His Mariposa (Camilo Madrigal x Filipina!Reader)

CHAPTER 34

Camilo lay on his bed thinking about the events of the day. He thought of how Butch was wailing beside him, how Y/N was banging on the backdoor, how Antonio tried to comfort his best friend, how Dante was being no help at all, and about how Mira and Milo took the reigns with calming Butch down.

And then Camilo went to Y/N's room. He watched her cry. And then they had their first small quarrel.

Camilo smacked his lips and sighed. He didn't really think about how a loose tooth could be memorable before. What, with parents around town calling on him to shapeshift into them in order to watch over their kids, Camilo has plucked out a lot of first loose teeth before.

Now that made him wonder, did he steal those memorable moments from the other kids' parents as well?

He grumbled and turned on his side to scrunch the hair above his nape.

There's no use being guilty about stuff you're not sure about. He said to himself.

It kind of seems silly how a tooth could be a big deal.

Camilo let his mind wander around. He thought about how nervous Butch was. He thought about how at first he didn't think like it was a big deal that Butch picked him to do the job instead of Y/N.

He saw how betrayed Y/N felt. He also saw how angry she was in herself, even in their short quarrel.

Would he feel the same if Antonio picked somebody other than his older brother to pull a tooth out?

Well, that wouldn't be fair. Antonio lived with eleven people watching over him and taking care of him.

Antonio could pick anyone he wanted... Though he'd probably pick Mirabel.

Camilo scoffed at the thought.

Why should Antonio pick Mira? It's not like she's his sister or anything. Plus, Antonio saw Camilo pluck Butch's tooth out, so he'd probably pick him.

But still , Tonito begged for Mirabel during his gift ceremony. That was definitely a big deal and yet his little brother chose someone else to guide him through what scared him-

Oh...

So this is how Y/N felt...

Damn...

This sucks...

Camilo let himself wallow in his guilt and self pity. His mind wandered to Y/N.  The way she cried because she thought she'd pushed Butch away forever was mayyybe a bit dramatic and induced by overthinking but that just showed how worried she was about losing her baby brother.

Camilo turned over in his bed again. His eyes went over the pictures above his dresser. Specifically the picture of him, Mira, Dante, Antonio, Y/N, and Butch during the Miracle Festival.

Dante was on the left side, smiling brightly with his arm over Mirabel. Prima had her hand on his shoulder Camilo did his signature pose where he flourished his ruana. Antonio had his arm around Camilo's neck, and beside him, Y/N was smiling nicely, carrying Butch who was biting into a barbecue stick.

The memory the picture brought put a smile on Camilo's face.

He stared at Y/N and Butch in the picture. He sighed through his smile as he thought about the deLos Reyes sibling's relationship.

Butch was this energetic, sometimes shy boy that always loved to play. Camilo chuckled as he thought about how brutally honest Butch was sometimes. Little kid always spoke his mind.

"Kuya Camilo, did you just fart?"

"Tonio, there's a booger sticking out your nose"

"Ate Mira, you're really pretty today"
