Madi

They’re so married 😭

mabidonn

Daaaamn Charlie 🫣

ACxo

The sparkles are back 🤭

Merel

Charlie's eyes in the second panel 🥲 You can tell something shifted in him after seeing Nick's sad expression. I feel like he wanted to gently push Nick to talk, but right now cheering him up is more important.

milo !

impossible LOL

Sara_JT

Awe boys... Sex is great, but you need to talk to one another 🙏🏻

Summer Hales

Nick's sad eyes 😭 Charlie has got this! ✨

Jennifer Berry

i’m kicking my feet and twirling my hair

Desi23

Ahhh they can be quiet!! Well done Charlie!

Sabrina

…or they’ll be really loud and shut up David for good 😈🤪

Steven

I say do it and make the prick of a brother HEAR some queer joy. 🤣

Kristen

That’ll be a short term fix…come on Nicky…talk to Char!!! Bless…❤️🍂

Chloe ♡

let’s just hope no one walks in if they’re quiet or not 🫡

Shirtael Cohen

✨This is such an fanfic moment and I’m here for it ✨

Harriet Echo

🥹🥹🥹 please don’t disturb them David!

Katy Boelter-Dimock

So so so beautiful! I love those last two panels, the sweetness of their expressions but also they look so grown…

Elena Squeglia

Thank you Alice for cheering me up everyday with your hard work🥹🫶❤️

Barb

yeaah, the lust😍 beats the noisy brother😃! I adore the way they prioritize🫶🏻🫶🏻

M R

Charlie is going to reassure Nick no matter what🥺🫶

Ellen🌈✨

i love in the last panel the crease in Nick’s cheek, this is the attention to detail i love from your art, Alice! 👏💖

Loveislove

Well - Charlie can help Nick get one thing he wants! And that kiss is the most beautiful tender thing. It is so full of love and their history and their relationship and their future. It is such a promise to each other - a vow. Dammit Alice, I think they just got married 🥰

Claire

Love those boys -- and they both look so cute here. Especially the hair. 😍 Distraction here we go.

Mara

Yeahhh… idk how likely that is..

Hanna Flick

Ughhhh I love this so much

Grace

Cuties 😍

Koko

I hope they still talk. Sex doesn't solve everything 🙈.

Clemence

Oh, the tenderness 🥹

Elspeth Fougere

Yes 🥰 no stinky bigot big brother should get in the way, although nick might want to screw a latch onto his doorframe 😬 I love that Charlie is confident enough in himself and their love by now not to worry and just think about taking care of nick 💗

Button

Hope after the "hanky panky" they chat. Once they are more relaxed and at ease. I can't help but think they won't though because this is a build up to the "N&C" plot but still. I know we may not see this playout in the comics so as not be repetitive. Also, hope you see this Alice, how are you doing after your surgery? Hope recovery is still going well. Thank you for the updates and sharing this amazing story with us!

laura

CHARLES FRANCIS SPRING YOU HORNY BOY 🤭

RO

Nothing conquers homophobia like having sex in the next room

Pansexualdarling

Nicholas, my sweet darling. Once you're both relaxed, let your mind free, bb.

JT

Aw he's such a precious angel, I love the progress of this story and the real world parallel, because sometimes we lose ourselves in the pursuit and care of others, it's not a bad thing but just like we're seeing when Charlie is stronger and able to have more better days than bad Nick doesn't need to hold the umbrella anymore to protect from the rain, now Charlie can return the love and care in abundance, these two 🥹🫶🏻💞

Mickel

Talking after, then — because we ALL know Charlie isn't going to just let it go when he senses Nick is struggling.

Laura

Nick, what did I say a few pages ago? Don’t get distracted by your fit af boyfriend! TALK TO HIM!!!

CinD

They’re teenagers at the end of the day… I get everyone wanting them to talk asap but come on they just want to see each other happy even if it’s temporary. They’ll talk eventually 😅

Angie Michaelis

This is so beautiful. Nick’s sad eyes make Charlie so sad in the first two panels, but Charlie knows how to cheer him up, and they look so loving in the last two. 🥹✨ Charlie knows exactly what he’s doing. Sex now, talk later. But maybe just lock that door. 🤭

Chloe Esther Gallagher

They're cute but I'm worried Nick is just trying to distract himself :(

Diana N

Yes, Nick needs to talk to Charlie and he will but right now he needs to just feel that intimacy and love. He’s been feeling so alone and so down and it’s not just about sex. It’s about feeling safe and the closeness and yes feeling good. If you’re not in an intimate relationship, you wont fully understand but he will talk to him. I have faith he will, just right now Charlie even recognizes Nick just needs him and to feel that love and extremely special bond.

