Camilo x reader

Longer chapter!

Y/n POV

I followed Felix down the path away from the house and towards the market buzzing with excitement. We walked in comfortable silence and he even stopped when I wanted to look at something. The thing that really caught my eye was the fresh fruit. I never had fresh fruit after my mom died. To be honest I only really had what I could find. Felix spoke beside me "Best fruit around" I nodded and rolled a plum around my palm. I looked towards the other side of the market and saw jewelry and as Felix read my mind "You can go look, I'll be there in a second" I jumped up and ran over. I picked through the jewelry making conversation with the stand owner. The only necklace that stood out to me was one with my favorite quotes.

What if I fall?

Oh my darling, what if you fly

I smiled to myself but put it away. I had no money but I was determined to save up enough to buy it. The man said he would save it for me for about 5 days. Felix came up to me with a basket of fruit. I wanted to ask for one but had no confidence. I guess he saw me eyeing the fresh fruit because he pulled out a plum. I took it a bit into the juicy fruit. I sighed and swallowed the delicious fruit. "So y/n. If you're okay with me asking, what's your story" crap, I knew this was going to happen.

Camilo's POV

I was so annoyed. I didn't want to do my chores. I wanted to be doing something else. If that included y/n. I picked up a big stack of plates and slammed them down on the table. I began to put the plates in the spots as badly as I could. Of course Casita fixed them. A loud noise to my right grabbed my attention. A large crack was showing on the wall. Something was definitely wrong.

Y/n POV

Talking to Felix was easier than I thought. Once I started talking it all started to flow out. My mom's death. My dad. Basically my whole life story. At one point I even started crying and he gave me a hug. I know that for some it's not a big deal but keep in mind that my dad rarely gave me hugs or tried to comfort me in any way. I started to calm down as we approached the house. We were cracking jokes and having fun. It was 4 o'clock when we came inside and Felix ran off to prepare. I ran off upstairs to find Camilo. When I burst into his room full of excitement I stopped dead in my tracks. Camilo was hunched over his head in his hands and I think he was crying. I quietly came over to him and sat down. I put my hand on his back and he looked up at me with his teary eyed face. "What's wrong?" I asked him. He sighed and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand. "Somethings wrong with the house. Y/n something really wrong" i smiled softly at him and pulled him into a hug. He wrapped his arms around me and we sat there like that for a while. "I'm so worried y/n" he whispered. I had somewhat of an idea of what he was going through. He was worried about something that he couldn't control and that's difficult. He wants to help his family but he doesn't know how or is too scared of what's going to come of it. I wanted to say it was going to be okay but I had no idea if it was. Abuela yelled upstairs "Marianos here! Y/n Camilo! Time for dinner!" I stood up and pulled Camilo up with me. "Lets get through this together" I whispered as I tucked a strand of his curly hair behind his ear. He smiled and grabbed my hand from his face and placed a gentle kiss on the back of it. This is when i fell in love with him
