Hermosa: Camilo Madrigal × Reader (Encanto Fanfiction)

[05]

Valentine's finally came, It wasn't a very special one for you.

“I—i don't understand. You said yesterday you like me?” You said with stress in your eyes.

“It was just a joke, that's all. I didn't thought you actually believe it. Now what?” The boy replied.

-[᪥]-
“Mami, how do I look?” Camilo said as he stood in front of Pepa.

“What do you mean?”

“I'm going to Y/n's. I was thinking maybe we could hang out since you know. It's Valentine's.” Camilo smile that made Pepa tear a little as clouds with little rain drops appeared above her. “Mami, are you okay? Did I say something wrong?” Camilo panicked.

Then Pepa unexpectedly hugged his son tight. “My baby's all grown up!” Pepa said that made Camilo chuckled.

“Mami stop crying, You're going to get me wet.” Camilo smiled as Pepa moves a few steps back.

“Just remember Mijo, if you really like this girl, if you two ever became together, never make her cry, okay?” Pepa pointed. Camilo nodded.

A few seconds after Pepa and Camilo's touching conversation, They notice Mariano and Dolores by the stairs. Dolores looked shocked and nervous all of a sudden and Her amor tries to calm her down.

“Dol, what's wrong?” Camilo asked.

“I hear—I hear Y/n crying.” She replied. “She's with someone, a boy. They're— they're arguing.” Having a gift like Dolores' isn't always good. She hears things she shouldn't know, Bad things and private conversations.

Camilo know a girl like you should never cry so he quickly ran out Casita carrying a bouquet of flowers to the town square where he usually see you.

When he came, he just saw you there,alone. Just sitting at a bench, forcing yourself not to cry. Knowing how hurt you look he quickly came to you.

You looked at him, “C—Camilo?” You said as you wipe your Tears away, trying to smile and pretend nothing happened. What are doing here?” you asked.

“Dolores said you were crying and arguing with someone so I quickly came. What happened?!” He said with worry in his eyes.

You always see him with this look. Like he cares nobody but only you. But you don't understand why.

“Nothing happened.” You denied as you look away from him.

He grabbed you gently the face and turned you head to him. “Tell me.”

He sat beside you. “I— I confessed and— he said that he likes me too.” You paused.

Camilo tries to process the information. She likes someone else?

“But—” He started thinking. You like someone but not him but... He knows you're still hurt so he still wants to comfort you. “—He likes you, Isn't that good news?”

“No!” You said. “I saw him with another girl earlier and he told that he didn't like me. That what he said to me yesterday was just a freaking joke!”

Camilo couldn't take it. Your hurt, it hurts him too. Without thinking, he hugged you tight that surprised you.

“You deserve someone better, not some jerk like him.” Camilo said. You were shocked. Words wanted to escape from your lips but stayed silent and starts to hug him back.

Why does he care so much about me? You asked to yourself. Is he doing that because he feels bad for you? Because you're his friends. Of maybe because of something more?
