Written - 03/21/19
“God dammit Carlos! I’m in love with you, that’s why!” Jay shouted at the younger boy. Carlos stood in shock, their argument forgotten at this moment. “I saved you because I wanted to, I saved you because I don’t wanna see ya hurt, I saved you because I love you.” Jay was up now, using the table next the the bed for support. Carlos has brought Jay back to the treehouse after he had been stabbed by one of Uma’s crew. Carlos has been trying to steal back a couple of wires for his new project and things turned sour. Jay had gotten involved somehow and just as Carlos was about to be stabbed, he was pushed out of the way and Jay took the hit. Once back at the treehouse with little complaining from either boy, the son of Cruella De Vil finally spoke.
“What the fuck Jay? You could of gotten seriously hurt!” Carlos was livid, how dare Jay be so stupid? He could have been seriously seriously hurt. Not to mention if it had been so serious that he couldn’t supply for the Junk Shop his father, the ex Grand Vizier himself, would of killed his son if possible. Thank god for the asshole who decided to keep everyone under the dome alive.”Sorry for trying to protect you Carlos, how about next time I’ll let you get stabbed!” The back and forth yelling went on for a while, neither boy really listening to the other. Carlos had turned away, tears threatening to fall. Growing up on the Isle, all the descendants had learned that feelings are a weakness. The freckled boy had long since learned crying would just bring more issues, more beatings, more pain. His shoulders shook as his tears finally fell and the quiet sobs overtook him. “Carlos?......” Jay froze, having only seen Carlos cry once. “Why Jay?....Why me, I’m pathetic and worthless, why me? “God Dammit Carlos! I’m in love with you, that’s why!”
“Jay…..lie down.” Carlos was quiet and Jay almost didn’t hear him. “Lie down!? I just fucking told you I love you! And you tell me to lie down!?” Jay shook with anger, masking the fear he had just been rejected. “Jay, just lie down.” Carlos looked at him before looking out the window. Jay did as he was told and looked at Carlos. “Pup-“ “Shut up Jay, I’m processing that fact that the guy I’ve been in love with for years loves me back.” Jay smiled “Come here pup, I’m in pain, you’re crying, it’s raining so hard we can’t go anywhere. Let’s take a nap, then we can discuss logistics when we get up.” Carlos took a pause before giving in and lies next to jay and snuggled up. “When did you get so wise?” “I do listen sometimes ya know?” Both boys chatted before falling into a peaceful sleep.
