You haven't seen or heard from Teru the past few days, not a call or a text notified in your phone for his whereabouts, you were getting worried.

You attempted to ask kou about it, but unfortunately he wasn't at school either, asking Yashiro was also an option but when you did she said she haven't heard from kou either.

And this is how you came to this mess, Kou was somehow cooking yet having a call with Yokoo and Satou, surprisingly talking about homework.

"Kou-oniichan is taking care Teru-oniichan he's got a high fever" the female tugging you towards the stairs told you, dragging out the 'h' in high as you passed the boy in the kitchen, none of you daring to disturb the boy.

"Teru-oniichan is sick?" You asked again despite hearing it already, the female nodded and placed her hands on her waist as the both of you reached the closed door of Teru's room.

"Yeah! he fell down the stairs and Kou-oniichan carried him" you looked at the direction of the kitchen, stunned that kou could carry his own brother, with his whole weight even.

"Well thank you for thanking care of the both of them Tiara-chan" you smiled and patted the females hair, her happily giggling "No problem!"

"I better be going" you told her before she tugged your sleeves, gaining ur attention, she motioned a shh sign with her finger, whispering towards you.

"He's sleeping, we should be quiet when going inside" you smiled and placed a finger towards your lips "I'll be quiet" the female grinned at you before walking away, probably gonna help kou out with the cooking.

With that said, you opened the door, careful for it to not creak, the curtains were open surprisingly the afternoon glow of the sun not waking up the sleeping prince who laid on his bed, layers of covers hugging his figure.

Your lips twitched up at the calm sight of the boy in front of you, until though, you looked at the discarded books and paper work on the floor and bedside.

You sighed and started to pick up the books and paperwork on the floor, arranging them neatly on his desk, before moving towards his bedside, unfortunately, before you could neatly place the paper's on his desk a hand lightly grasped your wrist, startling you in the process.

"Love? What are you doing here?" The grasp on your wrist loosened, prompting to clasp his hand on yours instead.

You relaxed, placing the papers on the desk and sitting on the side of his bed, playing with his fingers "well, a little birdy told me your sick" you lightly chuckled as you frowned, worried plastered all over your features.

"Why didn't you tell me?" The blonde frowned, yet it looked more like a pout with a damp towel on his forehead.

"I didn't want to worry you, plus I'm better now" he attempted to stand up, abruptly stopping as he almost fell down in the bed with the sudden force of standing up.

your arms holding his shoulders and back when you noticed he almost fell down "yeah, better really" the both of you lightheartedly laughed, as your boyfriend sat himself down, wanting to sit with you in the bed instead of laying down.

"So, Have you been taking care of yourself?" Teru smiled at you, observing your movement as you started to wash the cloth in warm water you found laying on the floor.

Teru loves seeing you take care of people, as it is very rare for you to take care of one, the blonde prince wouldn't lie if he says that seeing you attempt to take care of him doesn't make his heart flutter.

But more or less, he feels bad he made you worry.

"Yes, more than you anyway, school gave so much homework though, we also have a test tomorrow" you complained, angrly squeezing the life out of the cloth in your hands.

Teru snorted at you while you gave him a look of betrayal "sorry, sorry, you just look so cute complaining like that" you scoffed as a response, a smirk then laid on your features.

"I want to see your face once you realize how much homework you'll do" the blonde only smiled at your comment, your face shifting from confusion to realization as you looked over the paperwork you were fixing earlier.

"Ughh that's not fair" you pouted as you spread yourself lazily on the bed, teru laughing at you before he sighed, earning your attention.

"Hm? What's wrong?" You asked as you stood up, grasping his hand onto yours. Teru laughed and lightly shook his head "it's nothing, I'm just– well I'm sorry for worrying you"

You smiled at him lovingly wondering how you were able to get this man "it's not nothing, and don't be sorry about it, I'm only worried because I care for you hm? Plus your pretty reckless when it comes to exorsising things its normal for me now"

Teru scoffed, and pouted crossing his arms, his gaze drifting to his katana at the back of the room "That was on purpose, those supernaturals aren't supposed to be here anyway" you tapped his leg, as he looked at you confused until he saw a mokke he let tiara keep.

