y/n was always told to stay away from the madrigals. so they did. but one madrigal in particular caught their eye.

carlos madrigal. he was so interesting to them. yet so intimidating.

the first time they both ever met, y/n felt chills. his glare haunted them. carlos looked up and down at them, letting out a tsk.

"move it, l/n," carlos stared down at them.

y/n almost had forgotten what family he was from.

they crossed their arms, glaring back at him, "who the hell do you think you're talking to?"

he smirks, "a good for nothing puta."

"fuck you!"

after that day, there was interactions more to come. and y/n didn't know how it happened but they were falling in love. carlos felt the same. at first he thought he was sick but when he asked his sister, she told him he was in love.

"dol, can i ask you something?" carlos sat next to her.

dolores nodded, "what is it?"

"i'm afraid i caught a disease," he said and dolores gave him a concerned look. "i feel all tingly in my stomach when i go near.. this person. my cheeks heat up and my heart seems to pound faster."

the older girl took in his words for a moment, thinking. she smirks as she realized, "carlos, perhaps you are.. in love?"

"what?!" carlos screeched. "no, no, i can't possibly be!"

"i think you are," she says in a sing-song voice. "is it y/n l/n?"

carlos' silence confirmed it.

"i knew it!" dolores let out a squeal, clasping her hands together.

"how did you know it was them?" he questioned dumbly.

dolores smirked and pointed at her ears, "i hear all, hermano."

now after all the months of pining, both of them got tired and confessed their feelings. so now they were dating. but since their families hated each other they had to keep it a secret. of course only dolores knew but they both knew she wouldn't tell. they both were disappointed but keeping it a secret gave them a thrill.

the longing glances from across the room. the secret kisses they stole from each other when no one was looking. the secret dates they'd have. the cheeky winks they gave each other when they pass by each other.

but tonight they weren't as careful as they should've been.

"it's cold," y/n shivered, their arms wrapped around themself.

the sun was starting to set and not many people were out. y/n and carlos sat alone next to each other by the river.

carlos took off his ruana, y/n watching him with a confused look. he held out the maroon ruana to them, "here."

"no, i can't-"

"mi amor, it's fine," carlos shook the fabric lightly, gesturing for them to take it.

y/n hesitantly took it from him, "thank you."

carlos lets out a hum as y/n put the ruana on. carlos smiles at them, admiring them. "you look so pretty in my ruana, muñeca," he sighs happily.

they let out a giggle, covering their face in embarrassment, "you and your sweet talk, querido."
