Fireheart: Camilo X Reader

Chapter 6

Y/n's pov:

I followed the energy—the magic I ran all crossed the casita trailing it and it led me to Tonito's door. 'He's in here' I knew he was. I don't know if anyone else could feel the energy but I could—I know it's real.

I burst through the door to find sand all around Mirabel, Antonio, and "Bruno!" I screamed as I raced to his side "Y/n!" I gave him a tight embrace as did he. We stayed together until Mirabel interrupted us with a cough. "Wait" I pushed him away at the realization "where were you? Why did you leave? Why are you here now?" I yelled looking for answers, I gave me a pitiful smile "my dear Y/n, I never left. I've been here living in walls and I left because of the visions so that you wouldn't be hurt, Mirabel wouldn't be blamed. I'm here to help" unwanted tears started down my cold face. 'He left because he didn't want to hurt me.' He cupped my face and gave me a flower—the same flowers he used to give me when I lost control "I've missed you!" I gave him one last hug before turning to Mirabel "how do we save your miracle?"

We were all hiding on the second floor just down the way from Isabela's door, "wait so to save your family's miracle you have to hug your sister?" Both Bruno and Mirabe gave me a strong nod and went back to staring at the room in front of us "wait but why would th-" I was hushed by Mirabel as Camilo came into the courtyard below us yelling for Mirabel 'people were still searching for her?' "Y/n go distract Camilo!"
"What no!"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Y/n!"
I took a sec before agreeing "fine." And ran to the first floor. She noted that she'll get me if she needs help.

"Camilo" I called to him, he quickly shifted to face me "Y/n!" He scooped me up in an embrace; his warmth was nice—comfortable even. I peered over his shoulder to see Mirabel opening Isabela's door 'good she was in the clear.' I tried to let go of the warm hug but Camilo wouldn't let me go "Camilo you have to set me down eventually" and said to him, I could already picture his eyes rolling at my comment "says who?" He was squeezing my body tighter indicating 'no way I'm I letting you go' "I say, so Camilo Madrigal set me down" but he didn't instead he took me out of the casita and to the side of the house where he then set me down

"What are we doing out here?" I questioned, he sat me down in a bed of flowers and pushed my hair behind my head "Y/n, can you please tell me what is going on, with the out of control fire? The vision? Everything?" I sighed, I didn't want to hurt him with the truth, I wanted him to be happy and not have to worry "ok well I guess I should. Camilo I have always had trouble with controlling my gift, it's affected by my emotions just like your Mamá, fire being the trickiest one to handle. As for the vision—Camilo I don't know for sure but I think it means I'm going to die." I could see the tears starting in his eyes "don't cry Camilo, we don't know for sure and who knows maybe we can change it" he wrapped his body around mine and pulled me closer, he kept his head close to my chest and stayed like that for a bit.

"Ya know Camilo" he lifted his head off my chest to look at me "I remember very clearly when your brother was born" I said as I saw Antonio walking to town in the distance, Camilo started fiddling with me hair "I remember clearly too" he added, it felt like he was putting my hair into a braid "well Camilo it was a Monday, and my mamá had came running in to our casita telling us the knews, god I remember how happy I was for her—for you, we all ran to her casa a fast as we could my Abuelo being bitter the whole way, and when we got there I saw how happy your were and I don't know I felt this joy—for you not me" he started to laugh as did I, he pushed a fallen piece of hair out of my face and cupped my cheek "if I remember you were the one who came up with the nickname Tonito" I gave him a "mhm" and went back to picking flowers "I remember when your brother was born, it was a Saturday and my Mamá wanted us to be the first to visit so she rushed us out of the casita though my Abuela stayed behind, and when we got there you were holding him we this huge smile, and the way you were holding him—I could tell you were going to be the best older sister" I gave him a kiss on the cheek and a little thanks, his cheeks went blood red, he hid his face with his poncho "is it h-hot out here it feels hot" he fanned himself trying to make the blushing flood away "here" I made the wind pick up making a cool breeze kiss our faces.

"Hey, Y/n" he asked, I was still a little consecrated on the wind "yes" not making eye contact, he started rubbing the back of the head "do you remember our gift ceremonies?" He started to awkwardly laugh as if he were to ask something embarrassing "did you have fun?" 'What was he getting at?' I looked at him and gave him a snarky smile "who's asking" he fell back pretending to be wounded "ouch. Stealing my own pick out lines" as my eyes widened 'did he realise what he just admitted to?' "AHA SO YOU WERE FLIRTING" I shot up and started dancing around "no, no I wasn't—I was—I mean" I started laughing at his confusion.
" liar, you were so flirting"
"No I was not"
"Lair, liar pants on fire"
"Oh shut it"
He grabbed my hand and pulled me closer, "liar" I whispered one last time, he started to tickle me to death—to get me to beg for mercy. "Stop—please—I'm sorry" and gave me a mischievous smirk "say please one more time" I gave him an elbow to the ribs and he let go "ouche" he rubbed the area where I struck.

"That's what you get Camilo Madrigal" he rolled his eyes and went back to studying me—my figure. I gave him a little smack—not enough to hurt him just enough to get me point across "hey me eyes are up here" we laughed it off.

He laid my head in his lap and started playing with my hair as I stared up to the blue open sky. I could feel him doing little designs like ponytails, braids, pigtails, etc. "Camilo, I like your eyes" he giggled at the new complement, "what's so funny?" I asked, crossing my arms, he continued laughing at my words "it's just no one has ever said that to me" I gave him a puzzled look 'wait really?' I thought "well people should." I gave a stern "humpf"

I shot up to hear Mirabel and Isabela singing a song...together. "Camilo" I grabbed his hand and pulled him up "do you hear this?" He gave me a silent yes.

I felt vines wrap around my torso and left me up to the roof to see the two sisters kicking paint plants around, the vine set me safely on the roof and waved me adieu, Isabela waved me over and I gladly joined the fun. "What can you do when you are deeply, madly, truly in the moment?" They sang together, holding each other "Seize the moment, keep goin'" I sang with, "What can you do when you know who you wanna be is imperfect?" The powder from the flowers had ruined Isabela's dress but she could have cared less. "But I'll still be okay," Isabela sang.

"Hey, everybody clear the way, whoo!" I added on to her melody "I'm coming through with tabebuia" she was flourishing—she was her imperfect self "she's coming through with tabebuia" Mirabel and I added on.
"Making waves"
-"Making waves"
Isabela was now guiding us to in front of the candle on her vines.
"Changing minds"
-"You've changed mine"
All of us began hugging each other tightly.
"The way is clearer 'cause you're here, and well
I owe this all to you"
The candle grew brighter and the cracks started to fade away.
"What else can I do?"
-"Show 'em what you can do"
"What else can I do?"
-"There's nothing you can't do"
We began falling into the center of the casita into the pile of flowers.
"What else can I do?"

"You're a bad influence" Isabela chuckled, we all started giggling at the fun we just had when "what is going on?" Alma yelled at us, we all stood up trying to explain ourselves "Abuela. It's okay! Everything's... We're going to save the miracle. The magic..." Mirabel started but was cut off by Alma screaming "what are you talking about? Look at our home. Look at your sister." Mirabel paused at the outburst, Isabela curled up onto herself trying to look for the "perfect Isabela" "please just... Isabela wasn't happy"
"Of course she wasn't happy you ruined her proposal"
"No, no, no. She needed me to ruin her proposal. And then we did all this. And the candle burns brighter and the cracks..." she went on trying to plead her case "you have to stop, Mirabel!"