"Then why didn't you exorcise this cute thing yet?" The mokke jumped as you mentioned about exorcising them, he hid in your neck as it shakes.

Teru glared at the pink bunny before sighing "tiara wants to keep it as a pet so i let her keep it, if not its not supposed to be here"

You chuckled and let the mokke go, giving it a piece of candy as it hopped away, ah yes, teru is your moody little man. "What was that?" The blonde suddenly spoke, eying you curiously.

You looked at him confused "what?" Teru smirked at you, a glint of mischief and hurt on his eyes "you said something about me, could you repeat it for me?"

You eyed him, frowning with confusion, you didn't say anything though? Unless you said your thoughts out loud...

Oh.

"I said your my little prince!" You smiled at him, as though he smiled at you back "that seems wrong, I believe I heard you said something of.." you looked at him curiously yet very nervously.

"Something of?" He moved closer to you, like a villain taunting it's victim, which he somehow doesn't look as sick as he looks earlier "your moody little man, hm?"

You huffed at him "it's true anyway! Who knew boys could have mood swings too! And they say girls are moody when on their period"

With you distracted on your mumbling, you weren't able to realize how your boyfriend inched closer towards you, unfortunately for the both of you though, the time you finally realized it was when he had his nose next to yours, which made you jump in surprise resulting to almost falling off the bed.

Keyword, almost.

"Oh why hello there, you almost fell didn't you?" You grumbled at his arms "ah well mister prince charming I thought it was obvious" Teru chuckled at you before looking straight into your eyes, you starring back at his own as well.

He looked calm, too much for your liking, if it isn't obvious it some, it looked like he was trying to tell you something, yet you ignored it.

"Kiss me" he said in a breathy voice, it seemed sore as well, he's still sick isn't he? It must of took all his strength to balance the two of you, more so, you just sitting on the wood frame of the bed.

Just at the same moment, the door opened, revealing another blonde holding a tray of food, a shorter one stood beside him, a two empty glass cups in hand.

And before any of you could utter a single word, the male blonde in the doorway beat you to it "we should've called (name) earlier so that you won't lay there the whole day" another voice chirped in, it was in a higher pitch humming in approval before speaking.

"Teru-oniichan just needs a magical kiss on the lips!" Before shuffling was heard and the door clasped shut, no room of argument was given as the two of you still stared at the closed door that once held the two younger Minamoto's.

Teru turned to look at you, a goofy smile on his features "so? My kiss?" You sighed at this, and prompted to kiss his forehead instead and stood up to grab the food of tray Kou left for his brother.

You could feel Teru's pouting stare piercing through you, if looks could kill, you would be in bed right now, kissing the heck of your boyfriends face.

"Once your better alright my prince?" You told him as you took the tray and faced him. You were expecting a pouty Teru yet it seemed his expression shifted to a more amazed yet loving stare.

"Alright, I love you, you know that right?" You stayed silent for a while, before a smile lifted up to your features.

"I love you too Teru"

I am now thinking of Kaveh x reader friends to bestfriends, in their summer before third year, Kaveh fitting in with reader's friends as his past friends left him behind. Going to outings with reader's friend group instead during the summer.

I am now thinking of Kaveh x reader, during their third year, the friendship group staying in one class, Kaveh realizing his admiration with reader when his old friends asked him to befriend them again, a pit was formed in his stomach when he rarely sees them anymore.

I am now thinking of Kaveh x reader during their fourth year, their friends in the friendship group boosting on Kaveh with his not obvious liking to reader, his friends only knowing during a phone call with Alhaitham.

I am now thinking of Kaveh & reader, during graduation, reader introducing their new lover in front of their friend group proud and congratulating stares were given, when reader left, they apologised to Kaveh knowing fully well about his feelings towards you.

I am now thinking of Kaveh & reader, bestfriends to friends, during their first year of college.

