Quicksilver X FemReader - Shooting Star

Mysterious Man

Bzz Bzz Bzzzzz

Your alarm clock was shaking, making screeching noises as the first ray of sunlight broke the smooth line of the earth's horizon. Grumbling, your feet grazed the chilly floor, and you stood, yawning. You pulled on your worn-out running shoes and pulled on your running bra and shorts. You couldn't wait to get back home after your run and have breakfast, so you quickly finished getting ready and raced out the door.

By the time you arrived at the park, you realized you were out of breath. "Must just be the cold air," you muttered.

"Or maybe it's because you need to train harder." A Russian accent slithered through the morning light and danced on your ears.

"What are you doing here, Pietro?"

"What, do you own this park?"

"Well- no, but-"

"Ah, then, I have every right to be here with or without your permission."

"Fine..""Want to run with me?"

You raised your eyebrow in surprise. "Me?" 'But I'm a potato,' you thought.

"Yes, you. Who else is standing here? Your imaginary friend Steve?"

You roll your eyes. "Sure. Fine. Whatever."

"Let's go, then."

The two of you took off down the path in the woods, having a light conversation until you were out of breath. Running in silence, you put your hands on your knees and stopped to rest.

"I gotta get to work soon. I just got a job at the anime store at the mall," you huffed, breathing hard. "We should head back."Pietro nodded.

"Alright. I love Anime, by the way."

"You should come in sometime. Leave me a tip or something."

"Why would I do that?" he asked.

"I don't know, maybe you could be nice for once."

"I see." Pietro began running further up the path. "See you." He was gone. So fast, like a shooting star. How did he do that? Shaking your head, you began to run back.

"(Y/N) to desk #3 please," The intercom crackled. You hurried from the back room of the anime store and took your place at the cash register #3.

"Hey, Lilah!" You exclaimed. Lilah was your new friend at the Anime store. She usually worked at the registers, so being the back room stocker, you didn't see her often. She smiled and tipped her baseball cap.

"Hey!"

"Do you know why they need me at a register?" You asked, typing the amounts into the machine. An eager teenage boy was purchasing some expensive cosplay.

"Just a lot of people." Lilah replied.

"I see."

"Hey, (Y/N), look! There's a cute guy over there!" she whispered, pointed to a man in the corner. His silver hair stood out against the black SAO jacket, along with his electric blue exercise shirt. Your eyes widened. Quicksilver.

"Lilah, he's a jerk-face." You whispered.

"How do you know?" She mumbled.

"I ran with him this morning."

"Wh-aat? You lucky duck!" Lilah looked excited. "Take me with you!"Rolling your eyes, you returned to checking out customers, and you noticed Lilah's strawberry blonde hair whipping around as she kept glancing at the mysterious man in the corner.
