nearby table. Since Nick still wasn’t here yet I decided to scroll on instagram to pass some time. I was going through my reels when I received a text from Imogen.

[Imogen]: Soooooo how’s the date going so far?👀

I was about to rely to Imogen when I noticed the time. It was 7:26. Is it possible that Nick forgot about our date? No that can’t be. Not when he planned the whole thing. I opened my messages with Nick and texted him once again.

[Y/n]: hey so now I’m starting to get a little worried now bc it’s 7:26 and you’re still not here

7:26 pm

It’s not like Nick to forget something like this, so maybe something happened to him? I didn’t want to think like that, but I had to make sure he wasn’t hurt or anything.

[Y/n]: I just want to know where you are

[Y/n]: I hope everything is okay

7:27 pm

[Y/n]: please lmk you’re okay

7:29 pm

“Hello are you ready to order?” Joan asked.

“I’m sorry can I just have a few more minutes?”

“Yeah of course.” And Joan walked away.

My leg started shaking as I thought about something possibly happening to Nick. I needed something to distract myself. I guess it’s time to go back to the instagram reels. However, over time I got bored with that too, so I decided to migrate to instagram stories.

After a while I came across Elle’s story. It was a picture of her and Charlie and it said: Happy birthday to the bestest friend I could ask for. I smiled at the picture. So it was Charlie’s birthday today. Maybe I should DM him and wish him a happy birthday.

Elle’s story switched to the next post and it was a picture at a bowling alley with Elle, Tao, Isaac, Charlie and…My heart sunk. I saw Nick standing next to Charlie in the picture. I looked at the top to see when this picture was posted and it said 12 minutes ago. 12 minutes ago?

That means that instead of being here at Nando’s with me, he was over at a bowling alley with Charlie and his friends for his birthday. Completely ignoring my texts. He forgot about our date. The date he planned! I opened my contacts and called my mum. She answered on the second ring.

“Hi sweetie! Did you and Nick arrive at the cinema already?”

“No, um…” you cleared your throat to stile the tears from spilling.

“Y/n. Is everything alright ?” She sensed the change in voice.

“Can you just pick me up? I’ll explain everything in the car, I just…I need to leave now.”

“Sit tight and I’ll be there in 10 minutes.”

“Okay.”

I hung up before I could say anything else. I took a few deep breaths to compose myself. As much as I wanted to cry, I couldn’t break down in front of a bunch of strangers in a restaurant.

“Are you ready to order?”

I looked up and saw Joan once again. Now I was embarrassed. The nice waiter is currently witnessing me getting stood up.

“Yes um…can I have a fettuccine alfredo to go?”

The waiter frowned at my sad voice and expression, but she didn’t comment on it. She must have understood what was going on, since my eyes were glossy and I ordered my food to go.

“One fettuccine alfredo to go.” And Joan scurried off to the kitchen. I suddenly remembered Imogen’s text from earlier. I opened our messages and began typing.

[Y/n]: not great

[Y/n]: I’ll explain later

7:47

Typing…

I saw Imogen began to type, but I exited out of our messages. I didn’t have the energy to interact with anyone right now. I just wanted to rot in my bed and cry. My phone pinged and I saw a text from my mum.

[Mum]: I’m here :)

[Y/n]: okay give me a second

[Y/n]: I ordered food to go

I stood up, grabbed my purse from the back of my chair and walked over to where the lady at the podium was. She looked up from her list when she saw me.

“Did you enjoy your time here?”

I forced a smile.

“Yeah. I’m just waiting for my food.”

The lady nodded and offered for me to sit on the nearby couch. I sat down and waited for my food to arrive. A couple minutes later, Joan came with a brown paper bag that contained my dinner.

“Here’s your food Miss.”

I stood up from the couch and took the bag.

“Thank you.”

“My pleasure. Have a good night.”

I smiled weakly before I walked out of the restaurant.

