"You're gonna love my family! They're very welcoming, and friendly— oh! Not to mention my tia's arepa, they're so delicious!"
Camilo exclaimed excitedly, while he held the girl's hand as she walk on the trunk of a fallen tree. The two of them have been dating for 2 months now, and it's not rare for the shape-shifter to talk about his family.
[Name], as always, listen to his random ramblings from time to time. The [hair. color] actually doesn't mind when he talks, she likes the sound of his voice.
~
The two met at the river, on a late afternoon. [Name]'s grandfather got into a fight with her parents, due to the couple not letting the elder spend enough time with his granddaughter, this cause her to run away, not used to the screaming and the blaming.
Her relationship with her parents is close, they barely fight, only small playful arguments, ever since her grandfather came back, he was surprised that his daughter got a child, and wanting to make it up for disappearing for years, he kinda spoil her.
She doesn't know why her parents are against her grandfather, he's a really nice guy.
Camilo decided to look around a little farther from the town, he walked around playing with the snails and bugs that he came across, being goofy as usual.
But his smile faded away when he saw a girl, crying on the other side of a river. Her little sniffles are heard while she played with the rocks, he can tell that she's trying to calm her breathing by distracting herself.
He hates the sight of her crying, even though he doesn't know the girl, yet he still wants to see her smile or laugh.
[Name] didn't seem to notice the boy staring at her from the other side of the river, taking this as his chance to approach the girl.
He reaches into the waters to see if it's deep or not, luckily it's shallow. Taking off his sandals, fixing the cups of his pants, he made his way to the girl through the river.
"Hey, 'you alright?"
[Name] flinched at a sudden call, turning around seeing a stranger right beside her, making her yelp and lose focus on her breathing.
The curly-haired boy found her adorable, despite her slightly scared face, her puffy eyes and nose looked so cute. Even though she looked irresistibly adorable, she's not supposed to be crying, not on his watch.
"Woah, it's just me, it's okay, breath with me" Camilo breathes in, waiting patiently for her to mimic his actions.
The [hair. color] imitates the boy, though her is shakier. The shape-shifter helped [name] gain her normal breathing once again, making him pat her head as a sign of a good job.
"If you don't mind me asking, what's bothering you, princesa?"
Ever since that moment, the two became instant friends, they would see each other every late afternoon, just talking about their day. The boy showed her about the shapeshifting gift he got when he was 5, it kinda freaked her out.
~
"They sound so lovely," she paused, "I hope I can meet your family since you already met mine,"
"Wait, really?" When the [eye. color]-eyed glanced at her significant other, seeing his eyes light up with excitement.
"Yea, I mean you've come to my house every now and then, my parents also know that we're dating. I think it's time for me to meet your family—BUT IF YOU'RE AGAINST THE IDEA, I'M OKAY WIT-"
"That's a great idea! So when are you coming over?! I want to show you around the house! Oh! Maybe get your future read by my tio, or you get to taste my tia's delicious meals, i can tell my mama will love you too!"
He was practically jumping from excitement, "oh, that would be so lovely, mi armor!" He exclaimed, lifting her and spun animatedly.
[name] let out a chuckle, tapping softly at her boyfriend's arm, signaling that she's getting dizzy. Once he put her down, Camilo's already reciting their family's schedule, whether they have a person coming over, or a family member that can't come over, he wants her to meet them all.
"Okay, tomorrow, you're having dinner with my family. I'm going to pick you up at 6:30, alright? Ah! We need to ask your parents first, let's go!"
"Did you eat a whole pack of sugar?"
"I'm just so excited! You're gonna love my mama, she's wonderful!"
Yep, mama's boy
~~
Camilo did not think this through, he sat with his family at the dinner table, thinking of a way to announce his plan. He can tell that his tio can sense his nervousness since he can see him looking over and over at him.
I can't just go, "hey! My girlfriend's coming over tomorrow!" They haven't even seen her before. I can't also say she's a friend, cause I know [nickname] will be offended, I don't want mi Vida to be sad.
