im gonna do carevinnie bc i've been thinking about them :)
yr boyfriend ;
They went for a long time without a label, just because both parties were... hesitant, to say the least. Vinnie struggled committing to a label, or even what to call their relationship in the first place. Carrie knew, though. Carrie, lover of romcoms and with his heart on his sleeve, knew what it was. In fact, he knew almost immediately when Vinnie started wanting to spend more personal time with him. He didn't want to pressure Vinnie into deciding something (the additional panic attack about whether he even felt the same way was to be ignored). Really, it was like everyone in their friend group (even the YouTube audience, who had never seen Carrie's face), called it what it was before them. Vinnie at first didn't make a big deal about it. His first time calling Carrie his boyfriend was over the phone with Jeff. Of course I'm bringing my boyfriend along, are you crazy? Vinnie only made a big deal about it a couple days later. They were watching something on the couch, Carrie resting his head against Vinnie's warm chest, when he feels Vinnie's breath catch. You're my boyfriend, right? Yeah. Of course I am. Carrie answered. Thought you knew already?
life is a long time ;
A lot of things have to go right for Carrie and Vinnie to get married. They have to live long enough for it to be worthwhile, and they have to either not know about the looming death in their iterations OR know, and know the ending this time. When they're unaware, but comfortable in their relationship, Carrie is the one daydreaming about a wedding. He'd like a whole day celebrating him and Vinnie and their eternal happiness; he wishes he remembered family enough to imagine a crowd of people for both of them throwing flower petals in the air. Maybe out in the country, an autumn wedding where everything warm-toned and crisp and cold. Vinnie doesn't think about weddings. He grew up his whole childhood Catholic, he thought he would be marrying a girl in a church. But with Carrie, if they were to get married, it'd be whatever made Carrie happiest. Vinnie'd be the one to propose, of course. Pop the question with a gem he'd know could be worn as a necklace rather than a ring. He just wants to see that smile.
