An Elemental Bender {Camilo Madrigal x Reader}

Storytime

Pulling out a chair, you sat down at the table after Abuela had helped clean your face. If you were going to be honest, it felt super nice having a parent-like figure to help care for you. You almost forgot how it felt after all these years.

Of course, you appreciated the love and care she expressed, but it never would amount to your parents'.

Clearing your mind and taking in a few deep breaths, you tried to calm yourself down. But those vivid memories continued to haunt your brain, and they ate at you from the inside.

You snapped out of your thoughts when you detected movement in the distance.

There were nine—no, ten people coming your way. But you seemed to have recognized these people...

You gasped as the memories started to flood into your brain and you could remember who they all were.

"Tía Julieta, Tía Pepa, Tío Agustín, and Tío Félix!" You laughed as you got up out of your seat and went to hug each individual one.

These people weren't really your tíos and tías, but you called them that out of respect.

Tía Julieta blinked a few times as her eyes widened. "It is (Y/N)!" She exclaimed. "You're so big now!" She grabbed your face and smothered it in kisses.

"Tía Julieta." You groaned, but laughed at the overwhelming feeling of love you were being given.

"Hey, Tío Félix." You chuckled, pounding his fist.

Not forgetting about Tía Pepa and Tío Agustín, you also said hello to them.

Peeking out from around them, you saw the three other people you favored most in the world.

"Dolores, Luisa, Isabela!" You ran up to them and gave them bone crushing hugs.

"Hey, (Y/N)!" Luisa greeted, ruffling the top of your head.

You let out a laugh and fixed your hair.

Dolores and Isabela also greeted you and gave you bone crushing hugs of their own.

"It's been forever!" Isabela giggled, caressing your face and placing a flower in your hair.

A chuckle left your lips. "Yeah," you nodded. "I guess it has."

Noticing a small child standing right next to Mirabel, you bent down so that you were face to face with him.

"Sup, little man? I don't recognize you." You smiled.

He hid behind Mirabel, gripping onto her dress.

"Ah, you're the shy type, I see." You laughed and held out your hand. "I'm (Y/N)."

He looked at you and then at your hand and then back at you.

"I—I'm... Antonio." He whispered, hesitating as he shook your hand.

"Well, Antonio, I have a feeling that you and I are gonna become the best of friends." You booped his nose and ruffled his floofy hair before standing back up.

He giggled and let go of Mirabel's dress as he gained some of his confidence back.

"Alright, let's set up dinner. Perhaps (Y/N) will be willing to share everything that's happened since the last time we've seen her. You know, catch us up on some things." Tío Agustín said.

"Haha... yeah..." You let out a nervous laugh, not really feeling up to it.

You and the Madrigal family sat at the table, your plates piled with food, especially yours.
