My sweet, sweet, ol' love.

Godolkin University trained young supe's to their best, and that included Bruno in the way; A man with many talents, but with a stubborn mind, he never quite fit with the usual heroic stereotype, but guessing, no one at Godolkin did. He wasn't so bad to be around, always had your back and so.. But he was alone in this institution for a while.

Until you came.

Bruno didn't know why, but when he was reassigned to be your roommate after almost beating his roommate to death with his fists, he felt like his heart would explode. You were now his everything; Best friend, soulmate, confidant.. He trusted you with all he had. And that was a lot to say about Godolkin's top 7 and most problematic student.

But, recently, he had been noticing you being off; It wasn't just because of what happened recently with the Golden Boy Luke Riordan, nor because Marie Moeur, or however she was called, got ahead to spot 4. No. It was something deeper, and Bruno wasn't going to give up until he knew what was wrong.

After a few days of tailing you, he finally knew what happened: the head of the university was planning on making Bruno fall back and from that, give the spotlight to you. You never told him, he had to just watch from afar as you received the words from one of the direction team of PR.

That crushed him.

He was angry at you for hiding it—for not telling him when you could've Just- I don't know?? Say it?? He was also angry because he was going to get pulled back, and it made his heart ache. All Bruno had been working to archive would be used as a mere boost for your image. For you to reach the top of media.

So he confronted you with that.

Words he didn't mean hit up like daggers, and your own made his eyes water. He was a tough guy, one that no one dared to mess with, but he was still a teenager after all—someone who had just processed that his best friend was betraying.

You two stopped talking from that on. He didn't show up to the dorm, didn't even try to communicate when you sent him messages, and it seemed almost like he was avoiding you. And he was.

Bruno had been demoted, he fell from the top 7 to the 90 in the ranking. It was humiliating..

Yet..

The lowering of ranking didn't affect him as much as he thought it would—sure, he broke some walls and threw stuff around from anger, but it wasn't because of that. It was because his heart clenched and unclenched each time he read your messages that popped when he turned on his phone.

And the last one? He couldn't ignore it.

" Hey, I know you're busy, but I really need you here. This is my big night, but it isn't worth it if you're not here to see me. "

His eyes fixed on the screen of his phone for a few good 5 minutes before he broke off from that engagement. He had to get there—to be there for you even if he didn't forgive you yet. That was what real friends do, even when you two already reached far more from that stage.

So.. Here he was.

Bruno walked through the shadows, having sneaked in without any authorization. The sight of you, standing there and looking outside at the stage made his breath catch in his throat for a minute; The lights made your face shine, glistering with something that Bruno couldn't really understand.

He approached slowly, making his precense unknown by stepping out of the shadows. His expression softened however, once he saw you turn around: It was still you. Standing there, looking like the first day you two met.

Despite his mental image of you changing, you didn't change.
