Fun With A Trickster (QuicksilverxReader) One-Shot

“(f/n) (l/n)!” Logan roared from downstairs. “You’re gonna get it this time, kid!”

You barely had enough time to register what was happening when Logan stormed into your room with his hot pink colored claws out. You wanted to pretend that this was not your doing but one look at his claws and you lost it. You doubled over laughing, face turning cherry red. Logan however was not amused.

“You might want to run before the Professor tries to convince me to not hurt you,” the Wolverine growled.

A puff of dark blue and black swirls appeared in front of you and when the smoke dissipated, you saw Kurt with a devilish grin on his face.

“Vey, (Name)!” he grinned. “I ‘eard you were in trouble so I decided to pop in.”

“You couldn’t have shown up at a better time, Kurt,” you smiled.

Before Logan had a chance to stop you, Kurt wrapped an arm around your waist to pull you close to him and teleported to the schools fountain. You and Kurt were both laughing with each other when you told him the story of how you found a weak spot on Logan’s side that made his claw come out without waking him up from his sleep. It had happened when you walked into the living room this morning to see that he was passed out on the couch with a few empty beer bottles around him. You poked his side to wake him up, but got his claws to come out instead. Pleased with this newfound information, you decided to paint his claws hot pink. You wasted a bottle of it but it was worth it.

There was a gust of wind that blew in front of you, making you blink rapidly.

“What are you two dorks laughing about?” Pietro asked, raising an eyebrow at you.

“Didn’t you hear? I gave Logan quite a good manicure this morning if I do say so myself,” you said with a proud smile.

“Nice going princess,” Pietro chuckled, blowing a few silver locks away from his face.

“(NAME).”

The three of you turned around to see Logan on his way to drag you into the Professor’s office to get a good scolding.

“Uh oh…” you said.

Kurt was about to grab you but Pietro being the speedster that he is, grabbed you first.

“I got this one, Kurt,” Pietro smirked devilishly.

   The silver haired trouble maker took out his skateboard and had you climb on it with him. It was obvious that Pietro was the fastest mutant on the campus and perhaps in the whole world, but you did not expect to go so fast down the pavement and have everything pass by in millisecond snippets. Your head was spinning when Pietro stopped effortlessly in front of the arcade downtown.

“You alright, princess?” he asked, shaking you a little.

“Whoa...don’t...don’t do that….” you mumbled, grabbing your head.

He frowned. “Aw sorry about that. I guess I went a little too fast,” he smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.

“I-It’s fine,” you blushed, looking away from his eyes. “Thanks for saving me back there.”

“It’s no problem. Now,” he said, looping his arm through yours. “I say we go in and enjoy the rest of our evening before Logan comes and slices us up with those hot pink claws.”

“He should thank me that now he’ll look fabulous whenever he’s kicking ass,” you huffed.

“Yeah,” Pietro chuckled. “He should.”

    However the good times were put to a stop faster than both of you would have liked. Professor X had probably used Cerebro to locate the two of you because twenty minutes later, Scott had shown up in his car with Jean to pick you both up.

“Should we run again?” Pietro whispered in ear, eyes wide from seeing the adult mutants.

“Do that and you’ll be in even more trouble,” Jean warned, hands on her hips.

You sighed. “Alright, alright. We’re going.”

     The two of you reluctantly went back to the school and received a long speech about discipline and taking responsibilities for your actions from Professor X. Logan had been standing behind the Professor the entire time, a scowl on his face. Judging by the pink smudges on his knuckles, it had taken quite a while to take off that nail polish. You needed to bite your inner cheek to stop yourself from giggling. Pietro kept nodding and saying, “uh-huh” whenever it was appropriate to demonstrate how much he was listening.

“Are you two even taking this seriously?” Professor X asked with a frown.

“Of course sir,” you nodded.

“Well then you’ll have no problem with me assigning you to clean up the training room after Logan and Scott finish using it….for the entire week,” he said with a shrug.

“Professor!” you both gasped.

“But we can’t—” Pietro began.

“No buts. Now go,” the Professor stiffly said.

♦♦♦♦♦♦

      While you waited to be called down for cleaning duties, you prayed that the mess wouldn’t be as bad as it usually is. Pietro had brought up the idea of running away to join the circus or The Brotherhood to escape this punishment a few times, but you turned it down each time and threatened him several times to make him not even dare to go.

“You’re no fun, (Nickname),” he pouted, sliding down your bedroom wall.

The two of you were in your room trying to get the fun back into the atmosphere. Pietro had been looking through your things, playing with your basketball, and was doing other things to stop his boredom.

