Daniel Brühl One-Shots [Discontinued]

Roommate | Daniel Brühl

I was reluctant to get out of bed to help my roommate Daniel start packing. He was going to move in with his girlfriend; knowing that he was going to move out made me feel sad. Not only was I going to miss him because he is my best friend, but because I have feelings for him. I haven't told him how I feel mostly because I'm afraid of losing his friendship. Plus I'm pretty sure a guy like him wouldn't develop feelings for someone like me. I let out a deep sigh after rubbing the sleep in my eyes; I didn't want to get out of bed at all honesty. The thought of Daniel moving out kept entering my head, making me feel depressed. 

The sound of a knock on my bedroom door took me out of my thoughts. "Daniel, is that you?" I asked curiously. I wasn't sure if one of my friends had visited me and just knocked on my door instead. "Yeah, it's me. May I come in?" He asked curiously. "Sure. What's up?" I said as I pulled my soft blankets better around me. "I was just checking on you. You slept in longer than you usually do, and I was a little worried. Are you not feeling well?" He said with slightly furrowed brows as he sat down on the edge of my bed. I told him I wasn't feeling well, but I didn't exactly tell him what was wrong. I just said that I didn't feel good. He gently placed the back of his hand against my forehead to see if I had a temperature, which I didn't have. 

"Do you think you can eat something for breakfast? I can make it if you want me to and you can stay in your pajamas." He said. His kindness made me feel warm inside, but then it made feel sad. It made me think of how lucky his girlfriend was to have him. "Thank you. Pancakes would be nice." I replied. He got up and left my bedroom before I got out of bed. Then I walked into the bathroom to make myself look presentable. I did stay in my pajamas though; I didn't feel like changing my clothes. After that I joined him in the kitchen just to watch him. He has the most beautiful big brown eyes that make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. A handsome face, cute nose, a big heart, and everything I've always wanted in a boyfriend. Just for a little while I could pretend that he was my boyfriend making me breakfast. 

The thought gave me butterflies, and I could feel myself blush. I wished that I could tell him how I feel, but I knew it didn't really matter since he has a girlfriend. I've had to see them together on multiple occasions whenever she would visit him here. And the way he looks at her always breaks my heart. He's so happy and I didn't want to ruin his happiness. I folded my arms on the table and then rested my head on my arms. "Do you really have to move out?" I asked in a small voice as he sat a plate of pancakes in front of me. They were covered in fruit with some whipped cream. "I know you don't want me to leave, but you'll find a new roommate. You're so easy to get along with and you're an amazing person." He said as he sat down at the table in front of me. "But I don't want a new roommate..... I want you." I said, and felt a little embarrassed. I sounded almost like a child.

The look in his eyes softened and he placed one of his large hands on top of mine. "I'm sorry, y/n. I'm going to miss you like crazy too but I'll always come and visit you. And you can call or text me whenever you want." He said in a soft tone. I just stared down at the pancakes and slowly started eating even though I wasn't really hungry anymore. But I didn't want to waste the food, especially since he was kind enough to make me something. He gently rubbed the top of my hand with his thumb, and my insides ached a little. His phone started ringing; I knew it was his girlfriend because she would call him at the same time almost every day. "I love you, Daniel." I whispered under my breath once he was far enough away where he wouldn't hear me. 

I finished my food and drank my coffee before washing the dishes. Then I walked into the living room to watch a little tv. I faintly heard Daniel's voice, but I didn't really hear what he said. I was zoned out. "Hey, did you hear me?" He asked once he caught my attention. "No. I'm sorry." I said, feeling embarrassed again. "It's okay. I just said that I can pack my things by myself if you aren't feeling good." He said sweetly, as he gently rubbed my arm. "I can help if you want me to." I said as I shut the tv off. He told me I didn't have to once again, but I wanted to be next to him. I wanted to spend as much time with him as I could. We went into his room and he asked if I could pack up his books. I did as he said, but I packed each book slowly. But I kept the ones he let me borrow next to me. Not that I was going to keep them or anything. It's just that they held good memories for me. 

"You know, you're supposed to put the books in the box right?" He said in a joking way as he sat down next to me. When I looked up at him he brushed some hair out of my face; his fingertips slightly brushed my face, giving me goosebumps. My heart beat speeded up and butterflies filled my stomach. I was pretty sure I was blushing too. "I know, it's just... these are all of the ones you let me borrow." I said softly as I looked away and started putting those books into the box. "Well... which one was your favorite?" He asked curiously. I think for a few moments before telling him the book I liked the most. He then reached into the box before handing it to me. "Keep it. I can always buy another one." He said with a soft look in his beautiful brown eyes. "It's okay, you don't have to give it to me." I said, feeling a little awkward. "It's okay, I want you to keep it." He said with a small smile on his handsome face. 

I took the book and thanked him for letting me keep the book. I helped him pack a little longer before we ordered a pizza for lunch. We were in the middle of eating when someone knocked on the apartment door. "I'll get it." He said as he wiped his hands on a napkin. I watched as he walked towards the door. When he opened it I saw his girlfriend standing in the hallway; as soon as they saw each other they smiled and hugged each other. "Hey, baby. I wasn't expecting you to come over to see me." He said with a happy sounding voice. When she walked in they hugged and kissed a little. My insides ached and I quickly looked away. Suddenly I wasn't hungry anymore. I threw away my trash before going into my bedroom where I sat down on my bed. 

I wanted to leave them have some time alone. Plus I just couldn't handle how much it hurt seeing them together. I covered up with a soft blanket and cuddled it, pretending that Daniel was holding me in his arms. 'i'm so pathetic.' I thought inside of my head as I slowly started to fall asleep. When I woke up I could smell spaghetti cooking from the kitchen. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and wondered what time it was. When I looked at the clock I seen that it was six o'clock in the evening. I slowly got out of bed and walked into the living room. I could see Daniel cooking in the kitchen. His girlfriend was no longer there, so I figured she had went to her own apartment. "Hey, that smells delicious." I said sleepily as I entered the kitchen. "Thanks. Hey... are you feeling okay?" He asked before giving me a cozy hug. 

I buried my face into the crook of his neck and breathed in his cologne. His scent has always been something that could help me calm down and feel safe. I wanted to tell him how I feel, but I knew I couldn't. Especially since his girlfriend was just here to see him. I knew i had to let him go and move on, but I wasn't sure if I could.
