Bruno's Backstory
As a little kid, Bruno was always close to his younger brother, Shirotsu. They've had their arguments and fights like brothers do, but they still liked each others company. Even though they fought about who ate the last cookie, or claimed that the other cheated in a board game, they were always at each others sides through thick and thin. He loved seeing Shiro excited over making ice cream, and was even happier when his little brother was taught how to make actual ice cream. The two would often eat some home made ice cream as they watched their favorite shows together. They kept their close bond as they grew up.
Bruno found out that he could control the temperature around him at a young age. He also found out that it was normally tied with his emotions. The air around him would get warmer when he was embarrassed or mad, and colder when he was feeling down. He quickly found it useful when a warm food got too cold and was able to warm it up. He was disappointed when he found out he couldn't make snow, but still found it pretty handy anyway. Bruno started helping out his parents with dinner more often.
He found a love for cooking while helping his parents make dinner. As soon as he was old enough to work the stove, he was experimenting with all kinds of things! He checked out cookbooks, and when he was allowed online he'd check out video tutorials on how to make all kinds of things. Bruno fell in love with cooking with all the ways he could prepare different things, and would often ask for a home made meal instead of going out to eat somewhere.
Since middle school, Bruno quickly became one of the popular kids. He'd often get invited to hang out with some friend group he didn't know very well. He'd normally accept if he could bring Shiro with him, as he knew Shiro didn't have many people he hung out with. He helped Shiro make a few friends this way. Bruno never forced Shiro to hang out if he didn't want to.
Bruno never did date during middle school. He just didn't find someone that clicked with him. In high school, he was one of the most popular guys. He'd often be flirted with, but Bruno was always too oblivious to realize that. He thought they were all being friendly. He still stuck around Shiro when he could. He had two amazing friends, Tyrell and Phoebe. Bruno never realized that both of them flirted with him. He could often be seen hanging out in Phoebe's acting class when he was allowed to. He'd also cheer on Tyrell when watching the cheerleaders. Bruno even tried on a uniform himself. When he was asked out by Phoebe, he said yes. They dated until the end of high school.
Bruno was head over heels for Phoebe, and was heartbroken when she wanted to go to college in a far off city, and broke up with him. Bruno was constantly down, and not as energetic as before. Shiro did whatever he could to help his big brother. It took months until Shiro noticed an ad for an animal shelter in Marina. He took Bruno to the shelter on his birthday, and went with him to look at all the different kinds of animals. Bruno instantly fell in love with a big, white rabbit. Bruno and Shiro got everything they needed to take care of the rabbit and took him home. After everything was set up, it took Bruno a few hours to think of a name. He named his bunny Mr. Snugglekins, or Snuggles for short.
Once Bruno was feeling better, he started trying out different jobs, even working with Shiro once. He settled on being a chef. Bruno still helps Shiro at Snow Haven from time to time. The brothers saved up enough money to move out and finally got their own place. They decided to help each other out and live in the same house. It was just a two bedroom house. Perfect enough to live in. The boys got settled in and brought Mr. Snugglekins with them, and eventually a ferret Shiro named Chip as well. They still bicker like siblings do, but they still help each other out.
