Mal's POV
It has been over two days since Carlos almost tried to kiss me and I still can't stop thinking about how me and Carlos almost kissed the other day. There has been times where I can't tell if Carlos is flirting with me or if he's just being friendly by the way he acts around me. Ever since Carlos almost tried to kiss me the other day things have been weird between us because Carlos keeps ignoring my texts when I really want to talk to him. I'm sick of Carlos ignoring my text so, I send out a text to Jay to tell Carlos to text me back.
Jay's POV
When I was getting ready for school my phone went off. I unlocked my phone and saw that I got a new text from Mal that says.
Mal: Hey Jay I have been trying to get a hold of Carlos for two days but, he keeps ignoring me. Can you please tell Carlos to text me back because I really need to talk to him?
Me: Sure, I will tell him to text you back.
Mal: Thanks Jay for trying to help me out.
Carlos: So, Jay who are you texting?
Me: It was a text from Mal.
Carlos: What does the text say?
Me: She texted me saying that she wants me to tell you that she really wants you to text her back and to quit ignoring her texts.
Carlos: I'm not in the mood to talk to her right now.
Me: Look bro, she really wants to talk to you about something just go talk to her. Did something happen between you two is that why you are ignoring her?
Carlos: Yes, something did happen between us recently I really don't want to talk about it right now.
Evie's POV
There's only four days left before Ben's Coronation Day I'm super excited for Coronation Day. I was standing at my locker right before Chemistry class talking to my Best Friends before my boyfriend walked by.
Ben: Hey, Princess are you excited for my Coronation this week?
Me: Yes, I'm super excited to watch you become King of all Auradon.
Ben: Anyways, I just want to let you know that since you're my girlfriend you get to be up front with my family at my Coronation. Fairy Godmother will be there up front too because she blesses me with her Wand which she only uses for special occasions.
Me: Hey is it okay if me and my best friends be up front with me at your Coronation? Carlos, Jay and Mal are like my family. The four of us are like a package deal and we like to stick together.
Ben: Sure, I don't see why not.
Carlos POV
I remembered the day I fell in love with my best friend Mal. It wasn't love at first at sight all it took was one look for me to notice how beautiful Mal is. One moment I only saw her as just a friend then next thing I realized that I'm in love with my childhood best friend Mal. I have been in love with Mal for almost 5 years now. It all started when we were both in 6th grade.
One day back in either late 2010 or early 2011 Mal was having a bad day at school. I don't remember what exactly happened all I remembered that Anthony Tremaine the son of Anastasia Tremaine said something really mean to Mal that day that made her so mad. Mal was so upset with whatever Anthony told her that day to the point she ended up running outside to back of the school in tears. Mal for whatever reason didn't want anyone to see her bad side so she always ran away when she was mad or angry and didn't want anyone to follow her. I have always found this rather odd it was as if Mal was hiding something from me, Evie and Jay so I ran after her to make sure she is okay.
Me: Mal, are you okay?
Mal: Carlos, I told you to not run after me or else I might hurt you.
Me: Mal, I have been friends with you my whole life I know for a fact that you would never hurt your friends on purpose.
Mal: Look Carlos you need to stay away from me because you don't want to see my bad side.
Me: Look Mal, I know you are hiding something from me.
Mal: Carlos, please just leave me alone.
Then all the sudden Mal transform into a beautiful Purple Dragon. I had no idea that she can turn into a Dragon just like her mother. It was that moment when I start seeing Mal as more than just a friend. Just watching her transform into a Dragon for the first time made me realized how beautiful my Best Friend is which is something that I didn't notice before. That was the very moment I fell in love with my Best Friend four or five years ago.
Today is the day that I am going to tell my best friend Mal that I have always had feelings for her. Honestly, I am actually really scared to tell her because I don't know how she will react. My first period which is Chemistry is about ready to start in a few minutes so, I started walking over to my Chemistry class. Then Mal walks over to me with a mad look on her face.
Mal: Look Carlos, we need to talk about how you almost kiss me this past Friday. I have been trying to text you all weekend so I can talk to you about it but no you just avoid me all weekend. Carlos, you have been acting really weird ever since you almost kiss me what has gotten into you?
