summary: camilo has never been in love before, making him unable to understand why everyone wanted it so much. eventually, on valentine's day - he finds out that love is the closest thing everyone has to magic.

"No te preocupes hermanita, I'm sure you'll find someone else to love." Camilo said soothingly, running his fingers through his sister's hair in an attempt to calm her down.

Dolores, who was laying on his lap, shook her head. "You wouldn't understand.." She whispered, standing up to wipe her tears before heading downstairs, getting ready to prepare for dinner.

Camilo let out a sigh, sadly watching her sister's form dissappear out of view, he wasn't sad because she'd hurt his feelings, but because she was right.

Unlike others, Camilo has never been in love before, so he couldn't figure out as to why Mariano made Dolores feel this way. But to be fair, love was a concept he couldn't understand in general.

So by the time Valentine's Day came around, Camilo found himself sitting on the doorsteps of Casita alone, watching everyone inside dance happily under the moonlight.

"Out of all the people I'd guess to be alone on Valentine's Day, I would've never guessed it would be you."

Camilo turned to meet with a young girl his age, a small beautiful smile on her face. "Mind if I sat with you?"

A smile similar to hers appeared on Camilo's face, the feeling of loneliness subsiding quickly. "Of course!" He exclaimed, scooting over so she could sit. "I'm Camilo Madri-"

"You don't need to introduce yourself to me, I already know who you are." She softly pointed out, laughing before introducing herself. "I'm [Name], nice to meet you."

After letting out a light hearted chuckle, Camilo turned back to face the couples on the dancefloor, watching them in awe. "I don't understand why everybody craves love.." Camilo muttered, pausing before elaborating on his late night thought.

"I know there has to be a reason why everyone wants it so much, but I just can't figure out why. Maybe it's because I've never been in love before but-"

Camilo was cut off when [Name] put her hand on his right cheek, rubbing her thumb against it softly. "Well, I guess when you find love, it's really beautiful - or so I heard. It's beautiful enough to make people want it."

"Why's that?" Camilo asked, leaning into [Name]'s touch, blood rushing to his cheeks. He didn't want this conversation to end if it meant the butterflies in his stomach would stop fluttering.

"It's the closest thing everyone else has to magic." [Name] said, before standing up, leaving Camilo confused and brokenhearted. He didn't want her to leave, since he loved the way she made him feel.

"Where are you going?" He frantically asked, standing up with her.

"It would be useless to sit around all night so.." [Name] held put her hand nervously, hoping he'd take it. "Care to join everyone else and dance with me?"

Upon hearing this, Camilo took her hand and quickly led them both to the dancefloor, swaying to the beat of the music with someone he had fallen in love with at first sight.

"I thought you'd never ask."
