Fireheart: Camilo X Reader

Chapter 2

Narrators pov:

Ricardo was at Y/n's side as she slept, slowly stroking her hair debating on drawing a mustache on her flushed face. He would occasionally get up for bathroom breaks, stretching, and if there was a knock at the door. One of those knocks came from a certain Camilo Madrigal.

"Julieta asked me to bring Y/n this" he handed Ricardo a strange liquid sealed in a glass bottle "it will help cool her off for the party" he added, Camilo seemed anxious and filled with worry "Camilo is everything ok? You look like a re-" Ricardo was cut off by Camilo's curiosity "is she ok?—" He slipped through the door, passed Ricardo and into the casita "—it's just what happened at the river—what was it?" Camilo really was a mess he was pacing through the house in distress looking for answers.

"This kid" Ricardo mumbled, he strutted up to Camilo who was still pacing and grabbed his shoulders so that he was facing him "Camilo it is not my story to tell, you need to ask Y/n" Camilo started to walk to her room to start his long list of wonders "no Camilo she's sleeping let her rest" he pulled Camilo out of the house and told him farewell "oh on Camilo she'll tell you when she's ready" Camilo silently nodded and left the yard of the casita.

Y/n was gently shaken awake by Ricardo "no." She muffled into her pillows but Ricardo didn't move instead he threatened to dump water on her. She shot out of her bed and started to the bathroom "we have an hour before we have to get there...did you hear m-" he was cut off by Y/n screaming "YES I HEARD YOU" from her bathroom. He stopped at the door frame "this is from Julieta, it's supposed to help you stay cool" she snatched it from his hand and guzzled the liquid down "how do you feel?" He leaned into the room "great! Now leave I have to change" she hustled him out of the room and slammed the door shut.

She had put on one of her nicest dresses: it had delicate embroidery on it (courtesy of Mirabel) and a flowy F/c skirt, her primo had put tiny flowers in her hair and bobby-pinned a few places.

She wrapped herself round Ricardo's arm and they started to the Madrigal's casa. Their casita waved them well as they set off. The walk wasn't long nor tiring, the roads were packed though—the whole town had come for Antonio night. She squeezed Ricardo's hand and he squeezed her hand right back reminding her to stay calm "it will be fine fireheart!"

Fireheart—it was a name given to her by her family because fire was the gift she had the most difficulty with controlling so her parents teased her saying that it was because she was just so passionate, that she had a heart made of fire.

She got to the entrance and guess who was greeting people—Camilo. Sighed silently, she knew he was going to ask what happened with the fire and
she didn't want to get into that—not tonight at least. She shifted herself behind Ricardo praying to whoever would listen for Camilo to not see her. She could hear his voice grow louder 'he was approaching!!' She was internally screaming her mind racing. Her eyes were sealed shut 'if I can't see him he can't see me' her logic was dumb and she knew but hell what else could she do? There was a tap on her shoulder "um Y/n? You ok why are you hiding?" It was Camilo 'shit' I guess no one answered her prayer after all "oh hey Camilo long time no see" she started awkwardly laughing 'oh god this sucks' she was thinking—no everyone was thinking "—well I look forward to seeing you inside" he remarked as he gently kissed her hand—not a hug like the rest but a kiss on the hand.

Ricardo started pulling her inside, she looked back to see Camilo looking right at her. She didn't break eye contact—no she stared at him until he was out of view. Ricardo pulled her into a corner and began saying something but she didn't care she was floating off into thought. The way he had kissed her hand, the way his lips felt; soft and gentle different from when they were kids more passion. she wanted to feel those lips again.

"Y/n! Listen!" She snapped back to reality and looked back to Ricardo "he's not going to bring it up. He stopped by to drop off the bottle, he was asking a bunch of questions about what happened so I told him it's not my story to tell and you will tell him at your own time" 'did he really stop by asking about me?' She asked herself, "do you understand?" She took a couple seconds before responding "yes I understand" she left the corner with a huge smile spread across her rose covering face.

