For everyone worried about them having sex instead of talking - try not to worry too much! We're still early in the story and N&C aren't going to resolve everything right now. I know it feels super slow to read one page per day like this, and feels like Nick has been in a bad place for aaaages, but if you go back through the pages, it's actually only been about 50 pages since we first noticed that Nick was feeling anxious at the Halloween party. Not very long at all!

Charlie can sense that this is what Nick wants/needs right now so this is his way of caring for Nick in this moment. ❤️

Merel

Nick having literal stars in his eyes whenever he looks at his boyfriend is so precious

Alyce Ann

Oh, they are the sweetest. The stars in Nick’s eyes!

Mickel

I think it's good Charlie is listening to Nick when he said this is what he wants right now. It doesn't mean Charlie isn't going to ask again to talk after.

Patrick Cirelli

For everyone worried about them having sex, mind your own business! 🤣

Gemma 🍂💙💛

A welcome distraction for Nick haha. We all know they will eventually talk so there’s nothing wrong with this now, unless they get walked in on which they tend to have a history of 🤣🤣🤣

Charlie

Look at Charlie’s confidence!!! 🥹

Andrew Pitonack

🥹🥹 my boys, love how comfortable and safe Charlie is with Nick now. Now Nick needs to open up to Charlie, but for now this works 😎

Kristen

Love you Alice! Love that Charlie is showing g him love and giving him the care and attention he wants now. Plus a little distraction is good sometimes. ❤️🍂🥰

Hannia Diaz

Nicks eyes! THATS LOVE BABY.

Darren🍂

Charlie taking his shirt off himself, the way nick’s looking at him😭😭😭SOMEONE HOLD ME

Mandy Kumler

Charlie still gets all blushy when Nick looks at him. Beautiful job Alice!

Pansexualdarling

Their smiles and their happiness within one another. Oh, my heart. 💓 Thank you for your reassurance, Alice.

Beth Yoshida

Sometimes physical connection is needed when you're not ready to speak out emotionally. Nick will get there eventually. He's only 18.

Klara Dalgren

Oh, thank you Alice ❤️ Guess we're a bunch of worriers 😂 It's a kind of torture to read it in small bits like this, but a good kind of torture ❤️

Nyssa Rawther 🍉

The confidence is so BRAVE of him like...I can't even believe it. So proud of Charlie and I'm glad they understand what each other needs

David Crane

The way Charlie rips his shirt off first. That is a very changed man. I love how this little act illustrates that Charlie is doing much better while Nick is struggling. Great way to shift the story.

aaronhotchnerswhore

Nicks mind is going on about how beautiful his bf is 🥹

Merel

Thank you for the explanation Alice! I guess it does feel more intense for us than it actually is because we've been going page by page, discussing every detail.

Barb

I agree with alice, look at them, touch starving! Touch and intimacy heal and give solace!! This is their way to comfort each other🥹🫶🏻🫶🏻❤️‍🩹

ACxo

I adore how confident Charlie is now 🥺

Ann-Marie Still

Thank you Alice. Charlie taking the lead is just what Nick needs right now. Look after your boyfriend Charlie 🥰🥰🥰

Shirtael Cohen

They so cute I need another chapter already

Chris

Charlie’s dimples 🥰

Raeee✨

Alice, we trust you completely! They’re also still teenagers as someone noted yesterday. They have a lot of big feelings circulating! They’re going to navigate them as best they can. Sex is still a way to connect on a deeper level and convey love, which sometimes we need that leveling, so we trust the process. 🩵

Celeste

Sooo cuteeee

M R

Nick's just a little guy who needs physical contact and closeness to his partner to regulate himself sometimes, and Charlie can sense that!🫶

Sulagna Maitra

Nick and Charlie are safe in your hands, Alice. I am not worried 😘 Thank you for caring about your fans so much and putting our minds at ease ❤️ Hope you are doing well. Thanks for recent Insta update 🙏🌻

Kafui Sakyi-Addo

i’m so so proud of Charlie’s confidence!! thinking about how happy he is to take off his shirt now as opposed to earlier in their relationship; love this growth for him!

syd

i love them so much

Leira Torreblanca pineda

It is normal that they prefer to have sex before talking, I mean, they are young, what are you waiting for? At that age, almost no one knows how to express themselves correctly✨

Emy Girard

Why do I have a feeling they're going to be walked in on

Brittney

Oh my God we have reached 101 pages for volume 6 so far 🥳🥳🥳🥳 and best boyfriends ever, I just love how you can tell Charlie is really Nick's biggest supporter just like how Nick is Charlie's biggest supporter. Look at those eyes, it just melts my heart because they both know they are each other's homes like someone pass me a tissue

Adriane Tanjutco

Sometimes a hanky panky to open dialogue is necessary

arlo🧞

even though it isn’t talking it is still connecting and healthy. i love how confident charlie is now 💞💞

Ashley Robinson

Charlie’s vulnerability of taking off his shirt has definitely subsided and we will see how Nick now moves onto addressing his own.

