"I love you" Camilo says for the nth time today, its has been almost two to three months since you and Camilo have officially started dating and he proceeded to remind you of his affection everyday after that
And here you were blushing for the nth time today, one hand covering your face
You both were sitting on the bridge hands intertwined while you leaned against his chest, his chin on your head "Say it back" He whines and you laugh
"I already did though," You teased looking up at him "Five minutes ago, when you told me last time"
"Well I forgot what it sounded like, ok?" He huffs and you laugh
"Love you too" You answered and he immediately lights up, letting go of your hand to wrap his arms around you
Camilo was ecstatic when you said yes, You had to physically pry yourself off of him just so you could walk back to Casita, of course Camilo took it as an opportunity to hold your hand the whole way back, practically buzzing with joy
Once you entered the gates of Casita you were tackled by an overexcited Dolores "Dolores" You squeaked, hands raised in surrender "I came from the rain" You warned since you were dripping, while Camilo was being squeezed to death by his mother, and then you both were smothered by Felix's embrace
"Congratulations on getting Y/n, Mijo" Felix praises a proud hand on his son's back
"I'm wet Papa" he whines and moves away from his hand "You can congratulate me later" he says teasingly and you smile, He points at you "Shower before anything else" He reminds
"Shower before anything else" You agreed and moved to sprint up the stairs and get all cleaned up before lunch was called
He pokes your cheek when you started staring off into space "You ok Mariposa?"
You nod "I was just thinking"
"Yeah?" He asks "About what? A certain Madrigal?" He asks teasingly and you hummed
You laughed "Yeah, I have a Madrigal in mind"
"Who could that be?" He asks pulling you up by your waist to rub his nose against yours, smiling softly
"Tonito and his cute Capybara" You answered sitting up and away from him
His smile fades and he jumps off the bridge to leave you sitting there laughing at his reaction
When you and Camilo told Mirabel you both were dating she cried, happy tears saying something along the lines of "Finally!" and "I'm so tired of hearing you too admire the other from afar" and "Yes, I am finally free!"
When Antonio found out he hugged you, reminding everyday that you should start calling him Tonito happily sending the capybara to which you found adorable, to the nursery every morning so you could start your day with a smile (Which you found out later on was a decision that Camilo influenced)
Isabela was incredibly happy for you both, but would pretend the flirting bothered her, when you and Camilo were in the same room she would divide you both using a wall made out of flowers just to spite Camilo but it only ever made you laugh.
Luisa gave you a bone crushing hug when she found out, excited for you and Camilo. Of course Camilo shifted into her just he could give her the same kind of hug she could give him
Pepa and Felix were the proudest of them all, You were in the middle of helping Felix with his chores (It was his turn to bring in firewood and you were helping him carry it back to the Casita) "Tio," You began carrying the basket of wood "Where should I le—" You started but was cut off with him holding you by your shoulders
"None of that" He quickly dismisses "From this day forward you should start calling me, Papa"
"Papa?" You repeated in shock
"Exactly!" he says happily "You called?"
You went red, flustered "But Tio—"
"Papa" He says again cutting you off, turning to place wood in his own basket
"Papa" You said softly "Don't you think its a bit too much?"
"Of course not" he began "Mariano calls me Papa"
"Mariano and Dolores are to be married" You began "Its only natural"
He laughs "Oh, Y/n" He places a hand on your shoulder "Its only natural that a parent is excited for their child's love, and I am quite happy that Camilo fell in love with you, that is why I want you to call me Papa" he smiles "Ok?"
"Ok," You said defeatedly, watching as he expects you to address him "Papa"
"Wonderful!" he says and starts gathering the firewood
And there was Pepa who was literally walking around with an actual sun or a rainbow overhead by how happy she was for Camilo
"Tia Pepa" You called holding a three year old in your arms "Can you please make a rainbow for little Mattias?"
She agrees raising her hands to show the boy the rainbow "Didn't Felix already tell you about how you should call us Papa and Mami?"
