Hi! My name's Vaishali, but I also go by V :); pronouns: she/her; sexual orientation: straight; I'm really awkward, I am an avid pun user (especially when they're related to food or chemistry!!), and, speaking of food, I'm a big fan of anything Italian, as long as it's vegetarian :D
Hey V! Okay love, we’ve been mutuals for like one week but I already love you so much, so I gotta say that I’m super jazzed that you’re the first to send in a ship!But enough ado (though I’ll never hype you up enough!), time for the pairing. I ship you with… (bum ba da bummmmm…)
Pietro Maximoff! I know, not what you were expecting, was it? (Or maybe I’m just super predictable. Read on! and you will find out why.
If you asked Pietro Maximoff to “slow down”, he would probably scoff in your face and run away from the situation, leaving you eating his enhanced dust. 
That being said, it was infuriating him how, recently, he’d been forced by Vaishali’s plays on words to slow down and process. 
‘You could always just… not take notice of her puns?’ a small voice suggested at the back of his head, but could he really? 
Was it so much a choice he had made as it was his subconscious being willing to slow down for her? 
 “Pietro!” called out Vaishali, waving hello to him. 
His heart stopped for a minute as she smiled widely at him, even though his pulse had raced the minute he heard her voice. 
“Hello, Vaishali,” he spoke with a smile, rich Sokovian accent enunciating the words as no American accent could do justice. 
“I’ve told you, call me V.” 
“And I have told you,” Pietro responded, “I find your full name perfectly fine.” 
“I hope nick-ing that name from me full-fills you.” 
He raised an eyebrow at the odd wording, the slight pauses, the inflection, before he realized it. “As always, your plays on words are devastating.” 
‘Devastatingly creative,’ that voice added. 
“You should tell Tony,” replied V with a roll of her eyes. “Get the word out.” 
Winking, he watched her walk away for a moment before tearing his eyes away from the girl’s behind as he realized he was, in fact, falling behind.He didn’t get back up to full speed until you stopped running across his thoughts.
It wasn’t until a few weeks later that Pietro finally managed to address his feelings for Vaishali, the reluctant acceptance leading to his plan of action. 
“V, want to grab some Italian?” 
She wasn’t sure if she’d heard him quite correctly.“You called me V. And you’re suggesting that we get… Italian? How did you-” 
“I promise you, I’m not an… im-pasta.” 
She put her hands on her hips, knitting her brows together as she studied him thoroughly, before asking, “Am I being pun-ished?” 
‘Punished?’ He would never dream of it, was only trying to spring a plan into action, could never- 
Ahhh. He got it now. 
“Clever,” spoke up Pietro after a moment’s pause, “but no. I’m only trying to give you a… pizza my mind.” 
Eyes sparkling, V murmured something under her breath, before grinning widely. “I’ll see you tonight!” 
He winked at her as he walked away, hoping she didn’t notice him push the cue cards he’d been studying for a week back into his pocket. 
(She did). 
Short and cute, just like you! (Actually I’m not sure if you’re short or not, lol.) Thanks for sending in an ask!
