Summary
When Charlie moves next door to Nick at age 8, the two boys bond right away and become inseparable. They grow up and navigate adolescence side by side, including first girlfriends... They unknowingly help each other discover some big things about themselves, but when Nick has to move away before they have the chance to open up about these new feelings to one another, neither sees the point in saying anything that could make things weird during their last days together, so they don't.
Years later, they're reunited at university...

Summary
After another disappointing relationship fizzles out before it starts, Charlie Spring finds himself wanting to reconnect with one of his former best friends (and on again off again crush), Nick Nelson. But how do you get back in touch with a person who drunkenly confessed his feelings to you, whose heart you broke in the process, and who you haven't spoken to in years?
___Or, the one where guidance counselor Charlie finally realizes hot carpenter Nick has loved him for years, and has to convince him to give him one more chance before it's too late.
___
This fic has inspired a sister story, told from Nick's POV: Remember Me.
If you enjoy this one, join me over there! It's not a straight re-telling; it's a standalone story that focuses on Nick's perspective and fills in some of the gaps from this one.Thanks to AO3 user KariCl569 for pointing me toward the song "The Promise" by Tracy Chapman. It's beautiful and so fitting.

Summary
Charlie Spring unexpectedly finds himself living back in his family home in his late 20s wondering where his life is going to go next when a dodgy music cable and an errant fox conspire to send him on a collision course with the new head of French at Truham.
Nick Nelson, is single yet again approaching 30 when he finds an opportunity to return to the town of his early childhood. He's desperate to finally find that connection he's been seeking and thinks maybe he might just have located it in a pair of twinkling blue eyes. But will be demoted to the friend zone once more?
This is a slow burn due to missed opportunities and misunderstandings and there's a lesson for Nick that sometimes it's worth more closely following Darcy's advice.
"He squeezed the wheel and looked in his rear view mirror. What he saw there made his heart skip a beat. A tall, somewhat ruddy faced man with shining auburn hair, large arms and a broad chest was climbing out of the small vehicle. He ran his fingers through his hair, as if this was some sort of bloody shampoo commercial, and then gripped lightly at the back of his neck before starting walking towards Charlie’s car."
