Enzo hadn't been at the firehouse for very long. Since being there, he pretty much kept to himself, and he allowed people to make their own judgements on him whilst he listened in and got to know them without really getting to know them. It was a strange situation, but Enzo just needed time to get used to the way people worked within the firehouse before he opened up a little more. Lately, the only person he had opened up to was Jack, and Andy. Andy caught his eye fairly early on and the last thing he wanted was to get in the way of things because he could tell that she was struggling with a lot but perhaps Enzo was going to be able to help a little with that and that was why he came out of his little shell and began to act like the man he really was.

"What if I said I like all versions of you? I mean, since starting at the firehouse, I know I've kinda kept myself to myself for a while but it allowed me to get to know you guys and we all have days. Things have been extra difficult for you and yet you've handled it with grace with one thing that I love about a woman. Things aren't easy, and I understand that but don't think you have to change the way you feel about things just because there might be something here. I like you for how you are. I'll take the bad days, the good days, and all thats in-between." Enzo just wanted Andy to not stress about being perfect around him. This was way better than all the falseness that could come from the start of a relationship and he was glad they got to dive in at the deep end.

This evening had went better than he thought it would. They were both on the same page when it comes to certain things and it made him fall a little more for the woman beside him. Finishing off his cone, Enzo wiped his hands on his jeans, hoping he didn't get anything on them. "A movie sounds great to me. As long as it's not too soppy. A little I can take, but not too much." he chuckled and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, bringing her in a little to test the waters. "Hm, I'm not making any promises." he teased but he knew his own boundaries when it came to all of this.

Enzo wanted to make friends at the station. So far he hadn't exactly made a good example of that given that he had already been punched in the face and he had Maya all over him making sure that he doesn't hurt Andy. He knew how easy it was to say that he wasn't that type of person, so he was going to prove it. Enzo wanted for Andy to feel like herself around him and he was glad that she accepted this date so that they could get to know one another more.

A smile pulled at Enzo's face when he heard her say all of this about him. Enzo wanted to be that person to Andy. The person that she could just come to and speak her mind about things. "You don't need to thank me. It's good to get things off your chest and I'm glad you feel like you can do that with me." Already Enzo was loving this date and getting to know Andy. It was nice to feel so comfortable around someone.

The wait for the ice cream wasn't long at all and so in no time, Enzo was back and already hounding Andy with more questions to try get to know her and the life she lived. He was curious to know what her place was like too. "I am more than ready, so let’s go!" Enzo nodded his head and took a few spoonfuls of his own ice cream before lifting his hand to his head. "Brain freeze!"

The one thing with Enzo was that he was good at reading people, even when he didn't entirely know them. Andy, she was the easiest to read and he knew that she was struggling with a lot more than what she was letting on and Enzo, he wanted to be there and be that person that she can vent to. They both knew heartbreak, and pain, and thats where their similarities lay. It just made Enzo want to get to know her all the more. He was good at acting the hard guy, mainly because it pushed people away and eventually got him what he wants. However, since starting at Station 19 and getting to know everyone, he knew he had to bring all that down and let the likes of Andy in to get to know who the real Enzo is.

Hearing that Andy knew the man that he really was, Enzo couldn't hide the smile. It meant more to him that she would know. "Even so, just let me know if I do and I will back away. I don't want to push you away. I'm not good at opening up but, this with you, it already feels so natural and carefree. Getting to share this moment with you makes me feel so lucky because I get to embrace your beauty for longer than what our work day lasts. I mean, I catch myself trying to find you just so I can see that smile of yours." Enzo rubs the back of his head before continuing. "I-I get carried away sometimes, especially when it comes to you. So feel the need to stop me."

Enzo just had to get out how he felt about Andy. Regardless of how things were going to go between the two, he wanted her to know the bare minimum of how he felt about the woman. Laughing low, he shook his head. "Oh hush, I just was listening in is all. Plus, it worked, did it not?" he teased back, glad that his slight stalking skills had come to use and it helped plan out a pretty spontaneous night. "I'd like that very much."

In his own way, Enzo was quite like Andy. He had lost a lot of big influences in his life and didn't know how it was going to effect him in the long run. The only difference is, he was good at masking how he felt. He didn't show off that he was feeling a little different inside. Instead, he would work the same, eat the same, and communicate the same. Just deep down, he was breaking. He wouldn't sleep, and when he did it was severely interrupted. During those times, Enzo hated being around himself, so he wanted to do all he could for Andy whenever she felt that same way too.

Andy had been through a lot, and he was proud of the way she had dealt with things. Even the likes of seeing Sullivan punching Enzo in the face, it wasn't something he felt he deserved but Andy went around it in a classy manner, one of the many reasons he wanted tonight to go well, and he was glad that it was, so far.

Listening to Andy's words, she was right. "Oh trust me, I know that first hand. It's not great for things to mess with your head because it can make things one hundred times more difficult than what they need to be. In terms of just getting to know you, I'm cool with that. I don't want to cross any boundaries so if I do, just let me know." Enzo smiled sincerely over at her, to let her know that he was meaning it. He wasn't the type of guy to cross lines forcefully. 

Enzo took a large lick of his ice cream before turning to Andy with a grin on his face. "Well, I overheard you talking to Maya about ice cream earlier on. It was just a random conversation but you kept gushing about it." Upon hearing Andy's suggestion of a further date, he couldn't hide the blush that crept upon his cheeks. "Another date, huh?"

