The way he smiles (Vincent x reader)

Safe

Vincents pov

That girl is such a hassle. She is lucky that i love her. We made it home that evening and as soon as she sat on the couch she passed out. I smiled at y/n and all of her cuteness.

I gently placed a blanket over her and kissed her on the forehead. I tip-toed into the kitchen. Gotta work tonight don't i? I thought to myself.

I hate working night shifts. I cant think clearly. Maybe i can have Mike work for me tonight, and i will take the day shift. Yeah, that will be perfect. A smile crept onto my face as i dialed the boss.

I talked softly into the phone, not to wake y/n. Once the phone call ended i walked back to the couch and watched y/n. Her breathes were soft and even. I wonder what she was dreaming about.

I knelt beside her and gentle brushed my hand against her cheek. She suddenly moved and i froze, still trying not to wake her. Her hand touched mine as she held my hand against her face. I stopped breathing for a second and my heart thumped. My face grew hot.

"I love you so much y/n" I whispered to her. I wanted to hold her tighter. I bit my lip. She is really such a doll. I want her to be safe and in the best care. I want her to be treated like the princess she is. I want-

My heart stopped, and all of the mushy feeling I felt was gone. My stomach tied itself into a knot. My vision got blurry, I felt a hot tear roll down my cheek.

I don't think I can give her those things. How am I supposed to keep her safe when I-

I barely make enough money to live off of. How can I treat her like a princess? Won't she get bored of me and leave. Maybe she will be happier when she leaves. I-

Suddenly, y/n shifted in her sleep. Snapping me out of my daze. She squeezed my hand and more tears streamed down my face.

I will keep her safe... No matter what.

I closed my eyes and laid my head next to her and slowly drifted off into sleep.
