[our-gentle-tide]

Hello! You take Encanto requests, right? Anyways, I'm here to request! Can I request headcannons for Camilo who has a plant lover boyfriend? And he also loves cacti like Isabela? Also, if you're okay with this, can you do how the Madrigals would react to Camilo introducing his plant lover boyfriend? Advance Thanks! Also, if you're uncomfortable with this request, feel free to ignore it! I wouldn't want to force you to make this!

Camilo madrigal with a plant loving boyfriend

Wearing: slight homophobia from alma, a bit long :^

A/n: okay the lack of camilo x male/gn reader is bothering me, so any male/gn x encanto requests or ideas are more then welcome. That being said idk if the anonymous button/switch is on for me so I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me and if it ain't on can someone tell me how to get it there? Ik some peeps would rather ask anonymous so I wanna make sure it's available. Also idk spanish so I'm using google translate, feel free to correct any mistakes I make here

Reader: male!reader (he/him)

Say hello to the childhood friends to lovers trope

Ya'll knew each other before camilo got his gift

How did you meet back then? You were close to isabela since you both shared a love for plants

Was he first targeting you two for a prank? Maybe, did he get hit by your messenger bag instead cos he scared you? Yes, Off to a great start, am I right?

You'd quickly apologise if it was your fault but was it? No. You just helped him up and warned him not to do it again

Fast forward to when he got his gift! You gifted him a sunflower patch that you made (with help ofc, you're only 5 after all)

Now to others it's a sweet but simple gift, to camilo tho? It means everything to him that you'd take the time to make it for him! He felt a bit bad after seeing a finger or two that have bandaids on them

Now that you two are both 15, both busy doing their own thing and with chorus. You two no matter what, no matter the situation, always- ALWAYS make time for each other

!More below!

You know under his ruana, he still has that sunflower patch stiched onto his shirt <3

Isn't the biggest fan that you spend a lot of time hanging out with isabela or anyone really

But before when you two were only friends, he couldn't say that much about it

No matter who confessed first, you two were both scared shitless, worried that you'll lose your childhood bestfriend if the feelings aren't mutual

OKAY OKAY RELATIONSHIP HC HERE WE GO–

Camilo is clingy with a capital c! Hugs? He's practically glued to you now, kisses? All the time babe- forehead kisses, nose kisses, cheek kisses, boy smothers you with kisses tbh

Do the same to him and his adorable freckle decorated cheeks have a lovely rosy colour on em

Listen, idc what you say- he's the little spoon- IT'S JUST YOU'RE SO WARM AND COMFY HE CAN'T HELP IT! :((

If you're taller then him 99% of the time he's asking to be carried either on your back or bridal style

Shorter then him? He's carrying you either bridal style or over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes lmao

When he told his family about you two, alma didn't take it well, she takes a moment where she falls back into bad habits about worrying more about the next generation of magic then his feelings but after camilo and the family talk to her, she's okay with it

He calls you his flor, his luz de luna, his amor, his vida ect

Always emphasise on "mi" before the petname when jealous

"Mi flor! I missed you! Who's this?"

Yk? It's not toxic too- quite cute actually. Just remember to reassure him

Pepa and antonio LOVE you sm

Pepa likes talking about herbal tea with you and antonio loves talking about different plants with you in his room with his animals

Félix is just happy for his hijo and enjoys your company

Delores, isabela and mirabel are very happy for 2 reasons

1. You two are adorable boyfriends

2. They tease the shit outta cami :}

At the end of the day camilo is just happy to have you as his boyfriend and the rest if the family are happy for you two as well auela put the wedding plans on a hold they still young

This might as well be just dating hc's honestly..I hope you like it tho! Sorry if it's not what you wanted, I didn't make the gender that obvious too...I think-

[hamilton-one-shots]

Hamilton High School AU 38

When they got in, he gave Alexander the map. "I'll let you choose."

