Bruno and Boots (books) headcanons b/c i just binge read the first 3 books (I don’t own the others) in 24 hours
- Boots has anxiety. (If anyone is surprised by this I’m surprised but like... someone had to say it.)
- “False Confidence” is THEIR SONG. Or rather: it kinda reminds me of Bruno finding out that Boots’s parents are lowkey homophobic/kinda emotionally problematic (not abusive, but DEF not healthy either), and Bruno trying to comfort his bf.
- They’re one of those couples that either has a very “We fell together naturally- yes we’re dating but dont ask me when it started b/c I’ll either say the moment I met him or sometime yesterday” or a super long, drawn out, angsty confession, and very little in-between.
- They bicker all the time but Bruno is actually very sweet and worried abt consent/boundaries and stuff but he doesn’t act like it. It took Boots a while to figure this out. At first, Bruno never asked him “is this okay” “are you comfortable”, he would just create a situation where Boots would have to meet him in the middle for anything to actually happen. This does not work for Boots at all, who can be a bit oblivious and needs open communication. This is probably why their confession would take a while, because both of them had completely different ways of getting there that they almost didn’t get there at all.
