You had all stopped off to get food at a small restaurant, only wanting to stay for half an hour. Reiner wanted to get to the next campsite by at least 2pm. It was already half past 11am and the sun was beating down harshly. It had an affect on everyone's moods. It was hot and driving around all day wasn't exactly ideal. Of course there was the air conditioning, but it wasn't the most pleasant situation. Porco's mood got fouler by the minute, plummeting especially when the waitress messed up his order. Marcel had to stop him from causing a scene.
"I'm going with Reiner and Marcel." Colt whispered to you as you both watched Reiner and Marcel deal with Porco's tantrum.
"Fair enough. But I think it's just the weather and sitting down all day that's making him bitter." You replied. Colt shrugged and took a sip of his drink.
"I hope you'll be fine dealing with him." He said.
"I'm sure it'll be fine! I'll just try my best to not be annoying." You offered him a lopsided smile along with a little giggle. This caused the other three to turn around at the angelic chime of your laughter. Even Porco stopped growling to look at you. Marcel of course noticed it and nudged Reiner. He snorted lightly before poking Colt and pointing it out to him. The three of them just smirked. You were too busy with your drink that you didn't notice.

You all decided that you would drive for another two hours before reaching the place you wanted to camp at. This time you were heading out of the mountains whilst heading north, meaning you'd be diving at the beach.
"Oh I haven't been to the beach in a while." Colt said. His eyes shone with excitement when you mentioned it. The others all seemed relatively pleased with it. Well Porco was as hard to read as ever, but you didn't notice the furrow in his brow decreased a little when you said it. You clasped your hands and smiled.
"Alrighty then! Let's get going!" Marcel, Colt and Reiner made their way over to the van, Marcel's voice could be heard saying something about swimming and chairs. Or something along those lines. Porco trailed behind you, hopping into the passengers side. When you were both seated you smiled at him, causing his frown to lift slightly into a more neutral expression. You started up the car and steered out of the parking lot onto the road. About an hour had passed in total silence, the fact that you were both wearing sunglasses meant you couldn't read his expression properly. But the windows were down and was messing up his normally perfect hair, and his cheeks were flushed from the heat.

It was around twelve-thirty pm when it started.
You were innocently humming to "I'll Make a Man Out of You," from Milan. The hum of a deeper voice brought a small smile to your lips, but you refrained yourself from looking at him.
"Let's get down to business... to defeat, the Huns..."
"Did they send me daughters, when I asked for sons?" Porco finished the verse. The two of you drove a long singing Disney songs. You didn't look at each other once, you knowing that if you did, you would ruin the moment and Porco wouldn't be in the carefree mood he was in. The two of you went through at least one song from every Disney movie. From "One Jump Ahead" to "Once Upon a Dream." This continued for an hour until he started coughing.
"You okay?" You turned to him in concern. He nodded and lifted the corners of his mouth to a light smile.
"Just think I need something to drink." He murmured, a quiet cough escaping his chest. You furrowed you brows as you reached for your water bottle and handed it to him. He opened the lid with a small thanks and took a sip.
"Tea?" He asked, eyebrow raised.
"Oh! Yeah sorry. I forgot about that. I use tea infusers." He nodded and continued drinking.
"What flavour is it?"
"Rose lemonade. They don't have any sugar in them so they're a nice replacement for ice tea." You answered and he nodded his head in reply.

Third Person POV
Meanwhile, the other three boys in the van were acting like schoolgirls.
Gossiping.
"What do you think they're talking about?" Colt asked Marcel. Reiner shook his head at the two's gossiping, pretending to be unamused by the two when he was actually more than interested in the conversation.
"Well Porco was in a bad mood, so we don't even know if he's talking." Marcel sighed.
"I mean there's a high chance that she cheered him up. It's impossible to be negative around her." Colt said, biting into the chocolate bar he conjured out of thin air.
"She does have that effect, doesn't she." Reiner murmured, eyes trained on the road. A silence fell like a blanket over the boys as they thought of you. It was a warm fluffy blanket that drew out fond memories. Breaking out of their reminisce of the past, they continued their previous conversation.
"Well Marcel and I spoke about this a little earlier." Reiner said.
"About what?" Colt asked. He was sitting in the middle of the two as the van was built for three people at the front. He looked side to side at Marcel and Reiner.
"About the possibility of Porco and (Y/n) dating." Marcel answered, soliciting a gasp from Colt.
"They've known each other for three days, calm down!" Colt made a face.
"Yeah but like, they're perfect for each other. I hate to be this cliche but opposites attract." Marcel reasoned, causing Colt to sight and ponder over it for a little longer.
"I suppose it'd be a good relationship but what if Porco hurts her?"
"Then I'll probably poor cement down his anal cavity." Reiner immediately answered. Marcel made a face that said "McScuse me?" And Colt looked mildly disturbed.
"Well thank you Reiner for that lovely image." Marcel said rubbing his face. Reiner shrugged.
"I just mean that if he hurts little (N/n) in anyway, I won't hesitate to make him pay."
"Fair enough." Colt said and Marcel sighed.
"It is a possibility that it wouldn't work out. But (N/n) is far too sweet to let their friendship rot away." Marcel smiled at the boys. "She's far too amazing for that."
The other two smiled and agreed.

"Anyways what do you think they're doing?" Colt asked after a while.
"Hmm... check to see if either of them posted anything." Marcel pulled out his phone and started checking. Colt followed suit but came up short. After checking every social media platform, they sighed in defeat and Reiner shook his head.
"Her Spotify. Check her Spotify." He said. Colt's eyes widened as he got to it.
"So smart!" Marcel said.
"No way..." Colt started chuckling.
"What?" Marcel and Reiner asked curiously. Marcel peered over his shoulder to read what was displayed of the phone.
"Oh my gosh... they're listening to Disney songs."'
Reiner almost choked on air as the sentence was spoken.
"No way!" He laughed, slapping the steering wheel. The other two cackled loudly.
"Oh I'll never let him hear the end of this one!" Marcel said with a laugh.
"Oh my lord no look they're listening to "How Far I'll Go" No!" Colt hooted, tears falling down his face.
This wasn't going to end well...
