the day started ordinary, boys walking by. it was the same old story, too fresh or too shy

Carlos De Vil wasn't one to shy away from a shag, but the boys on the Isle were all the same old story just with a different face. Carlos decided to take a break from all the flirting and teasing and focus on other things. Carlos has only ever 'gone the distance' with Harry Hook, he almost went all the way with Jay but that's a different story. the De Vil boy wanted to see the world, but he was trapped on the Isle so his dreams were just dreams. Until one day they weren't.

Maleficent had walked up to them as Mal had finished taking candy from a baby. She gave them the news about being chosen to go to Auradon and attend school there. The four weren't afraid to show their disgust, but Carlos was only faking it. He was going to go see the world, he was going to meet new people. More importantly, he was going to meet new boys. New boys equaled new challenges. Carlos wasn't looking for a relationship, just someone to have when he wanted some action.

I'm not the kind to fall for a guy, who flashes a smile. don't usually swoon, but I'm over the moon

Carlos knew better than to fall for a guy, all they're good for was running their mouths. Even then they sucked at that. The only time he almost caught feelings for someone was with Jay, but can you blame him? The boy was perfect in every way possible. Carlos knew better though, they were best friends and he wasn't going to ruin that. He didn't want to make things awkward for the group.

So when Carlos first laid eyes on Ben, like in person, he knew he had to have him. Ben would be a tough catch but oh was Carlos ready for the hunt.

However, when Ben shook Carlos' hand and licked the chocolate that Carlos got on him... That smile he flashed was enough to make the boys' knees weak. This was different than when he liked Jay, but he pushed it aside. They were on a mission and Carlos wasn't going to let his desire to be with Ben get in the way. But how could he when he saw the boy everywhere?

and now i'm falling for ya, falling for ya. i know i shouldn't but i-i just can't stop myself

They failed at stealing the wand the first night so they had to occupy themselves while they waited for the next move. Jay involved himself in sports, Evie continued to be a fashion icon and Mal was still nose deep into her mother's spellbook. Carlos tried sports but he wasn't as good as Jay, so what did Ben do? He offered to give him private lessons. Oh boy.

It was during their practice that Carlos realized Ben could be more than just a quick shag. He was caring, polite, he had a big heart. He was worth being in a relationship.

"Okay now we should go over the tackling portion, first you're going to have to get used to it so I'll tackle you first. Then you'll tackle me. Lastly, you'll have to avoid being tackled. Okay just stand there, don't be afraid." Carlos did as Ben told him to and he waited. Maybe he should've paid attention to what Ben was doing instead of daydreaming. He could've gotten himself ready to be tackled down, maybe it wouldn't hurt as much as it did.

Ben was on top of Carlos, admiring his face. It's not every day you get to tackle a boy like him. Ben liked Carlos' freckle covered face, how his eyes sparkled when the sun hit his face. How his cheeks got rosy when he was embarrassed. The boy was breathtaking.

Carlos was about to groan in pain but stopped himself as he looked into Ben's eyes, it was something he enjoyed doing. Whenever Ben had a conversation with Carlos they just stared deep into each other's eyes. Quite romantic.