She saw her papá and ran up to him "papá!" She screamed as she wrapped him in a warm embrace "you're ok! I knew my fireheart was strong" he gave her a little wink and kiss on the forehead before directing her to Diego, her little brother. She walked up to him and scooped him up in a hug placing kisses on his flustered face "sisy let me go" he whined, she set him down but not before giving him a big kiss on the cheek "miss me?" Her smile turned into a sly smirk "ha no" and hissed crossing his little arms "oh I see" he knew he had messed up and needed to run before she could tickle him to death.

He was sprinting out of the casita with Y/n not far behind him, he passed the entrance and Camilo who was just about to walk into the casita himself. Y/n had grabbed his arm and was now tickling him to no end, she hadn't realized Camilo was right behind her until she gave Diego mercy and let him run back into the casita. She turned around to find Camilo giggling at her and her brother's interaction "what so funny?" She teased him but he couldn't stop giggling, she swagger up to him "stop laughing" she nudged him, she was going on about how he should stop laughing when he wrapped his arms around her waist and started tickling her "CAMILO!! LET ME GO!!" She whispered, he wasn't budging "Camilo! I'm going to ruin my dress!" He obeyed and stopped tickling her but kept his hands on her waist "you gotta admit it was pretty funny" he whispered into her ear "no, and you have to get to your
  brother it's almost 7:00" they said their farewells and parted ways.

She made her way back to her family on the right side 
of the aisle while the rest of the Madrigals were on the other side directly across. She saw Camilo's side of the family slip into the Madrigal group, his hand was being held by Julieta and just behind him was his prima Louisa, all of the Madrigals were bunched up together riddled with anticipation. The L/ns were in a similar position as Abuela Madrigal gave a speech about their miracle. When the speech ended Abuela Madrigal walked up the stairs to Antonio's door awaiting his arrival.

Antonio stepped out into the light, he was standing waiting to walk to his door but for some reason he couldn't move. Maybe he was petrified or stunned but Antonio Madrigal wasn't budging, not even as the casita moved the tile he was standing on, everyone's eyes were fixated on the little boy in front of them. Antonio shifted his body to face the hallway he came out of, he mumbled some words to a mystery person in the shadows none of the words Camilo or Y/n could hear. Out from the shadows came Mirabel she grabbed Antonio's hand and they made their way up the staircase before them. Abuela Madrigal's smile dropped when she saw Mirabel with Antonio.

Once they were at Antonio's door Mirabel stepped aside by Pepa and Felix while Antonio held the magical candle with his Abuela. She made him promise to do good with his gift that awaits him and he silently agreed. He placed his small hand on the handle to his door, as he did so the magic grew bright as a burst of energy flew out. Everyone gasped even Y/n.

A moment after a Tucan placed its bird feet on Antonio's outstretched arm, Antonio talked to the—he was speaking to it almost. Suddenly a swarm of animals raced through the casita and Antonio's gift was sealed—he could talk to animals. As he opened his door a jungle with a huge tree in it appeared before their very eyes Y/n rushed into the room to see Antonio riding on a Tiger he bounced from place to place all over his new room. He was about to go through a waterfall when Y/n used her gifts to make the waterfall stop in mid air so he wouldn't get wet. He seemed to enjoy her using her gifts like that so she made the vines and trees swing and toss him through the room and finally made him land on the Tiger that he rid on before.

Once Antonio was safe on the platform he ran up to Y/n and gave her a huge embrace "that was fun can I do that again?" He pleaded with her, she shook her head saying a silent 'no' the smile on his face dropped "maybe later" she added and she swagger to her Familia. Abuela Madrigal made a comment about a photo with the two families, the Madrigals and the L/ns all gathered into one big photo, she was in between her little brother and Tia. "Wait Mirabel isn't in-" Y/n began but was hushed Isabela, Mirabel gave Y/n a 'it's ok' smile but Y/n felt really bad she tried to tell her to get in the photo but it was too late the photo had been taken and Mirabel was gone
