Gifted and cursed (Camilo x reader)

Who again?

Y/n then rushed back home, and before entering her house, she started thinking whether this was a good idea or not.

I need to learn how to control my powers... I have to do this....let's hope that he's gonna answer me with a yes

She barged in with a huge smile on her face and said:

"Papí, my caro papá. How are you feeling?"

"Y/n, what's wrong?"

"Oh just...nothing..."

"Sit hear a second, I want to speak to you"

She sat down with a nervous look, squinting her left eye, hoping that he would've just shared quickly whatever he wanted to say, but it left her in complete shock.

"Y/n. I know how you feel about Camilo, it's extremely obvious. Your strange behaviours had made me reflect recently on that one time you couldn't control your powers. Whenever you're around him, I've never heard anyone complain about you two messing around or misbehaving. So, I'll let you guys meet and do whatever you want."

"Wait really?? Thanks dad but, I don't think of him that way..." she answered as drops of sweat started drooling from her forehead.

"Don't try to hide it from me young lady. I know everything. I'm gonna let you meet him and I won't interrupt your hangouts. You can also tell him about the curse if you want to when you'll know each other better."

"Well dad...about the curse..."
Y/n's dad raised his eyebrow

"Today I met Dolores Madrigal, and let's say that she knows..."

"What? That you like Camilo?"
"DAD NO, THERES NOTHING BETWEEN US AND I DONT LIKE HIM. THE POINT IS, SHE CAN HEAR US ALL THE TIME. EVEN NOW."

Her dad remained silent. He tried to look away and said

"Then what are we suppose to do...she's gonna tell our curses to everyone..."
"No she won't. Well, I got to know her today and she understood my problems quite well. She also suggested that...I maybe could move in with the Madrigals for a while to learn how to manage my powers and..."

"WHAT, FIRST OF ALL, I DONT THINK ABUELA WILL LET A TOTAL STRANGER LIVE IN THEIR CASITA FOR A WHILE AND, I'LL BE LEFT ALL ALONE WHILE WAITING FOR YOUR RETURN"

"No dad... she sorted those things out...there's a nice lady that's a friend of hers that's very nice and hospitable. She said that she's been feeling lonely and that she'd love to have some company. She said that she looked forward to find someone to stay with her for a while since her kids just moved out."

"Sounds...ok... but how will you convince their family to let you stay with them?"
"Dolores proposed the idea of going to their house for dinner tonight. She invited us and the nice lady from the town."
"Ok, tell her that we'll come. If it means letting my little angel feel safer than I'll agree."
"Thanks papí"

They hugged and then Y/n ran back once again to the casita and asked Dolores if she had heard her and her father's conversation, which she said yes, and surprisingly, also abuela said yes.

"Dress elegantly tonight. I still haven't told Camilo that it was gonna be you. He's been searching you for the whole morning now and he said that he hadn't found you before at your house!" Said Dolores

He's looking for me?

Y/n blushed.

"I'll see you at your Casita at 7 ok?"
"Sure, make sure to look good!" She said, and then in a high pitched voice squeaked.

(Camilo's POV)

Where is she, I haven't seen her in days I'm so worried. My heart's beating so fast, what if she got hurt? I should go back now. Maybe Dolores heard her, oh wait, she doesn't even recognise her soft voice.

Camilo started waking back to his Casita with his hands in his pockets.

"Hey hermano"
"Hey" he responded bluntly
"There are guests coming tonight."
"Who?"
"I can't tell you! They're a suprise!"
"Will it be one of Abuela's friends again? They're always so boring"

"No no... someone your age"
"Really? Boy or girl?"
"Girl! And I'm sure you'll like her a lot!"
"No I won't! I already like someone else-"
"And who could that be?"
"IT CAME OUT WRONG NO"

"Save it. I already think I know who it is anyways. You should rest, they're coming at 7."

Camilo then walked up to his room and laid down on his bed. He started thinking about where Y/n could be, and how she mysteriously disappeared the other day. He kept thinking and thinking until he eventually fell asleep.

(It's now 6:10)

"CAMILO! WAKE UP! THE GUESTS ARE GONNA ARRIVE SOON!" Said Pepa, with a stormy cloud on top of her head.

"No mamá, give me five more minutes!"

"IF YOU DONT COME OUT RIGHT NOW THEN I'LL MAKE YOU COME OUT!!"

"FINE FINE, GEEZ-"

He started searching for his yellow ruana, but couldn't find it. He ran downstairs and asked to everyone except for Dolores, if they'd seen it, but they all responded with a simple nod,

Camilo then approached Dolores and without expecting it, she handed him his Ruana with a smirk.

"HOW DID YOU GET THAT?"
"You gave it to someone else before, didn't you?"

He then calculated everything and felt completely confused.

"WAIT...YOU KNOW Y/N"
"Yes dummy, she came by this morning to give you back your ruana and I invited her and her dad to come over for dinner! They are the special guests!"

"Why didn't you tell me that before!!!"
"What, you wanna impress her somehow?"
"What, no! She's my friend and I look horrible right now."

Camilo rushed to his room and started aggressively brushing his hair. He put on his favourite yellow ruana and he started spraying tons of men perfume, at the point that he started suffocating from the toxic air he was breathing in."

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Camilo ran down to open the door before Casita could, but failed.

He saw y/n dressed in a beautiful blue dress, covered with white strokes at the end of the skirt. She had her hair down, and she was wearing some cute, sparkly, crystal earrings.
Camilo looked hooked up. He had never seen her dressed so elegantly. He turned around quickly and he smirked. He then heard the beat of the heart racing from the inside. He excitedly smiled and turned around.

"So you're the special guests! Y/n, it's so nice to see you back!"
"Yea! It's nice to see you too Camilo!"
They both smiled at each other and y/n's father said:

"Hi Camilo, I'm y/n's father, if you remember. He wheeled over and shook Camilo's hand.
What a tight grip he had, thought the father. Good things he's a strong one!

He cheerfully gave him a proud look and he entered the house with his wheel chair.

Camilo then kissed Y/n's hand and said:
"I missed you Mariposa. You look so pretty tonight"
"I missed you too, and thanks. You smell quite...good too! But Camilo?"
"Yea?"
"Tonight I'll have to announce some news... promise me that you will still think of me as a friend after tonight"
"Maybe I'll think of you as someone that's more than a friend!"

Y/n rolled her eyes, and then Camilo took her hand and brought her to the kitchen table.
It was now officially time for dinner.

While Camilo started thinking of all of the food tía Julieta must've prepared, y/n kept thinking positively.

She sat in between Dolores and Camilo while her dad sat next to Bruno and the mystery lady.

Y/n looked at her plate of food and tried to avoid eye contact, even though it felt impossible since everyone was staring at her.
