Requests: A Veronica x reader imagine based off the song Can I Be Him by James Arthur

Do you mind doing a veronica x reader where the reader serenades her outside her window and Veronica's heart just melts at the interaction? Let's be real, that girl is a big hopeless romantic with a heart of pure gold. LOL and I'm just thirsty for more v imagines

a/n: not sure if I'm happy with how this turned out but it's the only thing I could think to do with these requests 

You had feelings for Veronica and she had confessed to the feelings being mutual.

The only problem was she also had feelings for Archie. 

She needed time to think but you grew tired of waiting around.

Jughead told you that you needed to start being more assertive about how you felt and that's exactly what you were going to do.

You showed up to the Pembrooke one night with your guitar and a bouquet of roses in hand.

You stood underneath the balcony to her already open bedroom doors and started singing. 

You walked into the room and now my heart has been stolen
You took me back in time to when I was unbroken
Now you're all I want
And I knew it from the very first moment
'Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want you to sing it again

Veronica heard your voice and the strumming of your guitar coming from outside and got off of her bed to check it out.

She looked down off her balcony to see you serenading her like in the movies.

I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories
Can I be him?

Veronica smiled and started blushing as you sang but this only made you more confident that you had made the right decision to be here tonight.

I heard there was someone but I know he don't deserve you
If you were mine I'd never let anyone hurt you, no, no
I wanna dry those tears, kiss those lips
It's all that I've been thinking about
'Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want you to sing it again

I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories?

You sang your heart out, putting your all into every word you spoke. 

Veronica made her way down the building's fire escape as you continued.

Can I be the one
Can I be the one
Oh, can I, can I be him?

Won't you sing it again?
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him?
Oh, sing it again, yeah
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him?

She stood in front of you, biting her lip.

Nothing had ever made as much sense to her as her feelings for you did right now. 

I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there, will you be there?
Can I be the one you talk about in all your stories
Can I be him?
Can I be him?

You finished the song and put your guitar on the ground, picking up the roses to give to her. 

"They're beautiful, that song was beautiful," she told you smiling wide.

"I know you said needed time but I needed you to know just how much I like you," you told her.

She didn't say a word, she only leaned in to kiss you.

You happily returned the kiss, holding on to her waist as she wrapped her arms around your neck. 

You both got lost in the moment, feeling no regret for putting yourself out there tonight and telling her how you felt.
