Manolo x Reader

Chapter 5

When you got home you realized you forgot your fan back at the arena. Joaquin said he was going to fetch it for you, but you insisted you could do it yourself.

Chewy stayed home, watching you leave,  he ran to the balcony and oinked at you as a farewell. You waved to Chewy before you made yourself back to the arena, humming to yourself. You smiled as you thought about Manolo, Joaquin and you bak when you were kids when you were having your adventures. You sure missed that.

You got to the arena and went to where you had put your fan down but you heard soft singing and a guitar playing. You looked out into the area, fan in your hand and your eyes slightly widened as you saw Manolo playing his guitar and singing softly enough that you could here him.

Suddenly he stopped singing as he strung a soft cord, you watched in anticipation as you waited for him to continue. Manolo looked up at the rose he had on the guitar and smiled just a little as he continued, strumming his guitar loud. Signing loud and proud, it broke your heart at what he sang.

"But I'm A CREEP!! I'm a WEIRDOO! What am I doing HERE!!! I don't belong here!!!" Manolo sang as he closed his eyes, strumming his guitar.

He soon stopped strumming loud as he opened his eyes again and looked at the rose with his soft brown eyes. Manolo sighed a little as he sang the last part of the song, your heart broke even more as you tried to make yourself move or shout out to him but you couldn't. You were frozen in place and helplessly watched and listened to Manolo.

"I don't...belong..." Manolo sang as he looked at the rose with a small frown, is eyes showing sadness but a hint of love.

"Oh...Manolo..." You sighed, about to say something to him when you heard Joaquin calling you.

You looked back at Manolo as you hurried away with you fan, Manolo looked at where you had just stood in question before he made his way out of the arena and back into town.

(time skip to the dinner)

You sat down next to Joaquin and your father as you all ate the feat your father had arranged for your return. Your father was conversating with a few of the members of the so called "army" you had guarding San Angel. Joaquin was telling you about all the towns he went to and all the metals he had received when he was there. It was slightly boring if you were being honest but it was interesting to hear what he had been doing after all these years.

"It is great to have you back Y/N, we have missed you very much!" Your father smiled, you were about to say it was nice to be back but he then turned to Joaquin and started to talk again.

"And to our famous warrior-"

"TO JOAQUIN!!" The whole room erupted with a raise of there glass as if they were rehearsing it, you raised your glass and quietly said Joaquin's name as he smiles and took off his hat and throwing it across the room as one of the people caught it and yelled with happiness.

You chuckled as you told Joaquin what had changed about him, he chuckled as you spoke to him.

"You got a mustache! And all those medals! Whats that one for?" You asked as you pointed to a green metal that was on hidden behind a few straps that held Joaquin's suit up.

Joaquin shrieked like a girl which made you laugh a bit but it was weird, usually he did that when he was scared. You wanted to know why he was scared, what it something you said? Joaquin had jumped up from his chair and was standing, the whole room went silent as everyones eyes came to Joaquin.

"NOTHING! Nothing! Why don't you tell me about Rome~" Joaquin smoothly took his seat again as he said Rome with a slight smirk and accent, you had to admit that it was kind of hot.

You chuckled and rolled your eyes lightly as you spoke to him.

"Oh it was amazing! So much music, art and books!" You replied with a small happy sigh as you remembered learning about it.

"Music and Art and Books?? Well it seems you had a very wonderful time in Rome." Joaquin asked as he kind of looked confused or disgusted but his expression changed to a smile.

He knew that you would change but he didn't expect you to like books and art. Joaquin knew you hated books unless they were talking about adventure or romance, he kind of wished you stayed that way, that was the girl he fell in love with.

"I did, it was wonderful to see you again Joaquin!" you smiled a bit as Joaquin smiled back at you.

"I'm sure you are going to make a man very very happy and I hope that mans mustache or his medals," Joaquin pointed to his mustache and medals before turning to you with a small smirk,"Makes you very very happy."

"Oooooh is that so?" You challenged a bit with a small playful smile.

"Well yeah, behind everyman with an amazing mustache is a beautiful mustache!" Joaquin smiled as he looked off arounf the party.

You tried your best to hide your gasp, you couldn't believe what you had just heard Joaquin say and attempted to his your shocked face as he looked down to you and you looked up at him. You thought of something and smirked internally at your thought. Time to play it your way Joaquin, maybe you'll regret saying that.

"Oh yes, and i'll cook and clean for him and be at his beckoned call." You smiled as you trailed a finger up Joaquin's armor as he looked at you with wide happy eyes.

"mmhmm that sounds...that sounds...so good..that just sounds so good...and you sound..you're just so pretty.." Joaquin trailed off as if he was imagining it in his head with his eyes big.

"Are you kidding me?" You questioned as Joaquin showed a regretful face as you crossed your arms over your chest is shock and to your surprise slight disgust.

Your father spit out the water he was drinking at the "soldier" he was chatting with and muttered something you couldn't quite hear as he looked at you and Joaquin. He apparently ignored the "soldier" that was now covered with water. Joaquin stuttered as he tried to think of some words to say but nothing would come out.

"Is that how you see a women?" You asked in slight shock, looking at Joaquin to either say something to you, but he didn't. Joaquin was still trying to take back what he had just said to you as he kept trying to let words out of his mouth.

"We're only here to make men happy!?" You said even more irritated as he continued to just stay there and say nothing but nervous chuckles and the word "um" to you.

You then saw all the men that were in this once part of the room nod and hold there drinks up in cheers at what you had said. You grew more irritated and annoyed as you sat in your chair with your arms crossed still. Joaquin muttered a few things that you didn't quite catch and you didn't want to know either.

You stood and cleared your throat catching everyone's attention.

"I believe I have lost my appetite, please please stay seated! Now if you'll just excuse me I'm going to check on Chewy. He's my pig." You replied as you punched the table in slight anger as you turned to glare at Joaquin who looked at you then looked down in shame.

You exited the table as you walked up the stairs before saying goodnight in spanish before leaving to your room in silence.

Hope you liked it! sorry if it took long to update! I had to watch the book of life to get ideas and remember what happened, lol! But i want to try something and want to ask you readers something.

I have been thinking and I wanted to know if you wanted me to do this instead of Manolo dying and going to the realm of the living and all that. Or if you want me to keep the original storyline and do a few bonus chapters after this book is finished for the people who want to. 

Comment what you want me to do! Bye and thanks for reading and supporting this book!