You blinked "Mami?"
"So he hasn't?" She sighs "Ay that Felix" She sighs and smiles when Mattias stared in awe at the rainbow "Well in any case, I hope you call me Mami from now on, it would mean a lot to me"
You swallowed, readjusting your hold on Mattias and nodded "Sure... Mami" You said surprised by both hers and Felix's words
"Camilo" You called out after spotting him a few hours later, surrounded by a crowd of children as he retells the story of how the Casita broke down and then rebuilt, something these children were probably too young to remember
He brightens seeing you "Hey, Mi Reina" He greets
The children look between the two of you before one boy speaks up "Is she your girlfriend?"
Camilo nods "She's pretty, isn't she?" He praises you and then turns to look at your unamused expression, he clears his throat and usher the kids away "hey, why don't you guys play over there while me and Y/n talk about what story I should say next"
The kids happily ran off, and he turns to you, holding your hand "What's wrong?"
Your hummed, rubbing your thumb against his hand, a silent way to tell him you are not mad "Its about your parents"
He tilts his head "What about them?"
"They want me to call the Mami and Papa" You said with a sigh
He stares at you as the words process in his head before he grins, placing his hand on his face to hide both his smile and his burning cheeks from you, a habit he seemed to have picked up from you "Oh?" he forces himself to speak, you can hear how happy he was "What's wrong with that?"
You blew the stray hair that fell on your face from his words "They want me to call them Mami and Papa" You emphasized and he grins more
"Just call them that" He insists
You playfully narrowed your eyes at him "Oh you're enjoying this, aren't you?"
He nods "So much" He taps his foot against the ground in excitement "I really want to hear you call them Mami and Papa" You made a face and he moves to hug you "Just call them that, Mi Cielito"
"Your sky?" You repeated the nickname with a huff
"More like," he smiles sweetly, that stupid smile that he knows makes your heart do backflips "My little Heaven"
That flirt, You thought, fighting back the smile that is already etched on your face, letting go of his hand to cover your face "I didn't come here for you to flirt with me Camilo" You huffed and spun around to leave him there
He laughed and hugged you from behind to keep you from leaving "Camilo I'm serious" You whine
"Ok seriously" He states and nuzzles his cheeks to your hair, something you learned he liked to do when you both hug one another, apparently he says your hair smells like flowers, (thanks to Isabela who made it a habit to cover your hair with flowers since she likes the expression you make when she surprises you) he likes smelling it. "I just don't see what's wrong. They asked Mariano to call them that"
It worked but you never really had any plans to leave him there "Mariano is your sister's fiance" You reminded him "Its only right"
"Does that mean you'd have to be my fiance just so you can call them that?" he teases
You grinned at his teasing, you didn't even hide it (More like you weren't able too) "Camilo!" You said and pulled away from his hug to cross your arms, "Stop it! I'm stressing out"
"Alright," He began and hummed "I'm being honest, you should just call them that, they were the ones who offered right?"
"well, Yeah" You answered
"Then just do what they want, they're just excited amor, I mean, they made Mariano call them that from when they just started dating" He advises "Unless, you really don't want to, should I go talk to them?"
"No, nevermind" You said and puffed your cheeks, making Camilo look at you surprise "its fine, I'll just call Tio Felix and Tia Pepa that"
"Papa" He corrects "Mami"
You narrowed your eyes "Don't push it"
"Mi Princesa?" He asks when he saw you asleep in Casita's leaving room, he was on his way back to his room after a long day wanting to just rest and not bother you about it, thinking he should be fine after a nap, he pats your hair to wake you, or atleast get a rise out of you
"Camilo?" You asked when you opened your eyes and he chuckles at your half asleep state
"Its me" he nods, "You fell asleep here?" He asks
You nod, head gently lolling to the side trying to not fall back asleep "What are you here for?"
"Wanted to sleep" He answers "You ok?"
