[There'd been a stretch of time where physical affection was quite absent from Bruno's life, which was due to a combination that the beginnings of his team had a preference to avoid it and never went looking for it. It would have been disrespectful in their opinion. Imagine their shock and quiet horror the first time Narancia threw his arms around Bruno. Although he could conceptualize it in his head that there's ranking and hierarchy, Narancia never really saw things that way, and Bruno let it slide. Occasionally he wrapped a loose arm around his shoulders in either brief reassurance or appreciation in a return embrace that never lasted anywhere close to as long as Narancia's clinging, but that was it. And then there was Giorno who looked for an arm around his shoulders rather than trying to hold onto Bruno tightly.]
[At some point, Bruno simply became accustomed to it again, and there was warmth to be had in it once more beyond polite gesture. It's to Gold Experience's benefit and Giorno's embarrassment now, but it's there all the same. Bruno largely ignores Giorno's suffering in favor of his Stand right now. Or maybe that's what he's doing. Who can say? His mind is an enigma.]
It was very kind of you to leave me a present earlier. You did a good job putting it together.
