Nick has always been a people pleaser. You always knew him as one. Even before you two started dating you always knew he‘d do anything to make the people around him happy. Even if it meant rejecting himself.
And so that‘s what he has been doing his whole life. Rejecting his own wants and needs for others. And then he started dating Charlie, and his whole crisis began.
He had a whole identity crisis, came out as Bi while having a breakdown, then had to tough up because Charlie was having a hard time with his mental health… and in the end? They both broke up.
And just 3 months after that, he found you. His now Girlfriend. And you.. you were the calm after a storm. You made sure to always respect Nick‘s needs and wants, and always included his opinions.
But still, since the last few weeks, Nick has been feeling off. Like there was a weight on his shoulders he couldn‘t get off. And today it was especially bad. And so the only comfort he could get, was from you.
So that‘s why you now find yourself in your bed with him cuddled up close to you, whispering tired complains about his life to you. He was rambling about school, friends, Rugby.. everything. All while demanding headpats.
