Summary
Charlie’s heart thunders and it takes everything in him not to flee with her. Echoes of ‘she’s not ready’ cascade through Charlie’s mind and he’s about to make a snap decision when a new voice, deep and soft and sweet, floats through his ears.
“Hey, little one, what’s this all about, hm?”
Charlie turns his head to see a tall, handsome man with floppy blonde hair and big dark eyes, cooing over Astrid. Astrid stops whimpering and looks at him too, curiously. The man smiles and reaches out to take her.
“Come on, sweet-pea, let’s go see some of these lovely toys so Daddy can go.”
He swiftly takes her from Charlie and she screams and Charlie’s frozen. He stares between the new man and Imogen, unsure on what to do with himself. But Imogen takes the bag from him and nods to the door, silently telling him to leave with a reassuring gleam in her eyes.
So, with Astrid’s screams still in his ears, Charlie bolts

Summary
“What Sahar means is, he looked like he’d descended from the homoerotic heavens,” Imogen said, for Charlie’s gay benefit.
“Yeah, whatever. But basically, the photo became a meme on campus. Someone dubbed that one guy Fit Nick, and it kind of caught on.”
“Can I see the photo?” Charlie asked.
Imogen grinned, already scrolling through her saved screenshots. “I knew you’d say that. Here.”
Charlie grabbed the phone and zoomed in. “Holy sh—”
Yeah. So that was the start of Charlie’s all-consuming, all-too-embarrassing crush on Nick Nelson.

“Darc,” he said glaring at her. “It’s not funny.”
“No it’s funny,” Elle said grinning. “You get all flustered and it’s just fun to see you being a hot mess for once.”
Nick glared at them. “Jokes on you, I’m a bisexual disaster all the time.”
“You know Charlie only has eyes for you, yeah?” Tara asked him. “You don’t need to worry.”
“I’m not worried,” Nick insisted. “Everyone gets jealous, everyone’s allowed a bit of jealousy,” he said, remembering what Charlie had said to him.

Summary
There’s nothing like being shoved into a wardrobe to make you want to speed up time until the experience is over. The dark is making him more conscious of the radiating warmth of the body next to his own; now not quite pressed up against him, but so close everywhere that he can feel the heat of almost-touch along his thighs, his chest, all along the side of his arm. He twitches back, too quickly, with nowhere to go. He topples in place while trying to hold still and hip bumps hip; shoulder brushes shoulder. He steadies, outwardly, while inwardly he continues his freefall.
...oh no wer're trapped in a closet

My (25M) coworker (26M) keeps flirting with me. Do you think he likes me? by kingdomfaraway

Summary
Charlie had a very strict rule about having crushes on coworkers.
Which was, he just didn’t.
There was nothing worse than longing over someone, looking like a complete idiot in front of other coworkers, and becoming someone who was gossiped about.
That was his least favorite thing, being the center of attention for any reason, so he just didn’t do anything to give anyone a reason to do it.
And of course, if he did hook up with a coworker, when it inevitably ended, they’d have to still work together and that would be messy and annoying and yeah, Charlie was better off leaving any aspect of his love life out of his well maintained and coveted work life.
He was totally and completely fine with the way things were. He didn’t need romance, in or outside of work.
Then he had to go and meet Nick Nelson.
