(ignore me accidentally unfollowing you while trying to send an ask)

for your prompts:

"Why are you following me?"

Hi Jen <3 Don't worry, I accidentally unfollow peeps too sometimes haha. We all do I think. Thanks for your prompt. I tried not to overthink it and it might be half-baked (not Ben&Jerry's ;)) but I hope you still like it. "Why are you following me"

His father might have been the one to tell him to trust his gut, but it was Tía Lucy who taught Carlos about the sixth sense. Her sixth sense told him when he had pulled out some of her herbs to chew on them when he was a toddler, his father’s seemed to be when Carlos got reprimanded at school and even later at work, his mother’s seemed to be knowing when he needed a hug even when he tried everything to appear like he didn’t.

Carlos’ sixth sense tingles as he rounds the corner of the candy aisle — and stops.

As expected, someone crashes right into his back. So he had been right about being followed. Sixth sense, gut, intuition. Whatever it was, it didn’t disappoint.

“Sorry!”

He’d only seen the stalker from the corner of his eyes, so to turn around and be faced with someone that walked right out of his dreams congeals Carlos momentarily.

What he didn’t expect to blurt out when he reinhabits his frozen body is, "Why are you following me?" 

It is true. This is the third aisle he’s felt the eyes on his back, the third aisle the stranger had stayed the exact same distance, the third aisle Carlos had had enough and tested his theory.

It’s one thing to think it, another to ask it straight out but Carlos stays cool. Even when he sees the slight flush of the man’s cheeks and the way he licks his lips and leaves a sheen. He stays totally cool. Unaffected and not lost in the slope of high cheekbones. 

“Uhm…I’m not?” the stalker says.

“I’m a cop, I know when I’m being followed.”

The stalker’s eyes widen — light green irises in full glory — before he quickly schools his face. “No you’re not.”

Carlos tilts his chin up. “Wanna see my badge?”

He gets a raised eyebrow and a smirk as a response that makes his stomach do a full loop. It hadn’t been an innuendo but the reaction makes his face feel hot.

The stalker’s tongue pokes into the corner of his mouth as he seems to think on what to say. “Okay.” He blows out a breath. “Okay. I followed you because you got the last Mexican Hot Chocolate ice cream and, frankly, I need it more. So if you don’t mind, could I buy it from you?”

Carlos frowns into his basket where he picked up both a tub of Cookies & Cream and apparently the reason someone followed him through the store for the past ten minutes.

A part of him doesn’t really care about the flavors, knowing the nephew he was planning to buy it for isn’t picky, but a bigger part prompts him to ask, “Who says I don’t need it the most?”

It seems to stump the other guy just like it stumped Carlos before. “Believe me, there is no way you do.”

“Unless I see concrete evidence for that need, I’m afraid I can’t give my tub up.”

It’s impressive how lowering his eyebrows makes the guy’s eyes look like a stormy sea, glistening as he blinks and suddenly Carlos gets washed into sadness with him. It’s there and it’s gone as the guy pushes past him.

“Nevermind.”

Carlos watches the rigid back retreating, the hands turn into fists and release. Before the man can forever stay a stranger, Carlos calls, “Wait!”

The guy turns.

Carlos jogs the few steps toward him, compelled to bridge the distance quicker. “It’s already pretty melty. Do you want to share it in the parking lot? I promise not to ask about your awful day again.”

He holds the guy’s stare again, like he will all night on the curb of the H-E-B, half a tub of ice cream long melted against he bamboo forks. A few years down the road, Carlos will think of that moment and realize his sixth sense hadn’t been about being followed. It had been a sign of his soulmate being close, giving his heart no chance to miss him.

I always crack up at this scene mainly due to Amethyst's expression and Peridot bumping her fists together when talking about Garnet.

I've always loved the show's dry humour so if it were to be renewed, I'd love to get the chance to laugh more.

GSGDHDHDDGDHSHDN GOODNESS I LOVE YOUR WRITINGS!

If you don't mind at all, could write something about a very reserved Villain begrudgingly walking the road to redemption under the Hero's care and supervision after loosing their powers to the same Hero on a battle not so long ago? This happens due to the Hero feeling responsible for Villain's condition. Despiting their villainous ways and checkered past, Hero believe there's good in him.

I know this one could be really hard to do, I'm so sorry :,)

TYSM!!! im a sucker for a redeemed villain - thank you for the request!

This is more humiliating than being beaten in battle. At least the villain was trying in a fight.

The hero smiles way too genuinely. “When someone leaves,” he says brightly, “make sure you tell them to have a good day.”

The last time the civilians saw the villain, they were striking the hero down with lightning from the heavens themselves. Now the civilians are seeing them here, on this street corner, with the exact hero they were trying to electrocute, handing out peaches from the agency’s gardens. A rather ungraceful fall, and the grace is the bigger of their worries.

The fall was… embarrassing, sure. Unflattering. But—and they would never admit this to the hero’s face—it’s a nice change of pace. Appearances matter though, so they’re making a point to scowl at everyone who asks for a fruit from their little basket.

They do miss their powers though. They still don’t like the hero—they want to strike that smile right off his face.

“It’s a nice day, at least,” the hero is saying. “Your feet alright? We’ve been standing a few hours now.”

“Please stop pretending to be nice to me.”

The hero’s gaze turns down to his own basket, much less full than the villain’s. “Kind of presumptuous,” he mumbles. “I’m not pretending.”

The villain hums disbelievingly. “Because a hero genuinely cares about a villain, yeah. Okay.”

The slightest frown appears on the hero’s face. “Look, [Villain], I want to help you.” He shuffles the basket in his arms awkwardly. “It’s my fault you’re here. I know you miss your powers and your evilness and your old life, so… I want to make your new life bearable.”

“Right.” The villain stares into the crowds. They’re never sure what to say when someone’s being genuine with them. “Well, okay. Thanks or whatever.”

The hero gives them a nudge that nearly topples them. They weren’t expecting the hero to come within touching distance. “I do think you’re a pretty good person, y’know,” the hero adds lightly. “You act like you want to blow everyone to smithereens, but really I think, deep down, you care a lot.”

Do they? Did they ever care about anything? Villainy has been their life for years. They can barely remember. But on the flipside… this isn’t so bad. They won’t tell the hero that he’s right, ever, but redemption hasn’t been as awful as they expected so far.

“You’re nicer now, anyway,” the hero adds brightly, “without the power of Zeus himself.”

Well, it’s a little awful.