I am now thinking of Kavehx reader friends to bestfriends, during the semester break of their first year of college, their friendgroup decreased with a few people left, Kaveh passing by with Alhaitham, seeing a break up unfold as they comfort the person who was crying in the playground, now noticing it was you.

I am thinking of bestfriends to lovers.

During their summer before second year, the duo announcing their relationship in front of their old group of friends, the friends patting Kaveh in the back for his patience, being proud of him after everything he had went through.

"Mami, Papi, this is (name), my partner" Camilo your lover introduced as you waved awkwardly towards the two adults.

Today, encanto was celebrating an event which you had no clue what was it about, although looking at the matching colours of the theme and the outfit the couple in front of you were wearing, you assumed it was their anniversary.

According to Camilo, you haven't met anyone from your partners side, well except for Antonio who practically acted as your son during your relationship, Camilo was a little jealous at first because your attention would go to his little brother more if he was in the same room as him, but the more it happens the more he thinks your an amazing example of a wife.

The duo in front of you seemed to be enthusiastic and lovable. I guess you know know where Camilo gets those from.

"I hope my son treats you right" the redhead–Pepa which she introduced as–told you honestly as she took your palms in her hands, a small smile on her face.

Her husband, Felix, was by her side sincerely nodding along with an arm on her waist, it was a sweet relationship, like the both of yours, your just more...introverted.

"He does" you started and starred happily at the both of them, your lips twitching upward unconsciously "you have a great son Mrs. Madrigal"

Suddenly, a call of a pair of names alerted the duo of their need of appearance, giving the both of you a smile "no need for honorifics, call me Tia if you would like so"

"Call me papa too!" Felix butted in as Camilo playfully scoffed at this "pa! (Name) probably doesn't want to-"

"Thank you so much Tia and papa, happy anniversary too" you told the both of them, Camilo looking at you dumbfoundedly as the couple in front of looked at you proudly.

"The pleasure is all ours"

"That ended well" you told the curly head beside you, a smile plastered on your features, Camilo on the other hand playfully pouted at you.

Crossing his arms at you "it didn't! How am I gonna live with you calling my father 'papa'?!" You laughed at him, patting his shoulder apologisingly "don't worry, I'm not, let a man have their fun"

"You should call me papi" Camilo smirked at you, while you looked at him bored out of your mind "I would rather not"

Not long after the conversation, a voice interrupted the both of you, directing your attention towards the crowd

"(name)!" A familiar voice shouted from the distance, you grinned at it and kneeled down, readying yourself for a force of impact.

"Tonito'! Hello!" You greeted and hugged the boy, the curly head giggling back at you while you squeezed him tightly before carrying him on your arm.

"How is my buddy going?" You grinned at him while he answered your question with the things he had done with Mirabel, which you pressumed who you will meet next.

Speaking of the devil, a curly head emerged from the crowd, panicking as her hair seems to be dishevelled, however, she seemed to perked up at Antonio's voice not too far from where she is standing, directing her attention to you and the boy happily chatting in your arms.

"Antonio, there you are, I was looking for you" she sighed in relief and Antonio looked clueless but shrugged her statement off.

He pointed at you with a smile on his face "I'm with (name)! By the way, (name) this is Mirabel, Mirabel this is (name)" he introduced the both of you, if you're asking where Camilo might be he is sitting on the floor, bored that you have just been introducing yourself to his family the whole day.

It's his fault that you just met them today.

"Pleasure to meet you" you grinned and placed Antonio down, shaking hands with the female madrigal, she complied and shook hands with you.

"Your Camilo's partner right? You know you should have someone better" she whispered at you jokingly, Camilo whining just below the two of you as Mirabel giggled at him.

"Please, he's the only one available" you joked back, the boy below you shooting you an offended expression, exaggerating it with a hand on his hand.

The both of you laughed at his expression while you calmly told him that your joking, Antonio, who now wanted nothing to do in the conversation, tugged Mirabels hand and waved a goodbye to you, wanting to join into the dancing in the center.

"We should go get food" you muttered to Camilo while sticking your hand out to him, helping him up to stand, he happily obliged, finally happy to spend time with you rather than listening to introductions.

