The Pillowfort - adidasshoebox - Heartstopper (Webcomic) [Archive of Our Own] (2024)

The pillowfort, told from Nick’s perspective:

Jane, Charlie’s mum, came into the front room while Oliver, Charlie and I were sitting in the fort we’d just made. Every pillow and cushion in the house was surrounding us, it was really impressive. The array of colours the blankets provided covering any hole in between the cushions was beautiful, the thing was practically soundproof. Me and Charlie did most of the work obviously but were very proud of ourselves. Jane told Oliver that his play date was soon and they had to go. As we heard the front door close I turned to Charlie and asked “Shall we take this down now?” since Oliver wasn’t there anymore. I figured I should help put everything back as I kind of assisted in tearing the house apart. Charlie replied,
“Um not just yet, it’s cosy in here” then curled up against me as I scrolled on my phone. He’s so cute when he does that, the way he adjusts himself under my arm and rests his head on my chest. I could see how comfortable he is around me and I smiled. I remembered how long it took for him to feel like this, he was distant at first as he was anxious he’d make me uncomfortable. He didn’t want to push me and I’m so grateful for him. He is the most caring person that I know.
I remembered our first time, he was more scared for me. To him he wasn’t losing his virginity, he was about to have sex with his boyfriend who had been assumed straight by everyone for years, and that guy was about to lose his virginity to a boy.

I looked down at Char and he looked back up at me. He wrapped his legs around mine while he still rested his head on my chest. He kissed me on the neck delicately then again slightly more affectionately. It felt nice, but then I felt an almost bite at my neck. I looked down at him slightly smiling but confused. He looked up at me mischievously and continued to kiss me from my neck until his mouth met mine and I realised he was sitting on my lap. Kissing turned into making out and then I started to feel him grind on me. His breathing got heavier, moaning into my mouth and I could tell he wanted more. We hadn’t done it in a while so I understood but, we were in the living room. The fort around us wasn’t the biggest so one wrong move and the whole thing could come collapsing down on us plus his mum was going to be home soon. But, there was also a thrill to the risk.

I unbuttoned his jeans and he hid his face on my shoulder embarrassed of how much he wanted it. I asked “are you okay?” before going any further and he nodded, unable to verbally respond as he guided my hands, helping me take them off. My hand reached down and I could feel he was hard. He continued to grind, now against my hand and we carried on making out. I then began to pull down my joggers and slowly laid Charlie down with his mouth still on mine. In hindsight I realise how desperate I must have looked as I was naked from the stomach down within seconds. Char stared at me with his mouth slightly open, looking irresistible. Suddenly he sat up, bent down and opened his mouth wider. He’d only ever given me a couple of blowj*bs so I asked “are you sure love?” making sure he didn’t feel like he had to. Acting as if it was rhetorical he started to tease my co*ck, carefully licking and looking up at me for validation with his sweet innocent eyes. I nodded at him trying not to get lost in the sensation. He gradually started to suck me off. I grabbed the back of his hair in my fist and pushed his head closer towards me. Before I could cum I pulled his head off of me and forced his eyes to meet mine. I placed my thumb in his mouth and asked him to tell me what he wanted. He sucked on my thumb, which was so hot, and then pointed at me.
“I told you to tell me what you want. You’re not going to get anything if you don’t use your words.”
“You. please.” Charlie managed to get out.
“Good boy”.
I quickly went to my bag just outside the fort, grabbed the lube and condoms I keep in there, just in case, and swiftly returned. We never know when we’re gonna f*ck so I always keep them in there and I love that Char always knows I’m prepared. He was laying on his front ready for me and I made my way behind him. I put the condom on and poured the lube over my boyfriend. My gorgeous boyfriend. I took my fingers and made sure he was loose enough. He flinched and so I bent down and kissed him on the back of his neck and then his cheek. I picked him up by his hips and pulled him close to me. His head rested on one of the pillows, closing his eyes, his face bright red. And then I slowly and gently started to f*ck him. Getting faster and faster. Nothing was said between us, the only communication being through our moans, incoherent mumbling and uttering of swear words.
“f*ck”. I could feel myself getting close and I started to speed up even more. Charlie got louder as I got faster. One of my hands was on his waist, the other on his hip. And that was when we heard the door begin to open. I may have been exaggerating when I said the fort was practically soundproof because I bet the neighbours could hear us. The front door was far down in the hallway and we knew it was Charlie’s mum, we just had to be quiet. I pull my shirt off and over my head then say “Put this in your mouth and be quiet okay?”.

Charlie nodded and I shoved my shirt in his mouth while I sped up. I could see him biting down on the fabric and getting it all wet. He looked so hot with something in his mouth as he tried to be quiet. I didn’t know how loud such a small person could be. Biting my lip, I tried not to moan either. I grabbed his co*ck and began to jerk him off to make sure we came together. Finally we both finish and then hear “Boys! I’m home!”. Quickly I grab my shirt out of his mouth and put it on. We both rushed to put our trousers back on. I took off the used condom, grabbed the lube, and placed them in a plastic bag that was loose in my backpack. I kissed Charlie quickly, he was tired but also had panicked eyes as he realised his mum was round the corner. He reluctantly got up but bumped his head on the roof of our fort and all of the pillows and blankets came toppling on us. We looked at each other and laughed and then Jane walked in the room. She announced, “Boys, do you mind cleaning this up? I’d like to sit on my own sofa in my own home please.”
“Right, yeah sorry mum” Charlie Responded.
“Nick, what's that big wet stain on your t-shirt?” Jane asked. I looked down and realised a dark patch on my grey top covering a large amount of my stomach from Charlie’s spit.
“Oh, I spilled a drink on myself. It’ll dry though”
“Oh okay”.
We put all of the pillows back and when we finished we made our way up to Charlie’s room and just laid there in a state of stress and relief. We looked at each other and began laughing again. I asked him “Are you okay? We didn’t really have time for aftercare.”
“Yeah, I just want to lay on your chest”
“You did that earlier and look where that got us!” I responded jokingly. Charlie punched me weakly in the arm and planted himself in my arms once again. I wrapped my arms around his body and enjoyed the final moments of his presence as I’d have to leave soon. That was when we decided we would never be doing that again.

As I was leaving I walked into the living room where our se- pillow fort once stood and said goodbye to Charlie’s mum.
“Thanks for having me over, see you soon.”
“Goodbye Nick”
When I turned to leave, I heard “Oh also, one quick thing”
“Yeah?”
“Can you please keep anything sexual in the bedroom”
