Why this must be read: In the show, Carlos is generally the least mature of the guys, and he's an epic failure when it comes to girls, so presenting him as a romantic lead can be a hard sell. This fic does a wonderful job, positing that a lot of Carlos' problems with girls come from not having figured out his sexuality yet, and when it comes to approaching boys, he's a lot more natural.

"So what's up?" Kendall asks, fingering the collar of his shirt uncomfortably.

"You have a hickey, dude," Carlos says, barely masking his glee, "I didn't realise Jo was a vacuum."

"Shut up," Kendall says, rolling his eyes, "you wanted something from me, remember? Keep making fun of me and you're on your own." Carlos thinks this is a good point, so he dives into the conversation, exactly like he always does.

"I need you to teach me to talk to girls," he says, and Kendall looks like he's about to burst out laughing, "because I suck at it, except for Sasha, and I don't know why." Kendall eyes him curiously, like Carlos is a puzzle he can put together, before smiling.

"Maybe girls just aren't your thing, man," he says easily, and Carlos arches an eyebrow.

"What the hell kind of advice is that?" he asks incredulously. "Obviously they're not my thing, that's why I'm asking you for help." Kendall chuckles and eyes Carlos again, almost appraisingly.

"Just saying, maybe you should broaden your horizons," he says before getting up and clapping Carlos on the shoulder, leaving him alone with his extremely confused thoughts.
