oxygen - carl gallagher story {𝓭𝓲𝓼𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓮𝓭}

diego says hey

this is high key inspired by another fanfiction where they crossed over diego into the 'shameless' world but I love him so much so imma take some hints. just let it be ❤

"That was so good" he says and I just laugh.

I just drift off to sleep in his arms, hearing his heartbeat against my back soothes me completely.

The next morning, I wake up with my legs entangled with Carl's. I stay still and feel his arms around my waist. He is utter perfection and I can't believe he's mine now. I sigh in content and smile lazily. This is the way I want to wake up every day of the rest of my life.

Suddenly, there is a knock at the front door, but the house is quiet. They knock again and I'm confused as to why no one has let them in. I roll over and unlock my phone.

6:23am

Welp, that explains it. But who the fuck is braying on the gallagher's door at this time in the morning. I groan as they knock again and throw on one of Carl's tops.

I feel the cold air hit my legs as I open the front door. It's a boy, around Carl's height wih tattoos all over his face. They look adorable, but he doesn't look more that 16.

"Damn ma" he says while grazing his teeth over his lips. He looks me up and down and I start to feel slightly uncomfortable. His eyes are red and he wobbles when he walks. Drunk and high.

"Who are you?" I ask, wondering why it took me so long.

"Diego, but you can call me daddy" he states deadpan, I roll my eyes and invite him in. I tell him to sit as I wake Carl up, I'm assuming he knows who he is.

Once I get upstairs, I sit on Carl, making him groan. His eyes stay closed but his hands go to my bare thighs. I gasp at the slight contact and get off him, grabbing his hand. "Come on sleepyhead, there is someone downstairs" I say and he just waves it off.

I pull him again, but he doesn't move. I know what will work. I get down to the level of his ear and whisper "he wants me, if you don't get up, he's gonna get me" his eyes shoot open and he sits up. I actually laugh so much I start shaking.

He rolls his eyes at me, but I still see a little flicker of anger. I just stand up and pull him downstairs with me. As soon as he sees the tattooed boy, he smiles widely.

"Diego, my man" he says and pulls him close. I go to sit on the sofa and watch the boys embrace.

Carl eventually pulls away and comes to sit by me. A hint of sadness runs through Diego's eyes as he sees Carl's hand on my thigh. Even though I've only just met him, I know he makes Carl happy and his visit gives me time to get everything ready. I stand to leave and see both of their eyes go on me, I shake my ass slightly for Carl and he laughs.

I run up the stairs, taking two at a time. I knock heavily on Debbie's door and stand bouncing impatiently. She opens the door with blurry eyes and starts cursing me when she sees my face. I walk past her and sit on her bed.

"Who's Diego?" I ask nearly immediately. Her eyes widen and points downstairs questioningly. I nod and she tuts. "He's from when Carl was dealing. Used to be a client, now they're just friends. He's a rapper, kinda." she explains and I nod.

"Wait, you said he's a rapper? Is he good?" I ask, taking an interest in the boy beneath us.

She shrugs "I guess, some songs are really good, but some are shit. I used to think he was cute, but he's 107% a fuckboy." I just laugh and nod (AGAINN)

"So, why do you think he's here?" I ask, slightly worrying. She shakes her head and tries to get back into bed. I take the hint and leave her to sleep. I walk into Carl's room, our room, and pick out some clothes for the day. We have no plans so no makeup, I'm living for it.

After about 30 minutes of leaving the boys, I walk towards the kitchen for breakfast. It's barely 7am and I'm actually starving. I check the cupboards and decide to just have some coffee.

I watch the boys conversing and catch Carl's eye. He gestures for me to go towards him, I comply. When I get to him, he opens his arms wide so I sit on his lap. Multiple flickers of emotion flit across Diego's eyes; sadness, jealousy, anger.

"Y/N, meet Diego. Diego, meet my girl, Y/N" Carl speaks and my stomach flutters. I smile, already knowing his name, and put my hand out for him to shake. "Hey" I say and he laughs.

"Didn't you get an adorable one?" he jokes but Carl tenses slightly when Diego shakes my hand.

I grab Carl's hand and he relaxes ever so slightly...