One thing that he was beginning to learn about a lot of the firefighters at the station, is that they mask their pain with work. It was difficult because Enzo knew that he used to do the same until he realised how unhealthy it was for him. Sometimes he just needed that escape and try to forget about the nightmare that was his life. However, recently he began to see the other side of it and started focusing on himself despite all the troubles he can sometimes face. It was never easy, especially given how stressful their jobs could be at times. Though, one thing he wanted was for Andy to realise that he was there to go through anything she was feeling. It was just the type of guy that Enzo was.

Despite all of that, he didn't want to pressure Andy into anything. Whatever happens, happens. And he was more than happy to accept that. She had been through a lot in life, especially recently so the last thing that Andy needed was someone to constantly hound her and dismiss her feelings. That wasn't how Enzo was wanting to be perceived. He was the type of person to lend a helping hand. To be a shoulder to cry on. It was the way he was taught to be when he was younger and made sure that he was going to continue to be that way.

"I'd say its a good thing too." Enzo smiled and took some more of his ice cream. "I'm here though, Andy. You know, if you ever want to get anything off your chest or you need a person, I can be that guy. I know it's not easy sometimes but I'll listen. Don't worry about messing things up. We can take things slow, and easy. If that means a long time, then count me in. I just want you to feel comfortable and all sorts around me." Enzo knew that all of this was a big deal to her, so whatever it took to calm her then he would.

The night had been going well. Better than he had expected for it too and it was difficult for him to hide the bright smile on his face. "I don't want to push. So, just say the words and I will be gone, no questions or no fighting against it."

Enzo's main intentions weren't to swoop anyone of their feet. None of this was in his plans but he was glad it did. Andy was someone that he could see himself with. Sure at first, he was a big of an ass and perceived to be a player but it was almost like a social experiment. He was one of the kindest souls you could ever meet and was a loyal and good friend to all. It wasn't like him to have any bad blood between people but sometimes that just happened. Perhaps along the line, he and Robert would be able to laugh about this and they could get along. For now, he was just going to focus on what him and Andy could potentially have in the future. There was no point in him wondering what might happen with Robert.

The two of them were a lot more similar than what he originally thought. Though, Enzo didn't allow himself to open up to just anyone and so, to have that bond with someone was special and he could really be himself around Andy. It was nice, and it was refreshing to have someone understand just what he had been going through at the time, and even still does to this day. The least Enzo could do was console her if need be and be the person that she so clearly needed. He was hoping that it was going to be the same way for him. Not that he needed someone to be there, but to have someone who understood and they could speak about these things, it would be nice. Regardless of all of that he was enjoying his night, and he was enjoying getting to know Andy.

"You don't have to tell me everything. I know myself that I won't understand absolutely everything that you might be going through, but I'll try. I just, I'm a good guy, regardless of how I allow people to perceive me. I just kinda like it. And I kinda like you, so I would do anything." Enzo didn't see it as too much of a big deal and shrugged it off.

Enzo laughed and took another bit of his ice cream. "Lucky me then because I won't have you stealing it from me." he winked and bumped his arm against her. "Well, we're going back to your place right? So I guess we'll take it from there."

It seemed like things weren't going to be easy, at least for now as Robert seemed to be watching every move that the two of them had been making in more recent times. He wasn't going to lie, it irritated Enzo a little but, he knew that the worst thing he could do was act up to it. Plus, that wasn't the type of guy that Enzo was. He wasn't one to stir anything up, instead he was relatively chilled but he had the right to be annoyed sometimes with Robert's actions like earlier on. If this was what it took to be with Andy, then he would go through it because eventually, Enzo knew that Robert would back off and they could feel that bit more relaxed. Thats why he was glad that the two of them got to go out tonight, and get away from everyone else.

Seeing Andy tonight and getting to know her, he was already beginning to learn that he was the type of guy that she needed right now. A rant was something that he knew everyone needed every once in a while. Enzo knew himself that he would have his rants but would take it to his mum because he didn't necessarily have anyone who he could do that with, especially in the station. Now, he felt like he had that someone, and he kinda liked it. "Personally, I think it's best to tell the people that you know who will care, the important things in your life. So, I'll take it, but you never have to thank me for something like that."

Enzo wasn't ready for the night to end. He was enjoying it, from the restaurant to the ice cream, he wanted to spend more time with her. "I went for strawberry ice cream, I haven't had it in a while, so I thought, why not?!" He chuckled, continuing to walk beside her. "You know, I've had a really good time so far."

Enzo could never hide the way that he really felt about Andy. She was special to him, more than he would like to admit at this point because this, this was the happiest he had been. Sitting here, joking with the most beautiful person he had laid eyes on? It was perfection.

"Make sure you do take the compliments, because I mean it. But... I am not cute! stop that."

Date night. @ofgallantways

[ofgallantways]

Looking over at Andy with a shocked look on his face, Enzo then let out a laugh. "You're killing me here. You know I'm just messing with you. You are beautiful, yes, but you are so much more than that. I mean, you're smart, caring, you have a great personality, and I'll even give into the fact that you're a little funny."

Date night. @ofgallantways

Chuckling, Enzo knew that the two of them were having a laugh and this was something that he loved about Andy. "Hm, because you're pretty beautiful and so I can skip over the fact you're not all that fun." he continued to tease.
