Hey, hey, hey lover~

I'll love you just the way you are~

The same song played over and over for a few minutes. Y/n sat still, knees pulled to her chest, closed eyes and curled up into a ball. The comotion stopped for a few seconds before a pair of shoes walked down the stairs and straight out the front door with a loud slam behind him. Another pair appeared, except this one walked down and towards the bed, sitting across from the girl.

Y/n looked up from her position to notice Vinnie sat in front of her, blood dripping from his lip and a visible black eye forming. His knuckles were sore and full of blood which mostly wasn't him but nevertheless, Vinnie wore the kindest smile on his face while looking at the girl.

"He won't bother you anymore." He spoke as Y/n took off the headphones.

"Thank you." She thanked back, her tone barely hearable but enough for Vinnie. "How come you're even here?"

"I wanted to bring you the slushie that you like and well I was gonna leave it at the door but then I heard yelling and I heard like a slap sound and I was worried that he might've hurt you. I'm glad he didn't. I would've killed him if he did..." Answered Vinnie honestly, Y/n already feeling a bit warmer.

"Let me help you with your hands." She spoke, getting up and grabbing his hand to get the medical kit from the kitchen drawer. She got it and opened it up before cleaning Vinnie's wounds and then wrapping them. "There."

"Thanks..." Said the boy.

Yet another silence overtook them. It wasn't awkward or maybe it was but neither realized as they were to busy looking at each other. Studying each other's faces. Y/n was leaning against the kitchen counter, Vinnie stood in front of her.

Vinnie looked at her whole face, trying to remember every single possible detail of it. He wouldn't look away until he did. From her (e/c) eyes, to her nose, to her rosy cheeks decorated with a few freckles and finally, to her lips. God how they looked beautiful to Vinnie.

As if an unknown force pulled him closer, Vinnie leaned down towards the girl. His eyes switching from her eyes to her lips, not knowing at which he wanted to look at more. "Y/n..."

"Hm?" Asked the girl, barely paying attention anymore, her eyes fixiated on his lips which were inches away from hers.

"Can I?" The boy asked, both knowing what he was refering to.

"Mhm..."

And with that, the ever so long gap between the two closed, ones lips landing on anothers. They moved in sync, coming together like puzzle pieces. As if made for each other. Vinnie's hands wrapped around the girls waist while hers went around his neck, gently playing with the hair on the back of his head.

"Wait, stop..." Ordered Y/n suddenly breaking the kiss. "You have a girlfriend, this can't happen, not now."

"About that... I ended it with Jayla. And not just because of you but... I was suspicious and well... I know it's bad but I took a look at her phone and you were right. She was cheating on me. With fucking Pierre of all people." Explained the boy, his eyes full of regret.

"I'm glad. I didn't want you to break up with her because of me." Said Y/n.

"Why?"

"Well-... It's just that, if you would do it once for me, how do I know you wouldn't do it again for someone else you might fall in love with..." Answered Y/n truthfully, Vinnie immediately feeling sadness overcome him.

"Don't worry about things like that... I wouldn't do that to you and I didn't break up with Jayla purely because of you. I'll prove to you that you can trust me." Spoke Vinnie, meaning every last bit of what he said.

"Come on." Y/n spoke softly as she grabbed his hand and walked back upstairs. She looked at the painting and then back at Vinnie. "You know who that is?"

"Oh it's a specific person?" Asked Vinnie and Y/n nodded. The boy looked closer at the painting before looking back at Y/n. "It must be my twin brother Minnie."

"Woahh Minnie and Vinnie? Such a plot twist!" Joked Y/n laughing and Vinnie joined in.

"It's beautiful. I like it." Answered Vinnie Y/n's question as he looked at the painting once again.

"Of course it's beautiful, it's you." Y/n smiled at the boy and he smiled back before dipping back down to plant another kiss on Y/n's lips.

"Is your eye better?" Asked Doogie sitting at his desk while Vinnie layed on his bed, a bag of frozen peas over his eye.

"Kinda. But it was worth it." Answered Vinnie, smiling to himself.

"So, you and Y/n are like dating now or?" Asked Doogie.

"I don't know. We haven't really put a 'label' on it but we have kissed a few times. She made this gorgeous painting of me, I was so impressed. Still am. She has so much talent it's crazy. And she's smart, so smart like I'm amazed everytime she speaks. Oh! And she's so beautiful I get mesmerized everytime I see her I just wish I could remember every single detail of her face so I could have it forever and I-"

"Okay, Vinnie. Enough! I get it. I didn't even know you knew that many words. But I get it and there's no need to immediately put a label on it. I'm sure you two are gonna figure it out amongst yourselves." Reassured Doogie his dear friend.

"Yeah, I think I'll ask her tonight. We're going out anyway so I'll ask her then. Do you think she'll say yes?" Vinnie was completely unsure of himself even though he and Y/n have already kissed in the past.

"Dude. HELL YEAH!"