—————————

I was currently laying on my bed. Staring at the ceiling for hours. On the drive home, I told my mum about what happened and she was disappointed in Nick, but she was mostly concerned with how I was feeling. I told her I didn’t really want to talk about it much and I went straight to my room with my food when we arrived back home.

Neither my mum or dad knocked on my door tonight and I was grateful. My mum probably notified my dad about what happened and knew that I wanted to be alone. Xander went over to his friend’s house today, so luckily I wouldn’t be bothered by him tonight.

I started to eat my fettuccine about 5 minutes ago and Joan even left a nice message on the bag: he’s a jerk. He’s a jerk pretty much sums up how I feel about Nick right now.

I still can’t believe he forgot about our date. Aren’t I important to him? If I’m important to him then he should remember when we have stuff planned instead of pushing me on the wayside for a friend.

I had no problem with him going to Charlie’s party. He went to support a friend and I would never hold that against him. My problem was that he didn’t leave the party when it was time for our date.

Nick chose a friend over me. Even if we weren’t dating I would still feel hurt because I am his best friend. His best friend since grade 1.

Does he not care about me anymore? Am I not good enough for him anymore? Does he not think I’m pretty anymore? Does he not love me anymore? My fork stopped. Could that be the reason for his recent behavior?

Why he’s been so distant lately and not sharing what’s on his mind. We used to tell each other everything and now i feel like he doesn’t want to do that anymore. How can I fix things between us?

You know how. The voice in the back of my head said. No I can’t. This is not what I’m doing that for. I’m doing that for the play.

But Nick doesn’t love you anymore. That can make everything better again. He can love you again.

I looked down at my half eaten fettuccine and I set it down on my desk. I placed the lid on top of the container and then I threw it in the trash. I walked over to my bed and threw myself onto my stomach. I stared out into the window as I thought about what I had just done.

It wasn’t supposed to go this far. I was only supposed to do this for the play. I didn’t even eat lunch today either, so I only ate one meal all day. I continued to lay on my bed as I ignored the sound of my stomach rumbling.

Tears started to pool into my eyes. This became bigger than what I intended it to be. Now I was doing this to make Nick love me again. Wait what?! There’s no way Nick doesn’t love anymore.

I sat up into a criss cross applesauce position and put my head in my hands. What is wrong with me? I actually thought that Nick had fallen out of love with me and the solution was to get thinner. More thinner then I have already become.

The tears started to fall from my eyes. I’ve gone too far. I’ve fallen in the deep end and there was only one person who can pull me out, but he wasn’t here.

I slowly crawled to the top of my bed and hid under covers. I started to cry and soon I fell sleep from exhaustion.

—————————

I woke up the next morning to the sun shining on my face. I searched for my phone on my nightstand and checked the time. It was 10:21.

I stretched on bed before I scrolled to see my notifications and that’s when I came across a text from Nick. I paused as I thought about what it could possibly say. I sat up in bed and opened up our messages on instagram. His text simply said.

[Nick]: can you meet me at our spot at 12:30?

12:30. That was two hours away. Although I was furious with him, I needed to receive an explanation about last night and I needed his presence after my thoughts took over.

I liked his message and I set an alarm for 12:00. I opened Netflix and put on one of my favorite comfort shows to pass the time. I had two hours until I had to meet with Nick so I might as well keep myself occupied.

My phone alarm rang when 12:00 came around and I slowly got out of bed and grabbed a nearby sweatshirt. I didn’t feel like changing into real clothes and I just wanted to stay in my pajamas, but I did brush my hair to look somewhat presentable.

I was about to exit my room when I noticed a pink post it note on my desk that I know I didn’t put there. I curiously picked it up and read what was written.

Hi sweetie! I hope you’re feeling better this morning. Dad and I went to the Goldstein’s for the day. You and Xander are on your own for food since we’ll be back late, but I did make blueberry waffles for breakfast! Your favorite! They’re in the fridge!