"I heard Tia made some Empanada's!" The boy beside you excitedly told you as he unconsciously held your hand, dragging you along the food stall.

"I never tasted Tia's Empanada's before" you replied, now looking for the tray that stored the Empanada's.

Camilo frowned when he couldn't look for the food he excitedly wanted to taste, unfortunately for the both of you, the food seems to be out of stock, which made the both of you eat arepas instead.

"Arepas taste better anyway" you tempted to enlighten the situation as you realized how bummed out your partner was when the Empanada's were out.

Camilo pouted at you, but lightheartedly chuckled at your attempt at making him smile, although it was a bummer the both of you weren't able to munch on the Empanada's.

"Huh? (name)? Didn't know you were here" A once again familiar voice spoke to you, well you assumed spoke to you as the two of you looked upwards.

Camilo grumbled and visibly pouted at how somebody disturbed your quality time together, not to mention how another introduction will happen right infront of him.

"Luisa! Hey, how are you?" You smiled and fist bumped the taller female infront of you, the curly haired boy frowning in confusion at the interaction.

"I'm doing great! I also followed your advice! It's really fun to see a dandelion grow" Luisa Charmed in, the both of your now engaging in a deep conversation of who knows what.

Camilo on the other hand looked stunned, since when did the two of you meet? And a dandelion? Advice? Dude, how long is this friendship been going? How come he wasn't aware about it?

His thoughts were abruptly cut off by another voice pitching in the conversation.

"Isa! How are you doing today?" You greeted and hugged her back, Isabela smiling up at you, until her gaze landed on a lost child right beside you.

"Oh! This is my partner I was talking about" you introduced as Isabela frowned, Luisa congratulating the both of you of having a healthy relationship.

"You have horrible taste" Isabela calmly stated, although you couldn't identify who she was talking to as she faced the arepas in the counter.

"What-" "I'm not talking to you"

Camilo shut his mouth after he got cutted off, Ouch, what's up with Camilo Hate all of a sudden, You snickered at that while your lover shooted you a glare.

"Anyways, (name) you should teach me how to do flower crowns! I heard you know how to" Isabela excitedly told you, although you assumed she doesn't mean right now as people seems to be calling her.

"Sure, Whenever your free" you grinned while she happily nodded, before waving a goodbye, it was a short conversation but hey, it was an interaction.

Luisa on the other hand, was also needed for something, the piano you pressumed as she also waved a goodbye while running towards a direction to who knows what.

"I got fresh Empanada's" Julieta called out when she noticed the two of you near the food Bruno tagging along with a few rats with him, you grinned while Camilo's eyes sparkled with excitement, grabbing two Empanada's on the tray.

"Sorry I got it late, Agustin got chased by bees" she sighed at her husbands clumsiness, you waved her off, also grabbing an empanada on the tray.

"It's fine Tia, as long as Tio is okay" you smiled up at her.

"Aww sometimes I think your too nice for our Camilo"

Camilo could feel his heart shatter, I guess today really is hate on Camilo day, are you really out of his league? He thought he's the only one who thinks that.

"By the way, this is Bruno, I believe you haven't met him" Julieta Introduced as you nodded along lifting a hand up towards the boy.

"Hello, I'm (name) Camilo's partner" Bruno sort of looked stunned but softly smiled and shook you hand "I'm Bruno, but you probably already know that"

You smiled as your attention suddenly went to his rats, who were hiding in his ruana, Bruno realized this and hid them more, thinking you didn't want to see them "sorry- they are my friends, they always-" and was cut of by you.

"You should introduce me to them sometime, I would love to meet them" you grinned as Bruno starred at you at utter disbelief, his attention suddenly went to Camilo, who looked dumbstruck at what Julieta said earlier, but still listening in the conversation.

"Camilo, take care of them, she's a keeper"

"Oh my, its nice to finally meet you" a soft spoken voice slightly, caught your attention if it wasn't for Julieta looking further behind you, cutting off the telepathic conversation Camilo and Bruno were having

"Wait sorry, are we disturbing something here or?" Mariano, Dolores's partner apologised while Julieta politely shook her head.

