Carlos laughed a bit as he pulled out his own phone and fired off a text to Matt and Ali, telling them both to plan to be at Gael's tomorrow and to bring a guest if they wanted. "Very much, on both of those. I'm sure Eddie would be more than happy to convince Sarah to go home with him tomorrow." Sarah still stubbornly claimed not to mind. but the addition of her little cousin to the whole thing probably strained even her ability to pretend to not care.

His smile heated a bit as he sipped his own wine, putting his phone back in his jacket pocket. "You should probably attempt to teach me something," he said. "I've never bothered, since I've lived in the castle. Food is always just a matter of walking through a few halls." Or getting it delivered, now that he was in the more exalted ranks, really. He didn't generally take advantage of that though. "I'd say, though, that the backup would only be if you got tired of the stage, because I doubt the stage would tire of your face."

He stacked a few more dishes neatly as he stood, following Gael to the sink. "Both, I think," he said. "Since you've done all the work today, you can choose the movie, cariño." Later, he'd wonder how they'd gone from love confession to complete normalcy so quickly, but right now? He looped his fingers in Gael's belt loops and tugged slightly so he could cover his mouth in a brief kiss. "I do love you," he murmured.
