Camilo x Reader 𝒪𝓃𝑒𝓈𝒽𝑜𝓉𝓈

~3~

'There is this boy I love. We're really good friends but none of our family members are allowed to know. Why? Because they hate each other for some reason and they won't tell us why. Well I know that they hate each other. He does not. At least he doesn't know that I'm part of the family he's supposed to hate. The boy being a Madrigal. Camilo Madrigal.'

It was a day like every other where they met up at their secret hideout, which wasn't really that secret at all. It was at a river behind the town being the only place where they  meet. Y/N was already there because they made sure that no one ever followed them and that no one gets suspicious when they see Camilo and Y/N walking to the same place.

"Hey, Y/N. Did you have to wait long again?", he asked while sitting down next to them.
" No don't worry. It's my fault that I show up so early every time", faintly smiling while looking at Camilo. They could stare into his eye the whole day and his smile made their heart melt. They really liked Camilo.
"I have a question.", he suddenly brought up
"Why don't we ever meet at one of our houses. Like we've known each other for so long, but I don't even know where you live or who your family is."

Y/N had a bad feeling that they had to tell him about their family today. But they didn't want to so they tried to change the topic. "The water in the river is colder as usual, don't you think?", hoping Camilo would forget about the question he just asked.
"And the weather is really pretty today, right?", trying to find more topics to distract Camilo but failing.

"Why are your trying to change the topic, it's not like you're a Y/Ln and we aren't really allowed to see each other", he tried to calm them down with that joke. Little did he know he was completely right. Y/N just let out a nervous laugh.

"Well it's exactly like that", they couldn't look him in the face and played with a bracelet around their right wrist. They were nervous because they didn't know how Camilo would react.
"Oh", that's all he said looking at his reflection in the water. He didn't really know what to say considering he only said that as a joke. It doesn't really matter for him because he didn't even know why he should hate them. The concerning thing for him was that he wanted to tell them how he felt today, but now it was almost impossible knowing that his family would be mad at him for falling in love with a Y/Ln.  

Both of them were just sitting at the river not saying a word. Y/N being extremely worried that the other one would start to hate them like he's supposed to do. That went on for at least 40 minutes until Y/N heard a familiar voice calling their name.
"Shit, what time is it? I think I should have been at home like 20 minutes ago.", they grabbed their stuff and started running "Bye Camilo. See you tomorrow", hoping he would show up then.
They ran as fast as they could before their father could find them with Camilo at the river.

"I'm here Papá! I forgot I had to go home earlier today" Y/N yelled as soon as they saw their father on a hill.
"Y/N! There you are. We were worried thinking you died", he over exaggerated.
"There's nothing to worry about Papá. Nothing bad could have happened ", Y/N smiled I little. 'Except probably loosing your best friend and person you're in love with', they thought to themselves.
"Let's go home now, your mother made food. They are waiting for us to come and eat with them."

At home everyone was waiting for the two of them. Their madre and hermanos. Their abuelos, tíos and primos. Y/Ns mother made Tamales and Mote de Queso. Y/N still wasn't in a good mood after what just happened.
"Everything ok, mija?" Y/Ns mother asked.
"Yeah everything is alright, mamá"

The next day Y/N went to the river hoping to see Camilo again and wanting to talk about what happened yesterday. When they arrived there Camilo was already waiting for them, looking like he's nervous.
"Hey Camilo", Y/N greeted him. "Listen about yesterday we don't have to hate each other just because the rest of our family does. I couldn't care less that you're a Madrigal"
"I don't really care either who your family is.", he didn't really look at Y/N.
"That's sweet. You're my best friend, I really wouldn't know what to do without you"

" No no you understood me wrong. I don't like you as a friend. I wanted to tell you yesterday but the situation wasn't right", he looked at the floor.
"Oh. So we're not friends anymore?", tears rushing into their eyes.
"Wait no. That's not what I meant. I don't like you as a friend but more than that.", he slowly looked at Y/N.
"Wait what?", Y/N wiped their tears away also looking at Camilo.
"I completely understand if you don't like me back. At least stay friends with me if you don't", he was putting on a smile.
Y/N also started smiling and went up to him, pulling him into a hug and whispering a small "I like you too".

After that they sat down on their usual spots, Camilo put an arm around Y/Ns shoulders. They didn't say a word for a long time. But it wasn't like the day before with it being awkwardly silent. It was more of a comfortable silence where they were just enjoying the other ones presence.
"How are we gonna tell our parents?", Y/N broke the silence. "Like they hate each other"
"I'm sure mine already know considering Dolores is in my family", Camilo joked.
