A Funny Coincidence

“Miguel, I didn’t understand Shakespeare when he said ‘love was a smoke made of sighs’,” Bruno said to thin air, holding a silver ring. “But when I met you, I started to get it.”

“You make me feel…uh…you make me…” he trailed off, eyes falling to the brand new shoes he had bought yesterday. 

He turned to one of his rats, Roberto, sitting on his bedside table and watching him in fascination. 

“Is there a word for feeling like you’re about to poof into a cloud of mist and be whisked away by a light breeze, but, y’know, in a good way?” Bruno asked, tugging on the collar of the short-sleeved, red button-up he had on only for special occasions. 

The rat just sniffed and started cleaning himself in response. 

Bruno plopped down on the bed, head held low, rolling the ring around in his fingers. 

The idea of marriage popped into his mind a couple of weeks ago. At first, the thought scared him. After all, when would he have ever considered marriage? Marriage was never meant for him. Someone who had an entire horde of rats as their pets and can’t maintain eye contact for more than five seconds isn’t exactly marriage material. It was just a far-off daydream, that was all it was going to be, but then he started to think about it. 

Marrying Miguel…it was so easy to think about. They were practically together all the time, so why not take the next step and make it official? Bruno loved Miguel, he knew that already, he loved how he took pride in his job, how he always kept whatever little trinket Bruno would give him, even his little idiosyncrasies. Like how he had to leave the room whenever Bruno ate ajiaco, how he would purse his lips whenever he was deep in thought, or how he would talk to the rats just like they were family…

So, yeah, he knew he wanted to marry this man. He knew it had to be perfect, with rose petals floating in the air, a beautiful sunset behind them, and a violin playing nearby.

Okay, maybe he didn’t know anyone who could play the violin, but there would be one in his head and that was enough for him.

So, when he saw that ring up for display, practically calling his name, he knew it was meant for Miguel.

But now, that tiny little voice in the back of his head that had been whispering these last couple of weeks had gotten louder, telling him that he was making a big mistake. He tried to ignore it, to focus on the positive, but he couldn’t stop his stomach from tensing with anxiety and his brain from flooding with those thoughts. 

What if something goes wrong? What if he thinks it’s all a big joke? What if I trip and fall and break my nose? What if I get a sudden vision? What if he says no? What if-

Tak Tak Tak

A sudden knock on the door pulled Bruno out of his spiral. 

“Bruno? I need to talk to you,” Julieta’s voice could be heard from the other side.

SOOOOOOO...IM BACK....

I have not been giving this blog that much attention and I'm sorry abt that. I've been busy juggling college with a whole bunch of other stuff, plus, I'm just not as big of an encanto fan as I once was. I don't want to say that I'll never post here again, I might post here every once in a while, write an encanto story here or there, but i'll definitely end up posting less and less. But that's ok! Change is a part of life and I'll still always love encanto, this scraggly old rat man has changed my life in a lot of ways. without him, I don't think I'd be writing and posting my stories as much as I do now.

I've been writing this story on and off for the last two years, losing interest and then regaining interest. I wanted to make sure this was as good as I could make it to be. Am I a perfectionist? Absolutely, thank you for noticing!

But anyway, below u can find the rest of the story, and other fics by me starring Bruno and his...well I don't want to spoil the ending of the story for you. Enjoy!

[coolunclebruno]

I hope to die before I lose it💔

Please help me reunite him and rebuild our lives👏🏻

Bruno and Miguel wake up together in bed, but it seems Miguel has something that needs to be taken care of...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Bruno slowly awoke to the sound of birds chirping outside and loud guttural snoring. He opens his eyes to the view of sunlight peeking in through the blinds of the window and the shadows dancing on the chalk-white ceiling above him. He feels his legs criss-crossed with another pair of legs, the owner pressed up against him.

It was Miguel, his friend turned lover and the source of the snoring, fast asleep. His curly salt and pepper hair was draped down his back and a strand of drool oozed from his open mouth. 

Bruno had never seen such a beautiful sight.

