Allison Drevich

Distraction first, talking after. Charlie won't let it go.

Melissa Hernandez

Enara M

i relate to not wanting to talk, but cmon niiiick you can do this

Merel

This is so cute but it also worries me that Nick still refuses to talk 🥲 I have a feeling Charlie will be able to get through to him though

ambie

THE SPARKLES!!

Dippity_Dip

You know how Dan Howell has heart eyes Howell I think we just had our most severe case of puppy eyes nick

Claudine Newman

Argh, Nick!! You need to talk to Charlie! You can be all cute and adorable but you need to open up.

Charlie

Deep talk can happen when you’re resting. Heads on your pillows, bodies relaxed minds racing. We know Charlie won’t let him off with deflection. He’s there for Nick mind, body and soul.

Katie H

Anything to avoid talking about his feelings, but Nick's eyes in the third panel though

tess ^_^

ok well never mind then!!!! the man said he’s not here for sex and nick is like Hmmmmm Actually

Hanne Kirkebø

Cute but I really hope they talk afterwards. Putting it off will not do them any good in the long run

springy

oh the horny sparkles are back

Victoria Panaro

I hope there's an important talk after the hanky panky! I'm sure Charlie will not forget to show his concern about Nick's spiriling

Harriet Echo

Ok that’s adorable, sex can be a great tool for healing and connection, but a little post-loving-therapy wouldn’t go amiss 🥲 🤞🏻

Pansexualdarling

Nicholas, darling, baby, pookie pie. Charlie wants you, too. He does. But he also wants you to TALK TO HIM.

Jomaries Amezaga

Aaaww Nick. Charlie, please, distract him a bit and then take advantage of his guard down and make him talk! It usually works 😂.

Barb

'You' must have been whispered, my heart will explode they are sooooo gentle✨️💖

NellieSayzBork

Sex with David next door? LOL I LOVE IT

Synz

there you go. for everyone in the comments from the last post that said 'omg why is he yelling at charlie??? wth nick' read the room ffs 🤦🏻‍♀️

Brittany Cournoyer

Maybe he’ll open up after some thorough distraction…post sex talk

Andie

Gahhhhhhh I love them so much. I bet Charlie lost it seeing/hearing that! I would lol

laura

charlie don’t let him seduce you to change the subject!!!! 🤨

Ann-Marie Still

Nick, you can't use sexy times to get out of talking. Use your words, not your body 🥰

Kitsune Danno

O gods, I want to colour this page 🥰 hope, it means that he just wants to be with Charlie, not sex, please 🥺

eva cuervo

Well, they can have a conversation later, right? It's easier to think when you're relaxed😜

Ana Alicia Aranda De Contreras

What kind of distraction are you thinking about Nick 😏 hehehehe 😛 and I can't have a good day without my therapy of seeing my children 🥺💗but it is understandable that you are busy dear Alice have a nice day or afternoon or night🥺💗

ama

that third panel, god 😭 the way you drew nick looking at charlie is insane, in the best way possible. his expression, and him saying "I just want you"?? 🫡 but charlie knows something is off, he'll gently bring nick to talk to him sooner or later, even if nick distracts with ✨️horny sparkles✨️ for now

Merel

I thought it was pretty clear from the way it was written that he wasn't yelling 'No' at Charlie, but more like saying it emphatically? If he yelled, it would most likely have been all caps and with some exclamation marks.

Raeee✨

Well, they can talk after when he’s more ~relaxed and vulnerable. 🙃

Merel

Nick's expression in the third panel 😭

gunclevanya

how long do they have? they must still have some kind of curfews, and it’s evening already… would they have time for nookie AND a good talk? lol

Synz

YES exactly!! I don't understand how so many got it so wrong.. like for me it was clear he was just emphasizing on the word no.

aaronhotchnerswhore

Nicholas we can talk first and then you can do your horny sparkles

Ava

💕😭

Cody

The third and fourth panel are great. Nick's hair, his eyes beeming up to Charlie, Charlie's hand caressing Nick's face. Charlie's expression after Nick says that. This melts my heart so much 🥰

Claire

Well, physical intimacy is good too. And no way is Charlie saying 'not now' with Nick gazing up at him like that. Just don't get to a place where you feel that Charlie thinks *that* is the most important part of your relationship Nick -- pretty please. I am now feeling that the conversation about Nick's anxieties may not be happening for a while yet.

Carmen

Great, you better talk after 🫠

Elena

Ohh I bet Charlie can't resist his handsome boyfriend 🤭✨️ But hopefully nobody will disturb them and they talk afterwards, if they even have sex!