CinD

The look of adoration in each others eyes says you are my person forever 🥹

Steven G.K.

Heartstopping! ♥️♥️♥️

Marine 🍂

Sometimes sex heals everything. And they could still talk after sex. They are teenagers guys.

Debbie

We are all here for you and your amazing work 🥰 we enjoy it a LOT!!

Rhonda Mitchum

I love how How Charlie is so comfortable with his body now?And I love the look of love in their eyes

Desi23

Literally sobbing right, I love Nick and Charlie so much!🥹😭😍

Emanuelle

My babies! I really hope they locked the door 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Katya818

Alice your ability to subtly age them up is breathtaking! Just like in real life, we hardly notice how they've physically changed until it just hits you! ❤️

Katrina

This page is so beautiful. I absolutely love Charlie’s confidence with taking his shirt off first because it shows just how safe he feels with Nick. I love the way they look at each other with such love and adoration and know each other so well that Charlie knows that this is exactly what Nick needs and that this is how he can care for him in this moment like you said 😭❤️❤️❤️and I loved your explanation Alice because sometimes we just need some affection before we can talk about our feelings and I agree that this is what Nick needs right now.

Fey 🍂

This part 😭😭😭: "Charlie can sense that this is what Nick wants/needs right now so this is his way of caring for Nick in this moment. ❤️"

syd

also omg !!! charlie is so much more comfortable and confident and watching that growth is so lovely. the fact that he just takes his shirt off around nick like it’s nothing made me smile !!! go charlie

Fey 🍂

So many things on a single page: them knowing each other so well, Charlie feeling super confident, Nick needing to connect with Charlie because he’s his safe place 🥺

Desi23

Self-confidence Charlie Spring I love you so much!

Sabrina

I can only agree with the rest, I simply LOVE how confident Charlie is now after everything he’s been through. Also him sensing and knowing what Nick needs right now, is showing that he loves him endlessly and knows exactly what he needs to make him feel better. It shows he’d literally do anything to make Nick feel good and wants him to feel as good as he’s feeling right now. I’m curious to see how it’ll develop with Nicks obvious struggling and anxiety and how Charlie will help him through it and fight Nicks demons with him

Victoria Panaro

Love can't cure a mental illness but I can definitely help you feel better in so many ways... Specially when you share such a huge bond like N&C . You can see it in their eyes. They are exactly where they need and want to be. I think Alice is right we have to stop worrying about Nick's anxiety.. of course they will eventually talk, but it makes sense that is not happening now because we, fortunately, have a long way to go before the end of the volume. I'll enjoy and cherish every page 🥹 no matter how complex or simple each one of them is. 💛💙🍂🍂🍂

Ellen🌈✨

even in a page with no speech, you know exactly what they’re thinking 💖✨

Melissa Burch

I love how invested we all are into the lives of these characters that Alice has to reassure us that it will all be ok 🤣 It's due to her amazing talent that we care so much about these fictitious boys and I truly appreciate her looking out for us ❤️

Susa Nodewald

Thanks, Alice, for the clarification 💛💙

Katha

I want to live for a while in this page 🥺💕😍

Laura

I hope they talk after!!! I know they are in love and horny teenagers but Nick has to stop avoiding hard topics.

Jonathan Payne

Nick is very obviously someone who is comforted by positive touch. I ❤️ that Charlie senses it and is confident enough now to give it! Alice, I love your comment about Charlie giving Nick what he needs in this moment. We can only give what we can in the moment. Trying to do more can actually be damaging to both people.

aniatka

Same though! Thanks Alice for this cozy everything-is-as-it-should-be consolation. You made my day with both: the page and the comments. How good it feels! ❤️🤗

Flavia Morlacci ☾𖤓

Nick's sparkling eyes are something amazing. I love how confident Charlie has become, taking off his shirt without worrying anymore, Like it's something natural. ❤️🥺 I think everyone is worrying too much for them always having sex, I feel like Charlie knows what he is doing and Nick too, they're not kids. and if this is a way to relieve stress good for them, eventually they will find a way to talk about Nick's situation. Now we should let them have their moment

Claudine

I was worried for Nick and i'm so happy to see this panel with a smiley en relaxed Nick. Sex first is definitely the best decision.