Bruno has been acting more stranger than usual and Pepa's going to figure out why.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pepa usually never batted an eye towards her brother's strange mannerisms these days. The hallways are gritty and dirty from all the sugar and salt he’s thrown? Big deal. Bruno is stuck in the dining room because he keeps miscounting the number of times he’s knocking on the table? That’s just another Tuesday for Pepa. 

But lately, his odd behavior is beginning to get even more odd, if that is even possible. Not only that, but it feels as if she was the direct recipient of said behavior. Why, she has no idea. 

It had started when she had begun to date Félix Chicote, the handsome and kindhearted son of the local innkeeper...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HIII yes, I know it's been a long while, a lot of things have been happening in my life. I'm going into my second year of college, I have a boyfriend and I have a new job! However, I still have something in the works and then a project I've had in the works for a while! So stay tuned and make sure to head over to a03 to read my other fics!

[coolunclebruno]

What do you think of Mariano?

I like him...for the most part.

Alright, look, I'm still a bit suspicious of how fast he changed his opinion on Dolores. One second, he's sad over losing Isa, and the next, he's in love with Dolores? I mean, he seems like a sweet kid, not that bright, though.

I'm not kidding about that, by the way. He was over for dinner last night and asked how I was able to fit inside the walls, and if my gift also included making myself bigger or smaller...

Hmm...maybe I actually don't have anything to worry about, then...plus, Dolores seems happy with him...

Still got my eye on him, though...

[coolunclebruno]

Don’t underestimate me! I can be sexy if I want to, just ask Miguel-

…

…What’s that? Oh, was that too much?

My very first animation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ This took me nearly a week to put together, from drawing and coloring each frame to trimming and synchronizing the audio as best I could. The latter comes from a Youtube video of Bruno's voice actor John Leguizamo hosting "The Daily Show", mixed with a clip of "Songbird" by Kenny G.

[coolunclebruno]

Miguel: Oh! I didn't expect my picture to be taken.

Hola everyone! Long time no see.

Ah, don't mind me! Just looking for a good book to read.

I'm also wondering if I should get a coffee or an espresso, too...

Week one of @encanto-extended-edition;

Please welcome; the new and improved Miguel Herrero! (I decided to delete the original introductory post cause I wasn't satisfied with it.

Pronouns: He/Him

Age during movie: 51

Eye Color: Hazel Brown

Hair Color: Black with silver streaks

Height: 5'6

Occupation: Ceramicist/Potter

Miguel is a very extroverted and friendly, yet sensitive soul. He's always willing to lend a hand to whoever is in need, and can start a conversation with just about anyone and is good at listening. However, he has a tendency to take things to heart.

3 interesting facts about Miguel are;

He loves chickens and even has a chicken coop in his backyard.

He is horribly afraid of spiders.

He cut off the tip of his finger in a carpentry accident.

Rough Bio underneath cut!

Miguel’s father, Alejandro, died when Miguel was five, leaving his mother, Michelle, to raise him, his brother, Vicente and his sister, Fatima. Miguel doesn’t remember his father much, but his mother took good care of him and his siblings. 

Miguel’s brother, Vicente, was a hard-working and ambitious young man, and was also Miguel’s best friend. Unfortunately, while out on a hunting trip, his family received a vision from Bruno foretelling his death, and he would die after falling from his horse entering back into the Encanto, at the age of 24. Miguel’s family was devastated, and Miguel harbored a deep resentment and hatred for Bruno for some time, before something happened that made him see the seer very differently. Soon, the two would unexpectedly become good friends, Miguel teaching the man to let go a little, and Bruno teaching Miguel how to appreciate quiet and solitude. 

In his mid-thirties, Miguel would become an apprentice for Hugo Aguinaldo, one of the best ceramicists/potters in the Encanto. Hugo would teach Miguel everything he knew, and would treat him like a son. He was even the first person Miguel would come out to. When Aguinaldo passed away, Miguel was heartbroken, but would be forever grateful to the man. 

Miguel is very happy to have Bruno back, but with his return, comes some new feelings to bubble to the surface…

Art belongs to my friend Jay on twitter, @overly-dramatic-artist and lord_madmyth on insta! Thank you guys so much!