Alexander nodded and carefully scanned the map, wondering where to go. Maybe it was best to just wander and look at all the enclosures- Wait. There was a list of events on the side. There was a baby animal feeding not too far. Perfect! He took John's hand and led him there. When they got there, he got two bags of food and went in with him, letting him see the cute, small animals roaming around.

John smiled widely and gladly took his bag. He knelt down, careful to pull the skirt out from under his knees, and poured some food into his hands, holding it out towards the baby animals.

Most of the animals came to him and ate from his hands, making him smile brightly. It was mainly smaller animals, capybaras, pangolins, and anteaters.

John was in his element, surrounded by small animals. Alexander gave him the remainder of his food so he could get the attention of even more animals, though he hardly needed any help in that area. Even as he ran out of food, they came up to him and nuzzled his hand.

It took almost all of John's willpower to eventually get up and walk away. But he couldn't spend all day petting the animals, unfortunately, and he'd already spent a whole hour there. He got up and went to Alexander, who pulled him into a kiss as soon as he got close enough. It caught him by surprise, but he wasn't complaining. He smiled against his lips and pulled away after a few seconds.

"You pick next, Jackie."

John smiled at the nickname and took the map from him, though he didn't look at it. He already knew where he wanted to go and was surprised that Alexander didn't see it. He opened the door to the indoor exhibit and pulled Alexander inside.

"John, where are you taking.." He trailed off as he saw where they were. It was like a jungle inside with trees everywhere and all around them were birds of all sorts of color and species, a huge mixture of flocks.

"What do you think?"

"This is.." He turned around and practically threw himself into John's arms, hugging him tightly and kissing him messily, whining as he did. He felt ridiculous for getting so emotional, but that was just what birds meant to him. If there were any animal to represent his feelings, it would definitely be birds. The experience brought him overwhelming happiness.

John smiled and hugged and kissed back. "This is why I wanted to come in the first place. I knew you'd like this."

"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you," he repeated over and over, finally calming back down. John truly was a romantic. Now, he needed to get that art program in the school, he had to do something for him. After another minute, he was finally able to let John go and only because he spotted a macaw perched nearby, eyeing the pair curiously.

He slowly approached it and waved slowly, trying his best not to scare it. "H-Hello..."

"Heeerrroooo" the bird squawked in response before spreading its wings and flapping away. Clearly, the birds were used to human interaction. Still, Alexander couldn't help but turn to John and make an awful joke.

"I have a way with birds."

John just laughed and walked with him deeper into the enclosure, finding a curly haired young girl speaking in the center of the building, a bird perched on he gloved arm. It seemed like she was just starting when they got there. John smiled and wrapped his arms around Alexander, wrapping his arms around him from behind.

Alexander leaned into John as he listened to the girl speak.

"I'm Theodosia and this here is Peep. She is a spotted parakeet, one of the friendliest species of birds. She knows all kinds of phrases like-"

"Excuse me, but would you two cut that out!" a mother shouted out over at John and Alexander.

"... Stop what?" Alexander asked.

"You know what. There are children here!"

It took another second, but Alexander understood what she meant and held John's arms tighter when he did. "We're not doing anything.."

"Nobody wants your kind here, especially not his," she spat, pointing at John.

Alexander glared at her. "So, what your saying is we shouldn't do this?" He turned around and pulled John into a kiss, feeling him relax under his touch.

John was more distressed by the negative attention, far too accustomed to it, and associating it with negative consequences, but Alexander made him feel a lot better about it.

Alexander only pulled away when security pulled the lady away and out of the enclosure, smiling at John. "Don't listen to her.. We're okay."

John nodded and smiled softly.

The rest of the crowd dispersed, leaving just the two of them and Theodosia.

John walked up to her with Alexander and smiled. "Hey.. Sorry about making you lose your crowd.. You really seem to enjoy what you do. Would you mind telling us a bit more about Peep?"

