"So, you're into guys," Ben nodded in understanding, while Carlos gulped s he waited for his reaction. Ben could either react good or bad, some people in Auradon weren't so understanding. He hoped Ben was.
"I know the perfect guy to set you up with!" Ben smiled as he smacked his clenched fist on his palm. Carlos sighed in relief, then Ben continued. "He's on the tourney team with me. He's chill and funny, his name is Jay." Carlos paused.
"Wait. Is he the one that flirts with the cheerleaders?" Carlos didn't talk to him, but he knew who he was. Jay's the best player on tourney. "I don't think he's gay, Ben. He's a player, literally." he stated.
Ben chuckled. "He's bisexual. Don't ask." He swiftly added when Carlos was about to ask how he knows. "Besides, he may look like a player but Jay is actually loyal and a good guy. Give him a chance."
Carlos hesitated. "I don't know. This is too sudden... Not to mention the fact that my best friend wants to set me up with a player." Ben rolled his eyes. "Would I set you up with a monster? Or, someone that'll treat you like crap?" Good point.
Sighing, "Alright. Why not?" Carlos reluctantly agreed. Ben wouldn't set him up with a bad guy.
So, there was Carlos in a fancy looking restaurant, sitting down. Ben took it upon himself to do a reservation and handle everything. Carlos was fidgeting the entire time, he was so nervous, now regretting saying yes to this- this blind date.
Carlos was too busy scolding himself that he didn't hear someone clearing their throat. "You must be Carlos?" Jay said, sitting down across him. Carlos snapped out of his turmoil and looked directly at Jay. He looked hot in a suit, Carlos was mesmerized. Wow.
"I've never seen you dressed so nicely." That probably, no, accidently came out as an insult, "I mean- you look nice in school, but you're very handsome in a suit." Jay raised his eyebrow as his smiled flattered. Great. Carlos blew it! He wasn't good at this. That's why he'd never gone out with anyone.
"I-I'm sorry. This was a bad idea. I'm sorry Ben put you up to this, he was just trying to help out. I'm probably making a full out of myself and as you can tell my compliments suck. Let's just pretend this never happened."
Suddenly, Jay laughed. Carlos tensed, afraid that he'll either get mocked or yelled at. "You're cute when you get anxious." That was something he didn't expect Jay to say.
"What?" Carlos nervously blushed. He was just called cute. Unless he heard wrong or something.
"When Ben told me about this blind date, I honestly didn't expect a cute guy to be my date." Jay's lips quirked upwards. Carlos blushed harder upon hearing the word cute again. He really liked that word now, especially when it was coming from Jay.
"Then its okay for the date to continue," Carlos asked, his heart pounding so very loudly. "Nothing will make me happier." Jay lightly touched his hand on top of the table. "Guess I owe Ben." Carlos couldn't agree more, then he boldly grabbed Jay's hand.
"Yeah, me too," Carlos smiled. He's so hugging Ben tomorrow.
