"So if that's what it is then-"

"Then all it takes might be a true love's kiss." Chad says, finishing for Doug.

"Okay, so who was it? We just need to find him and get you two together quickly!" Lonnie says quickly and I chuckle.

"That's the difficult part," I say before looking up at all of them. "It's Ben."

~The next morning~Carlos's POV~

I walk out of my room and start down the hall. Last night was very unexpected. I didn't plan on telling them anything, and now all of them know. Well not all of them, there was still Ben, thank goodness he hasn't experienced any of that TimeWave stuff or figured something weird out.

The Ben in this timeline is different, maybe it's because he's marrying someone who isn't his true love or he's super stressed about king stuff, but he's not the same.

"Carlos!" I heard someone yell from behind me and before I have the chance to turn around Doug appears next to me.

"Hey, Doug," I say before checking the time. "I thought that meeting for the whole Ben thing wasn't until later?"

"Oh it isn't, but I wanted to talk to you about something," He asks and I nod my head.

"Sure what's up?"

"Uhm... I don't know how to say this but... how did you know you were..gay?" He asks and I smirk a bit.

"You know, most people will say they just knew like forever, but I figured it out when I grew a huge crush on my best friend." I admit and he gasps a bit.

"Jay??" He says his name almost as if it was a secret and I laugh at this.

"He's a pretty attractive dude, I mean who wouldn't?" I continue to laugh and he joins me but his quickly stops. It's almost as if that wasn't the answer he was looking for. "Why were you wondering?"

"Oh it's nothing... I mean.. yeah.. just .. no reason, nothing!" He babbles and I chuckle.

"Can I tell you a secret?" I ask and he nods and I lean over to him.

"It's okay to be gay," I whisper and he clearly gets discombobulated and I laugh some more.

"Me? Gay? What?? No I just, no I'm not-" I give him a look and he quickly stops talking and sighs.

"Okay, but listen, I don't know if I am, though. I mean I've never been interested in a girl but at the same time I've never been interested in a guy before either," He defends himself and I give him a weird look.

"Normally I would believe that, but you're asking me about it. Which means something or someone sparked something to make you feel like this, right?" I question and he hides his quick blush. "Aw, who is it?"

"Okay okay, I haven't felt anything for any guy... except Chad. Recently the idea of the two of us being more than just good friends has crossed my mind more than once." He admits and I smile.

"Listen, I can't tell you what to do, but my advice would be for right now to just take it one day at a time. I have to get going though, I'll talk to you later buddy!" I say before giving him a pat on the shoulder and walking off.


~With Ben~Ben's POV~

"You requested me King Ben?" Sazana's soft voice suddenly broke the silence of my room. I turned around to see her standing at the door way smiling.

"Uhh, yeah, can you please sit down?" She nods and sits opposite of me.

"What's going on?" She asks.