"Hey, um... Camilo, you alright?" Bruno finally spoke his thought, glancing at his nephew with a concerned look.
The said boy hum, trying not to look troubled. "What do you mean, tio? There's nothing wrong." He waves it off.
"You barely touch your food, I know something's troubling you since you're always the first one to finish." The madrigals glace at Camilo's plate, seeing that the future teller was correct they all got concerned.
Seriously? The child who always shapeshift as his sister to have seconds even though his first plate is a mountain of food, doesn't have the appetite to eat? Yea, something's bothering him.
"Oh dear, is it the food? Maybe I accidentally mixed an ingredient-"
"No, no, no." He quickly denies, why would she even doubt her own food? She eats them all the time, can't she taste how good it is?? "Tia, the food is great, delicious too."
"Then what's bothering you?" His sister runs a soothing hand on his shoulder, even she is worried.
"It's not a big deal, I just..." he paused, processing his words first before speaking. "I want you guys to meet someone, I was just thinking on how to bring it up."
"Oh? Is it your girlfriend?" Mirabel teased, smirking at her cousin, but her expression change when red spread over his cheeks, "wait, you have a novia??"
"You're serious? Wow, i never thought you'll like those girls in town." Luisa remembered that one time when her cousin hid behind her 'cause one of the girls kept flirting with him, and kept finding him even though he shapeshifted.
"What, no! I don't like those girls, all they do is cling on me."
"Then who is it?" Isabella leaned in, the others follow.
"Do you guys remember the girl I always talk about?"
"The one you always muttered in your sleep?"
Camilo froze on his seat, "excuse me, what?" Turning at his sister, his eyes widen in shock. "You're joking."
" 'oh [name], you're so pretty, I want to ki-' mph!" The shape-shifter shoves an arepa into Dolores' mouth, shutting her up.
"[Name]! You guys remember her, righ- AAH!" The older madrigal pinch Camilo's side causing him to drop his hand, simulating into his s/o then turning back to himself.
"Camilo, Dolores, we're eating."
"Sorry, mama," the two said in sync, glaring at each other.
"So, when will we meet her? I can't believe that you already have a novia, hijo!" Felix smiled proudly at his son, patting his back. "Treat her well, always make her happy, alright?"
"I know papa, you taught me well." He shared a laugh with his father, "I was thinking if you guys can meet her tomorrow? At dinner? If that's okay with you?"
"Of course!"
"I don't have anything to do tomorrow, so sure!"
"I wonder if she likes animals too, I want her to meet my leopard!"
"That would be wonderful!"
"I hope she likes cactuses!"
Camilo smiled warmly at his family, looking at his Abuela, waiting for her approval.
"Of course, from all of your stories of her, she sounds like a lovely lady." The elder's eyes soften at her grandson, seeing him happy makes her happy as well.
"Thank you, Abuela."
~~
"Be honest, is this dress okay?" The [hair. color] stepped out of her bathroom and show her s/o her clothing.
Camilo was sitting at [name]'s bed, helping her to pick an outfit for tonight's dinner. The boy is just so excited that he arrived 2 hours earlier than he planned. Glancing at her dress, he hesitated at first, before saying, "Mi Vida-"
"Tell the truth!"
The curly-haired boy inhaled and said the words he's been telling her for the past hour. "...you look very beautiful-"
"Cam'!"
"But it's the truth! You look so gorgeous!" He stood up and held her waist. "I know that's what I've been saying since your little dress-up show started, but you really look beautiful, in anything you wear!"
The two stared for a moment, both lost in each other's eyes, the boy caress her cheek still mesmerized by her. Camilo started to lean in, but [name] cleared her throat, pulling away from the hug. "I should just wear my daily ones, my mami also told me that I look more presentable in it."
The boy let out a sigh, nodding his head in approval, "sure, then I'll wait downstairs for you, okay? See you, cariño" opening the door, ready to leave, but he was stopped.
