Daniel Brühl One-Shots [Discontinued]

Yellow Sweater | Daniel Brühl

I was sitting on the couch in the living room mindlessly watching Friends like I've done countless days in a row. I couldn't remember the last time I wasn't feeling sad or depressed. All I really wanted was someone to talk to, but all of my friends have been busy recently. It made me feel even more alone than I already do on a regular basis. The sound of a vehicle pulling into the driveway caught my attention, and it made me a little nervous. 'Who could that be?' I wondered as I turned the volume of the tv down and stood up. I looked out of the window and spotted an unfamiliar car in the driveway. It was black, but I couldn't tell what brand it was. I stood and watched to see if anyone was going to get out of the car. 

I saw a man get out of the car, but I couldn't see his face. He got into the back of his car and grabbed something. 'What is he up to? What will he do when he gets to the front porch?' I wondered. I thought about calling the neighbors and tell them someone I didn't know was here. Then the yellow shirt he was wearing caught my attention. As he got closer I noticed who he was, and got excited. I opened the door and ran towards him. "Daniel!" I said happily as I wrap my arms around him. He chuckles softly as he placed his luggage down and wrapped his arms around me. I melted into his embrace, and felt so good inside to see him. His comforting scent making me relax and feel safe. "I missed you so so much, Daniel." I said softly, and he gently tightened his arms around me. "I missed you too, sweetheart." He said softly as well. 

We stood there and hugged for what felt like forever. It felt so nice being in his strong arms. I snuggled into his chest and he played with my hair a little; it made me feel warm inside. "Is your mom at work?" He asked as we broke the hug and made eye contact. When I looked into his big brown eyes, I got butterflies and felt like my face got warm. I mentally cursed myself for blushing. I was trying to hide the fact that I have feelings for him, but I was having a hard time doing that. He's the most handsome man I've ever seen. "Yeah, she's at work." I replied as I took in his appearance. He had his cute fluffy beard and his hair was a little longer than usual. "I hope she won't mind me dropping by unannounced." He said with a small smile. "I'm sure she won't mind. She liked having you around, especially since you're such a wonderful person." I said, and he blushed a little. 

The two of us walked inside and I locked the door. We went upstairs and placed his things in the upstairs bedroom. I got him some fresh bed sheets and stuff. We talked about everything we had been up to since we last seen each other. We constantly text each other, but that isn't the same as talking to each other in person. We sat on the bed and hugged each other; you could say that we were basically cuddling. It felt so nice having him here sitting next to me. After a while the two of us started cooking dinner so it would be ready by the time my mom came home. He would give me side hugs and kiss the top of my head. I knew if my uncles were here they would be teasing me saying that Daniel is my boyfriend. But every time they said that I felt so awkward, especially since I actually do have feelings for him. 

But I knew that he probably didn't have feelings for me,  that all of the affection he showed me was platonic and nothing more. Dinner was almost finished cooking when my mom pulled into the driveway. Once she entered the house she was happy to see Daniel. We all talked and ate together, and then watched a movie afterwards. While my mom got ready for work tomorrow, I went up to Daniel's room and we talked for hours. Now that he was here it felt like a part of me was no longer missing. I didn't want to tell him that though and make him feel uncomfortable. "Are you still having trouble sleeping?" He asked curiously with a concerned look on his handsome face. "Yeah, I'm still having trouble sleeping." I admitted. 

I wasn't sure why I was having trouble sleeping. Especially since I hadn't been drinking much caffeine lately. "Well... maybe this will help." He said as he started taking his yellow sweater off, and I blushed. But he was wearing a plain white t-shirt underneath. 'Thank god he was wearing something under his sweater.' I thought. I didn't want to see him shirtless, because then he'd probably know about my crush on him if he doesn't already know. "Here, you can wear my shirt to bed if you want. It might help. If not it'll just keep you warm tonight." He said as he handed me his sweater. The blush returned and I got butterflies in my stomach. I always dreamed about wearing his shirts or sweaters, and I never really imagined that it would happen outside of my dreams. "Oh... thanks." I replied awkwardly and shyly. 

We spoke for a little while before saying goodnight to each other. It was way past ten o'clock and I figured that my mom was getting ready for bed as well. I carried Daniel's sweater downstairs and placed it in my bedroom before telling my mom goodnight. Then I changed into my pajamas. I put on Daniel's yellow sweater and loved how soft it felt against my skin. It was the most comfortable sweater I had ever worn, but maybe that's because it belonged to him. It also smelled like him, which made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I climbed into bed and imagined him holding me, causing me to fall into a deep sleep. 

The next morning I woke up to the smell of fresh coffee brewing. 'I thought my mom was supposed to go to work this morning.' I thought as I got out of bed and used the bathroom. I brushed my hair and everything, but I didn't change out of my pajamas. When I walked into the kitchen I saw Daniel standing at the stove cooking breakfast. Seeing him made me smile, and I walked over and poured myself a cup of coffee. "Good morning." He said happily, and my smile grew. "Good morning to you too. How did you sleep last night?" I asked curiously before taking a drink of coffee. "I slept good. It was strange sleeping here again though after being away for so long." He said with a slight laugh. 

I told him that I was glad he slept well, and then I noticed he was making us pancakes. "It was very sweet of you to make us breakfast this morning." I said after a moment of comfortable silence. "Well, I thought I might as well make breakfast. Especially since it was nice of you and your mom to let me stay here during my visit." He said with one of his beautiful smiles. Once the food was ready we sat at the table and ate together. As we ate I wondered if he made breakfast for his girlfriend, and it hurt a little knowing that he was taken. But I was glad that she made him happy. Then I suddenly realized he hadn't even mentioned her, and he usually does. 'I might ask him about her later.' I thought as I pressed my thoughts aside and enjoyed breakfast.
