Make drinks. Get drunk. Talk. Argue. Laugh. Maybe we're kind of boring. But that's fine with us."Everyone knows that Nick and Charlie are the perfect couple - that they're inseparable.

Everyone's asking if they're staying together, which is a stupid question - they're 'Nick and Charlie' for God's sake!But as the time to say goodbye gets inevitably closer, both Nick and Charlie question whether their love is strong enough to survive being apart. Or are they delaying the inevitable? Because everyone knows that first loves rarely last forever....
