Carlos shivered as he pulled his small jacket tighter around him. He was standing on James' balcony to his apartment,waiting for James to get there so they could watch the hockey game.
They had been dating for almost three months now. Carlos had finally come out to his friends-all except Sydney and Corey still accepted him though. Everyone had turned their backs on him:but he didn't care. Carlos was getting more...familiar with James gang. Logan and Kendall had immediatley accepted him,mainly cause they were forced to by James.
Janes had warned that if anybody laid a finger on him,meaning to hurt him or touch him sexually,they would never be seen again. Carlos sighed as a small warm wind blew at him but he jumped when the door was opened behind him. He had been edgy since he had been officially dating James. Carlos turned to see Logan staring at him,leaning against the frame of the door. He twiddled with his brass knuckles before he walked out and leaned against the railing with Carlos.
"you know...James is lucky he found you." Logan coughed and looked at Carlos.
Carlos quirked an eyebrow as Logan traced a tattoo on his arm,it looked like a bunch of thorns looped together,in the middle sat a bleeding skull. Carlos swallowed hard,still a little tense around Logan. He may seem small but Carlos had seen him take three guys with knives on at once and still come off on top.
"James is one of those guys that,"Logan looked up at Carlos from his tattoo,"just couldn't find himself or one be,"Logan dis a weird motion with his hands.
Carlos quirked an eyebrow.
"compatabile?"
Logan snapped his fingers.
"yea that's it. He couldn't find anyone compatabile with. It's why he got bad a while back. He fell in love so many times he finally destroyed his heart and when it was gone," Logan did another weird hand motion,"he was gone. He got into the drug biz and fighting,but finally he decided that he needed to be on top. He climbed and climbed until he was on top of the chain and was in command. But he still couldn't find that person, until you."
Carlos sniffed a little and wiped his eyes as he smiled at Logan.
"so have you found that person yet Logan?" he giggled.
Logan bit his lips and looked around.
"yeah but you ain't gonna say nothig got it?" Logan sneered at Carlos,who smiled in return and nodded. Logan pulled Carlos close and hissed in his ear.
"well you see me n Kendall...we've been friends a long time and I started feeling some stuff for him and when I finally came out to him turns out it was the same situation for him. We've been dating for a while."
Carlos laughed and clapped his hands,squealing as he jumped up and down.
"I'm so happy for you two!"
He stopped when he heard a door open and close and voices filled the apartment. Carlos grinned and ran in to jump into James arms.
"wow didn't know you missed me so much carlitos."
"yo Logan you want some Chinese food babe?" Kendall yelled at Logan walked in. Logan smiled at Kendall before he walked over and took the food from Kendall setting them on the coffee table and flopping down on the couch,patting the space next to him for Kendall to jump and sit next to him.
James looked at them weird,before he set Carlos down and pointed at them,looking at Carlos weird.
"what-"
"their in love." Carlos whispered as he leaned forward to tell James in his ear. James smirked but then he smiled for real. He nodded before he slipped his hand into Carlos' and dragged him out of the apartment.
"wait James! What about the hockey game?" Carlos cried as James dragged him out of the apartment. "I-I need to talk to you alone." James said as he dragged Carlos down into the elevator and rode it all the way down to the bottom.

Carlos stared at his boyfriend as he was dragged into the park next to the apartment buildings. He didn't know where this was headed but as he was being dragged by James into the dark park he couldn't help but wonder what the hell was gonna happen to him. James finally stopped and turned around to look Carlos in the eye.
James pulled Carlos close and passionately kissed him,holding him by the waist and Carlos threw his arms around James' neck.
James pulled away and stroked his Latinos cheek.
"Carlos we've only been dating a few months but...you've...changed my life...and I know it may be a bit early but I just need to know..."
James let go of him and pecked his lips before he took Carlos' hand and pressed something small and hard into Carlos' hand.
Carlos slowly opened his hand and gasped when he saw a small silver ring with a diamond.
"Carlos will you m-marry me?" Carlos gasped and looked up to see James crying. His knees felt weak. He fell,but James grabbed him as they sank to the ground.
"James-"
"please Carlos I love you! I dont care if your eighteen I'll let you live with me! I-I'll pay for your college! I'll get you anything you want! Please marry me Carlos! I won't take no for an asnwer please!" James sobbed into Carlos' jacket.
"James..."
He looked up and blinked through his tears at Carlos. He felt vulnerable as he sobbed.
"I-I will marry you. B-but can we wait till after I graduate?"
James nodded and grabbed Carlos face pulling him closer to kiss him as he slipped the ring on Carlos' finger.
He touched the promise ring and smiled.
"I hope you know this ring is real and I intend to live up to it's meaning."
James smed as he felt Carlos press a kiss to his forehead.
"you know I have to be home soon."
"damn I want this to last longer."
"we made a deal with my parents you know."
"fuck I wish I hadn't."
"oh well too late."
"fine let's go."
"I love you."
"love you too."

Carlos inhaled James scent and kissed him before he pushed James away and walked inside. He leaned against the door and sighed,staring at his rings as he did. He couldn't believe he was getting married,especially to the man he truely loved.
"Carlos you were supposed to be home an hour ago!" Carlos blinked and stared at his furios dad. All the happiness was drained out of him as he shrunk down against the door.
"Benito-"
"no! Esmerelda! I told him!"
"Benito please you're scaring him honey!"
Carlos' dad turned back to him and noticed the engangement ring on his sons finger. He frowned and pointed at it.
"what the hell is that?"
"Benito please-"
"I-it's an engangement ring papi...i-I'm marrying James."
His dads face had never been more redder then it had ever been when he said that. His dad grabbed him and threw him into the living room. Carlos hit he ground and began crying as he felt his dad kick him hard in the side.
"p-papi! Please!"
His dad picked him up by the collar of his shirt and glare hard at him.
"I thought this was a phase but I guess I was wrong. I was an idiotic to think that letting you date that boy would change your mind but I was wrong."
His dad threw him down again as kicked him hard again.
"stupid faggot!"
"BENITO!"
his dad turned to stare at his mom,who was glaring at him.
"get out. Now."
His dad stomped out without a word and Carlos was happy as he passed out from the pain.

James held Carlos close as he glanced down at the bruises. Carlos sniffed and looked at James. "thanks for coming."
"no problem. I would do anything for you babe. I swear I'm gonna kill your dad-"
"no just forget about him okay? I have to take care of my mom now he's gone."
"I'm glad he is. I knew he didn't like you by the way he looked at you."
"James I'm glad I meet you,even if the first time we met was when you were beating up someone in an alley."
James smirked and kissed him.
"so...Jamie?"
"yes Bambi?"
"have you...ever thought about a family?"
James nodded. "yes."
"James I want to have a family when we get married."
"like I said bambi I'll give you anything you want."
He felt a Carlos kiss his cheek before he yawned and snuggled into his chest.
"James?"
"yes?" he was getting tired too.
"you're the best thing that has ever happened to me."
James looked down at his Bambi to see he had fallen asleep. He kissed the top of Carlos' head before he started sinking down into his fiancée bed.
"you're the best thing that has ever happened to me too Carlos. I would die for you if I could."
"and I would give up everything,air life anything for you James."
James looked down to see Carlos smiling,his eyes still closed. He chuckled before he let sleep over whelm him.
