He wraps his arm around my shoulder. "Alright! Let us get going now!" He said. "Yeah!" Mirabel and Antonio cheers. I smile at them and we start walking away. It's been a year since the last time I see C/N. I wonder what change.

-What's Happening Here?!-

Y/N P.O.V

3 days have passed since we left Encanto. Which means, we should be able to see C/N anytime now. The others seem pretty tired though. I can't blame them... after all, this is probably the first time since they left their hometown.

"How are you able to travel this far?" Camilo said. He have his head laying on my lap as we are taking a short break. I shrug my shoulders at his comment. "It was a struggle..." I said, honestly. He gives me a worried gaze.

"I can't imagine what you were going through back then... it must have been so hard on you. So hard that it drove you away from that village" Mirabel said. "Yeah... the only thing on my mind back then was to get away from that place. And if it weren't for my dad's death anniversary, I wouldn't want to even step a foot in that place" I said, nodding my head.

Camilo sits up and scoots to sit next to me. He wrap an arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer. I just bury my face into the crook of his neck. He tightens his arms as an attempt to comfort me.

"It's okay, Y/N... it's in the past now" he said. "It won't be in the past for long. I'm sure as soon as we get there... they would start throwing insults at me again" I said. My eyes widen as I realize something.

"Oh dear God! I'm so stupid!" I said, smacking my forehead. "Hey. Hey hey hey... stop it!" Camilo said, grabbing onto my hand. Mirabel stares at me with a worried gaze. "Why are you hurting yourself, Y/N?" She said.

"Why didn't I think about it before?? If they treat me like a freak. They would do the same to you guys!" I said. "I don't think they will do the same... at least not with me. I'm just a normal kid. Even so... they won't dare. Back then it was only you. But now... Camilo and Antonio is there too" she said. I let out a groan.

"Oh great! They would fear us instead... that's even worse!" I whined. She lets out a sigh and hugs me. "Calm down, Y/N. It's going to be alright" she said. Even though she said that, I can still feel myself panicking at the thought of how those people will treat them.

"She's right, mi vida. Calm down. Deep breath in... deep breath out" Camilo said. I let out a sigh and take a couple of deep breaths. After a couple of it, I manage to calm down. Camilo smiles and pulls me into a hug.

"We... we should just go back to Encanto..." I said. Camilo frowns at what I said. "No, Y/N. You said you want to visit your father's grave. So we have to go... it only happens once a year. You've missed one last year. You felt guilty about it, no? Don't let yourself regret it again" he said. "He's right, Y/N... we have to go. Besides, we're almost there, right?" Antonio said.

"See? Even Antonio thoughts so..." Camilo said. I look at them back and forth. I let out a sigh and nod my head. "Alright..." I said. "Now that's the Y/N I know! That's my girl~" Camilo said, making me blush. I bury my face in his chest, which makes him chuckles.

"We should probably set a camp. It's starting to get pretty late" Mirabel said. I look up at the sky and nod my head. "I'll handle it..." I said. I take out my sketch book and draw a tent.

I run my hand across the page. A tent slowly appear in front of us. I point my hand at the tent and focus on duplicating it. I move my hand, pointing the palm of my hand to another spot. A second tent starts to appear.

"I don't think I'd ever stop being amazed by that! Y/N... you have an AWESOME gift!" Antonio said. I let out a giggle and ruffle his head. We bid each other goodnight and make our way inside the tent. Mirabel and Antonio will be sharing a tent. I'll be sharing a tent with Camilo.

The inside of the tent is already completed with the sleeping bags. I lay down in one of them. Camilo moves his sleeping back close to me. He turns his body to face me. He takes my hand in his and holds it close to his chest.

He place a soft kiss on the back of my hand. "I love you, Y/N..." he said. "I love you too, Camilo..." I said. He smiles and leans in to place a soft kiss on my lips.

He pulls away and closes his eyes. I can hear a soft snore coming from him as he drifted off into sleep. I close my eyes and try to fall asleep. But I starts to shiver from the coldness. I open my eyes and looks at Camilo. I bit my lips as I contemplate.

In the end, I slowly crawl out of my sleeping back. I climb inside his and cuddles close to his chest. I feel his arms wrapped themselves around my waist. He holds me tightly, making me feel safe and secure. I instantly feel warmth spread around my body. I smile to myself and snuggle closer to him. I close my eyes and finally drift off to sleep.

***

We continue walking again, after a while of resting. I have my hand in Camilo's. He would give my hand a gentle squeeze every once in a while. But mostly when he feels my hand tensing up. 

I let out a laugh as Camilo turns himself into a man I don't know. But that's not what makes it funny. It's the fact that he acted as if he's drunk. He turns back to his real form and laugh along with me.

I turn to look forward and stops laughing. I stare at the sight in front of me in complete shock. Camilo looks at me in confusion. He turns to look forward and gasp.
