WAIT! Take two seconds and notice the image I uploaded for this story.
Thanks :D
Now to the good stuff.
A/N: This chapter wasn't suppose to be posted this soon. This chapter wasn't even suppose to exist but I felt like I've been holding out on you guys. I also felt like I've been leaving you guys with not enough Carlos. So this chapter is more Carlos then Kendall but it does have some good stuff in it. So I wouldn't consider it a filler chapter...Well I hope you guys like it. ENJOY! :D
Carlos woke up with a smile on his face. He had been looking forward to this day more than anyone else. This week, if planned right, was going to be the best week he's ever had. Today was Monday and he was going to be with Kendall by Saturday. He just hoped that his plan worked. This had to be the biggest thing he had to do. Seriously, there should be someone here to record this and put it in a world record book or something.
"Are you alright, Carlos?" His mother asked, taking him out of his deep thought. He nodded before finishing up his breakfast.
"You sure, son." Mr. Garcia asked, eyeing his son for anything different.
"I'm fine. I'm just happy."
"You seem more happy than usual." His mother noted.
"Yeah, is there a lucky lady your interested in?" Carlos father asked him.
"Or lucky guy?" His mother added.
"You guys will find out soon enough." Carlos said, letting a sly smile come to his face before he headed off to school.
Both of his parents were surprised. Not in the fact that he was bi. That bridge has already been crossed and his parents still love him for who he is. They were surprised that Carlos was actually hinting a relationship. Carlos isn't very open about anyone he goes out with. If you see him with someone, you wouldn't know they go together because of the simple fact that Carlos didn't do any type of PDA.
No holding hand.
No kissing.
Maybe a hug goodbye, if the person is lucky.
He does things like that when he's not in public but even then they have to be alone which is one of the reasons why he's alone now. But he's been trying to break that and do more with the person he's with. At least a little bit of hand holding.
Once Carlos arrived at school he went through the whole process of saying hi to almost everyone. There was no surprise that he was popular. People would kill to be where he is. To be honest, as of right now, Carlos wouldn't mind giving it up. But he wasn't going to give it to anyone. He had to find the right person that wouldn't turn into a huge bully.
People seem to take High school popularity lightly but it's actually a big deal. He couldn't just hand it to the next willing person. They had to earn it by being nice to people and doing things for others. They can't be stuck up like the Jennifers. Carlos shuddered at the three girls that came to mind. He quickly shook them before going to find the person who he had chosen to be the heir to his popularity.
"Hey Dak." Carlos said, slinging his arm around the newest Jock. He pulled him away from the girls he was talking to.
"I need to talk to you real quick."
They walked down the empty school halls for a minute before Carlos actually said anything. He wanted to make sure they were away from the rest of the students.
"Now, I'm pretty sure you want to know why I pulled you away from those hot girls. I'm getting pretty tired of all of these people being around me." Dak's eyes widened once he let Carlos' words sink in.
"A-Are you asking me-"
"Yes, I want you to take over. I've noticed that you aren't stuck up and you kind of remind me of myself when I first joined. Can I trust you?"
"O-Of course."
"Now, this won't be happening until the big game tomorrow."
"Really?" Dak said, excitedly. Carlos smiled and nodded.
"You won't regret it. I swear." Dak said before happily walking away.
"And don't tell anyone about this." Carlos told him before he got too far.
"I won't." He said before he turned the corner with a smile on his face. Carlos was happy that the first part of his plan was working. Now he just hoped that Dak would keep his mouth shut. Carlos smiled when he saw Kendall heading to his class.
He wanted to greet the blonde so he could sweet talk him but he didn't want to push it. He just had to do it through text. Carlos pulled out his phone but the bell rang, signalling that he needed to head to class. Once he got there he sat down in his usual seat but before he could pull out his phone his teammates started talking to him about the big game. He sighed because blowing them off wouldn't look good around this time. He could always text Kendall later.
Later ended up turning into the next day since everyone seemed to be craving Carlos attention today. To add to it, he and the rest of the team had a grueling practice to prepare for the big game. When Carlos got home he was planning on texting Kendall before he went to sleep but after his shower he was out like a light. The second he woke up he already knew he would be sore. He fought through it and was soon at the table eating breakfast.
"So about your new love interest."
"Dad, you'll meet them soon enough. That is if things work out."
"Why do you say that?" Mrs. Garcia said, joining in the conversation.
"Well, me being popular is a problem."
"How's that?" Mr. Garcia asked.
