The little glowing Christmas tree is such a cute detail 🥰

Merel

Poor Nick, it must be hard to fall asleep with so much still on your mind

Chloe ♡

the little christmas tree on the drawers 🤍✨

Charlie

Nick has something on his mind. I bet he talks in the darkness. 🤞🏻

Ava

💕😭💕

Debbie

Fidgeting in the bed. Mind you a single or is it a small double? And two teenage boys bit tight. I couldn't sleep either 😂

Lydia

kitty sighting!!

Molly Goat

Is Charlie doing back up Nick's buttons? That's so sweet! Also love the glowing Christmas tree, that's just a lovely (and impressive!!) illustration.

Fenna Elin

Help the caption 😭🙏

Charlie buttoning his shirt, putting Nick back together❤️🥺

Leira Torreblanca pineda

Love the Christmas details on Christmas season🤗 and Nicky What are u doing? 👀

Kristen

Sleep?!? Who needs sleep?! 🤣

Tanya

Excuse me...what?!?!

Robby C

Night time pillow deep talks? ...and Kitty made an appearance!

Juliane

This reminds me of the mini-comic (?) where Nick is awake in bed in the middle of the night because he is nervous about starting a new job.

Emily Rogers

These pages coming out are single handily curing my winter blues

Jo

Fidget... 💕

Merel

Charlie is putting Nick's shirt back on for him, giving him that bit of security and comfort back

Helen Povey

Aww that’s just so sweet , Charlie helping Nick … sleep ? Like that’ll happen 🤣

Jmejimz

Omg sleepovers in a single bed giving me high school flashbacks rn lol

Merel

Nick's arms don't seem to be in the sleeves though 😅

Barb

They're each other's home,comfort of a skin... it's always anytime felt 💕

Irem7

Sleeping in a school shirt not a good idea,so i think it will be off at night😂

gabs

christmas tree!!!!! <3

Jasollie

So curious where this is heading. I’d be fidgeting too if I were sharing a twin bed but something tells me the fidgeting isn’t just about the size of the bed…

laura

i absolutely LOVE the small little moments of intimacy that are not necessarily ‘intimate moments’ like fixing each others hair or how charlie is buttoning his shirt… (does that even makes sense? idk how to describe it 😂

Frances

Nick being restless 🥺

Lauri

Jane in the other room 👀!!!

gabs

oh i love this page so much there are so many little details to appreciate!!

Tina

charles you have sleepovers with ur bf and still didn't upgrade your bed??

Claudine

Charlie is amazing. He doesn't pressure Nick to tell what's bothering him, but instead he gives Nick the love and the comfort he knows Nick needs.

Ashley Baird

I love this perspective on Charlie's room, the details, the clothes on the floor, the Christmas tree, the pencils and pens, and the boys under the covers. It's so lovely and domestic and grounding 💕

Merel

Kitty remaining in Charlie's bed when Nick is there is so important to me. Don't settle for someone who you feel you'd have to hide your plushies from!

ACxo

Them 🥺💕

Caro

the little xmas tree 🥺

Scott Whittall

Make up your mind, Char. Nick just put that shirt back on...he he he. So sweet and calm with the boys dreaming by the miniature glowing Christmas Tree, and Pikachu (I think) keeping watch. But wait is there a little rustle in them there sheets???

Justin S.

Oh Jane….those boys had better be in your good books just look at them 🥹

arlo🧞

this is so sweet 💚

arlo🧞

that captionnnnn alice are you up to something????

Katha

The little glowing Christmas tree 🎄❤️

Elspeth Fougere

Urg not being able to sleep is the worst, and especailly when you don't want o disturb the person next to you, poor nick 😭 I hate that theyre both so busy and have so much on their minds this year, school can be so heavy going. Maybe Charlie can quietly help Nick relax and settle down 😏❤️🥰

