Malachi shrugged, pocketing his hands casually. "I'm just looking for Y/n."

Malachi examined Camilo's appearance a bit. "You like her," he stated, without a doubt in his voice.

Camilo's eyes widened, a bit taken aback. "Wh- I mean- So what if I do?"

Malachi smiled a bit, going closer to Camilo so they could converse without having to talk too loudly. "I do too. But I don't think she likes me that way. So you should go for it, alright? Confess," Malachi encouraged, patting Camilo on the shoulder. "Make her happy." For both of us.

Determination came over Camilo's features as he gave a nod to the other boy. "I will."
