La Luna - His Future || Bruno Madrigal Fanfic || Book One

Arrows In The Heart - Bruno's POV

*Benji and Echo's song is 'Notion' by Tash Sultana

After that second round Luna could barely walk, her legs shaking as she took weak steps. She laughed over it but I still felt bad and carried her back to the sofa.

"Brunito.. Stop fussing over it. I can see you worrying.", she poked the crease on my forehead. "You're not gonna break me.", she smiled.
"Fine. Just, get some rest for a bit, okay? Please.", I scowled at her. It's like she's forgetting she almost died the other night. And now I pushed her a little too hard.

She nuzzled into my chest, sighing. We still barely fit on the sofa together but this was nothing compared to the dog pile all three of them had me under all morning. I smiled, thinking about how easily her boys accepted me. She had said that she's known about me for these past ten years so I'm going to assume her boys knew as well. I'm going to have to make a mental note to ask her about that later. It's sort of silly that we're back on this sofa when we have a perfectly good bed in the bedroom. When I had brought Luna home earlier this morning and put her down with me on the sofa it didn't occur to me that all four of us were going to end up squeezed onto it. Otherwise I would have just brought her to the bed to begin with. But honestly, it was nice feeling that loved by them. I'm also incredibly happy that they all seem to enjoy their sleep. No early risers here. It's like someone made them just for me. The perfect kind of family that fit me.

Luna's steady breathing made me feel at ease. Maybe I should try and sleep for a few minutes. I oddly slept really well earlier and when I awoke before everyone else I was feeling great. Her presence balances me. I only stayed awake after that cause I was enjoying her cuddled up to me. I looked down at her, wrapped up in the blanket, her bare leg sticking out and over me. No, I think I'll lay here and enjoy this instead. I can sleep later tonight. I kissed the top of her head and smiled. I'll give her a few minutes to nap but then we should think about going to check on María and the boys.

Luna stretched under me, "Go to sleep mi rey..", she swatted at my face with her eyes closed, making me laugh. "Heyyyy..", I chuckled, grabbing her hand. She sighed, "I know, I know.. I gotta get up.."
"I think Benji or someone must have had your bag. There's one sitting on the bed in your room.", I answered back.
Her head shot up, "¡Toma!", she squealed. Hopping off of the sofa and speeding down the hallway with the blanket wrapped around her. I chuckled at her retreating form.

I guess I should start putting this place back together. Looking around at the destruction we caused I'm thankful we didn't stay on the sofa though. It surely would have been ruined, I grinned to myself. But she was right, it'll take some serious cleaning before we use the kitchen. I rubbed the back of my neck, picking the blanket up off the floor. But that was amazing. Yeah, I cheated a little using our connection but she enjoyed herself so I'm not gonna feel bad about that. In fact, I might have to make that a regular thing, I smirked. Walking over to the large double doors in the back and opening them up to let some fresh air into this room, I start picking up the things we had knocked onto the floor.

Heavy pounding from the front door followed by Lorenzo's deep voice called out, "I'm coming in!". He swung the door open before he had even finished his sentence.

"Well hot damn..", he snapped his fingers enthusiastically while looking around the room. "I thought I heard the backdoors opening and figured you guys finally tired yourselves out but hell amigo..", he laughed. I laughed with him. Lorenzo had a way of making even the most awkward situation feel casual. Nothing seemed to surprise him. Turning around to continue to pick up the mess of clothes we left on the floor, Lorenzo bellowed out even louder, "Ooooooo she did a number on you!", he was laughing so hard he braced himself against the wall. "What?!", I said shrugging. Luna had stepped into the room, seeing our back and forth exchange. "Ai dios mio! Mi amor!", she rushed over to me, spinning me around. "I'm so sorry!", she said looking at my back.
"What? Is it bad?", I asked. "Uhhhh..", she trailed off. "Nah hombre, you better wear that badge with pride!", he laughed more from the doorway. A pillow was sent flying at him at full force, catching him in the face. She laughed, rolling her eyes. When she looked back at me she was biting the corner of her lip. I couldn't tell if she was concerned or turned on by this. She wrapped her arms around me, grinning and dug her nails into my lower back. Definitely the latter of the two.