"Cam', wait!" The [eye. color]-eyed held the bottom of his ruana, before hugging him from the back. "I'm sorry, I panicked it's not like I don't want to, I just think-"
"Hey, hey, it's okay. We're only been together for 2 months, it's too early. I understand I got carried away," turning around to face her, he kisses her forehead sweetly while rubbing his hands on her arm, reassuring her that it's okay, "now, get dressed, I'm excited for you to meet my family, go, go!" Pushing her gently, towards her bathroom door. Lightly laughing at her boyfriend's action, she was quick to obey him.
~~
The people [name] had passed by are very friendly, greeting her from afar, though some of the villagers found her familiar making her confused since she never set a foot in this town until now, some of the kids even asked her where she comes from, and how did she and Camilo became friends, to which the boy corrected them proudly that they're dating.
Unknowingly to the [hair. color], the kids whispered something to the boy which made him smile widely. "She's so pretty!" And he couldn't agree more.
When the two soon reached casita, and on the top they can see a small tornado, going back in forth. "Um, Queriño?" She asked, a little worried about going inside. She knew it was Camilo's mother, Pepa, thanks to his ramblings, she knew all about the family as well as the house.
"It's normal, no need to worry. My mama will calm down once she sees you, let's go!" He held her hand, leading her to the front door.
The door had an amazing wood carving, it was a picture of the whole family madrigal. The door opened by itself which made her jump a little.
Laughing at his s/o's reaction, he saw his mother pacing around as expected, while his father tried to calm her down, smiling at the sight of them, he called "mama, papa, I'm back!"
"Oh Hijo! Welcome back!" The ginger reaches for her kid, kissing him on the cheek. "So, where is she?"
The curly-haired boy, pulled [name] from her hiding spot, gently holding her hand. He can tell she's nervous, he soothingly run his finger to her knuckles, which gave her at ease.
"Mama, papa, this is [name], mi novia." Felix can see how his son adores the girl, the boy's eyes are full of admiration. Just like he is to his wife.
"Buenas noches, Mr. and Mrs. Madrigal."
"No need to be formal, sweetheart. Just can call me, 'mama' okay?-"
"you can call me 'papa' too!"
"What a lovely girl, we heard so much about you."
"Camilo here won't stop talking about you, not a day goes by without him bring you up to a conversation, he kinda remind me of myself back then with my wife," the man rests a hand on his wife's back, rubbing it slightly. Resulting in Pepa kissing him on the cheek, before turning back to the girl, who's waiting patiently.
"As I was saying—you can call us 'mama' and 'papa', you're part of the madrigals now! You two can explore the house for a little while we prepare for dinner." The woman gave [name] a warm welcoming smile, which made her feel accepted by the family.
"Yes... mama." After uttering those words, a little rainbow showed up, above Pepa's head.
"You brought a good one, Hijo! Because of it, I'm allowing you to have seconds later, but in secret, alright?" He whispered to his son, "we don't want your mother to be thundery tonight."
~~
Camilo introduced her to the other members of the family, and just as he expected, everyone loves her.
She and his little brother shared a love for animals.
Sharing an interest in exotic plants with his cousin.
Her artistic mind helped Mirabel design a pattern for a dress.
sharing a love of books with his sister.
Loving his tia's arepa, (he's really happy that he's not the only one who loves it) she can cook too (she had good cutting skills, which really impressed him).
Agreeing that Luisa can take a break or two, and shared their love for cool drinks.
The last ones that he hasn't introduced are his Abuela and his tio Bruno.
"Okay mi Amor, welcome to tio Bruno's tower! You will see your future there! Come on, come on!" Camilo knocked before entering. They come across an hourglass shape as the entrance, with running sand. [Name] rise a brow, turning to her boyfriend, seeing him held out his arm. "You might want to hold on, it can get a little sandy."
"Tio Bruno?!" The boy called, helping his s/o on her feet after sliding, good thing she understood that the sand is part of the magic, and doesn't complain about it.
"I'm sorry Camilo, but your tio is not here!" A figure walked out from the corner, a hood over his head. "It is I, Armando!"