Tracy

They’re just beautiful together ❤️ and can always sense when one needs the other ❤️ I’ve said it before, I just love the way they look at each other, the sense of belonging, it’s just lovely to see, makes my heart melt every time ❤️

Cody

Ugh. Please talk

Valentin Tervel

I mean... They are in love and they met early so it makes sense they want to have sex at this point. But I still feel that they became very rapidly very confident about it. I remember being stressed and felt pressured to have sex regularly before 18, like it is not normal not to do it. I don't really like this path they are taking...

Kayleigh Clarke

✨ Love these boys. Just hope that they talk after 😅

Allison

can they keep quiet…. 😂 but yes still need to have a talk!!!

Cliff

But will they be quiet, though? All sorts of things can happen when one gets lost in the moment!

Isabella Canelon

godddd the way this relationship has evolveddddd im in love

Nikki

Oh that middle panel might genuinely be one of my favourites ever now. The detail, the look of total adoration on both their faces, Charlie’s cheeky smile, Nick’s hopeful one, the bubbly/shimmery background and the sparkles. That is such a lovely panel ✨

Raeee✨

Get it out of your system, Nicholas. 😂 David better stay in his lane and let them have this even if they aren’t quiet. Then it’s time to talk, boys!

Katie H

The sparkles are back✨️ The way Nick and Charlie look at each other with so much love in the second panel makes my heart melt ❤️🥹

Raeee✨

A good reminder! They’re still teens navigating a lot of big feelings at once.

Jennifer Paddock

A little stress relief for Nick will be good, I think. Sometimes it's easier to open up after some intense intimacy. I can see them cuddled in bed together, in the dark, and Nicky finally starting to talk.

enbykeith

LOCK THE DOOR, BOYS

Ann-Marie Still

Well, this is certainly going to perk him up a bit. Cheer him up and then talk while his guard is down 🥰🫂

Kassie K Wilson

THEYRE SO PRECIOUS IM GONNA DIE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

kim

actually so in love with their love

Glenn

This could help Nick but I hope they talk afterwards. Also, it could wind up being the start of David accepting Nick. 🤞

Justin S.

Put Nellie outside to guard the door boys

Katrina

I love their growth sm. When they first had sex they were terrified because they didn’t know what they were doing but now they know what they are doing and are more confident with having sex and I love it 😭❤️ the way they look at each other with such love and adoration is beautiful 😭😭😭❤️

M R

This is so "anything" by Adrianne Lenker coded, which is in Nick's playlist to Charlie❤️

Fey 🍂

Nick almost backed out… too late Nelson… you already said the magic word 🤣 haha

aaronhotchnerswhore

I swear they have sex like every other day but good on you boys 😭😭

RCM

That middle panel🥹 where Nick looks up at Charlie and Charlie looks right back so deeply, both of them blushing and smiling, so wholesome and pure, sharing such a reciprocated affection, and a warmth, and so much grounding hope, and ALSO with have that perfect mix of an understood sweet yet flirtatious and very suggestive daring aspect, is literal PERFECTION. It's like Alice is showing us what it means to be really SEEN and LOVED (from Nick and Charlie's POV). Everything she captured from the way Charlie calls Nick back from focusing on the (reasonable) fear of David being home with a tender but also sassy offer in a way that only Charlie can do, "we can be quiet" (reminiscent of his similar reassurances at the very start of this Volume when Nick was worried about them "only" having 10 minutes)...to the gentle hand hold on Nick's head, supportive but with Charlie's thumb drawn in just the right spot to calm and support Nick is so...THEM. Nick and Charlie have one of the best kinds of connections out there...they continually meet each other in the softest, most selfless ways. Charlie KNOWS Nick is struggling about something, and Nick now knows it about himself a bit too, I suspect...but, I think Charlie can tell that talking can come later. Nick needs to regain some semblance of balance after all that has been building and then being really thrown off with David's sudden move back home. And It appears that Charlie and Nick have agreed on the best way to restore that balance...❤️‍🩹✨

Maia

The sparkles!!

Scott Whittall

Well, there's the horny stars, dreamy eyes (adore how you draw then, Alice), oh wait......wait....and sealed with a kiss. It's happening.....bolt that door you two. Talk with your man Char after ya'll take car of business......💕

aniatka

Oh Alice, your talent and feelings for our boys (our hihi) are just amazing. It's kind of magical how just little line here and another little line there make us see the whole universe of thoughts and emotions. That's stunning ❤️❤️❤️ Still in love with their love 🌈

Ruby Sinreich

Please just lock the door, boys!!!

Calfic

I think Nick can not talk now, and it is a way for them to connect. My main question is, say it with me, lol. Will this become a pattern? In terms of David, lock the door or put a chair in front of it. (My then toddler brother one time barged in on me and my then partner once and freaked out, so after that, my boyfriend would put my heavy wheelchair in front of the door when we wanted privacy.) I suspect he won't open up after sex, though, so Charlie getting advice from an adult might be good. (Also, I agree with people that it is really good to see them comfortable sexually now.)