You nod, half asleep, gently snoring once you fell back asleep again
He coos and pets your head to get you to wake up a bit so he could ask you one question, and you did, looking at him in silent frustration for walking you up again "Its cold here" he began to explain after seeing the look on your face "Sleep in my room instead" He offered
It took you awhile, you were probably too sleepy to hear what he said, or rather, it took you a while to process what he just said and when it finally did you nodded again, telling him, sure you could sleep in his room. You slowly shifted to the side to get off the couch
Camilo presses his hand on your forehead to stop you from moving, "I'll carry you there," He smiles, slouching over to hook his arms under your legs "Go back to sleep" he places you hand on his shoulder as he snakes his other hand to support your back. You locked your hands around his neck, leaning your head on his chest, being lulled to sleep by the sound of his heart, listening to your boyfriend's instructions
Camilo takes you out of the living room through the hallway and up the stairs to his room all while you slept soundly, he carefully opens his door and places you down on his bed, gently tucking you under the blanket to which you were more than happy to snuggle into once the familiar scent hits your nose
Camilo smiles at you, walking to his dresser to look at a mirror, he examined himself, his tied hair, his eyes, his nose, teeth, checking of it was all there, if it was him, he lets out a shaky breath, the person in front of him, staring back at him, except blurry, he could make out the brown eyed, (tied) curly haired boy but he did not look familiar, to him it was just a clump of mixed features, coming and going
Just then his eyes drifted to the side, where other mirrors should've been, what was there were your sketches, he had them on the walls surrounding the mirror, he took a lot of them, your drawing, placing them everywhere around his room, he approached one, the most recent addition to his collection, examining it
It was a sketch of when he was laughing at something you said, hand on his chest , head tilted back in joy, you showed it to him after sketching it saying this was probably your favorite one of all sketches, he asked to keep it afterwards, of course. He shifts to the side to look at another one, it was just a simple sketch of him looking at straight, a smile adorning his features, head tilted to the side, he remembers you said this is what he looks like when he listens to you
He reaches out to trace it, that's what I look like, He thinks, Y/n drew me, that's my face
He returns his gaze to the mirror, and he finally saw it, his face, his hair, his eyes. It was him, it was Camilo
He breathes a sigh of relief, turning his head to look at you who slowly woke up "Camilo" You called and he smiles when you adjusted the blanket so he could sleep beside "Thought you said you wanted to sleep? Come here"
He nods, feeling better than before, moving to slide under the covers beside you "Stay here with me?"
You think, before nodding "Maybe one more hour" You said knowing very well you will very much pass that
"yay" he says and gets comfortable, he slowly takes your hand to lock it with his "Thank you, Mi Reina"
You smile softly eyes already closed "Always, Mi Rey" You answered before falling asleep
He stares at you cause of the nickname before a grin erupts from him, lifting your hand to gently kiss the back of it, even asleep, you can make me feel better. Just by calling me by a nickname, you can make feel better, he thinks heart fluttering he chuckles softly "I love you"
You and Camilo were walking around the village hand in hand, neither of you were that particularly busy and ended up taking a stroll before lunch, it was nice being in each others company after a while
You two were just talking about nonsense, mostly random things that catch your attention or his attention, passing by where the crops were placed when you stopped when you felt something fall on your head, "What?" You asked looking up
Camilo stops walking too to check on you but you were still looking up "What's wrong?"
"Did something drip on you?" You asked, patting your hair to check if it was real or not
He shakes his head and straightens when he felt water drip on his head "Ok, yeah, I did" He looked up as rain started falling and showering you both
You both stared at each other, "Do you have something to do with this?" You both asked the same time
"Are you serious?" You asked "Of course not"
"I was standing here with you" He reminds
"Why is it raining?" You asked when both you and Camilo were covered by an umbrella, you looked to the side to see Felix standing there, an umbrella on himself and on you and Camilo "Oh, Papa" You greet
"Papa" Camilo greets aswell "Why is it raining?"