The curly-haired boy bowed to the person, "oh, the great and powerful Armando! May I see my tio, please?" Turning to [name] with a little mischief in his eyes, she got the sign.
"I have come from a long travel to meet my novio's favorite tio!" She announced, doing a little curtsy.
"Oh- wow, I-" Bruno brought his hood down revealing his face, you can see the joy in it. "I'm you— I'm your favorite tio?"
"You're the only one who has amazing acting skills! Of course, you're my favorite! Don't tell tio Agustin though."
"Sure, sure, but I did a good first impression, yea?" The two approaches him, seeing that he have an awkward smile, [name] brought a hand to his arm.
"It was a great one, I didn't know you have can switch personalities like that." Bruno can see that she's not lying, her smile is bright. She really is impressed.
Please marry my nephew, and stay here.
"Tio! If you're okay with it, [name] would like her future read?" The man froze, he already have a great first impression, he doesn't want the girl to not like him.
"Nope, sorry, I can't do that‐" rushing toward the stairs, but he was stopped.
"Camilo told me that you always do a great job on it, but the people always got mad due to the outcome," She paused. "If you're worried that I will hate you after you saw something bad, i won't. I promised."
Camilo, please tell me that you're marrying her. I don't want any other girl for you.
After a little convincing, Bruno got into the business. The man told the two that they need to go to the very top since that's where he does his future telling. The shape-shifter whined about it, making his uncle proceed it on the bottom of his tower.
"just so y'know, this is my first time telling two people's future," he smiled awkwardly, but the two smiled at him in encouragement, "hold on, it can get windy."
Bruno's eyes started to glow green, as the sand that's surrounding them levitated, glowing green. the three of them held to each other trying their best to not get taken away by the wind.
The sand around them started to form into people. The First-person showed Pepa squishing her son's cheeks, and Felix patting his back before picking up two plates and settling them on the table. Camilo soon followed his father, putting a plate for him and [name], kissing her on the head before sitting.
the girl giggled at the vision, while the curly-haired boy nudge her, teasing his s/o a little. Bruno smiled, finally someone who enjoys his visions.
Abuela came into the vision, greeting everyone including their guest. The camilo stood up, the girl soon followed, introducing her to his Abuela.
The elderly woman stared at her before asking some questions. [name]'s mouth moved, answering Alma, the woman backed away from the girl, screaming at her. Camilo's figure stood between the two, protecting his novia.
"um, tio? what's happening?" the wind grew stronger, making them clasp for dear life.
"it looks like they're arguing!" the man shouted, though it was a little unclear due to the wind.
"about what?!"
"I don't know, I can only see the future, not heard them!"
the figures started to shout at each other. Pepa, along with Camilo defends the girl grasping her hand as comfort. Luisa then pulled the boy out of the way, before she carried [name] out of the house, mumbling something. The vision shifted, into Abuela still screaming at her face, pointing a finger at her, looking like she's being blamed on. The vision shifted once again, revealing the two lovers hugging nearby a River, [name] crying in his arms, as he kisses her head.
the sand around them suddenly fell down, covering the three of them. Bruno held a green-looking glass in his hands, a picture of the two in an embrace. "see? this is why I don't want you to get your future to be told-"
"Tio Bruno, it's okay." she beams at him despite the terrible thing he just showed her, "you can only predict the future, not make them happen." for the first time in his life, she was the only one who have a positive response after a negative vision. the male turned to his nephew, serious as ever.
“Never. I mean, never let her go. What you saw in my vision, it's nothing.” he muttered. The boy laughed at his uncle, before nodding at him.
it was time for dinner now, and the [hair.color] is worried about what could happen next. she’s trying to think of any possible way why could the elder be angry at her that she was kicked out of the house. The boy sense her discomfort and does his best to calm her anxiousness.
Camilo might not show it, but he’s worried, scared even. he’s not blaming his tio, he's blaming himself for making him read their future.
On the bright side, he knows what's gonna happen, and he can prevent it, right?
The curly-haired boy saw his parents picking up foods and decided to voice out what he saw. "Mi amor, I'll be right back, don't worry about it too much." After receiving a nod, he made his way to his parents.
