Hidden Truths

Chapter Thirteen ~ Stop

"How was your sleep?" Javier asked Daniel from across the table. Santiago was dozing off while eating fruit.

"Santi, you get any sleep man?" Rafael asked from his spot beside Carlos, who was on his right. Santiago nearly face planted in his food before answering.

"Ask Carlos," he trailed off for a second, "my legs are sore, the stairs didn't help, and don't ever jump on me again," this time he actually did fall asleep. He rested his head on his arms and dozed off at the breakfast table.

"What happened—"

"They came into my room and Carlos jumped on Santi, he was half naked. But I was in the middle of a dream and it was annoying," Alejandro explained after overhearing their convo.

"I'm still confused," Ecuador shook his head, wondering what they would've been doing in Al's room.

"I've got this," Carlos said, but at that Santiago's head sprung up, and he shook his head vigorously.

"Dios mio, Carlos you're not retelling that," he told the other boy, he didn't want people thinking their game was more than it was, and since Carlos was bad at explaining, that was probably what they were gonna think.

"Tell us!" a voice from the breakfast table rang, they now had everyone's attention. Santiago groaned and put his head back down.

"You know what? I've got nothing to lose, go ahead amor, knock yourself out."

Then Carlos leaned down to whisper something in his ear before telling the others, "you're gonna blush amor, and they're gonna be uncomfortable~" so Carlos was trying to make this sound bad huh? Santiago just groaned again and mumbled.

"Can't wait," before trying to sleep again.

"Okay, so, we've been doing this for what?"

"75, I told you last night."

"Right, yea, so normally it's when you all are sleeping, but since we have our own rooms now, ya know," he paused for a second, and then continued, "so Santi probably didn't think I was coming this time because of the Al thing, but whatever right. Anyways, I come in and he's like half naked—"

"Too detailed Carlos..." Santiago mumbled.

"Shhh, and so he tries to go to bed but obviously that's not gonna happen. I take his blanket. Boy that blanket is dirty. I mean it's usually on the floor, since that's where he ends up."

"Ca—"

"It gets dragged up the stairs sometimes too. So I get pinned twice, but Sant here's bad at planning things, so I'm always pinned against a door. I enter the room obviously and use the wall to my advantage, so I can pin him down this time, and then I throw him onto this couch Al has in his room, he screams and wakes Al up, then I jump on him."

"That's not all," Alejandro pressed, he was curious now.

"Okay fine, then when we went back down, we went to my room. That's where all the fun things happen right Santi~?"

The boy blushed. His pulled his face up and regretted doing so once he saw the look on everyone's face.

"You win," he frowned then got up to leave. "If you broke something you're paying the doctor," he added, meaning that if Carlos broke his hip from jumping onto him, he'd be paying, not him.

"Oh I never break anything amor, you should know that by now," he didn't mean for everyone to hear that, but they did...and now everyone assumed they were a thing

It's 12 o'clock and I'm writing this. Help.

"That's not weird at all," Maria whispered to Phara, they laughed a bit and thought about how life might be different with Carlos and Santiago together.