"Well, the person is extremely shy and they don't hang around...anyone really."
"Aww, why not?" His mother asked. Carlos and his father just looked at the woman as she ate some of her food.
"What?"
"Were you not here for the first part of what I said?" Carlos asked her.
"Oh I sort of blanked out, sorry."
"To answer your question, it's because he's shy."
"Oh so it is a guy." Carlos let out a sigh, he wasn't suppose to tell them, not yet.
"Carlos, it's fine that it's a guy." Mr. Garcia said.
"I know. I just wanted to surprise you guys with him."
"What's his name?" Mrs. Garcia said, getting a little excited.
"I'm not telling you."
"Oh come on Carlos. You can't just tell us about him and not tell us his name."
"Fine, his name is Kendall."
"Kendall...I like that." Mrs. Garcia said, smiling.
"Carlos and Kendall or Kendall and Carlos." Mr. Garcia said.
"I like how both of them sound." Carlos smiled at his parents before looking at the time.
"I have to go." Carlos announced before giving his mother a kiss on the cheek goodbye and a hug to his father.
The routine of saying hi to everyone at school was really getting old and Carlos was quickly getting tired of it. After today he wouldn't have to go through it again. Carlos spotted Kendall walking into the cafeteria and was about to go and talk to him but he realized that there were too many people at school. He sighed and headed to class.
When he sat down his body was still aching but he knew it wouldn't really go away until his pre-game excitement kicked in. He really wanted to text the blonde but he knew that the second he pulled out his phone someone was going to come and talk to him. About five minutes pasted of him just sitting there and no one had approached him yet. He could've texted Kendall by now. He reached for his phone and the bell rang. Carlos let out a loud grumble before putting his phone back in his pocket.
Getting in trouble wasn't going to help him and he wasn't going to risk it. If he got suspended from tonight's game that would blow a huge hole in his plan. By the time it was lunch Carlos was ready to get rid of this high school status more than anything. He guessed that until now he had always been tolerating everyone but the amount of people that thought was friends with him was ridiculous.
He didn't even know some of their names!
Carlos was sitting at his normal crowded table. He looked over to see Kendall laying on the table with his head down. He pulled his phone out and sent a quick text to Kendall before listening to this girl next to him talk about her...whatever.
"You haven't texted me since Sunday." Kendall texted.
Before Carlos could reply the fire alarm went off. Everyone knew that it was a drill but it still didn't stop the younger students from running for their lives. Everyone filed out of the cafeteria and to the front of the building. Carlos could see Kendall stand off to the side and he couldn't help but sigh. He wanted to be with the blonde so bad. When the bell rang for them to go back inside Carlos watched Kendall and made his way over to him.
Instead of going to meet up with him he silently walked a little behind him. For the first time in a while Carlos wasn't called for something. As the students walked through the hallway Carlos was thinking of what he could do to get the blonde's attention. He noticed that they were going to walk past the janitor's closet. This was probably going to scare the hell out of Kendall but Carlos couldn't resist.
As they got closer Carlos waited until no one was paying attention. He grabbed Kendall by his hoodie and pulled him close, covering his mouth before opening the closet and pulling him in. Carlos closed the door and quickly cut on the light so he wouldn't freak Kendall out. When he cut on the light he quickly regret ever doing this. Kendall was in the corner with his knees pulled up to his chest.
"Kendall?"
"I'm sorry! Please! I won't tell anyone! Just don't do this!"
"Kendall!"
By now Carlos was crouched in front of the now crying blonde. Carlos didn't know what was going on. All he did was pull Kendall into the closet. He pulled Kendall's hands from covering his eyes, so the blonde would see that it was only him. When he did Kendall's eyes were shut tight.
"Kendall, it's only me, Carlos."
Carlos was starting to panic when Kendall started to shake. He grabbed the blondes hands and intertwined their fingers before he moved forward and kissed Kendall. It was only a small peck but they both felt sparks and it calmed down Kendall.
When Kendall opened his eyes, they started to fill with tears before he wrapped his arms around Carlos. The latino was silently kicking himself for scaring Kendall like this but there had to be something else behind this.
Normally, when you pull people into a closet they don't immediately start to freak out, not like how Kendall did. Carlos just silently held Kendall, even when the bell rang for their next class, Carlos was still holding him as he cried. A few tears were prickling in his eyes too at the sound of Kendall's crying.
