Bruno fixed his tie and grabbed a comb to fix his hair. When he was done he took one last glance in the mirror and decided he looked fine. He walked into his room and gathered a few papers, looking over them, and he left his bedroom. Bruno looked at his watch and decided he would tell you 'goodbye' before leaving for work. He quietly approached your door and knocked on it. He didn't hear anything on the other side and he grabbed the handle, twisting it and looking into the room. You were still in bed sleeping. Bruno slowly walked into the room and he sat down on the side of your bed. He put a hand on your shoulder and shook you a little bit. 

   " Y/n. . .I need you to wake up for a second. Y/n. . ."

You slowly opened your eyes and looked up at Bruno. When you opened your eyes and looked up at Bruno, you could see the sunlight coming in from your window and hitting him. When the sunlight hit him he looked like an angel because the light hit him perfectly to make him look angelic. 

   " Yes? "

   " I wanted to tell you that I was leaving and going to work. I'll be back in the late evening but if you need anything just give me a call. "

   " Okay, I'll see you when you get back. Now, let me sleep for a little while longer. "

   " Okay, I'll see you later. " Bruno said smiling.

You nodded and shut your eyes to go back to sleep. Bruno smiled feeling the butterflies flutter in his chest. He knew he liked you, but he didn't want to ask you on a date while you were at college. He didn't want to ask because you only came back for small holidays and now in the summer. So, he didn't want to ask or put anything on you while you were away most of the time, but he had a plan for this summer when you were back in town. He just needed to wait for work to die down before he asked you anything.

   " I'll be back later. "

He took his hand off your shoulder and stood from the bed to leave the room and go to work. The morning was cool and it felt nice to step out of the house. He got in his car, rolled his windows down, and started driving to work. You got up a couple of hours later and sat up in bed looking at the time. It was eight in the morning when you finally got out of bed. You got a shower and wore some comfortable clothes around the house. While you looked around the house, you saw that it was still really messy. 

   ' I think, I'll clean the house a bit and then make dinner tonight. As thanks for letting me stay here. It shouldn't be that hard if I can just get started. '

You first walked to the kitchen and started throwing away all of the pizza boxes and thai food boxes. Once those boxes were out of the kitchen and in the trash, you put the clean dishes up and put the dirty dishes in the washing machine. You grabbed some cleaning supplies and cleaned around the kitchen and moved to the living room. You gathered all of the papers and set them in a neat stack on the table and then wiped the coffee table off. Once everything was wiped and cleaned off you looked for a vacuum cleaner To clean the floors and the cushions on the couches. When everything was cleaned you put all of the cleaning supplies away and left the house. You were going to walk to the store and get groceries to make dinner. 

   ' I wish I still had my car. '

Before you went off to college for your third year your mother had asked for her car back. The car was in her name still and she needed it back so she could get groceries. Your brother's car wasn't in the best condition and it eventually broke down on the side of the road and she wanted her car back. Bruno helped you move to college and get everything moved in. 

   " I'll need to get some herbs, maybe chicken, but I don't know about that yet. And then just some small things. " You told yourself. 

You walked down the neighborhood and when you got to the store you decided to take a cab back to Bruno's house. You didn't want to walk that long way back with groceries in your arms. You went through the store and grabbed what you needed for dinner and for lunch. After everything was in your basket you called a cab before checking out at the cash register. You had worked over your college life and saved up vacation days so you would have time to leave for the summer instead of working. You used that money to pay for the ingredients you needed and for the cab to ride home. When you got to the house you put everything away and made lunch for yourself. You didn't do too much the rest of the day and watched TV and relaxed until you saw the time. Bruno would be home in an hour. 

   ' I better start cooking then. '

You grabbed what you needed from the fridge and started cutting all of the ingredients. You made sure not to cut your fingers as you sliced the food and set it in a pan to sear. You played some music as you cooked and time seemed to fly but and you were done. You brought out two plates and filled them with food and setting them on the island to eat. 

   " Now, I can either call him or just eat. "

You thought for a moment and decided it would be best if you called and asked when he was coming home. You picked your phone up form the counter and turned the music off and dialed his number. The phone rang until Bruno finally picked up. 