"Your Mami was asked to water the crops" He answers and then motions to the raining surroundings
"Mami can use this umbrella" You motioned "I don't mind getting wet"
"Neither do I" Camilo adds and takes the umbrella to his mother a couple of feet away despite Felix's protests
You chuckled as his mom and him argues on who keeps the umbrella, that you didn't even realize that you were being shielded yourself as Felix shares his with your "Tio— er, Papa" You called pushing the umbrella back to him "I'm Ok"
"You'll get sick" He warns
You smile "I have a great immune system" You assured "Besides I love the rain so much" You squeaked when thunder rumbled from the sky when Camilo won against his mother
"Come on, Mariposa" He calls offering his hand so you two could walk together again, you smiled and bowed to Felix before reaching out to hold his hand to resume the walk
Pepa sighs "They're getting a bit too excited going under the rain every time this happens" She states watching you and Camilo giggling hand in hand
"The rain is special to them" Felix reminds her and smiles when Camilo spun you around "Lets just let them enjoy"
"Wanna dance?" You asked after a bit, the rain still pouring
He nods "We didn't get to dance when you confessed, Mi vida" He reminded and you blushed
"Who was the one who refused to let me go when I said yes, amor?" You asked poking him "I wanted to dance but someone was to teary eyed"
"Says the one who cried in my arms" he replies, smiling brightly when you called him with a nickname
You stare at him, mouth open in shock not thinking of anything to say back "Fine you win!" You said with a defeated sigh "I yield"
He chuckles "Alright, come on lets dance" he offers and you nod as he starts leading you around to dance around the field you both found yourself walking towards to. Just like before, there was no sound, no rhythm, no beat, but you both danced as if there was one.
The dance ended the same way it ended the first time you both danced, with you colliding against his chest, looking up at him, as he stared down at you, red spreading to his cheeks "You're so handsome, Mi Rey" You complimented making him blush more
"That wasn't necessary" He says and looks away
"I was only stating the obvious" You said giggling
He looks back at you, "wanna know what else was obvious?"
You nodded "What is it?"
"The first time we danced in the rain" He began "Do you remember that?" You nodded "That was when I started realizing I liked you" He went on trying to beat around the bush to what he actually wanted. You perked up, looking at him with curious eyes, he clears his throat "I have something to confess"
You raised an eyebrow "What is it?"
He swallowed "I actually figured out I like you cause I wanted to— um, uh" You watched him fumble with his words, but you patiently listened to him "K-kiss you"
You blinked at him, blushing red at his confession, it seemed that even he was, flustered as he refused to meet your eyes hand on his face in an attempt to hide it, but you gently pulled it down "I have something to confess too"
"Cielito you don't have to say anything" He began taking a step back from you crossing his arms "I'm not as embarrassed as you think" thinking you were speaking to help him get over it
You smile "I actually wanted to kiss you too" you admitted "Before we dated"
He stopped speaking to listen to you "You— Did you really?" He says doubtful
"Really" You laughed, brushing your hair back so you could see him clearly despite the rain
"When?"
"Remember when I was sick?" You suggested "I slept on your bed"
"yeah, you stayed in my bed" He agrees brushing his hair back this time, the rain making his hair cover his face
"You sat beside the bet, but you fell asleep bowing down" You offered again hoping he'd figure it out
"What about— Oh?" He asks, realizing it "Really?" You nodded, not looking at him in the eye, he takes a step forward to gently guide you back to look at him by your chin as he summons his courage "So if I kiss you right now? Will that be ok?"