ucfnurse

The little fidget😂☺️😊🙌🛌✨🌙💞🎄🫶🏻🏫☃️✌️🕊️☮️

Julie

Maybe he should hold kitty. 🐈‍⬛ ❤️😴

Oliver

Charlies hair is SO beautiful in that last shot omg 😍

Luke

The drawing of Nick cuddling Kitty from the Q&A is so adorable

Brittney

Love the little Christmas tree on Charlie's shelf, and I'm glad he is on good terms with his mum at the moment, we know from volume 5 that Jane is the way she is because of her own mother like it's hard when you do become a parent (I'm not a parent but I'm an fun Aunt to my almost 8year old nephew) anyways I know every parent has a different way of raising their children but I just wish Jane was a little easier on Charlie I know it's quite complicated to deal when your kid has mental health problems but knowing Charlie was able to tell them with Nick's help and they helped Chariie to get help for it, it's something that really showcases that trust happened in that so she needs to trust Charlie a bit more that's for sure but it would be kind of good to see a little more of Jane's backstory. Aww Nick what's wrong, our sweet boy?

Beam Bugge

tori mentioned in solitaire that after charlie's relapse nick stayed over and slept in a pajama he borrowed from charlie which was way too small for him lmao

lexi

the little tree😭

Nikki

Just a sore seeing these non-sexy intimate moments and domesticated moments. Charlie helping dress Nick and then the two of them on Charlie’s bed with kitty. This is what makes them Nick And Charlie to me.

rickettyuncles

by the light of the little Christmas tree 🥹❤️

Ania W.

Charlie buttoning Nick's shirt - so much love and care in one drawing 🥹

Lissie

The little Christmas tree 😍 So cute.

aniatka

Alice, I relised you are in progress to create an obligatory-must-read-tutorial of going into and diving into the most beautiful, wholesome, mature, caring relationship. Jonathan was so right. This have to be read by everyone and everywhere. We have a chance to have you. Even now, when I have not been a teenager for a very long time. ❤️❤️❤️

Polythene Pam

I love how you've lit up the little tree. ❤️it's so cozy 🥰

Hannia Diaz

Kitty always watching her Charlie ♥️

Allison Drevich

I love this foreshadowing to the mini-comic with the iPad game in the middle of the night, when Nick is nervous for his interview, and Charlie cares for him.

Jordan

One of my favorite mini comics is the one where they are adults in the future and Nick can’t sleep because he’s anxious about an interview and Charlie comforts him in the middle of the night. These two are truly forever 💜

Jennifer Paddock

Kitty! ❤️ Christmas Tree! 🎄 Snuggles! ❤️ But oh, that fidget... I hope maybe there will be some middle of the night, safe in the dark confidences being shared.

brie

they’re so strong for sharing a twin bed i would be so hot and overstimulated lmao

Steven

Shuddering at the thought of Nick trying to FIT in Charlie’s small bed WITH Charlie!

Jen

So cozy with the little 🎄❤️

Lolli98

That young age when you can comfortably sleep in a single bed with your partner.😄 They're so cute (+ Kitty).💙💛🐱

Button

At that age, you'd share a one person sleeping bag in the heat of summer and be happy to have your BF that close to you but in my mid-30s and 10+ years of marriage, I'm sleeping on the floor and stretch out....

Katrina

I love every detail on this page! I just wanna appreciate all of them!! It must be hard to sleep with so much on your mind still :( Alice that caption has me thinking you are up to something 🤣 I like how Charlie did not pressure Nick into talking but instead is giving him the security and comfort he needs at the moment. They love each other so much! 😭❤️

Jasollie

I think Jane can’t help but love Nick now, too ❤️

Amanda Wetterer

I love the little Christmas tree!! 🌲 ❤️

Loveislove

It's wonderful to have the storyline coincide with actual Christmas. Christmas lights are my favourite so I love seeing that tree glow 🥰. I would be fascinated to see a mini comic of last summer and the development of these sleepovers. What an evolution of Charlie's parents. Are there rules attached? Do they expect no hanky panky? Does Michael stay over too?

Loveislove

The tree glowing is almost like the globe from the tv series glowing when they are happy together. It feels like they have been kind of separate for awhile with different things going on. It is nice to see these moments of togetherness and caretaking and hopefully that fidgeting leads to some talking.

Andrew Pitonack

not sure how much sleep they will get by that last frame. lol. 😝 Nick, Nick, Nick. ha

Ashley Robinson

Facts. My husband and I just got adjusted beds bc he has acid reflux. In college we squeezed into a twin.

