(Camilo was literally sleeping next to me while I wrote this. He's mine guys >:P)


Camilo's POV

I was eating some of the sweets I got for helping señorita Sofia that one day before I rudely get interrupted by Dolores at my door. "Camilo, the Velasco's are here. Mama says to come down and say hi. She's in a good mood so don't ruin it." I roll my eyes. I'm not going to ruin anything. Sighing I hide my candy bag and head downstairs. I go outside and see my family all lined up as the Velasco's carriage pulls forward. I run over to the carriage door and open it, Lily and Arlo walk out and greet me with simple 'hi's or 'hello's. I look inside and see Y/N fast asleep. They're leaning against the window, mouth slightly open. I sigh, smirking at the same time. "Alrighty, up you go princesa/príncipe/su majestad(princess/prince/your majesty)". I say in a teasing manner as I lift them up in my arms, their head falling against my chest. I hop out of the carriage and gesture the driver to leave it on the side of casita. As I approach the front door I see Abuela, mama, and papa pointing and whispering towards me. I ignore it and assume they're simply teasing me for my cHiVaLrOus deed. Just as I approach my room I realize I can't open the door. Suddenly Mirabel calls for me, "Heyyy primo. Whatcha ya got there?" I see her glancing at Y/N. I sigh, "Y/N. Now be a good prima and open my door?" She laughs and obliges to my request. I nod towards her and she follows me inside. Shoot. Luisa hasn't brought in the extra bed yet. I guess they can sleep on mine for now. I set them down onto my bed and turn towards Mirabel. "Hey could you ask Luisa to bring in the extra bed please?" She nods and leaves my room. I watch her as she does, turning towards Y/N as the door shuts. I smirk, I am so going to tease them for this whenever they wake up.

(Time Skip to next morning) Y/N's POV

Yawning I wake up and realize I'm not in the carriage anymore. Shoot. Did they have to carry me inside? How embarrassing. I mentally slap myself and get out of the bed. Glancing around, I realize this is Camilo's room. Huh, so they assigned me to stay with him. Great. I sigh and cross my arms, slightly tilting my head due to my partially awoken state. Out of the blue, I hear a "Boo!" behind me, causing me to jump slightly. I turn around and see Camilo laughing his butt off. "Did you actually get scared?" he asks in between his obnoxiously taunting laughs. I scowl, "I wasn't scared you just surprised me chameleon." I purposely emphasize the last word, seeing as he doesn't like me calling him that. "Hey! Chameleons change colors not forms! I'm nothing like them." I huff, amused. He always likes to insult chameleons and call them inferior. It makes no sense to me seeing how they're his favorite animal. I still remember when he asked Mirabel to sew chameleons on his poncho(is that what you call it?)

I laugh and nudge him on the arm as I walk out of his room. Yawning, I greet casita,"Morning casita". The floor tiles happily shift up and down. Suddenly I halt. Wait a minute. I don't even know where my sibling are or what I'm going to do today. I sigh and walk back into Camilo's room. There, I see him sitting on his bed, facing me like he knew I was coming back. As soon as I shut the door he laughs, "Finally realized?" Rolling my eyes I approach him "Just come with me." I watch one of his eyebrows raise as he stares down at the hand I've extended towards him. "How about.." I glare at his smug face, slightly tilted upwards to look down on me. "No." A smirk grows onto his face as I step closer, frustration getting it's way with me. "Camilo Madrigal. If you don't get your lazy bum off your bed and come with me downstairs I will personally show every single person in Encanto your little theater notebook."(I headcannon him to be a theater kid who makes mini telenovelas in a notebook) I watch as his smug attitude drops, a sigh of defeat releasing from his mouth. "Fine. You win." I laugh at his defeated face and begin to exit his room. Camilo, trailing not far behind me. I happily skip down the stairs as I smell señorita Julieta's cooking. Due to me being distracted, I accidentally trip over my own foot. Just as I thought I was going to fall I feel a hand wrap around my arm, pulling me towards them. "Woah. Careful there princesa/príncipe/su majestad." Camilo. I look up(if you're taller than 5'6 ignore the 'up' part) at him, a relieved smirk on his face. I huff and take a step back. As I hurry down the stairs I hear him chuckle in amusement.

