Once Carlos had left for Auradon with Mal, Evie and Jay,— you truly believed that you would never see him again. After all, you were on the Isle. No source of communication, no way out.

You were happy for him, of course. After all, he was getting the opportunity of a lifetime. It was just sad that, in the process of all of that— you were being left behind by the only person you had ever been able to love in a way that wasn’t thought capable.

Carlos knew of your feelings for him, and he reciprocated them— however, love on the Isle was forbidden, so you had to survive by just being “close friends”. You’d steal the occasional kiss, but nothing more.

Never a single “I love you.”

But oh, the times you wished you had said it before he left— for what you thought was for good.

Two years went by during your separation, and things on the Isle had changed drastically. Rules had changed drastically, and you had found love. In Harry Hook.

He had been there when Carlos couldn’t be. He had held you in the times you felt alone, and welcomed you with open arms into Uma’s crew as his right hand girl.

It was only when Carlos came back to retrieve Ben that he realised what he’d lost.

What he had left behind so stupidly.