Love mum

I smiled at the note before I put it down and walked out of my room. When I reached downstairs I realized that no one was home, so I grabbed my keys, so that I could lock the house.

The weather was beautiful today. It was the last week of March and the weather slowly started to change. It was still as cold as ever, but sometimes days like these would pop up where all you need is a sweater.

The walk to Nick and I’s spot wasn’t a long one. When Nick and I were both 6, we first met at the park. Nick was sitting alone on the swings and I walked up to him because I claimed he was hogging the swing (he wasn’t). All the swings were taken, so I just walked over to the nearest kid.

However, he gave me the swing anyway. Once I was done, Nick followed me to the money bars and then the slide and before you know it we were best friends by the end of the day. And the rest was history. Now if we ever wanted to talk, or didn’t want to be bothered by anyone, we went to our spot, which was the spot where we first met.

My mind was blank as I walked over to the park, and by the time I got there it was 12:15. I was early, but I had the mentality that it was always best to be early than on time. I walked around a bit until my eyes fell upon the bench Nick and I always sat at and that’s when I saw him.

Nick was already there sitting down waiting for me. He was wearing light blue jeans, paired with a navy blue t-shirt and a brown coat. There was someone sitting with him, but after closer inspection I realized it was his dog Nellie, and that brought a smile to my face.

He looked lost in thought as he looked out at the field in front of him. Nellie noticed me first and quickly ran up to me. I crouched down at her level and petted her back and gave her a few scratches behind her ear.

“Hey you.”

I looked up and Nick was standing above me looking down at me with a smile.

“Hey.”

“Do you want to sit down?”

I nodded and I got up from the ground and joined Nick on the bench. We both sat in comfortable silence as we watched the trees blow in the wind.

“I came to your house last night.”

I looked at Nick.

“You did?”

“Yeah. I came over to apologize and your mum answered the door. She said you were sleeping, so I left. I figured we could talk in the morning.”

I nodded.

“Y/n I am so sorry. I shouldn’t have forgotten about our date and especially when I was the one who planned it.”

“You’re right you shouldn’t have forgotten.” I said simply.

I came here for the sole reason to hear Nick apologize, so I wasn’t planning on saying much during this conversation. I wanted to hear him out and listen to why he forgot our date. I knew why, but I wanted to hear it from him.

Nick let go of one hand from Nellie’s leash and used it to grab one of my hands that was sitting on my lap.

“I missed our date because I went to Charlie’s birthday party.”

“I know.”

Nick looked at me shocked.

“Elle posted a photo of all of you, at the bowling alley, on her instagram story.”

Nick sighed. “My plan was to only go to Charlie’s birthday party for an hour, but I had my phone on do not disturb by accident and I didn’t see your texts and-“

“It’s okay.”

Nick immediately stopped rambling and looked confused.

“It is?”

“Yeah. I am still very mad at you and you have to make it up to me.” I said as I pointed at him.

“And I will make it up to you.” Nick said with a determined look.

“But it was the first time you’ve ever did something like this, and what you did was an honest mistake. Even thought you did forget about it.”

Nick and I laughed.

“Just don’t do it again.” I said.

Nick looked into my eyes and I hoped he saw what I was trying to convey. Yes I did forgive him, but I was pleading for him to not forget me and put me on the wayside again. And especially don’t choose a friend over me.

Nick got the message and his eyes softened before he brought my hand that was in his up to his lips.

“I’ll try my best to not let it happen again.”

I smiled at his response. I thought our conversation came to an end, but then I noticed one of Nick’s legs began to shake. I became worried, so I placed my free hand gently on top of his knee and his knee slowly stopped shaking.

He looked at me and I gave him a comforting smile to take his time. I knew something was on his mind, and he wanted to share it with me, but he didn’t know how. After a few moments of unspoken silence, he cleared his throat.

“Do you ever feel like you’re only doing things because everyone else is? And you’re scared to change? Or do something that might confuse or surprise people? Your real personality has been, like…buried inside you for a really long time. I guess, um, that’s how I’ve been feeling recently.”