"Ugh, I'm such an idiot. Why on Earth did I even do this in the first place?" Carlos thought to himself. Kendall's crying was slowing but Carlos still felt his body shaking when the blonde pulled away. Carlos stood up and pulled Kendall up with him.
"Kendall I am so so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I just- I'm sorry." Kendall didn't say anything, he just nodded his head understandingly. Carlos reached up and wiped the tears from Kendall's face.
"Y-You could've just t-texted me."
Carlos mentally facepalmed. He should've texted Kendall to just met him here.
"I'm sorry, it's just everyone is around me and it's starting to get on my nerves. I can't really do anything because they all want to talk to me about something or show me something."
"But you're the most popular guy in school."
"I know but not after today's game."
Carlos smiled at Kendall's confused face something about the small light in the room made Kendall's green eyes seem to sparkle.
"What do you mean?"
"Are you doing anything after school?" Carlos asked, smiling when Kendall shook his head.
"Well, then come to the game and find out."
"But there's going to be a lot of people there."
"Shit...Nevermind you don't have to come. I can just tell you about it la-"
"No, I'll go."
"Are you sure?" Carlos asked in disbelief. He didn't want Kendall to be out of his comfort zone just to please him.
"I'm sure." Kendall said, smiling down at the latino. Carlos got a little too excited and pulled Kendall in and connected their lips. There was no doubt that there were sparks flying in between the two. When both boys pulled away the redness of their cheeks was noticable by both of them.
"We, um, we should probably go before the bell rings for our next class." Carlos said before opening the door as Kendall cut off the light. No one was in the halls as both boys exited the closet.
"So I'll see you later?"
Kendall nodded his head before they both parted ways in opposite directions. As Kendall walked to his class he couldn't help but reach up and let his fingers dance across his lips that were connected with his crush's seconds ago. One thing that was going through Kendall's mind was that he felt sparks. Carlos just kissed him and he felt sparks.
Kendall knew that he was going to be out of his comfort zone at this game but he knew that in order to get Carlos he was going to have to get over his shyness. Kendall's mind kept going back to what happened in the closet. His heart felt like it was about to burst out of his chest as he had those flashbacks.
He thought they were gone but apparently they weren't. For years he had those flashbacks but they started to fade each time. Then one day they were just gone. He just hoped that they weren't coming back. At least now he had the reminder of what pulled him from the flashback.
Carlos kissing him.
Kendall smiled as he walked into the schools hockey rink. There were a few people here even though he was a little early. There was mostly parents with their children. Kendall decided to sit in the back away from everyone.
As the place began to fill up Kendall started to grow tenser as time went on. So many people were showing up and he didn't know if he could do this. No, he had to be here for Carlos. That's all he repeated in his mind as more and more people showed up.
For Carlos.
Carlos was no seriously surprised when he skated out and saw Kendall in the stands. He was happy the blonde was here but he couldn't help but feel guilty knowing that Kendall doesn't like to be around people. As the match began, Carlos was on fire.
Skating past all of the team members before shooting into their net. The only problem was they had an excellent goalie. The game was halfway over and both teams were tied. Carlos hadn't been as much on top of his game because he had to focus on keeping Dak safe and he had to make sure Kendall was okay.
For the most part, the blonde seemed to be enjoying himself. The last play that they had Carlos ended up getting a nasty hit from the other team captain. At first he wanted to fight the guy for hitting him even when he didn't have the puck but he shook it off. He needed to stay focus for the last play.
As the puck came over to their team Carlos nodded towards Dak who was waiting off the side. The goalie had his eyes trained on Carlos as the time ticked down to the seconds. Carlos wasn't sure if his team was even fast enough to make down the ice. They passed the puck back and forth before it finally got to Carlos.
Almost all of the team members of the opposing team came barreling towards him as his team tried to fight them off. He saw Dak skated parallel to him as they approached the net. He kept his eyes on the goalie as if he was going to shoot.
A quick flick of the wrist and the puck was flying over to Dak, who hit it with ease. It flew just up under the goalie as he dived to block it. The buzzer sounded the second the puck flew into the net. The crowd erupted in cheers and screams as the team skated over to Dak. Carlos smiled as he took off his helmet, watching everyone seem to cheer for Dak. He knew the other boy was probably screaming with joy right about now.
Kendall couldn't believe what he just saw. Carlos had gave the winning shot to Dak. Was he doing this for him? He couldn't be. But what if he was? Kendall didn't know what to believe. He just watched as the team celebrated their victory while the losing team exited the rink. Everyone started chanting Dak's name and Kendall was searching for Carlos' jersey number but didn't see it. Kendall felt his phone vibrate and took it out of his pocket to see he had a message from Carlos.
