Carlos didn't think that he would stay in Night Vale for very long, it just sort of happened. Night Vale was strange and they never found any explanations, even after years of scientific research. But the years started rolling by, Carlos's things ended up in Cecil's house, and slowly, one by one, all the other researchers left town. After about four years the funding stopped coming, so Carlos got a job at the Night Vale Music Store.

Cecil didn't mean for Carlos to stay, it just sort of happened. Cecil didn't really think that their relation would last very long, he thought he was too strange for someone as perfectly normal as Carlos. Cecil just didn't believe it when Carlos fun lay decided to stay in Night Vale without funding and he was even more surprised when, after seven years, he was the one to finally pop the question.

"So Cecil," Carlos said while they were eating diner one night. "I did some research and same sex marriage is legal in Night Vale, so," Carlos took Cecil's hand. "Cecil Baldwin will you marry me?"

"Oh my god, oh my god, yes, oh my god," Cecil was stunned, he was amazed, and he was the luckiest person in the world to have someone like Carlos.
