[ripetuto]

[Today has been...a thing, that's for sure. He doesn't really know how to handle all of this everything, but he can't say he minds it.

Bruno brings over the wine with a smile and Leone can't help but return it and the kiss.]

Not gonna lie, I've like the quiet.

[nellacerniera]

It's nice, isn't it?

[He brings over the food next, settling in next to Leone after.]

Thank you again for today, by the way.

[ripetuto]

It wasn't boring?

[nellacerniera]

Not at all. I loved it.

[ripetuto]

Good. [. . .] I was that anonymous post asking for dating advice, so I'm glad this didn't fail.

[nellacerniera]

That was you?

[He lets out an amused noise as he leans against Leone.]

I almost responded to that post myself.

[ripetuto]

I've never had a partner before. I needed ideas.

[He kisses Bruno's temple.]

I'm gonna kill Narancia.

[nellacerniera]

Fair. If it weren't for the whole thing with the spa, I probably would have similarly been at a loss.

[He pauses as he remembers something, then frowns.]

"Stick in the mud," really...

[ripetuto]

[Another kiss.]

Ignore her.

[nellacerniera]

[He sighs.]

I know I should, but...

[ripetuto]

Save it for tomorrow? So it doesn't ruin our dinner.

[nellacerniera]

That'd be for the best, yes.

[He leans up a bit to kiss Leone's cheek.]

You should try the wine, if you haven't already.

[ripetuto]

--oh, that reminds me.

[He gets up for a moment, but only to get the little box of chocolates he's had stashed away. Some are strawberry filled, some are a little spicy, but most of them are infused with champagne.]

[nellacerniera]

[Bruno lets out a soft gasp as he takes the box.]

Oh... thank you, Leone...

[ripetuto]

Got someone from the gear to make 'em for you. Hope they're good.

[nellacerniera]

[He'll set the box aside for now...]

I'll try them after dinner.

[But also he is absolutely kissing Leone again in the meantime--]

[ripetuto]

[Leone would be more than happy to keep kissing but--]

Dinner's getting cold, Bruno.

[nellacerniera]

Right, let's eat...

[More kisses can happen after they're done.]

[ripetuto]

[But first, Leone will pour some of the wine! And take a sip and then promptly kiss Bruno again.]

Tastes like home.

[nellacerniera]

[Bruno smiles as he returns the kiss.]

Good... I wasn't completely sure, but I wanted it to be as close as possible.

[ripetuto]

You did good. You did perfect, who am I kidding. This whole trip has just been perfect.

[nellacerniera]

I'm glad... [He'll go ahead and start digging in, leaning a bit against Leone.]

To tell you the truth, I was a bit anxious how this would go.

[ripetuto]

Yeah? Why?

[nellacerniera]

Well, the whole spa thing was the big part of it... Beyond that, just... general worries, I suppose.

[ripetuto]

[It is so weird to realize and remember and have to remind himself that yeah, no, Bruno has as much anxiety and worries about things as Leone does. He's so used to thinking of him as their unflappable leader, maybe the future boss.

He doesn't say any of that, though. He just leans against Bruno a little.]
