E and K for the ask game if you haven't answered them yet!

hi paige! thanks for the ask! love seeing you in my inbox your pfp is so sunny and warm <3

E: What character do you identify with most?  Is there a certain fic of yours that captures these qualities particularly well?

who me? the overthinking, the perfectionism, the slightly chaotic nature, the tendency to do 3927498734 things at once? i gotta be agcd babyyyy.

i'm not sure which iteration of alex is most like me (definitely NOT down for the count version, because i can't do math) but maybe Speak for Yourself Alex because I'm constantly overworked and hating my job or maybe the first chapter of Seven Years because I will race anyone I see out on a run.

K:  Do you have a guilty pleasures in fic (reading or writing)?

Don't really feel guilty but I do have a habit of re reading a lot of my favourite fics if I just want a quick comfort read. sometimes i just like knowing how it ends 💜

thank you, paige!

2020: the year from hell

Paul shakes his head at him. “Man, you are making everyone else look bad by being the perfect boyfriend, you know that?”

Carlos scoffs and tries to wave him off but there’s a bashful smile on his face. TK says the same thing to him sometimes. It’s not that he doesn’t believe them, but doing nice things for TK isn’t something that he has to think twice about. He just wants to make TK happy, he wants to give him the world. He doesn’t think he deserves a reward for that because in return he already gets TK’s love, which is more than enough.

Carlos feels like it’s been forever since he’s seen anyone from the 126 besides TK. With busy personal lives and even busier work schedules, they haven’t had time to get together as a group in weeks until now where they have all piled into Carlos and TK’s living room. Most of them, anyway. Medical got a call right before the end of their shift but TK managed to send him a text promising he and Nancy would be here shortly. 

Carlos is pulled from his conversation with Paul by Marjan’s loud cheering coming from across the room.

“You cheated!” Mateo cries, gesturing to the screen displaying the results of the race. 

“It’s Mario Kart, Probie. I don’t think you can cheat,” she laughs. 

—Afraid so.
