Jay sat down on a table, across him was Carlos, who was reading a thick book. "Guess what?" Jay asked, a grin spreading on his lips. Carlos blinked and put his book down to answer Jay. "What?"
"Someone asked me out." Jay pointed at himself, "And, she looked foxy too." Carlos rolled his eyes and went back to reading his book.
Jay's smile flattered, "What? No, congratulations Jay?"
"Congratulations Jay," Carlos flatly replied, with no acknowledgement whatsoever. He turned a page as he continued reading. Jay frowned, then smirked. "Oh, I see. You're jealous."
Carlos snapped his head up. Did Jay know Carlos liked him? "W-What?" He nervously closed the book. "I can explain."
"You're jealous that someone asked me out." He laughed, which caused Carlos to narrow his eyes as he made a stern expression. "Don't worry I'm sure someone will ask you out soon, Carlos."
"I'm not jealous," Carlos stated, and opened the book to find the page he left off. Randomly, Jay snatched the book away from his hands, "You're not jealous, huh? That must mean you have someone you like already. Who is it?" Jay questioned, teasing Carlos.
Lightly blushing, "It doesn't matter. Give me back my book!" He tried to get it from across Jay, but it was fruitless since Jay only raised the book higher. Out of Carlos' reach.
"Not until you tell who you like? Is it Evie?"
"What?! No! She's like an older sister to me." Carlos started to climb the table, trying to get his book. "Jay, give me back my book!" he repeated as he was beginning to get upset.
"Who is it then? Is it Jane? Please tell me it's not her." Jay sneered as he lifted the book higher, "Because if it is... Wow." There was nothing wrong with Jane, but Carlos and her didn't exactly match.
Carlos growled. "It's not her. IT'S YOU!" He slightly shouted as he accidentally admitted, finally grabbing his book when Jay lowered his arm. His expression was priceless, a mixture of shock and devastated. Carlos mentally winced; he just told Jay the truth. Why did he have to blurt it out?
"Me...?" Jay asked, "Since when?" He couldn't compose himself, he was never aware of Carlos' feelings for him.
"When you told me you have my back..." Carlos looked away, he couldn't look at Jay, not like this. He set the book on the table, no longer feeling the need to read.
"But, that was months ago," Jay proclaimed. "Why didn't you ever tell me?"
Carlos looked directly at Jay. "You think it's easy to tell your best friend that you have a crush on him? 'Jay, I liked you for a long time. Would you go out with me?' Yeah, No. It doesn't work like that. At least, not when you're after beautiful princesses." He huffed, while Jay remains silent.
"Look, let's just forget this ever happened." Carlos requested.
"If you have asked me out before, I would've said yes," Jay stated, which caused Carlos to be taken aback. "W-What? Really?" Carlos mentally face palmed himself, Jay would have said yes if he had asked him out in the beginning.
Jay nodded, "I don't see why not? We've been best friends for a while, and you know everything about me." Carlos couldn't believe what he was hearing. All this time...
"Oh. Well, I guess it's too late now," Carlos sighed, melancholy. Some lucky girl asked him out. "I'm sure whoever asked you out would be lucky to have someone like you." Suddenly, Jay chuckled, startling Carlos.
"I never said yes to the confession," Jay smiled, "So, say it, ask me, Carlos?" He propped his elbows on the table and put his chin on his palm as he waited for Carlos to say it. Carlos was still stunned, but that didn't stop him from asking Jay out with a huge smile on his face.