Molly Goat

Reminds me of, "Can you just...kiss me...some more?" that Charlie says in volume 3 (before they infamously get walked in on by Ms. Singh). Nicky, buddy, I mean have fun I guess lol, but this is in no way getting you out of talking I'm pretty sure.

Beam Bugge

you guys are very cute and all but you do need to talk at some point :(

Glenn

In the third panel, Nick's expression reminds me of a puppy staring adorably at the person who makes him whole and secure.

KatieS

Oh, that drawing of Nick's face!!

Scott Whittall

I see a horny compromise in the works. Charlie is too cunning for your whirling sparkles and puppy dog eyes, Mr. Nelson. Firstly, teenage hormones. Next up, a little tête-à-tête during afterglow. There's more than one way to maneuver towards the necessary conversation and Char has this

Nikki

Nick, honey, you can’t always use sex as a distraction 🙈

Laura

Tbh I believe this is the start of sleepovers during school nights, like Sai mentioned in Nick&Charlie

Anna Varela

Nick want to evade the talk 😔

Evergreen

OK well, after sex is a great time for deep talks, too...

Lolli98

Omg, Golden Retriever puppy eyes and sex sparkles. Who could resist!?☺ I'm afraid it might take some time until we get the talk...

Cliff

David is in the house! In the show he walked in on them, but it hasn’t happened in the comic yet, and I’m not looking forward to that. Besides, Nick has to finish his spectacular personal statement so that he’ll get into Leeds where he’ll flower into a fully confident man who loves himself as much as he loves Charlie.

Ashley Robinson

As much as we’d love them to talk. Nick is definitely not in the headspace for that it seems. He craves the physical closeness of Charlie and maybe he will be in a better place after….or maybe they will just go to sleep. This is definitely not a straightforward journey for Nick. Lots of little stop offs.

DogBefriender22

Oh Nick & Charlie 😍 I can’t help but smile at this page! I do want them to talk, I really do, but a little hanky panky first isn’t such a bad idea 😄 I’m ALWAYS happy to see these two making each other happy - in any way they want. Sometimes needs just need to be met (!) and then maybe they can focus on the less pleasant stuff after/another day. They will get there eventually ❤️

Jordan

That’s a good point! I feel like maybe he’s in pure panic about limited time left with Charlie so it makes sense he would go directly to “let’s make the most of the time we have” rather than dive into uncomfortable topics 😔

Patrick Cirelli

As an older gay man the positioning of these two makes me go 😳🤔

Claudine

It is not a bad idea to first choose distraction in the form of intimacy and sex. Maybe it will help if he tries to disconnect himself from his worries and anxiety for a little while so he can have a better conversation and tell how he feels. I hope Nick doesn't wait too long 🥹

Mara

AWWWWW Sometimes a bit of a distraction is good Getting back on track afterwards though is very needed! I hope Nick can get himself to talk even if it isn’t a lot

gunclevanya

Nick is yearning for the days when Charlie had less on his plate, and they would both launch into snogging etc. without thinking. Nick doesn’t feel equal/worthy to Charlie anymore…

Lyndris

Yesterday I was wondering which distraction Nick would use to avoid talking… and voila, here we go 😐

Ariel

Nick's expression in the 3rd panal🥺💕 please Nick tho, talk to Charlie he wants to listen to you!!!🍂

EllieRLM

Distraction now. Talk after. CHARLIE DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT !

IME

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Adriane Tanjutco

Sometimes a little hanky panky to help the flow of conversation helps

Loveislove

I KNOW Nick is evading but he is also saying what he needs right now too. Physical intimacy can lead to a more relaxing state and emotional connection. It may help Nick talk later. Plus - they are adorable. Love Nick's sliding hands, Charlie's gripping fingers and the return of blushes and sparkles. Charlie isn't going to let this go. But he is a good listener too and following Nick's lead - for now...

Lindsey S

hmmmm Charlie did this same distraction method when he didn’t want to talk about how he was feeling in ‘Nick & Charlie’ . Maybe this is a communication problem they’ll have to figure out 🤔

Justin S.

Nick’s face, the sparkles, Charlie’s ‘yeah?’ 🥹🥹🥹 I’m hoping Nick will talk more afterwards

Kody

Nick should definitely be talking but I wouldn't be able to say no to his little face in panel 3 either 😭

Jasollie

Hopefully there is an actual lock on the door that they actually use.

