Encanto imagines

When we were kids (Bruno x Male!reader)

(this was a request from my tumblr but i really liked how it turned out so why not post it here too) 

If your open for requests. Could you do some male reader ( or gn if your more comfortable) x Bruno who were secretly together before he disappeared? Like they'd know eachother since they were kids and reader was the only one not to judge bruno for his gift? Maybe they became very distant and cold to the rest of the madrigal family after Bruno left, blaming them for his leaving? Maybe them reuniting again? Idk, whatever your comfortable with doing 

YES! okay but yes yes yes. I didn't know if you wanted Bruno and reader to just be friends but I made them like kinda get together in the end because their story is so goddamn cute and I couldn't resist it. If you want it can just be a bromance yk:)

trigger warnings: I don't know but abandonment maybe?

Type of story: fluff, angst I think (I'm really new to this so if I say something wrong I'm sorry)

Pronouns: Bruno: He/him. Reader: he/him

I remember when we were kids, Bruno and I were best friends. We did everything together, I remember when he got his gift I was so happy for him, everyone was, at first..

"Bruno, will Marcus and I get married?"

"Bruno! I need to know if this date will turn out as I want it too"

"Bruno, can you tell me what's going to happen in the future"

It was so much pressure and I felt so bad for him. Everytime the future didn't turn out as they wanted they got mad at Bruno, like he was the one who made the future suck. I remember one day when I saw him at the river, he was crying.

"Bruno, what's wrong?" I asked him and when I sat down beside him he rested his head on my shoulder.

"My gift brings nothing but harm to my family" he said and I felt my heart sink to the ground at his words.
"Bruno... your gift is just as amazing as the others" I said and he looked at me with tears in his eyes.

"Thank you y/n" he said and smiled.

But this was before Mirabel's birthday, the day that she didn't get her gift and the day.. Bruno left. I tried talking to the family but they completely froze me out, they didn't tell me out loud but I knew they were blaming me for Bruno's disappearance. I wanted him back just as much as they did but they never let me explain. I sat by the river everyday the first 4 years, hoping he would just show up. Hoping he would just come back and tell me he wouldn't leave again. But that was a long time ago, by now I had already accepted the fact that he wouldn't come back.

Until one day, the madrigals house was falling apart and I didn't care that they didn't want me there I needed to see that everyone was alright, lucky enough no one was hurt, Camilo was the only one brave enough to ask who I was and Alma told him not to worry before turning to everyone and tell them to look for Mirabel.

"Is Mirabel gone?" I asked and Pepa turned to me.
"Don't you dare act like you care about this family! You made Bruno leave his own family!" She shouted and I looked at her with an angry expression.

"Everyone go look for Mirabel!" Alma said and everyone but Pepa left to look after her.

"YOU MADE MY BROTHER LEAVE!" she shouted once again and now I couldn't take it anymore.

"HE LEFT BECAUSE OF YOU! BECAUSE ALL OF YOU! HE WANTED YOU TO BE PROUD OF HIM BUT EVERY VISION HE HAD WAS USED AGAINST HIM! YOU NEVER BELIEVED IN HIM AND IT DESTROYED HIM!" I shouted back without thinking and pepa started crying.

"I didn't mean to- I'm sorry" I said as I turned around, I didn't want to make it worse so I decided to leave. But Pepa stopped me.

"Did he tell you he was going to leave?" She asked and I sighed.

"No, he probably knew I wouldn't let him. He didn't tell me anything" I said and my eyes teared up.

"Oh y/n, mama told me that you knew. I thought-" She started but I cut her off.

"You didn't know. None of us could know what he went through" I said and hugged her, she hugged me back and soon the other Madrigals turned up.

"I'm sorry y/n, I should've listened to you" I heard Alma's voice say behind me and it almost made me fall down on the ground. I couldn't believe Alma, Bruno's mama would admit she was wrong, and hear her apologizing? I thought I was hallucinating.

Then the unbelievable happened, I saw Bruno's face appear from behind the gate and I couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Bruno!" Was all I could get out before bringing him into a warm embrace. "I missed you" My voice was broken, my eyes were filled with tears and I could barely breathe.

"I've missed you too" Bruno said and I could hear how his voice broke too. I broke the hug and held his face in my hands, I kissed him and he seemed surprised at first but then he kissed me back, it was like all our memories together were playing on repeat in my mind. When we broke the kiss and turned around there were a lot of confused expressions.

"Okay so we're gonna talk about Bruno?" Camilo asked.

"That's bruno?" Antonio asked and pointed at bruno.

"And the kiss," Dolores said in confusion.

When Bruno and I were done explaining where he was and who I was, all of us rebuilt the casita with help from the other villagers. When Mirabel put her hand on the door it shined brighter than any of the other doors I've seen in the house. Everyone got their powers back and I was so happy for them and for finally seeing Bruno again. After that, me and Bruno were inseparable, just like when we were kids.
