A NEWS Love {Carl Azuz x Reader}

（╯°□°）╯︵ ( ͜。 ͡ʖ ͜。)

You and Carl had gotten to be pretty good friends. Sometimes on CNN 10, he'd greet you.

"And that's the riverBEND of today's news! Hope to SEA you next time on SEA-NN 10! Go to our website for OTTER news! Talk to you later, (Y/n)." He whispered the last part and smiled. He'd been doing much better since he met you. He rarely thought about his ex-wife anymore. And when he did, you'd always be there to cheer him up.

One day, he did something that surprised you.

Hey, Carl

Hello, (Y/n).
How was your day?

Great! I practiced beekeeping with one of my friends!

Cool! How was it?

It sounded scary, but his family is full of professional beekeepers, so it was really fun!

His?

Um...yeah lol
What, did you think I only talk to females?

No, but...
Just don't hang out with him anymore.

What?! Why?! I can't do that! He's my best friend!
Wait...
Are you jealous?

No

His response was immediate. It was suspicious.

Don't be jealous. I'm not a creep. He's 14 and I'm 20. I'm not into younger guys LOL

Ok...
I'm not jealous though

You seemed to not care after I revealed I'm not into him

No response. Your face was burning. Was Carl in love with you as well? Suddenly, there was a knock at your door. You went downstairs and opened the door to see Alex, the boy you had just been talking about. He seemed nervous and was fidgeting and looking down at the ground.

"C-Can I come in? I have to talk to you about something." You nodded and let him in.

Time skip

After preparing pierogi for the two of you to eat, you sat down on the couch with him, setting the pierogi plate onto the nearby coffee table.

"So what was it you needed to talk to me about?" His face suddenly turned red and he closed his eyes.

"I-I LIKE YOU!"
