Tw//sh/suicide mentions

Tk came home later that night from an meeting to see Carlos in the kitchen making dinner
"Hey how'd your meeting go ?" Carlos asked turning off the stove " good ." Tk said as Carlos came and wrapped his arms around Tk's waist " you sure ?" Carlos asked " yeah do you remember that guy cooper I told you about ." Tk said " yeah what's up ?" Carlos said

" I asked him to be my sponsor tonight ." Tk said leaning his head back to look at Carlos " I didn't know you were in the market ." Carlos said walking back into the kitchen " I wasn't I just - I had one back in New York and when I moved here I never got a new one ." Tk said leaning against the counter

" your mad ." Tk said watching Carlos " no -I'm happy for you ." Carlos said giving Tk a smile

Carlos didn't mind that tk had a sponsor or that it was a guy even but it made him feel as if he wasn't good enough for tk to confide in and his feelings got stronger and stronger as the days went on

Carlos leaned over that night in bed like usual half asleep reaching for tk but instead his palm was met with the mattress and the faint sound

Of tk talking on the phone Carlos pulled himself out of bed seeing tk was sitting on the couch with his blanket over his legs "thanks coop ." Tk said a small smile appearing in the corner of his face the muffled sounds on the other end of the phone Carlos just walked back to bed pulling the blankets over his head

A few days later Carlos was in the kitchen getting a drink when tk came out of the bedroom with his coat " did you want me to take you ?" Carlos smiled at tk "thanks babe but coopers coming to pick me up he was out our way anyway so he just said he'd pick me up ." Tk said "coopers coming here ?" Carlos said nervously "yeah why ?" Tk said rubbing Carlos's shoulder as a knock appeared on the door 'yo must be Carlos ." Cooper smiled as he walked into the loft " right sorry hi ." Carlos said snapping out of his own head " tk talks about you a lot I feel like I already know you." Cooper smiled but before Carlos could say anything " there he is ready to go ?" Cooper asked " yeah one sec ." Tk said " you okay ?" Tk asked " hm ?" Carlos said taking his eyes off cooper " yeah fine ." Carlos said " love you ." Tk said giving Carlos a kiss " love you ." Carlos said

Later that night "hey baby" Carlos said as tk came over placing a kiss on the top of Carlos's head " I don't really feel like cooking tonight did you wanna order in ?" Carlos said watching as tk went to the fridge " I'm not hungry but you can .." tk said closing the fridge "you okay ?" Carlos said taking hold of Tk's hand " yeah fine just gonna go lay down ." Tk said

Carlos came in later that night seeing tk laying in bed with his AirPods in carlos laid on the bed next to tk taking out of of his AirPods putting it in his own ear Tk turned his face to the side to see carlos looking at him carlos didn't say anything just ran his fingers through Tk's hair

The next day tk was in the living room on the couch " your meeting a in half and hour thought you would be getting ready ?" Carlos said from the kitchen " I'm gonna blow it off ." Tk said coming to the kitchen " your blowing it off ?" Carlos said kinda surprised "I don't feel like I need to go ." Tk said " but even when you don't need one you go ." Carlos said " I'm just not feeling it rather spend time with you ." Tk said " are you sure do you need to call cooper ?" Carlos asked " he's not my sponsor anymore ." Tk said " that's - why ?" Carlos said taking a double take " you can say it I know your relieved ." Tk said " I know how uncomfortable he made you ." Tk said sitting back on the couch pulling a blanket over his legs " tk thats not a reason -." Carlos said " It is for me the last thing I wanna do is make you uncomfortable ill be fine without a sponsor but I need you ." Tk said rubbing Carlos's leg

A few days later Carlos got a message from Nancy

Had a rough call think you could stop by worried about tk .

Carlos arrived seeing Nancy against the ambulance " what happened ?" Carlos asked " suicide call girl slit her wrist ." Nancy said
Carlos went to the bunk room " guessing Nancy called you ?" Tk said putting his bag on the ground " she did but you should've ." Carlos said sitting on Tk's bed "she was only 16 she took a bunch of pills and slit her wrist .." tk said picking at his fingers "hey look at me ." Carlos said " you guys did everything you could ." Carlos said " maybe I'm not made for this -." Tk said as the bell went off " I love you ." Tk said getting up kissing Carlos's head " ill see you at home .'' Tk said rubbing Carlos's arm

Later that night Carlos stood in the kitchen across from cooper " I owe you a big apology .." Carlos said " Tk didn't want you to be his sponsor anymore because of me .. I was insecure and jealous it was stupid but tk picked up on it and being tk he wanted to fix it .." Carlos said " you don't owe me anything neither of you guys do ." Cooper said " when tk was opening up to you about problems he was having it was making me insecure because I felt that he didn't feel safe enough to tell me and I realize now that he just needed someone who has been through whaat he has ." Carlos said "I'm really protective over tk and I just want him to be okay ." Carlos said " where's tk now ?" Cooper asked " he's on his way back from work That's kinda the other thing I wanted to talk to you about ." Carlos said " there was a call today he was really upset by he hasn't been eating either .." Carlos said " ill talk to him ." Cooper said

Tk came through the door of the loft "baby you here ?" Tk said putting his stuff in the closet " he went out he said he would be back in a little ." Cooper said " cooper ?" Tk said confused " Carlos said you needed a bud .." cooper said with a soft smile " he called you ?" Tk asked " he cares about you a lot .' Cooper said with a smile

When Carlos came back home cooper had left and tk was leaning on the counter in the kitchen " thank you ." Tk smiled before hugging Carlos "I thought you weren't comfortable with him ?" Tk said looking up at Carlos " I might have done a background check ." Carlos said " dork ." Tk smiled " grand designs ?" Tk asked " I have other plans for you ." Carlos smiled pulling tk in for a kiss

Carlos led tk to the bedroom the pressure of Carlos's palm is on his jaw Tk's hands travel underneath Carlos's shirt as they kiss until they separate by Carlos pushing tk on the bed carlos removes his own shirt as tk does the same just in time for carlos to climb on top of tk so their desperate lips could join " your so putting that in the hamper later ." Carlos teased " come back here and kiss me ." Tk said carlos kisses him slowly making sure to savor every moment his hands locked on Tk's hips tk can feel how hard Carlos is under his sweatpants paying no mind to his own cock which is aching being trapped inside his jeans

Carlos presses tk into the mattress firmly Carlos huffs a little laugh tk cant help but smile Tk's hand sneaks between then running his fingers over Carlos's chest leaving little red scratch marks carlos take a second to look at tk " yeah ?" Carlos asks for permission tk just smiles and nods his head

Carlos loved these moments so simple but so meaningful he wants it to last for ever but it can't simply because the world has more challenges to throw their way nothing good ever last not for long at least