So this is why he has been acting strange lately. I was intrigued now that Nick was finally opening up to me about his thoughts, but a part of me felt worried. He mentioned how his real personality has been buried deep inside. Does he not feel safe to be himself with me? Or with Imogen or Charlie?

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t realize that I haven’t said anything.

“Sorry that probably makes no sense.” Nick said.

“No. I think I get it. I just…I’m trying to process what you just said.”

“Mmm.”

“You mentioned how you feel like your true self has been buried deep down. Have you been hiding yourself from me? From your friends?”

Nick quickly shook his head. “No. No that’s not what I meant. I have never hidden anything from you.” Nick sighed. “I just think that I recently discovered something about myself and I don’t know how people will react to such a change. I’m starting to think that what I discovered about me has been buried inside of me until now. I just don’t even know where to start.”

Nick looked down at his hands. I took my free hand and softly brushed my fingers through his hair.

“Well I think it’s wonderful that you discovered something new about yourself. It may be scary to change, but the people who truly love you will stay. And just to clarify, the people who you are worried about are the people on the rugby team?”

Nick nodded, but then he mentioned someone else that shocked me. “And you.”

“Me?”

Why would he be worried about how I would react to him changing.

“Change is a natural thing in life. We’re not the same people we were a year ago.”

“I know. I know, but if I tell you this I’m afraid how you will react.”

He’s afraid about how I’ll react? What could be so horrible about him that I won’t accept? I loved every part of Nick and I would greet every addition and change about him with open arms.

“Well the only way to know how I’ll react is if you just tell me.” I said with a warm smile.

Nick looked at me and I gave him an encouraging glance. He took a deep breath before he began to speak.

“Do you remember Harry’s party that we went to a couple weeks ago?”

Of course I remembered that douche’s party. I only went because my friends were going and despite me hating the birthday boy, I actually had a great time. It was a good night, until Nick came to me crying. After that night was when Nick started acting weird. Did something at the party cause him to act oddly?

“Yeah I remember. It didn’t really end well for you though. You never told me what made you break down.”

Nick looked down at Nellie who now had her head in his lap. He brushed the top of her head.

“You met Charlie that night and the three of us hung out for a while until you went to go look for Imogen.”

I nodded.

“After a while Charlie and I got bored, so we started to explore around the mansion a bit. We came across a room with a Christmas tree and we talked.”

Where was he going with this?

“We were simply talking until he started asking me if I would ever kiss someone who wasn’t a girl and I said I don’t know. A part of me expected to say no, but recent events made me reconsider my answer.”

He said I don’t know when Charlie asked him if he would ever kiss a boy, which only meant…I brought my hand back up to his hair. He looked away from Nellie and up at me with sadness in his eyes. He didn’t have to say anything to get me to understand what was trying to say.

If anything the signs made sense. Nick has always been nice to Charlie, but over time I’ve noticed he developed a soft spot for Charlie. At first I thought it was just him looking out for an underclassmate, but now I know there was something more to it.

Nick is attached to Charlie, which means that he is probably bisexual. That can be a lot to take in for someone who thought they were straight their whole life. He’s probably feeling confused and conflicted. I have no idea where his head was at, but all I knew was that I would help him through this.

He helped me with my issues in the past, so I will help him learn more about himself.

“Im assuming that was a lot to take in?”

He nodded.

“I’m not going anywhere if that’s what you’re concerned with. You’ve always been there for me, so let me return the favor.”

“There’s more.” He said with a shaky voice.

I simply nodded and brushed my thumb across his hand that I was holding.

“Charlie and I we um…we um…”

“It’s alright take your time.”

He must be really nervous about what he was about to say.

“Charlie and I kissed.”

That’s when my world shattered. I froze. This is not where I expected our conversation to go.

“And it d-didn’t go mean anything I swear it and-“

“But it did mean something.” I said quietly.

