Gifts of the candle

This story uses They/Them pronouns :)

Third person pov:
y/n was gently woken up by their father telling them they should start getting ready. They were in a slight daze at first, then snapping back to reality remembering that they were going out to see the gifting ceremony of Camilo Madrigal.

Camilo and y/n had only been best friends a couple months but were super close. Like inseparable.
Y/n hopped out of bed and their mother helped pick out a nice (f/c) dress and do their hair. Once y/n was ready, all of the family met in the kitchen. Everybody was rounded up into the carriage and led up to Casita. The family finally arrived and y/n waited at the bottom of the stairs for tia Pepa and tio Félix.

Camilo pov:
I was with mama and papa who were helping me get ready for my gift ceremony. I was really excited but nervous at the same time, making me feel quite sick. Y/n promised to stand up by the door with me, so if i panicked they'd be there.

Mama began to drizzle while telling me "you're all grown up", which resulted in papa having to shoo away the rain cloud. Then mama and papa said they'd be waiting at my door and left. I was super nervous by this point but excited anyway. I watched in awe as the curtains pulled back and abuela started to make her way to the top of the stairs. I started to walk with my chest puffed out to look cool, and i really think it was working.

Dolores pov:
it. was. not.

Camilo pov:
getting to the top of the stairs and internally panicking, i looked at y/n who grinned at me and nodded assuring me i'd be okay. Looking back at abuela i said " i promise to help the community and to strengthen our home", then i went to open the door. Watching the glitter swirl around the door i panicked and with my free hand i grabbed y/n hand. Then the glitter shot back from the door revealing my gift, I COULD SHAPE-SHIFT. I then realised at the bottom of my door it said "el regalo es entre dos, y/n y tu" (the gift is between two, y/n and you) I couldn't read properly yet so i just didn't think anything of it but abuela had a shocked look on her face so i thought it was something bad.

I opened my door and grinned massively at y/n who was grinning back. We saw my room had several spaces; a place where my normal room stuff went in the centre, a joined bathroom, a room full of mirrors, a room with a massive glass terrarium (enclosure) with a chameleon in it, a room that shape-shifted into the room of the person i shape-shifted into, and a big closet full of yellow ruanas. I was running around with y/n just behind me when abuela screamed "DIOS MIO L/N'S LEAVE OUR CASITA NOW"

Y/N pov:
Hearing abuela alma yell my last name made me look up, and i see her glaring at me. Before i knew it papi had grabbed me and placed me on his shoulders. I shouted back to Camilo "CAMILO IM SOWWY " (remember y/n is still four at this point bad speech and all that ✨jazz✨)

Papi then told me i was forbidden to see Camilo until further notice...

Camilo pov:
abuela told me i was forbidden to see y/n...
