Tarlos One shots

My heart is torn to two

Prompt- what happens to Carlos when the plane ( episode 8 in season 3)when Tk  and Owens plane and crashes instead of making an emergency landing

Carlos felt horrible the night before he recalls the look on tks face as a 126 hang became tragic with one phone call

"It's my mom -" Tk breathed out "Tell her I said ." Carlos said happily handing Tk a mineral water that he did not take " She's - she's dead ." Tk said before his phone dropped to the floor the room went silent their friends watched

Carlos put the waters down before rushing to Tk's side

He sat Tk on the couch not a word came from Tk's mouth he was in shock "Take a breath ." Carlos said rubbing Tk's shoulders Tk's voice was shaky " I need to call my dad ." Tk said getting up he was on the verge of tears "Do you want me to do it ?" Carlos asked softly

"No, I uh —"Tk said with tears in his eyes "Sorry guys —" he said to the team before grabbing his phone and heading to the bedroom his tears falling as soon as he got away from the team

"Do you think he's gonna be okay ?" Nancy asked Carlos " I don't know—I'll keep you guys posted im sorry about tonight ." Carlos said as the team hugged him "Give Tk a hug for us ." Paul said

" yeah I will -" Carlos said on their way out Nancy stopped "Take care of him please," Nancy said before closing the door behind him

Carlos waited awhile just thinking of how he could best support Tk - he heard Tk on the phone with Owen he could tell Tk was crying

When he finally did come into the bedroom he saw Tk curled up in a fetal position on the bed
"Baby -" Carlos said softly crawling under the covers in bed he didn't even have to say anything else Tk rolled over and made himself comfortable on Carlos's chest Carlos felt a grip on his sweatshirt and then Tk just let go soft softs leaked onto his sweatshirt

Carlos wanted to say that everything would be okay but to be honest he wouldn't even believe himself if he said it so he knew tk wouldnt
he wanted to say something that could take away all tks pain but to be honest nothing he could say could do that so they stayed in comfortable silence Carlos rubbed ts back and ran his hands through tks hair again and again

the next morning came and tk was in the same spot and Carlos's hand was under the back of his hoodie Carlos couldn't remember when they fell asleep but he knew between the two of them they didn't surpass 3 hours

Once Owen came tk just sat in the bedroom on the end of the bed he couldn't process anything he was still in shock Carlos watched from the kitchen table as Owen packed his bag he scanned for flights for the three of them to New York to attend his future mother in laws funeral - he only met Gwynn once but he saw where tk got a lot of his tendencies from

tk and Gwynn were the same - they were kind - they loved animals - they both cared so much about other people

he saw how much tk admired his mom - how much he loved his little brother

once they got the flight booked Owen said goodbye for the time being to go pick up the dry cleaning from the dryers Carlos used this as a chance to get to talk to tk "I'm so sorry Carlos.." tk broke his silence Carlos couldn't imagine why tk would be sorry he had no reason to be sorry " hey no- Carlos says "it's your first time to new york - and it's like this -." tk said a tear rolling down his cheek " hey there will be other trips .." Carlos says

"im. gonna go get us some food okay ." Carlos says softly he knows what's about to come out of tks mouth " im not hungry ." tk says "I know but you should eat something .." Carlos says kissing tks head he knows tk doesn't eat anything when he is upset it his way of punishing himself almost
