i walked back to my tent in the darkness, making sure i didn't trip over any tent wires
i opened the door, trying my best to be quiet incase the boys were asleep already
then i heard a snore
just as i'd expected, all of them were fast asleep. understandable, they'd probably had a long day. i noticed that the snoring was coming from alexander's corner of the tent haha
lafayettes pov
all of my friends were asleep already but i just simply couldn't fall asleep. my mind was racing. where was y/n? she wasn't in her bed, what was she doing outside still?
my thoughts pondered else where for a while until i noticed someone undoing the tent zips- y/n.
she made her way across to her area of the tent, which was next to mine
"pssst y/n" i whispered
"oh hey laf" she smiled at me "are you okay?"
"oui i'm fine, i can't sleep that's all" i chuckle "and yourself?"
"oh yeah i'm good" she tucks a stray piece of hair behind her ear "i've just been exploring camp" she tells me as she takes out her night clothes from her bag.
"what do you think?" i say, still whispering
"i wouldn't go as far to say that it's great but it's not too bad" she laughs and i laugh with her. she swivels her finger, telling me to turn around as she starts getting changed.
her laugh was beautiful. no no no. i've not even known her for a day. i needed to pull myself together.
"well, goodnight lafayette" she says, getting into bed as i turn back around
"bonne nuit y/n" i smile at her
y/ns pov
i woke up, the boys were all still asleep.
i took this time to get ready for the day ahead, when i see a certain frenchman stretch and sit up
shoot
"laf don't look i'm getting changed!" i frantically say as i grab my bed sheet and put it infront of me
"oh-" he puts his hand over his eyes "je suis désolé!"
i laugh, "it's okay just give me one sec"
i put my corset and trousers back on and tell him he can look now
"i like your outfit" he smirks
"merci merci" i say as i jokingly curtsy
"what are you losers doing awake at this hour?!" hercules groans, half asleep
"mulligan i'm pretty sure it's past 8am" i laugh
"exactly" he replies and me and laf laugh (get it)
"ooooooo what are y/n and the baguette doing talking to eachother?" laurens says joining the conversation
he seemed surprisingly awake for someone who had just woken up
"exactly that mon ami" lafayette says as he gets out of bed and starts getting ready "we were talking"
"that's so cute" alexander stands up and gets out of bed "you guys will be great parents"
"alex!" i say, slightly taken aback
"calm it down they've only known eachother for a day" hercules says "but i agree" he adds with a smirk
"mulligan-"
"shhh y/n just because you don't have a talent for knowing what will happen in the future-" he begins but alexander cuts him off
"they'll have a big house and pets and a grand kitchen" alex says
"oo and a piano!" john chimes in
"you're all getting ahead of yourselves" i laugh and turn to face laf "they're all idiots" i say
"that i can agree with" he laughs back, offering his hand
i take it and we walk out of the tent, leaving the 3 boys shook
"INVITE US TO THE WEDDING" alex calls after us. i turn to laf and roll my eyes, he laughs.
"where are we actually going laf?" i asked him
"not sure, just wanted to prove a point to idiot 1, 2 and 3" he says, gesturing to the tent.
"fair enough" i giggle
"actually" he thinks for a second, "i know a spot" he turns to me and smiles "this way" and leads me to a forest.

5 minutes pass
"are you sure you know the way.." i ask as he walks infront of me, my hand still holding his.
he turns around, drops his hand and stops so that we're stood just a centimetre apart "are you questioning my navigational skills ma cherie" he asks, smirking
"potentially" i jokingly say
he laughs and keeps walking, i trail behind.
-
"here we are" laf says after ten more minutes of walking and me complaining
i look up, a dozen of gorgeous pink blossom trees surrounded a beautiful blue lake. daffodils covered the floor and there were some tulips dotted about. my favourite flower.
he turns around to face me, a huge grin spread across his features "what do you think mon ami?"
"laf i- it's beautiful" i stutter, at loss for words
"like you then" he smirks was this a french thing?
butterflies. y/n, no. you barely know him.
i look into his eyes. he's so gorgeous though..
shut up y/n.
i flush pink as i playfully smack him "shut up laf"
our eyes meet. we stay like that for what feels like hours- however, only a few seconds pass when i hear a voice yell "OI IMMIGRANT"
way to ruin the moment.
wait a second i recognise that voice..
charles lee. greaaaaat.
