Daniel Brühl One-Shots [Discontinued]

Roommate | Daniel Brühl - Part 2

A few days had passed and practically half of the apartment was all packed up in boxes. It felt so strange without Daniel's stuff around. I knew the day for him to officially move out was coming soon, and it didn't improve my mental or emotional state. I've been spending a lot of time sleeping and I haven't been eating much. I knew Daniel was worried about me, but it wasn't like I could tell him how I was feeling. His girlfriend has been around helping more often. I just felt so awkward and guilty whenever she was around. I had just gotten out of the shower when I heard a commotion going on in the living room. 'What the hell is going on?' I thought inside of my head as I dried off and got dressed. The last thing I heard were two doors slamming shut. 

When I stepped out into the living room I didn't see Daniel or his girlfriend. They were getting the last of his things packed for his move. It was strangely quiet and I got the feeling that something bad had happened. So I walked over to his bedroom door and knocked. There wasn't an answer, so I waited a little before knocking again. "Daniel, are you okay?" I asked curiously. There still wasn't an answer. I tried the doorknob and found that it was unlocked. Daniel was sitting on his bed with his head in his hands. He was crying quietly, and it broke my heart. "Hey, what's wrong?" I asked softly as I sat next to him. I rubbed his back a little. When he realised it was me he pulled me into a tight hug that was slightly uncomfortable. I didn't say anything, because I knew he was upset. I just wanted to comfort him like he comforts me all the time. 

A few minutes passed before he eventually calmed down, and I gently wiped the tears from his face. The sadness in his big brown eyes made my insides ache. All I wanted to do was take all of his heart ache away from him. "What happened?" I asked softly as I brushed some of his hair away from his face. He handed me his phone after scrolling through it a little. When I looked at the screen my jaw dropped in shock. It was a few pictures of his girlfriend with another man; they were kissing and holding hands. It looked like the two of them were on a date. "My friend sent them to me a little while ago before I confronted her, making her storm off. We broke up. I guess you got your wish... I won't be moving out after all." He said in a scratchy kind of voice, and my heart broke for him. "I never meant for this to happen. I can't believe she would cheat on you. You're just so... sweet and wonderful." I said as I hugged him again. 

"You're sweet and wonderful too. So... so sweet." He whispered next to my ear, giving me goosebumps. The two of us hugged and I played with his soft hair a little to comfort him. Eventually he fell asleep and I covered him up with a blanket. I felt so bad for him because he was so in love with her. 'How could she have cheated on such a perfect man like him?' I wondered. It made me mad knowing that she just broke his heart like she didn't even really love him. I pressed those thoughts aside as I started making lunch for Daniel and I. When I stepped into his bedroom again he was still sleeping, so I gently woke him up. "What time is it?" He asked in a sleepy voice. "It's two o'clock in the afternoon. Are you feeling hungry? I made us some lunch." I replied. He nodded before slowly getting out of bed. We ate lunch together; he didn't eat much which didn't surprise me. 

After eating I washed the dishes and he said he was going to take a long shower. When I was finished washing the dishes I sat on the couch wondering when he would be up to unpacking. It seemed like a pain in the ass because he had just got everything ready to move into her apartment. I knew I'd have to be there for him like he has always been there for me. I also knew that it would take him a while to feel okay again. Honestly, I think of they would have stayed together he probably would have asked her to marry him. The rest of the day was pretty quiet. The only noise was the tv and me asking how he was feeling every now and then. I just hoped he wasn't annoyed from how worried I was about him. But I guess he knew that I was only doing it because I care about him. 

A few weeks later Daniel and I had unpacked almost all of his things. "What should I do with her things?" He asked me, taking me by surprise as I finished putting his books on his shelves. "Just put in a box and drop it off at her apartment." I suggested. He stood there looking at some of her clothes and whatnot. "I'm not sure if I can go over there. I don't wanna see her in fear of breaking down again." He said shyly. "It's okay, Daniel," I walked over and hugged him. "I can take her things over if you want me to." I replied. He thought that was a better idea than him going and risk the chance of seeing her, especially seeing her with the man she cheated on him with. The plan was for him to go with me, but he would stay in the car. I carried the box into the building and up to her apartment. The longer it took to get there the madder I felt. 'Calm down, y/n. You can't just go up there and punch her in the face even though you really want to.' I thought inside of my head. 

Even though I do have feelings for Daniel, I couldn't stand seeing him so heart broken. All I wanted was for him to he happy and she made him so happy. Once I reached her apartment I knocked on the door. "Who is it?" I heard her ask from inside of the apartment. "It's y/n. I'm here to drop off the things you left at Daniel's." I said awkwardly. A few moments passed before she eventually opened the door. She was dressed in nothing but a bathrobe and I looked at her with disgust. 'So he is here then.' I said inside of my head, referring to the man she was caught with. "Thanks. Um... how is Daniel by the way?" She said, and her words when through me like a knife. "Yeah, like you care. If you really cared about him you wouldn't have cheated on him." I said, and her jaw dropped in shock. Maybe it was because I've always been quiet around her, and she never expected me to say something like that. Who really knows why she was so shocked. 

"Have a nice life with your new boyfriend. I hope you fall head over heels in love with him and then I hope he cheats, like you did Daniel. Then you'll understand how he's feeling right now." I said before leaving. She didn't even say anything, and I was happy about that. She knew she ducked up but it was too late to try and fix anything. When I got back into the car with Daniel he seemed relived to see me. "I was starting to get worried about you." He said softly. "Why? You don't think I could take her down?" I asked jokingly as we headed back home. "Oh no, I know you could take her down. I just don't want you ending up in jail." He replied, and I laughed. He joined in the laughter as well. I was glad that he was at least feeling better enough to joke around again. I was really looking forward to him feeling like himself again.
