Bruce BannerXAthletic!Reader Race

You felt your feet pound against the pavement as you ran. You felt your hair stick against your face, the sweat trapping it and holding it there before the run you made brushed it off.

You huffed as your goal came into view. Glancing behind you quickly, you saw three other runners catching up to you.

With one last burst of energy, you sped ahead, the goal now rushing to meet you, to embrace you.

Exhaling once more, you looked to the crowd up ahead. A sign caught your eyes.

You focused on it, the sign by the goal. Passed the goal.

'You can do it, (y/n)!'

Smiling, you started to care less about the lack of wind to cool you down. You cared less about your throat that was screaming for water. You only cared about the person holding up the sign.

Suddenly, and echo of cheers erupted from around you, threatening to burst your eardrums.

You came to a stop and looked around.

You had been so focused on the sign, you hadn't realized that you had passed the goal.

You had won the race.

"Congratulations, (y/n)!" And announcer shouted a bit too loud.

You smiled as you were congratulated. After an hour of nerve destroying interviews with the press and blinding flash from the cameras, you gasped in shock as you were held from behind and lifted into the air.

"You did it, (y/n)! I knew you could!" Bruce exclaimed. You smiled and giggled as he spun you around.

After he put you down, you felt a hot blush spread across your cheeks,

"I won because of you, Bruce-y."

He looked at you with confusion, mainly because of the random nickname that had suddenly appeared.

"When I saw your sign, I started running faster." You pushed your sweaty and wet hair away from your face.

His smile went from confused and supportive, to wider than anything you had ever seen before.

He embraced you once more,

"I'm glad, (y/n)."

You giggled nervously, you hadn't really meant to tell him that, but he accepted it happily.

You were tired, happy, and a whole lot of other mixed emotions. But at least you had Bruces' support.