"Meet me in the front of the school, please."
Kendall smiled at the cheering team before exiting and going into the school hallways. Kendall felt a little worried as he walked through the creepy school hallways, heading to the front. He jumped at the sound of a loud machine but saw it was the janitor buffing the floor. He walked a little faster to the front and when he got there he saw Carlos waiting.
"Hey." Kendall said, walking out of the door.
"Hey." Carlos said, smiling at him.
Kendall walked over to the latino and wanted to ask him why he did what he did but he got lost in his eyes. Carlos seemed to do the same as the night sky seem to illuminate off of the blonde's gorgeous face, making him seem heavenly. The only thing that seemed to break their gazes was the sound of crickets chirping.
"Did you, um, did you give up-"
"That winning shot for you? Yes." Carlos said, finishing his sentence. Kendall smiled down at the latino wanting to do something really bad. Carlos seemed to know what he was thinking because a second later he connected their lips. When they pulled away Kendall wanted to know one thing.
"Why?"
"Because, I noticed that you don't hang around that many people. I really want to be with you and me being really popular will make things uncomfortable for you because of the people always around me. To be honest, it was starting to annoy me too."
"Do you think it'll really work like that?" Kendall asked.
Carlos gave him a smile and said, "I know it'll work."
"I can't believe you're doing all of this for me. I really don't deserve someone like you." Carlos shook his head at Kendall's words.
"I don't want you to ever say that again. You are special Kendall. You are nice, caring, and an all around great person. Anyone would be lucky enough to have you and I feel like I've hit the jackpot." Kendall gave a small laugh as blush spread across his cheeks.
"If James was here, he would tell me that what I sad was extremely corny because it was."
"It wasn't it was very nice." Kendall told him.
"And slightly corny." He whispered but Carlos still heard him. They both began to laugh before Kendall noticed that they were alone.
"Where is everyone?" Kendall asked.
"I think everyone left out the back doors to the parking lot. Come on, I can take you home." Kendall nodded before following Carlos to the parking lot.
When they got there it seemed empty. Both of them seemed to be wondering the same thing. How long were they standing outside exactly? They both got in Carlos' silver Kia Forte before Carlos started it up and drove off.
"I didn't know you had a car." Kendall said as they pulled out of the parking lot.
"Yeah, I don't drive it that much. I usually just carpool with James and Logan but on days like this when I know I'm going to be staying late, I drive my car." Carlos told him before cutting on the radio.
They weren't really listening to it but had it on for some sort of noise so it wouldn't be quiet. Kendall just couldn't believe how lucky he was. He said that if he got Carlos he would stop those suicidal thoughts. It seemed like the more he was around Carlos the less those thoughts were in his mind. Now it was like they were gone completely.
As they pulled up to Kendall's house they both let out a sigh, not wanting to leave each other. Carlos leaned over for a kiss but Kendall leaned away.
"I-I'm sorry but my parents don't know."
Carlos let out a sigh before nodding his head. He completely understood. Kendall felt bad and he told himself that he wasn't going to let his parents stop him but here he was doing it again.
"Ah fuck it." Kendall said before turning Carlos' face towards his and connected their lips. He felt Carlos smile into the kiss before he pulled away. He wanted to go further and into a make out session but he knew he was probably moving too fast.
"See you tomorrow. I can't wait for our date." Carlos said as Kendall got out of the car.
He made sure Kendall was safely in the house before driving off. Kendall walked into the house and closed the door behind him. He jumped slightly when his parents were standing there.
"Where have you been?" Kendall's father asked.
"I was at the hockey game at our school. I texted mom and told her but she never replied."
"But you know I lost my phone." She told him. Kendall knew, that's why he texted her, so she couldn't reply and they couldn't tell him when to come home.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. Next time I'll just text dad." Kendall said before heading upstairs before they could ask him anymore questions.
As Kendall walked into his room he stripped off his clothes and quickly hopped in the shower. When he was finish he put on some boxers before climibing into bed. He heard his phone vibrate and he reached over to see he had a text from Carlos.
"Missing you already, sleep well."
Kendall couldn't help but smile as he replied, "I miss you too. I wish we could still be outside or something." Kendall started to drift off to sleep but before he was completely gone he saw Carlos' reply.
"That way I'd be able to kiss you again."