Nikki

Ohh this page..! Already up in my favourite HS pages ever I think and that’s purely based on their expressions. Take into account the way they’re drawn just fitting together, the sparkles, the background, Nick twirling Charlie round like that… and that’s before even considering how quickly and confidently Charlie took his t shirt off. Officially melted 🫠✨ Also thank you for the note Alice, I think you’ve previously always made it really clear how Charlie knows his boyfriend better than probably anyone else 🫶

Jenna Weasenforth

Sex heals all. 🤣 And look at Charlie be so confident to take his shirt off!!! 🥹

BEL

So glad to see Nick’s sad eyes turn to a happy smile on this page (and TBH who wouldn’t be happy at this precise moment in time?!). Also, just wondering, Alice, if we’re gonna get the pillow fort in this volume..?? 👀✨❤️✨

Rafaela Molero

what’s on charlie’s chest? those are scars or is just part of the drawing

Lauri

This is so sweet Alice ❤️

Loveislove

Ahh, Alice - thanks for calming us all with your words and beautiful drawings. Talking be damned - I love their love and happiness together. My day is good 👍🏻

Maia

Thank you for reassuring us

ChristinaP

Omg loooove it 😍😍😱♥️🫶

Brittany Cournoyer

I love that Charlie was comfortable to take his shirt off while Nick’s was still on. Shows so much growth in his confidence.

Merel

Does anyone else think Nick's nose looks a bit blocky in the fifth panel? (The one where Charlie looks at him) I can't quite put my finger on what it is 🤔

Ada Suzany

thanks Alice!!! Have a nice day ✨️

Katrina Chavez

They love each other so much 😭🥰❤️

Jennifer Paddock

What Alice said! ❤️ I think we're all so conditioned for drama and miscommunication and angst that a lot of people forget what Heartstopper is at its core - Nick and Charlie in love forever. ✨️

Philippe Parvais

We all know a certain someone’s gonna screw this up (looking at you David )

Krystyn

Confident Charlie 💜 I love all the close ups on their eyes!

Claire

Love the useful note there Alice -- it has not been long at all. And this page just = love and happiness to me. 😍

Bob Scardino

They never fail to make me smile when I see them together! And I really like seeing Charlie being so confident in his body. Heartstopper gave me the vocabulary about my first 'crush' many years ago. And I have the biggest smile right now thinking about him.

Lorna O’Neill

I love this page so much 😍 honestly it's all been said but the look of love in their eyes and how confident Charlie is in himself and with Nick it's just so beautiful ❤️ thank you Alice for these boys and for your words ❤️ its so true even though it's felt like Nick has been struggling for a very long time it hasn't actually been as long as it feels and we know Charlie has got this 😍

Vadant18

As a devastated American after this election, you have NO idea how much your pages are bringing some of us much needed joy and comfort. I so wish we lived in the Heartstopper universe. Thank you for always showing us that there are beautiful ways to live with acceptance and communication. We all need to strive to be more like Nick and Charlie! You are wonderful, Alice ❤️

Glenn

Alice, thanks for the clarification. Your handling of this storyline has been sensitive and caring. I look forward to seeing where you take this. I can relate to how C&N are feeling.

Shannon Funt

Thank you for taking care of us Alice ♥️♥️♥️ (and Nick & Charlie ♥️)

Katie H

Charlie's confidence of taking his top off first 🥹 hope they've locked the door and David doesn't walk in

eva cuervo

This page is as if you were watching a movie: the kiss, Charlie's movement to take off his shirt, the face with which Nick looks at him (OMG!!!), Charlie's face, Nick's hands holding him, the movement falling on the bed and that final hug......you are a genius Alice. ❤️

Diana N

What Alice said is what I was saying yesterday. The talking will come but that euphoria of having sex with your love is what Nick needs right now. It’s the closest you can be with another person. That release and comfort is what he needs right now. Alice perfectly captures the pure love and joy on his face. He’s with his Char and this is what he needs right now. Then he will be comforted in the arms of his love and that feeling of being held skin to skin is also the best feeling in the world. Alice won’t let the much needed conversation get let go but right now as she confirmed, this is what he needs ❤️

RudyL

Not worried at all - as always, we trust in you, Alice! Things are unfolding beautifully & all shall be well!

ashley ✨

not worried at all alice, i trust you completely and you’re handling this storyline with such care💗

Samantha White

I'm wondering if David won't walk in but will say something later about hearing them through the wall.