“No, y/n-“

I pulled my hand out of his grasp and Nick fully turned his body to face me.

“Y/n believe me the kiss meant nothing. I am with you! I love you!”

He grabbed for my hand again, but I pulled it away.

“You do love me. But you also have developed some type of feelings for Charlie. Even if you don’t even realize it yourself. You have feelings for Charlie and that is why you kisssed him! Not because you suddenly were interested in boys or because you were attracted to him. You kissed him because you fell for him!”

I stood up from the bench with tears in my eyes. Nick stood up as welll and grabbed my arm, his eyes furrowed as he grabbed my arm. He was probably thinking about why my arm was thinner than usual, so snatched my arm away.

“Y/n please! Can we just talk about this? I love you and I still want to be with you!”

“We can’t be together anymore! Not like this.” The last sentence came out as a whisper as it became harder and harder to hold in my tears. Tears started to form in Nick’s eyes too.

“Y/n.” His voice cracked. “Please don’t go.” Please don’t leave me is what he meant, but how can I stay with someone who cheated on me?

I was ready to be with him every step of the way with his journey. I thought he had an attraction towards Charlie and nothing more. Now that he told me this, things will never be the same again.

It took everything in my power not to give in and forgive him. To say that what he did was a simple mistake that I could look past. It’s hard to let go of someone who has been ingrained in your life for as long as you could remember.

But I had to let go. Not just for me, but for Nick as well. I needed to have some self respect for myself, and Nick needed some time to figure things out.

Nick grabbed both of my arms and snapped me out of my thoughts.

“Y/n listen to me. Please don’t go! I need you.”

But I ignored him.

“You know what’s so heartbreaking.” I felt a single tear fall my eye. “If you would have just told me what you told me about your confusion, and you didn’t kiss Charlie, I would have stayed with you. I would have continued to be your girlfriend and I would have helped you with figuring out your sexuality. But you did kiss Charlie and you can’t take that back. All Charlie did was make you realize something about yourself and then you acted upon it and did something I can never forgive. Even if you did develop feelings for him, you could have stopped yourself from kissing him. A whole seven months down the drain.”

Nick opened his moth to say something, but nothing came out. Everything I just said was true and there was nothing he could add to it.

I slowly took a step back away from Nick and several more tears began to fall.

“Y/n.”

My heart broke when I saw Nick begin to cry, but I remained strong. I was walking away and we both knew what it would mean if I walked away from him right now.

“Please don’t walk away. I don’t want us to end.”

“Me neither, but you have some things to take of that I can’t be a part of.” I whispered.

Nick took a step towards me. “Please don’t do this.”

I braced myself for saying the next three words for the last time.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.” He said desperately.

Without saying another word, I turned around and walked back home.

sometimes you have to flip a scene on its side

from gif: @wizardofthefairies (X)

[jjtheresidentbaby]

i’m so glad other people see nick as a cg + regressor i thought i was the only one

flip nick is so very real to me! and I’m using this ask as an excuse to make a headcanon post lol

Flip Nick Nelson headcanons

tagging: @beachreg

warnings: talk of canon events, mental health issues etc

When Caring:

mainly takes care of Imogen, it was a routine they already had before Nick got with Charlie as they were in the same friend group and even back then Nick was one of the nicer of the bunch

Nick doesn’t talk about his caring side until Imogen is comfortable enough to tell the rest of the group that she regressss

on a few odd occasions Nick watches over Tao when Nick first joins the group and while Tao claims he doesn’t like it at first, he’s totally lying

Nick forms such a soft spot for Tao & the other littles in the group

he likes to talk to Tara about caregiver problems™️ and she’s always there with advice or to just listen for a bit

he’s such a sweet caregiver, always willing to research whatever his little is involved in or struggling with

he puts his all into caring and takes such pride in watching over others

always has snacks, fidget toys, journals, games, books and anything else a little could need on hand

keeps a spare first aid kit in his locker just in case (Tao is very clumsy & Elle isn’t there at school so nicks had to step in at times)