Jen

Yess Charlie! ❤️🫶🏼

KathrynHarrop90

They need to learn about putting a sock on the door handle 😄

Calfic

LOL, I think in this case, Davd really wouldn't want to barge in, so maybe that would work, but Sarah might know what that means too, and that may be weird (As my parents have said we support you, but we don't want to think about it). Due to my disability, partners generally stay at mine, and my parents have always been like just text us when you don't want to be disturbed, lol.

DogBefriender22

LOVE LOVE LOVE how Charlie is holding Nick’s face in the bottom two panels… that’s Nick’s thing, (since the very beginning, almost always holding Charlie’s face when they kiss) … feels like a symbolic bit of role reversal 🥺

DogBefriender22

I kind of want David to hear them - hopefully will put him off ever coming in Nick’s bedroom again! ⛔️

Jenny Delcher

Oh my gosh! Just saw a post saying season 4 is confirmed !!! I hope this is not a joke !! Alice ? X

Evergreen

Bless their hearts. 💕 I hear a lot of people saying sex isn’t always the answer, and that’s correct, but their emotional bond is DEEP. And while it may take longer than ideal for them to talk and the delay could potentially lead to some conflict, the conversation WILL happen eventually, and they will work through it. Honestly, talking before you’re ready can be a recipe for everything to come out all wrong, too. They’ll talk when the moment is right (or when it smacks them in the face), but in the meantime, Nick’s (and maybe Charlie’s) love language is definitely physical touch, so they need to maintain that connection. Not being physical with each other during such an uncertain time for Nick would make things 100x worse. It’s going to be OK!

Claudine

The picture in the middle is everything 😍 The way Charlie is holding Nicks face is just too cute. And how Nick looks at Charlie is so adorable. His eyes says one thing: Charlie is the love of my life. You're so good at drawing emotions Alice!

Jenny Delcher

I really hope this is not a fake news. I saw a tik tok post apparently from Alice saying season 4 is confirmed…

aliceoseman

Not sure where you saw that but unfortunately we still don't have any news to share about season 4! We are still working very hard behind the scenes to make it happen. As soon as I have an answer, I will share it here on Patreon and on Instagram ❤️

Rhonda Mitchum

I'm at work and its like season 3 episode 8 when Tao asked Charlie what he is smiling at. I'm grinning from ear to ear

Luke

More like every day lol but it’s really sweet actually

HeartstopperFan123

As eleanor shellstrop once said: "talking about your feelings is the worst, its so much easier to just have sex about your feelings"

Beam Bugge

I think someone made an ai voice clip of Alice saying it, that might be what you've seen!

cassidy cassidy

Ok so thoughts, Nick and Charlie having lots of sex is to be expected like, their teenagers who have just started doing it for the first time. I know the fandom has started to joke about how much sex they have been having but now that we're starting to see Nick struggling with opening up to Charlie, talking about his feelings in general and being stressed about his future, it wouldn't suprise me if sex becomes an unhealthy coping mechanism for him, which could be worsened if Charlie doesn't know. I think this could be another strand of their co-dependency

PupFenrir

Perfectly said. I know when I am having a hard time, having someone physically touching me, like Char is doing to Nick, can help so, so, so F'in much. Just that touch can help me overcome whatever is going on and allow me to feel SAFE, comfortable and start to have the difficult conversation and let my emotions and thoughts come out

kyra @solarkitty

hiiii reading this while in r+j’s intermission 😭

Beam Bugge

cheering up nick nelson is very important, we don't want a sad dog here!

PupFenrir

I really do hope so much that you 💖, and the wonderful and amazing cast 💓 and crew are greenlit for the finale 4th season. It be lovely to have closure to Nick&Char, Elle&Tao, Tara&Darcy. Just remember, take care of yourself first and foremost. Since your working on that, if we don't get daily or weekly updates on here, I am completely and totally fine with that. 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂 💚💛🧡❤️🩷💜💙🤍🩶🖤

Anna Deligio

The amount of feeling you pack into the handful of lines you use to create their faces is pure magic. Thank you for sharing it with the world. ❤️

camelotcrusade

Not to worry: there's no scientific evidence to support that co-dependency actually exists. It was recently revived by social media as another thing to "advise" about, but the reality behind relationship dynamics is that it's much more complicated than "attached bad" and "independent good."

PupFenrir

So, as I sit here reading the panels, rewatching the show for the billionth time and reading so many fanfics (300+ now)I am so hoping we get the 4th final season of the show. But it made me think, due to some of the talented and lovely fanfic I've read; once S4 is greenlit and released, after a year or 2, so Alice has a healthy & relaxing break, we need a petition going for a Heartstopper movie showing Nick and Charlie's and The Paris Squad's Uni life 💚💛🧡❤️🩷💜💙🤍🩶🖤

Ariel

🥰🍂💕 in love with their love!!

