Luz (camilo madrigal x oc)

VII. WEIRDO

"and this is where all the rooms are!" said mirabel as we reached the top balcony, lines and lines of doors were formed and placed in a square amongst the lining of the balcony.

"i'll show you yours." she said while pulling my arm towards a sage door with various symbols from and some butterflies all stuffed together until they formed a heart, it looked absolutely stunning.
"this is where we'll stay?" i asked. mirabel opened the door to reveal a sort of nursery with four white beds inside, the room seemed spotless and was carefully decorated in a modest old fashioned way.

"what do you think?" mirabel asked, clearly waiting for a reaction.
"it's perfect but...are you sure you want us to stay here?" i asked while turning to confront her.
"why not? both our families have magical blessings!" said mirabel while raising her arms up, i nodded softly.
"well i guess...thank you anyways." mirabel gave me a soft smile before looking down at my candle.

"your candle's pretty, i like it." said mirabel.
"thanks, do you have one too?" i asked, mirabel blinked.
"well sort of," she forced out a chuckle "the thing is it's inside my abuela's room, the place we're forbidden to go to." she explained, i frowned.
"why?" i asked.
"personal reasons." mirabel rubbed the back of her neck, i nodded.

"so you and your brothers live here all together?" i asked while sitting down on the white bed.
"brothers?" mirabel frowned "oh you mean camilo and carlos?" she asked.
"i mean all of you." i said.
"oh no!" mirabel chuckled " i only have two sisters, the rest are my cousins." mirabel shrugged.

"oh ok." i gave her a small smile.
"mirabel!" we heard a familiar voice call out outside the door.
"que passa?" mirabel responded, soon enough camilo's head popped out.
"could you shut-oh." he then noticed my presence, quickly, he leaned himself against the door frame trying to look calm.

"hola bonita." he winked, i gave him a frown making the boy look away shyly.
"alright what do you want cami?" mirabel asked with crossed arms "and what are you doing up?" she said.

camilo sighed "you talk like a freaking air horn!" he complained, mirabel rolled her eyes.
"we have a guest." she said.
"i know that, a very pretty guest by the way." he winked again, i forced a smile.

"ok just go back to sleep camilo." mirabel pointed him out of the door, camilo groaned.
"at least shut your mouth." he said before walking away, as he walked off i could then see his figure, he wasn't wearing his ruana but yet a tank top and shorts.
"alright buenas noches." mirabel sighed and closed the door "sorry about him, he's not the greatest kid here." she joked.

"well thank you for your hospitality." i smiled at the girl, mirabel smiled back.
"you're welcome lara, and if you have anything you'd like to tell me you go right on!" she winked, i gave her a thumbs up.
"santa mierda onde estoy?!" i could hear grandma adelina shout from the entrance.
"looks like your abuela's here." mirabel sighed, knowing she had to calm down a frightened grandma.

after a while me and grandma were left off to sleep in the guest room, the scary and interesting thing about these people was that they were quite the heavy sleepers.

as i slowly began to drift off to sleep my eyes were soon met with a glimpse of light coming from a candle, i groaned and opened one of my eyes to see camilo trying to creep inside the room without making much noise.
"camilo?" i said while sitting up on the bed, the boy froze in place.

this time camilo was wearing a white shirt with his pajama shorts and slightly messy hair.
"oh hey." he waved with his free hand while the other held a small candle, illuminating part of his face.
"what the hell are you doing here?" i mumbled while massaging my face.

"came here to see you, duh!" he shrugged, i frowned.
"why?" i asked.
"because we're sleeping under the same roof now? what else would it be?" he asked with a smirk on his face.
"ok...?" i responded with a blank look, camilo cleared his throat awkwardly.

"so i never asked how old you were," camilo said making me give him a weird look.
"why?" i asked.
"just to know," he shrugged, i pursed my lips together and let out a sigh.
"i'd rather not tell, you?" i looked up at him.
"well i'm-" and before he could finish grandma let out a grumble as she slept, we stood frozen in the hopes she wouldn't wake up.

"come on." camilo gestured his head towards the door, i put on some slippers and followed behind him outside of the room.
"ok we're good." camilo mumbled as he leaned his side against the wall next to him.
"so?" i placed my arms behind my back.
"i'm sixteen bonita." he winked, i nodded slightly.

"so why did you want to talk to me?" i asked again, camilo blinked.
"because we're friends...?" he said with a nervous smile, i frowned.
"we are?" i mumbled, of course it was a big shock for me, most people i were friends with were always people i spoke to the most. so was he really my friend? probably not.

"sorry, am i making you uncomfortable?" he asked with slight worry.
"what no!" i responded.
did i look really that uncomfortable? perhaps it was because of all of the weird looks and frowns that i gave him, shit i should really stop doing those around people!

"oh! thank god." camilo sighed in relief "im sorry if i did make you uncomfortable in our last meeting." he said.
"no no it's fine." i gave him a reassuring smile, the boy blinked as a tint of pink followed around his cheeks.
"great." he blurted it out.

we stood in silence for a while, letting me look around the area, everything in this house was carefully constructed alongside the balconies, stairs,doors and many more.
but before i could examine more the floor under us began to move, creating a soft wave that almost made me trip.

"hey! casita watch it!" camilo whined, his butt was then smacked by one of the railings of the balcony "hey!" camilo welped as he got slightly pushed away.
"what the..." i frowned as i watched the display, so not only were these people magical, they also had to live in a living house?! mas que merda é essa?!

"sorry about casita," camilo groaned as he rubbed his back "they're the worst." he joked with a slight chuckle, i forced a smile, i couldn't let him know i was freaking out.
"it's fine, are you going back to your room now?" camilo smacked his lips before responding to my question.

"who said that?" he scoffed "i'm going to eat something in the kitchen wanna come?" he asked.
"not really." i shrugged, camilo frowned before pursing his lips together.
"ok...uh." camilo scratched the back of his head "then i guess you'll be going back to your room then?" he said.
"yeah, you did interrupt my sleep." i said while fidgeting with my hands.

"oh sorry..." camilo looked away embarrassed "well good night, i guess..." he forced a smile before slowly walking away.
"good night camilo." i gave him a little wave, he quickly walked away like a scared kitten.
gosh he was a weirdo, but i guess it was good, he did make me a little happier before bed. i'm grateful for that!
