Dandelion Kisses (Camilo Madrigal X reader)

Chapter 3

The events of this story take place after the events of Encanto. Bruno is back.

"You like her, don't you," Mirabel said sneaking up behind him. 

"Ahh, what no, I mean I do yes, but as a friend," he said tripping over his words

"oh come on Camilo it's so obvious, it hurts to watch," she says, stretching her eyelids. "Just ask her to go out." Camilo looked at her blankly. "do you think she's pretty?" Mirabel smirks.

"No. No, I do. Yes. I don't know. I'm, not having this conversation with you Mirabel." 

"Oh you think she's so pretty," she says interlocking her hands together and placing them against her cheek. "Do you love the way her eyes sparkle? The way she plays with her hair? When she says your name, oh don't lie to me, primo (cousin), you get butterflies when she does." Mirabel teases

"Mirabel, why are you yelling?" Dolores says coming into the room, with isabella following shortly behind. "I can hear you from a mile away."

"Camilo likes __," she spurts out. 

"Uhh- wha-" Camilo loses all thought processes. 

"Awhhh," Isabella and Dolores said in unison.

"Well, you need to ask her out," 

"Thank you, Isa, that's what I've been telling him," Mirabel says.

Camilo - feeling embarrassed and on the spot tried to sneak away, but casita pulled him back. The three girls bickered about the best way of asking you out was, "Look guys, me and __, won't happen, I don't mean to be corny, but I'm lucky enough being her best friend, so it should stay like that." he says "if I ask her out, I won't even be able to call her that anymore. it would go wrong."

"I have an idea," she says pointing to the ceiling "you three stay there." Mirabel Trails off upstairs.

"oh no," Dolores said

"This won't go well." 

"It really won't" 

"Hey Mama," Mirabel greets. "You haven't seen Tio Bruno. Have you?"

"Yes, my love, he went back to his room." 

"Great, thank you, mama." She ran off and darted to Bruno's door. "Tio, Bruno, I need your help with something." 

"What is it Mirabell?" 

"Can you do a vision for Camilo?" she asks with uncertainty.

"Depends on what for. Also, why are you asking for him, can he not ask me himself?" 

"Okay, so Camilo likes this girl-"

"__, yes I know the girl. Short and very nice, she would make a good fit for our little Camilo." 

"Yes exactly" she snapped her fingers "now I just need, or... sorry we need to give Camilo a little boost. So can you do that? Can you reassure him that she likes him too?" 

"Gosh, I don't think so kid, what if the outcome isn't so good, the last thing I want is to hurt his feelings. I'm sorry Mirabel. It happened before I will not do it again."

"Tio Bruno, please I want to help him." she begs "I know it will be good, I see the way she looks at him."

"It will hurt him if it's not what he wants"

"He's going to get hurt either way," Mirabel snaps "so it's either do it now never."

Bruno turns to face her as "fine, let's go and ask him if it what he wants ill do it."

"Ugh, why did you tell-" 

"don't be embarrassed little fella," Bruno says "do you want to vision? I can tell you what happens, but if it's not what you want it's not my fault. It's up to you."

Mirabel stands inches away, giving Camilo an encouraging nod.

 Bruno sprinkles sand in a perfect circle, he sits down and crosses his legs flicking salt over his right shoulder. He takes Camillo's hand to his right and takes Mirabel's in his left. As his eyes began to ignite a colour of neon green, Camilo's palm start to sweat as it sets in.

The sand domes it's way up, as it fills with colours of green,  your face appears out of the sand, looking as happy as ever. Camilo's face comes appears moment after, the scenario plays out as if it has already happened. Camillo takes a deep breath and swallows thickly.  Your hand is in his, something shiny slips on your finger. "Bruno that's not what I asked for." 

"Yes, it is kid." Bruno said simply, he handed him a thin sheet of emerald green glass, he inspected it for a moment as he said, "does that mean... are we?" He was dumbfounded and that was the last thing he had expected to see"