Nicky Van den Bosch

Ok maybe they need this kind of physical intimacy for nick to be able to be emotionally intimate with charlie in talking about what is going on with him!? I just hope they talk after

The Wanton Dogfish

No energy left for anything other than talking would be a good state for Nick. Feel loved, feel safe, be open!

Brynn Rabinowitz

Honestly, Charlie just wants to help Nick in whatever way Nick wants. Nick really should rely on Charlie. I hope Nick gets therapy. He went through trauma too.

Hearting_Hobi

I know Nick side stepping the conversation is bad but I appreciate Charlie is willing to meet him wherever he’s mentally at.

Mgirl02176

“We can be quite~” No the hell YOU can’t Charlie… 😂

David C Witkin

I love how Charlie is able to draw Nick out of himself....

ucfnurse

The sheer joy in their faces!!!☺️😊👏❤️‍🔥❣️🌹🌟💥🧸✌️🕊️☮️

Nyssa Rawther 🍉

And also maybe lock the door LOL. Let David be his own buzzkill. Go have fun, boys

Evergreen

I suppose Alice could choose to go this direction, but the amount of sex they’re having is really typical for allosexual 17-18 year olds who have been dating for two years. And for someone who is still struggling to name his feelings and is worried that those feelings might offend or hurt his loved one if he doesn’t articulate them carefully, it makes total sense that Nick would seek physical connection until he can find words for his feelings. It’s also really OK to seek the comfort of physical intimacy with your safe person when you’re feeling unsteady. It’s more than OK - it’s a beautiful thing! If it becomes an avoidance pattern, that can be dealt with. But for now, it looks like a boy who doesn’t quite know what he’s feeling but does know that physical connection with his safest human would be helpful in the moment. That’s my take on it, anyway!

Rosie💕

i’m always here for charlie’s hair in every panel but you are so right.

Brittney

That door better be locked, oh these two, I know Nick will open when he's ready to but I just don't want him to wait too long

tess ^_^

we do not need a repeat of what happens in the show but in the comic pls and THANK YOU

tess ^_^

ok but nick’s hair?????? EAT

RyGy

Noooo Charlie. Nick needs to talk to you about stuff first.

Hannah

Charlie’s got game bro 😂

Maya

the way charlie cradles nick’s head on this page makes me feel all the things

Kassie K Wilson

They’ll talk, guys, Charlie won’t let him off the hook, but it feels like Nick needs an escape, which is not entirely unhealthy as long as he comes back to earth more grounded and present than he had been. Our boy is reeling right now, and Charlie can anchor him. 💜💜💜

PupFenrir

I have, I just have to go thru my 100's of bookmarks to find your work. I think last I looked there are over 8000+ stories for Heartstopper. And I'm on the FB group Heartstopper Book Club, so get so many posts for new works there too

Gracie Bou

This seems like a bad idea. 😬

PupFenrir

I tried doing a search for you on A03 and returned no results. Do you have a link to your profile or story? Would love to read more from you. Your username on A03 is very very familiar

Ana Alicia Aranda De Contreras

Let's encourage Nick Nelson so he doesn't feel so discouraged anymore and can tell Charlie what he feels🥺💗

Elspeth Fougere

Beam bugge.. Urg that is so icky! I cant stand ai just being available to anyone to do anything they feel like with it..so many nasty people, I know the majority of us humans would never, but there are enough that would that do 😭 alice deserves to be safe and respected and not have false words put in their mouth. Especially about important topics, but about anything really. We deserve our own autonomy and our own authority. Its mean to say its been confirmed when it hasnt yet

Bob Scardino

Be quiet? Speaking as a former teenage boy, difficult, but not impossible.

Bob Scardino

Yeah, to all those people who thought it was Nick being strong for Charlie, it's always been a mutual thing.

Dustin Westfall

These pages and stories are the only things getting me through these dark times in America right now 💙

Bob Scardino

I want to see a live action version of Solitaire with Jenny Walser before she gets to old to play it.

Murgy

I mean, you can be quiet, and it's David's fault if he hears something he doesn't want to. But Horny sparkles aside, its possible Nick needs this before he can open up, to be reminded that while Charlie will be busy, Nick is still important to him. And also, it might help Nick feel more confident in himself.

Idaemilie

Seriously the pages are so beautiful 😍❤️😍 Omg your story is so insanely good, beautiful and amazing. But I really dreaming to watch vol 6 on Netflix as well. 🫨 when you first have seen the story live it’s hard to stop wanting the ending storyline/scenes 🙏🏼❤️

Allegra2346

God this is so cute, Kit and Joe would devour this scene and I need the season 4 renewal news even MORE NOW

Neenie

Char like “I can make you be quiet”