"You don't need to apologize. And I can do you one better." She smiled at Alexander. "Want to hold her?"

"Wait, really?" he asked excitedly.

"Yeah, of course. Hold out your arm. Her claws aren't sharp."

Alexander listened and Peep was quick to flutter over. "... Oh my god.." he whispered.

Theodosia giggled and turned to John. "You're John Laurens, right? The artist?"

"Yeah, he's amazing," Alexander responded for him.

"You're so talented! I'm so jealous of what you can do. I draw Peep sometimes, but it isn't nearly as good."

John smiled. "Thank you. I'm sure your art is great. Um... Does everyone know I do those paintings?.." After all, it was kind of illegal.

"Oh, no, my boyfriend's in your year. Mark Prevost?"

"Oh, right. Captain of the soccer team."

"That's him.." she responded a bit dryly, nothing like the energy she used when describing Peep.

John nodded and softly pet Peep, feeling her soft feathers under his fingers.

She nestled her side against John's fingers. "Pretty! Pretty!" she sang, her voice more lyrical than the macaw.

Theodosia smiled. "Peep, can you say John?"

"Pretty! Pretty bird!"

"Same thing," Alexander said as he winked at John, making him roll his eyes playfully.

"Pretty! Pretty John!" She hopped up and flew towards Theodosia's arm... then turned around and landed on John's head. "Pretty! Pretty!"

John yelped a bit in surprise and blushed in embarrassment. "As great as I think she is, can you get her out of my hair? Literally?"

Theodosia nodded and reached up, trying to get Peep out of John's hair. Though, instead of just hopping in her hand, she fluttered over into Theodosia's hair and landed there.

Alexander smiled. "I can't blame her. I'd want to nuzzle up in your hair, too," he told John as he pulled out his phone. "Hey, mind if I take a picture of Peep?"

"Not at all." She smiled.

He snapped the picture and sent it to Aaron subtly with a quick text. [luk up theodoshia in furst yr. marc prevost's gf. shes arty]

[Will do. Give me a minute.]

"You know, if you guys already haven't, you guys should head over to the aquarium. There's all sorts of fish and sharks and turtles."

Alexander smiled widely. "Thank you." He grabbed John's hand and pulled him there, immediately walking to the turtle tank with him.

John smiled and stood right at the glass, watching the turtles swim by. "Aren't they amazing?.." he asked quietly.

Alexander nodded. The turtles were large and majestic as they swam, but they weren't his focus. His focus was the boy watching them. To Alexander, he was the true artwork. The freckles that decorated his skin, the way the dress hugged his curves, the happiness written all over his face, he would give anything to keep him that way. To say Alexander was smitten was a gross understatement.

John stayed against the glass until he had the image etched into his memory, then pulled away and looked at Alexander. "This is amazing.." He held his hand out. "Are you ready to go? I'm starting to get kind of hungry."

Alexander nodded with a smile and took his hand, walking out with him and opening the car door for him when they got there. He got in the other side and smiled as John drove off.

Normally, Jay was the man to go to for looking someone up, but after the events of the day, Aaron messaged Thomas instead. [I need you to get Mark Prevost's girlfriend's number for our society. Her name is Theodosia. Spelling might be off. I heard about her from Alexander. Thank you.]

[On it xx] [ooh, shes a cutie! I'll see what I can do 😉 xx] Typical Jefferson. Malicious intent or not, he was a flirt. [Mark's being a dick. I can't get Theo's number out of him. I'm guessing my rep is still wrecked right now? xx] [Here's Mark's number tho - xxx xxx xxx - xx]

Aaron sighed. "What did he do now?.." [Thank you. I'll try talking to him myself.] He typed in Mark's number and started texting him. [Mark Prevost? This is Aaron Burr. I asked Thomas Jefferson to get your girlfriend, Theodosia's, number from you, but he said you were unwilling to give it up. I understand and I was hoping that you would give her number straight to me instead.] [Alexander Hamilton and I are trying to start a society run by the younger students in order to try to get an art program in our school and Hamilton told me about how Theodosia enjoyed to draw. I am hoping that she would be interested in joining.]

