Peculiar; C. Madrigal

seventeen;

-Away from home-

Running back to Antonio's room, (Y/N) quickly followed behind Mirabel as she ran towards her family "THE HOUSE IS IN DANGER!" Mirabel shouted, catching everyone's attention.

The loud music that echoed around the room stopped, (Y/N) halted to catch her breath for she was not the athletic type. Caira and Klaus ran towards (Y/N), worried for their new friend, (Y/N) placed her hands on her knees and looked up to see Mirabel raising her hands.

"The house is in danger!" shouting again, Mirabel panicked even more when everyone gasped after hearing Mirabel's news, everyone stopped dancing and stared at the exhausted girl "the tiles were falling and there were cracks everywhere and the candle almost went out" Mirabel explained, eager to tell what she saw.

(Y/N) looked at the twins and thanked them before slowly standing up straight. Abuela's eyes widened and gripped on her black ruana before nodding at Mirabel ''show me" Abuela ordered, looking around the room in case of cracking. With that, Abuela walked towards Mirabel who guided her out of the room. Strangely, when (Y/N) walked out of the room to look if it had the cracks worsened. Casita was looking just fine, no cracks whatsoever, The doors and the candle were glowing ever so brightly as if nothing happened.

"the cracks were there!" Mirabel pointed at the walls before she walked down the stairs with Abuela and the others following her. The teenager frantically looked around the room to find any cracks that occurred earlier but there was nothing.

(Y/N) furrowed their eyebrows and looked around, surely there were cracks. (Y/N) knew she saw the right thing for she had not had a sip of wine or any alcohol. She was so sure that the cracks were all around Casita.

"they were everywhere" Mirabel said and looked at Abuela, (Y/N) felt so perplexed. (Y/N) looked around and saw Camilo with a confused look and right then and there, (Y/N) felt sympathy for Mirabel. Abuela gave the girl a stern look "Abuela, I promise," Abuela held out a hand in front of Mirabel and whispered loud enough for Mirabel to hear "that's enough" Mirabel's face fell as Abuela turned around and smiled.

"There is nothing wrong in the Casa Madrigal!" Abuela announced, spreading her arms to show that she was not worried at all "The magic is strong and so are the drinks" Alma joked making a few people laugh, Abuela mentioned to continue the music. (Y/N) looked beside her to see Mirabel's sister who was holding a piano and their father who smiled and pressed keys to avoid the awkward silence as people continued to dance as if nothing happened.

(Y/N) looked down to see Klaus and Caira with worried looks "Ain't that comforting" Klaus remarked mentioning Mirabel's announcement. "I don't think she's lying, I saw it too" (Y/N) said, Caira looked at her and intertwined her hand with (Y/N) in a childish manner. (Y/N) looked at Mirabel to see that she was already looking at her with a sad look making (Y/N) frown "come on, (Y/N)! Let's join in the fun" Klaus reminded and pulled his sister in the room.

The party went well, for others at least.
(Y/N) watched the twins dance and shared glances with Camilo here and there, too shy to ask each other for a dance.

"(Y/N)," A voice called, she turning her head around to see Camilo running towards her through the crowd without his signature yellow ruana "Camilo?" (Y/N) called back with a confused look, The girl was confused about two things. First, it was because he wasn't wearing his ruana, second, why did was he running towards her in the middle of a crowd?

"where's your ruana?" (Y/N) questioned. "Antonio used it as a blanket" Camilo chuckled and mentioned to Camilo sleeping on two chairs with Camilo's ruana as a blanket.

(Y/N)'s slightly nodded at the sleeping child and turned back to the boy " so uh..." Camilo's words hesitated from his throat "Oh, Camilo!" Caira noticed the older boy and quickly ran towards him, leaving his brother dancing with himself like an idiot.
Idiot seems too harsh, but he is.

"Come dance with us!" Caira offered, tugging on Camilo's hands making Camilo chuckle and nod. Instantly, Camilo looked back at (Y/N) and held out a hand "dance with us?" Camilo questioned "Oh- No, No...I can't dance" the girl responded making Camilo raise his eyebrows smugly.

"What? Didn't you learn to dance in fancy parties?" (Y/N) frowned and stomped her foot "I tell you, my dancing is nothing like Cumbia!" tell the girl with red tinted cheeks.

•Cumbia is Colombia's national dance-
here's the dance: https://youtu.be/FV9DWMBVsDA

"but uhm...I can learn?" Camilo's face lightened up when she heard (Y/N)'s response. Camilo smiled and grabbed (Y/N)'s hand before pulling her into the dance floor.

"follow my lead" Camilo whispered to her ear before nodding towards Caira. Antonio's room was full of people but that didn't stop Klaus and Caira for pushing them away leaving room for (Y/N) and Camilo to dance.

(Y/N) and Camilo stepped away from each other, a few steps away before the musics changed. Camilo raised his arms and started to slowly twirl around while swaying his hips lightly, (Y/N)'s eyes widen and panicked. Quickly, she grabbed the end of her skirt and raised her arms up before twirling around like Camilo, she didn't know the steppings so she kept twirling around but little did she know she was doing the right thing.

"the other way around!" Camilo shouted through the people's cheers, (Y/N) stopped to take in Camilo's words before twirling the other way around.

The crowd was cheering, even Abuela and the Priest. Caira and Klaus joined the dance with a laugh "(Y/N), follow me!" Caira addressed, (Y/N)'s eyes lighten up and followed the girl in front of her.

Following Caira's every move, (Y/N) stopped, still with her hands in the air gripping the end of her skirt. Each step tiptoeing making her hips sway a little, with another twirl. (Y/N)'s eyes met Camilo's, tiptoeing towards Camilo, their eyes never leaving one another.

Camilo's lips pursed into a smile, his heart beating ever so slightly at the sight of the girl slowly dancing towards him.

In an instant, (Y/N) twirled around switching places with Camilo who was starstruck at the dancing woman. Camilo swayed his hips and danced back to the girl before Klaus and Caira joined in the fun, circling around and dancing.

Twirling around, swaying their hips, Caira and (Y/N)'s skirt swayed as they move their arms back and forth. The music was intense and people's essence made the room quite small, (Y/N) was enjoying the fun until someone grabbed her wrist and pulled them close.

The world slowly moved when (Y/N) saw Camilo's freckles close to face, a slight hint of sunlight aroma filled her nose when she bumped into Camilo's chest before she was quickly snatched away, the music stopped and before she knew it, she was already standing in front of the supportive crowd.

Caira and Klaus cheered loudly as (Y/N) pant for air, curving her lips into a smile, they nodded and cheered for the musicians who played the music.

"eres un tesoro. you know that, right?" (Y/N) laughed at Camilo's remark "y me has encontrado."

The night was fun but alas, it was time to leave the party but it was no rush, they have lots of time. Caira and Klaus feel asleep in (Y/N)'s arms which made her struggle for a little bit but Camilo helped her "You can carry Klaus" Camilo grunted as he lift Caira from (Y/N)'s arms.

"I know where they live, their parents couldn't make it but I think they'll appreciate you for looking after them" (Y/N)'s cheeks tinted, not only because Camilo was complimenting her, but twas also because (Y/N) finally have someone close to a sibling. After a few weeks of being here in Encanto, she finally have to move on and move at her own pace.

"Come on, let's get them home"
