"Crush" (Camilo Madrigal x Reader)

~Heartbreak~

A/N: I realized that Carlos is already a fanmade character who I literally follow on insta and have artwork of him saved I just completely forgot about it but now I realized this is gonna add more tea to the pot so imma leave it and see where my creative writing goes hehehehe...

I ran outside and followed the river near the Casita until I found the bridge. 

"Hey Camilo I'm so sorry-" I started apologizing until I realized he wasn't there. 

The only things there were a burnt-out candle and a single flower, the same type of flower he had put behind my ear at Antonio's gift ceremony. I held it in my hands and looked up at the sky. This week had been a mess of emotions and pain but today just took everything out of me. I let my tears fall and let out a sob I had been holding back for quite some time now.

"Hey y/n there you are your mama's been..." he trailed off as he saw me crying. I wiped my eyes and looked away from him.

"y/n what happened?" he put a hand on one of my shoulders and pulled me in for a hug. I let myself settle in his arms as he stroked my back. Soothing me until I calmed down enough to tell him what happened.

*Camilo's POV*

I went back to my room after y/n didn't show up for over an hour. I was disappointed I didn't get to see them but then again I never really got an answer. I went over to my window and stared at the bridge which I had a perfect view of. I saw y/n running to the bridge.

"Now she decides to show up?" I sighed and turned away a part of me couldn't help but see what happened next so I found myself back at the window. Carlos was there with y/n and they were hugging...

"That Hijo de putta..." I muttered under my breath and shook my head before turning away and closing my curtains. Hating that y/n went after him and not me. I grabbed my ruana and put it on over my head before putting my shoes on and going outside to watch her. I needed to know that it wasn't what I thought it was.

*Y/N's POV*

I walked alongside Carlos as we walked home, telling him everything. It was dark and everybody was inside their homes, most likely in bed. Carlos looked angrier the closer we got to my house. We were a block away from my house when all of the sudden I was pushed against the wall.

"Carlos what are you doing?" he had his arm over my head and his eyes stared into mine.

"Listen to me y/n, that man should never have left you. I don't know what happened with him but he was an idiot to leave you. Anybody would be a fool to leave you like that so don't ever think it was your fault, you understand mi, vida?" His face was close to mine now and I couldn't help but look into his hazel brown eyes.

I had a small crush on him when I first started working for Andrés and I thought that was gone, but now? The two of us like this? I couldn't push that thought away. 

The two of us stared at each other. I couldn't help but think about him and Camilo. The two boys I have only ever had feelings for in my entire life. Our breaths mingled and I smelled the faint odor of bread lingering.

"Screw it..." He lifted my chin and he kissed me. My eyes were wide with shock until he deepened the kiss. 

My eyes closed and my arms went to his shoulders as his hands roamed around my torso. I was so caught up in the moment I didn't even try to think about how I felt for anybody and just went with the moment. 

This wasn't my first kiss but it was the first one I had with somebody who I actually liked. We broke the kiss and stared at each other for a few moments, out of breath. His arms moved from my waist to his pockets, which was probably for the best.

"You should go, you don't want to worry your mama anymore than you already have..." he tucked a loose strand of hair from my face and started walking to his own house.

I stood there for a few moments before speaking "Carlos!" I called out and he turned around with a smirk on his face.

"Thank you!" I smiled and waved goodbye to him and his smirk went to a soft smile on his lips, the lips that I just shared a kiss with. I turned around and walked home.

"Thank you!" y/n says to him as they both walk to their own houses.

I lean against the wall I was hiding behind only a house or two away. My heart feels like it's stopped beating. It feels like it's no longer present in my body like somebody just ripped it out of me. 

He kissed her and she didn't try to fight it. She seemed to...like it. The image of them kissing repeats in my brain. I look over to Dolores. She had followed me out after hearing my footsteps leave the Casita. She understood what it felt like. What she had on repeat for years about her prophecy now seemed to apply to me.

'he told me that the man of my dreams would be just out of reach, betrothed to another,'

"I'm sorry Hermano..." she wrapped her arms around me and I wiped a tear away.

I've lost the girl of my dreams...

A/N: Sorry it was such a short chapter but I wanted to publish it today and it seemed like a good ending for the chapter!
