a/n: love at first sight is real y’all.

synopsis: hugo’s heart beating out of his chest when he sees you.
vivian hugo had been told, many times, that he was strange. strange as in the "why did you just make laser sound effects while opening a soda can?" kind of way. not that he really cared at the end of the day.
he liked weird things. he liked old sci-fi movies. he liked making little "beep beep" noises when backing away from people in crowded hallways. he liked staring at clouds and pretending they were spaceships.
love, however? love was stupid. love was inefficient. love was the reason half his teammates made terrible decisions.
then he saw you. and suddenly–
badump.
he stopped walking.
badump.
the world seemed to pause.
badump.
"... huh."
you were standing outside a café, sunlight catching on your sunglasses as you laughed at something on your phone. that was it. you weren't doing anything dramatic. you weren't rescuing puppies or descending from heaven or whatever. you were literally just standing there, like a normal civilian.
yet all hugo could hear was–
badump.
badump.
badump.
he stared. you looked up. your eyes met. you smiled.
and hugo, in all his brilliance, immediately walked straight into a street sign.
CLANG.
the sound echoed down the entire sidewalk.
for a second, everything went silent. then your eyes widened before your legs rushed over.
"oh my gosh, are you okay???”
before hugo could even process his own embarrassment, you were already hurrying over to him, concern written all over your face. your hand lightly touched his forehead as you checked for injuries, and suddenly the pain from the collision became completely irrelevant.
because you were looking at him. talking to him. worried about him.
BADUMP.
BADUMP.
BADUMP.
his heart was going insane. he barely heard your question over the sound of it. in fact, he was pretty sure it was trying to escape his chest entirely.
you were beautiful. kind. attentive. and you had rushed over to help a complete stranger who had just lost a fight against a metal pole.
there’s only one logical explanation, hugo thought as he stared at you, completely dazed.
ah. so this is destiny.
that had to be it. there was absolutely no other reason his heart had chosen this exact moment to start screaming.
BADUMP.
BADUMP.
BADUMP.
yep. he was in love.
