camilo making it up to you

CTTO: somethinginthethunder

warnings: none except one curse word

-camilo had gone too far this time. you were busy painting a mural commissioned by one of your clients when your mischievous boyfriend decided to give you a bit of a scare

-he transformed into a larger version of himself, making his way to your distracted figure.

-and at your most vulnerable moment he hovered over your body and gave a loud shout, making your heart jump and your arm flinch

-the product of this tasteful prank were three things: camilo laughing his ass off, you frozen in shock, and your mural that now had a lovely bold stroke of yellow over almost the entire bottom half of the piece.

-it was an understatement to say you were upset. you had worked hours upon hours to get that piece where it was.

-irritation and anger bubbled up inside of you, finally deciding you were fed up with camilo's antics.

-meanwhile, camilo was in the type of mood where he was too light-hearted and happy to see anything serious in the moment. he saw the state of your painting and, sure, he felt bad, but he didn't seem to exactly grasp the weight of your anger.

-instead, he let his laugh fade away and said, "i'm sorry about your painting, amor. i just couldn't help it, it was so perfect!"

-you didn't respond, taking a deep breath before you felt like you'd explode. cleaning off your dirty paintbrush and setting it out to dry, you ignored the curly-headed boy and turned to go home and change your clothes.

-ignoring him was something he couldn't miss

-he'd watch you walk off for a second, in a confused state of mind before jogging to catch up with you.

-"hello? did you hear me?"

-still no response

-when you didn't answer him and confirmed that he was being ignored he'd feel a little guiltier, placing a hand on your shoulder to slow you down.

-"i'm sorry, mi vida, i didn't mean to ruin your work," he apologized, his brows knit together in worry.

-when he leaned forward to give you a kiss as an apology you dodged his lips, keeping your face forward as you kept walking home.

-it was a good thing you avoided his gaze because he looked like a kicked puppy after that, his shoulders dropping as he watched you get into your house without a word.

-now he was really panicking. he turned right around and ran back to casita where he found dolores, isabela, and mirabel all sitting together in the kitchen (probably stealing a few snacks without julieta's knowledge).

-when mirabel spotted him she gave him a wave, holding out an arepa for him.

-"mami is out in town giving people their food," she explained, her mouth evidently full.

-"we can only have a few more, though. if she catches us we won't be allowed in the kitchen at all," isa snickered, wiping her mouth with her arm once she was finished.

-you could imagine the surprise on the womens' faces when they saw camilo, the one who would always somehow manage to snag seconds, shake his head and reject the offer.

-"are you sick?" dolores asked, half teasingly and the other half worriedly.

-"i messed up," camilo admitted. he continued to go on a long rant about how he ruined the mural and how you were ignoring everything about him.

-his family looked at each other as though they weren't surprised, but when camilo asked for help they knew they shouldn't deny.

-it was the next day, now. you were glad that camilo had decided to let you cool off for the rest of that day because you didn't know what you would've done if he had come back.

-as you were getting ready to fix and hopefully finish more of your work, mirabel showed up at your front door.

-"hola, (y/n)! do you wanna hang out today?" she asked cheerfully.

-"ah, lo siento, mirabel," you sighed. "i'd love to, pero no puedo. i really want to finish this painting as soon as i can."

-your friend was stubborn, though. "just meet me at sundown in the field across the bridge, okay? that'll be more than enough time to do some work. besides, you need to catch a break!"

-you reluctantly agreed to her proposal, hesitantly making your way to the meeting spot at her dictated time.

-instead of seeing mirabel, however, you saw your boyfriend.

-he was standing beside a blanket, some flowers, and a basket of food for the both of you to share.

-it didn't take a genius to understand what he was trying to do.

-because of this, you turned on your heel and started to leave.

-"wait!" he pleaded. "please. just stay with me, okay? i want to make it up to you."

-he gingerly held your hand and led you to the blanket. you hated to admit it, but you were starting to give in.

-"i know you've been working on that piece for weeks and that it was my fault it got ruined, so i wanted to set this up to help you relax," he said sheepishly, sitting down next to you. "i, um... also convinced your client to set the deadline back by a few days."

-what he didn't tell you was the amount of time he spent into bothering your client into agreeing to the deadline change. the cost for him being helping her with her business she ran for three days in return.

-now, he usually hated doing full-blown chores and responsibilities. but for you, he could make an exception.

-but somehow you still wouldn't budge. you didn't know why but you were feeling stubborn, simply giving him a hardened stare and he nervously met your gaze.

-at this point he was starting to give up.

-"i'm sorry, (y/n). i don't know what else i can do to make it up to you," he murmured, pulling his knees close to his chest.

-you should forgive him. you knew that.

-but that last sentence he said was what really made you break, letting out a sigh as you turned your body to look at him.

-"i forgive you. i'm sorry i stayed mad," you answered.

-when he heard you respond to him a feeling of relief shot through his chest, his charming smile making a return as he lunged forward and knocked you back into a hug.

-"finally! does this mean i can kiss you, now?" he asked you, burying his face into your neck.

-he loved the feeling of your body jolting with laughter, pulling you into a kiss when he heard the words, "yes, you may."

-"good, because you have no idea how hard it's been without you!"

-you raised a brow and let out a giggle when he kissed your cheek. "milo, it was one day?" you reasoned, staring right back into his eyes.

-he only clicked his tongue and shook his head. "one day too long, you mean!"
