———————————

It was widely known knowledge that the famous but young musician C/N C/L/N was going to be a part of the popular national summer camp - Camp Rock. His uncle was the owner and leader of the music camp; a wealthy and successful music producer, which played a huge part in C/N's own success. Y/N was one of the lucky few to win a full scholarship for the camp.

The camp was mainly something paid for, but a few scholarships were available each year for people to compete for. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity - as scouts were consistently visiting the camp to sign new and upcoming musicians to their label.

When Y/N arrived, she didn't expect the place to come across so normal, but was relieved it did. She checked in and set up in her dorm room, of which she was sharing with a girl named B/N. They talked briefly before B/N had to go and call home to reassure them she arrived safely, so Y/N took the opportunity to explore the campus before dinner. She walked down to by the lake, which had woods situated just next to it and an old unused path running through. Y/N decided to follow the path as curiosity got the better of her.

Music met her eardrum as she walked further along - maybe the path wasn't as unused as she originally thought, the overgrown shrubbery and protruding tree roots had just suggested it wasn't popular. The sound was the gentle strumming of a guitar and a soft voice that seemed incredibly familiar. Except, the voice didn't seem to be in its usual context.

Y/N peered around a thick tree to see none other than C/N C/L/N sat on a stump with what appeared to be a well-loved guitar. i.e. it was visibly worn and covered in stickers and carvings. The genre of the music was far from his normal mainstream pop music she heard on the radio - it had a much softer almost rock-like tone to it, but not entirely.

When he finished the song, he seemed to stare solemnly at the ground for a few seconds, before he noticed Y/N who had moved further out from behind the tree. He was clearly surprised, and unsure of what to say, so Y/N took the lead.

"Uh, that was really good," she said quietly.

"Oh, thanks," he forced a little smile, "How much of it did you hear?"

"The last couple verses, I didn't- I didn't wanna interrupt you..."

He shrugged, "It's fine, what's your name?"

"Y/N."

"I'm C/N."

"I know," she said gently, "Why don't you- why don't you release music like that?"

"I'm a pop musician, not whatever genre this is."

"Don't only you get to decide what music you release?"

He looked at her, as if trying to evaluate her intentions.

"Sorry, I'll- I'll go, I didn't mean to bother you."

"Wait-"

And like that, she was gone.

***

C/N didn't eat dinner in the main hall with everyone else, but he was introduced to them properly the next day during a producing crash course. Sure enough, everyone got pretty excited and began begging for autographs and photos. He obliged, as B/N turned to Y/N.

"Are you gonna ask for one?"

Y/N shook her head, "I'm a fan - don't get me wrong - I just don't wanna annoy him, he's probably fed up of people asking." She had told B/N about the encounter the night before.

"Fair, I guess I won't either then."

"Don't let me stop you-"

"No, I think sometimes it's better to enjoy the moment than get proof of it for future anyway."

Later that day, Y/N was sat in one of the many studio rooms recording and editing a song she had written before the camp. It was a luxury to finally have access to official producing equipment, and she was forever grateful.

(A/N: use the song at the top for reference)

She played through her first production of the song, already quite happy with how it had turned out.

"You're one of the scholarship people, aren't you?" a voice from behind startled her. She turned around to see C/N leaning in the doorway.

"Oh- yeah, yeah I am."

He nodded, "The song's really good, you know."

"Oh, thanks - it's the main song on an album I'm putting together."

"How many songs have you got so far?"

"Eight, I just want two more at least."

He moved to sit beside her, "Can I help?"

***

As the weeks went by, they grew closer. Y/N couldn't help her heart from fluttering whenever he sighed in relief at seeing her and not someone else. She truly felt special to be someone that the famous C/N C/L/N wasn't stressed out to see. One thing she learned was that his personality was much more relaxed and humorous than she saw on television and social media. She didn't blame him for being exhausted with putting on an act of confidence and sophistication all the time.

When the end of the camp was nearing, Y/N felt like she had produced an album she was happy with, but was unsure of her next step. She kept herself locked away all the time, so the scouts had never seen or heard her. B/N, however, had been happy to accept a contract from an independent label, as that was the route that she wanted to go for.

C/N and Y/N sat out back on the stump in the woods the day before they had to leave, talking casually when she brought up how she didn't know what to do with the album.

"Just play it for my uncle."

"How exactly am I supposed to do that?"

"I'll tell him to listen, he's loved all the music you helped me write for my next EP - he's obviously gonna love your album."

"You think?"

"Yeah, I do," he smiled, "It's not just that - the past few weeks you've helped me become myself again and reminded me why I follow a career in music, the least I could do is help you get started."

Y/N beamed, "Can I- can I tell you something?"

"Sure."

"I like you- really like you... and not just as a fan- or a friend."

The blank look he gave her left her regretting what she had said, but soon his lips were touching hers gently as his hand cupped her face. "I really like you too."

She found herself moving into his embrace.

"I'm glad you won the scholarship, you know, otherwise none of this would ever have happened."

"Wait- does this mean I'm dating the C/N C/L/N of what?"

He laughed.
