One and Done: Sweets and Lemons (JJBA one shots)

Leone and Bruno: How Could a Gal Choose? (Bruno x Reader x Abbacchio)

A/N: This will be a few parts...I haven't decided how many as I am going to make it a "choose your own ending" sort of deal. There will be at least three endings, maybe four. If I do a fourth it will be sort of a bonus, "wild card" unexpected ending. With that said I'm thinking it may end up being 7 or 8 parts if I split it all up. I'm just thinking that will get chapters out quicker; already I've had two parts sitting in my notes for about a week or so. So enjoy the first one...working to get more out quickly. I think this will be fun!

It was a crisp fall day. Y/N had a few documents to take care of and wanted to take some time to write. She had placed her laptop, journal, and wallet in her black leather tote. Feeling a bit sassy, she wore a long black form fitting dress with plaid accents. Throwing a light black jacket over, she headed out the door grabbing her tote.

The day was perfect, the warmth of summer clearly fading, a light autumn breeze tickled at the hem of her skirt. Y/N breathed deeply, appreciating the gorgeous Italian day. She made her way down the street from her apartment to the cafe a few blocks away. She would find a quiet table, enjoy some cappuccino, and work on the things she needed to do. She might even sit outside and enjoy a pastry and some people watching between tasks.

Arriving at the bright little cafe, Y/N entered with the soft jingle of the bells on the door announcing her arrival. The shop owner greeted her by name, welcoming her in. As she awaited her order, two handsome gentlemen caught her eye.

They were both tall, slender and muscular. One had long silvery lilac hair, shifting like silk as it spilled over his shoulders when he leaned in to take a sip of his tea. His purple lipstick lightly stained the rim of the tea cup. She couldn't see his face from this angle, but she couldn't help but think he must be stunning, as what she could see was already intriguing.

The man sitting across from him was equally striking. His neatly bobbed and braided black hair glinted in the sun peeking through the cafe's front window, sapphire eyes glowing with good humor. His chest was exposed by a window of sorts in his white suit jacket. As Y/N's eyes trailed back up to the gemstone eyes, he lifted his coffee cup and his eyes met hers. The lashes of those gorgeous eyes were thick, long and dark; she wondered if he was wearing eyeliner or if that was all natural beauty.

It was with that thought that she realized he had held her gaze; he caught her checking them out! Internally she admonished herself for being so brazen. Fortunately at that moment her order was ready and she moved to grab her hot drink, opting for a latte this time and a cranberry orange scone. As she turned to find a table outside in the fall air, she almost bumped into the beautiful ravenette she had been gawking at a moment ago.

"Oh! Pardon me," Y/N said, a light blush rising to her cheeks. The man smiled softly.

"No, pardon me for startling you. It was not my intention." His smile broadened and he put out a hand to take her plate. "I couldn't help but notice that there are no open tables today. My friend and I have a third chair at our table. Would you like to join us?" He immediately lifted his free hand to Y/N's recently vacated one offering it to lead the way.

Surprised by his actions and gentlemanly manner, Y/N simply nodded. This was highly unusual, Y/N was not used to being the center of a man's attention. Although she is a beautiful woman, she does not dress nor act in a manner that tends to draw the attention of others. And generally, she likes it that way; more like an observer rather than participant.

Arriving at the table, the lilac haired man rose and pulled out the chair for her. He towered above her, a few inches taller than the gentleman that was now tucking her chair in for her after setting her plate on the table. As he returned to his seat, she finally saw his face. Her original assessment was accurate, stunning. His eyes were as gorgeous as his friend's; golden and violet ombré with those thick outlining eyelashes as well. He clearly was the less outwardly emoting of the two, but his lips tugged into a slight smile.