Claire

Love Charlie's hands in the top panel. Hopefully a snuggle from Charlie will calm Nick down. It is lovely seeing the Christmas tree glowing in the bedroom. 🎄 So lucky we are reading this at the right time of year. 🎄

Button

My hubby and I have the same two XL twin beds with adjustable bases. Best decision ever...

Larisa

If Nick cries in the next page, I cry 🥹🥹🥹

Ariel

Charlie's room is so special!! Love the little Christmas tree-it is so fun to be reading this at Christmas time 🎄 ❤️

Murgy

Nick, I hope you're not crying or having a nightmare. But I'm glad they're able to do sleepovers currently. Hopefully it will be helpful for Nick to have the comfort of Charlie's words, actions and presence. And its a bit of a change to see the boys dressing each other :P

David C Witkin

I love how Charlie and Nick have learned to value intimacy for its own sake and not just sex. You learn so much more about your partner that way. But as for what may be driving Nick's emotional state right now: More will be revealed.....

RCM

This page is so warm, so nurturing, and so soft and tender...it has unconditional love written all over it, and I have been looking at it with happy tears all day. Charlie's intuitive and very intentional care meets Nick where he is, from helping Nick pull on his shirt to signify the "talk" doesn't have to happen immediately (this little act echoes Nick's knowing care of cooking dinner while Charlie worked on his Pride Club application, doing what he could to meet Charlie where he was back then), to our time change being shown with just TWO Heartstopper leaves (one for Nick and one for Charlie) transitioning TOGETHER, to snuggling up as close as possible in Charlie's tiny twin bed beside the cutest little glowing Christmas tree (that I can just imagine Charlie placing with care until he found just the right spot to give off sparkles of light and hope but not shine in their eyes while they slept!), to the small but important details of the pre-sharpened pencils (I see that academic in you, Charles!), to having KITTY in their shared space because KITTY is also so nurturing and soft...all of these details portray that longed for space of love, of being fully seen and still loved, of knowing trust and of feeling safe... BUT...then there's that pesky FIDGET...which I suspect is caused by the disturbance of all of those buried emotions from Nick's childhood pushing up, sticking in his mind on replay (especially since Charlie has noticed SOMETHING is off), asking him to give permission to himself to finally be honest (and by honest, I mean to not sugar coat, to not immediately think of excuses for his dad or others, but to try and think about little Nick, and little Nick's feelings...and to honestly and vulnerably let big Nick feel those for little Nick because they are still trapped in there!). Nick needs to say first to HIMSELF (and then to Charlie or his mum or a therapist) that the micro and macro traumas that happened were NOT OKAY, and that he really wasn't FINE then, and maybe, actually, he is STILL not fine with it. I think Nick has seen what unconditional love really CAN and DOES look like through his relationship with Charlie, and that is giving him some space to think about what it SHOULD have looked like when he was a kid. And that is a really shitty realization at first...fidget, restless, wiggle, fidget...

Rosie💕

charlie helping nick put his shirt back on is such a gorgeous detail.

T

But Charlie’s bed is so smol!

Nyssa Rawther 🍉

Stoooopppppp they're so domestic it's too cute!!! I love the little Christmas tree on Charlie's desk and Kitty watching over them.

Ignacia

I was going to say!! it even looked to me like a like christmassy night lamp 🥹 cutest thing that we are having the holidays at the same time as them jeje

K Lyn

CHARS HAIR IS SO GOOD HELP

DogBefriender22

Love the jump from panel 1 with Nick’s shirt half on, to the middle panel with the pile of their clothes on the floor 👀 And the two of them all snuggled up facing each other so closely, in that tiny bed 😍

Cliff

Boyfriend sleepover approved! Being Head Boy helped at home too, I think! 🙂

Katie🐝

It makes me so happy to see them having a sleepover at Charlie’s🥹 and I love the glow of his little tree!

Cole Morin

I love them so much! I understand Nick so much right now. I have anxiety really bad and when I don’t understand how I’m feeling but just need someone to be present with me it helps and Charlie is doing such a good job at that already and Alice you’re doing so amazing at depicting anxiety! Thank you so much for all you do!
