In The Heights Imagines

Bailar Conmigo

Usnavi de la Vega X Reader

-----------------------

"Hey, Navi!" You greeted as you entered the bodega. You felt the cold air of the AC soothe your hot skin. It was a sunny day in July. 83 degrees, but it felt like 90 and damn, did it feel like 90. Still, the heat wouldn't stop you from going to the club tonight.

"Hola, Y/n." Usnavi greeted back, sounding exasperated.

"What's up?" You hopped up on the counter in front of him. He bent over and laid his head on one of your thighs. You took off his cap and ran your hands through his hair.

"Busy day, Princesa." Usnavi let out a puff of air.

He hummed in approval and you smiled. "Is there anything I can do? I'm off at the salon today, I could help out around here..."

"No, Y/n, I wouldn't ask that of you. You really wanted to go to the club tonight..."

"No, no, it's okay, Cariño." You held his face in your hands and kissed the top of his head. You moved to the side and hopped off the counter, jumping up and down, trying to get your blood flowing. "Dancing can wait. What do you need me to do? Restock? Sweep? Man the counter? Wherever you need me I'll be there."

"Oh, I love you."

"I know." You smirked. "I love you too."

After that, the two of you began to work the Bodega together, dancing around each other, and helping everyone to get the things they needed and to the places they needed to go.

By the end of the day, you were hot, tired, and you wanted to go home and crawl in your bed, but just because the store was closed, didn't mean your work was finished.

You were sweeping the back of the store when suddenly you heard your favorite song play over the radio. You heard Usnavi singing along to it, and turned around to see him dancing while cleaning off the counter.

The lyrics picked up and he danced through the aisle towards you, and you couldn't help but laugh when he almost ran into a chip rack. You were tempted to smack his bottom with the broom when he twirled around in front of you and held his hand out.

"Come on, bailar conmigo, nena. If we can't go to the club, we might as well dance here." He wiggled his eyebrows. You chuckled and put your hand in his. In a moment, you twirled into his arms. He started to dance with you, leading you all around the store, the both of you singing along to your song.

Far too soon, the end came and the two of you fell out onto the floor.

"Can we just sleep here?" You asked, cuddling up to his chest and closing your eyes.

"Yeah..." Usnavi answered. his voice already sounding far away to you. "Maybe just a few minutes..."
