Description: Headcanons for Bruno with a S/O thatās burnt out.
Content: Canon Divergent, Bruno Bucciarati/Reader, Unspecified Gender, Comfort, Mostly Fluff.
Considering his occupation is incredibly volatile and exhausting, Bruno would be more than understanding of your predicament. There have been times where he was so exhausted after an assignment that all he could do was sleep.
Despite his own turbulent schedule, heād find ways to make your life easier. For instance, Bruno would start preparing meals for you and putting them away for later so youāll have something to eat without the hassle of cooking.
Or, Bruno would make sure your clothes are clean and ready for you in the morning so youāre not worried about what to wear later. (Fortunately, heāll ask you what you want to wear before he does this if you donāt wear a uniform for your job, or your dress code is more lenient.)
Since his profession allows him a bit more leeway when it comes to finances, heād suggest you call off every once in a while to recuperate (but only if you have the ability to do so). Bruno knows that working day after day becomes increasingly soul-crushing, and would prefer that you donāt experience the same mental exhaustion he frequently does.
Whenever your days off align with his, heāll treat you with a homemade dessert of your choosing.
Back in his youth, Bruno would spend time with his mother in the kitchen baking all sorts of confectionery treats. Those memories are something he holds near and dear to his heart, so if he could bake with you like he would her, itād feel like you both are truly building a family together (even if that family is just him and you).
However, if youād prefer some space and alone time, Bruno would be more than understanding of that. Even if he expresses his love for you with quality time, Bruno still enjoys his own privacy and does need time to himself ā especially with how crazy his life is. (Heāll ask you to leave a record on before you leave him be so he has something to help him unwind.)
If you need someone to vent to about your work struggles, I donāt think I could find a better person than him. Heād memorize every detail you share, and make a point to learn everything he can about your situation so he can properly assist you in resolving whatever conflict is bothering you.
Conversely, if youāre simply exhausted from work, Bruno will still be there to listen and provide you support. He wouldnāt think less of you for needing him, and would appreciate that youāre willing to be honest with him about your feelings.
And of course, youāre one of his top priorities. He wants to be there for you.