You stared at him a second mostly in surprise before closing your eyes with a nod, giving him permission as your heart starts doing cart wheels in your chest
The next thing you felt was Camilo's hand cupping your cheek, the other hand on your waist starting the kiss off slow, soft, loving. You didn't think it was possible to blush while someone is kissing you but here you are, heat of your cheeks being the thing warming you up in the rain. You wrapped you arms around his neck as his wrapped around your waist
The kiss was just like that, and when you both needed air, you both, despite how reluctant you both were, pulled away, resting your foreheads against each other, staring into each others eyes in silent content before you spoke up "I love you, Mi Rey"
He smiled and leaned in again to set a simple peck on your lips "I love you even more Mi Reina"
Kisses. Apparently Camilo loves kisses, cheek kisses and hand kisses especially (But he like pecking your lips because you get all flustered). You don't go through a day without a kiss from Camilo and an I love you. Of course Camilo doesn't go through the day without a hug and a peck on the cheeks from you.
Camilo was speaking, telling you something he did back then that he thought was cool (he wasn't, it was reckless, but he looked excited so you nodded along)
You only stopped walking only to stare in horror as Senor Lopez strikes Antonio down, Camilo stops talking to check what you were looking at, staring wide eyed at the scene before him
You watched as Senor Lopez raises his hand again but you pushed him out of the way, purposely making him loose his balance "Tonito?" You called out and kneeled in front of him "are you ok?"
"Brat" He greets as you helped Antonio to stand up, he was teary eyed, cheeks stained red from being struck and you stood up to glare at Senor Lopez who obviously wasn't even sober
"Useless Old Man" You replied out of spite
He looks at you outraged and offended, raising his arm to slap you but Camilo intervened, grabbing his wrist with a force that made Lopez lower himself in front of the seventeen year old
Camilo was angry, practically seething You hurt my brother, My girlfriend and you think I wouldn't be here? He thinks "Harm my family again" He warns gripping the wrist tighter and pushing it back making the old man stumble to the ground "I dare you"
You turned around and kneeled to cup Antonio's cheeks to check on, Camilo kneeled beside you, checking on his little brother
"If only the Madrigal kid wasn't here" Lopez huffs and it made your blood boil "Fuck the Madrigals and they're hobby of going through other people's business and that brat who isn't even a Madrigal"
Camilo turned around to reply but he was too late, You already walked up to Lopez, anger being sent off you in waves, grabbing his collar with your left hand and punching him square in the jaw with you right
You've been in fights before, hitting someone wasn't uncommon. You don't get angry easily, it was very rare, growing up in a household as the oldest sister plus being the first born on both your mother and father's side of he family, naturally got you to become the center of attention, basically being the subject of questions by annoying adults to taking care of children raised by different parents, your patience is indeed quite long. But all that was thrown out the window when Lopez opened his mouth
My hand hurts, You thought as you took a step back from him, you were about to strike him again, when you spot the dirty look he gave you, but Camilo was quicker, wrapping his arm around your waist, pulling you back towards him
Your back collided with his chest, holding you in place, even Antonio holds your left arm to stop you from moving ahead. Lopez was lucky that the two people you adore were stopping you.
"Enough" Camilo whispers to you, soft and caring, as if he was assuring you and he only stopped when you nodded. He eyed Lopez, glaring at him with distaste "Enough" He repeats to Lopez but this time, harsher, more authority
Camilo drops his hand from your waist when you spoke up "Tonito I'm carrying you" You explained moving to lift the six year old, Antonio reacted quickly after your words, wrapping his arms around your neck and legs by your waist, your arms supporting him as you walked back to the Casita with Camilo, examining his brother's face
Julieta was angry, mostly because at first almost everyone avoided the Lopez's home since their family head did nothing but made the girls uncomfortable, even after he slapped you and Camilo her hatred for the man only grew, but now? After striking Antonio? She was angry
The scene before her was almost like a mirror, Her mom, Alma Abuela, stood in the middle, while on the sofa by the left side sat a very worried, very angry Pepa, the skies rumbled as she resumes checking her son's cheeks, beside her Felix tried to calm down his wife, knowing that right now wasn't the right time to let a hurricane into the Encanto
On the other side of the Sofa, the right side, was you, cradling you wounded hand (the hand that Julieta guessed was the one you used to hit Lopez), you were quiet and staring at the ground, obviously, if not, even more angry than when you were struck. Beside you was Camilo, calming you down, Camilo had a hunch if you were given the gift of fire he'd be doing what his father is doing now.
