First time making a post on this account. This is contains an au where Isabela and Camilo were putted in arranged marriage. I don’t support cousin’s dating, marrying, having kids and etc. I made this au only for angst and because I’m allowed to, since in Colombia cousins can get married. And it was allowed even in 50s (first: why it’s allowed, isn’t it gross??? 😭 second: Encanto is set in 50s, you heard me). Camilo is aged up. The timeline takes place 7 years after the events. Meaning camilo is 22 and Isabela is 29, it’s because I won’t make a 15 year old marry a 22 year old. And… camilo is taller than Isa, let’s go ‼️‼️‼️‼️on like 10+ cm. Maybe more
And I want to say that they don’t love each other romantically, they love each other platonically, since they think what dating your cousin is wrong. Let’s get started.
Isabela was in casita alone, brushing all the mess was done. The dust was flying around the room she was in . She started to clean only minutes ago and almost finished the brushing part. She was brushing the floor of her abuela’s room. The other family members were doing their chores. She wasn’t in the best mood at all. The thoughts couldn’t leave her head alone. She couldn’t brush them away, even with her flowers.
It was about the marriage which happened 3 days ago. Oh! A marriage! Isabela madrigal isn’t alone anymore, because her cousin and sister already dating someone they love. She wished to be married to the person she loves… not to her little cousin. Camilo madrigal. She didn’t loved him romantically and he didn’t as well. They loved each other platonically like any other cousins would do. But, it was normal. It was normal for the cousins to marry in their country. But Camilo and Isabela were absolutely negative about cousins marrying.
They didn’t had other choice at all. They didn’t wanted to disappoint their family, especially Abuela. So they had to pretend like they were happy about the marriage and what the loved each other romantically. Even if they were uncomfortable.
In the past they barely spent time with each other, now they spent almost every day. Usually in Isabela’s room. They would test clothes Mirabel made. One of them was totally not a style people would wear. It was a black sweater, dark blue pants and black gloves. Totally not the style of 50s. But Isabela loved it a lot, what she asked Camilo to not wear it off. Abuela totally didn’t minded when she saw Camilo in it. Abuela also didn’t minded Isabela wearing a colourful dress, because she overheard Isabela saying how she hates wearing purple.
Coming back to her cleaning the mess. As she was brushing the floor, she heard a creak sound. Her eyes widened. She forgot how to breath for a moment, her heart forgot how to beat. But then if started to beat faster and faster. She turned around slowly to see an opened closet. It terrified her a lot, the closet was closed when she entered abuela’s room, so why it’s opened. At first, Isabela started to slowly leave the room and then she ran out of it.
Her heart was beating faster and faster. She looked like she saw a ghost. Her eyes was closed, she was running, hoping to find one of the family members and for them to help her. With her eyes closed, she didn’t even saw her cousin. She accidentally bumped into him, but Camilo reacted fast and caught her. - “next time don’t run with your eyes closed” - he said, still with his hands wrapped around Isabela’s waist. - “yeah, sort for bumping into you!
I need to show you something and also your help!” - said Isabela. It was clear she was in panic and Camilo could see it on her face. - “alright, show me” - he was still wearing the clothes Isabela told him to not wear off. She grabbed his hand and quickly ran in casita to show him the reason why she is panicked.
The entered abuela’s room. - “you see, I just something moving without me moving it and I- “ - she didn’t finished her words, as she looked at the closet again and it opened more in front of her eyes. She screamed and climbed on Camilo. Thanks goodness Camilo can lift her without any problems, so she won’t fall down. - “look! Look at the closet! It opened!” - panicked Isabela. Camilo looked at the closet and the closet seemed to him perfectly fine. But then it moved. Every madrigal knows, what casita moves, opens or closes nothing in abuela’s room, unless Abuela says so.
Camilo tried to find other explanation of closet opening without casita’s magic. He saw an opened window. And it windy in the outside. Not the right explanation. He looked again at the closet and then down. He saw a rat moving it. Ah. - “it was just a rat opening it… a big one you can say” - Isabela opened her eyes and looked down. Yes, it was a rat. As the rat saw Camilo and Isabela looking at her, it got scared and run away. - “haha… I’m sorry, Milo” - looks like Isabela distracted him. - “that’s nothing, at least you’re safe. You don’t mind if I’ll help you, I don’t really have any chores anymore” - Isabela nodded. And then for the rest of the day, they were cleaning casita, talking and laughing.
