PERFECTION
You were both running to get to Allison, his arm was around your waist, the other arm stretched toward the cornered woman.
“Thanks,” she heaved once the three of you made it to the upstairs.
“No problem,” Five said.
And then you saw her. She was a taller woman with electric black hair and green eyes.
He told you guys to go, that he’d handle the woman. While Allison ran, you lingered, hiding behind the wall, watching.
He hit her over the head and she let out a groan of pain. Good. He could handle anything, your boyfriend. You had no doubt he’d be able to handle this easily; after all, he was probably the quickest thinker out of everyone. He could do anything and everything and that was only one reason you were irretrievably, desperately in love with the man.
And then came the spit, along with a hiss bubbling from the woman’s mouth. Jayme, you think her name was. Jayme. It sounded about right.
You wrinkled your nose, much like Five who began to berate her. “Agh! Hey, gross, alright?”
But before he could continue the usual lecture about sanitation, his face went glassy. Sweat built up on his forehead, and he began to walk around almost aimlessly.
“What the hell?” you heard him whisper. His eyes were directed toward the stairs, as were Jayme’s.
You ran out, looking at him, but didn’t touch him. Disturbing people when they’re in a trance could end dangerously, you heard.
“What did you do to him?” you whispered, but she heard it and only smiled. It wasn’t one of those soft smiles; it was something similar to Five’s smile when he was irked. It was crooked, fake.
“I’m only showing him what he wants, kid.”
“Dolores?” Five whispered. You could feel your heart shatter.
The mannequin; that mannequin that sat with the both of you through the darkest nights of the apocalypse. She was there through everything; he always seemed to choose her over you. Even after you two were together. Dolores this; Dolores that; “Dolores would look good in this, wouldn’t she?”; “Dolores, you’re perfect”; “Dolores, I love you”.
You thought it was over. You thought he was over the stupid mannequin; you thought he loved you, only you. You thought that you two were meant for one another, the stupid soulmate shit everyone preached. But, you could see now, you clung on too tightly to the dreams a little girl would have.
You could see him break out into a smile, a genuine one. “Dolores.”
And then came the italian.
“Really? Italian? Holy shit. Do you think I could get out of this without fighting you?” you asked Jayme. She raised an eyebrow at you before quickly turning to Five. “I’m way to tired for-”
He began to make out with thin air.
Well, fuck.
“Okay, I’m just going to go,” you said, holding back the tears that threatened to spill.
You only just turned your back when you heard Five tumble down the stairs.
~*~
“Just gonna sit. I’m just gonna sit for a minute,” Luther groaned.
Your bones were cracking. You could practically collapse right there, plopping down on the top of the bench, lying there, mimicking Klaus on the table next to yours.
“Oh, I’m cracking,” Klaus said, a grit to his voice. You could second that.
“You all good, Klaus?”
“Fine, (Y/N/N), you?”
“Could be better.”
Five climbed on top of the table, sitting on the edge and placing your head gently in his lap. He began to run his fingers through your hair, his rhythm was constant. His love wasn’t. He grazed a cut and you hissed.
“That’s one hell of a cut, Sweetheart,” he mused quietly. You used that as an excuse to get out of his lap.
“I’m fine.”
You could see him flinch- just barely, not enough to catch if you weren’t paying close attention- at the slight harshness in your tone.
Good.
~*~
“CHET! Mon frère! I’d like my usual suite, por favor!” Klaus announced excitedly to the man at the front desk. He was older, his wrinkles prominent, but his hair still maintaining a blondish color that grasped onto hints of youth.
“I’ve never seen you before,” Chet deadpanned.
“See? Told you. Discreet.”
“Great job, Klaus,” you giggled; in turn, he wrapped an arm around you and wrestled you into his side.
“Don’t sass me, kiddo. There is such thing as a time out corner, you know.”
The dog’s whimper interrupted the conversation very quickly.
“Please stop scaring my dog,” Chet said.
“We need some rooms, please.”
“Super.” Chet pulled out a sign with the words only a nightmare could hold. “And how will we be paying today?”
Well shit.
“Fine,” Luther said. “Empty your pockets. Come on; something.”
You dug around in your pockets, finding a dagger and an extinguished cigarette.
“(Y/N)! Come on, really?” Five scolded.
“As if you haven’t had a cigar before.”
“Condoms?” Luther asked.
