You found out about a week into dating that it's not hard to love Bruno Madrigal. Not at all. He's so darn easy to love that it hurts.

The thing is, you've been bathed in love ever since the two of you got together. And his love language is touch.

He'll always be touching you, if he can help it.
On a day when you're busy in the kitchen, frazzled, hair out of place and huffing, you will find yourself stilled by the feeling of him behind you, fingertips gently touching the curve of your hip. For a moment, you simply breathe, enjoying the warmth of each other and the smell of food cooking. He will help you with the rest of dinner, but he'll have his hand wrapped around your hip as much as possible.

At a party, swaying gently to the beat. Not well though, the two of you aren't great dancers, but ironically Bruno is the better one. He's a lot smoother. When a saucy tempo comes on, he will push his hand on your lower back and keep your two bodies closer than you ever thought possible.

When you are crying, he will kneel in front of you and use his thumbs to brush away the tears on your cheeks. Then he will kiss you, deeply. He will pour all his devotion out to you in his kiss. He will try to be telling you that he loves you so much it's not fair, and you will quickly forget what made you cry.

When he is tired or upset, he keeps you to himself.
"I know I'm being selfish with you," he'll whisper, "but I don't care, I can't let anyone else have you now." As he tugs on your hands at a party like a child. You'll roll your eyes but go with him. Later, you will fall asleep in the bed you share with music still thumping in the house and his head burrowed in your stomach, his arms around your waist. It seems like you are the only two people in the world, and you like it that way.

When you fight so hard that anger makes you blind to all else, he will still have a difficult time storming away from you. It will be like his body doesn't remember how to walk away from you, it will stall for a moment before it moves. Later, he will quickly pull you close to him before either of you can even get an apology out. He will cry into your shoulder, and you will hold him tight.

When you tell him you love him, he will pull away. He will pause for just a moment. He needs to look at you, how beautiful you are now, how beautiful you have been, and will always be. He will be so overwhelmed with you, that you have you ask him what's wrong.
"Do I have something on my face?" You smirk.
"I love you too." He replies simply, and it's enough. He will gather you in his arms. You will smile and hold him too, and you will kiss until someone else walks in and makes a fuss.

You and Bruno will laugh at the dinner table with your family, and he will have his hand on your knee, your hand on top wearing the band he placed on it.
