Tarlos One shots

My tears ricochet

Prompt - Carlos tries To stay strong for Tk while a death sentence hangs over their heads

Huntington's Disease

Just a few weeks before their wedding another curveball had been thrown their way and this time Carlos wasn't so sure they would make out of it -

When he came home he saw Tk sitting on the couch which was odd because it was quite late and this was the same person who could barely stay up past 10:30 on his days

Tk assured him that he was fine and with that, Carlos went to the fridge to get a drink leaving tk to ponder

"I was waiting up -" Tk broke the silence his previous lie assuring Carlos that he was fine vanished into the air

Carlos made his way to the couch when Tk broke the news

Huntington's Disease

Tk could have Huntington's Disease.

Carlos could see the fear in Tk's eyes it because more apparent when Tk broke into tears when he mentioned that he might not even remember Carlos as the disease progresses

Carlos did what he had to do to ease Tk's mind for now Tk fell into Carlos's arms where he stayed for a while now they were in bed together Tk comfortably in Carlos's lap snoring softly his eyes still red and puffy from crying

Now with Tk asleep peacefully for now Carlos's guard is let down the tears filling his eyes

He reminds himself that Tk could still be negative - they would have to wait for Owens's results to come back - Carlos tried his best to believe that the odds were on Tk's side

That their future together wouldn't end before it even started he wishes they could just leave and go somewhere where the universe couldn't hurt them - where the universe couldn't hurt Tk.

Tk stirs before rolling to the opposite of Carlos Carlos knew the at there was a good chance of Tk waking up soon but Carlos wasn't going Tk risk breaking down and waking him up himself he got out of bed before tucking the covers around Tk

He wishes he could protect Tk from all the monsters -

He's been through so much-

there's so much pain Tk had endured that had such an effect on him

There was so much pain under the surface that not even Carlos knew about - so much that Carlos couldn't protect him from no matter how much he tried

He makes his way to the kitchen he feels like his heart going to come out of his chest -

He slips on shoes before heading out of the loft - he needed air the cold winter chill hits him as soon as he steps out of the complex his hot breath freezing in the air

His chest pounds he sits on the bench rubbing his palms against his thighs he couldn't protect Tk from Huntington's

"Baby .." Tk says grabbing Carlos's attention sure enough Tk stands in his PJs with his throw blanket wrapped around him

Carlos wipes his face he didn't want tk to see him like this - putting on a fake smile to turn and look at his sleepy fiancé. TK's hair is sticking up in all directions "What are you doing out here?" Tk says making his way to the bench "Just needed some air sorry -" Carlos said a soft but sad chuckle escaping shortly after Tk takes his throw blanket off his shoulders wrapping it around Carlos

"No, you need it ." Carlos says softly looking at Tk " I've got a sweatshirt you don't ." Tk says "I don't want you to catch a cold." Tk says stroking Carlos's face both of them know Tk will end up catching his 4th cold this winter after this but Tk doesn't care

Carlos shakes his head and doesn't answer. TK doesn't push he knows better -

Instead, Tk turns to comforting yet familiar gestures running his hands through Carlos's hair - rubbing his arm

"My job is to protect you and - with this stupid disease I can't do that .." Carlos admits There's a comfortable silence between the two for a while

"Your job not to protect me, Carlos ." Tk admits "Your job is to love me .." Tk says

"Your job is to let me see you - let me love you ."

"Your job is to let your guard down with me ."

"I'm not going to hurt you Carlos - and I don't want you to put on a fake smile for me .." Tk says licking His lips

"You were so upset - I didn't want to burden you with my problems," Carlos admits releasing another sob Tk pulling him into his chest

"I love you so much you know that," Tk whispers as he places a kiss on Tk's hair

"You make life worth living," Tk whispers

"We are gonna figure it out," Carlos says

The anxiety courses through both of their body's for the days to come as they wait for the call from Owen to determine their future

When the call finally comes and it's finally confirmed that Owen is free from the gene and that Tk is to weight is lifted from both of their shoulders Tk sits on the edge of the table

Carlos cups Tk's neck " thank god ." Carlos mutters as Tk pulls him in for a kiss

"You're a miracle Tk strand," Carlos whispers their foreheads touching

Carlos lifts him off the table gently " My miracle ." Carlos says as Tk gently laughs

"My soulmate," Carlos says lowering Tk back to the ground

Their bodies are already so close the moment between them is tender but Carlos needed to be closer to Tk

"I need you ." Carlos says " I'm yours, baby .. forever ." Tk says he pulls Tk into the bedroom all of their clothes landing on the floor almost immediately he pushes Tk gently onto the bed to move back on his arms Carlos leaves a trail of kisses along tks stomach before stopping "You okay?" Tk asks softly his hands in Carlos's curls

"Yeah... I'm just really happy... I'm grateful I get to spend the rest of my life loving you showing you that you deserve the world ." Carlos says

"I love you," Tk whispers

You're so beautiful I can't believe you're mine," Carlos says as he works tk open

He takes his time making sure to take care of tks needs listening to all of the beautiful sounds that we're coming out of Tk

"Baby please -," Tk said gripping Carlos's shoulder and guiding his cock to TK's hole. As he pushes himself in,
he leans down and presses a soft kiss to TK's lips. Words coming out of both of their mouths but too quiet to make out

They were together
They were safe
Everything was perfect

What did y'all think be honest any improvements I need to make
