"we need to talk" was the first thing daniel heard when he opened his eyes in the morning. he's met with carlos' deep chocolate brown puppy eyes, but they didn't seem as warm as usual.
"about what?" daniel muttered, his voice still thick and deep with sleep.
"about this. about us."
"us?"
"yes," carlos started slowly. "with you coming to my room as often as you do, there is an us."
"i guess there is, but i thought it was just supposed to be sex, no feelings? do you have feelings for me, carlos?"
"i'm not saying that. i'm just saying, that when people spend as much time together as we do, there is a connection, whether that be with feeling or not."
"so you don't have feelings for me? you don't like me?" daniel sounded like he was on the verge of crying.
"i thought you said i wasn't supposed to like you like that?"
"but what if i want you to like me like that? you know i'm not fucking other people, right?" daniel asked, and carlos nodded. even though their relationship was just about sex, daniel wasn't sleeping with others, neither was carlos.
"we agreed on sex, no feelings, no nothing. it was you who came up with the rules about not fucking others, not me," carlos said, anger present in his voice. he was sick of daniel's rules, he wanted freedom. he wanted to sleep with other people. he felt prisoned in this relationship with daniel, even though they weren't even together like that.
"then i broke our agreement," daniels said, looking anywhere but at carlos. "i caught feelings."
"you can't even follow your own rules?" carlos was furious, he stood up and walked away form the bed, where daniel still was.
"apparently not." daniel's voice was weak and low, almost a whisper.
"i can't believe you." carlos picked up his clothes and started walking towards the door.
"don't leave. please, don't leave" daniel begged, but carlos doesn't turn around to look at him. he just opens the door and walks away, finally feeling free from daniel.