"Here you go Y/n" Julieta says handing you something to eat so she can at least heal you
"Tonito first" You began and she assures you with a caring smile, you turn to see that Camilo was eating already "Oh" You said softly and took the food from her "Thank you"
Camilo watched you eat it, watched you examine your injured hand, flexing it just to be really sure before you ate the rest, we say watch but he can barely process what happened the next ten minutes after you reached to hold his hand to assure him, knowing he too must be as upset as you and Pepa
Thunder rumbled and it snapped Camilo out of it, seeing his mother talking back to Abuela "Its bad enough that that man has made everyone in this family uncomfortable, mama" Pepa began, wind howling near by "But he struck Y/n, Camilo, and now Tonito, are we gonna wait until he does something to anyone else?!"
"Mi Vida, please the children are still in the room" Felix says and slowly places his hand on his wife's back "I understand what you mean"
Pepa, closes her eyes, as if forcing herself calm down, "Y/n" She calls
"Yes, mami?" You asked when she spoke
She smiles, lovingly "Can you and Camilo play with Tonito?"
Camilo nods and stands "Come on Hermano, Lets go to your room" He says and offers his hand for his brother, "Mi Princesa, lets go?" He says when you still haven't made a move to leave
You nodded, and stood up, putting on a smile for Antonio "Are your capybara's in there today, kid?" You asked following after them
Once the three of you arrived in Antonio's room, you and Camilo ended up playing with him, just basically keeping him company
"How are you, Tonito?" You asked gently rubbing the pad of your thumb against his cheek, Camilo left a while ago to grab something to eat between the three of you
He nods "Feel so much better since Tia gave me the food"
You nodded and pet his hair "Sorry for carrying you a while ago, I know you don't like being carried now since your a big boy"
"Its ok" He answers as Camilo returns a tray of biscuits and juice "I know you just needed a hug, and I did too, so I was glad you carried me"
You and Camilo met eyes at his words "Tonito" He whispered and Antonio looks at Camilo, teary eyed, but smiles anyway "Don't do that" Camilo whispered again and hugged him "You were hurt, come here, its ok, don't do that"
He hugs Camilo and slowly starts crying, making you sit beside him, rubbing his brother's back assuring him as You both let him cry it out
An hour later, you and Camilo left Antonio's room after he tires himself out and fell asleep, You and Camilo walked in silence back to his room, reaching out to hold his hand "Hey" You began and he looks at you "You've been quiet"
He smiles softly, tired, lifting his hand that's intertwined with yours, kissing the back of your hand "Just thinking"
You opened the door and lead him to his bed "Tell me about it?"
He goes under the covers "I'd rather not" He answers "I'm really angry" He warns, shifting to the side so you can join him with a pat to the covers "Stay"
"Yeah" You said and slipped under aswell, facing him "Still, tell me, that's what I'm here for" He was silent "Senor Lopez" You began and Camilo freezes looking at you "its about him, right?"
He nods, "I hate him" looking up into the ceiling
"Me too" You replied and followed him
"He hurt you and my brother" He says softly, choking up a little.
You looked at him and tears were cascading down his face and into the pillows. You slid closer to him, hugging him as he hides his face by your neck as he softly cries.