"No, I'm afraid your not" she smiled before adding, holding both of yours and Camilo's shoulder by each hand "well, we'llleave the four of you to it, I have to find Agustin before he gets stings again"

"And I have to find Roberto too" Bruno added to Julieta's statement as you nodded in understanding.

The four of you bid your goodbyes, you mentally thinking why every encounter you engage on another one, however, you do not decide the plot of this story.

Once Julieta and Bruno took their leave, Dolores excitedly held both of your hands, she probably wanted to see you for so long but your paths couldn't cross with the things the both of you had to do.

"Hi, I'm Dolores, Camilo's sister and I want you to know that Camilo once peed thinking that you will reject him" she introduced, calmly stating an embarrassing moment like it didn't affect the person involved which by the way was now trying to prohibit his sister to tell more.

"Okay okay, I won't tell her more, But I want you to know is that my dear brother loves you dearly and would die to save you, me and Mariano have been trying to get the both of you together when we saw you play with the children with him"

Completely ignoring her word, Dolores continued embarrassing her brother more, but fortunately for Camilo, its hiss first time the whole day to hear someone say the both of you are meant to be together, like two peas in a pod.

Although the sweet moment didn't last long as abuela also approached the four of you, ah yes the final boss, it may not seem to be for others as abuela stopped being into 'perfection' after the fall of Casita, but to Camilo, getting Abuela's blessing is like winning the lottery.

"Dolores, if you may" She slightly told her, The girl beside you, nodding away and headed to the dance floor with Mariano, the both of them swaying to the music with smiles on her face, of course not before telling you to meet up with her right after.

You looked at Abuela a soft smile on your face, yes your partner may told his issues to you about her abuela before but then again, you understood her perspective but you don't encourage it either.

She softly smiled towards you to, then to Camilo "I'm happy for you Camilo" gently, she took her hand in hers, your partner stunned at what the older female said.

"Please take care of him as I couldn't do so" she softly told you, your eyes slightly blurred on you, it wasn't emotional oh dear no—you just know the history of those words that made it emotional.

You removed your hands from her hold, taking her own and smiled to her, Camilo on the sidelines looking at the both of you, still slightly stunned but very happy, more likely very happy at the next words you spoke.

"I will, always"

"Is that blood?"

Camilo didn't expect to open the door to his room to welcome you, who somehow looked like they came from a war, clothes unevenly ruffled, hair a mess, and what's not to miss is the gushing red stains on your forehead.

You didn't mean to fall off the house roof and landing on the broken wood carriage, you just slipped and tripped that's all, although that isn't the reason why you are here.

“Yes but that doesn’t matter right now, what does matter is-” Camilo deadpanned at your behaviour, abruptly snatching your hand catching you mid sentence to bring you to his Tia, getting you healed up.

“You are literally bleeding, it does matter" you looked at him like a deer caught in headlights until you shook your head.

"Look I'm fine okay? It's just a scratch, there's more important things to do than this" you reasoned and tugged his hand that was holding your wrist tightly.

"Oh the next thing you know you get stabbed and think of doing house chores the next day" Camilo frustratedly told you as he held your wrist tighter but not enough to leave a mark on it.

Once the two of you got to Julieta, who was tending minor injuries, she suddenly shifted her attention to you who was rather calm for the bloody forehead you have, not bothering to explain what happened with a worried yet annoyed Camilo beside you.

Once tended, Julieta left the two of you with a damp cloth to clean off the stained blood dripping on your head, the boy beside you observing your actions silently, as if to ask 'what happened?'

You sighed after you asked Camilo if there are any stains left, which he said there are none and leaned back. "Fell of the roof"

The boy looked at you a shock expression on his face before you added "it was slippery okay! I was fixing our roof" he calmed down- well slightly calmed down.

"Although I'm more worried of the donkeys"

"What? Why?" He asked slowly standing up to tell an adult about the problem with the donkeys "they ran off when I fell I dunno where they went" and that's when you heard a commotion happening in the madrigal house.