Kitsune Danno

I really want that this comment from Alice will be in printed book. Because this words change all this situation for me A LOT!

kat

the last panel😭😭😭😭😭

Glenn

Until I see otherwise, after his breakup with Jess, I'm giving David the benefit of the doubt.

Diana N

I just realized I wrote what he needs right now a lot 😂 sorry. I blame lack of sleep 😴

Justin S.

I love that Charlie has no qualms about taking his shirt off now... and you're right that reading a page a day does feel like sustained anxiety for Nick, but thank you for this and every panel <3

eva cuervo

Sometimes, you don't need to talk. Sometimes you just need a hug and a kiss, to know that you are not alone and that someone supports you unconditionally. For me, having my partner hug me solves many things, because there, in his arms, I feel like I am at home.

RCM

I am continually grateful for the way that Alice portrays Nick and Charlie having sex. It's such a beautiful balance between normalizing horny teenage boyfriends who can't/don't really want to ever keep their hands off each other (I mean look at those blushes and eagerness and starry eyes and dimples and sparkles everywhere!) and their sharing of one of the sweetest love stories ever written, where a soft, warm smile promises a mutually understood truth of "you are safe with me" and a (hopeful!) future of "I love you so much and think I always will," AND...when they touch, they don't have to say anything at all because that touch connects their hearts to the same wavelength where words aren't necessary... I love this so much because it's queer sex and we need such representation, I love this because their "not talking just touching" also affords THEM some privacy into their relationship, and I love this because it's just so beautifully done. I keep looking at that last panel full of joy and light and radiating love...and thinking about all the times they have giggled at themselves and asked, "Why are we like this?" and I'm like because of this, boys...bottle up all of the pure love in the last panel, and that is exactly why you are like this...because you are Nick and Charlie and you are SO IN LOVE.

Larisa

Ok, can I just say that indeed, we didn't really notice that Nick is not doing ok up until recently but Kit absolutely killed it in Season 3 with the portrayal of just how not ok he is! I finished the season wanting to write a formal apology to comic Nick for not noticing his declining mental health earlier 💔

Beam Bugge

well it has been a few months in the story :( but we'll try not to worry too much, even if this fandom is filled with overthinkers haha also, did Charlie always have chest hair or is that a new thing?

Christie

Confident Charlie just whipping his tee off 💜

Rania Gollakner

Sometimes you just need to be held. Almost like filling up a gas tank before a big road trip. Right now Nick needs a recharge to have the energy to dive into the tough parts. ❤️

Ciara

He needs to get out of his head so I can totally see how releasing some extra tension will help! Love seeing Charlie so confident. And Nicks eyes are so wonderfully loving and vulnerable yet comforted on this page ❤️

HLMac88

Nick needed to feel close to Charlie, that’s what he was having trouble with-Charlie being busy and not having as much time with Nick which sent Nick further down the “who am i without Charlie” rabbit hole. They will talk, right now they need this physical intimacy to connect. It’s understandable and beautiful that they know each other so well. ❤️

ucfnurse

So sweet!!!☺️😊👏❤️‍🔥❣️🌟🌞🌻💥🫂🧸✌️🕊️☮️

Tori-Gaye Atterbury

We trust your vision so there’s never any need to worry. This is your story. We’re just here to delight in it with you 🥹🫂💗

Button

Love the confidence Charlie!! It does feel slow but I love the build up. Thanks for your great work Alice!!

Lolli98

This page is such a treat again!❤ Thank you Alice, for bringing us back down to earth with our worrying thoughts! Indeed it feels like an eternity...how many of the last pages described only this one day? *going back to count it*

Valentin Tervel

Thanks Alice for the additional comment!

