Redcrackle Oneshots | Carmen Sandiego

💝Headcanons💝

So some of these are mostly my own but I also borrowed bits from the tumblr user @lostbbygorl (lmaoo 365 reference)! Hope you guys enjoy :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- It took a couple years, but eventually Carmen & Gray reconnected with one another after parting ways in S4.

- They begin talking and befriend one another again, and everything is going great for a while. As they reform their relationship, their feelings for one another return. They both realize that they never actually went away.

- Carmen invites Gray to visit her in Argentina with her mother and he happily agrees. When he arrives, Carlotta mistakes him as Carmen's boyfriend, to which they both laugh and correct her.

- Carlotta really likes Gray and warms up to him very fast. He's a very engaging person and she likes how charming he can be. She can tell he means a lot to Carmen and presses her to take him up on his offer to visit him in Sydney.

- With her mother's advice, Carmen goes to see him in Australia, and it's crazy how wonderful things are going. A couple of nights later, though, Carmen has a nightmare from her time and VILE, and she wants to go home. Gray who was awake for the same reason, though, overhears and is there to comfort her. He holds her till she stops shaking and ends up falling asleep with her.

- The truth was, Carmen was having trouble sleeping because of her nightmares. Tonight is the first night she sleeps peacefully for a long time.

- They take up a habit of sleeping with each other for the rest of the two weeks she's with him. They're just helping each other deal with nightmares, after all. It's totally platonic.

- When Carmen is about to return to Argentina, Gray realizes he isnt ready for her to leave again and tells her he loves her. Carmen hugs him back in tears and repeats his answer into his chest.

- Carmen decides to go bavk university, and wouldn't you know it, the university of Sydney has a great psych & anthropology program.

- When Gray hears that she's extending her stay in Sydney, he is elated! Now they can reset their relationship and try again in their own terms.

(And that's how the relationship starts!!) here's how some cute little head canons about their actual relationship:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Gray is a very sweet boyfriend. He will actively hype Carmen up, and he HATES when she feels insecure in any shape or form.

- PDA is generally just hand-holding, but Gray likes to press quick kisses to Carmen's cheek just to because he knows she likes it.

- He DEFINITELY is huge on nicknames, but pet names are usually reserved to baby. Carmen usually just calls him Gray or settles for babe.

- Gray looooooveessss cuddling on god. Most nights, he's the big spoon but if Carmen's hair is getting in his face, he's little spoon no question.

- All Carmen has to do to get him wrapped around her finger is to make him his favorite coffee and then play with his hair while giving him an innocent smile.

- When they first moved in with one another, it was a bit of an adjustment. Gray isn't super messy but he's not as particular about keeping things neat as Carmen is.

- Carmen is also very particular about people not touching her food and Gray has to learn the hard way that no one comes between her and her Empanadas.

- They also have to deal with the shower getting clogged by all of Carmen's hair, lol.

- One of Gray's favorite things to do while Carmen is trying to get work done is to lie his head on her lap & whisper sweet things to distract her.