Me: Mal, look I am sorry I ignored your texts over the weekend. I was really busy with Tourney this past weekend because I had a game on Saturday. I had an away game all the way out in Enchanted Forest in Arendelle which is a six-hour drive from here and I didn't have any internet connection in the middle of the forest.
Mal: It's whatever Carlos. I want to know why you almost try to kiss me last Friday? Do you like me or something? I just want to know the truth whatever it is you can tell me Carlos because I am one of your best friends.
Me: I… I will tell you about it later right now we need to go to class because class is about ready to start.
Mal: Okay you better tell me about it later.
I can't believe I just did that by trying to change the topic. I was this close to telling her how much I like her but no I was too scared to tell her the truth. I am going to talk to Evie about this later to get some advice how to not be so nervous about admitting the truth to Mal about my feelings for her.
Mal and Evie's dorm room
After school got out, I went over to knock on Mal and Evie's dorm room so I can talk to Evie. Then Evie comes over to answer the door.
Me: Hey Evie, does Mal happen to be here with you?
Evie: No, she went to the library to do some studying. Why do you ask that?
Me: I wanted to talk to you alone and I wanted to make sure Mal was not around.
Then Evie opens the door to let me in and we both go sit on her bed.
Evie: So how did it go with confessing your feelings to Mal?
Me: I was way too nervous when I was trying to tell her the truth how I feel about her. I am afraid if I tell her how I feel about her it will ruin my friendship with her. What if she doesn't feel the same way I feel about her and our friendship is ruin forever?
Evie: Carlos, you just need to tell Mal the truth that you're in love with her.
Me: Hey Evie, I know that you're good at chemistry. Do you happen to know any potions or spells that would make me tell the truth so I can tell her how I feel?
Evie: No, I do not know any potions or spells that make you tell the truth. Mal just happen to leave her spell book here I can look to see if there is any potion or spell that makes you tell the truth in there.
Me: That sounds perfect go look in Mal's spell book right now to see if there is anything in there that will make me tell the truth. So, I can tell Mal how I really feel without getting so nervous to do it.
Then Evie went over to Mal's bed to grab her spell book that she left on her bed right before she left. Evie started looking through Mal's spell book to see if she can find something that can help me be honest with Mal about my feelings.
Evie: I found something in Mal's spell book that will make you tell the truth all the time no matter what. It is a spell that is called a "Truth Gummy".
Me: This is exactly what I need to tell Mal how I feel how long do you think it will take to make it?
Evie: It says that it will take an hour to make I am going to go downstairs to the kitchen. Can you meet in an hour when I am done making the Truth Gummy?
Me: Sure, come over to my room in an hour to give me the Truth Gummy.
Evie: Deal I promise that I will meet you in your room when it is ready.
Then Evie gets up and leaves her room with Mal's spell book. Then I get up and go back to my dorm room to wait for Evie to give me the Truth Gummy when it is ready.
Jay and Carlos dorm room
For the past hour I couldn't stop thinking about Mal and how today will be the day I will finally tell her how I feel about her. I am so nervous to tell my best friend who I have known my whole life about how I have been in love with her since we were in 6th grade. I been trying to keep my mind occupied by playing video games before Evie comes over, but I can't stop thinking about her. The girl who I have been in love for years. Evie walks in my room with a container full of Truth Gummies. Evie sits on my bed and I sit next to her while petting Dude. She holds up a Truth Gummy in her hand up to show me.
Me: This thing will make me say what I really feel to Mal and to not feel so nervous tell my best friend that I am in love with her?
Evie: Yeah, it's a Truth Gummy, so take it or leave it.
Me: Okay.
I was about ready to take the gummy from Evie's hand, but Evie pulled it back.
Evie: Wait! Are you sure you want to take this because it will make you tell the truth no matter what?
Me: Yeah, I'll take my chances.
Then Evie is about ready to give me the Truth Gummy before Dude took the gummy out from her hand and eats it.
Evie: Oh! Bad dog.
Dude: Whoa, that was nasty.
Both me and Evie look at each other very confused what just happened did Dude just talk?
Me: Dude, did you just talk?
Dude: Yes, all because that Truth Gummy gave me the ability to talk. Look Carlos, I am not expert on human girls, but I do know one thing that you really do love Mal. I may just be a dog, but I can tell by the way you talk about her that you really do love her. All I am saying is that you need to tell how you really feel about her before it is too late, and before you lose the best thing that ever happen to you.
