Jay noted to himself that he and Carlos hadn't spoken in six days. Carlos avoided him at tourney, then right afterwards he would spend all hours of the night at the library, at least until he knew Jay was sleeping. On numerous occasions during the agonizing six days, Jay has tried talking to him. Needless to say he felt horrible on what happened during their first date. He meant none of what he said to just slip out like that. He just didn't have a filter in his mind and by the time he realized what had happened, everything was already screwed up.
Jay sighed to himself as he cleaned up the room that Friday after school. He couldn't stand not speaking with Carlos, and the room was a definite pigsty. He showered up afterwards and by that time it was nearly 5pm. He had nothing to do, except homework. "Why not..." He muttered to himself as he pulled out his chemistry books, getting to work on that until dinner. Dinner went by painstakingly slow, and he knew it would definitely be long hours until Carlos showed back up to the dorm.
When Carlos did get back to the dorm, it was already 12:30am. And he was shocked to see Jay was still awake, usually he would be snoring already. He stifled a yawn himself and tried to ignore Jay's pleads to hear him out, he wouldn't let himself give in so hastily. His heart was shattered into an abundance of pieces, even though he didn't think Jay did so intentionally, after talking about it with Evie a lot.
"Carlos, please. Can we just talk about this?" Jay stood from his bed, heading to where the black and white haired boy stood with his arms folded. "I know you're upset with me, but at least listen to what I have to say."
Carlos took a moment to clear his mind and think, instead of lashing out on him, or just ignoring the lame attempt to make peace (well in his eyes it was a weak try). He puffed his cheeks out, plopping in a chair at his desk, "okay, fine."
Jay gulped to himself, not expecting that as an answer. He pulled over his chair so he could sit and talk to Carlos comfortably. "First things first, I want you to know that I am really sorry. I didn't mean to lash out on you like that." After a deep breath, he proceeded. "During the six, very painful days that you have ignored me, I have had time to think about everything you said. And you're completely right. I shouldn't care about what other people think about us because I am the happiest when I'm with you. Sure, some people will accept us and others won't, but I know we'll still have Mal and Evie. That's all that matters to me, is having people that accept us for who we are. Without judgement. The best part is our parents aren't here to do that either. Truthfully, I was scared of getting myself into something real. Not just a fling. And, I really want to give this a shot with you. Just give me another chance, C. Please?"
Carlos stared at him straight in the eyes the entire time, in which Jay had no problem with. His heart raced with every word and he found himself believing everything that Jay said. Slowly, he reached forward and took his bigger hand in his smaller one, his bottom lip being harshly nibbled on by his top teeth. Another minute or so passed before he answered, "I'll give you another chance. Don't screw it up this time." A smile crossed his lips as Jay leaned forward and their lips met for the second time.
It was complete bliss, no one to interrupt their passion for each other. Jay had pulled Carlos closer to him, which amounted to Carlos shifting into his lap. He felt a bit bold, causing him to deepen the kiss, which was gratefully accepted by Jay. Their tongues collided in a furious battle of domination, a few moans coming from the two teenagers. But it ended when both males needed a breath from the kiss.
"I won't screw anything up this time. Promise." Jay whispered to Carlos who was nuzzling into his neck.
"I know you won't. You're too smart for that." Carlos murmured back, causing Jay to shiver from his hot breath upon the sensitive skin on his neck.
Jay played with the ends of Carlos' hair with one hand, keeping one of his arms around his waist tightly, "I'll take you on a date. Hopefully it'll make up for how much of a jerk I was to you."
A smile played against Carlos' lips, "if it includes chocolate, then it will." He joked, peppering small kisses along his neck.
"Mm," he hummed in response to the kisses and nodded, "oh, it will." He thought of how cute Carlos was whenever he ate chocolate, it got all over his mouth and would stay there unless someone held him down to wipe it off with a napkin.
"Then it'll definitely make up for you being a giant douche bag." Carlos said, and Jay didn't argue with the insult since he knew it was true.
