Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver Imagines

The Brother

"So, are you ready to meet Y/N?" Pietro looks up at the sound of his twin sister's voice echoing across the room, then groans inwardly. Wanda's been keen on him meeting her friend ever since the two girls ran into each other a couple of months ago. He's been able to twist his way out of being dragged along on different get-togethers, but Y/N's coming over for dinner and a movie with Wanda and Pietro can't leave this time.

She's arriving in a few minutes, so Pietro reluctantly drags himself out of his usual chair in the corner of his room, pausing once before his mirror. He doesn't really care what Wanda's friends think of him, but he does at least want to look somewhat respectable.

Wanda's back in the kitchen, answering the door. Across the apartment, Pietro hears the sounds of happy conversation, a bubble of chatter that envelops him despite his distance from the two friends. Y/N steps into another room to put aside some of the dinner items she's brought, and Wanda turns back to face him. "Pietro, there you are. Y/N, this is Pietro, my twin brother."

Pietro enters the room, ready to say his hellos and then immediately leave. He steps into the living room to see the figure of a young woman with her back to him, placing a few boxes on an already crowded coffee table. She turns around at him, smiling. "I'm Y/N, but I guess you already knew that. Nice to meet you!" Somewhere in the back of his head, he realizes he should be saying something in return, but Pietro feels frozen in place, eyes lost on her face. Why didn't Wanda tell him that Y/N was so pretty?

From somewhere behind him, Pietro hears Wanda calling them to come get dinner, and he manages a somewhat awful pickup line before turning to leave the room before he could make the conversation any worse. When he comes to a stop in the kitchen, he finds Wanda staring at him with a gleeful expression. "So, are you going to be staying for the movie?" Pietro does his best to ignore his twin's victorious smirk, glancing instead at Y/N. "Yeah, I think I will."

. . .

You flit around your apartment, doing last-minute preparations for dinner at Wanda's. You have all of the appetizers destined for dinner, your phone is charged, everything looks good. You adjust your clothes nervously, double-checking yourself in the mirror to make sure you look alright. According to Wanda, you'll be meeting her twin brother tonight, and although you make sure to tell yourself that it doesn't matter what he thinks of you, you still find yourself wanting to make a good first impression.

You only have to knock once on the Maximoff front door before Wanda opens it, beaming. The two of you instantly start up a steady chatter, tossing compliments and pleasantries back and forth. Wanda takes a box from your already full arms, and glances at your outfit. "I love your blouse, Y/N! Where'd you get it?"

You grin as you head into the apartment close behind her. "Found it in some little marketplace in a town called Westview, actually. They've got a great creative industry- I hear you can make up anything you want there." Wanda clicks her tongue understandingly. "I'll have to look into that."

You step into the living room, placing your last couple of boxes on a charming coffee table in one corner. Behind you, you hear Wanda calling to her brother and beginning introductions. "Y/N, this is Pietro, my twin brother." You straighten up, turning around to come face to face with the older Maximoff.

From the second you see him, you feel your heart rate start to skyrocket. Why didn't Wanda tell you her brother was so good-looking? "I'm Y/N," you begin to say, "but I guess you already knew that." Why are you introducing yourself? She's already said your name a dozen times!

Pietro flashes you a grin that makes your cheeks heat up. You feel like you can't do anything but stand there, too afraid to move lest you ruin the moment, and feel a sudden rush of gratitude when Wanda calls out to you from the kitchen. "Y/N, come get some dinner while it's hot!" Pietro looks you up and down, smirking. "It's not the only thing that's hot." He turns and heads back to Wanda, leaving you frozen in place with a blushing grin you have to try your best to hide.