"Oh! Good morning Y/N, did you sleep well?" I lift my gaze to see Julieta. I happily walk over to her, "Good morning señorita Julieta!  And yes, I slept well thanks." She sighs, and gives me a slightly disappointed look. "Y/N, I told you to call me Tia Julieta. I've known you since you were born, you're basically family!" "Yeah! Formalities are dumb anyways." Me and Julieta's gaze turn towards Mirabel, who just walked in. "Morning Mira." She returns the 'good morning' and walks towards us. "Could you two help me set up the table? Just put the large dishes in the middle,and, and utensils, cups, and plates in front of each chair." Me and Mirabel nod before each picking up a dish and placing it down. We repeat these steps for a bit before Mirabel suddenly asks me a question. "Hey Y/N?" I respond with a small 'hm?' and pick up another dish, "Did you and Camilo sleep in the same bed?" My eyes widen, and I quickly look up to say something. But before I can get a word out Mirabel shrieks from being smacked from behind her head. "No, we didn't. I waited for Luisa to bring in the extra bed and then slept on that. I'm not a creep y'know." Camilo glared at his prima, before turning towards me and taking the dish from my hands. "Here, let me help you." I blink a few times before mumbling 'thanks'. (Small time skip to once you're done setting the table) "Alright I'll go get everyone, you can all serve yourselves. But don't eat yet okay?" We all nod and watch Julieta leave. As soon as we're sure she does we make our way to the table. I sit at the end, Mirabel sits in front of me, and Camilo sits next to me. I glance at him and see him reaching over to grab a large stack of arepas. "That's a lot of arepas chameleon." He turns towards me with an unimpressed look. "Well tia Julieta's arepas are top tier. So of course I'm going to get a lot." I laugh and remind him that he should save the rest for the family. Reluctantly he he agrees and goes to grab some of the other food. 

Me and Mirabel grab our food and begin taking for a bit. "Yeah! Even Antonio got a girlfriend! Like come on. Antonio? Me, Camilo, Luisa, and Isabela haven't even gotten a s/o(significant other) yet!" We both laugh. Suddenly, I see my siblings and the rest of the Madrigal family walk in. "Good morning everyone." I say, receiving a few 'good mornings' in return. (Time skip to when everyone sits down and grabs their food) "So, I hope everyone slept well and is enjoying their stay so far. Also, I'd like to announce a few changes in our schedule." We all either glance, or turn towards abuela alma. "The Velasco family will be staying with us the day after Camilo's birthday as well. Also, Mr. and Mrs. Velasco cannot join us until the day before Camilo's birthday." a few of us nod our heads or respond with a mumbled 'alright'. "Also, when Camilo's s/o comes over to visit, I expect all of you to be on your best behaviors. That includes you three." abuela Alma shares a glance with me and my siblings before continuing. "And finally, I'd like to announce that Pepa, Bruno, Julieta, Felix, Agustin, Dolores, Mariano, and myself will be having a short meeting this evening. That leaves Isabela and Luisa in charge. Make sure to behave and we will return with time. That is all I'd like to announce, you may all chat among yourselves."

(Time skip to after breakfast, sorry this chapter is really long and I'm getting lazy.)

I stand up and as I'm about to put my plate in the sink Camilo walks over to me and does It first. "Hey, since you're here. Would you mind helping me our with chores today? I doubt you have anything super important to do anyways." I put my plate in the sink and turn towards him, expecting a smug look or maybe even a cheeky smirk. But no, he was smiling. He looked so genuine I couldn't refuse. His eyes looked worried but happy at the same time. His mouth curled into a soft smile. The window that was slightly open let out a light that shined directly onto his face, highlighting his features. I watch his face turn into a confused one, mouth slightly agape, strand of hair falling over his lifted eyebrow. "Y/N?" I snap out of my gaze and look back at him. I blushed and awkwardly rubbed the back of my neck. "Sorry! I spaced out." My blush increased as I see him knowingly smirk. "Yeah, don't go fantasizing me yet amor."
