Summary
Carlos shrugs heavily. Yes, he feels much worse. He’s the worst houseguest, up in the middle of the night, scaring his boyfriend’s mom and running up her electric bill by holding the freezer open. His parents would be so disappointed. He’s actually terrible at vacations and certainly awful at spring break. “I was gonna get a popsicle,” he croaks.
In which college student Carlos Reyes visits New York with his boyfriend, gets ridiculously sick, and misses his mom.

Summary
Carlos's last call had gone very long, and when he could finally check his phone he was horrified to discover 8 missed calls and dozens of texts from TK, Owen, and assorted other members of the 126. He’s been able to gather that TK broke his foot, that TK is stupid, that Mateo was involved, that Mateo is stupid, that Buttercup had something to do with it, but it was absolutely not his fault, and there was a cat who might be a sweet baby angel (according to TK) but also might be the spawn of Satan. So Carlos is a little confused.
In which TK and Mateo get a cat out of a tree.

A coda for 3x08

“Carlos?” He whispers.
Carlos presses a kiss to the nape of his neck and the dip of his shoulder, and TK’s eyelids drop at the contact.
“I have to tell you something.”

Summary
Up ahead, a logging truck turns onto the highway. It's going quite a bit slower than the rest of the cars, but is accelerating to catch up. Carlos slows down to accommodate it, and that's when the guy behind him lays on the horn.
There's a split second where Carlos gets nervous—an irrational fear from watching the second Final Destination movie with their friends a few days ago. He reminds himself that it's just a movie. It's still daylight out, the roads aren't slick with rain or ice—these are ideal driving conditions. He's never so much as scratched the paint on any car he's owned. It's fine.
Just a dumb movie.

Summary
Roy, in that soft little part of him that cares about his best fucking friend quite a lot, wants nothing more than to comfort him, tell him he'll be alright.
"Tartt," he snaps. It turns out comforting is a difficult note for Roy Kent to hit. "Stay the fuck awake if it fucking kills you. No fucking passing out on the pitch."
"M'not... not gonna...," Jamie slurs, his hand resting limply across his face now. He gags, like he's holding back an upsurge of vomit, then swallows thickly. "Just... fuckin' dizzy."

Summary
At least TK kept his promise to stay out of the ICU for a year.
He had only made it as far as the emergency room, a fractured right wrist after a (fairly) friendly basketball game at the station. He didn’t even have to take any time off, and Carlos only made two sarcastic jokes on their way home from picking him up, playfully poking at the soft cast for good measure.
Here they were, ten months into their marriage and he was waiting for Carlos to get out of emergency surgery.
***
Carlos gets hurt on a call and has surgery. Soft hospital tarlos ensues.
