Carlos was admittedly quite proud of himself. He liked to think making a two course meal with candlesticks and a fancy tablecloth for his partner after their 24 hour shift made him a pretty good boyfriend.

He had seen you a few times today on a sparse few calls, and he had seen enough to realise how tired you looked. So he figured this was his best bet to cheer you up, and worst case scenario, he would pack it up and watch a movie with you on the couch instead.

He stood as soon as he heard your car pulling in, feeling a strange sense of deja vu to his first attempt at dating you. He was much less nervous this time though. He knew you loved him either way.
