First Aid

* next day *

(Your pov)

I wake up not feeling the best. Knowing that I have to call Vincent. I get out of bed and go to wash my face and Brush my teeth. I stay in my pajamas not feeling motivated to put anything else on.

I grab a blanket from my bed and wrap it around my shoulders walking out into the hallway towards the kitchen/living area. I get to the couch and plop myself down onto it. I grab my phone from my sweatpants and finally decided it was time to call Vincent.

The phone rings and he picks up "hello" ..... I don't speak "hello y/n" "hi" I speak in a low voice. "Hey hey are you okay? How are you feeling?" His voice sounds worried "I'm alright thank you..uhm.... do you think you could come over" i ask "of course I'll be there in 5" I nod then realize he can't see me"yup" I hang up.

I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding in. I curl on the couch and wait for Vinny.

He arrives 5 minutes later. I hear the elevator door open and Nat's voice "she's on the couch over there" She speaks softly. I hear his footsteps come closer to me but I don't turn to greet him. The sofa sinks under his weight "y/n" his soft voice whispers, I turn to him looking up at his face. He looks tired. I scrunch my eyebrows together "have you slept?" I ask worried for his health. He shakes his head "I was worried about you" he says reaching for my hand, I let him hold it.

"Please tell me what's going on, I want to make sure you are okay" he says moving closer to me and wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I curl up into him and wrap the blanket around my shoulders more. "I'm really sorry about yesterday" I say looking at my lap, pulling on a piece of string on my sweats. I sigh "I was scared, that you would leave me for Emily." I say my voice cracking in between. He puts a finger under my chin and lifts my face so I look into his eyes "why would you ever think that?" He asks moving his hand to cup my cheek.

"Because she's pretty, and she's not broken and disgusting and she's outgoing and she can give you what you need" I say rambling. "She can't give me what I need, y/n" he says looking into my eyes while wiping away my tears that I didn't notice had fallen. I look at him confused "you are what I need, okay? You are all I ever need. You are beautiful and amazing. You aren't broken, not to me. You are also definitely not disgusting, absolutely the opposite my love" He says sincerely. I smile, he smiles back and I know things are gonna be okay.

"You look tired" he says pulling me closer to his chest, I giggle "says you" I reply gripping onto his shirt. We sit for a while in comfortable silence. "Can you stay" I ask nervously pulling away a bit just in case he didn't want to. He chuckles "of course I will stay, as long as it's okay Tony" he says looking over at Tony who i didn't realize was there the whole time. Tony nods his head walking away.

I hold Vincent's hand as we make our way to my room and into my bed. I crawl under the covers and watch Vincent take off his shoes before crawling next to me and pulling me into him. He holds me and breathe him in making sure he is real. "I forgot to tell you something" I say sitting up a bit, he looks at me and nods encouraging me to carry on. I smile "Tony is going to adopt me!" I say happily. Vincent pulls me into a hug and tackles me lightly into the bed "that fucking amazing y/n, wow I'm so happy for you." He kisses my cheeks before pulling away just holding my face. I smile at him before pulling him into a quick kiss. We pull away and he wraps his arms around me securely.

We lay in silence for a while enjoying each other company. He strokes my hair and I play with the hem of his shirt. "By the way, you don't have to tell me why you think you are broken. But if you ever want to please just know that I am here for you and I want to look after you. You mean so much to me and I want to make sure you feel comfortable and safe, I love you" he says rubbing circles onto my back. I nod softly against him "thank you Vinny, I love you too"  I say closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.

Do I tell him?
I know I'm safe with him
I love him