Me: Thanks Dude, for the advice. Evie, I am ready to give this Truth Gummy a chance to work its magic.
Evie: Okay here you go Carlos.
Then Evie picks up another Truth Gummy from the container and I grab it from her. I put the Truth Gummy in my mouth and start chewing it in my mouth.
I head down to the library which is where Evie told me Mal is so I can talk to her alone. I see Mal sitting at a table alone studying and I walk over up to Mal and say.
Me: Mal, I need to talk to you alone in private.
Mal: Okay. What is it Carlos?
Me: Just come with me to the Enchanted Lake right now so I can talk to you alone.
I grab her hand and take her to the Enchanted Lake where we can talk alone in private just the two of us. We are both standing near the Enchanted Lake staring into each other eyes. She looks so beautiful.
Mal: Is something wrong?
Me: No, it is not that.
Mal: Then what is it?
Me: I don't want to keep pretending that we are dating anymore. I am really sorry. I just can't do this anymore.
Mal: Wait, why don't you want to pretend that we are dating anymore?
Me: I just can't keep pretending that we are in a relationship when I want things to be real with you because I am in love with you Mal. The entire time we were pretending to date I was never faking my feelings I have for you. I have always had feelings for you for as long as I can remember. Mal you are the very first girl I have ever like and the only girl I want to be with. That is why I try to kiss you on Friday because we were having a romantic moment singing a duet to a love song. I just wanted to kiss you so badly for as long as I can remember. Then when I try to kiss you, I was too scared to kiss my best friend because I didn't want things to be awkward between us. I am so sorry that I didn't tell you sooner.
Mal: Why didn't you tell me sooner that you like me?
Me: I was scared Mal you know how bad my anxiety can get. I was scared if I told you the truth about how I have feelings for you it would ruin our friendship forever. I couldn't afford to lose you in my life Mal because you are the best thing that ever happen to me. I also knew that you would never like me back and even if you did nothing would ever happen because love is forbidden on the Isle.
Mal: Carlos I never knew you had feelings for me. I just wish you told me sooner.
Me: I have always liked you Mal. I just kept my feelings to myself for years because I knew that nothing would ever happen between us. Well I guess you just don't have feelings for your best friend just like I figure.
I started walking away from Mal because I know that she would never feel the same way I feel about her. I was about ready to head out and go back to my dorm room until Mal grab my hand to stop me from leaving.
Mal: Wait Carlos, please don't go that is not true what you just said.
Me: What are you talking about?
Mal: The truth is Carlos you are not the only one that feels this way because I love you Carlos Oscar De Vil. I have been in love with you for years. Just like you I kept my feelings to myself for many years because I was scared how you would react.
Me: I am surprise that you feel the same way that I feel about you. I honestly didn't think you would ever like me back.
Mal: Oh Carlos, what makes you think that I would never like you back?
Me: That is because I know that your biggest fear is falling in love. My biggest fear is feeling unloved because my parents never loved me back like they are supposed too. My father left my mom when I was a baby and wanted nothing to do with me. I was raised by my mother who doesn't even care about me because she loves her car and her fur coat more than she loves me. All my life I didn't think anyone was ever going to love me back. So, I just gave up on love because I didn't think anyone would ever love me back.
Mal: Oh Carlos, that is not true don't ever think that you're unlovable because I love you Carlos. I have always like you I am so sorry that I didn't tell you sooner. I used to be scared of falling in love because my mother raised me to believe that love is weak. All my life I was scared to fall in love and get hurt because my mother told me that all love does is cause you pain. Then all that changed when I found myself falling in love with my best friend. Carlos because of you I learn that love is not weak. I was scared that if I told you the truth, I would get hurt just like what happened to my mom when my father left her when I was only a baby.
Me: Mal, please don't ever think that I promised that I would never hurt you ever.
Mal: Carlos, can I ask you something?
Me: Sure, you can ask me anything.
Mal: When did you realized that you were in love with me?