“I think you can exchange those for cash,” Klaus replied, causing you to giggle.
“Come on, you two, put the knives away!”
Luther looked around. “Oh, all right,” he sighed, removing his watch. Klaus marveled at it as he handed it to Chet. Examining it, Chet grabbed three room keys.
“Well, let’s Brady Bunch this bitch.”
~*~
Only one room had one bed, so you and Five were assigned to that one.
“Let’s unpack. Settle in.”
“And what do we have to unpack?” you questioned, eyebrow cocked.
“Yes, Darling, isn’t that liberating?”
“Fair enough.”
“Alright then,” Five said. “Let’s fix you up.”
“What do you mean?” you asked.
You didn’t want him touching you anymore. You didn’t want him lying to you anymore.
“You know what I mean.”
“Fine. I’ll get Allison in here-”
“Why Allison?” he asked, eyebrows furling. You could see the hurt flash in his eyes. Your heart broke and soared at the same time.
“You know why, Five. I saw everything.”
“Everything? I don’t get it.” He approached you, reaching out. You pulled back. He took another step forward. This kept going until your back hit the wall. He quickly brought his arm up, trapping you there. “I don’t understand. Why can’t I take- what did you see?”
You laughed, but stared at his arm. He was serious.
His other hand made its way to your hairline, brushing it softly. “I don’t understand.”
You recoiled, causing him to flinch once more.
“Sweetheart, we’re done. It’s all over; no more apocalypse, no more nothing. This is it! We can be happy- just… tell me what happened. I’ll fix it. I swear I will. I can’t afford to lose you after everything. I’ll fix everything, I promise, just please tell me what-”
“I saw you making out with thin air.”
“After what Jayme did? I thought I told you to run-”
“I hung back to make sure there wasn’t any funny business.” His arm loosened and you made your exit, walking toward the door. He didn’t jump toward you. He didn’t do anything. He just looked. “Turns out, there was some funny business. You’re still hung up on Dolores.”
“No,” he whispered. “No, (Y/N), I swear to God, I-”
“I heard everything, Five. So, we’re hanging out here for the next few days and then I’m out. I’m sorry. I can’t do this anymore.”
“(Y/N), I love you. Not Dolores, you.”
“I have come second to her after years, Five. Years I have waited for you to come around, and when you finally did, I was stupid enough to believe it was true. I was foolish enough to believe you could actually love me, that someone would actually love me. But, of course, I should’ve known: you can’t get over something so perfect that quickly.”
“You are perfection,” he whispered, tears in his eyes. “You-”
“No, Five. You can’t- I know what I saw. I know what you want, and that’s not me. Now, if you excuse me, Allison will only be available for so long. I’m going to need this cut fixed.”
You walked out the door with tears blurring your vision.

i know we're trying to get the aspec tags trending by valentines day so im gonna name some characters thatre aspec bc im aspec and i said so!
sherlock holmes (sherlock, bbc) - asexual, demiromantic.
he literally only has sex with one person ever and its for a case.
ppl come onto him and he doesnt even know???
he literally doesnt understand the difference between a date and hanging out with your friends. the difference being that a date might end in sex. he never thinks about sex so he doesnt see the correlation
morpheus (the sandman) - demisexual, biromantic
in canon hes only ever had kids/had sex with people he had to go through actual emotional turmoil to get to
also like aro-spec probs demiromantic bc it takes him several centuries to realise he likes hob (centennial husbands is cannon idc)
man is obviously a hopeless romantic which is why the existence of any of his exes plummets him into misery, which means hed see sex as an act of romance not lust. demisexual. bc i said so.
johnny c (johnny the homicidal maniac) - asexual, greyromantic
this man feels vague romantic attraction once in his whole source material and is so befuddled he tries to murder the bitch, ruining any chance he had with her because he made her agoraphobic
he HATES bodily fluids. sex repulsed. he doesnt wanna see ur jizz.
bro has no time for sex. bros gotta feed a wall.
five hargreeves (the umbrella academy) - asexual, aromantic
blud dated a mannequin. he does not understand relationships. because he doesnt want one!
dolores was simply a projection of the fact that romance is supposed to make you feel whole or whatever and he went crazy while living alone in the apocalypse
and hes so fucking autistic so he got really attached to the object bc that what the tism does to a man
thats all for now. goodnight tumblr.

