His Mariposa (Camilo Madrigal x Filipina!Reader)

CHAPTER 26

"You're crazy", Camilo said.

"Dios ko. They really messed you up. Camilo, say something that makes sense, please", Y/N asked.

She was now holding Camilo's face, practically squishing it. It's not like he was helping! He was just leaning his weight into her hands!

"Camilo stop, smiling! Say something!", She roughly patted his face. Camilo blinked and took hold of her wrists.

"You... Are... CRAZY!" Y/N yelped as Camilo smacked on the arm. Her wrists were still trapped in his right hand while his left flailed about as he ranted.

"You are crazy, woman. You. Are. Crazy! WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT! Did you know how scared I was!? I thought you were actually agreeing with him! I thought you were actually FLIRTING with him! That you were also a Bully!!", He said, shaking her forcefully by the wrists.

"Why were you scared? I wasn't targeting you", Y/N said, pulling her hands away from Camilo, and started walking towards the stairs.

"Yeah, well, I thought you were abandoning me for some big, dumb,  hunk. Do you realize how convincing you were?? I thought you were actually gonna put your hands in his pants and 'give us a show' !", Camilo said, shoving Y/N harshly, almost making her lose her balance.

"Ew, I wasn't going to do that. And - wait. What do you mean 'abandon' you?", Y/N stopped walking. Camilo sighed.  He avoided looking into her eyes for some reason.

"I don't know...that's what it felt like", he mumbled as he scuffed his shoe against the tiled floor.

"Do you think, I'm shallow?", Y/N asked.

"No. That's not what I think...", Camilo paused, glancing at her nervously. Y/N waited for him to continue. Camilo sighed again.

"Well, it's what I thought. Honestly Posa, you were scary believable with what you were doing. You even dismissed and ignored me. I just. I don't know. I was scared you didn't really see me as your best friend. That I didn't really matter to you", he said, fiddling with the fringe of his ruana.

Y/N breathed in deep, "Camilo", she started. "You're stupid, you know that?", She chuckled. Camilo frowned.

"Meleon, look at me", Y/N said quietly. Camilo followed. "I've only been in Encanto for a few months", she said, Camilo nodded in understanding.

"And I think I'm probably gonna be here for the rest of my life", she gave him a small smile. Camilo couldn't help himself and smiled at the thought. "And without you I think I'd still be at home right now, moping about Pinas", Y/N continued.

"You're that stubborn?", Camilo scoffed.

"Are you challenging me?", Y/N smirked.

"No", Camilo chuckled. The two continued walking towards the stairs.

"My point is, you were my first friend here, Milo. You didn't give up on me. And I'm so thankful for that", Camilo suddenly felt shy at what she said.

"So you're stupid to think that I don't see you as my best friend", Y/N shoved him with her shoulder. Camilo sent her a fond smile.

"Awwwee, look at us getting all mushy", Camilo said. Y/N rolled her eyes and climbed up the stairs ahead of him.

"Ugh. Way to ruin the mood, Milo",she said. Camilo snickered and jogged up to her level on the stairs.

"What are doing you here, anyway?", Camilo asked. He shifted his footing so their footsteps would match. He smiled at the silliness of it.

"I came to bring Tatay his lunch. Maybe eat with him. Do you know where his office is?", Y/N said, also smiling at Camilo's antics.
