#bruiser 2000

(My gif/it’s really hard to find clips of this movie)(requested by anonymous)

(Sorry for the long wait!)

- You met Henry while working at the Bruiser magazine company. You didn't exactly work “together” but you worked in the same building and sometimes on the same tasks at different times. Often, the only times you actually saw him were during company meetings and the little breaks you had before and after them, or during lunch.

- Part of you pitied him from the moment you met him. He was walked all over and ignored for... well, no reason at all. You rooted for him any moment you could and yet he could never prevail. Maybe that was why you tried to be as nice as you could to him.

- And your kindness didn't go unnoticed. Sometimes talking to you about pointless things for two minutes was the highlight of his day. You were pretty much the only person he could stand to be around and really looked forward to seeing everyday.

- Soon those feelings of admiration and respect morphed into something beyond what he intended. He grew to develop feelings for you, real romantic feelings that had him yearning for you every time you graced his eyes.

- Yet nothing ever happened between you two since he was married, granted it was to a cheating bitch but still, married nonetheless.

- Then came that fateful day when his world and your own was turned upside down. You spent half the day glued to a television screen and your telephone to listen to the news of everything that was happening. You couldn't believe it and yet you had to. Because later that day you’d meet your former coworker face to face and see for yourself everything that had happened.

- It was late in the evening, you were getting ready for your bosses awful costume party when all of a sudden there was a knock at your window. At first you figured it was a bird or branch but when it persisted and grew what could only be considered frantic you hesitantly decided you needed to check it out.

- You grabbed a shoe for self defense and made your way to the window. When you pulled back the curtain there was nothing. Growing more confident, you opened the window... and shrieked as a figure popped into view.

- You threw the shoe in your hand at it and moved back to grab whatever else you could find before you recognized the familiar chuckle and voice.

“A shoe? Really? You really are too good for this shitty town y/n.” You slowly made your way over as he crawled in through your open window.

- You couldn’t keep your eyes off the “mask” on his face and he took notice, explaining everything that had happened and why he was there. He needed your help but more than anything else he wanted you to go away with him once he’d completed what he set out to do.

- It took you a few minutes to decide what you wanted to do. He knew he was asking for a lot but he held on hope... and for good reason because after a deep breath you agreed.

- After helping him evade the police one last time, the two of you were on your way to a new town, ready to start a new life together.  

- The two of you shared your first kiss a few days later. You were both sat in the darkness of your hotel room, the moon peeking through the curtains providing you with a faint light. It was late but neither of you were all that tired, instead you were thinking about all that had happened and what was going to happen.

“I’m so glad that you came with me.” He interrupted the silence and you smiled at him warmly.

“I’d follow you anywhere.” You said softly.

- The both of you watched each other for a long moment before he rose, walking over to where you were sitting and taking your face in his hands. Your eyes closed as his face neared yours, his lips brushing against your own before finally claiming them.

- Fate sealed by a kiss. You weren’t going to turn back now and you certainly didn’t want to.

- We can all agree that the hippie/stoner thing was not a good look for him. You persuade him to go for better, much more flattering disguise.

- He’s a fan of getting and giving nicknames. It makes him feel important when you call him something sweet or special.

- Innocent pda. He doesn't care for full blown making out in public but he likes quick kisses, hand holding, and having his arm around you.  

- He gives a lot of compliments, ones that every woman dreams of hearing.

“I see a beautiful woman with great value.”

- I feel like even though Henry’s gone through a lot he hasn’t really changed too much? Like he’s still kinda awkward and sweet and a romantic at heart.

- The two of you have a lot of long conversations about nothing in particular. You usually jump from topic to topic, oftentimes pointless ones. He really just loves being able to talk to someone no matter what it is he’s talking about.  

- Watching him exercise in the morning and struggling not to pull him back into bed with you.

- Getting kisses blown at you. What else can I say, he’s an adorable man.

- He likes pressing his forehead against yours after he kisses you or while you’re dancing together in your kitchen.

- Remembering things for him, whether it be where he last left his keys or a meeting he’d forgotten about.

- Even though he has a dodgy memory he never forgets your birthday or anniversary, they’re just too important to him.

- He loves listening to your stories and the hearing about your interests. He never gets tired of learning things about you.

- You’re the only person he lets himself be a pushover for. He doesn’t mind giving into you just to see the smile on your face.

- Wearing his dress shirts. You make it very hard for him to focus on anything else whenever you do.

- The two of you have movie marathons almost every week. You never fail to fall asleep halfway through one of them and always feel kinda bad for snoozing on him. But he doesn’t mind, he likes carrying you to bed; it’s a strange comfort of his.

- He prefers quiet evenings with you rather than any party or event. Dates are usually at a nice restaurant or some place where the two of you can relax or have a little innocent fun.

- He kind of lets you do whatever you want to him as long as it’s harmless. Want to put makeup on him? A face mask? Paint his nails? Whatever makes you happy darling.

- Praising him any chance you get because he damn well deserves it. He always gives you this shy smile when you do and tries to humbly brush off your compliments as he blushes.

- Sometimes he likes to pull you close and recite different rhymes or poems to you as you relax against him.

- The way you cuddle depends on you. He isn’t particular, he’s just happy to have you near him.

- Being woken up to him whispering your name and pressing kisses to your skin.

- Giving him rides to work, you both enjoy having the company during your tiresome commutes.

- Stopping him from listening to those awful radio shows in the morning.

- Recording an answering machine message together.

- Shoulder kisses while he hugs you from behind.

- Sitting on his lap. 

- He’s a little clingy. He just really loves being around and touching you.

- He’s never afraid to tell you he loves you but other than that he struggles to put into words how much you men to him. Oftentimes he’ll settle on how “he cant live without you” or how you’re “the best thing that’s ever happened to him”.

- I feel like he tries to hide it for as long as he can whenever he gets sick or hurt. You usually notice it yourself pretty quickly and force him to let you take care of him. He has to admit that it feels nice having someone fuss over and care about him.

- Kinda likes being called sir...and being begged.

- Hand kisses.

- He’s probably stolen your sunglasses more than once.

- He likes surprising you with gifts, anything from flowers to a diamond necklace. 

- He always tries to help you with whatever he can no matter how big or how small.

- He’s extremely protective of you, the very thought of losing you or having you hurt tears him apart. Remember that he’s capable of murder, depending on the situation... things may get messy.

- Learning to like, or ignore, the taste of blood.

- Sometimes listening to his morbid stories and the things he thinks about. He doesn’t tell you about them often but occasionally you’ll get a glimpse inside his head.

- Henry is definitely a jealous guy. He doesn’t like any guy coming near or even looking at you unless there’s an actual reason for it. He thinks the worst of people and doesn’t them around you. He’ll interject and lead you away from them unless they’re family or what he deems harmless.

- For the most part, he trusts you... but he also trusted Janine and she cheated on him. It may take him a little while to fully believe that you would never do the same, just don’t take it personally.

- Fights never really escalate beyond the bickering stage and are usually about more serious topics so they happen rarely. Often times the two of you have a short argument that’s resolved just as quickly as it began.

- Trying your best to make him a little less pessimistic. He admits that you brighten up his day when things go sour.

- He always tries his best to comfort you when you’re stressed or upset. He hates seeing you anything but happy because he thinks that’s what you deserve to be for the rest of your life, perfectly content.

- Supporting each other through thick and thin. He’s always there for you no matter what and you make sure to return the favor.

- Henry’s a smart guy so I feel like he wouldn't have trouble getting a pretty good job once he’s able to sort out his new life and forge some documents, especially if you decide to settle into a small town together.

- He’s happy to create new memories with you and forget about the past.
