The look on Nick's face 🥹

Mickel

That face! My heart! 😭

Dionne Lakey

Oh I love you giving them privacy by showing this from behind the door. Thanks for this page today Alice, book signing again yesterday must have taken some stamina.

Gregory Toner

OMG 🥹 these two … seriously 💞

The Sarah E

this is what my heart needed today 🥹😭

Fauzi Hamadeh

Oh, I just want to give Nick a big hug.

Appleschloss

The wobbly speech bubble- i can hear how he's saying it such a perf detail poor guy

Kaz Savage

Nicks face through the door I have definitely been there before !

Hollyh

This remind me of the scene in Paris (Truth or dare s2) between Tara and Darcy after the party

a

oh my angels☹️☹️☹️

T

Fully crying right now 😅🤦🏻🩷

hayley

charlie didn't leave and nick opened the door, some process is being made.

Elena

Never thought I'd be so happy about an open door! 🥺

Molly Goat

NICKKKKK 😭😭😭

Anne Marie

Again the relief. It’s gonna be okay, guys. It will. Nick needs water, sleep and therapy but everything will be okay

OSM

I sure I’ve said this everyday for the past week but, Oh Nicky.

flynn tasker

ALICE I CANTTTT! they are sooo cuteee ❤️

Barb

The way they're capable of great deep level of empathy with each other will always make me feel even more adoration for them🫂🫶🏻

Kim

Feeling seen. Definitely been messy with a patient sweet partner caring for me. How dare you make me feel this morning 😿?

April

Do you think Charlie rushed down to Nick or do you think Nick pulled Charlie to him???

Allison Drevich

Alice, you have captured the pure misery of being drunksick so perfectly. I empathize with both of them so hard.

Lolli98

The best boyfriend award goes to Charlie Spring tonight! 🙂 You just feel that they are meant to be together.💖 So glad that he immediately accepts Nick's apology. S-word NOT banned this time!

CinD

Just the silent communication with the first two panels had me on a chokehold ☹️ “Sorry didn’t mean that” “That hurt but I’ll always be here for you” 💔

Oliver

Charlie still has this glow of light around him ❤️❤️❤️

Charlie

Always. They’ll always be there for each other. And thank you for letting Charlie accept the sorry. S-word totally required.

Valeria Rodriguez

The first frame 🥺. The point of view of the first and second frame 👌. But why does Charlie’s collar feel off?

Melanie

So proud of both of them 💞

Jmejimz

Omg I can’t handle their sad little faces, are you trying to kill me rn 🥺

Beam Bugge

nick really said 🫣🥺

Chloe ♡

nicks speech bubble being wobbly compared to charlie’s i can just hear nicks voice being shaky 💔

artxsta

oh sweet boys i will cry. nick peeking out the door like he’s a child again, which, in my mind, seems to represent him confronting these fears and insecurities born from a childhood where he felt he had to toughen up or people would leave (re: stephane saying he wouldn’t come back if nick continued to cry). or it’s entirely possible that patreon subscribers like myself are over-zealous readers who analyze every page to a nauseating, excessive degree. i never doubted charlie would rush to his aid bc he OFC would recognize the situation for what it was. attentive, understanding boy. alice you’ve created sweet sweet angels 😭😭😭😭

Katie🐝

Omg the relief this page just gave me!! they need each other 😭😭

Kiki

Thank goddess Charlie is still there and Nick opened the door and is going to let Charlie take care of him. ❤️‍🩹❤️🥰 These pages one a day or so are absolutely too much for my anxiety right now!! 😔Maybe I should go back to the regular updates every ten days…🌈

Allegra2346

Oh they needed that cuddle so bad 🥺 also surely we’ve earned charlie using a pet name at this point right? 👀 Maybe Alice will grace us with a “sweetheart”, or even a “darling” if they’re feeling generous 👀👀👀

Kirsten H

I’m so glad he opened the dooooor. They both need to take care of each other. 😭😭😭😭

Mark B

If I could hit Patreon's little heart symbol more than once I would! Five hearts to this page!

Elena

And Charlie's still there! 🥹🙏🏻❤️‍🩹

Juliana Barhorst

Oh Nicky’s little face peeking out from the door!! He’s opened up and what an adorable moment! My sweethearts!! 😍😍😍🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️

Raeee✨

Everyone panicked, but I always trusted you, Nick, and Charlie best. Thank you for this lovely page. This is who we know they are. 🥰

Eryn Gibbons

I knew Charlie was still there... 🥺 he wouldn't leave Nick alone like thattt

Allegra2346

Oh the second Nick apologised, Charlie was instantly crouching down to give him a cuddle for sure

Katha

The peek of miserable Nick we (and Charlie) get through that slightly opened door 🥹

eve

oh nick’s little face 😭

Ania W.

