you were on a solo trip in venice. you decided you needed to treat yourself, so here you were, in an observatory on the top of a bridge, admiring the view down below. there were a few others aswell observing the view, but you ignored them, blasting your music and zoning out happily. you bop your head to the music, when suddenly the birds you were watching flew away, and the ground beneath you began to shake.
removing your headphones, you turn to see how others were reacting to this, but you were alone. brows furrowed, you looked down to see that everyone else was already down below, running and screaming, but from what? a quick scan of your surroundings gave you that answer. the water from under the bridge began to swirl around, building up, forming and shaping into a human like figure. your heart sank as you finally snap out of your trance and begin to make your way out of the observatory. when you made it onto the actual bridge, your heart nearly stopped. this water man had now spanned hundreds of feet, and was looking down right at you, considering you were literally the only one left on the bridge. you quickly back up, tripping over your own feet and landing roughly on your ass. the water man began to raise his fist over you, and you thought it was over. you squeeze your eyes shut, letting out a cry of fear as you prepare to be smashed by this thing when suddenly, you were in the air.
your eyes fly open, realizing you were in the arms of a man who had a fishbowl of some sort as a helmet. you let out a gasp, clinging helplessly to him as he lands back on the ground away from the bridge. once you regain balance, the man lets go of you and retracts his helmet. upon eye contact, the both of you freeze for a good 5 seconds. quentin never really believed in love at first sight, until just now. he was taken back by your beauty, and completely forgot there was a giant water monster behind him. he seems to snap out of his trance eventually, deciding to introduce himself.
"are you alright? im mysterio but i- you can call me quentin" he smiles softly. you simply nod, letting out shaky breaths and opening your mouth to say something, before the monster rudely interrupts and comes back into view, it was coming straight for the two of you again. you let out a scream, pointing helplessly at the monster. this seemed to remind quentin who somehow forgot it existed to turn around and fly towards it, effectively blasting the monster away from you.
mysterio easily "defeats' the monster, earning cheers and applaud from people nearby, but quentin didnt care. immediately he flies back to where he had put you down, but you were already gone.
quentin was insistent on knowing everything about you after that. he thought you were beautiful and interesting, and so he sent some of his assistants to find you. that was the hardest part, but finally they located you staying in a hotel not far from where he had saved you. he learned your name, your age, the fact that you were here on vacation, where you actually lived, weather you had a partner or not. he became more intrigued with you with each passing day. he waited by your hotel, for you to inevitably come outside.
he did this for a few weeks, effectively staying hidden. weather he was there in person or watching via drone, he carefully observed your every move, where you ate, what clothes you wore, how you walked, how you talked, how you slept. this went on for a few weeks, and you never noticed. quentin knew this quentin knew this was wrong, but he was too nervous to actually talk to you yet. in his mind, this was the second best option.
quentin knew through overhearing a conversation you had with a friend on the phone that you were going back home soon, so he decided now was the time. that very next day he waited by your hotel at the time that you normally went out. when you finally stepped out, quentin made his move, bumping into you 'accidentally'.
"oh im so sorry!" you apologize, upon looking up at him, you realized who it was. "wait.… you're mysterio! err, its quentin? right? you saved me on the bridge" you smile softly. quentin could have swore his whole face was more red than a tomato, you remembered his name.
"oh wow, yeah! what a coincidence! im so sorry about running into you there" he apologizes, using this time to observe your features in awe.
"no, its okay! im glad we ran into each other actually, i really wanted to thank you for saving my life a few weeks ago from that monster. how about i buy you a drink or something? its the least i could do" you beam, gesturing towards the little coffee shop across the street from the hotel.
"of course YN, you dont have to do that for me though, really. i would love to sit down and get to know you a little though?" he responds, his smile faltering slightly as he watches confusion fall over your face.
"howd you know my name?" you question, watching as his smile falls for just a fraction of a second.
"oh! yeah i- you told me the day i saved you, remember?" quentin lies, praying to the lord above that you would believe him and move on.
"oh, huh. completely forgot about that" you laugh, putting it off as you being forgetful "i would like to get to know you more too though, this coffee place is really great. i go here just about every day" you went on as the two of you cross the street. quentin already knew that, but he smiles and nods as if he never did.
the two of you converse in the coffee shop for at least an hour, the both of you getting along great.
"i really enjoyed getting to know you quentin, and im glad we ran into each other before i have to go back home." you voice as you down the rest of your coffee.
"yeah, me too YN. how about we exchange numbers? id love to keep in touch" he smiles, having a silent victory as you agree. the two of you exchange numbers before stepping out of the coffee shop.
"¡ guess ill talk to ya later, quentin" you smile up at him, nudging his arm and walking off casually. quentin is left staring in awe until you were out of sight, a smile and the dusting of red on his cheeks didnt leave his face for a good 2 hours after.
