Jay jogged around the track, trying to beat his other record. He turned the music louder and pushed himself harder. He's happy that Carlos told him that he loves him, but he still couldn't help the fact that Doug and Carlos was alone. They was alone and Jay has no idea what they spoke about.

The only thing that Jay knew, is that Carlos admitted that he only loves Jay. And Jay is okay with that.

He stopped once he saw Carlos running towards him. Jay for a moment found himself confused. Carlos yelled out Jay's name, over and over again then jumped on Jay. Jay screamed as he landed on the ground, wrapping his arms around Carlos. Carlos giggled as he smiled down at Jay.

"H-how did you know where I was?" Jay asked, still shock from seeing Carlos randomly running towards him.

"I used a special skill I have." Carlos said as he touched his nose.

"Please don't tell me that you don't have a tracker on me."

"I could. Actually that sounds like a good idea!"

"Carlos. No."

"Fine, whatever. I'll back burner that. But I used my dog nose to sniff you out, and I now know where that disgusting sweat smell comes from."

"Hey! I like to workout, so what? Everyone has their thing."

Carlos rolled his eyes but smiled. He rolled off Jay, but grabbed his hand. It's been one week since the concert and the two boys haven't stop being near each other. Carlos refused to be with Doug alone, scared that he wasn't really over him but he found himself having more fun with Jay. Carlos rolled on his side to look at Jay.

Sure, Jay doesn't like dogs and he doesn't like it when Carlos brings up his new ability thanks to Jane's mistake. Carlos could care less! Actually, that's a lie. Carlos does care. He cares a lot. Carlos, even as much he hates to admit this, he doesn't like it when Jay hates something that Carlos has. As much Carlos loves turning into a dog, he couldn't help but feel how Jay is uncomfortable with it.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Jay asked.

Carlos blink, he didn't realize that he's crying. He let go of Jay's hand to touch his face, wiping away the tears. Why is he crying? Carlos couldn't believe it, he's crying and it's for him? He's not happy about going to Jane and give up something he grow to love. He loves turning into a dog to talk to Dude, he love turning into a dog for curling up in his sheets, he loves just loves turning to a dog. But he's giving it up. 

All because he wants Jay to be happy. 

"Carlos? What happened?" Jay asked, completely worried.

"N-nothing." Carlos lied.

Jay frowned, "What do you nothing? It's something! Tell me, what's wrong?"

Carlos didn't say anything. He doesn't want Jay to feel bad. Carlos didn't want Jay to blame himself nor did he want him to think that Carlos is being petty. He isn't blaming Jay, Carlos feels as if he doesn't have enough good reason. But Carlos doesn't want to lose Jay, he just got him back. Losing Jay again, would just be torture. 

Jay leaned over to grab Carlos' hands but Carlos flinch. Jay opened his arms to hug Carlos. He didn't want to force Carlos to hug him. He knows that Carlos doesn't like that, from experiences on the Isle. Carlos looked Jay then tackled the brunette in a hug. They fell back but didn't let go of each other.

"What's wrong?" Jay asked, again.

"I don't wanna say." Carlos mumbled.

"How come? I just wanna know."

"You'll get mad at me, Jay."

"No I won't."

"Yes, you will. You'll think that I'm being petty also."

"Carlos, where do you think I would? I wouldn't."

Carlos didn't answer.

"Okay, I'll admit it. I'll get mad if you don't tell me. I mean most people would get mad if you don't tell them."

Still no answer.

"Carlos, I promise I won't get mad."

Still nothing.

"Whatever it is we'll get through it together. You know that right?"

Carlos didn't answer, instead he held onto Jay tighter. Jay gasped from the sudden grip but didn't let go of the blonde. Carlos closed his eyes tight, he wasn't sure if he should tell Jay. But he knew one thing, Jay would get mad if Carlos doesn't tell him soon enough. Heck, even Carlos would get mad if someone didn't tell him. 

"I don't want do this thing . . . but I feel as if I need to in order to make someone happy." Carlos finally said.

Jay eyes narrowed, "What is this thing?"

"Giving up something."

"Well, you should talk to the person. Try to give your side of the story."

Carlos shook his head.

"Why not?" Jay asked.

Carlos pulled apart to look at Jay. He wanted to look straight into the brunette's eyes. How is he going to tell Jay? Should he just blurt it out or try to lead up to it? Carlos is so confused on the matter, that he didn't realize Jay's worried face. 

"Carlos?" Jay asked as he poked the blondes side.

Carlos jumped and blink a couple of times, trying to get back in focus. Jay lightly grab Carlos' face, bringing them eye level. Their foreheads touch, instantly making all Carlos' nerves to fade away. Carlos held onto Jay's shirt and closed his eyes.

"Jay, why do you hate dogs?" Carlos asked.

"What?" Jay asked, taken back.

"I need to know why you hate dogs."

"I don't hate them. That's a strong word Carlos, I just have a very strong reason why I strongly dislike them."

"Why?"

Jay sighed, "I watch you live in fear on the Isle for years. Every little thing that your devil woman called mom, told you. I remember you being scared every time a dog barking or a small picture. Your mom made you so scared, she made you traumatize and I still remember the first time you met Dude. Ben told me, how he scared you so much that you ran away. I couldn't help but hate Dude, but now I guess . . . " 

"Guess what?" Carlos asked, confused on why Jay stopped talking.

"I guess, I see how much you care for Dude and I actually like the little mutt."

"Wait! Seriously?!" 

Jay nodded. 

Carlos chewed on his bottom lip, "What about me changing into a dog?"

"I'm not sure, how I feel about that." Jay mumbled.

Carlos nodded, he already knows what he has to do. He has to get rid of this ability he loves a lot for Jay. As long Jay is happy then Carlos will be. He knows that this will take time but it's for Jay. It's Jay, he kept repeating in his head.

But Carlos doesn't want to do it.