Mark's response came after a few minutes. [wat? no. fuck off.] [theos MY gal. hit on someone single, ass.]

Aaron raised his eyebrows in surprise at the text. [You seem to have misunderstood my text. All I want is to work with Theodosia and other students to get an art program formed in the school. Nothing more.]

[read my last texts again, dumbass]

Aaron tutted. This wasn't going to end well... Maybe this wasn't worth-

[Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: Hello! Sorry if this is the wrong person...! There's lots of Aarons and Burrs on facebook...] [Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: Ok um- so, Mark text me a strange message about you?] [Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: He's awful for starting arguments... I'm sorry </3 But you seem to know me, yes? (^̮^)]

Aaron smiled as Theodosia messaged him on Facebook. She was the polar opposite of Mark, far more pleasant and her texts were littered with sweet emoticons. [Aaron: No, this is the right person.] [Aaron: Thank you for taking the time to contact me.] [Aaron: My peer, Alexander Hamilton, and I are trying to start a society dedicated to getting an art program in the school. He has brought you to my attention because he says you are an artist. We would greatly appreciate it if you could help us.]

[Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: Wait, really??] [Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: OH MY GOSH!] [Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: Woaaah! 💗 Yes! I want to help! That's the best!] [Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: I'll ask some of the girls from my year to help ｡◕‿◕｡] [Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: This is really exciting! Ahaaa~!] [Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: When can we meet up? (˚▽˚)] [Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: Thank you, sir! 💗]

[Aaron: No need to call me sir. Just Aaron is alright.] [Aaron: And, if you are available, I've seen you around at lunch. You, Alexander Hamilton, and me] [Aaron: If not, I'm available to speak most days after school besides Wednesday and I can ask Alexander when he's available.] [Aaron: And, by the way, he's the one who you should be thanking. This was his idea, meant to be a surprise for his boyfriend, John Laurens.]

[Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: Awe! Cute! ❤️] [Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: Dw! My lips are sealed from John! I just met those two today, actually ^_^ They're a cute pair!] [Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: Monday lunch it is! I'll even mark it up in my diary 📒] [Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: Just gotta get the all clear from Mark then we're set to go! 💕]

All clear from Mark? That was a bit odd.

[Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: Mark doesn't like the idea very much...] [Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: We could meet up in the library? Same time, just... Then i can claim to be studying instead of hanging out (^^)] [Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: That sounds bad. Just trust me on this, Kay? 🙃]

[Aaron: That sounds like a plan. The library allows people to eat their lunch in there, after all.] [Aaron: And I trust you. I just hope that Mark doesn't try anything too harmful. He seemed very upset just at me trying to get you into the club.]

[Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: He won't 💕 he'll be with first year tryouts anyway ⚽] [Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: I'm excited for this! 🖌️ It seems like a really nice cause! 💕] [Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: oops! I gotta go! Break's over! 😦 But I'm looking forward to meeting you!] [Theoʕ•ᴥ•ʔ: In the meantime, take a peep at Peep! 🐦] She attached a picture of the parakeet to the message then hit send.

Aaron smiled at the attachment. Theodosia seemed like a cheerful, sweet girl. Meeting her would be a pleasure. [Aaron: She's adorable. She looks like she's fun to work with.] [Aaron: I'll let you get back to it, then. I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow during lunch, as well.] [Aaron: Tell Peep I said hello.]

Theodosia followed up on that quickly. She sent him a quick video. "Okay, Peep. Aaron says hello!"

"Hello! Hello! Peep!"

She giggled and ended the video.

Aaron smiled, feeling his heart swell, and messaged Alexander. [Theodosia is on board for our plan. She'll talk to us Monday sat lunch assuming that Mark allows her to.] Wait.. Heart swell? This wasn't going to end well for him.