“Pietro cut it out,” you scolded, taking the ancient spell book away from his hands.

You went to put it back on the shelf, only to see it was gone again.

“Hey what’s this spell?” he asked curiously. “...Azarath Metrion Zinthos!”

“Pietro, no—!”

But it was too late. A dark energy emerged from the book; swirling around until creating a strange shadowy figure. All of the lightbulbs in your room blew out and even your bedroom windows broke. You quickly yanked the book from his hands and shut it close, a small yelp being heard. Pietro stuck his lower lip out in a pout.

“Swworrry (Name),” he said with his best puppy dog eyes.

“One of these days I’m going to hex you and you’ll go from being the fastest boy on earth, to the slowest,” you hissed. You went to put the book back in its rightful place.

“You think I’m the fastest?” he asked with a hint of pride underneath his voice.

You detected that prideful tone and blushed slightly, but you weren’t about to give in that easily. “What do you want me to say that I think you’re cute too?” you raised an eyebrow at him.

He raised both eyebrows. “Well….do you?” he asked with a smug smirk.

You wordlessly turned back to the book and opened it to the spell that Pietro had recited earlier. With your hand raised to him you said, “Azarath Metrion Z—!”

“Okay, okay!” he put his hands up in defense. With a blink of an eye, he appeared behind you and wrapped an arm around your waist. “You know I love to kid around with you, princess,” he murmured near your ear.

“P-Pietro….” you half stammered, half growled. You wanted to be mad at him but your blushing face made your intentions seem untrue.

He snatched the book from your hands and put it back on the shelf, appearing in front of you in less than a second. He rocked back and forth on his heels with a smug smirk on his face.

“Looks like you must think I’m cute if you’re blushing~” he teased.

“I am not—!” you began even more red-faced.

“(Name), Pietro,” Kitty’s head literally popped in through your door. “Professor X wants you two to go down to the training room.”

“Oh great,” Pietro groaned.

“And he says to get there quick before he extends the punishment,” she added before disappearing.

    With a sigh, Pietro walked over to you and lifted you up bridal style, appearing down in the training room using his powers. He set you down gently and your jaw dropped. There were burnt marks all over the room, including the ceiling, broken crates lied all over the place and overall it looked you would both be here for a long time.

“Vey, (Name),” Kurt said, popping up behind you.

“Nightcrawler?” you said confused. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m punished too since I velped you escape first,” he sighed.

“Oh...sorry about that.”

“It’s okay,” he shrugged.

Pietro cracked his knuckles. “This will be done in no time. Just sit back and relax, children.”

“I’m older than you by a month,” you quipped.

“Hush you.”

He had just put his goggles over his eyes when the sound of the announcement speaker flickered on.

“Do that and your punishments will be extended for a month,” came Professor X’s voice.

“.....You’ve got to be kidding me,” Pietro groaned.

“I am not,” Professor X said. “Now get to work you three.”

Like a trio of zombies, the three of you went to collect the brooms and sponges from the closet.

♦♦♦♦♦♦

    It had taken almost the entire day to clean up that mess and Logan almost made you stay there the entire night because he didn’t think the training room was clean enough. Thank goodness Storm came along to stop him. Now you were back in your bedroom, lying back in bed with Pietro who was spinning around in your desk chair.

“Damn I think my shoulders are starting to hurt from all that sweeping,” he said, rolling his shoulders.

“My back hurts from scrubbing the floors,” you groaned. “Am I now qualified to call myself Cinderella?”

“Nah,” he shook his head with a chuckle. “You’re prettier than her so the name wouldn’t suit you.”

You grabbed your side as you started laughing, Pietro’s face turning strawberry red.

“If that was your attempt at a pick up line, I say that you should probably want to start asking Bobby for advice,” you teased.

“Pshhh Bobby gets his dating skills from me,” Pietro huffed, dramatically blowing his bangs away from his face.

“Suuurrre he does.”

“Whatever. I’m bored again. (Name), play with me.”

“I’m tired and hungry. So no.”

“(Naaaaaame),” he whined.

“.....Still no.”

“Fine I’ll just go through your things again.”

You sat right up in bed. “Don’t you dare Maximoff!”

“Oh ho ho~” he grinned. “And what are these?”

Your face turned bright red when you saw Pietro across the room holding up your black lacy underwear. You rushed over to yank it out of his hands but to no avail as he zoomed on over to stand on top of your bed, holding them up high.

“Now princess, you didn’t have to buy these for me,” he said.

“I’ve had those for a while now and they’re not for you!” you barked, trying to snatch them back. “Now give it back!”

