Work Text:
The night was especially beautiful as a full moon would appear perfectly over the Madrigal home, Camilo snuck you out of your home through your window so you both could watch the stars as you always had for years. That smile that he always gave you seemed different, there was something else in his eyes, akin to a hidden desire. You wished you could read his mind, was he thinking of you?
"Hey, if we go on the rooftop we could get a better view." He suggested, knowing that it was risky, and he really hoped Dolores would stay out of this one, finally Camilo would gather the courage to tell you about how he felt. And he wanted it to be perfect. Slowly the both of you began climbing up the walls using vines, and whatever you could grab onto whilst making it as quiet as possible, although you knew his sister would hear everything anyways. Plopping down in the most comfortable spot with a wonderful view, Camilo scooted a bit closer to you before looking off into the distance.
He sighed, as if prompting you to start a conversation, but you were comfortable with just the silence between the both of you, feeling the warmth radiating off of him. "You're amazing- I mean this idea was amazing, not like you aren't b-but, ah I'll stop now." You stumbled over your words and you felt as if you ruined the perfect moment with your crush/best friend. This was rare but it wasn't, to see Camilo calm and not goofing off and saying some other witty remark, that's how you felt that he had other intentions tonight.
You felt a hand on yours, softly rubbing before it grasps yours with a bit more strength and confidence, and he begins to speak, "You know I care a lot about you right? You are like my favorite person, not even kidding," As he says this, he transforms into you which throws you off a bit but you adjust to it easily, "I have a million good things I could say about you but I'll stick to only 3. Your personality, you understand me, and you're absolutely stunning, and I could go on and on but what I'm trying to say is that I-" He turned back into his original self. "I love you Y/N." You were lost for words as your breath was caught in your throat, watching Camilo smile and stare right into your eyes. A gaze that only showed love, committment and passion.
"And you don't have to return my feelings but I thought I'd just let you know." He shrugged, but you could feel his palm getting sweaty, like he was hiding behind a mask, but deep down he was insecure you wouldn't feel the same way. You leaned in to kiss him on the cheek, then his other cheek, then his forehead before resting yours on his. "I love you too." You whispered breathlessly before planting your soft lips onto his, Camilo's eyes were wide open the entire time which wasn't the most flattering thing for a first kiss but he was shocked. The cold air of the night brushed against your skin, maybe you should've brought a blanket. Camilo pulls you in to hug you, in an attempt to warm you up and to feel your body on his.
"Hey, I know it's a bit early to say this, I mean we're still teens, and I might sound crazy, but, maybe one day you can become a Madrigal."
