Evan Peters Drabbles

Just Sleep (Quicksilver [X-Men] x Reader)

You & Peter were the talk of the Mansion. You snuck into his room almost every night just to see him & everybody in the Mansion knew. The only thing they didn't know was what really happened when it was just you two behind closed doors. Well, they thought they did, but they were wrong. They all assumed that you & Peter just constantly had sex, but if they knew the truth, they'd be disappointed to know that their scandalous ideas were entirely off base. You & Peter weren't like that. In fact, you were the exact opposite. Sex was the last thing on both of your minds, at least for now. All you two ever thought about was each other & just being able to be with each other all the time; to be able to feel each others' warmth & heart beats & to hear the other's voice just to stay sane. You & Peter were the kind of people that were so hopelessly in love with each other that it was the only thing on your minds, besides each other.

Your relationship had started off so naïvely & sweetly, meeting for the first time in the Danger Room for training. You had been newly recruited & since you already had full control of your abilities, you were immediately dubbed as a member of the X-Men & your training began. That was how you met Peter, but it wasn't love at first sight. It was more like friends at first word. The minute Peter said, "Hi, I'm Peter & you have the coolest jacket I've ever seen," you knew you & him would be great friends. And you were right.

From that day forward, you became the best of friends, although in reality, you both knew it was turning out to be something more. It happened so fast; he broke down your walls like no one else could, & made you smile so much that your face hurt.

You had the same effect on him. He suddenly found himself constantly talking about himself, something he never did before around anyone. Although he was cheeky, he never really had that boasted confidence he feigned. He was always, deep down, incredibly insecure, but you changed that. You made him love himself for who he was & that was something he knew he could never fully thank you for, not that you wanted him to.

After witnessing yours & Peter's relationship firsthand, it was no wonder why the entire mansion thought you were both sleeping with each other; however, Charles knew that wasn't the case. He was probably the only person aside from the two of you who actually knew what you both did in your spare time. He knew how in love you both were with each other & he could feel the depth of the romance between you two. Truthfully, that was why he let your relationship continue under his roof. You both brought out the best in each other & gave one another a reason to be, as Mystique puts it, "Mutant & proud". He could feel your love for each other from miles away & it put a smile even on his face. It reminded him of himself & Moira & he could never destroy someone else's romance like he did to his own.

Even now, while you were next to Peter in his bed, Charles could feel the love radiating from behind the door, despite the fact that Peter's room was up on the highest floor & farthest away from his office. Feeling all that love from just two people brought so much love to his own heart that he'd fall asleep peacefully & happily every night for a whole week. In all honesty, yours & Peter's relationship was one of the greatest things to happen at the Mansion, despite all the drama it sparked from the others.

It was currently past two in the morning, but you & Peter were wide awake. You were both in your pajamas & under the covers, Peter's walkman between you two & your intertwined hands beside it. He was currently playing RUSH, the sweet sound of Something for Nothing pouring out from one head phone into one of each others' ear. This was one of Peter's favorite RUSH songs, always saying that it reminded him "of how you came along & made something out of me".

You smiled softly as you turned to look at him, "Peter?" you barely whispered.

"Shhh," he said, "this is my favorite part," you rolled your eyes playfully but your smile only widened. His love for music was something you shared, including love for the same bands & artists.  That was probably the aspect about you that really made Peter want to get to know you & get close to you. He didn't often find others who loved the same music that he did, but when he did, his stomach got butterflies & his heart felt warm & he just got so excited that he'd speak even faster than he normally did. That was a trait of his that made you just want to kiss him all the time. His constant excitement & happiness was so infectious. It was extremely difficult not to be happy around the goofball, if not impossible. There was just no way you could be sad or frown when Peter was around.
