One Shots

Approval - Wanda x Reader

Gender Neutral - They/Them

Y/N has been crushing hard on Wanda for the past year. They’re finally ready to confess their feelings! First they need to get the approval of their best friend, who just so happens to be the girl's brother, Pietro.

Pietro stumbles backward as Y/N welcomes themself into his room, immediately bursting into a rambling mess. "Woah, slow down! I'm supposed to be the speedster here." Pietro chuckles, gently halting Y/N with soft hands on their shoulders. "Wanna try again, Bud?"

"Sorry, I'm just freaking out." Y/N admits. Their hands wring together compulsively. "I have to tell you something and I have no clue of how you're going to react but I can't keep quiet any longer."

"Y/N, we’ve been best friends for what? Six years now?"

"Seven and a half, actually."

"See, that furthers my point! You can tell me anything, Bud." Pietro's genuine smile fills Y/N with the confidence they lost on the short walk across the hallway.

"Okay," Y/N takes a moment to catch their breath, and mentally prepare for the revelation they're about to drop on poor Pietro. "I think...no, I know I'm falling for your sister." Pietro blinks rapidly, brows furrowing. "It started as just a silly crush, I mean who could blame me. It's Wanda! But then it didn't fade like I anticipated, in fact it just grew more and I don't want to hide away anymore but, I also don't want to ruin our friendship because you always come first so, really, what I'm trying to say is...Would you be comfortable if I asked your sister on a date?"

The room falls silent, neither Pietro or Y/N break the eye contact between them. If anyone were to walk in at this moment they would assume the pair were in a staring contest. That is until Pietro begins giggling like a toddler.

Y/N pouts, confusion laced with frustration forming on their face. "What's so funny?"

"You-ba-hahaha," Pietro raises one finger, asking Y/N to wait for his laughter to subside. They cross their arms, foot tapping impatiently - though it was in good cheer. "Sorry, sorry." His chuckles die down, the red on his cheeks linger from the force.

"C'mon, Pietro." Y/N begs, a nervous smile mimicking his own.

"Y/N, I've known you've had a thing for my sister for months now." He declares, grin shifting into a proud smirk. "I think I knew before you did."

"No way, what? No way!" Y/N shakes their head animatedly. Arms flailing about comedically. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Ah yes, 'cause it's a totally normal concept for someone else to tell you who you're into." Pietro wraps a lazy arm around Y/N's shoulders. "I was waiting for you to admit it to yourself. Took you long enough, by the way."

"Wait so, does this mean you're cool with it?" Y/N asks, a hopeful sparkle in their eyes.

"'Course I'm cool with it, Bud!" Pietro squeezes their shoulder in a side hug, "I know you'll treat her right, you already do so as her friend. I trust you, Y/N." Y/N grows a dopey grin on their face.

"I'm gonna go ask her right now!" Y/N darts for the door, but collides face first with Pietro's chest instead.

"Woah, woah, woah. Slow down!" Pietro holds one hand on the door, blocking any retreat.

"But you-"

"Dude, it's literally two am." Pietro announces, prompting Y/N to look to the digital clock on his beside table. Their mouth forms the shape of an 'O,' a silent realisation. "Yeah."