[ok gr8!] [is mark liek... her bodygard or sumthin?]

[I don't know. Isn't that just how some boyfriends are?] Not that Aaron would know.

Alexander didn't respond to the message, his attention on John as they walked into the pizza place and were seated. He was sure John would live on pizza if he had the choice. He found himself looking at the calorie counts of the food rather than the actual food itself, but tried his best to push away that habit, distracting himself with John. "I'm having fun today."

"I'm glad to hear that." He smiled and kissed his cheek, then glanced at his closed menu. "Can you try to eat something, please?.."

Alexander sighed and nodded. "I just.. What if I get fat?.." He seemed to think it was genuinely plausible that it would happen anytime soon.

John frowned a bit. It was ridiculous, though not in a laughable sense. "Baby.. Is that what this is about?.." He cupped his cheek gently. "You have a lot of people who love you too much to ever let you get to an unhealthy weight. But the problem right now is that you're underweight.."

Alexander sighed and leaned into his touch. He appreciated the support, but the problem was going to be getting it to sink in.. "I read somewhere that when you don't eat for a long time, you gain weight really easily because your body doesn't trust you to keep eating.."

John sighed. "I'm not going to make you eat a lot. I just want you to try, okay?.."

Alexander nodded hesitantly.

"You know.. I used to have trouble eating, too.. After my mom.. When we first moved here, I couldn't get myself to eat enough.. Laf noticed that I got really weak really fast and helped me get better.. It was how we first became friends.." He smiled a bit.

"Laf has a talent for making things better.." He smiled a bit and kissed John's hand, feeling better.

John let his hand fall and kissed his cheek, then smiled as the waiter came and took their order. He ordered some pepperoni pizza and a soda for the both of them.

When it got there, Alexander gulped and picked up his slice, taking a small bite. "... Lee said that I'd balloon up if I ate too much..."

John frowned. From what he knew, Lee was only in Alexander's life for a short period, but he seemed to have left a deep mark. "Well, Lee is an idiot and you shouldn't take some advice from idiots."

"Okay.." He took another small bite. ".. Me and Aaron are working on a project for the freshman... A student dance fundraiser... That's why I keep talking to him... We're going to ask Theodosia to help us..."

John smiled. "That sounds like fun. Maybe I can help with decorations or something."

"Oh.. Er..." This was awkward. "We were hoping to keep it to just underclassmen... Since it affects them more.." John wanted to be an art teacher. This could be great for him in the future.

"Okay.." John nodded, though a bit disappointed. He couldn't complain about Alexander doing his own thing. "Maybe Madison has some new work for me." [Hey, Madison. Do you have any projects or galleries to let me know about? Just thought I'd ask.] "And I do have some commission pieces I can work on."

Just his name gave Alexander chills. But he swallowed his jealousy just as John had and ate. He even managed to eat a slice and a half all on his own.

John smiled when he saw. "Wow, you're doing great! I'm proud of you." He kissed his cheek.

Alexander smiled at the praise and turned, kissing John softly. "Thanks.."

He returned the kiss with a smile. "No problem. Why don't we go watch a movie at my apartment?"

"That sounds nice.."

John called the waiter over for the check and paid for it, ignoring Alexander's protests, then got up to leave with him. As they walked out, their waiter came up to John and tapped his shoulder.

"Excuse me, sir, you forgot something."

He turned around. "What?"

"My number." He winked and handed John a piece of paper.

Alexander glared and opened his mouth to snap, but was stopped as he felt John pulling him towards the exit. Wasn't he going to say anything?..

John balled up the paper and threw it in the trash as they walked.

Alexander glanced behind them and felt himself let out a breath he didn't realize he'd been holding as he saw the waiter's rejected expression. He was being stupid... John wouldn't do anything to hurt him.
