"Would you want to come with me, Bruno?" you softly asked.
The night has fallen into the kingdom, turning it into a calm place, being the opposite of the daytime when people are running side to side doing their chores.
Your proposal confused him, why did you require his presence at this time? Both of you should be sleeping, a refusal invaded with doubt leaves his mouth.
"I don't think it's appropriate, it's late," he said. It wasn't weird of you to be seen in Bruno's study, but this last visit was out of the ordinary.
"Why? I just want to read with you," the delicate touch of your hand caressed his, accompanying your response. "Tomorrow I have to go back home, I figured we could read something before bed"
The realization came to his mind, the week has passed in no time and he didn't enjoy the time he spent with you. Being so busy and immersed in his new thesis brought to waste the tempo both had together until the next time.
"I completely forgot about your departure, I'm sorry…" his expression became distressed.
"It's okay love, don't worry, you're usually busy with your studies and I understand that." An innocent smile appeared on your face, just to disappear in a matter of seconds, and your gaze dropped to the fancy ground trying to avoid his look. "I didn't want to bother you in your study, but it's late and I have the egoistic desire to be with you, even just a little time before I go"
Bruno's heart ached, the fact that you were asking for a moment with him made the guilt trip fall into him, you are his couple, his significant other. You shouldn't be feeling like this over the wish of wanting time together.
"It's not egoistic!" exclaimed, raising his tone but not enough to be heard by the other people near his room. "It was my bad and I assure you I will amend my mistake if you let me" his sight directed to you, eyes full of hope while looking nervous.
"You don't need to assure anything Bruno, I trust we will have more time together soon" Your hand tightened into his, reminding him of the connection between both extremities, "I have a new book that my mother gave me, it's about poetry and I thought we could read it together, I'm interested in what could be your opinion about it", you said, accompanying with a slight chuckle, already predicting in your mind his reaction.
"That would be great" he smiled, "I have a few things to show you too, your opinion would be helpful" his left arm reached out to a pile of papers on his desk, grabbing the ones that were on top.
The sweet couple passed the last hours of company reading, Bruno despite being the logical type ended up immersed in the romantic poems of your new book, while you tried to understand the difficult topics of his new thesis.
