Summary
In the quiet chaos that follows the win—applause, ambition, loss— Jannik is stripped bare by something far more lasting than victory: the softness of being wanted, the ache of being seen, and Carlos' hands, steady through it all.

You should go, they're waiting for you."
“I don't care, I want to stay with you.”
He kisses him. Slowly. As if he needs to feel it to believe it.
Carlos smiles against his skin.“My boyfriend won Wimbledon. How could I be sad?”
His hands still hold him back. Just a little.

Summary
One particular comment had caught his attention.
@ballista : three sure things in life: death, taxes and Sinner absolutely crushing Carlos in his articles lol!!!!!!
Carlos’ curiosity had taken over, and he had found the article again, just to check the author.
Jannik Sinner.
So that was the stranger’s name, then.
His thumb had flown over the name, before clicking on it.
According to his profile, Jannik wasn’t only a tennis journalist. He had many contributions for the Formula 1 section, and also a few for the downhill skiing one. Most articles he had written, though, were about tennis, seemingly regularly for a few years. Carlos had taken a quick look over them, and had realized a few of those articles were about him- or, at least, talking about him. He had clicked on one of them, reading it quickly, before realizing they had been written with the same tone: always laudatory of his opponents, always harsh on him.
OR. Carlos meets a red-haired stranger in an elevator. Little does he know it's going to change his life forever.

Summary
Alvaro huffs a laugh “long night with your boyfriend?” there is a vague ripple of teasing laughter, Jannik’s face heats up and he ducks his head. Something inside Carlos snaps.
“He’s not my boyfriend.” Carlos says abruptly. “We aren’t- We are not together.” His words come out sharper, it releases a tension he has been carrying since he sat down.
Carlos clears his throat, fixes his gaze at the table. He expected some teasing, for Alvaro to punch his shoulder saying they seem like they are together, or for Juanki to scoff and say that they were very much together when he found them this morning.
None of that happens, instead, a tension thickens, an audible crunch as someone swallows their toast. He dares a glance up at the table and he can immediately see why. Jannik has frozen, his knife and fork still perched half way into cutting his omelet. He is staring at Carlos, his mouth half open - he is staring at Carlos with wide eyes, shock written across his face.
(Or: Jannik and Carlos have very different ideas of what kind of relationship they are in, Carlos has to fix it.)