When Little:

Charlie & Elle are his main caregivers but occasionally Tara will watch over him

not super clingy when he’s regressed but he does enjoy getting his hair played with & holding hands

lovesssss to draw & color when small

he’s mesmerized by basically everything Charlie or Elle do, he swears they’re magic or something

massive sweet tooth while small - but he loves fresh vegetables too

he’s more secretive/shy about his little side

he can get very anxious while small and gets into his own head a lot

he has a set journal for when he’s small so he can try and ground himself by writing things out (even if it’s not all spelled correctly)

he’s been trying to befriend Tori since day one of being regressed at the spring household, it’s a slow battle but Tori’s definitely losing

he’ll slip pictures he drew under her door and run off with Charlie to watch from behind the corner as she opens the door and looks around

such an outdoorsy kid & finds any reason to be running around his backyard or taking a trip to the park

him & Tao will film “movies” while they’re both small and they force the whole friend group into preforming parts

somehow worse at drums while small and atrocious on the clarinet per trying Tara’s

of course loves rugby while small but he also likes to have Darcy play volleyball with him like on the beach

superhero movies/books are a must while he’s small!

as much as Charlie complains about it, he indulges Nick and watches the marvel movies with Nick

he somehow gets Darcy & Imogen into them too and they all start to play superhero’s together

him & Imogen don’t regress together a lot as Nick likes to keep his little side & caregiving side pretty separate but when they do it absolutely Chaos with a capital C

can either be super well behaved or pretty mischievous

he offers to egg Ben or Harry’s house at least once a week while small

list 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or re-blogged something from you! (no pressure)

Thank you so much for this @jigglypuff1994! I rarely get asks other than spam so this was a pleasant surprise! I loved your answers so I'm gonna follow suit and skip over the obvious family and friends.

Getting haircuts - especially if clippers and color are involved. I love the feeling of short shaved hair at the base of my neck. I love doing fun things with my hair and I love my stylist Stephanie ❤️

Swimming/being weightless - I love to twirl around and do flips underwater. I could spend forever in a pool.

Ships where at least 1 person is in AGONY with pining - give me Mr. Darcy, Nick Nelson, Colin Bridgerton, John Ebner (Some Days are Diamonds). Give me the absolute agony of being in love.

Hot chocolate after playing in the snow - when you can barely feel your toes anymore so you have to go inside after you've been making snowmen and sledding all morning. Then you go inside and drink some hot chocolate and feel the life reach back into your fingers and toes.

And ok, I'm gonna give one to the kiddos. My kids performing little concerts - we have this little indoor jungle gym and my kids will stand at the top of the slide with their bluey guitar and costumes and sing songs from their favorite movies and it's the cutest and I love it 💖

Thanks again @jigglypuff1994! This was a lot of fun!

This is my first ever Inspo board! This is Nick Nelson from heartstopper! He is a rugby boy who loves Mario Kart, Minecraft, Marvel, doggies, and (personally) animal crossing! He is a sweet boy who regressed to 0-5 depending on the day and who he is with!

I dont see much content of heartstopper outside the discourse of what has happened in the show and I really wanted more sweet and wholesome to share!

[anti-homophobia-queso]

I have this highly specific Nick Nelson headcanon that just flits around my brain from time to time.

I think Nick's first inkling of attraction to Charlie was wanting to touch Charlie's hair when they were first seated next to each other in form. And I think Nick developed that urge because when he was a little kid (like 4 or 5) he became obsessed with one of those shampoo commercials where a woman flips her long, shiny hair in ultra slow motion. I think he developed an attachment to one of them where the woman had really bouncy curly black hair. He'd watch the commercial with intense anticipation, waiting for the hair flip. And he was so obsessed with it, when he'd hear the music start to play from another room, he'd run into the living room just to watch the commercial.

and ever since then, he's had a particular ~thing~ for dark curly hair
