    Summary

    “Look at this one - Furnished flat to rent in Victorian conversion. 2 beds 1 bath. Quiet street in Vauxhall. Available immediately. Oh wow, the rent’s really reasonable too. I wonder what the catch is?”

    “There's the catch.” Nick leaned across the table and stabbed at the paper with his index finger. He’d read that listing on the tube earlier. “Professional couples only.”

    “For fucks sake, why?!” Charlie groaned loudly, slumping back onto the cafe table in despair. “Why does this keep happening to me?!”

    “Hey now, it can’t be that bad? Don't you have any homeless friends you can pretend to be in a couple with? I'm sure someone would…. What? Why are you looking at me like that?”

    *****

    Fed up of house hunting, passing acquaintances Nick and Charlie pretend to be a couple in order to rent a flat. What could possibly go wrong?!

    Summary

    Suddenly his face appears out of the darkness, illuminated by the light of his phone. His hair is sticking up wildly and his eyes are barely open as he squints at his lock screen. “It’s half three.”

    “Shit. Sorry. Just go back to sleep.”

    Nick tilts the phone away from his face to cast more light into the room, catching Charlie trying to tiptoe towards the door. “Where are you going?”

    Charlie stops again. “Home?”

    “What? Don’t be silly. Just stay.”

    —————

    Or, Nick and Charlie are good mates, pals, bros in their twenties when Charlie accidentally stumbles upon an unexpected cure for his insomnia.
