Yes! Let’s start a doggy day care together, @thecarlosdevil!

Ben hated the fact that the last few weeks had been so awkward for him and his friends. It was taking a toll even on those not directly affected, and Ben’s stomach had sank when Carlos had approached him and pointed out that he hadn’t seen all that much of him lately and that they should do something for Christmas. Ben hated disappointing the people he cared about most, but he also hated the idea of having to talk about what was -- or really, wasn’t -- going on with him, Mal, and Evie at the moment. And he couldn’t even begin to guess where Jay stood in all of this mess, either. So while he’d quickly agreed that he and Carlos should of course spend time together, he’d also shamefully proposed something with almost no privacy -- helping the kids of Auradon City Elementary write letters to Santa Claus before their winter break went into effect. They got off a week later than the Auradon State students, and their faces brimmed with excitement as Ben led Carlos in and introduced them to the class. “All right, now we can just wander around and glance over their shoulders and answer questions if you think that’s easier, or we could take turns sitting at different tables and then moving on, so all the kids get attention. What do you think should be our plan of attack here?”

I- I didn’t forget, but we’re not exactly friends…are we?

Of course we’re not mcfucking friends. That’s exactly why I should be the heartthrob. I’m like, the unattainable hottie.

The closest you’re going to get is @thecarlosdevil and I being Dude’s sort of co-parents, I’m afraid.