"Mama, papa."
"Ah hijo! Did you and your little girlfriend enjoyed exploring the house?"
"My baby boy's all grown up!" The ginger squishing her child's face, making him laugh at his mother's actions.
"Ma', pa', earlier we went to tio bruno's tower, and-"
"Don't tell me he gave you a prophecy?" Eyes narrowed, looking down at her son, suprised when he nodded.
"I just want her to be impressed with tio's powers, he looked really cool when he's telling a prophecy."
"What did he told you?"
"He didn't really told us, he showed us." The teen looked down, before picking up two plates filled with food. "I introduced [Nickname] to Abuela, and she just started screaming at her..."
"About what exactly?"
"We can't tell, tio can only see the future, not hear them.."
"Oh camilo, if something happens like that, we will be by your side, okay?"
"Just keep your cool, everything's going to be alright." His father gave him a pat on the back before leaving with his wife.
"I'm back cariño, it's gonna be okay." He kissed her head as a sign of comfort, before sitting. He grasp her hand, tracing small circles over the knuckles. These actions put both of them at ease.
They chitchat with the rest of the family, while the others got ready for supper. Soon an elderly woman showed up, "Abuela!" Camilo stood up from his seat, greeting his grandmother.
"Camilo! I'm so glad that you finally have someone for you." She offered him a warm smile, "so, where is she? I'm so excited to meet her!"
Maybe bruno's right, his vision is nothing.
"Abuela, this is [name]" the said girl stood up, making her s/o put a hand on her waist. "She's from a different town, it's similar to ours too!"
The [eye.color]-eyed smiled at Alma, "it's my pleasure to finally meet you,"
"The pleasure is all mine..." the smile that was once on her face fell, when recognize the girl's features. "...have I met you before?"
It's starting.
She felt the curly-haired boy held her hand, "I'm afraid not,"
The elder looked more into her, before registering who was she's looking at. Trying to keep her negative thoughts away, she asked, "what's... what's your last name, dear..."
"[Last name], ma'am.."
Horror displayed on Alma's face, the name she never thought she would hear again. Remembering like it was yesterday, from 50 years ago, people, including a member of the [last name] family attack their beloved town, forcing them to move away... forcing his husband to sacrifice himself for the people, including his wife and kids.
The [last name]s, they are known to be thiefs, cheaters, murderers.
The man who took her husband's life... is the girl's grandfather. Most of her features are identical to his, her nose, eyes, face. Her breathing started to hitch, she can't lose her love ones, not again.
"What is a [last name] doing in la casita?!"
As if it's an instinct, Camilo pulled the girl behind him, protecting her. Pepa stood up and approach them, try to settle down the situation.
"Get out of here! You don't belong here!"
"Mama!"
"Abuela, calm down..."
All bruno can do is stare at his plate, blaming himself in silence. If only he didn't look into the future, if only he refuse when they insisted, but he didn't.
"Luisa, escort the guest outside. Now." Emphasizing the word, with despise.
The said girl can't help but feel bad, but she had to do it, it's disrespectful not to obey someone who's older than her. She wants to protest, but she just can't.
Luisa strolled, breaking the two apart, before carrying the girl outside.
"Cariño!"
Many of them objected including Camilo, but Abuela won't budge. The strong girl kept mumbling a series of 'sorry' to [name], before gently putting her down outside of casita.
"Get out of here! Get out of encanto! And never come back!"
"Mama! She didn't do anything!" The ginger tried to reason to her mother, but her efforts leave in vain.
"She's a [last name], her family is the reason why pedro is not here, why your father is not here." Ring of silence is heard, everyone is shock. How can a sweet girl like her, related to a criminal.
"She's not like them! I already met her family, they're nice people, she's not up to trouble! Just—please!"
Luisa is holding back Camilo, who's trying his best to escape her grip. Shapeshifting into different people, but she just won't budge.
[name] finally process what she just heard, she now understands why her mami, kept pushing her grandfather out. She just doesn't want her daughter to know about it.