Surprisingly none of them knew about it despite not seeing the donkeys where they usually stay, Dolores knows, but she didn't bother as it's their happy time with Mariano.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?! We could of started finding them!" That was Luisa screaming her heart out to her cousin who tried to explain he didn't know and tended your wounds first before asking.

"Luisa it's okay, I'm sure we would find them" that was Mirabel, calming her older sister down while Isabela had to stop herself from choking the boy.

Yes it was just donkeys but Luisa cares for them alot.

Unknowingly, You sat with Antonio who was sitting in your lap, happily eating an arepa while you played with his hair.

"Should we tell them I could ask my friends to call them here?" Antonio asked as he raised his head up to look at you.

You shook your head and laughed at the commotion "nah, let them realize that themselves"

"m'so stupid aren't I?" you didn't mean to sound desperate, you didn't even mean to sound like you needed pity, it just came out pathetically.

pathetic?

Were you pathetic?

Sakusa frowned at you, what is he supposed to say after that? Should he comfort you? Did he say something wrong? He should think of his next words more carefully, perhaps, thinking what you would feel if he told you that.

"You aren't stupid—"

"How was I such an idiot, to believe that you, out of all people, could ever love me?” you looked at him, eyes stern yet filled to the brim with tears, it was dripping to the floor at this point, yet Sakusa looked none of concern.

Sakusa didn't mean to make you cry, he probably looks like a careless person right now if anyone would see this scene unfold, but in truth, he just doesn't know how to react.

what are you crying for anyway? Did he forget to do the laundry? Is it his turn to buy the groceries? Why are you crying right now—

Oh.

It was a confession, he didn't know that, you were confessing your love to him yet he straight up thought it was a joke, who wouldn't? You've been making jokes to him about being his partner for decades.

You've been friends for who knows how long, roomates for the past few years yet he thought you were joking right now. He felt terrible. He's a terrible person.

"It wasn't– I thought–" he reached out to you, yet, to his dismay you dodged his touch, shaking your head.

"No– No, I'm fine, just go back to practice, break is probably over already"

You were stupid, how could you ever believe a guy like him, who has a lot of fawning girls and guys, could ever find his future with you.

Heck, you felt so cringy now, why are you playing the victim? You should just shut up and stop crying already, its pathetic.

You smiled and waved at him, like the moments earlier didn't happen, it just another day you thought "what do you want for dinner? I'm thinking pasta though do you prefer something else?"

You heard Sakusa click his tongue, although you chose to ignore it "if you don't want anything I'm cooking pasta" you sighed and looked at him.

And suddenly, air was knocked out of your lungs, you felt the hard yet soft grass on your back, a hand was cupping the back of your head like the person was expecting the fall.

"Sakusa what are you doing?, its dirty here, get up" it was out of character for him, hugging you with the force of falling down.

"No, I should apologise" he muttered at you, holding you tightly like you were his lifeline, yes like.

"Sure big baby, just get up, it's dirty here" You should be mad at him, should lash out at him, yet you acted like he didn't upright reject you, were you this understanding to the point you just neglect your needs?

"I'm sorry, I should be more aware of the impact of words" you looked at him confused, what? You didn't get it, he rejected you then he apologised to you for his words?

You snickered at his face "You don't look sorry" he placed a hand infront of his face, another remark was supposed to come out yet he cut it short, prompting to say something else.

"I like you, okay?" You starred at him in disbelief, before shifting your face to a more stotic one "I don't" Sakusa shot you a glare, despite having a massive blush on his cheeks, he wasn't one with words after all.

"I'm kidding, chill, you thought I was joking earlier didn't you?" You brushed him off, you were walking into this too casually, should you put your guard up?

He nodded, not trusting his words for now, he thought you will reject him anyway despite knowing you reciprocate his feelings, it was still a possibility you know.

"So Kiyoomi, if I could call you that" you looked at him both of your hands intertwined, waiting for some type of remark on why you shouldn't, but when you didn't get one you continued.

