Quick Kisses (QuicksilverxReader) One-Shot

Life could sometimes get boring.

Repetitive to be more exact.

You’d had wanted to do something to spice up your life but lately, you had been so deep in your work you were drowning in it. Sometimes you wondered if your boss loved seeing you miserable.

You walked up to the front doors of Stark Tower, or as it was known now as Avengers Tower, and typed in the correct passcode to enter the building. Once the silver sleek doors opened, you trudged inside with your head hanging low. All you wanted now was to go to bed and curl up with a tub of Ben & Jerry’s.

“I really want that ice cream,” you mumbled.

A gust of wind blew by.

“Hey (Name),” said the famous silver haired mutant as he raced by you.

You felt dizzy for a split second. Pietro Maximoff, or Quicksilver, had the ability of super speed. He used his power most of the time. You didn’t mind it but sometimes it really toyed with your brain. You were always unsure of whether or not you had actually seen him or if it were your eyes playing tricks on you. Seconds later he zoomed by and stopped in front of you with a tub of ice cream with a spoon in hand.

“Tony got this,” he said. “Thought you might want it or something.”

He quickly pushed the items in your hand, leaving in a flash. When you looked down, you noticed that you also had a receipt for the ice cream. According to the receipt the ice cream had been purchased just seconds ago.

“That’s….odd.”

The next day was Saturday which meant no work for you. This morning you woke up past noon, missing breakfast and lunch. However when you went to the bathroom to take a quick shower, you came back to see that someone had made you a cheeseburger. It was made recently since the meat was still warm.

“I don’t know who did this,” you said as you picked up the burger. “But whoever you are, I love you.”

After you finished getting the nice meal someone had left for you, you headed downstairs to hear hushed voices in the kitchen and the smell of burgers still lingered in the air. Looked like one of the guys had cooked it for you. You were about to walk into the kitchen to thank whoever had done so when you heard something that made your ears perk up.

“....I’m sure (Name) likes you back.”

Huh?

It was Tony’s voice but the other voice you couldn’t make out. The other person in the kitchen was speaking incredibly low for your liking. Was it possible that someone had a crush on you?

“Are you serious?” Tony scoffed. “You’ve been getting her stuff for the past week. It’s pretty obvious to me that you like her. Just admit it already. You’re making this seem like puppy love. Do you want it to stay like that?”

There was a short pause followed by some more whispering.

“That’s what I thought,” Tony snickered. “Now go figure out a way to tell her you like her….Now why should a love guru like myself tell you how? Sometimes you just need to learn for yourself kid.”

After hearing that, you wanted to run into the room to see who it was Tony was talking to. He had mentioned your name so you had the right to know what was going on. Sadly, when you walked into the kitchen, no one was there. All you saw was Tony who was smirking at you while drinking his coffee.

“Hey there sleepy head, enjoying your day off?”

“Uh yeah….” you trailed off with a puzzled look on your face. “Was someone in here?”

“Nope,” he shook his head. “It’s just been me this entire time.”

“If you say so…”

“Quicksilver!” you called.

He jumped when he heard you calling his name and turned around to face you with  cool, confident grin.

“Hey (Name), what’s up?”

“I was just wondering if you want to play some video games since everyone else in the tower is busy,” you smiled with a small blush coating your cheeks. “So do you want to?”

“I don’t know. Can you handle losing?” he chuckled.

You raised an eyebrow at him. “I can. Can you?”  

“Oh it’s on now,” he grinned, gone in the blink of an eye.

You ran towards the gaming room to see that he had everything set up. The video game was on with its usual loading screen, the bean bag chairs were in front of the plasma screen TV, and Pietro had gotten possibly all the junk food that was stashed in Avengers Tower stacked up around the chairs. It looked like it was going to be a good evening for you.

You were still curious about what you had heard in the kitchen but decided to let it slide. Everything would be revealed eventually anyways.

The video game started. Pietro had selected the game Call of Duty for you two to play. The game started off with you and Pietro in the usual area. Things started out good but eventually escalated where you both surrounded and trying to beat the game. Pietro was moving his thumbs faster than the speed of light, leaving you stunned.

“Curse your powers,” you grumbled.

Your thumbs on the other hand were started to tense up from pressing the buttons so much.

“Jealous?” Pietro smirked.

“Shut it, Sonic.”

“What?”

“Sonic the Hedgehog?” you said. “You know, that blue dude that goes really fast.”

“Right him,” he laughed. “I’m taking that as a compliment. I’m a little thirsty, you want anything?”

“Iced tea is—”

“Here ya go,” he cut you off, placing a bottle of ice tea by your side.

You looked down at the bottle, up at him, and then back down at the bottle. Sometimes you really underestimated how fast Pietro could be. It left you shocked each time he showed you the things he could do in a matter of seconds.

“Impressed?” he smirked.

“Pfft, barely,” you joked, mirroring the smirk he wore on your face.

You turned back to the game and went back into gamer mode. Every time one of you would finish a bag of chips or ran out of drinks, Pietro would leave the room and come back in just two seconds to replace what was lost. He was certainly winning but you weren’t about to give up.

Pietro had left the room again to get some gummy bears and when he returned, you felt something brush against your lips. You looked over to him curiously only to see him playing the video game normally. You placed a finger on your lips, wondering what had just happened. Something in your brain clicked. You set your control down and grabbed Pietro by the collar to pull him in for a kiss.

“W-What was that for?” he stammered. “Not that I didn’t like it or anything.”

“Because the kiss you gave me was too quick,” you pouted, soon giggling when you saw him blush. “By the way, I heard you talking to Tony in the kitchen earlier today.”

“How’d you know it was me?”

“Now I do,” you grinned before pulling him in for another kiss.

This one was longer than the first two combined.

Life could sometimes get boring.

Repetitive to be more exact.

You were reminded of this once again as you walked into the Avengers Tower after another hard day of work. You set your jacket on the coat rack, puckering your lips as a certain silver haired male zoomed past to “steal” a quick kiss. You stepped inside the elevator to go to your floor, a flash of silver being seen before the elevator doors closed.

You sighed happily as you changed out of your work clothes into your pajamas, giggling to yourself when you felt a familiar breeze pass by. And you grinned when you lied down in bed only to have someone wrap their arms around you the second that your head hit the pillow.
