"Ummh When will the spectacle 'The Stars And I' will start?" A visitor asked

"It will start at 16h45. While waiting for the show you can enjoy a variety of other activities and don't hesitate to ask again for help"

Cami smiled and the other just thanked him before going off

It had not even been 1 hour since the festival started and he was already tired. It has been at least the thirteenth time someone asked him for the time of that show!

But it seems like everything was going well at least

Well if you took apart all the glances received from others

Seems like Cami had quite the look

Even if Cami didn't realized it himself that it was for that reason

Gently sweeping his long red hair out of his face, Cami sighed one more time at the view of someone else approaching

He took his business smile and went to the stranger

"Hello~ is there anything you need? Like some information about the different place you could visit?" Cami felt like a scammer talking like that

The cold looking women glared at Cami before looking down at her leg

Cami looked at the small child hiding behind his mother leg

'Ugh- so cute' his heart melted

"mmh... i-i would w-wan-t to k-know whe-re the pastry is?" Ugh still so cute

"Of course it will be in the unit food, at the back of it you will find the place specialized in sweet and you will have a lot of choice of pastry, some coming from the north and some from the east!" The kid looked so excited about it, so cute

"You hear that Raphael? A lot of sweet!" The cold looking woman changed to a kind looking one when talking to her son

'Uh- seems like not all of people in this world give weird ass name to their kids, seems like a good person'

The little kid and the mother then went to the place they wanted to go

He looked at them with sweet eyes

No matter how many time he had watched that scene it seemed that he would never taste even just a sample of a loving mother doting him? He had always been jealous of others kids when seeing it.

But the only warm he felt caused by his mother was the heat from an extreme fever that she caused to him by overworking himself or the heat of an open wound still fresh made from a stick hit on his hand and sometimes even on other parts of his body. Wield by his own mother to 'train' or even 'educate' him.

He wasn't jealous of that child like he would have been, kid. As long as other kids could feel that warm, then he was happy for them, not resentful. He hated his mother not the children who had loving mothers.

Cami wandered in the place full of people and noise while looking for a stranger in need.

Finally, he spotted someone looking...lost

He had dark green colored hair and light green eyes. Seems like every goddamn people in this world had some sort of good looking gene.

Cami went to him

"Hello? Is there something you need help with?" Cami asked with his habitual business smile.

The stranger looked at Cami like surprised before looking embarrassed

"Mmh- how do I say it.... I'm... lost?" Why such a big reaction? It's normal.

"Oh of course the building is big and you can loose yourself pretty easily"

The guy had a drop of sweat on his forehead

"Yeaaa... but I'm just really, really, really bad at direction. I was following my friends and... got lost" Cami got surprised before puffing a little

"Yes, anyway I'm here for this type of situation, tell me where you are supposed to go and I will help you find your way"

He thanked me with a bright looking face before bugging and started sweating a lot more

'What's the problem?' Cami thought

"Uhmm- uumh... the problem is..." Yess? The problem is??

"W-we didn't have a plan for going anywhere, we were just looking around and.. I got lost..." Ahh...

"Mmh then I have three solution:

First, I let you go and hope for you to find your friend while wandering.

Second, you wait in a place where you wait and hope to see someday your friends

And third, I give you a plan of the festival and you try to locate your friends in where you think they could be"

That guy seemed depressed

"The plan maybe?"I took out a plan and gave it to him, he looked at it for a while and then asked me where the entrance was on the plan...

When I tried pointing him where it was I noticed the plan wasn't even entirely open and he was holding it upside down.

"..." Cami thought about something for a while before opening his mouth

"You know what? Just follow me where I go and if you see your friends you can go to them and like that you will be able to visit. I will still have to work but it's the best idea I found for ...your case"

He looked at Cami with teary eyes before thanking him...a lot

"It's okay, it's my job anyway. I'm just making sure you have the best day possible at our festival"

Cami wandered with the guy and did his job multiple time,

The problem wasn't that the guy was mean or anything

But.. HE WAS GETTING LOST EVERY GODAMN SECOND!!

Cami just let his eyes on something else and the next second, that guy had disappeared. Each time at least he was able to find him rapidly but now he understood what he meant by 'being lost'

It would have been easier to have water on a leash than that guy not getting lost!

Cami found him again and lost patiente

He sighed "please, stop getting lost. Please stay by my side and don't wander. It's easy to notice me ,I'm like a walking red flag, literally. If you could make my job easier by not having to play hide and seek every second it would be appreciated "

He looked surprised for a moment

"sorry" Cami sighed and smile, this time not with his business smile but a real smile

"You don't have to apologize to me, just... please stop wandering so much around" he looked at him with those puppy like eyes

"Uh? Aristo? What are you doing here!? We were searching for you!" Seems like he found his friends

"Uh? Who is it ?" One of his friend asked when he noticed Cami

"Oh... he's the one who helped me because I was lost..."

They sighed all at the same time

"We're sorry for the trouble and thank you for helping out" Cami chuckled

"It's nothing, at least it wasn't boring and it's my job to do that"

One guy walked forward with a smiled and opened his mouth

"Could I know the name of my friend's savior?" It was a bit extreme to say a 'savior' but ok

"My name is Ca-...llisto, yes Callisto" 'AM I CRAZY!!?? I WAS GONNA SAY MY REAL NAME!! FUCK WHY AM I SO STUPID SOMETIMES??'

He considered Cami for a long time and finally took Cami's hand and kissed it

'Huh?' Cami bugged while the guy looked like he was taking pleasure from Cami's reaction

"My name is Aguael, I'm delighted to meet you" he leaned forward and his face came closer and closer to Cami face

But suddenly a hand came stoping the face and a dark aura came from the man blocking Aguael from Cami

"Stop" a shudder came to both of the guy and Cami raised his face to look at a pink haired boy with a tall build directing his rage to the guy making advances to Cami

Even with that hair color, and the ridiculous attempts to look like another person with some make up

Cami knew,

behind those pink hair were hiding silky like curly black hair and those purple eyes, those eyes that usually looked at Cami like he is the center of the universe. And that mole on his neck. That build and that slight scar near his left eye.

When Cami realized that Riley had came just like he said, his eyes relaxed and a gentle smile formed on his face

He giggled before opening his mouth

"You can stop now. I never thought you would have found me by yourself I was sure you would have never notice it was me" Cami took Riley's arm and slowly walked away from the group of boy not understanding what had happened but still punishing the guy that flirted with Cami.

Cami still had his smile on his face. Riley suddenly stopped walking, Cami wondering what caused Riley to stop walking.

"Cami..." suddenly he took Cami's arm and rushed to a place where no one could be seen and they entered an empty room.

"Uh? What are you doing Riley? And how did you recognized me? I was sure my disguise was perfect!" Riley looked at Cami with sweet eyes

"How could I have not recognized you? I pass my entire lunch looking at you. Your voice, the form of your eyes, your height, the way you walk, the form of your face and your hands. It's all so obvious that you're Cami. Thought I don't understand how YOU were able to understand it was me, I really put my all to disguise myself and when I finally found you, ...someone was flirting with you!"

Cami laughed sweetly

'nobody had been able to recognize me thought, it's not that obvious' Cami suddenly blushed at the idea of Riley memorizing his face so perfectly to even recognize him in that disguise

The two of them looked at each other with the envy of coming closer to each other.

(Little note: it's way more difficult than what I thought to write in 3rd point of view, and it doesn't make the result I thought it would make so I will return to 1st point of view)