“Make me~”

“Why you little—!”

“Calling me names will get you nowhere, (Name),” he smirked.

“....That’s it!” you snapped, your rage making you to start floating. “I’m going into your room and finding your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles boxers so that I can hang them up on the school's flagpole!” Unfortunately for Pietro, you had discovered those a while back and although you said you wouldn’t tell anyone, didn’t mean you would never blackmail him with it.

His grin dropped from his face. “You wouldn’t dare.”

“I so would,” you said with a sinister smile.

You dropped down on your knees to the floor and quickly phased through the floor and the rest of the floors underneath you.

“(Name), don’t!” Pietro called out your (still broken) window when he saw you running across the yard towards his bedroom.

He dropped your underwear and ran over to you, scooping you up in his arms before you had the chance to reach his room. You elbowed him several times in his sides to get him to drop you but that didn’t work.

“Drop me or else I will end you, Maximoff!” you threatened.

“Oh lighten up, princess,” he chuckled when he began to tickle your sides. “Don’t forget that I did save you earlier today.”

“B-But we still—ahaha!—g-got caught anyways,” you managed to say through fits of laughter.

Pulling on his hair got him to let you go for a moment at least. However the two of you were still picking on each other even when you arrived in the kitchen. Blink was sitting there eating some ice cream when she saw you two come in.

“Well if it isn’t the two love birds,” she said. “I get that you’re both so utterly in love with each other but please don’t flaunt it in my face.”

“We’re not in love!” you both shouted.

“Suurrre you guys aren’t,” she chuckled.

You were about to say something when your stomach growled. Looking at Blink and to the refrigerator and back to Blink, you got an idea.

♦♦♦♦♦♦

“Hiya (Name)” Pietro’s head poked out from behind your curtain.

“Holy crab cakes!” you gasped, falling off your bed from being scared.

Thanks to Blink and your hexing powers, you were able to keep a portal in your room hidden behind the curtains and another portal downstairs in the fridge on the top, near the fridge’s light bulb. No one knew about this except you, Blink and Pietro. It looked like the troublemaker wanted to scare the living daylights out of you since he had just poked his head through the portal downstairs.

“I didn’t know you could get so scared easily, princess,” Pietro chuckled, now in your bedroom.

“Remind me why I shouldn’t kick you out?”

“Because you love me~”

“......No.”

He rolled his eyes. “Come on,” he poked your side. “I said I was sorry about the underwear thing.”

No response.

“(Naaaaaaame). I deeply apologize. Oh great and powerful Vixen (Name),” he said bowing down to you. “Please forgive me.”

“....Only if you get me ice cream.”

“Done,” he grinned, a bowl of (favorite flavour) ice cream in hand.

“And whipped cream,” you grinned.

“...Done.”

You accepted the bowl and his apology. “Do it again and I will hang up those boxers for the entire school to see,” you threatened before bringing up a spoonful of ice cream to your lips.

“Whatever,” he huffed. “Those boxers are sexy and you know it. Well, maybe not as much as your under—”

He stopped when you glared at him.

“So what do you want to do today, princess?” he asked, changing the subject. “You know before we have to go clean the training room again.”

You shrugged. “I kinda want to relax for a bit.”

“But that’s no fun,” he pouted. “Come on. Let’s go prank someone or something.”

“I don’t think we should prank anyone until we’re done with our punishment.”

“Then what do you suggest we do?”

You looked back to the curtains where your small portal was hidden behind.

“I have an idea.”

♦♦♦♦♦♦

     Blink had been skeptical about the idea at first and wasn’t sure if it was a safe thing to do, but after being convinced from both you and Pietro, she finally agreed. You, Pietro, Kurt, and Blink were in the gardens of the school with other students who were just passing on by. Blink created two portals: one on the ground, and another just a few feet above it.

“So who wants to go first?” she asked.

“I do!” you smiled.

You jumped into the portal and at first freaked out when you kept going through one portal to the next rapidly, but then you began to laugh. As you fell through the portals, you did small twirls and got into the fetal position to spin around.

“Guys...this...is….awesome!” you yelled each time you went through the portals.

“She looks like she’s having the time of her life,” Pietro laughed.

Several minutes of this and you were starting to get dizzy.

“Guys...I’m...gonna...throw...up!...He...lp!”

Blink made the portals disappear, Pietro catching you before you hit the ground.

“Thanks Maximoff,” you grinned, ruffling his hair.

“No problem, princess,” he winked at you. He turned to Blink after setting you down. “My turn~!”

