The Chameleon and his Butterfly

Touches

Camilo had always been a touchy feely person but with Mirabel he just couldn't stop touching her. Sometimes he held her hand others he brushed their shoulders together when they were passing in the hallway of their home. Why did Camilo do this because he loved her and couldn't tell her. Mirabel was surprised by Camilo's touches but she loved them and she loved him so she let him get away with it. Camilo touched her in the town too because he had become addicted to feeling her soft skin against his. Mirabel loved it so much it felt nice not this she'd tell him. Soon though Mirabel would come to find just how much she needed his touch. Mirabel was walking home from a long day of helping some of the children Encanto learn how to sew and emboroieder when she felt someone grab her and cover her mouth so she couldn't scream. Delores who had was with Mariano suddenly dropped the glass she was drinking out of making it shatter on the ground "Mirabel!" Delores suddenly shouted making Mariano jump and he pulled her in his arms thankfully Camilo had come downstairs at that moment "oh Camilo thank god look you have to go and find Mirabel somethings happening to her she's in the ally way by the schoolhouse" Delores told him and Camilo was off as fast as his legs would take him "oh Mirabel my Mirabel please ok" he thought to himself as he rounded the corner to the school house and what he saw made him see red Mirabel was crying and some guy was holding her against the wall blood was flowing down her head the next thing Camilo knew was that the man was unconscious and he was cradling Mirabel in his arms desperately trying to stop the bleeding to her head "stay with me Mira" he said as he took off his shirt and wrapped it around her head and he gently scooped her up in his arms and ran back to Casita. Camilo could have used his runa but Mirabel had made it so he'd never ruin it in a million years. Soon he got back to Casita and he found his Tia Julielta waiting for them "oh Camilo you found her thank god" she said as he followed her to her room and he took his shirt off of her head and the bleeding had thankfully stopped "now Mirabel this will sting a little" her mother told her as she put a paste of her own making on Mirabels head as much as it hurt Camilo stayed with her holding her hand. Later that night Mirabel was in her room sleeping not very soundly though and Delores herd her and she went first went to Mirabels room and tried to wake her up getting no where she went to Camilo's room "Camilo?" She asked as she came into his room "lores what are you doing? it's late" Camilo said "I know it is but Mirabels having a nightmare and I can't wake her up I've tried to wake her up but she won't" Delores said and that's all Camilo needed and he got out of his room and went to Mirabels and what he saw broke his heart she was shaking in her sleep so with out another word he took her into his arms and took her to his room and wrapped his arms around her and she stopped shaking and fell asleep. The next morning Camilo came clean on his feelings for Mirabel and she felt the same way and from that day forward Camilo always was around Mirabel touching her whenever she needed his comfort.