BIG NEWS!

Hello everyone! I have some big news! I have given Miguel a complete makeover, I've changed his personality, appearance, his backstory, etc.!

Now you're probably wondering why I did that. I wasn't satisfied with how I had characterized him, and I had grown bored of his design.

So! without further ado, here is the brand new Miguel Herrero!

These were done by my bestie Jay, you can find him on tumblr and on twitter!

Now, onto his new bio!

Miguel was born in 1899 in an unnamed Colombian village to Diego Alejandro Herrero and Michelle Ordóñez. He was their second child, their first child and Miguel’s older brother being Vicente, who was 5 when Miguel was born. Miguel was two years old when his family fled along with Alma and the rest of the future residents of Encanto. When he was 8 years old, one year after the Madrigal triplets got their gifts, his younger sister, Fatima, was born. When Miguel was 19, his family received a prophecy from Bruno, a prophecy that foretold their eldest son would die in an accident. Vicente was on a hunting trip with friends at this time, so they had no choice but to wait in fear for news of his death. However, Vicente did not die on the trip, but instead would tragically die coming back into the Encanto, after his horse got spooked and kicked him off, causing him to land head first on a sharp rock, killing him instantly, at the age of 24. Miguel’s family was devastated, and Miguel, for some time, blamed Bruno for Vicente’s death, and hated him for it. Four years after Vicente’s death, Miguel would get into an altercation with Bruno, where after drunkenly berating Bruno for his brother’s death. Bruno, in a fit of anger, pushed him down, then tearfully explained how he had no control over the future and ran off. Miguel pondered this information for some time, before apologizing to Bruno for his misdirected anger. Though they did not immediately reconcile after that, they eventually became good friends. When Miguel was in his early 30’s, he realized he was gay, but did not tell anyone immediately.  He would have several relationships with multiple men, with one of them being none other than Osvaldo Ortiz. Around this time, Miguel was beginning to take interest in ceramics and pottery, and would become the apprentice of Hugo Aguinaldo, who taught him everything he knew about working with clay. Miguel looked up to Aguinaldo, seeing him as a father figure, and he was the first person Miguel would disclose his sexuality to. Miguel was heartbroken when Aguinaldo died, but would always be grateful for what the man teached him. He would also develop a love for chickens and would build a chicken coop behind his house, where he kept 5 chickens. When Bruno disappeared, Miguel was confused and saddened by his disappearance. Despite the town sentiment towards Bruno, he would always defend Bruno's name whenever it was brought up. When Bruno came back, Miguel was shocked to discover he had been living in the walls, but was still happy to have him back.

I hope you guys like the new Miguel!

[coolunclebruno]

H-hi guys! Now I know what you’re thinking, what in the heck is Bruno wearing?

Well, the thing is, I got this to show, uh, Miguel, and I didn’t know who to go to to see if this looked good. I can’t go to my nieces and nephews, and I don’t want to go to my sisters, I’m not looking to get teased.

So what do you guys think?

[coolunclebruno]

Hey guys! I decided to put my hair up into a bun today, it’s too humid out for me to have it down!

What do you guys think of it?

[coolunclebruno]

I gave him a croissant, so he’s managed to calm down a little now!

Hey I’m back! How are you feeling-

Oh! I see you were watching a movie, and a pretty good one at that! What did you think of-

Oh.

Oh boy.

[coolunclebruno]

Hey I’m back! How are you doing-

Oh! I see you were watching a movie, and a pretty good one at that! What did you think of-

Oh.

Summary: Bruno has a hard time falling asleep because he can only think about his best friend, Miguel.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bruno couldn’t sleep.

It was roughly midnight. Everyone in Casita, everyone in the Encanto for that matter, was asleep, but here was Bruno, tossing and turning.

How could he sleep, when all he could think of was his friend, Miguel?

Today he went over to Miguel’s home and helped him in his garden on what was a considerably hot day, but he really didn’t mind helping him. After all, what are friends for?

…He did have a hard time keeping his eyes from wandering over to Miguel, though.
