Love's Premonition (Bruno Madrigal x Fem Reader)

14

For a moment, Y/n was too busy trying to wrap her mind around the fact that Dolores and Isabela had a bet over whether or not she and Bruno were together to register that Bruno was hiding behind her, blushing too hard for him to let his family see.

"Camilo, you troublemaker," muttered Y/n. Then, in a louder voice, "We are not together- Dolores does not owe you money."

Isabela smirked at that. "I'm not so sure."

Antonio walked out of his room with a rat in hand. "The rats say Camilo is right."

"Hey- what?!" Bruno burst out, stepping into view. He sounded offended that the rats had said such a thing. He had thought they were friends..

"They said that Bruno had a vision of him kissing-" Somehow, Bruno was next to the kid in a flash, covering his mouth.

"The rats are wrong, they have very bad vision and are making things up," said Bruno.

Pepa had apparently decided that this much evidence was enough. "Honestly, I'm just surprised it took you two so long. "Y/n, Bruno has had a crush on you since he was a kid. It's amazing it's only now coming up."

Bruno regretted ever telling Pepa anything as a child. "I did not! Pepa is a liar!" he proclaimed loudly.

"What is all this noise?" asked Mirabel, coming out of her room, which, like Y/n's, had been built as a bedroom when the Casita was built, separate from the nursery.

"Y/n and Bruno have just been revealed as a couple!" said Camilo excitedly. "You guys didn't believe me, but I was right!"

Mirabel's eyes widened. "Wait- they weren't already a couple?" Since they had been spending so much time together, Mirabel just assumed they were already dating, since to her it was obvious they liked each other.

"We. Are. Not. Together," said Y/n. "Why does nobody believe us??"

"She's just a friend," said Bruno. "And- wait- Camilo, how did you know where we were earlier?"

"I- may have been covering a couple shifts at that restaurant," Camilo admitted.

That explained the weird looks from the host and waiter, at least.

"Besides, if it wasn't a date, why were you two holding hands?" asked Camilo smugly.

Isabela was evidently still convinced that she had won her and Dolores' bet. "You can't hide it any more guys, the secret is out."

Bruno had let go of Antonio, who was looking a bit disgruntled that he had been stopped from speaking. "There is no secret! We're not a couple."

Julieta decided it was time to step in. "Clearly this argument is going nowhere, why don't we just all go back to what we were doing?"

Y/n had never been more grateful for the power Julieta had for ending arguments. Mirabel turned and went back into her room, Camilo grumbled and headed towards his, and Pepa, Felix, and Isabela went back to whatever they were discussing before. 

There were some glances towards Y/n and Bruno as he returned to her side and Antonio went back into his room, but nobody said anything else.

Neither Y/n nor Bruno looked at each other, instead preferring to stare at the ground. Both of them were blushing a deep shade of red, which they were sure had not helped in their attempts convincing the family.

"I should-" both of them started at once.

"Oh, you go first," said Y/n.

"I- I was just gonna say I should get back to looking into the future- you know, for the family and stuff," he said without looking at her. 

"O-oh, yeah, I was just gonna go back to my room," said Y/n. They awkwardly parted ways, each going into their respective rooms.

With Y/n

That was painfully awkward. Camilo could be so annoying- no, she couldn't blame him for this. Y/n sat down on her bed, deep in thought.

It was true they had ended up in a rather.. compromising position, but that didn't mean anything! They were just friends, like Bruno had said. Neither of them felt romantically for the other, they were just best friends.

.......

Right?

Am I going crazy? Why am I always blushing around him, and thinking about his love life? I'm losing my mind, thought Y/n.

Or you like him, whispered a part of her brain she didn't want to listen to.

No, no I don't, that's impossible.

Why? You blush when he holds your hand, you care about who he kisses, you buy him chocolates in town.

It's not like that, though. It can't be like that.

Why?

...

With Bruno

That was horrible. 

Everyone thinks we're a couple now! How am I ever going to look at her without blushing again?

Maybe that means you like her, said a part of him.

No, that's just how I get flustered. I would blush like that with anyone, he argued with himself as he sat down in the middle of his vision cave.

Would I?

He couldn't get himself to focus enough to do a vision. He sat there, the only image in his mind that of you smiling at him.

Why am I thinking of her like this? I don't want her like that. That would be absurd.

Focus, just try again on the vision.

He took a deep breath, trying for a second time to look into his own future, looking for something new. 

All he saw when he felt the smoke move and his eyes open, was the same image of you kissing him. 

This doesn't confirm anything. The future isn't set in stone. Mirabel confirmed that, thought Bruno as the green tablet settled in his hands.

Still, he stared at the image, and couldn't help the way he hoped it would come true.

No, no no no, no no no no no. I don't think of her like that. He sat back against the wall of his cave, his head resting against the stone as he held the green glass.

Both Bruno and Y/n

I can't like him/her like that. It's not possible. 

...

Oh, no.

I'm in love with Bruno/Y/n.
