you belong with me
"can't you see that i'm the one who understands you"
"been here all along so why can't you see"
"you belong with me"
pairings: cam cameron x fem!reader
warnings/tags: fluff with a hint of angst. some belly slander (sorry not sorry).
summary: after cam gets rejected by belly, he goes to seek the comfort of his best friend.
cam stood frozen, watching belly walk away, her parting words lingering painfully in the summer air. “i’m sorry, cam. i can’t do this anymore.” the ache in his chest was profound, like a wave crashing over him, threatening to pull him under.
belly had always been elusive, her heart torn between conrad and jeremiah. he had known this, but he hoped he could be different, that he could make her see him. but in the end, he was just another fleeting moment in her complicated love life.
feeling lost, he pulled out his phone and sent a quick message. “y/n, can you meet me at my place?”
your heart ached when you saw the message. you were in love with cam, but he had never seen you that way. still, you were his best friend, and you would be there for him, no matter what.
you found cam sitting on the porch of his house, staring out at the ocean. his face was a mask of sorrow. your heart broke for him, but a small part of you couldn’t help but feel a flicker of hope now that belly was out of the picture.
“hey, cam,” you said softly, sitting beside him. “what happened?”
cam sighed heavily. “belly broke up with me. she said it wasn’t working out.”
you rolled your eyes. “belly doesn’t know what she wants. she’s always been like that. you deserve so much better than her, cam.”
cam looked at you, a sad smile on his face. “thanks, y/n. i just don’t get it. what did i do wrong?”
you took a deep breath, deciding to take a chance. “you didn’t do anything wrong. belly is just… she’s always chasing after things she can’t have. she didn’t appreciate you the way you deserved to be appreciated. you’re amazing, cam, and you need someone who sees that.”
cam’s eyes softened. “you really think so?”
you nodded, your heart pounding. “i know so. and i… i need to tell you something. i’ve been in love with you for a long time, cam. i’ve tried to be happy for you and belly, but it’s been hard. i just... i think you belong with someone who truly appreciates you. someone like me."
cam looked stunned, processing your words. you quickly added, “but i understand if you need time to heal. i don’t expect anything right now. i just needed you to know how i feel.”
cam stared at you, his mind racing. your confession had taken him by surprise, but it also felt like a missing piece falling into place. he reached out, taking your hand. “y/n, i… i’ve been in love with you too. i think i’ve always known, deep down. belly was… she was a distraction. i think i was just trying to convince myself i didn’t feel this way about you, but i do. i think always have.”
your eyes filled with hope and apprehension. "i don't want you to think you're in love with me, cam. i want you to know, without a doubt. just like i do."
before he could respond, you stood up, your heart heavy. "i'll give you some space. i think you’ll need it."
you began walking toward your car, but cam quickly followed. "y/n, wait."
you turned to face him, a mix of hope and fear in your eyes. he stepped closer, his voice earnest. "do you want to know how i know i’m in love with you? it’s because of your kindness, your patience, and your understanding. you've always been there, even when i was too blind to see it. i’ve never met anyone like you. and i don’t want to. i don’t want to meet anyone else. you’re it for me."
your eyes filled with tears of joy as you realized that he truly felt the same way.
you ran to him, throwing your arms around his neck as your lips met in a passionate kiss.
when the two of you finally pulled apart, cam held you close, whispering, "i love you, y/n. i always have. i’m so sorry for not realizing it sooner."
you smiled through your tears, your heart full. "i love you too, cam. and it’s okay. thanks for finally seeing me."
as you kissed him again, the sun dipped below the horizon, symbolizing the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. you knew that whatever the future held, the two of you would face it together, better than ever before.

Battle Of The Bridges: Round 3!
Fearless
Well, you stood there with me in the doorway
My hands shake, I'm not usually this way
But you pull me in and I'm a little more brave
It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really somethin'
It's fearless
Oh, yeah
You Belong With Me
Oh, I remember you
Driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're 'bout to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me
