A/n: extremely astronomically rushed

"Harry, get the fuck away from him!" Nick exclaimed, throwing down his backpack before attempting to tackle the other boy. Harry barely dodged him, before pushing Nick by his chest right into Charlie. Together, they tumbled into the janitor's closet. The door was slammed behind them, followed by maniacal laughter.

Nick stood up quickly, banging on the now-locked door, "you're crazy! Harry! Harry, let us out! Ugh!"

"Not a chance!" Harry sung in that annoying little voice of his, before they heard his footsteps running away, "have fun in there!"

Nick ran a stressed hand through his hair, groaning loudly as he banged his fist against the door. God damn it. School had ended nearly thirty minutes ago, there was probably nobody in the hall to get them out. Plus, the door had been locked from the outside. This was a sick prank to pull. Sure, they could survive a night in the janitor's closet, but it was going to suck. Not only that, Nick was 90% sure Charlie hadn't eaten anything in a long time.

Speaking of—Charlie hadn't gotten up off of the floor yet. Nick turned his head and saw that his boyfriend was shaking, "Charlie...are you okay? Did he hurt you?" He knelt down next to him and put a hand on either side of his face, checking him over.

"I'm fine" Charlie said quickly, "just going to be a bit bruised, maybe? It's okay, i've been through way worse bullying than that."

Nick frowned, "I wish you'd tell me about it."

Charlie shook his head, "I...wish I could tell you about it" he wrapped his arms around his knees and rested his chin on his forearm, "It's just scary."

"I know. But i'm here, if you ever need to vent about it" Nick told him, just like he told him every time the subject was brought up.

"Thank you" Charlie said, before standing up. The janitor's closet wasn't exactly spacious, but it wasn't so cramped that they were pressed up against each other. They had leg room if they decided they wanted to sit, at least.

"All this just because I had to pick up some pre course work" Nick scoffed.

Charlie laughed, "yeah, it's all your fault. I can't believe you" he joked.

Nick laughed as well; before he snapped his fingers, "Oh!" He exclaimed, snapping his fingers, "i'm so dumb, I was fully prepared to just stay the night here, why don't we text someone?"

"Oh, right" Charlie chuckled, "I was prepared to just sit here and have a panic attack or something. I'll text Tao, i'm pretty sure the only thing he does in his free time is pine over Elle." He sent a message, and it wasn't long before he got a reply. Charlie rolled his eyes at the pop up, "he told me he'll come as soon as he catches his breath from laughing at us."

"Pfft. Classic Tao" Nick said, before dropping to the floor, "may as well get comfortable. Hopefully the school doors haven't been locked yet."

Charlie's phone began to ring, and when he picked up, he could hear Tao, "How ddi you even get stuck in there anyways? Were you two making out or something?"

"No!" Charlie exclaimed, "Harry started picking on me, and he locked us in here."

Tao's voice grew darker, "Oh my god. I'm going to beat is ass."

—————————————————————————

  Charlie needed to use the restroom long before Harry had begun to pick on him in the hallway. He was actually planning to go while Nick got his course work, but Harry had stopped him and started shoving him around. Then Nick came in to be the hero, and got humiliatingly humbled. It would have been funny, if his bladder hadn't been aching so badly. And his ribs, for that matter. Harry had kicked him pretty harshly.

He sighed deeply, taking in a large breath before he released it, shuddering.

Nick seemed to be concerned for him, "Charlie, are you alright? You've been rather quiet. Did he shake you up that badly?" He questioned, kneeling down next to him.

"No, no, i'm used to that asshole by now, I just—it was really bad timing. I was on my way to pee, I haven't gone in a while" he cringed as he admitted it, but there was no use in keeping it a secret. It's not like his squirming was subtle anyways.

"Oh" Nick said awkwardly, unsure what he was supposed to do with that information, "can you...hold it?"

Charlie took a moment before he responded, "Ye-Yeah! Of course" he piped up defensively.

The fact that Charlie hadn't immediately cried back 'yes' seriously worried Nick. He must have really needed to go.

"Oh. So, that's why you've been so silent, damn. I'm sorry, babe, you've got this until Tao gets here to unlock the door. We'll be out of here very soon" Nick assured. Charlie wasn't sure if he could wait that long, but he nodded anyways and tried to take his mind off of the fact that his bladder was screaming at him.

Charlie wasn't so sure that he had this one in the bag. The day's events did not really line up that way for him. Actually, he was convinced that here was no God and if there was, the guy hated his guts. He had to rush out of the house this morning since he woke up late. He barely finished peeing and brushing his teeth before he was rushing out of the bathroom, chugging a coffee that Tori had silently handed to him as he rushed down the stairs.

Then, he had a test in his first class, of course. He couldn't focus because of how drowsy he felt, and by second period his bladder was starting to act up, but the teacher was pissed for no reason and decided to be strict in the bathroom policy. From that point on, Charlie was denied the bathroom by every teacher. And now, here he was, sitting on the floor, locked in a janitor's closet and needing to go very badly.

"You know, you could pee in my water bottle. If you needed to" Nick told him.

Charlie's head shot up, "what?! No way!" The thought of peeing in front of Nick was humiliating. But the thought of wetting his pants was worse, "actually..well.." he blushed, "I don't know! I can hold it, i'll be fine."

Nick rolled his eyes at Charlie's stubbornness, "it's empty. I'll leave it out in case you change your mind."

It was a plastic water bottle, so charlie didn't have to worry about ruining an actual reusable one. But it was still gross! And he knew Nick wouldn't view him as pathetic over this, or weak for not being able to hold his bladder. Nick never thought of him as less or wrong for anything else about him. So he guessed it was fine, since he'd offered anyway.

  "Okay. I've changed my mind" Charlie blurted as he felt a leak escape his underwear.

"Well, that was fast" Nick laughed, go ahead, i'll even turn around."

"Thank you" Charlie breathed a sigh of relief as Nick turned, and grabbed the bottle. He popped the cap off, before getting on his knees, unzipping his jeans and aiming towards the bottle. There were a few casualties as he struggled to aim, droplets spilling down the side of the bottle. But he was able to gain control and steady his shaking hands. For Nick, it was only a matter of seconds before a loud, quick stream began to hit the plastic, but to Charlie, it felt like forever. He was so close to relief that his bladder was not going to take being neglected any longer.

He let out a quiet sigh as he expelled the liquid from his bladder. The dark color was quite worrying, but all he had to drink that day was a coffee, so he couldn't be too surprised when he hadn't been properly caring for himself. It didn't take long before his bladder was empty, thankfully. He had initially been worried that the bottle wouldn't hold it, but his stream tampered off right before he got to the top.

"Okay" Charlie said, "I can officially take pissing in a janitor's closet off of my bucket list."

Nick snorted as he turned around, Charlie finishing up zipping his jeans and capping the bottle, "Wow! All that came out of you?!"

"Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up, Nick" Charlie pouted, trying to hide his smile, "I can't wait to tell Tao about this, i'll be bullied for a whole week straight."