"What would you like for dinner?" You stopped when you felt him stop walking, you were too calm, too calm for his liking.

You looked at him, curiously before freezing, seeing his face near yours as he pecked the corner of your lip and walking towards the entrance of the gym.

"Pasta and Garlic bread would be nice"

"Did you know that you talk in your sleep?" You muttered, eyes slightly droopy as you played with the curly boy's hair.

It was night, pass midnight at least, the two of you have been catching up from the pass few days as Camilo has been busy up for chores, it was normal for you though, you just wished that he took breaks and not tire himself too much.

The boy in your arms hummed as a response, cuddling closer to you as you sighed, him in your arms isnt a bad thing but, your arms are aching since you rested from your chores, moving his head slightly out of your arms, letting him lay on the pillow.

"Huh?" He groggily sat up, rubbing his eyes as he looked at you confused "why did you?..." you smiled at him apologetically "sorry, my arm was aching"

Camilo nodded and decided to lay on your chest, you looked at him stunned for a moment before snuggling in "what are you doing?" You asked, continuing to play with his curls.

"M' using you as a pillow, you took all of the pillows so I'm using you as one" he muttered adjusting his feet to snuggle with yours, you hummed, looking at the now cold pillow beside you.

Yeah, you didn't took all the pillows, it was just an excuse to cuddle up to you, although, you don't mind at all.

"You're an idiot..." you said before drifting slowly into slumber, eyes closing shut, the hands playing on his curls slowly coming to a halt.

Camilo smiled and intertwined his hands to yours "but you love me" you hummed at it, grasping his hand that held your own.

"That's true"

You are pretty.

Very pretty heck beautiful even, What did Camilo ever do to deserve such beauty? Did he save a whole darn country in his past life that made the people above him meet you? Yet alone, be in a relationship with you?

The both of you aren't even fresh in the relationship, you have been dating for months! Almost a year too! And yet Camilo feels like he just fell in love all over again.

You found it adorable how your loving partner would admire you and tell you those catchy yet cringy pick-up lines like the two of you are in your courting phase.

The small glances and loving smiles while doing your chores encourages not only you but also Camilo in doing your best the whole day, despite doing everything in the best you can.

It was bright and sunny in encanto, another day has past with a lot of chores to do. You had been helping your tia Julieta with feeding the people with minor and major injuries.

The worst one being fallen down by a tree as the town is renovating its area. Although despite the injuries being less and less frequent it doesn't mean the arepas Julieta had readied will never run out.

"(Name)? could you please get the batch of arepas in the shelves? Their under the stove"

Julieta caught your attention by holding a gentle hand on your shoulder, careful to not startle you as you were tending an injured animal.

You hummed and looked at her, a smile reached your features as you nodded, softly patting the squirrel at the table to notify that he is fully healed.

"Sure Tia, anything to help" you grinned and made your way to the madrigal abode.

Before abruptly stopping as Julieta also asked you to bring the other arepas for an afternoon snack, which was also under the 'magical' arepas by the stove. 

You skidded along the tiles of the home, as the house's opened window moved along, waving to you as a welcome.

"Hello there Casita" you waved back and thanked the House as it opened the door for you.

You noticed how the tiles and paint seems to be newly polished, feathering your touch towards it "your looking very beautiful today Casita"

Casita responded by moving the tiles along your feet, you giggled at that and ventured your way towards the kitchen.

Of course not forgetting to wave at Mirabel, who were a few tiles away from the door, talking to your lover as she smiled back at you and continued her chattering.

Camilo not missing the gesture.

As you entered the kitchen, the smell of freshly baked goods filled your nostrils, you made your way towards the stove Julieta uses to cook.

And grabbed the tray of arepas on it, all freshly stacked on the tray.

You placed it on the table and moved to get the other tray not until voice stopped you from doing so.

