everyone seemed to be getting on carlos' nerves today. he was like a ticking bomb just waiting to explode.

first, camilo drenched him in water, as a prank, leaving him with a wet ruana. it was his favorite one too. and since he didn't have any left, he was left in his simple button up. he made a note to himself to do his laundry.

second, while helping some townsfolk they complained that he was 'doing it wrong'. whatever that means. so carlos kept going on until they were satisfied. he ended up feeling sore all around his body.

three, antonio's animals had gotten out of control. they ended up running around his room, messing up his stuff. of course his little brother apologized and carlos would never be mad at him. but he was upset that he had to clean it up himself.

four, abuela was scolding him for slacking off. he really wasn't, he was busy all day. but if she sees him with his eyes closed just for a second, she gets mad. plus it was obvious she favored camilo over him.

carlos just wanted to relax and have some alone time, away from everything else in the world. he closes his eyes as he laid back on his bed. just as he was about to fall into slumber he heard a knock on his door. carlos opened his eyes, brows furrowed angrily. i can never take a damn break can i? he mentally rolled his eyes.

carlos sighed as he got up from his bed. he opened the door to see his lovely partner grinning up at him.

"heyy, i missed you," y/n pouted slightly. "sorry i didn't come to see you at all today, i was busy."

carlos sighed. he could never be mad at them but he was extremely exhausted. "look, y/n, i'm really not in the mood right now," he said gently.

"querido, i need you," they whined for his attention. "i came all the way here for you."

"i'm really tired, can we not..." he yawned as he walked back into his room, y/n following him close by. he turns around to look at them. "y/n please."

y/n couldn't seem to get it, "but-"

"no."

"carlos-"

he grew angry, "y/n, i said no!"

y/n flinched at his tone. carlos seethed, "can't you see that i'm fucking tired?! you're so needy it's actually annoying!"

they took a step back from him as he continued, "i kept telling you no but you just kept pushing and pushing! it's exhausting. you're exhausting."

y/n frowned, staring back at him as they tried not to lose it.

carlos sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose, "y/n, wait i'm sorry i-"

y/n shook their head, smiling at him, "no, it's fine i get it. i'll leave you alone now."

they turned on their heel, walking out of the room. they wiped a tear that fell from their eye as they ran out of casita.

carlos watched them go with a frown on his face. he felt bad. he didn't mean to say those words to them, he was just stressed out.

"fuck," carlos mumbled, staring at his feet. "stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!" he smacks his face lightly as he sat back down on his bed.

camilo barged into the room, "why did i just see y/n run away crying?"

he looked up at his twin and sighed, not giving him an answer.

"carlos, what did you do?" the yellow wearing boy crossed his arms, concerned about his friend.

carlos frowned, "i yelled at them."

camilo scowled and stormed towards him. he smacks him in the head, "idiota! you know how sensitive they are!"

"i know, i know!" carlos exclaimed, pushing camilo's hands away before he can hit him more. "i didn't mean to, it just came out!"

he then sighed, pushing his hair back a bit, "fuck, dude, what do i do?"

"apologize, dumbass," camilo deadpanned.

"oh, right."

carlos stood in front of y/n's bedroom door. he contemplated about what he was gonna say. he raised his hand up hesitantly before knocking on the door.

"yeah?" he heard y/n's muffled voice. they must've been under the covers.

"mi amor... it's me," carlos said, fiddling with his fingers.

it was silent for a bit. carlos could hear the blankets shuffling then y/n's soft footsteps. the door unlocks and opens to a sad looking y/n.

carlos was disheartened by the sight, "oh.. mi amor, come here." he pulled y/n in for a hug and they returned it gratefully. they had their head nestled into his chest as he rubbed their back assuringly.

"it's okay," carlos whispered.

y/n sniffled, pulling their head up to look up at him, "are you still mad at me?"

he shook his head. "i'd never be mad at you, mi amor," carlos said softly. "i'm sorry, i never should've yelled at you."

they pulled away from his arms, "then why did you?"

"i was just stressed, i had a bad day, and i ended up letting it all out on you," the boy sighed. he then grabs their hands. "i really shouldn't have, i should've been more careful. i'm sorry, mi amor."

y/n still had a frown on their face, "well.. i'm sorry too, i shouldn't have pushed your buttons."

"it's okay," carlos shrugged. "but next time i'm upset, i'll tell you so this won't happen again."

"are you sure?" they asked.

"i promise," he nodded. "i hate to see you cry and i hate it even more when it's because of me."

y/n smiled and wiped their tears away, "te quiero, carlos."

"te quiero más, mi àngel," carlos smiled back. "now, um, do you want to cuddle?"

"hell yeah!"