Mgirl02176

TALK FIRST NICHOLAS!!!

Chloe ♡

istg if david walks in on them….

DogBefriender22

I don’t know why but some panels/pages feel totally Nick & Charlie, and others feel like a blend of Nick & Charlie + Kit & Joe… This whole page feels very Kit & Joe, I can totally see it, and hear it, being acted out on screen 😍

Krystyn

Alice, Nick’s puppy eyes on the third panel are irresistible. Charlie clearly can’t resist. 🥰🌟💜 And later … maybe Nick will find a way to express his feelings later. Sometimes it seems easier to evade the heavy stuff.

ucfnurse

Such beautiful faces!!☺️😊👏💞💓🌷🌞🌻🥹🎊✌️🕊️☮️

Nils

Please Charlie. I know you love Nick and you are vry much into him, but don't allow him to distract you. Remember what you did in order NOT to face your demons. Don't allow Nick to go down the same path.

Murgy

Nick uses puppy dog eyes. Its super effective! Charlie, I know that you love him, but don't fall for it. He's not ok and needs to talk. You know how it gets. But then again you know how being confronted about it can make it so much harder to talk about. So I suppose keep doing what you're doing, being there to fall under the spell of Puppy Dog Eyes.

hollie

the EYES, THEYRE OBSESSED WITH EACH OTHER 🥹😭

Katrina

Ugh I love them sm the way they look at each other and the return of the blushes and horny sparkles!! Charlie is so real for not being able to resist Nicks puppy dog eyes however I hope that they will talk soon hopefully after hanky panky because it is never good to evade your feelings but to be fair Charlie used the same distraction method in the novella. They are so in love and obsessed with each other and I’m here for it

Katrina

That’s a very good point!! I feel like it will help them relax so they can ease into that conversation

Katha

I‘m afraid this may be a “it gets worse before it gets better” situation again 🥺…but I think the way Nick reacts is very relatable and real…

Button

"Horny Sparkles" are back but they need to talk. We know what this building up to so understand why Nick would have trouble talking. This is the build up to that event and I am here for it. Any relationship needs to have room for serious talk that not always happens either before or after intimacy. Thanks Alice for another great update!! ❤️

Flor D. la Peña🍂

Maybe sex helps at the moment but we all know what he needs to do 🥺

Rose Diamond10

Thinking about you Alice. I’m recovering from a bilateral mastectomy, not the same as your body-affirming surgery but close enough that I wonder how you are doing with your recovery. It’s inspiring to see you continue to be creative and productive as you heal 💖

ashley ✨

horny sparklesss😭

aniatka

Sure that 'hanky-panky' is living like renaissance grace to Alice's art. We know what is the tribe using that though 🤣❤️🍂🍂🍂

Julie NP

You are so incredibly talented. Your art and writing are incredible. ❤️

Calfic

I'm not mad at the sex at this moment, but I would worry if this becomes a pattern.

Calfic

It does, unless it doesn't. I just worry about it becoming a Pattern.

Calfic

I mean Charlie stayed over the day before school started.

Katie🐝

Omg they’re both so gorgeous on this page !!! I hope they talk after 🥹

Calfic

A very close family member had one for medical reasons earlier this year. Hope you are doing well , Rose !

artxsta

I love your usage of body language/positioning as well as the format of the speech bubbles ! i don’t know if it’s intentional, but the way nick is looking UP at charlie, because nick is at the point in his life where he’s just in pure adoration and admiration of his boyfriend & all he’s accomplished (nick always has been, but just a LOT recently) he’s inspired by charlie, and so desperately wants to find his identity and purpose but is feeling so lost. also, the way Nick says “I just want… you” in a small voice, shown with small text, almost like he’s embarrassed by it, looking up at Charlie like he has all the answers just in his gaze, the secrets of the universe in his eyes.

Tracy

I just love the way these two look at each other ❤️ the emotion is just so pure, it’s beautiful to watch their relationship unfold, through both the good and the bad, it’s just pure joy to watch and read ❤️ Alice, you are truly amazing, so gifted, so talented, I’m so very glad I found Heartstopper, it really is an emotional support blanket for me and I’m sure for so many others, no matter what I have going on, Heartstopper is always there ❤️ thank you xxx

Elsie 3

Nick: “DON’T tempt me with sex.” Also Nick: “Please distract me with sex.” You’ve got this, boys. ❤️❤️

Flavia Morlacci ☾𖤓

oh please look at Nick's puppy eyes ❤️and let's not talk about Charlie's eyes 💕the way they look at each other is something wonderful 😊