Me: To be honest I probably have been in love with you my whole life but just didn't know it. I first realize that I was in love with you when I was either 9 or 10 years old and you were either 11 or 12 years old at the time. We were in 6th grade one day someone said something to you that made you had an anxiety attack. So, I ran after you to see if you were okay and that is when I became the first person besides your mother to know about your powers. When I saw you transform into a Dragon, I thought you were so beautiful when you turn into a Dragon. That is when I realized how beautiful my best friend is and I found myself falling for you. Mal, I have been in love with you since we were in 6th grade.
Mal: Do you know what is so weird?
Me: What?
Mal: That was the same day I found myself falling for you.
Mal's POV
I remember the day I fell in love with Carlos as if it happened yesterday. For a long time, I completely forgot about the moment I fell in love with Carlos until recently I realized the moment that made me fall in love with one of my best friend.
One day in sixth grade I had anxiety attack because of something Anthony said to me that made me mad. I was so mad at Anthony because of what he said to me which trigger me to transform into a fire breathing Dragon which only happens when I am really mad. I didn't want my friends to see me turned into a monster because I was afraid they would be scared of seeing me as a fire breathing Dragon. When the barrier was first created Fairy Godmother tried to get rid of all the magic on the Isle so, Villains didn't have the power to hurt someone with magic. Little did Fairy Godmother know that not all the magic on the Isle was gone forever the spell she used went wrong causing the Isle to still have a little bit of magic left. The Isle still has a little bit of magic left but, not enough to hurt someone. Villains that used to have powers children inherited their powers with the very little bit of magic that the Isle still has. I will never forget the look on Carlos face when he saw me transformed into a Dragon for the first time, surprisingly he wasn't scared of seeing me as a fire breathing Dragon. I was so surprised that the boy who was raised to be scared of dogs all his life wasn't scared of seeing me transform into a fire breathing Dragon. It was that very moment that made me fall in love with Carlos just seeing him not be afraid of seeing me as a monster and still willing to be friends with a girl that transforms into a Dragon every time she gets mad. That is what made me fall in love with Carlos just watching him seeing me at my worst and still wants to be my friend is what made me start seeing him as more than just a friend.
Carlos: Are you being serious that you started liking me was the same day I started liking you?
Me: Yes, that was the day I found myself falling for you when I saw that you weren't afraid of seeing me as a fire-breathing Dragon. I was shock, that the same boy that scared of dogs back then wasn't scared of seeing me as a fire-breathing Dragon.
Carlos POV
I took both of Mal's hands and got down on one knee which surprised Mal.
Me: Look Mal, you're my best friend and the only girl I have ever love. I just want to be with you for real this time with no more pretending that we are dating. Mal, do you want to be my girlfriend for real this time?
Mal: Look Carlos, we can't be together because all our life we have been told that villain relationships don't last. Two Villain Kids aren't supposed to fall in love with each other because they will never get to live happily ever after. I'm sorry Carlos, I don't think it's a good idea.
Me: Mal, I don't care about any of that I just want to be with you. I want to prove to all of Auradon and the Isle of the Lost that two Villain Kids can fall in love with each other and have their own happy ending. Now that I know that we both have feelings for each other I really want to try to make this work. Please Mal, just give me a chance because I want to be more than friends with you. I will do whatever it takes if it means that I can be with you. I want to take you out on cute dates if you just give me chance.
Mal: I want this too Carlos to be in a relationship with you for real this time. I want to be with you, but I am scared.
Me: What are you scared of?
Mal: I am scared that if we do start dating when we break up it will ruin our friendship forever.
Me: I am also scared that it will ruin our friendship too. I want to just give us a chance I promised we will take things slow. Since you didn't give me a real answer earlier, I am going to ask you this again. Mal, do you want to be my girlfriend for real this time?
Mal: Yes, I would love to be your girlfriend.
I was so happy when she said "Yes". I am finally dating my best friend who I have been in love with for years. I wrap my arms around her and gave her hug. Then I whispered in her ear.
Me: Mal, I love you so much.
Mal: I love you too Carlos.
I grab her face and lean in close to her so I can kiss her on the lips. I can't believe that I just kissed my best friend which is something I been wanting to do to her for years. I finally had my first kiss with my one of my best friends who I have been in love with for years and I couldn't even be more happier than that. Our first kiss was perfect until Jay came out of nowhere with Evie interrupting me when I was in the middle of kissing Mal by calling out my name.
