His Mariposa (Camilo Madrigal x Filipina!Reader)

CHAPTER 33

Y/N was facing her closed window. She didn't sit like her usual postured self. She slouched and sniffed as she silently cried into her handkerchief.

It seems like she didn't hear him open her door so he knocked to let her know he was there.

Y/N gasped. She took a second to try and compose herself.

"So it's finished?", She asked, fiddling with her handkerchief.

"Yeah", Camilo exhaled.

"Okay", Y/N replied. She didn't say anything else. She just kept folding and unfolding her handkerchief.

Camilo waited for her to continue the conversation but eventually realized that that wasn't going to happen.

"Can I sit beside you?", He asked cautiously. Y/N nodded curtly. Camilo closed the door.

"Don't close it all the way, Tatay will be suspicious", she said. Camilo nodded and pressed his lips into a tight line. He left the door open just a smidge before awkwardly sitting next to Y/N.

"So, uhh... You're crying"

Of course she is, idiot.

"No, I'm laughing", Y/N snarked, looking away from Camilo. Camilo just rolled his eyes and waited for her to speak again.

"Why are you here, Milo?", Y/N asked. She said it as if she was offended by his company.

"We came here because Antonio-"

"No, why are you in my room?", She cut him off.

" That's an easy question. Because I wanted to check on you"

"Well, you've already checked on me, you can go now", Y/N said. She still wasn't looking at Camilo.

"Why are you mad at me?", Camilo frowned.

"Because you stole what was supposed to be my memorable moment with Butch", Y/N grumbled.

Perdon?

"Stole it?", Camilo scoffed, "I didn't steal anything from you, Y/N. You scared Butch, I comforted him, he's a six-year-old kid, so naturally he's going to gravitate to me"

"So you planned that?", Y/N looked at him.

"That's not what I said!"

"Sounds like it though"

"I tried to refuse Butch's request but you shoved the thread in my hand. You basically gave the task to me!-"

"Because Butch specifically asked for you, and I didn't want to scare him anymore!"

"That's not my fault now, why are you mad at me?", Camilo asked, bringing an offended hand to his chest.

"Did you really come in here to check on me or to rub it in my face that I'm a bad older sister to Butch", Y/N asked- no, she assumed.

"Y/N. That's not what I'm-", Camilo cut himself off and scrunched the back of his head to calm himself down.

"I don't get why you're making a big deal about this. It's just a loose tooth", he crossed his arms.

"It's his first loose tooth...", Y/N corrected him. Camilo still didn't get the point.

"What, is that some right of passage in the Philippines or something?"

"It's just a tooth, Y/N", he said. "And you're making a big deal about it", he repeated.

Y/N stared at him like he was crazy, like his words offended her.
