hey heaven! welcome to the wittimg world (love your name by the way!) so I have a request - angst #3 with usnavi, sonny and latina fem!character. where sonny crashes at usmavi's place and notice he isn't sleeping in his room anymore (which he thought is normal because when usnavi feels overwhelmed by his parents memories he sleeps on the couch) but this time it's different... usmavi usually has these insomnia phases where sonny can hear him going back and forth in the loving room. but truth is, usnavi is haunted by the memory of a girl from his past but he can't remember who she is and where it takes place even if it happens over and over....

A/N: Thank you for welcoming me to tumblr writing world! I used to write on wattpad but I like tumblr a lot more, actually. This is such an amazing plot, btw. I love it so much, thank you for this request. I hope my interpretation of it is to your liking, lovely! Also, thank you for the compliment, my mama and cousin picked it out for me :D.
“Stop”!! You squealed, running away from the water Usnavi sprayed on you.
“Come back here, Mujer” Usnavi laughed, chasing you with a water balloon and hose in hand.
“Not today, Satan”! You kept running, when you finally stopped; Still. Frozen in front of Usnavi with a confused and curious expression, repeating one sentence.
“Usnavi, you okay”? You asked, over and over again much to Usnavi’s confusion, until finally you came and punched him in the shoulder, “Bro, are you okay”!?
That was the last thing you’d said before Usnavi snapped back into reality to see Sonny standing in front of him, eyebrows furrowed with worry. This was the 2nd time this week Sonny had found his cousin pacing while stuck in a trance— He hadn’t stayed in his room in days and Sonny was frankly a little tired of his pacing when he was trying to sleep.
“Huh? Yeah, yeah. I’m good, Son”. Usnavi gave a weak exhausted smile. For most of his life, Navi had been plagued with insomnia, it kept him up for nights on end but this? It was different. For the past few months he’d been having flashbacks, visions, of this woman. He didn’t know who she was but her face was vivid in his mind, someone of his past he gathered— His heart felt tight whenever he remembered, er, tried to remember her. It was like she was a missing puzzle piece that he had to find, but he couldn’t remember her name to even start a search.
“Yeah, that’s why you’ve been sleeping in the living room for the past month and pacing like an idiot for the past two days? Believable”. Sonny scoffed, running a frustrated hand through his hair, exhausted himself with his cousins antics.
Usnavi sighed, Son was right. But, he couldn’t sleep in there— The nightmares, flashbacks, and visions were even worse in his room, at least in the living room he wasn’t in a king bed that seemed to be missing a woman from his past inside it. “It’s just…too empty in there. I can’t sleep in my room right now. Go to bed, ight? You’re working the register tomorrow at the bodega”.
“If your empty room bothers you so much, maybe try sleeping in it one day, Usnavi”.
If only it was that easy, Usnavi thought. He shook his head and sat down on the couch groaning into his hands— He was frustrated, the more he couldn’t remember the woman in his flashbacks, the more he longed for her.
“Just- Go to bed. I’m good man”.
Sonny rolled his eyes and finally walked away back to his own room.

“Papi, open your eyes” Your voice came out in a singsong way that sounded like honey to Usnavi’s ears. He opened one eye, his hands on your hips and a smile gracing his freckled features.
“It’s so early, Mi Vida. Come back to bed”. He groaned, rubbing soothing circles into your sides, something he’d done as a habit since the first day you’d gotten together.
“Nuh unh unh. I made you breakfast, Baby Boy. Eat with me”? You jut out your lower lip, booping your boyfriends nose; Usnavi sighed, he could never resist your pout, patting your thigh to let you know to let him up, he smiles in defeat making you squeak happily.
Usnavi woke up in a cold sweat, screaming into one of his pillows in pure frustration. The first time he’d slept in his room in weeks and the dreams had started back up, each one frustrating him more than the last. He had to find you.

Sonny was getting worried about Usnavi more each day, when he’d found out they’d had a neighbor moving in Sonny thought it’d be good for Navi to socialize and meet new people; Maybe just maybe, it’d get him out of this funk he was in.
“Come onnnn. She’s cute. Her and her mom just moved in”.
Usnavi was skeptical. He didn’t want to meet anyone— Not if they weren’t her. But he didn’t even know who “her” was. Maybe Son was right, he hated that he was right but he finally agreed, preparing some cupcakes; Store bought, the man can’t bake for shit. He and Sonny set off to meet their new neighbors…He hoped he could seem the least bit interested in what was happening while there.

When they arrived at the neighbors and rang the doorbell, Usnavi was anxious. Honestly, he’d rather be trying to find his dreamgirl but since it was unlikely; He’d appease his cousin and meet the neighbors instead. When the door opened, an older Cuban woman appeared, smiling politely at the two boys.
“Hello, I’m Terry. How can I help you boys”? She asked sweetly, reminding Usnavi a bit of Abuela with the comforting tone of voice in which she spoke.
“Uh, I’m Usnavi and this is my little cousin Sonny. We just wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood and bring you some cupcakes”, Usnavi spoke nervously, swallowing thickly. It wasn’t hot, but Usnavi could feel himself sweating a little.
“Aye. You boys are so handsome. Why don’t you come in? My daughter and I were just sitting down for tea. Wait a sec. Aye, Mija! Get yer ass down here to meet our neighbors”. She yelled out for someone, and sent a playful eye roll the boys way as a ‘see what I have to deal with’? They both gave a small awkward chuckle in response.
“She’s so shy, my daughter. Y/n! Hurry”!
~•~~•~•~~•~•~~•~ + ~•~~•~•~~•~•~~•~
Usnavi didn’t know why the name had struck something within him but suddenly he was even more nervous, sweating harder than before.
“Please, ma. I’m right here. Sorry about that. Hi, I’m…Y-Y/n” the woman introduced herself before seeing Usnavi and freezing to her spot.
The air was knocked out of Usnavi’s lungs, he and the woman stared at each other in shock. It was her. The woman from his flashbacks. The woman who’d been plaguing his dreams and messing up his sleep schedules. As they stared at each other, it all came back to him; Not only their old romance, but their old lives— He’d remembered each and every one of them and from the look on her face? So did she. They’d promised to search for each other after each life ended, he couldn’t remember at first but now he did. She was there. She was real.
His Y/n.