How did you manage to capture all of Nick's fragility in one drawing 😭

JRob

OMG, I agree! But there's no way I can give them up at this point

Nikki

Seeing Nick literally looking up to a male figure whilst feeling vulnerable and emotional and seeing that male figure *not* walk away/mock him, but be there for him and support him. Charlie Spring have a gold star for being the supportive boyfriend Nick needs right now ⭐️

Noemiette

[Let's pretend it's a surprise and we didnt see the sketch of the 2 first frames you posted on ig yesterday XD] Gosh I'm so relieved Charlie stayed ToT I know I said I would totally understand if he left and that I am generally a little angst goblin but this makes me happy ! Dont think they will have a discussion that night cause he is still drunk, tired mentally and physically and they both need a good night of sleep but this is a good first step. He opened the door, he let him in to see the mess he currently is. And on top of that, now, Charlie's alarms are all on so he wont let him brush it away again. Also, need to applaud the way you've been drawing the expressions in this entire sequence, cause they are fucking spot on ! We can feel their emotions through the screen T_T

Roks

Charlie melting my heart ♥️♥️♥️

toneelspeler

that's such a stellar first panel, dear lord. poor inner child in nick.

Astrid H.

♥️♥️♥️

Maddy

Nick's little peek out the door is everything 😭

Kela87

Awwwww 💙💛 this page feels like a hug. Thank you Alice, they needed it… WE needed it!

Cole Morin

Omg NICK 🥺 Alice if you are looking for any songs for season 4 (since we all have high hopes that it will happen!!) I recommend “Eliza Harrison Smith” - Bring You Down…..it’s soooo perfect for Nick!

Elena

This page is HEALING! 🥹❤️‍🩹🫂

Kiki

I know, I don’t think I can either. ❤️‍🩹 It’s just so hard rn with the state of the world. 😔 Heartstopper is one of my comfort things during a hard time. I know they will work it out eventually but it’s hard to get thru rn while things are so scary in the US😞

J

Nick needs a good old cuddle and his hair pet. That first panel is the face of a boy who knows he messed up but all the words in the world won't say that

Kela87

That is a good point! We have «Char», but we got nothing for Nick 🤔

Jitka Fouňová

What a relief! The worst is behind us for now. I'm really looking forward to the next pages.

enbykeith

I’m glad he stayed so he could see that Nick immediately regretted it 😭

Elisabeth Setzler

Oh thanks the gods... I was so worried. These two working it through together - they are what every relationship should be.

Elfi

This page just healed something in me!

UpstandingGoose

Even a golden retriever growls sometimes 🥺

Tom Birdienumnums

This was a good page. Loved nick’s peek. One odd thing I noticed though is that Charlie’s cup looks empty. ❤️

Katrina

I just let out the biggest sigh of relief

David C Witkin

Seeing the wounded child in Nick's face looking up at a caring and loving Charlie, and having Charlie looking down at a sick exhausted Nick with no anger but instead a loving concern, is so healing. We see Nick's fears being displayed but not thrust back in his face. He literally "lets Charlie in", and Charlie isn't repulsed. He charges forward, and helps Nick through it. Truly, they are not alone.

tofuPudding

I knew it...everything is gonna be ok...this feels like a HUG ❤️❤️❤️ happy Sunday peeps gonna support Nicks actor on his shows final run.

Zachery Taylor

Alice, absolutel perfection from their POV looking to each other, this page is pure Nick & Charlie magic 💙💛💙💛

Justin S.

Nick’s face… he’s really going through it but I am glad he opened the door and took some care from Charlie. 🥺🥹

Lolli98

Honestly, I couldn't be mad at anyone looking at me like Puppy Dog Nelson in the first panel.💔 You can see how much he regrets what he said and how much he needs Charlie!

M R

Just- ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 These boys make me feel so much

Elena

It's just incredible, how we can feel every emotion of them through these drawings! 🥹🥹 I am at a loss for words, of how amazed I am, always! 🥹❤️‍🩹

