Bruno Madrigal Snippets

How the Madrigals found out

(Pepa's POV)

The L/N's have been good friends of our family for a long time. Mama had been best friends with Señora L/N since they were children. Mama apparently introduced Señora L/N to her husband.

Mama had met Señor L/N because of Papa, whom had been his neighbor growing up in their old village.

Our parents were very close, and had been next door neighbors when the attack on their homes happened.

Y/N had only been couple of months old, and we had just been born.

Mama and Señora L/N apparently worked together to take care of the children and cook the food while the Encanto was being built, and they continued to help each other even after everyone had homes again.

Y/N was especially close to Bruno. I really didn't understand why at first, but I could tell that she was a good influence on my brother, even at a young age.

When we first got our gifts, we were all so eager to help. Y/N made sure to keep us from working too hard, especially in the beginning when we were figuring things out.

It only took a few months for Julieta and I to figure out how our gifts worked and what our limits were, so most of Y/N's focus went to Bruno.

His gift wasn't like ours, though. So he worked hard to make himself useful. Too hard. There were times in the first few months we would find him unconscious in his vision cave because he pushed himself too far, so Y/N stepped in.

She would help him figure out which requests he could do, and which were unimportant. She'd make him take breaks and eat to keep his energy up.

They had become better friends during this time, and I knew my little brother had a crush on her.

He would often tell me about how thoughtful she was because she always made sure he rested between visions, and how she made sure he didn't do too many.

He would grin as he explained how she would help him through the worst visions, and always celebrated good ones with him.

I always thought she'd be a good match for him, when they were old enough to think about relationships.

So it came to no surprise to me when I found my 18 year old brother, holding Y/N in a close embrace.

They were whispering to each other, both sporting light blushes. Then I saw Y/N lean in and kiss Bruno on the cheek.

A kiss that caused him to freeze briefly, before kissing her cheek in return.

I hid myself in my room before my rainbow could give me away.

Julieta was the first to find out about Y/N's crush, when Julieta had been tending to a sick Y/N at her home. Señor and Señora L/N had no idea what was wrong with her, so they kept her at home, so she wouldn't make anyone else sick if it was contagious.

She had an usually high fever, and was delirious from it. Apparently, she was going on an on about how gorgeous Bruno's green eyes were and how his smile could light up a room.

Bruno and I had to pass out her magical food that day, because of how bad things were for Y/N.

Bruno had been more of a nervous wreck that day, than he had ever been before. He anxiously waited for Julieta to return to let us know if Y/N was going to be okay.

I had to stop him several times from hiding in his vision cave, and searching her future. I knew how difficult visions could be on him, from listening to Y/N's gentle chastisement after we first received our gifts.

With his anxiety as high at it was, the added stress of a vision was the last thing he needed. Especially if the vision showed her death...

Luckily, Julieta returned early the next morning with the news of Y/N's fever breaking and her road to recovery.

This was when we were nine.

Mama found out about Y/N's crush on Bruno through Señora L/N. I often heard them talking about her and Bruno. They both hoped the two would get together someday.

I know Mama is probably already planning their wedding.

What in interesting day that will be....