Blink cracked her knuckles before creating two portals that were further apart this time and were up vertically. Pietro stood in the center and snapped his goggles on. He sped through the portals faster than you had ever seen before. The speedster was laughing himself and when he stopped right in the center, he walked over to you like a drunk person would. His silver hair was puffed up and blown back but he still had his boyish grin that made him look adorable.

“That was...awesome!”

“It sure did look like it,” you chuckled. “Kurt do you think you can teleport into one of the portals?”

“Uhh dat’s not a good idea, (Name),” he said, shaking his head.

“Yeaaah I don’t want to start experimenting with that now,” Blink said. With a wave of her hand, the portals disappeared. “I gotta get going now guys but it was fun,” she smiled.

“Yeah same ‘ere,” Kurt said.

“I need to head to the library. Do you mind taking me?” Blink asked Kurt.

“Not a problem,” he smiled.

He put an arm around her waist and the two disappeared in a puff of smoke.

“...I ship it,” you said.

“Funny cause I ship us,” Pietro smirked.

You playfully hit his shoulder. “Oh shut up,” you blushed.

♦♦♦♦♦♦

After another long evening of cleaning up the training room, you and Pietro were in the living room watching TV. Nothing particularly interesting was on but since you were so exhausted, you didn’t care. Neither did Pietro since he hadn’t whined about being bored.

“(Name)...we’re friends right?” he suddenly asked.

“Yeah. Why?” you asked, eyes still on the television.

“Just wondering.”

“Dork.”

“Dweeb.”

You glanced up to see he had a small smile on his face and so did you.

“You know I heard Kurt asked Blink out on a date,” you said.

“That happened fast.”

“Yeah,” you laughed. “But good for them.” You let out a long sigh. “Everyone’s got someone but me,” you said dramatically.

“Shut up. I’m single too,” Pietro poked your side.

“Maybe we should just date each other,” you joked.

Only when there was an awkward silence did you realize what you had said. Pietro was looking away with a blush to his cheeks and soon you too became red in the face. You looked back to the TV to take your mind off of things.

♦♦♦♦♦♦

The next day, you went to Pietro’s room so that you both could head down to clean up the training room. You knocked on his door before entering, finding him still in bed with his hair ruffled and wearing a simple cotton white t-shirt and what looked like to be black sweatpants since the blanket covered up most of his lower body.

“Hey you coming or what?” you asked, leaning against the doorframe.

He glanced up at you. “I’m lazy.”

“Well you don’t have a choice.” You walked over and sat on the edge of the bed and ruffled up his hair some more. “Come on we gotta go.”

Pietro pouted at you. “Skipping one day won’t hurt us.” You shot him a look which made him sigh. He rolled over and buried himself underneath of all the blankets, his back to you. “I’m not in the mood to go anyways. You should just go without me.”

You chewed on your lower lip in thought. Sure Pietro could be lazy at times but this wasn’t like him. Normally he’d just try to convince you to go do something else with him.

“Is it because of what I said yesterday?” you asked carefully. “Because if it is, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make things awkward between us. I was just joking around.”

“That,” he pointed his index finger at your nose. “..is why I….oh just forget it.”

His arm plopped back down onto the mattress. You grabbed his shoulder and pushed him onto his back. He didn’t even look at you.

“Pietro Maximoff, tell me what’s wrong. Don’t just leave me hanging like that.”

He quickly pulled you down by the collar of your shirt so that his lips could brush against yours. The action had left you stunned and made you turn bright red in the face. Your heart was pounding in your chest and your grip on his shirt loosened up.

“Yesterday I was going to tell you that dating each other wouldn’t be such a bad idea…” he mumbled. “I just didn’t know how you’d react to that.”

“I….wow….I really don’t know what to say.”

He sighed. “I knew you wouldn’t—”

You pressed your lips firmly against his, catching him by surprise.

“I said I didn’t know what to say. Not how to react,” you giggled softly. “This week has been hectic but I think it just made me realize that dating you won’t be such a bad idea.”

“Really?” he grinned.

You gave him a quick tap kiss. “Yes, really.”

Pietro wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you down on top of him, making a huge smile to appear on your face. You laughed as he rolled around with you in bed, nuzzling his face in your neck.

“Pieetrooo, we need to go before they send for someone to look for us!” you laughed.

“Just one more minute,” he mumbled as he lied down still in bed with you still in his arms.

“I’ll be sure to tell Professor X to extend your punishment to next week,” Scott, who was leaning against the doorframe said.

He left the room, leaving you speechless.

“Oops sorry,” Pietro carelessly said.

You playfully hit his shoulder. “You dork!”

“Love ya too, ya dweeb,” he happily grinned.