After that day, you and Camilo avoided the Lopez house like the plague, he always places his hand on your waist when you both pass by, he says its to make sure you don't pounce and punch him, again. But you both know that he actually does it so that he doesn't pounce and punch the guy
So here you two were, in his room, you were sketching again as per his request of wanting another one on his walls, "Except this one I want something different" He says from his bed, looking at you fondly and you raised your eyebrow from the floor by the sofa as you used the coffee table as a desk "I want you in the picture"
"That's a bit harder," You admit twirling the pencil between your fingers "I prefer drawing from my P-O-V"
"Please Mi Cielito?" He tries
And you chuckle "Oh fine, I'll do it" you replied and returned to the sketch
Camilo pumps his fist in the air, getting off the bed to peck your lips "Thank you" You smiled and resumed sketching
And for the next three hours you both were silent, with him letting you work as he fiddles with your hair, while you sketched. When you finished you showed him and he immediately lit up wanting to see it closer. The drawing was the two of you under a tree, you were reading a book that Agustin suggested you should read, so you sat under a tree to read it, three chapters in was when Camilo came and just flopped down beside you, giving you a kiss to the cheek as a greeting before lying down and using your legs as a pillow, your hand trailed down to play with his hair. It was a simple drawing but Camilo stares at it in awe
"Wow" He says and kisses you again "I love it" He says
You happily kiss back, tearing it off the sketch "Thank you" You watched him turn around to post it somewhere (He still hasn't thought about where to put it)
You grabbed your sketchpad before he could spot the present you purposely tried to hide, you were planning to give him a sketch for his upcoming birthday, the selfie you both took a couple of months back was freshly etched in your memory despite the fact that your phone's battery is dead. You wanted to sketch that for him
You already started the initial sketch, Camilo's birthday is months away, you just don't like rushing that's why you began early. You stood up to sit on his bed to stretch your legs
"Can I look through your sketch pad?" He asks after finally contented on where he placed the newest sketch and you stared at him shaking your head "Why not?"
"Cause" You closed the pad "Just cause"
"Mi amor" He whines
"Behave Mi Rey" You warned
"Even a little?"
"I have something I don't want you to see yet" You explained "So don't look through this or I will get mad and we'll fight"
He sighs but nods, lying down by your side, sulking but you just laughed, leaning down to kiss his cheek making him smile
"Hey," You began, you've been thinking about this for a while so you thought it'd be better if you just tell him, and he looks at you with a tilt of his head "I have something to confess"
He nods for you to continue "What is it?"
"I want to stay here with you" You answered
"What do you mean?" He asks a bit confused, sitting up
"I want to stay here, in Casita, with everyone," You clarified "With you in the past."
He stares at you before "Really?" He asks surprised, taking your hand in his "With me?"
You nod and laugh at him "Really"
"Are you sure? " He tackled you in a hug "Y/n this is a big decision, are your really sure?"
You nod again, "I'm sure, I'm happy here. Really happy. I don't want to leave"
He tears up and that's when it clicked, he was afraid, just as you were, he didn't want you to leave but if you had to and if you wanted to, who was he to keep you away from your family?
Camilo loves you, he really does, he chose this but everyday it nagged him that one day you'd have to return, hearing you say this he felt a weight be lifted off his shoulders, he couldn't help but tear up
You smiled softly, kissing his forehead and then his nose and then his cheeks and then his lips, whispering soft assurances, reminding him that its ok and it only made him hug you more, he felt so relieved
"There is one thing I need to do first" You added on after a minute
"What is it?"
"I don't want to lie to your family anymore" You admit "I want to tell everyone everything"
"You don't have to bonita" He began "Its ok, you don't have too"
You laugh "I just don't want to lie to anyone anymore"
"You could just say that you remember everything all of a sudden"
You poked his cheek "You want me to tell everyone by lying?"
"I just want you to be sure, not everyone might accept you," He reminds " Not everyone is like me, when it comes to accepting things. I'm the only one who knows right?"
"Dolores too" You murmured
"Of course she does" He says softly before resuming what he wanted to say "And that is fine, but you value the family's opinion"
You nodded, he was right, you do. But you need to tell them, you know that they deserve the truth especially since you want to stay here "I want to tell them"
He smiled "Alright" He gives you a thumbs up "I'll help, whoever you want to talk to, wherever, whenever, I'll help, I'll stay by your side"
You nod "Thank you" You said smiling
"Always" He kissed the back of your hand after he takes it "Who do you want to start with?"
You hum, thinking of where to start with, before nodding "Tio Bruno"
