Gifted and cursed (Camilo x reader)

Dinner

"We are all grateful for tonight. We're all excited to get to know our guests. Why don't you introduce yourselves?" Excitedly asked Abuela

"I'm y/n. I'm Dolores's and Camilo's friend. I've only got to know them, but I hope I'll get to know everyone better!" Said Y/n

Everyone looked surprised. They didn't know that Camilo knew y/n too , except for Dolores and y/n's father.

"How did you two meet?" Asked Felix
"We just met and chatted" responded Camilo

He slurped his orange juice while avoiding eye contact with y/n.

"Oh and, I'm y/n's father. We've lived in this town for a while now, but we never really talk a lot to the other villagers"

"May I ask why?" Asked Julieta
"Umm.. it's complicated" answered Y/n

How am I ever gonna announce that I'm cursed. I can't just randomly pull that into a conversation. I'll tell Camilo about it privately, I hope his reaction won't be bad.

"Excuse me. I'm very sorry but, could I talk to Camilo privately? Sorry for my rudeness, it's just really personal." Asked y/n, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Not at all" said Pepa.

Camilo reacted confused. Y/n and Camilo walked out of the dinner table and they went outside.

"Is there something we should know about those two?" Asked Pepa while trying to hide a smile

"I don't think so..." answered Y/n's dad, with Antonio and his birds glaring at him from a short distance.

(Back to y/n and Camilo)

"Sooo, what did you want to talk about, Mariposa?"

"Well... there's something you should know about me... I'm, I'm- wait"

"Just say it already" said Camilo impatiently

"I'm cursed..."
"WHAT" Yelled Camilo, he stood there muddled.

"Just let me explain... I'll understand if you don't want to be my friend anymore... I don't want to hurt anyone..." said y/n, while drops of cold water burst out of her eyes.

"I'll never hate you for that... don't worry, you'll always be my friend!"

Y/n sniffed and then started explaining...

After she explained, Camilo hugged her tightly while y/n found herself crying on his shoulders. Not wanting to let go that warm emotion.

At that point, Dolores walked in.

"Camilo... I heard her everyday and, I wasn't sure who she was but I just knew she was a good person...that's why, when she gave back your ruana, we talked about her curse. I think that we should let her stay with us. Her curse are like powers, they're like gifts, but it's harder to keep them in control."

"Yes. Absolutely. Let her stay. I want her to stay safe. She can even stay in my room, there's enough room there." He said without even thinking twice.

"WHAT! CAMILO YOU'RE CRAZY!!"

"You're even crazier, princesa! Now I think that we'll be able to convince abuela."

"Okay, here goes nothing"
You and Camilo held hands, and confidently walked in, ready to announce the awaited moment.
The adults were all busy chatting. They all seemed to have a fun time. Even y/n's father, he was talking to the nice lady, as y/n kept referring too since she still didn't ask for her name.

Camilo grabbed a cup of wine, even though there was no way he wanted to drink that.
He raised used a fork and gave gentle stroke to the edge of the glass of wine.

"Everyone, we have to tell you something"
Everyone turned around, and the first thing they all noticed were Camilo and y/n holding hands. They looked at each other and they started expecting something... different.

"I'm... cursed"

They all looked at y/n, not knowing what to feel.

"Look, me and my family were cursed when my abuelo did something wrong. It brought curses among all of the generations of my family.
A few days ago I've found mine. Whenever I get stressed, objects start floating around in a circular pattern around me and..." she trembled, she was so afraid of continuing that she lowered her head, with strands of her hair covering her wet face from blubbering.

Camilo held her hand even tighter and gave her a mild look.

"Abuela... y/n's my friend and.. I want to help her. We don't have to think about the curse as an actual curse. We're not sure if her curse only consists that. There could be some positive sides of her powers that we still haven't found. She just need some help from people who can relate to her, like us! I know mamá used to have trouble controlling her emotions, but we've figured it out together as a familia!"

Pepa proudly looked at her son, all grown up as a responsible young boy. She walked up to him and kissed his forehead and said:

"I'm with you in this. Y/n, Our family will help you. Right mamá?"
They all turned around to Abuela Alma, not knowing what to expect.

Abuela sighed and said:
"I have felt lost too myself. I believe that everyone needs a little help so... we'll help you, and let you stay in our casita, if you'll agree with this!" The old lady gleefully gave her a delightful glance and nodded slowly.

Y/n couldn't believe it. The madrigals we're gonna help her?

She slowly looked across the dinner table, receiving a light-hearted gaze from everyone.

"Y/n. We're all happy that you're finally gonna feel better from now on and... I've talked to you father a lot. I feel really bad for what you too have been through and I was thinking that, maybe he could stay with me while you'll stay at Casita. What do you think?"

Y/n thankfully gave her a simple nod, hinting her approval.
Y/n's dad jubilantly widened his smiled.

"You can move in whenever you'll feel ready then y/n, welcome to the family madrigal!"

"Hey that's my line!" Jokingly Commented Mirabel

"Where will she be staying then?" Asked Antonio.

"Not your room Antonio. It's so noisy in there."
Said Camilo
"Then what are you suggesting Camilo?" Said Dolores

"You want her to sleep in your room?" Asked Isabela

Y/n reddened.

"She can stay in Mirabel's room, right Mirabel?"

Mirabel gave a thumbs up enthusiastically

"I suggest you to move in tomorrow then. Tomorrow we're taking a day off!" Said Dolores in exhilaration

"Sure! Thank you so much though...it really means a lot..."

"No problem. We're here to help! Now let's eat shall we?" Said Luisa

That night was amazing. I thought there would've been lots of controversies, but everyone seemed happy that I'll soon move in with them. We had so much fun that night. It was the best day. And tomorrow, I'll move in with them. I'll get to see Camilo everyday, not that I care that much about him of course....
Thought Y/n while trying to sleep.