Lisa Punky Girl

Ahhh love seeing confident charlie!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Nicole

It’s so emotional for me to read these pages. Seeing how in love they are and how much they support each other and then thinking about what happens in the N&C novella… makes it even more heartbreaking but also so much more powerful. I love the novella but I think I’ll love it even more after reading vol 6 (though I hope vol 6 never ends!) Also, starry eyed Nick is my favorite Nick I think 🤩🥰

DogBefriender22

❤️❤️❤️ SO SO GOOD to see Nick smiling now

zara ahmed !!

i think i would like everything to be resolved as slow as possible actually i’m in denial about this being the last volume ever 😭

melissa

alice your drawing is just exquisite 😭 ❤️

Jenny Delcher

Alice, I really have to say that I love the comments on this page. You really care about your readers. Thank you

Anna Deligio

Thanks, Alice. Your explanation helped a lot. ❤️

Amber

Sometimes physical touch is what we need for comfort in any given moment. It doesn’t make what’s going on go away, it just makes it more bearable to confront once you’ve received some comfort.

Chloe Esther Gallagher

Thank you for the explanation ❤️ and I understand the feeling of just needing your person to be with you

Charly

I hope their history of getting walked in on is not gonna continue..

a book dragon

Their emotional caretaking and supportive, open communication (even though they can't get it right all the time) are such an amazing example of a healthy relationship. The way they balance giving and taking as individuals within the relationship supports their being end game despite their tender ages. Confident Charlie! ✨️🥰🤗

Angie Michaelis

This whole page is gorgeous. 💙✨💙 I will never get over the way they look at each other, the adorable blushing, and the starry eyes. And thanks for your comment, Alice. We trust you. And this definitely seems right for Nick in the moment, as many have mentioned that physical touch is a big part of his love language, and being with Charlie is so grounding for him.

Calfic

Good explanation!! (I take this to mean also that it won't turn into a pattern, which was my worry.). Nick clearly can't talk or process right now, and he needs comfort and connection. Maybe that release will help him open up, maybe not, but either way, easing that tension isn't bad.

Scott Whittall

I think you read our minds, Alice. Beautiful page! Did you ever think in Heartstopper you’d have to draw underarm hair?? LOL!!

Glenn

Nick is going to put a hotel style do not disturb sign on his doorknob

Rebecca

Love this! There are some moments when you just don’t want words ❤️

Bobbi Harvey

Sometimes the best talks come after sex anyway.

artxsta

absolutely beautiful page, alice. and wonderful reminder to everyone that charlie is VERY MUCH in tune with what nick needs. i think a lot of ppl forget that satisfying a partner’s physical needs in a relationship, such as in times of stress, can open the door to conversations later due to the connection being reinforced and emphasized. as you said, charlie can tell, based on body language and nick’s pure want, that this is what he needs right now, and he’s more than happy to give it to him. also, the last panel might just be my favorite one from the entirety of the series.

Robert

Just what 'Doctor Charlie' ordered. It might just ease some of the tension that Nick is feeling.

Lainey

Great reminder, Alice! We have full trust in your decisions for the story and cannot wait to see how everything plays out💗

Julie

Kind of off topic, but I don't think David knows yet that Charlie sleeps over, and I hope he finds out and is secretly jealous that Nick & Charlie's relationship is so much better than his failed one with Jess. Sorry (not sorry) if that's petty of me. :)

Jordan

This is such a beautiful parallel to way back when Nick was sitting on Charlie’s bed totally lost in his gay crisis moment and Charlie just gave him the world’s most comforting and gentle smile and hug which was exactly what Nick needed in that moment. There are soooo many beautiful examples of Charlie knowing what Nick needs and caring for him perfectly - the understanding when Nick panicked about kissing in the park, the hug after the family dinner, the physical comfort and warmth after their chat when Nick shared he felt like he was the fragile one, etc. Their relationship is soooo tender and supportive and consistent in all ways ❤️ I love the episodic nature of this story because we can see these patterns and parallels over the years as they mature and grow together

ChristinaP

has it been said how many pages alice expects chapter 8 to be? ☺️ just curious hehe

Harriet Echo

Thanks for the reassurance Alice 🥹🫶🏼 this page is what I was hoping for them 🥹❤️ beautiful x

Glenn

Nick is in pain and Charlie is what he needs right now. The last thing on Nick's mind is David. Who knows, after his break up with Jess, maybe David has a little better perspective.

Sarah

This is a very small and really not important point, but it was pointed out to me recently that people with boobs tend to take their shirts of the way Charlie does here (with crossed arms from the bottom) but flat chested folks are much more likely to grab their shirt from behind their neck and pull it off that way. Source, the internet and my husband 😆 Like I said, not that important, but it did jump out to me when I saw Charlie reaching for the hem of his shirt

hwalker

Perhaps it indicates an unconscious habit of hiding his chest more with his hands crossed?

