Camilo Madrigal x reader

•° New Start °•

You were asleep comfortably, buried under the ridiculously soft blankets you'd been gifted by Casita, and Julietta who knitted you one herself, when you felt something move against your hand, then something else against your foot.
You groaned but then you were suddenly really warm, too tired to check you nuzzled into the comfort and drifted back to bed.

"SON TAS LINDOS!!!!"

You glanced up and saw Pepa and Julietta in the doorway cooing at... something, it took you a moment but you then realized what happened.
The Madrigal grandkids snuck into your room; Antonio was asleep in your arms while Camilo was spooning you from behind, Mirabel was slightly curled up by your feet, Luisa was sitting with her back against the bed and Isabella was in the empty space between Mirabel and Camilo. No wonder it was so warm, what were they thinking?!

You sat up, accidentally waking up Antonio, but after you squirmed out of Camilo's grasp he scrunched up his face in annoyance before hugging one of your pillows and sleeping that way.

"Buenos Dias Y/N!"
Antonio smiled tiredly, "You're really warm.."

All you could do was smile, picking Antonio up and leaving your bed carefully as to not wake up the sleeping Madrigals around your bed.
As you shut the door Pepa and Julietta smiled down at you, Julietta asked for your help with Breakfast to which you happily offered assistance and gave Antonio to Pepa.

"Y/n be a dear and prepare the drinks please, niña?"

"Si!"

You walked over and grabbed the pitcher when suddenly you were scooped up and looked to see Camilo, rocking some major bed head, pouting at you.
"You left us chica.."

"Yeah, to make breakfast. Now quit pouting and go brush your hair!"
You blushed intensely at the fact he took it upon himself to kiss your hand gently as he left you there. You knew each other for a while now but still, warning would've been quite nice.

"Honestly... I'll never understand him.."

You sighed, pouring glasses of orange juice, mugs of coffee and two cups of hot chocolate for Bruno and Antonio.

° Camilo's POV °

I ran away, face burning as I thought about whatever was going through Y/N's head at the moment, I made sure to do it in a casual moment so they'd take it as one of my jokes but... What if they didn't and found it gross, what if they didn't and liked it?
I didn't want to completely rule out the idea of them liking me back despite how much it felt like getting my hopes up, but you never know.
Nevertheless, I am sticking by them no matter the outcome, unless they don't want me to, but if they reject me then I won't just run away and ignore them, what's the point in that? If they don't like me that's that, I'll... maybe get over it. God, feelings are terrifying.

"Primo camaleón! Someone's red!~"

I turned to see Mirabel run up to me, which didn't do much to help the scarlet red dusting my cheeks, my freckles probably stuck out like dirt smudges on a cranberry.

"So, is it Y/N?"

I froze, am I that obvious? I thought I was hiding it well..

"Oh my god you're blushing more, it is! I knew it!"

"Yeah, shout it to the whole house why don't you?!" I yelled a little too loudly, only for Y/N to poke their head around the corner and narrow their eyes at me, I both wanted to absolutely melt and run away crying. Why did such a cute face have such an intense glare?

"I told you to clean up, breakfast is almost ready. You too, Mirabel."

We both nodded and walked off quickly. My face still a bright red,
"Thanks a lot, prima.."

She pat my back, "Please, you know Y/N isn't actually mad. The house is still in tact"

Surprisingly that was enough to get me to laugh, she wasn't wrong. Y/N was amazing but the family had only seen them really angry once, the memory was still enough to get even Abuela to shiver. It was something about someone stepping on one of Antonio's pets, we still don't know who did it, it surprisingly wasn't me This time and I'm glad it wasn't.

"I guess, still, how'd you know? Dolores and mama promised not to tell anyone.."

"The whole family knows."
Isabella nonchalantly said as she walked past, making me freeze up, the whole family?!

"Sorry Cami... You're sort of... Y'know... Really obvious."

I groaned, hiding my face behind my hair in embarrassment, this is humiliating. My entire family knows..

"Ugh, whatever. They don't know, right?"

"Nope, you should confess to them though"

"It's too soon, I don't want to rush things, besides, what if they're not looking for a relationship right now. They just moved in with the family and are finding ways to help the town, obviously they're busy. I'm a goofball and I'd get in the way.."

"Camilo, your a goofball but maybe that's what they need. Y'know, someone to be there and remind them to take breaks once in a while."

I thought about it, maybe Mira was right, I'd like to be there for Y/N, they needed to chill out sometimes. The number of times I've desperately wanted to tell them to slow down and take a break is concerning, why not?

I nodded, "You're right, I'm still going to take some time to think before I confess though.."

Mirabel nodded and we went out separate ways to get ready for the day. This would be interesting.
