arranged (camilo x fem!reader)

the truth.

i walked over to señora pepa's room and knocked gently,
"uh- hello, come in please!" she said frantically. i walked in and saw camilo, rubbing his forhead and señora pepa looking very stressed,
"hi y/n" camilo groaned
"oh y/n, what do you need mija?" she asked. i was confused about why she called me mija but i shook the thought off,
"oh well i actually needed to ask you something but you look very stressed right now, please let me help!" i said, "camilo sit down, i'll clean up the tea on the floor" i continued while pouring more tea for señora pepa and camilo. i handed them both their tea and i grabbed a small cloth to clean any mess on the ground. after that i took a seat on another chair and señora pepa started speaking again,
"so y/n, what did you want to ask me?"
"oh uh well" i quickly glanced at camilo,
"oh, if you need me to leave, i'll leave" he said quickly,
"no, no it's alright, it's only about something i overheard with the adults"
"oh alright" he sat back down,
"so i overheard the adults talking about something i did in the past to upset señora alma, do you have any idea what i did?" i looked at señora pepa,
"oh you dont remember?" i shook my head, "oh i suppose you were quite young then, here i'll explain" she said. camilo then moved closer to hear his mother better,
"so when you and camilo were about 2 or 3, you both got into a little mischief together. abuela had put the candle on the table to clean up the candle area and y/n had almost knocked down the candle. of course none of us were mad, maybe worried at the most but abuela was very angry, and she still hasnt really forgiven y/n yet"
"ohh that's why she was always so mad to see me" i said
"but wait ma" camilo interrupted "i only remember meeting y/n at my gift ceremony, how did we get into mischief with eachother at 2 or 3?"
"that's because abuela didnt let you guys see eachother until the ceremony, only because she couldnt stop you guys from spotting eachother" señora pepa smiled weakly
"oh, okay, gracias señora pepa!"
"no problem y/n"
"wait y/n" camilo shouted, following after me, "i'll walk you home"
"but you cant-"
"its okay dont worry, abuela is talking with your family, tia julieta and tio agustin, they wont be done for a while"
"oh okay" is all i said. we walked out of casita and it was awkwardly silent again,
"why hasn't abuela forgiven you yet?" camilo asked, breaking the silence.
"i have no idea camilo, that lady likes to hold grudges i guess. also isnt that candle like, the most important thing to her and i almost knocked it down"
"i guess your right" is what he said. the mood was down and camilo was being unusually quiet so i decided to bring up dinner and his little girlfriend,
"did you know your little girlfriend valentina kept glaring at me?"
"oh yeah!" he laughed, "alexander was also glaring at me!"
"you were glaring at him too!" i argued,
"oh" is all he said. i rolled my eyes and playfully punched him in the shoulder.
"your a little unenergetic today, you alright pendejo?"
"i should be asking you if you're alright!"
"huh, what do you mean?"
"you've been acting softer than usual! am i rubbing off on you?!"
"no! i thought i was rubbing off on you!"
"i was just sick of valentina that's all, there's no way i would have a personality like yours but i could see you having a personality like mine!" he shouted, getting his energy back,
"am i supposed to take that as a compliment or insult" i stated bluntly,
"i don't know, that's up to you!" is all he said. we were then interruped by a panting mirabel,
"woahh mirabel, are you alright?" i aksed?
"y/n.." she pants "i need you.." she pants again "to come to the casita with me right now" she says, panting once more,
"bro i just left!" i protested
"can i come!" camilo asks
"sorry camilo but no, strictly girl stuff, if you want though you can just walk us back to casita" she excused
"aw man okay" is all he said and we walked all the way back,
"so mirabel, why are you so fidgety and why did you run up to us panting" i asked her curiously,
"well it was really urgent so i had just sprinted to you"
"oh that makes sense i guess" i let it get silent again when mirabel broke it,
"sooo, why were you guys walking out here together.. alone" she smirked, nudging me and camilo in the shoulders,
"mirabel, it's not like that!" i argued,
"yeah! i was just walking her home!" camilo agreed
"alright, whatever you guys say" mirabel said skeptically as we walked up to casita. we walked in and mirabel took me to antonio's room while camilo went into his room. she opened the door and inside i saw antonio on his leopard and someone who i thought i would never see again,

"señor bruno?.."
