Camilo had been listening to Y/N gush about her brother. He learned that kuya Sandro was indeed a flirt. That he'd always try to win the prettiest girl in a party over for a dance. That he'd fall head over heels for a girl and actually be crestfallen if he got rejected even if he was just courting the lady for less than a week.
Camilo observed how Y/N would talk about each girl her older brother tried to court and concluded that she didn't like that her brother was straying away from her. Some sort of sisterly jealousy that says "No. You're My Kuya Sandro", and Camilo couldn't help but relate.
He shared his feelings about how he'd sometimes feel possessive over Dolores because of her relationship with Mariano. Because she's my Dolores, and she's Antonio's Dolores, and she's Papa's Dolores first, and Mariano can wait in line.
"I think that's a second nature to siblings. We might tease each other for our crushes, but deep down we don't want to be forgotten... Except Butch though, he was pretty upfront about not liking it when that idiot gave you a rose", Camilo chuckled.
"Oh, stop it with Cuaron will you? I don't even like that guy, he's so... eughk. Just no" , Y/N shuddered before adding another flower to her santan chain.
"Anyway, back to kuya", she said, silently telling Camilo to spread out his fingers so she can loop the santan chain around his middle finger. Camilo followed and let her do her thing.
"Heeee-", she paused to celebrate finally connecting the stubborn flowers.
"-was a gambler", she said, a happy smile on her face.
"Seriously?", Camilo asked before taking another flower from the bouquet. He didn't try to make a ring or a necklace, he just wanted to make the longest freaking santan chain ever.
"Uhuh. It first started with spiders", Y/N said.
"Spiders?", Camilo paled.
"Uhuh? Spiders. I remember he and his friends would buy tiny spiders and put them in matchboxes, feed them, blah blah blah"
"Your kuya bought spiders? Like, for fun??", Camilo asked.
"Yeah. Then he and his friends would gather outside nanay's clinic to bet on the spiders"
"Bet on what?"
"Well, they'd make the spiders fight on a stick"
"They make the spiders... fight?"
"Uhuh, whichever spider that kills the other one wins", Y/N said before sipping on some nectar.
Camilo couldn't help but scrunch his face in disapproval.
"That's just barbaric", he said.
"Huh, you think that's barbaric? Wait till I tell you about sabong", Y/N smirked.
"What's that?", Camilo grimaced to try and brace himself for the barbaric description.Y/N replied with a slight smile, as if remembering something nice
"Cockfights"
Uh- what ???
"Come again??"
"Cockfights"
Camilo took a moment to process that new information.
"Cockfights. Y'know, men bringing their cocks to fight each other", Y/N shrugged.
"Wh- Hah??", Camilo asked, his face drained with color.
"They bring their what???"
"Their cocks", she said, raising a confused eyebrow.
