Mi querida Camilo X Reader

Chapter 10

"Hey Mira, hey Y/n, you two got your party pants on cause..." The two of you froze as Augustine came dancing happily into the room. Mirabel jumped to cover the glowing vision with her arm as you waved your hands dramatically infront of her father's face. But it was too late. His jaw dropped and the man moved past you both to stare down at the green glass in horror. The image of his daughter stood admist the crumbling casita shone back up at him, boring itself into his memory. You looked over at your best friend and pulled gently on her skirt, trying to silently persuade her to run but instead she did the worst thing you could imagine. She started telling him EVERYTHING! After her rushed explanation, Augustine let out a shaky breath. "We say nothing." He wiped the building sweat from his brow, "Abuela wants tonight to be perfect.
Until the Guzmáns leave, you did not break into Bruno’s tower.The magic is not dying. The house is not breaking.
Luisa’s gift is not fading!" His voice lowed into a hiss, "No one will know. Just act normal.No one has to know." Mirabel gulped while you suddenly felt sick. It had suddenly dawned on you, the awful realisation that one more person in the Madrigal family knew the secret.

Slowly, the nursery door creaked open to reveal the one person none of you wanted to see. "I know." Dolores whispered. Before anyone could react, she squeaked and hurried away  Mirabel looked on with wide eyes. "She's gonna tell everyone." You nodded, "We're so dead!" Turning to the two Madrigal's you sighed, "How hard do you think it is to rock climb the mountains surrounding the Encanto?" The older man walked over to you and placed his hand on your shoulder. "Y/n, I think it would be best if you leave. I don't want you getting involved in something that could be dangerous." He looked to you with kindness and you knew that he was just looking out for you but there was no way you were leaving the people you had come to care about the most when the times got tough. "I appreciate you trying to keep me safe señor Augustine but," You moved to stand by Mirabel, "I want to do whatever I can to help you all." Your best friend gave you a squeeze while her dad just smiled. "Thank you." Just then, the sound of Julieta calling everyone for dinner echoed through the casa's halls. Tentatively, the three of you exchanged nervous glances and headed down to the kitchen where the Guzmans and the rest of the Madrigals waited.

Once at the table, you spied Dolores and slipped to sit in between her and Camilo. That way she couldn't tell him and you could keep an eye on her. Mirabel and her father sat across from the girl, keeping their eyes fixed on her. Tension filled the air as Dolores's breathing got quicker. It was obvious that this secret was bubbling inside her and she was nearly ready to blow. You nearly jumped out of your chair when you suddenly felt a tap on your shoulder. "Hey is everything okay?" Camilo asked as you spun around to face him. You nodded a bit too enthusiastically, giving him a tight, fixed smile. "Oh yes everything is fine with me! Ha ha ha. How are you?" He gave you a look that read 'wow very convincing' and let his eyes scan the rest of his family. A knowing grin lit up on his face. "Did
Dolores hear something she wasn't supposed to again?" The boy chuckled. Letting out a breath you relaxed slightly. "Yeah something like that." The shape shifter patted your arm and grinned. "I know that feeling and honestly I hope for your sake it wasn't anything too bad because everyone is gonna know by the end of the night." You glanced back at the girl to see her fidgeting and biting her lip. This was bad. Your attention was drawn away from the girl as Alma turned to her guest, "Such a wonderful day for the Encanto. Isabela with Mariano are a perfect match." Señora Guzman nodded happily, "Oh yes, everyone here will all be related!" Her eyes drifted to you, "Oh umm apart from Y/n that is." She looked to make sure you hadn't taken offence and you gave her a passive nod and smile. "I wouldn't be so sure of that." Pepa replied with a grin. "Give them a few years." Confuzed you looked at her to see that she was staring at Camilo. His face had gone bright red but he was trying to play it off as the heat as he reached for another drink of water. You still had no idea what was going on or what Pepa had meant and felt relieved when the conversation drifted to a new topic. The boy next to you however, seemed nervous and wouldn't make eye contact.
"You okay Cami? Do you have any idea what your mami was talking about?" At that he visibly relaxed and let out a breathy laugh, "I'm fine and...I don't have a clue what she meant..." You shrugged before your attention was redirected to Mariano passing a large bowl to Mirabel, blocking her view of Dolores. At the same time, your fork fell on the floor so you bent down to pick it up. You instantly realised your mistake as the Madrigal leaned over you to whisper in Camilo's ear.

As you sat up again, he shifted from one person to another uncontrollably. Alma laughed and poured another glass of wine for the older Guzman and you, Mirabel and Augustine shared a paniced glance. Before you could stop him, the shape shifter shuffled over to his father and passed on what his sister had told him. In shock, Felix spat his water across the table. Alma shot him a glare as the guests looked mildly disgusted. He leaned over to his wife and you put your face in your hands in frustration. It was getting out of hand too quickly! You knew Pepa had heard when a dark cloud suddenly loomed over the table. Abwela laughed awkwardly and tried to tried to lighten the ever darkening mood. Then you noticed Julieta looking over at your best friend worriedly. Mirabel stood up too quickly and Mariano turned to her. "Are you okay?" He asked. Augustine replied for her. "She's just excited for you to propose, which you should do. Right now!" The man smiled, "I was actually gonna-" But before he could finish Mirabel butted in. "You were actually gonna! Great!" Mariano's mother proceeded to explain that he wanted to preform a song, asking Luisa to go fetch the piano. You rushed over and stood next to Mirabel. "Hey isn't it your family's tradition to sing after the proposal?" Augustine and his daughter nodded vigorously as you pulled Mariano's chair so he was on one knee.

This was it. If you could just get through this proposal without anything going wrong then the two of you could continue to figure this out together. As the man started to speak to Isabela, Mirabel clutched your hand. 'Please go well' you thought.
