One stray tear

-+-Third POV-+-

Y/n held Camilo as tight as they could, taking in everything around them. They cherished every second with him and melted in his touch.

They both pulled away from each other after an embrace that lasted a few moments more than usual. Camilo stared longingly into their eyes, making sure to never let go of this feeling. He placed his arms around their waist and pulled them close.

Y/n inched closer to him and wrapped their arms around his neck. They were so close now that they were basically on top of each other. Y/n's heart rate was increasing quickly.

Before Y/n could react, Camilo's eyes started to water. It wasn't noticeable at first but it was their. Y/n kept looking into his eyes as he continued looking down. He let one stray tear fall. //Shout out to anyone who read my other book and knows what I'm talking about!//

Y/n wiped it away with their hand and held with face. He leaned into it, smiling at their kindness. He looked back up to them and immediately started crying harder.

"I don't know who I am anymore! I was so convinced that I was me but now I don't even think that's true. This whole 'people pleaser, shapeshifter boy' act is too much for me!" He squeezed Y/n's waist as he dropped his head on their shoulder.

Y/n stoked his hair, running their hands along his scalp and through his hair. Camilo just kept quietly sobbing into their shoulder. He felt so guilty for keeping it to himself, but he couldn't be brave enough to tell anyone.

He kept talking for a while and letting his emotions out. In the end, it did help a lot. He pulled away and wiped his tear stained cheeks with his sleeves.

"It feels good to tell people about it, doesn't it?" Y/n smiled. "Well, no matter what, you will always be the most amazing soul to have ever been created in the entire universe. Even if you don't know it."

Camilo was truly grateful to have someone like Y/n in his life that would voluntarily listen to him. He was so embarrassed too that he hid his face in his hands to hide his ever-growing blush.

Y/n reached over and pulled his hands from his face, holding them in their own. They pulled one to their face and kissed it. Camilo was so startled that he froze.

They laughed out loud before falling back onto the bed. Camilo finally unfroze and lay his head on Y/n's chest and held their hand. Y/n tried to push him off but soon realised he was fast asleep and too heavy.

They gave in, closing their eyes and letting their mind envelope them with a cool sensation, easing them into the comforting feeling of sleep.
