he hesitated and nodded, moving off. he didn’t knock before moving to diego’s place. “hey, diego. you ok? what the hell happened?” he asked.

[peridot.]

Diego was curled up on the couch, his face buried in a pillow. He sniffled when he heard Mickey come in, and he mumbled softly, feeling his heart in his stomach, "I'm pretty sure I just made Carl hate me."
Meanwhile, Ian sighed and looked at Carl, saying softly as he held Yevgeny close, "Anyways, like I was saying, if you let this end the friendship between you and Diego, I will slap you. Brother or not. If some boy stopped being my friend just because I misread things or developed a crush on him, I would be devastated."

[dannychan]

he frowned and moved to sit near him. “and why would you think that?”

[peridot.]

"Because I kissed him even though I knew he wasn't gay because I was a stupid fucking idiot who developed a crush on him even though I knew I shouldn't have." He said, his voice slightly muffled as he refused to pick his head up.

he blinked. “diego, i just want you to know, you’re doing better than i did when i started with ian. i was in full blown denial.” he stated. “and considering how everything is going.. i wouldn’t be surprised if carl is too.” he said.

[peridot.]

He frowned and slowly sat up, gripping the pillow in his hands, "But... I don't even know if Carl is in denial or anything! I kept seeing signs that I thought might mean he liked me, but... But I bet that was just my stupid naive brain trying to trick me."

[dannychan]

he blinked. “carl never stops talking about you. it’s always diego this, diego that. i think hes pretty deep in denial.” he said.

[peridot.]

He looked up at the older male for a long moment before saying softly, "...You really think so?"

[dannychan]

he nodded. “i was the same way when i was your age. your.. what, sixteen?” he asked.

[peridot.]

Ian sighed and said, glancing at Carl, "Just... Go over there please, okay? I'm pretty sure you'll be able to figure it out pretty quickly."
