𝓔𝓷𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓭 | Camilo Madrigal x reader

03.

i woke up the next day to absolute chaos. The town was all cracked, and the skies were dark. The darkest clouds were over Casa Madrigal. I quickly got ready for the day, knowing I was going to have to deal with some awful stuff. There was a bang at my door, it opened to reveal none other than Camilo, of course. "y/n," he spoke, worriedly, "Mirabel is missing, Abuela and her got into a huge argument, our encanto is breaking, and i don't know who else to go to. Help me look for her, please, please." He had tears in her eyes, and i felt a pang in my heart. Something about seeing this sweet, sweet boy cry made me absolutely want to break. I embraced him in a hug, "i'll help you find her." He smiled at me, and then we left. We ran all over town, seeings everyones sad faces, people crying, getting ready to leave their home, asking Camilo what happened. By this point i realized i truly, truly love this boy. Seeing him upset hurt my soul, and I wanted- No i NEEDED to do everything in my power to make him happy. We kept walking, our voices hurt from screaming for her. It began raining, and Camilo fell to his knees. I looked at him confused, not knowing if he was being funny or fell from exhaustion, until I noticed that he was crying. Not a loud cry, or a big one.  A silent soft cry, blending in with the rain, as if he waited for the rain to come so he could let out his emotions, as if he was embarrassed of being human. I got down with him, not speaking a word. I wrapped my arms around him, putting my head on his shoulder, letting him cry into me. This was all i knew to do, I didn't want to make it worse, or make a mistake and make him hate me. We sat there in silence for only 10 minutes, but it felt like an eternity. We shot up when we heard a bell and kids screaming, "WE FOUND HER!!" they shrieked, and we ran to the remains of Casa Madrigal. We saw the entire family, Mirabel too. I stepped back to let the family have their moment, until Camilo pulled me next to him and Antonio. We looked at Mirabels side to see Bruno Madrigal himself. Camilo looked so confused, I couldn't help but chuckle. The family started singing, like they always do, and i stepped back, not wanting to ruin their moment. Mirabel walked up to me after and hugged me, thanking me for her help. "it's not a problem," i told her, "but i need to get home, it's late." She let me go and i went and found Camilo, asking him to walk me home, i needed to have a talk with him. Halfway to my house, i started speaking. "Camilo," I started, "Are you okay?" He looked puzzled. "Yes, i'm fine, why wouldn't i be fine? i'm perfect!" He laughed an extremely nervous laugh, and I felt bad for him. "Camilo are you sure? after what happened-" He cut my words short. "y/n, nothing happened. We don't speak of it ever again, okay?" I nodded, even though i knew he wasn't okay, and i wanted to help him. I couldn't pressure him. I waved him goodbye, and went back inside. I went to bed knowing what i had to do next.
