An Elemental Bender {Camilo Madrigal x Reader}

Hombrecito

You and Mirabel made your way to the kitchen and spotted Tía Julieta preparing food for the ceremony.

"Hi, girls-" Seeing Mirabel coming her way with an enormous basket of supplies, she hurried out of the way.

"Whoa." She exclaimed, placing the pot she was holding down onto another counter.

"Excuse me." Mirabel grunted, placing the basket down on the ground.

"Mi vida, you okay?" Her mother asked. "You don't have to overdo it."

Mirabel set her bag down on top of the counter, reaching down to grab the supplies from the basket.

"I know, Mamá." She said, placing down the supplies on the counter as Casita carried them away. "I just wanna do my part like the rest of the family."

"She's right, amor." Tío Agustín added, coming from out of nowhere.

"Eesh." You and Mirabel both said, examining his swollen face and hand.

"First gift ceremony since yours. A lot of emotions." He patted Mirabel's hand. The feeling of his swollen and enlarged hand touching hers made her uncomfortable.

She cringed and pulled her hand away from his. "Bee stings!" She told her Mamá.

"And I've been there." Tío Agustín continued.

Mirabel bent back down to grab more supplies from the basket. That's when Tía Julieta turned around and saw the state her husband was in.

She rolled her eyes. "Ay, Agustín." Leaving, she went to go make some food to heal his stings.

You chuckled lightly at her reaction when you felt a sharp throbbing sensation in your head.

"Agh..." You muttered.

Resting your head in your hand, you closed your eyes and leaned against the counter with your elbow.

Tía Julieta took notice of this and stopped whatever it was she was doing. "Are you okay, (Y/N)? You don't look so good."

"I'm..." You squeezed your eyes tight as you winced slightly. "...fine. Can I get a glass of water, please?" You inquired.

She nodded and went to go get the food and water.

"When me and your Tío Félix married into the family, outsiders who had no gift, never, ever would..." Tío Agustín bent down and also helped Mirabel with the supplies. "Surrounded by the exceptional, it was easy to feel un-ceptional."

Mirabel grinned and nodded her head. "Okay, Papi."

"I'm just saying, I get it." He summarized.

"Eat." Tía Julieta told her husband, shoving the food she had made into his mouth. And within a matter of seconds, his bee stings had disappeared.

She also handed you the cup of water, and you thanked her quietly, drinking the entire thing.

"Mi amor," Tía Julieta called, turning towards her daughter. "If you ever wanna talk..."

Mirabel picked up a box full of decorations and immediately changed the topic. "I gotta put out the stuff. The house isn't gonna decorate itself."

The banners hanging from the ceilings drooped down dejectedly.

"Sorry," she immediately apologized. "You could. You look great."

Casita raised the banners again, showing the change in emotion.

"Come on, (Y/N)." Mirabel said, walking out of the kitchen. You placed the cup in the sink and ran after her.

"Corazón, remember!" Tía Julieta shouted.
