“Carlos, these are… some of my friends from New York,” he says, trying to sound assuring as he stumbles over finding the words for what to call these people. His cheeks turn hot and flush.
“Wow, okay,” Carlos says, blinking at him for a moment and then looking back at everyone. “What brings you to Austin?”
“Well, I’m glad you managed to get a spot in this place because that’s a story I’m gonna need another drink for.”

Summary
“Grace and Judd brought the flowers. I think the cookie card came from Mateo, Marjan, and Paul. The whale one was from Nancy and Tim. And I think Michelle sent that pink one in the back there.”
“Wow,” TK exhales. They’ve come back to visit now that he’s awake, but all of this was here before then and his dad told him about how everyone camped out in the waiting room until the hospital staff all but forced them to go home. He guesses the excess downtime while they waited warranted a few trips to the hospital gift shop. TK also knows that Carlos was here that night, and casually, he asks, “What about that hedgehog?”
Or, there’s an unclaimed gift sitting at TK’s bedside when he wakes up from his coma. That stuffed hedgehog becomes an integral part of his and Carlos’ story.

“We can’t tonight, we have to go home and bathe our lizard,” TK says.

TK pokes him in the side and he tries to bite down his grin, but he fails miserably. “It’s our wedding night, if you don’t stop talking about paperwork, I’ll divorce you.”
“That’d be another form to fill,” Carlos points out, casually, his eyes closed and an easy smile on his face, as if the state of their marriage would really depend on whether TK can bother to file for a divorce

“That little fear makes me think, sometimes, that maybe you’ll realise that you’ve other options than me,” Carlos continues. He bumps his toes against his calf gently.
“I know I’ve options,” TK says, and Carlos eyes flash back up at him. “But even if I had met every man in Texas, I’d still choose you. The fact that you were the first doesn’t change anything.”

“Which one’s yours?”
It takes Carlos a second to realize the question was directed at him. He looks to the side, finding the red-headed woman who made eye-contact with Carlos moments ago. “Huh?”
She nods at the field. “Which player are you here for?”
Carlos rubs his hands on his pants before he settles again, glancing in TK’s direction. “Oh. Uh, number two. TK. My husband.”
Or, three times Carlos was TK’s softball team’s favorite fan + one time he wasn’t