RCM

"No, I---" "Actually, um--" When you are at a loss with your own inner struggles because you don't even know where to fucking begin to be able to articulate them, and worse, you worry how your thoughts and actions could/might/would affect those you love (like your mum and boyfriend)...what can you do? Spiral into a dark isolated spot pretending you are "fine" (which Charlie called Nick out on!) or cling to what is good and true and makes you feel more alive and more you than anything else in the world?... "I just want...you" YOU, Charlie Spring, who is smiling at me with those dimples and adorable grin, YOU, who right now being with YOU is the only way I can feel like ME and when I look closely enough at your affectionate and caring eyes, I can see the REAL ME reflected in them. (Please don't ever stop looking at me, Charlie). YOU, who is standing here so close and so amazingly precious. YOU who is clinging to me right now and making me blush with desire and love (I see that tightened hold on Nick's shirt in panel 2, Charlie!). YOU who is holding my face just exactly right, and I can see the moon and the stars and everything beautiful when I look up at YOU. It's going to be a scaffolding journey, Nick. It took awhile to get here and it is so okay to cling to the good...✨❤️

Brittney

Well firstly, Nick that door, you will get interrupted if that door isn't locked. But oh Nick, you can tell there is literally a lot on his mind I know it's kind of good to have somewhat of distraction from it but still, the longer you leave things bottled up, the harder it becomes to even speak about it. Also their looks, my heart melts 🥰 best comfort ever!

Diana N

Nick wants a comforting distraction first. If you’re not in an intimate relationship then you won’t understand how much that actually helps. After while cuddling Charlie will have an easier time getting Nick to open up because Nick will be happier and more relaxed.

Diana N

Exactly, he needs to feel good right now. I get it. Especially when it’s with your true love. There’s plenty of time during cuddling to get Nick to open up since he’ll be way more relaxed.

moon

horny sparkles make a return !

Nyssa Rawther 🍉

Charlie's startled face on that first panel got me LOL. Nick wants a randy little distraction first and that's OK but I hope he doesn't start turning to this as a coping mechanism every time. There needs to be COMMUNICATION, Nicholas. You and Charlie are so good at it. Don't worry!

Nika

Omg that’s so funny you say that because at panel 3 I said out loud, “that looks like Joe’s ears” 😂

Joey Frank

send them to horny jail NOW

Courtney Boaz

Gosh Alice, their expressions have been so stunning these past few pages. Your art style is so detailed now and I feel like that is so fitting for where they are in their story.

zara ahmed !!

THE PERSPECTIVE ON THESE? oh wow alice you popped off!

Elspeth Fougere

I can totally understand this. Sometimes the best way to deal with homophobia is to have some fantastic affirming hot loving sex. And, same kind of goes with egotistical pricks like david who couldnt care less about undermining someone elses confidence or think that being nice is making a cutting remark about them not being a well person. Sometimes the best support you can give yourself and your loved one is to just be loving, affirm your faith in each other, and accept feeling cared for and treasured. Like they say, the best revenge is to live well! ❤️ I love seeing the way they respond to each other and support each other and ask each other and trust each other. Its through all these little moments of caretaking and validation and reassurance, it does help build it up inside. Sure, we can do it for ourselves, or with councelling, or support, but its also ok for it to come from loved ones, as part of their commitment to care for us, and treat us considerately and with respect and love 💗

Overlord

Omg if David walks in on them istg- 😭

Overlord

No pageeee?? 😭😭😭😭

K Lyn

I’m sobbing. Nick, babe. We gotta talk about it.❤️🥹

Lynn

These two are just so cute 💙 Alice, you really are a genius! So much thought and care goes into every page! Hopefully Nick will open up whilst being little spoon x

Lolli98

Currently rewatching season 2 and can't stop noticing how often Nick says "I'm fine" when he's actually worried like hell! I didn't notice this soo much before. This behaviour probably gets reinforced when Charlie becomes ill and Nick has to be the strong one (or thinks he has to be)..

Tori-Gaye Atterbury

I think Nick is being avoidant right now but things are going to come to a head sooner or later. Poor baby 🥹 I can’t wait to see how Alice allows it to unfold! Brilliant as always 💗

lani

barely noticed that Nick is an F1 fan!

Neenie

On the one hand, adorable. If this is in the show, Kit and Joe are going to melt us all. On the other hand… Nick doesn’t know anything he wants besides Charlie… makes it hard to write a personal statement “hello I am simp”