Hello 🤗 do you remember when you made a slasher x asexual reader??, how about this time is aromantic
This is my first request on Tumblr and I hope you have a great day 💕
I mean Jason wouldn't care. A friend is a friend.
He would be happy to have someone sticking around long enough not to run away as soon as he appears.
He would try to respect your wishes and not to frighten you.
He would feel like the confession might be important to you, so he will keep it in mind and not do anything that would feel too personal.
However, if he did have a crush on you.
He would find it difficult to communicate and basically run out of the room when you arrive.
"Not into all the lovey-dovey stuff, heh ? Good for you. And good for me too.."
Pennywise hates physical contact and doesn't like making any effort.
Having an aromantic reader by his side would be to have someone willing to stay with him without making things weird.
Besides, him and Penny cannot technically fall in love. So, you wouldn't have to worry about that.
"Nice."
Penny is a being whose love language is TOUCH.
He can't help it and will try to touch you every chance he gets.
See the problem ? He may eventually try to show you his love with words and make things awkward very quickly..
Penny *giggles and wraps his arms around you* : "I LIKE YOU, HUMAN !"
Yeah..Will try his best to keep his distance though. Better stick around his brother at the beginning though..
"Good for you, kiddo. Believe me when I say love is bullsh*t. You're better without it."
Jack has been married and was basically trapped in the marriage.
He knows all about the downsides of love and would be happy to live without the complications.
At this point, his only love is his bottle of whiskey he keeps around.
Jack *offers you a glass* : "Come on. Let's have a toast on being sick of love. Good riddance."
Five : "Believe me, you won't have to worry about me."
The boy is 100% dedicated to Dolores and reserves all his love for his mannequin.
Besides, Five is usually awkward around people he likes. The fact that you are aromantic would make things far easier for him.
He would be able to talk to you without actually holding back, scared of what you may think of him.
Five : "...and this is how Klaus managed to stuck his hand in the cookie jar and it was only hours later that he admitted it to me and asked me to jump back in time to dissuade him. Can you believe it ? Me ? Telling Klaus not to do something ?" *bursts out laughing*
"Aro...Aromantic...Arrow...What a funny name. You know what it makes me think of ? Tarot without the t's. So, congrats kid, you're a whole card game."
J is open-minded.
As long as you don't say that you're a sympathiser of Batman, he's cool with you being whatever.
Besides, J is not very romantic. He would be if he feels it necessary, but would be as happy without it.
He would also offer you a job and wouldn't have to worry about the "matters of the heart" holding you back or stopping you from doing your job. (like Harley)
Now, Michael is going to be thrown off because he believes in romance. He was a happy family man before his sudden shift to a slasher.
It's because he cares about his family and loves that he can't help seeking them out, even though Myers will probably kill them at the end.
If you're in a relationship, he will feel betrayed by the sudden confession.
However, Myers wouldn't.
Myers *waits a few seconds before writing down* : "Alright. Good."
Michael is the heart and Myers is the knife.
But, the knife can be more understanding than the heart on rare occasions.
Besides, it would be another person he wouldn't worry about killing.
Brahms : "..."
Poor boy wouldn't know what to say.
It means no hugging, no hand holding, no sweet kisses ?
You would very sadly not be his type in a more-than-friends relationship, but he would support you nonetheless and be your friend.
But, you would have to expect some exceptions. He would sometimes hug you out of the blue and tell you things that may make you uncomfortable.
But, don't hold it against him.
It would be difficult for him to accept that you cannot have romantic feelings for anyone, but he would eventually get used to it and accept you nonetheless.
Norman : "Hello Aro, I'm Norm."
Norman would make sure to tell you that it doesn't change a thing.
He likes you. He likes you.
That you're aro or not doesn't matter to him, as long as you are a good friend and a hard worker.
He would support you.
Even though, he could sometimes forget.
Norman comes from an era where romance and good manners were almost worshipped.
His mother forced him to become the perfect gentleman, so he may sometimes act lost or confused around you.
But, give him time. He'll eventually figure it out.
Now that I think about it, Freddy might very well be aromantic.
He does have sexual wants, but he doesn't believe in love.
He believes in casual buddy-buddy sex.
Freddy *smirks* : "I mean..I ain't gonna kick you out because of it. Love is complicated. I understand."
Freddy would 100% go on a date with you and wouldn't make it weird. Congrats. You would hit it off pretty quickly.
