Teach Me How To Love (boyxboy)

Chapter 8 (unedited)

"Hey Carlos!" Jay said as Carlos enter their shared room.
"Hi." Carlos said avoiding eye contact.
"How was your day?" Jay asked smiling at him.
"It was fine." Carlos said trying to end this conversation.
"That's good. What did you did?" Jay asked.
Why does he care so much? What does he want from me? There's no way that he's just being this nice for no reason..
"Jay, what do you want from me?" Carlos asked getting in defensive mode.
"What?" Jay asked confused.
"No one ever asks how my day is going, or what I did during that day, no one cares about me. Why are you pretending to? What do you want from me? Sex? Is that what you want? Is that why you made it seem like Chad used you when he didn't?! Reverse psychology! Well it's not going to work on me pal." Carlos ranted.
"What? Carlos, I wouldn't pretend to care about you if I didn't. Jesus, all I wanted to know is what you did today. And I don't want to have sex with you!" Jay said.
"Oh, so I'm just too ugly to fuck huh?!" Carlos asked literally trying to make an argument at this point.
"What?! No! Carlos, that's not what I meant! You're not ugly at all. You're gorgeous, beautiful. Mesmerizing. I–I. Fuck. Never mind. Just know that I would never use you." Jay said.
Carlos found himself blushing at Jay's statements.
Not because he cared about what Jay thought of him or anything, of course not. But because he never got any compliments on the Isle. Just insults. Even for doing the "right" thing.
"I hung out with Chad today." Carlos simply stated.
There was no need in hiding it form Jay.
He didn't care what Jay thought.
Or, that's at least what he told himself..
"Oh.." Jay replied sadly.
"Yup. He asked me on a date." Carlos added on.
He didn't really know why he kept talking, but he couldn't stop.
"And you said yes..?" Jay asked hoping Carlos would say no.
"Yea. But only as friends." Carlos said.
"Oh. Have fun." Jay said before turning on to face away from Carlos in his bed.
"Yeah– I will." Carlos said before laying down himself.
"Goodnight Carlos." Jay sighed.
"Hmm." Carlos hummed before drifting off to sleep.