Roxy

Love how Charlie's now confident to just take off his shirt! So much growth and also the intimacy between them will help nick be able to probably confide in charlie more brings people closer together sometimes when they need it most ❤️ stories fantastic alice! Xx

Teri Lyn

I love Alice for clarifying ❤️ we still love it

Ariel

Ahhhhh I'm so in love with how supportive Charlie is here, know what Nick needs and wanting to care for him!! Beautiful page Alice!✨️🍂

Oliver Midson

Ooh Charlie’s got some chest hair!

Beth

man as an aroace I live so vicariously through them. They're such a sweet couple 🩷

Lolli98

This day in Nick's life started on September 27th for us, 27 pages ago. No wonder it feels like an eternity to us with Nick not talking.😉

Kay Cherry

We have already seen Nick open up to Charlie when he feels most secure and I believe their love language is physical touch and I think Alice has portrayed this so well. Nick will open up eventually and Charlie knows that Nick needs him there and is happy to be that support for Nick. In whatever way he needs. And they both are comfortable enough to speak up and say sex is not what they need atm. But for this moment it is.

RO

Alice your drawing style is magic, they look older than they did in vol5 and I can’t say exactly why..? But it’s beautiful 🥹❤️

Murgy

Nick is literally star struck looking at his confident boyfriend, not quite able to believe his luck in finding Charlie, let alone getting to be with him. For the moment he can forget about his issues and just enjoy himself, letting the world drift away for now.

SoraNoRyu

Thank you Alice for clarifying! I'd like to add that sometimes, feelings are just too fresh to talk about them, and a distraction can be more helpful to regulate your emotions and have a productive conversation at a later date, rather than a messy one in the moment. At least that's how I read Nicks request for sex here - he's good at knowing, and communicating, what he needs emotionally.

Kassie K Wilson

So so good 🥹🥹🥹 I love how confident Charlie has become in all areas. He’s thriving! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Kassie K Wilson

Valid lol 😂 I love Patreon and the privilege of getting content early, but it does come with the page-a-day torturous pace lol

Cody

Does anyone know how much time has gone by over the 50 or so pages?

Brenda L

The little details for showing how they have aged up 🥹 I find it a bit funny that Alice had to tell us to stop worrying about our anxious character 😄 my anxious personality can’t help it sometimes

Brynn Rabinowitz

Everyone has different coping strategies. Nick seems to benefit from physical contact with Charlie. We have seen him hug or lean into Charlie to recharge. He has said he feels more like himself with Charlie around.

Maya

Oh this page is GORGEOUS

Kima🦋

ch 8 started sept 5 and it's at least november now so just a couple months

Ana Alicia Aranda De Contreras

Even though he has sex, it is an intimate moment for both of them and if it helps Nick feel better and more loved, I don't see the bad thing, although you are right, Alice, things are not fixed with sex.

Gracie Bou

I do appreciate the reassurance from Alice. And absolutely the closeness of intimacy can be a form of care 🩷

Sabrina

I agree! They are starting to look more manly like with the small amount of added body hair and their torsos seeming more…I dunno? Broader? Either way, it’s fantastic 🥰

Marilou Jaen

The love just oozes on this page. It makes my heart so happy. ❤️

Amanda Wetterer

I love this Alice! They will work things out!

Ali Michelle

Charlie has come so far 😭🥹Alice the details of this page are beautiful. I’m so glad they have each other.

K

Shouldn't Charlie's hands in the second panel be inverted? Like, the thumb should be the furthest right, closest to the side of the shirt

Merel

Nick's nose looks slightly off to me in the 5th panel, like it's too blocky. It might be the line weight or the way it's positioned, I'm not sure.

Ruby

I don’t want them to be interrupted but I agree I hope david is uncomfortable. Sorry not sorry

Loveislove

I agree - working out balance in life is always a challenge. Charlie has a lot going on and that is marvelous. I think the aspect that got a little neglected was his relationship with Nick perhaps. Nothing wrong with making sure they have a date night or just some recognized time for just them.

Sam

Thank you for drawing his scars. I can’t figure out how to explain why, but that was important to me. Validating!

Audrina

Sorry I'm only now realizing this but Charlie being the first to take his shirt off... oh my god, the progress he's made in terms of confidence 🥹❤️

Neenie

They’re just having such a good time

Polythene Pam

OMG the way they go from a tender kiss on the previous page to a passionate kiss on this one 🫠