RCM

Yes, Nick! Yes, Charlie! It only takes a crack in the door, a small opening, one little "I'm hurting and I don't know what to do or what is about to happen, but I do know I need you" moment of vulnerability...and they lock eyes, and they both feel better, feel safer, feel more grounded (even as Nick's mind and stomach are literally spinning). And oh how I LOVE the immediate empathy and unconditional love and care Charlie gives Nick. Charlie drops to his knees, meeting Nick where is is (talk about how to endlessly love someone!)...Charlie's "It's okay, shhh" and reassurance that it doesn't have to be (and isn't going to be!) Nick's problem/issue to solve alone, but that it's THEIR issue to get through TOGETHER, "Let's stay here till you feel a bit better, 'kay?" breaks down to Let US...US. US...together, I'm here WITH you, FOR you, BESIDE YOU, because I LOVE YOU and even if it's not nice and it's smelly, I CHOOSE YOU and I'm staying because you matter that much to me...It's the complete antithesis of what Nick experienced with his dad (and what he has convinced himself he has to do, you know, all that isolating till everything is pushed down enough to function, to not feel or be bothersome). THIS is how you do LOVE. This is how you CARE for your person. This is how you SHOW Up...and be there. I also LOVE how we have the split rectangle perspective of each of them in the top panels...Nick is at the lowest (literally) we've seen him , and Charlie is holding a steadier and more solid place showing he can be (and is) strong for both of them. They are drawn as (separated) individuals, but you can see that they are MEANT to be together, to be one, because they are a perfect fit when you visualize their panels pushed together. It's a great example of how relationships are like see-saws....you strive for balance (cause omg what a cool, beautiful place that is), but when you really love your person as Nick and Charlie do, you selflessly pivot as needed to willingly go high when you partner is low, and vice versa...that is what Nick did for Charlie, and now, Charlie intuitively does for Nick ...nothing else matters at all RIGHT NOW, other than being there for Nick, bringing order to his chaos, calm to his soul, light to his dark. And so Charlie drops down, entering Nick's brokenness, sits on the bathroom floor, and holds Nick so tightly, and waits...for whatever awful comes next. They will brave it together. TOGETHER. We've seen both Nick and Charlie going through or NEEDING to go through their own individual mental health journeys over the past year or so. We've seen them learning that it is amazing and so fun and the best thing ever to be BOYFRIENDS, partners, a couple, best friends, BUT, we've also seen them discover that to be a healthy couple, you need to be the healthiest version of yourself, too. Charlie has definitely gone through this, facing a lot of his demons, learning and practicing good coping skills (and therapy!) to help him be his healthiest version of himself most days...Nick, well, not yet. But, I feel like tonight, part of that Band-aid he uses to attempt to cover up, to push down, to not think about his past, his mental health (even to himself) has been ripped off, and that is a very, very good thing, even if it will hurt more before it gets better. Hold him tightly, Charlie, (and don't mind me over here all misty- eyed...thinking about how Nick opened up a little and was immediately validated for his actions by a Charlie hug).

M R

To let oneself be held in care❤️‍🩹

.

absolutely love this page

Brandy78

Nick’s peek, awww I just want to hug them both 🫂

Sulagna Maitra

The symbolism & metaphor of Nick tentatively opening the door slightly and Charlie being right there, patiently waiting, is simply EPIC!! 🥲🥹❤️ (and please indulge me) Coming from a different generation, I love that this scene shows the two boys being authentic and vulnerable. They don't feel the need to mask their feelings with false bravado or any kind of machismo. To me, this is nothing short of a revolution in storytelling which will do this world a whole lot of good😊 ❤️

Claire

Those first two pictures are stunning. Nick's face peeping from behind the door (that tear) and the Charlie looking down at him. And this interaction right here = love.

Jordan

Oh the lovely and heartbreaking repeated perspective of an anxious Nick sitting down and feeling “low,” looking up nervously at his beloved Charlie in this volume, who is standing so tall and so strong, just like the little art piece in his room says to do 💜

ucfnurse

A pillow and a blanket would be a great idea☺️🫶🏻💞🫂😴😮‍💨✨💐🏡✌️🕊️☮️

Neenie

The perspective is incredible. It blew me away once I was done heaving a sigh of relief that Charlie was still there

Neenie

The page that will birth a hundred sick fics

Mara

Nick:((( He deserves the biggest hugs

hollie

i’m gonna SOB their little sad eyes ☹️

Sandra Day

Alice!!! What are you doing to us??!!! 😢

Beam Bugge

nick definitely represses his emotions a lot because he grew up around toxic masculinity (both from his family and from his rugby teammates), it's only now that alcohol is involved that he allows himself to be vulnerable :(

TT

I love this. Alice, you are brilliant! And I love Charlie so much!! 🥹❤️‍🩹

Isak

Oh I’m so glad Charlie is still there. It’s gonna be okay Nick 🫂

Beam Bugge

your comment reminded me of that moment where the cast went to pride and suddenly everyone started petting kit's hair like he was a dog or something lmao

Brittney

Aww Nick, my heart... it's truly breaking my heart over here, I know Nick will open up eventually but damn.. I just got to keep reminding myself we will have a happy ending send off but it's kind of hard when the dagger is back and punching through my heart once again

Harry

this is so sad but so cute. Nick probably must’ve felt so insecure in this moment but so helpless. As he is so used to being the bigger person and taking care of him, the person he has to put aside everything to be there for him. So, for him to see Charlie take care of him probably triggered that inner child. Wow.

