Vinnie Hacker Imagines

the waitress 2

A few weeks had passed since Vinnie had mustered the courage to ask Y/N out for coffee. What started as a simple hangout had quickly blossomed into something more, something neither of them had quite expected but both had secretly hoped for. Their connection was effortless, and Vinnie found himself looking forward to every text, every phone call, and every chance he had to see her again.

Tonight was no different. Y/N was coming over to Vinnie's place for a laid-back movie night, something they had been doing regularly. As Vinnie prepared the popcorn, he couldn't help but smile at how natural it all felt—how comfortable they'd become with each other. He'd already set up the living room with pillows and blankets scattered across the couch, dim lighting creating a cozy atmosphere.

When Y/N arrived, she greeted him with her usual bright smile, making his heart race the way it always did. She was wearing one of his oversized hoodies, something she'd started doing more often, and he loved it.

"Hey, you," she said, walking into the kitchen where he was pouring the popcorn into a bowl. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before stealing a handful of popcorn.

Vinnie chuckled, pulling her closer by the waist. "You always do that," he teased. "I don't even get to eat any before you've taken half of it."

"Well, that's because I'm saving you from yourself," she replied, grinning up at him. "You know you'd finish the whole thing before the movie even starts."

He laughed, loving how playful she was. "Alright, alright. Let's get this movie started before you eat the rest of the snacks."

They settled onto the couch, Y/N curling up beside Vinnie, resting her head on his chest as he draped an arm around her. It felt perfect, like they fit together seamlessly. The movie started, but Vinnie found it hard to focus. Instead, he spent most of the time glancing down at Y/N, marveling at how lucky he was.

She noticed his gaze and smiled softly, tilting her head to look up at him. "You're staring," she pointed out, playfully poking him in the side.

"Can't help it," Vinnie shrugged, tightening his arm around her. "You're kind of hard to look away from."

Y/N rolled her eyes but smiled, snuggling back into him. "Well, don't get too distracted. You promised me we'd watch this one all the way through."

"I'm trying, I swear," he said with a laugh. "But you're just too cute. It's distracting."

She laughed, her fingers tracing lazy circles on his chest. "You're such a sap, you know that?"

Vinnie grinned, knowing it was true. Being with her made him feel soft in a way he hadn't expected. With Y/N, it was easy to let his guard down, to be vulnerable. She never pressured him to be anything other than who he was, and he loved her for that.

Halfway through the movie, Y/N shifted, sitting up a little so she could look at him. Her expression softened, her eyes filled with warmth. "Vinnie, can I tell you something?"

He nodded, his heart skipping a beat at the sudden seriousness in her tone. "Of course. What's up?"

She bit her lip, as if trying to find the right words. "I just... I want you to know how much I appreciate you. Like, for real. You've made me feel so safe, and I've never had that before. Being with you feels... different. In a good way."

Vinnie's chest tightened with emotion as he listened to her. He reached up, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Y/N, you don't know how happy that makes me. I feel the same way. I've never been this comfortable with anyone before. You make everything feel easy, you know? Like... it just works."

She smiled, leaning down to kiss him, this time slower, more meaningful. It wasn't just the sweet, playful kisses they often shared. This one was filled with emotion, like she was pouring her heart into it.
