I saw you! II Charlos (P2)

*Continuation of Truth or Dare (RQ) 

_____

You hated to admit it but ever since Carlos had admitted his feelings for you that night in Alex's apartment things had been...different. Carlos and Charles's relationship certainly wasn't the same and you weren't the only one who picked up on that, the fans realized the brotherly spark in their relationship had disappeared. It was now forceful and awkward despite their efforts to forget. 

Things between Carlos and you had been weird too. You missed your best friend, you missed having someone to rant to about the absolute stupidest things, or to excitedly tell about when small not that big of a deal things happened to you felt that you couldn't do that with Carlos anymore. It wasn't because Carlos had stopped being there for you, in fact, you could tell he put so much effort into trying to make things go back to normal but all these things, all these little stupidities, and excitements tended to be about Charles and you didn't want to make him uncomfortable. 

And then there was a whole other part of it. Which was the fact that things between Charles and you had changed as well. It didn't matter that on that night you had chosen Charles, that you had been cornered into making a choice you didn't want to and weren't actually ready to. The first few days Charles and you were normal, or at least you both pretended like they were until everyone had to get back to work. 

Even though he tried to hide it you could tell Charles got uncomfortable now every time you hung out with Carlos on your own something that before he wouldn't bat an eye at, and you didn't want to say anything about it because things were different and you couldn't deny it. You also noticed he became often annoyed when you came home late or he came to find you and Carlos hanging out. 

There were now big trust issues in your relationship. And then one day he finally decided to ask you about it, again. 

"y/n is there something going on between you and Carlos?" He asked you one night, you were sitting up on the bed reading and he was laying beside you, you thought he'd gone to sleep. 

You set down your book taken aback by his question. "What are you talking about? No Charles, what made you think that?" You asked him. 

He sat up turning to face you. He took a deep sigh. "It's just I can't stop seeing it now, I mean before I thought it was so cute how much he cared for you, how much he protected you, that's why I was always so relaxed when you both hung out and I never cared." he started. "But it's different now y/n, he's in love with you and that's all I can see now, I see it in his eyes every time he looks at you, and that's all he thinks about when he's with you." 

"I hadn't seen it that way-" and it was true, if you put yourself in his shoes you'd be uncomfortable about the situation as well. "I'm just not sure what to do Charles, I don't want to hurt you...but I don't want to hurt him either, he's my best friend." you were honest with him too.

"Have your feelings for him changed?" He then asked you. 

A wave of fear and nervousness filled your body. You'd be lying if you said you hadn't thought about this question. In fact, this question had been running through your mind every day since that damn night. 'I don't know was all you wanted to say, because that was the truth, you didn't know and you'd be lying if you said yes, and you'd be lying if you said No. 

"No." You answered. You hated yourself, you didn't know why you said No. Your mouth acted on its own accords and as every second passed you felt a sense of guilt growing inside of you. 

He took a deep sigh before nodding. "I'm sorry." he wrapped his arm around you. "I'm sorry for doubting you. He pulled you down and you both got comfortable on the bed. He pulled you into him.