Krystyn

The first panel broke my heart, just one eye tells how lost Nick feels 🥺

Joni

Their eyes… 🥺 But it needs to be said more, Charlie is a great boyfriend. So kind and patient. He and Nick are so wonderful together, even in tough times like this. I’m so relieved Charlie was still there when Nick opened the door, I was so afraid Charlie would be gone and just a glass of water would be sitting there.

Loveislove

Nick letting Charlie in is everything. Charlie waiting at that door generating his own light for Nick is everything. He doesn't know what the hell is going on but he knows there is no way in hell he is leaving. Charlie immediately undoes the physical distance between them and I think the emotional distance too. He crouches down, puts an arm around Nick to make them one unit and shows him they are in this together and Nick lets him. This is what love is - it is caretaking, reciprocal. It is not leaving and Nick sees that Charlie thinks he is worth it. Alice gives them the privacy of closing the door somewhat and being in their own world - I love that ❤️❤️‍🩹

moon

oh they are so bfs for each other AWEEEEEE i can’t

Theaterboi27

Can we all exhale now?? I feel like the Green Dragon tornado in my tummy may be settling. Oh, Charlie you are such an adorable mench. That lost but sweet expression. Still standing strong outside the door gripping that lifesaving water glass. At least poor shellshocked Nick was able to muster a squiggle line apology before a possible round two. Now, allow the love of your life to take care of you Nicholas. There is no weakness in allowing others who care for you to come to your aid. What is not to love about this page?

Eileen

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

JoJo 🫶🏻🔐🎨

So glad Nick opened the door to see Charlie still standing there xx Charlie looking so strong and confident ready to take on anything and help his loving boyfriend x 🫶🏻

Ariel

This page melted my heart🥺🥺💕🫂

Ana Alicia Aranda De Contreras

Charlie takes care of him with so much affection, love and understanding, I'm going to cry🥰🥺😭❤️

Lisa Klimkiewicz

I'm crying this is so cute!!!! But I'm also worried about Nick's mental health...

Reem

Maybe this is a silly question but what does the use of a video camera emoji mean? Alice posted it with the page. (I am an elder millennial - hope that comes to my defence with not knowing how many Gen Z use emojis this days ☺️)

Maisie

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Kate

Aww it’s a two person hug! It really does look like a camera though!!

Astrid H.

The detail of the scars on Charlie's arms, even though we know he has them, reminds us again and again how far he's come ♥️

Cliff

The last time Charlie asked a distressed Nick what he was feeling, Nick said that he didn’t know what his feelings were. He still may not be able to put his distress into words at this point. It’s not “oh, Nick just got drunk” as someone said. It’s not the end of the world, either, though, as long as he gets to talk to a professional who can help him verbalize the source of his suffering. For some, being in the last year of school and having to face serious life changes head on for the first time can be terrifying. It was that way for me. I didn’t get drunk, though. I withdrew from the world, and not for the first time. I certainly didn’t have a boyfriend to turn to!

Murgy

Oh Nick, so worried that Charlie wouldn't be there or would be angry with him, but he is just there, concerned and wanting to help. Nick looks so small when he opens the door, an unusual experience for Nick to be looking up at people, but Charlie comes down to his level straight away, likely making him feel not as bad as he did as it reminds him Charlie isn't judging him, even if he feels like he should be. Charlie was ready to be there for Nick, despite Nick's lashing out. Hopefully this helps Nick open up soon, as there are things that need to be said. At least they're not going to be said through a door this time. Hopefully.

Jordan

Wow I didn’t even notice them til you pointed that out! Such a beautiful detail

Lainey

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Ashley Robinson

It’s time Nick to let yourself be supported.

Robert

Well done Charlie. You are still there to support Nick even when he tried to send you away.

Brent Henderson

Aww. That look on Nick’s face as he peeks out the door.

Reem

It is so small haha on my phone. I had to really concentrate on the emoji and I can see two people 🫂 now. Thanks everyone. I'm so embarrassed haha. Appreciate you agreeing with me that it kinda looks like a camera 🥰🤦🏽‍♀️.

Realiti

oh poor Nick🥺🥺🥺 Charlie I hope you can get him through this 🥺🥺

rickettyuncles

I wish someone would come up with a better hug emoji frankly—I don’t like either of these 🫂🤗 But O’s don’t work that well on their own OOO 😂

Kassie K Wilson

Love how even we don’t get to go inside the bathroom in this moment, this is just for them 🥺🥺🥺

Shanie_MC

I'm glad Nick's outburst didn't last for long and that Charlie stayed. It's still very worrying how closed off Nick feels, but to others, but worse, to himself.

Marina

Loving the angle of the first panels. Well drawn, Alice

Marina

Sad and regret Nick's peek when he unlocks the door makes me feel bad for him haha poor boy.
