though bruno is nowhere near foolish enough to deem abbacchio as particularly delicate (especially physically), it is still with great care that he reaches out and grabs the nearest hand of his beloved.
there is a moment where he silently fears it will just come across as silly from him-- but he knows better than most that someone like the man who he trusts so deeply and sincerely deserves every bit (and more) of the love that he could possibly show to them.
still holding the hand aloft, bruno bends over just enough to press a soft kiss to the back of abbacchio's hand, afterward glancing up to his face.
"tesoro mio, cuore mio, i wish i could put into words just how much i love you, but i fear they simply wouldn't be strong enough to convey it properly."
SUCH SIMPLE GESTURES are enough to make heart flutter - even a gentle peck to the back of his hand makes him as ecstatic as when they first got together ... and hearing such sweet , passionate words come from him made abbacchio press a kiss to bruno's hand as well. how could he even begin to express his gratitude and love - he was in the same boat as bruno when trying to show such emotion. but , he certainly tries - considering how much bruno has truly influenced every facet of his life , both small and big. AFTER ANOTHER QUICK kiss to the back of his hand , abacchio raises his head and stares deeply within mesmerizing blue hues. ' i wouldn't even know where to begin , either ... especially since you've done so , so much for me. you've changed my life in ways you'll never even see , and for that , i owe you my never - ending devotion and love. ' he's eager to lean in closer , this time giving bruno a proper kiss - one full of love and desire , gently giving hand a quick squeeze. ' you mean everything to me , and i hope i can show it well. '
