    Summary

    He was awakened by the sound of his phone vibrating, still facedown on the mattress. He reached out to grab it, and Carlos's profile picture appeared before him. Carlos was videocalling him. He rubbed his eyes and sat up, leaning against the headboard. The first thing he noticed when he accepted the call and his face appeared on the screen was that his hair was a mess, disheveled on one side and crushed on the other. He ran a hand through it, trying to make it better.
    Carlos, who was taking up most of the screen, smiled at the sight of it.

    "Hi, did I wake you?" he spoke first, his voice reaching Jannik a second later. He wasn't home, birds could be heard singing and the sound of the wind on the microphone made the audio unclear.

    Or the one about Jannik e Carlos tiptoeing (literally) around each other until they are eventually brave enough to meet in the middle

    Summary

    He’s still leaning against the wall, fighting the urge to open his eyes and sneak one last look at Carlos’s picture, when footsteps, distant at first, start to come dangerously close. And then a hand settles on his arm, burning like a glimpse of hell in his corner of paradise.

    Carlos’s voice echoes off the narrow walls of the corridor. “Are you okay?”

    Or, Jannik has just won Beijing and adrenaline and wine make it difficult for him to ignore his feelings for Carlos.

    Summary

    He’s just gotten back from dinner, he’s still standing in the hallway while taking off his shoes, when Jannik hears his phone ring. Instead of the screen flashing him a ‘Mama’ or ‘Mark’ or maybe even a ‘Simone’ like he’d expected, what greets him there is:

    Carlos Alcaraz New

    Huh.

    After losing in his second round in Miami, Carlos calls Jannik.

    Summary

    Jannik has a fairly simple life, working shifts at his father's restaurant, running orders and clearing tables. But when an unusually attractive man comes in to eat, suddenly everything's not so simple anymore. And what's this about him being the world number one?

    Or, Jannik works as a waiter at his father's restaurant and Carlos is immediately in love (so is Jannik)