"Why didn't my angel greet me today"

You could hear the pout at his tone alone and you looked at him confused "aren't you talking with Mirabel earlier? It seemed important"

The boy hummed and took a bite of the arepas on your tray feeding himself the food "it wasn't, she's just telling me where the paint are and the colors I should use to repaint some parts at casita"

"Milo'! That is important" you playfully scolded him with a nudge, the boy smirking at you and wrapped his arms around your figure.

"Not as important as you" He pecked your cheek and shrugged his arms out of you.

"Two out of ten" You scored and Camilo whined at it, until being cut off by Casita playfully hitting his legs.

While Camilo was suffering in the corner, you took this chance and took the tray of arepas and placed it above the tray your holding, thinking this is the best way to get two things done at the same time.

"I'll be going now Milo' ill see you later" you pecked him on the cheek and headed for the door, stopping when Camilo held your shoulder.

He grabbed the two tray and walked beside you, a loving smile on his features as you mirrored his own "I'll be carrying that for you señorita"

You shook your head and took the upper tray "nope! I'm carrying at least one" Camilo raised his brows but let you be.

"Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?" You laughed, oh how much Camilo loved your laugh, is like music to his ears.

"Yes! Like I don't know, since this morning?" You looked at him, your lips twitched upwards to only see him looking at you already.

"Well I gotta remind you every second" He answered, eyes staring at you lovingly, while you lead the way helping him to not hit anything while walking.

"Very sweet Cami'" you told him and looked at him, examining his features, from his freckles to his emerald eyes "pretty boy..." you muttered as Camilo looked at you curiously.

"What?" He asked, he unfortunately wasn't able to hear what you said.

You shrugged him off and walked further than him, telling him to moving faster as the two of you have chores to do.

Camilo looked at your brisk walking figure, and smiled softly, you were very pretty in his eyes, and he was very pretty in yours.

A pretty couple, just how he likes it.

He should find a better way to cope.

KAZUHA thinks as he walks towards every corner in the room, the boy has lost count many days it has been since he has set foot outside of this abode, eyes lingering on every corner of the house forcing himself to do whatever he can- anything to distract himself from the harsh reality this world has set upon him.

"Kazuha"

A peaceful voice- your voice snapped him out of his trance, there you stood in all your glory, a worried expression laid upon your features, i mean who wouldn't. The boy looked sluggish, his hair unkept and clothes drenched in sweat- the only thing keeping him sane as he is is the amount of chores he forced himself to think is unfinished.

He hasn't even made a single haiku the past days.

You walked towards him, a brush at hand as you guided the poor soul to the nearest chair you could sit him on. It wasn't much of help but either way you were glad he welcomed the feeling of your fingers treading on his locks, he wouldn't admitted it out loud but it was a calming experience, a very welcome one.

"I missed this" he sighed as he starred up at you lovingly, eyes locking momentarily, a face of admiration and thankfulness on his features,you snorted at this, eyes shining with mischievousness.

He knew an insult or a teasing remark will follow suit, but he cant help but focus on just your eyes, a shining, sparkling adventure awaits in them, an adventure he can't help but wait to explore.

However, he might of waited for too long.

"you literally go out and about the whole time, I can't even join you cause who is taking care of this damn heritage" you rambled on about, Kazuha couldn't help but giggle at your small rant, you scoffing at his lack of inquiry to the topic.

"I told you to take a break...how about we go explore dragonspine? Just the two of us?" He softly suggested, yes it might be dangerous for you with the sheer cold and possible camps around the area but he trusts you enough that you can take care of yourself, besides he will be always be right behind your back.

You sat infront of the boy now as you gleamed at him, smile wider than the vast of skies, eyes shimmering bright outcasting the scorching sun, he starred at you like a dear in headlights before a small smile made its way to his features, the rest of the pent up strees he has been feeling for the past few days subsided by it.

"Really?! Ah im so excited!" You celebrated happily, your figure leaving the room to start getting ready for your little adventure, leaving the canadian looking boy back on his own impulsive thoughts.

He sighed for the nth time of that day, double checking for any mess littered around the small house before making his way through the door, not forgetting to announce his departure and whereabouts like he always did, closing the the door without waiting for a sign of acknowledgement.

Your dead anyway.