   " Hey. "

   " Hey, when are you coming back? "

   " Uhh in two minutes, why? "

   " No reason. "

   " Nevermind, I lied, I'm coming home now. "

   " I thought you needed two minutes. "

   " Usually when someone says there's no reason that means either you lied to me and you want me home for emotional reasons or you've done something to the house that I could possibly be upset about. "

   " Just come home before the food gets cold. "

   " You made food? "

   " Did I say it would get cold? "

   " I'm on my way as we speak. Make sure it doesn't get cold. "

   " Someone seems eager all of a sudden. "

   " Because it's your food. Usually when you cook it's really really good. I'm getting in the car now. I'll be there in four minutes if I hit all of the green lights. "

   " Don't seed! You're a cop! "

   " That gives me incentive to speed! "

The call ended and you assumed he was on his way, and checked on the dessert in the oven. You made molten chocolate cakes in small dishes and they were rising slowly. They would be done by the time Bruno got to the house and started eating, giving them enough time to cool off before eating them. You walked to one of the chairs by the island and sat down. You pulled one of the bowls of food towards you and started eating the contents inside. You were only able to get three bites in when the front door was thrown open. Bruno shut the door behind him, locking it, and he went straight to the kitchen without taking his shoes off or worrying about where he put his stuff. He sat down beside you and started eating the same food out of his bowl.

   " So... good. "

Bruno stuffed his face with the food, without thinking and without taking a breath of air. You thought he was going to choke by how fast he was eating.

   " Please slow down. You might choke. "

   " But it's so good. Can you please open a restaurant? I would go there everyday to just get a portion of your food. "

   " Maybe in the future but right now, no. "

   " And do I smell chocolate? "

   " I have some molten chocolate cakes in the oven for dessert. "

   " I'm so glad I offered to let you live with me. "

   " This isn't happening everyday you know. "

   " I know but when it does I'll be home earlier than usual. "

   " It's not that good. "

   " If you can't taste how good this is then you need to go to a psych ward. Because this is fucking amazing. "

You rolled your eyes at him and finished off the last of your dinner and walked to the oven to pull out the small ramakins. There were six ramakins in the oven and they had risen above the cup. You took them out one by one and let them rest for ten minutes before taking a knife and cutting around the edges. You placed a plate on top of the dessert and flipped them. When you took the ramakin off the cake came out perfectly and you slid the plate over to him. He had just finished up his dinner and he cut into the small cake. Chocolate poured out of the center of the cake and he took a bite.

   " Please own a restaurant! "

   " Stop saying that! "

You repeated the process with another cake and cut into it, having the same chocolate flow from the center. You ate all of the cake and set the plates in the sink to wash later. You put Bruno's in the sink and he stood from the island.

   " Thank you, Y/n for making dinner. You didn't have to. "

   " It's a thanks for letting me stay here for the summer. And I thought you could use some home cooked food after seeing all of the takeout you got. "

Bruno smiled at you and you could feel a small heat rise to your face from his bright and happy grin.

   " Well, thank you. I really appreciate it. "

   " No problem. "

You headed to your room upstairs and pulled your laptop from the charger. You sat down on the bed and logged into your laptop. You started looking through your college account and making sure your classes were already set up for the fall semester. 

   " Hey, I wanted to ask you something. " Bruno said leaning on your door frame.

   " What is it? " You asked looking up from your laptop. 

You noticed Bruno's hands were in his pockets and he walked further into the room. His eyes looked around before landing back on you.

   " Would you want to do something this weekend when I'm off? Catch up on what's been happening since Christmas? "

   " Sure. Sounds fun. What all would we be doing? "

   " Well, I'm thinking we wake up, eat breakfast, and then take a walk around the park before taking a drive around the town and country side. It's supposed to be nice and cool that day. "

   " Is that all you have planned? "

   " It's all I have so far. Why do you want to do something else? "

   " No, no I like what you have so far. Are we going to be together all day? "

   " I would like that but I know you would get tired of me-"

   " Let's make it an all day thing. We can do everything you said and then go on a picnic for lunch. After that we can pick what's next. "

   " Okay, sound good. And one more thing? "

   " Uhuh? "

   " Let's make it a date. "
