The S.S. Jarlos

Chap. 25 In The Air Like Confetti

Carlos had walked out of the bedroom groggily that morning, surprised when he found a big breakfast feast awaiting him. Suspicious, he examined the food-picking up each piece of bacon and thoroughly examining it. Seems safe.

He sat down and began to eat.

Suddenly, James was beside him (he wasn't paying attention due to the bacon).

"Oh, I didn't see you there."

James kissed his cheek. "That's alright. You like the breakfast?"

"Mhm. But since when were you the on who makes breakfast?" Carlos asked with a mouthful of bacon. Like, aren't you supposed to be the selfish bitchy one? Carlos thought to himself.

"Why wouldn't I? It's your birthday, so I decided to be nice."

Carlos stopped with his fork in midair. He looked utterly and completely confused.

Carlos cocked his head to the side. "Wait, what?"

James rolled his eyes. That's the fourth time in a row that Carlos has forgotten his own birthday... James munched on his piece of bacon. "I said it's your birthday. Did someone forget again?" James teased, poking his side.

"Maybe..."

James laughed and kissed his cheek again. "Happy Birthday, Carlitos."

"Thanks. So where's my present?" Carlos asked excitedly, putting down his fork and jumping to his feet.

"Rrrriightt this way!" James said, grabbing Carlos' chair and spinning it around. Carlos gasped when he saw it.

Right behind him, was a go-cart, aka the epitome of awesomeness.

"OHMYGOSH!" Carlos yelled, putting on his helmet and scrambling out of his chair to sit on the go-cart. James chuckled and watch his boyfriend messing about and ranting about his present. Carlos was letting out all kinds of little exclamations..."No way, this is a brand new model!"..."Yay! I'm so happy, everyone's gonna think i'm so cool!"

"They sure will..." James murmured, smiling at how cute Carlos was being. He couldn't wait to spend the rest of his life with the boy.

Just like that, Carlos was clinging to his side. He buried his face in James' chest. "Thanks, Jamie." Carlos said softly. "Thanks so much."

He kissed Carlos' forehead. "Anytime." he murmured. "I love you."

"Love you."
