country fire

Somewhere in My Car **Tarlos**

Carlos was just about to get off of work. He could here the rain pouring down from the dark and gloomy skies from the locker room were he was getting his stuff to go home. as he was putting his stuff in his locker he turned to the door to see a picture of Tk. 

He was in a pair of sweats and his yellow hoodie. he was on Carlos's back his arms wrapped around the older mans neck. both of them smiling brightly at each other. Carlos smiles at the fond memories of that day with his beautiful boyfriend. Carlos moves his hand to run it a crossed his boyfriends face as he smiles. just the thought of tk made him smile.

Carlos walked outside to his dark blue Camaro. he ran a finger down the side of it  and walked to the hood he ran a finger over the spot where Tk had scratched his initials into it. Carlos never complain. he loved the thought that his boyfriend would be there with him no matter how far away he went. 

when He finally got into the car and started to drive home all he was getting was red lights. Carlos was fine with it though. he didn't want to have to go home and be alone again. like he has to be every night for the last month and a half. just then Tk's favorite song came on the radio and carlos had no choice but to turn it up. he remembers all the times that tk would sing it at the top of his lungs wile they were going for drives to there secret spot. 

Carlos parked his car outside of his house and walked to the door. when he got inside it was cool and dark. he went strait upstairs to his room not even thinking about getting food. he hasn't been hungry in the last three days really.

when he gets into his room the first thing that he sees is the pictures of him and tk that he has taped all over his walls. he walks up and down the wall to look at all of the closely. he finds himself stopped when he gets to his favorite one. Tk was sitting on the hood of Carlos's car the night of the solar flairs. his hair in a mess from where he had been laying down before. Carlos smiled as he felt the tears start to dwell in his eyes. he slept in till noon the next day.

he woke up carrying the next day. pushed back the tears and went downstairs to the kitchen so he could get a beer. here lately he's been drinking a lot. but after what had happened anyone would be drinking. even captain strand was drinking a lot. he was also working a lot harder too. Carlos downed the beer in a new recorded time as he ran back upstairs to get changed out of his Austin Police uniform and into jeans and his red t-shirt. he grabbed his denim jacket just incase it got cold. 

after he was changed and into close that were a little more comfortable for him he walked over to his wall and pulled off one of the pictures the stood out to him. A picture of Tk holding Carlos's little sister on his back. a face splitting smile on his face. Carlos remembers that day like It was yesterday. 

~~FLASHBACK~~

tk and carlos were on there way to a small town just outside of Austin. they were going to go see Carlos's family. and they were all going to meet tk for the first time. Tk was exited to meet Carlos's mom.

when they got there tk was so happy to meet everyone. they were having a big family picnic in the back yard and there was a tree legged race and Tk had volunteered the couple to participate. when they took off running carlos slipped and fell in the mud only to make tk laugh and not be able to finish the race. 

when it was time to eat the radio was playing the country station that almost everyone in Austin liked to listen to, Biggie 100.5. when it was time to get the food Carlo's littlest sister came over to sit on a blanket with the couple. Lexie was only 11. 

a slow song came on and carlos was quick to get up and ask to dance. they danced through the slow song until an upbeat song came on Lexie sprayed him with a water gun. when she wasn't looking tk dumped a big cup of water on her. she jumped up on his back and kissed him on the cheek.

"I love you Tk. your the best big brother ever" she said as she hugged him tighter.

"ok number one he's mine so back of Lex. and two im just gonna act like im not offended. let me get a picture of you two" carlos said pouting putting his hand over his heart and taking out his phone.

~~~END FLASHBACK~~ 

Carlos pulled into the spot that he was driving to reach. the same exact spot were tk and himself watched the lights the night of the solar flairs. he cut the engine and grabbed his picture from where it was on the dashboard.

there were more lights again today. you could see them because of a big power outage over the Austin area. carlos got out of the car and walked around it to lay on the hood. he taped the picture to the hood beside him.

he sat up and looked at the picture. he remembers the day that he and tk drove up here to watch the lights and ended up having a heated make out. tk ripping off Carlos's shirt locking there lips. it felt so good to be with him. feeling tks fingers run down his back.

carlos untucks his neckless from under his shirt to hold it. he runs his fingers over the picture. and then he looks up at the sky.

"I wish you could see them ty there beautiful" he said meaning the lights. "I love you so much" he said looking down at his neckless and then back up to sky. carlos would give anything to have him back. but he wasn't coming back.

carlos would never forget the day that tk died in that fire. he will always remember everything about him. his eyes. his laugh. his smile. he'd remember every memory. the day they met. the day they made 'them' official. everything. but he will especially remember the day that the fire started and the call came in.

tk was a hero. he saved lives that day. that's all he ever wanted to do. and carlos was so thankful to have had someone like Tyler Kennedy Strand by his side wile he did.
