Plot: Vinnie makes an edit of you
———————————————————————————

Vinnie was not good at his feelings. Well, he was when he just laid in bed and thought about it, but when he was actually faced with his feelings, he turned to stone.

Like he feels when he's with you.

They way he gets so nervous around you. From the way his eyes shifted nervously somewhere else when you made eye contact. To when he'd bite his lip, to when he'd scratch to back of his neck often. The way his heart pounds in his chest when you agree to hang out with him, the way you laugh at the jokes he says sometimes.

It might be love but he doesn't wanna drop a word like that so sudden.

For the past few months, you both have been fairly busy but still made time to see each other as often as y'all could.

Simple things that you would tell him made his heart swell.

You look so good!

Have fun on stream, but do get some rest tho

Sure other people might compliment his outfit or praise him some sort of way but when you said it, he liked it even more.

Maybe because he loves you.

It was about 2 in the morning. The plane you were on was quiet apart from a young child whining here and there.

It's not like you were getting a full rest anyway.

But tonight was different. You were coming back to LA after being away in Chicago for the past two weeks.

Vinnie would be picking you up from the airport. You made sure to text him when you had boarded so he could estimate what time he needed to be going to the airport to be on time for picking you up.

You couldn't stop checking your phone every couple minutes. Every minute was closer to being with Vinnie.

You could feel it in your heart too. The pounding in your chest with the thought of giving him a big ass hug. You smiled to yourself while covering your face with your hands.

Could you really be in love after a short amount of time?

When you landed, you pulled out your phone to FaceTime Vinnie. Once he answered, you saw his cute face with a smile on his face. He had turned on the overhead light so you could see him.

"Yes, I'm a little late but I swear I'm almost there." He said, obviously still in the car. His voice had this deepness to it, making you wonder if he took a short nap before driving.

"It's alright. Walking from the gate woke me up. But I'll be standing here. Just let me know when you come."

"Bet, I'll see you."

Right after hanging up, you made a beeline for the bathroom. Adjusting your clothes, trying to fix your hair. So what if it was early in the morning? You still wanted to look cute for him. Vinnie always looked good. Which is probably half the reason why you always had heart eyes for him.

Back at the pick up area, Vinnie's car pulled up. The yellow color stood out amongst the others. He put on his hazard lights so that people behind him would know to go around and he got out.

Before you could get a good look at him, he had his arms wrapped around your waist, a laugh leaving your mouth as Vinnie smiled into your neck, swaying you from side to side.

Your hands were around his neck and you were glad your face was covered because it was for sure red as hell. Vinnie was the first to pull back, giving you a huge smile.

"I missed you."

"I missed you too."

He put his arm around you for one more hug before taking your bags and putting them in the car for you.

"The drive back to the house shouldn't take as long as it normally does." Vinnie told you while on the freeway.

"To the house? Your house?"

"Yeah."

It's not like you didn't wanna go to his house, but the ride there was like an hour, and that's without bad LA traffic. And it was like 3:30 in the morning now.

But it was cool. At least you were with him.

"Wait a minute, why couldn't we just go to my house. It's like half an hour closer."

"Because I wanna show you something."

It was a while before y'all got to the house. You both tried to be quiet walking into the house and up the stairs into his room, making sure not to wake anyone that was asleep.

Upon reaching Vinnie's room, he told you to wait on the bed while he went to his computer and pulled up a file.

He then gestured that you take the seat in front of the monitor as he stood next to you.

It was a video and you pressed play. You audibly gasped as you saw your face come onto the screen with some rap song playing in the background. A compilation of clips of yourself showed. Whether they were from videos that you took of yourself, some that Vinnie took of you, some from tik toks you made.

You watched the changes color, transitions, reflections, color grading, even some 3D elements.

Vinnie had made this edit of you because it was a way for him to express his feelings for you.

When it was over, Vinnie spoke up, looking at you with adoration and wanting your approval.

"You like it...? I thought it would be nice to...make something for you. I've been working on it for a couple weeks and..."

You looked at him like a goof, smiling as he tried to find the right words. You got up from the chair and hugged him.

Vinnie was taken aback, but quickly hugged you too, rubbing your back.

"It was so amazing, thank you." Your voice was muffled in his chest but he could feel the emotion.

Pulling back, you could see that his eyes were sparkling and Vinnie moved a piece of hair behind your ear. You both would sometimes find yourselves in a situation where you could focus on nothing but each other. Both y'all's eyes looking at each other's features. If someone from the outside was looking, they would think you and Vinnie had been in love for years.
