So You've Fallen for a Madrigal? (Camilo Madrigal x female reader)

4. To the River

On your way to the river, things are surprisingly quiet. There's only the sound of crickets, frogs, and footsteps. Things are getting really uncomfortable in this quiet atmosphere, but you don't know what to say. Finally, the boy starts to speak.

"So, uhm... Hi. I'm Camilo, as you may have heard from my sister earlier."
"Yeah..." You're still feeling very uncomfortable.
"Well, I believe that I never got to hear your name."
"Oh..." You're trying not to look at his face, so you talk to the ground. "M-my name is y/n...." His face changes as if he recognizes your name.

"Y/n... aren't you that girl from the other side of the village who does a bunch of dances or something?"
So he knows about that... You blush, turning red from head to toe with embarrassment.

"Yeah... that's me." It's getting really hot. You can't stop sweating, but you can't take off your jacket. "Who told you?"
"Oh, I have a friend who lives near you. He told me about this one event he was at where you-" He notices your discomfort. "You know what? Forget it."

You suddenly remember that he's a Madrigal. Questions fill your mind, but you try to limit them.

"By the way," you mutter, "what is your gift?"
He looks at you in astonishment.
"Well... this is kinda weird, but I can shape-shift into anyone."
"Really?" You laugh, "Ok, then do Dolores."
"Alright."

Suddenly, he changes forms. You look up to see Dolores's face. You stare at him in amazement. He then smirks and starts imitating his sister.

"CaMiLoOo, WhY dId YoU bReAk ThE pLaTeS??? YoU sHoUlD hAvE gIvEn ThEm tO mIrAbEl BeCaUsE sHe'S sOoO hElPfUl."

You burst out in laughter. He changes back into his original appearance, and joins you. He's so funny... Before you know it, the river is within view. Suddenly, you trip, stumbling on your feet.

"Hey, are you ok?" He puts his hand on your shoulder, and instantly takes it off. "Woah, you are seriously burning up. Like- are you actually ok?"

You nod your head yes, but as soon as you do so, gravity takes you. Bam! Your head hits the ground. You should have taken off the jacket.
