Game/Goal

"My boyfriend is an athlete," Carlos will proudly tell anyone who will listen. He likes to tell them all about how he goes to every Tourney game to cheer on his sporty boyfriend, how he got MVP even in their first year at Auradon Prep, and how this last year he made the winning goal in the championship game.

This usually leads to people asking why he himself quit the Tourney team after his first season, seeing as he seems to like the game so much. This leads to Carlos laughing and informing them that he is definitely not sporty. He can run like the wind and dance like no one's business, but if you throw a ball at him he's more likely to duck than catch it.

And maybe he still goes to practices sometimes to secretly watch his boyfriend work out because when he's running and jumping he looks so beautiful that it actually hurts.

And maybe he goes on morning runs with him sometimes, despite the fact that he hates waking up early and hates exercise even more, just because it makes his boyfriend so happy.

And maybe he feels a little jealous every once in a while of how his boyfriend seems to be good at just about everything that matters and that because of Tourney girls are constantly flirting with his Jay.

But then Jay will run up to him after practice and ask him honestly what he thought of "that last play". The way his eyes sparkle with pride and adoration when Carlos gives compliments is enough to make everything okay.

But then Jay will stay up late to help him work on a project, even though they both know that Jay will be up early the next morning and hates doing anything academic. His dedication and fascination with things he would usually detest is enough to make everything okay.

But then Jay will be asked to make a speech at a benefit dinner and after thanking the team, and the coach, and anyone else he might have written in, he points at Carlos and thanks him because he wouldn't be here without him. And the way that everyone in that room knows just from the look they give each other that they are in love is enough to make everything so incredibly okay.

"My boyfriend is a scholar," Jay will proudly tell anyone who will listen. He likes to tell them all about how he goes to every chess match to cheer on his smart boyfriend, how he became robotics club president in their first year of coming to Auradon Prep, and how this last year he got straight A's, even in his advanced classes.