"I... I didn't know—"
"You probably know how to use a knife! You are nothing but an emotionless monster! Get out of my sight, leave! You're not welcome here!"
The girl left, she run like a speed of lightning, she can still hear the insults that was thrown at her. As she run, the [hair.color] can feel her cheeks wet.
Finally arriving at the river—the river that separates their two different worlds, she broke down. She's not like her grandfather, she would never.
I've ruin their dinner, I shouldn't have asked Camilo to come over—
Camilo. What does he think of her now. She didn't hear him protested earlier since she zoned out.
Does he hate me now? Will he... will he break up with me?
Back at the madrigals, their house is now wet due to Pepa's thunderstorms. The mother couldn't relax, she's trying her best but no matter how hard she tried, she just can't get the girl out of her mind.
It's true that she's happy for her son finally founding someone to be with. But after what she had heard from her mother, she doesn't know whose side she's on. She knows the child didn't do anything wrong, she was just got involved. But the way her son bleams when he saw her, makes her happy, she doesn't want to take that away from him.
In the meantime, Camilo and Alma argued, while Luisa hold him securely but not firmly, she doesn't want him to break a bone or two.
"Camilo. I want you to never see that girl ever again, do you underst-"
"She doesn't know anything about abuelo pedro, she did nothing wrong!"
"She's a danger to this family. She's a danger to encanto! You're forbidden to see her again!"
"She's not a danger to anyone! [Name]'s innocent, her mama and papa are bakers, they're not a threat!"
The boy shapeshifted into luisa, resulting of him breaking out if her hold. He ran, shifting into a little girl to slide under people that got into his way, ignoring the calls of his name, he ran to his beloved, hoping, praying that she's alright.
"Mi amor!" Sprinting through trees, looking anywhere for his s/o. "Cariño!! Where are you?!"
He knows she wouldn't come home, not when she's crying. She doesn't want her parents to worry about her. "Mi vida, please! Where are you?!" Then it hit him.
Of course, how can you be so stupid, camilo.
Once he arrived at the River, what he saw gave him a wave of relief, "[Name], mi amor!" He hurriedly approach the [hair.color], hugging her first. "Are you alright? Did you get hurt?" He held her face, before observing her body for cuts or bruises, when she shook her head, camilo kissed her forehead.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't— I shouldn't have asked to meet them-"
"No no no, mi amor. You did nothing wrong, you didn't know anything about your ancestors, your parents always avoid the question." He cooed, wiping her tears, before hugging her, tracing small shapes at her back, "It's not your fault [nickname], its okay..shh, don't cry, remember how to breath, mi vida."
"Are you here... to break up with me?"
"No, I would never! don't think like that cariño, I wouldn't replace you for the world.."
"Your family hates me..."
"No, they don't. Maybe abuela, but she doesn't see the way I see you... she doesn't see how kindhearted you are, you are nothing like your other relatives. Mama and papa approved of us, everyone approved on our relationship. Yes abuela will get angry, but who cares?" Pulling away slightly to see her face, "if you're okay with it we can keep it a secret, I can sneak you in and out, no ones cares besides abuela, they won't tell her anything, I know they won't." Kissing her knuckles as comfort, "I know it's too early to say this but, I love you, okay? Don't think too much about it... we'll make this work, I promise."
The two stared, both filled with adoration. For the very first time, the girl lean in, at first he was shocked, but did not missing the opportunity, Camilo shared a sweet short kiss with her. Caressing her face when they both pulled away, "oh, camilo I'm sorry, I didn't mean to—"
He cutted her off by kissing her once again, this one last a second or two longer than the first one. Once they pulled away, registering what just happened, they broke into laughter.
The boy then gasp, "I should've pulled away from the first one, I want to have revenge on you for always pulling away!" He teased, tickling her on the sides lightly, making her giggle.
"It's too late for that! You leaned in too!"
"I couldn't resist it, you look so cute!"
"You're such a dork,"
"Too bad I'm your dork."