Jay: Carlos, there you are I have been looking for you every where.
Me: Why were you looking for me in the first place?
Jay: Because we have Tourney Practice in 10 minutes so, I asked Evie if she knows where you are so, I can get you for Tourney Practice. Evie told me that you went to the Enchanted Lake to go confess your feelings for Mal. Anyways Carlos we need to get going or else we are going to be late for Practice.
Mal: Wait Evie, you knew that Carlos was going to confess his feelings for me?
Evie: Yes, I knew all about it because he told me how he feels about you and came to me to ask me for some advice.
Jay: We both knew all along that you two have liked each other since 6th grade.
Mal: Look Evie and Jay, I'm really sorry that I lied to you about me and Carlos dating. I should of just told you the truth that we were just pretending to date to get Audrey off my back.
Evie: It's okay Mal. We forgive you. We are just so happy for both of you that you two are finally together.
Jay: Hey Carlos, we need to leave right now because Practice is about ready to start.
Right before I left the Enchanted Lake to head off to Practice, I asked my new girlfriend Mal if she has any plans for tomorrow night because I really want to take her out on our first date.
Me: Hey, do you have any plans for tomorrow?
Mal: No, why do you ask?
Me: Because I want to take you out on our first real date.
Mal: Where do you plan on taking me for our very first real date?
Me: It's a surprise Princess. I want to take my girl to somewhere really special for our very first date. Anyways I need to start heading to Practice just stay here. I will meet you here at the Enchanted Lake after Practice I promise.
Then I kissed Mal on the cheek right before I left to go to Practice. Jay was already ahead of me so, I ran as fast as I can to catch up with Jay.
After Practice was over, I hanged out with Mal for the rest of the night until it was time to go to bed. We both head out back to our dorm rooms right before our curfew. I was holding Mal's hand when we walked back to my dorm room so we can play video games together before its time to go to bed. Dude was really happy to see me when I came back to my dorm room.
Dude: Hey Carlos, I'm so happy that you're back can you please scratch my butt?
Mal: Carlos, why did I just hear Dude talk?
Me: The truth is Dude accidentally ate a Truth Gummy that was meant for me luckily Evie made a couple so, I just ate another one. I was so nervous to tell you how I feel because I was afraid, I would say something wrong. So, I asked Evie if she could make a potion or cast a spell on me to make me less nervous to tell you that I really like you. Evie went through your spell book and made a Truth Gummy for me to eat. I really hope you aren't mad at me for using a Potion that Evie made to make me tell you how I really feel because I really like you Mal. I didn't know how to tell you how I really feel because I was scared that I would say something wrong. If it weren't for that Truth Gummy I probably would of never told you how I really feel.
Mal: I'm not mad at you Carlos. I'm actually glad that you told me the truth Carlos. Look, Pup I don't care if you have to eat a Truth Gummy in order to tell me how you really feel. I'm just glad that you just told me today that you have feelings for me because I really like you Carlos.
Me: I really like you too Mal. I always have had feelings for you.
Mal: Well I'm getting tired but, I really don't want to walk back to my room because I'm so tired.
Me: If you want to you can spend the night with you. I can give you something to wear to bed.
Mal: Are you sure it's okay if I spend the night with you especially since we just started dating?
Me: Yeah, I don't mind if you spend the night with me. It's the least I can do for you after all those years you let me spend the night at your house when I was having a nightmare and you would tried to comfort me by letting me sleep next to you in your bed.
Mal: Okay I will spend the night with you.
Mal's POV
Right before Carlos goes to bed, he hands me his Tourney Jersey for me to sleep in because I don't have a change of clothes with me right now. I go to the bathroom to go change for bed when I walked out of the bathroom Carlos is staring at me.
Carlos: Wow Mal, you look beautiful.
Me: Thank you anyways I'm getting tired let's go to bed.
Then both me and Carlos climbed into his bed. I lay down next to Carlos on his right side. Carlos rolled over facing his body at me and said to me.
Carlos: Mal, you are my Once Upon a Dream.
Me: Really?
Carlos: Yeah, I love you for who you are Mal. I love every single thing about you because to me you're the girl of my dreams. Anyways I'm getting tired sleep well Mal.
Then Carlos kissed me on the cheek before he fell in sleep in my arms.
