camilo smiled as he passes the ball to some of the kids he was babysitting. as he was about to run over the other side, he got caught in a nearby branch. he had a horrified look on his face and tugged his ruana off. he tugged a little too hard and ended up ripping his ruana. the kids gasped while camilo was panicking inside.

"u-uh, don't worry guys! i'll get my ruana fixed later!" he assured the children. "come on let's play some more."

"okay, camilo!" they responded in unison.

camilo smiled. he loves taking care of the children.

-

after the parents came and picked up the children, camilo was back in casita. he was banging on mirabel's door.

"mirabel! i need your help!" camilo knocked loudly. "mirabelllll!"

the door opens and it was not mirabel. "o-oh, y/n? i didn't know you were coming over?" he blushed at the sight of them.

"mirabel isn't here right now so what is it?" y/n questioned.

"um, my ruana... i accidentally ripped it," camilo smiled shyly. he held up the edge and there was a hole.

y/n widened their eyes, "oh shit, how did this happen?"

"got stuck in a branch," he mumbled.

"you're so clumsy, cami," they shook their head at him.

"just please help me before mi mami finds out!" camilo pleaded.

"alright, alright, give it to me i'm gonna sew it."

he sighs in relief, "thank you."

-

camilo sat across from y/n, watching as they fixed up his ruana. he waited patiently and silently while y/n was focused on their work. their hands went up and down as the thread was going through the fabric.

camilo tilted his head, kinda bored of the awkward silence. he never really talked to y/n, he just knew them through mirabel. and he would never admit this but he did have a teeny tiny crush on them.

he clears his throat, "uh, so... how are you?"

he nearly smacks himself for the stupid question. y/n glanced at him, quirking a brow, "i'm fine, you?"

"i'm good," camilo shrugged.

"cool."

"cool."

another awkward silence. estupido! why can't you talk to them like a normal person?! he yelled at himself in his head. you're a damn madrigal! just man up already!

"camilo, i'm done," y/n cuts his thoughts off.

camilo suddenly looks up from the floor, "hm?"

"your ruana, i'm done fixing it," they said, holding out the yellow ruana to him.

"o-oh, gracias," he took it from them. their fingers touched slightly making him blush. 

camilo shrugs the ruana on, looking over it in admiration. the hole was gone and the stitching was done with a matching yellow color. he notices a chameleon was stitched on and touched it with his fingers. he smiles and looks at them, "you did a chameleon."

"sí," y/n nodded and leaned in closer to him. they grabbed his chin lightly making him widen his eyes. "porque eres mi camaleon." they kissed the tip of his nose, giggling at his reaction when they pulled away. "you're so cute, mi camaleon."

camilo was staring at them in admiration. he smirked, finally gaining confidence in himself, "you're not so bad either, mariposa."

y/n raised their brows, "mariposa?"

"mhm," he nodded, grabbing their hands. "the chameleon and the butterfly, what a nice duo."

they smiled at that.

"would the butterfly like to go on a date with me?" camilo questions with a grin.

y/n nodded, "it was about damn time you asked me. i knew that you like me, you know?"

he blushes, "r-really?"

"yeah, you made it so obvious," they chuckled.

"why didn't you tell me?!" he screeched.

"i enjoyed seeing you get all blushy around me, mi camaleon," y/n smirked. "es muy lindo."

camilo looked down, face red.

"see you're blushing again!" they giggled.

"shut up!" he whined making them laugh even harder.

another voice interrupted them, clearing their throat. the two looked and saw mirabel at the doorway.

"are you done flirting now? i'd really like to finish this dress," she crossed her arms.

"oh, then i'll get going now," camilo stood up from his chair. he gave a wink towards y/n. "i'll see you later, mi mariposa." y/n smiled at him as he left the room. 

mirabel smirked at them and replaced camilo's place in the chair, ready to tease them. "so you're together now?" she nudged them.

they looked away, flustered, "let's just finish the dress."

"okay but this isn't over!"

-

camilo wore that ruana nearly every day now, refusing to wear any other. it was special to him now because his mariposa fixed it up for him.
