Wrote a 1 x 10 missing scene and then just decided to follow through with one of my favourite moments from season 1 ❤️
“What are you thinking?” Carlos asks, breaking the silence.
“I’m thinking,” TK sighs, wondering how he’s supposed to pour out the breadth of emotions he feels in his chest, “we make a pretty good team.”
There’s no way he can explain to Carlos what this really means to him; how his heart feels less empty, how his chest feels warm in a way it hasn’t in a very long time, how New York feels like it might as well be on another planet. Then again, he has so much more time to find the right words.
He feels Carlos’ head turn towards him, his gaze searching TK’s expression. “We really do, don’t we?”
When TK turns his head in response, he sees nothing but adoration staring back at him, one of Carlos’ hands propped behind his head as he lays spread across the hood. He allows himself a second to drink in Carlos’ expression; the warm, relaxed half-smile on his perfect lips. He can do that now, because Carlos is his, and he doesn’t need a single excuse anymore. “Afraid so,” he replies, softly.
He extracts one of his hands from the pocket of his hoodie and reaches down, grasping one of Carlos’ in his own. It comes easily as he draws it into his body; Carlos’ gaze following it as it goes. There’s a beat of silence as warm brown irises find TK’s green ones and it’s cliche as hell, but everything TK knows seems to stand still in that moment, as Carlos’ world quietly takes him apart.
Big swings, his dad once said. Then again, Owen Strand had been divorced twice.
Looking across the hood of the camaro, Carlos' palm clutched to his chest, solid and warm against his heart, TK swears off the big swings. They've never felt authentic, anyway. What he's got now, the beautiful smile etched into the face staring back at him, didn't need some grand gesture. It needed honesty, openness and just a tiny bit of calculated risk.

Thank you for giving us all those fics on Ao3 lately
I hope you reach the word goal
Your writing is amazing
Thank you for the kind words! I am, unfortunately, very 'make numbers go bigger' motivated, so the thought of having posted 1 million words on AO3 in a year makes me feral. Right now I'm still working through my backlog of prompt responses but if I can, I might be dropping a new Mishap installment and a new chapter of Bitch Me (Violently) too before the new year!
