A/n: Thank you for the request, sorry it took so long!
Tumblr media
The first time you met Ben Hargreeves was at a store robbery. You were an unfortunate customer at the cash register when the two masked robbers came in and not only demanded to get cash from the register, but forced you and the cashier to the floor. One was holding you and the cashier back, threatening you with his gun while the other got all the cash out of the register and from your purse.
Thankfully Ben walked in right as they went to hit the two of you in the head and two tentacles got the job done, without him breaking a sweat.
“Are you okay?” Ben helped you and the cashier up, the two tentacles still holding the now unconscious robbers.
“I’m gonna call the cops” the cashier walked away on shaky legs.
You on the other hand were too scared to say anything and too shaky to walk. So instead you just nodded. Ben’s hands stayed on your waist to keep you upright, for which you were simultaneously grateful and made you blush like a schoolgirl.
“Are you hurt?” Ben asked again, wanting to make sure that you were alright.
“No” you whispered, your anxiety keeping your voice under wraps.
“What’s your name?”
“I’m… I”m Y/n” you managed to get out.
“Alright, Y/n. We’re gonna wait for the cops and then I’ll take you home, alright?”
“No” you panicked. “No, don’t.”
“Y/n, you can barely walk from the shock, I’m not gonna let you walk home.”
Ben wasn’t sure why he insisted. Or why he actually cared. He didn’t know you, he had no actual emotional attachment to you. So why? What made him care? What was so special about you?
He didn’t know. And he wouldn’t know until the next time you accidentally met.
He was at a bar with Chris and a couple of girls, just drinking and having fun. After taking you home approximately two weeks ago, he did not expect to see you again. Yet you were constantly on his mind. He didn’t know why. Maybe it was the way you would tuck your hair behind your ears. Or maybe just that you were shy and sweet. He didn’t know you that well yet, but he could tell.
So when he noticed you coming into the bar, he was shocked but happy to see you. Not like he would ever admit that… to anyone but especially you.
But he couldn’t help going over to the bar and greeting you.
“Hey” he said simply, making you turn around.
“Hey” you looked down at your hands, instantly feeling self-conscious.
“Good to see you’re okay.”
You just nodded, feeling too anxious to keep up a conversation. Truth is, it wasn’t only Ben, who was thinking about you a lot. You did as well. For some reason, the notoriously always grumpy Ben Hargreeves was nothing but kind to you and you felt compelled to understand why. Even if that was made harder by your anxiety.
“Can I get you anything to drink?” he asked, swearing to himself that this was the last time he would try to talk to you if he couldn’t get an answer out of you.
“I…” you started, mustering up all your courage, “just a coke, thanks.”
“A coke? You came to drink soda at a bar?” he asked, but ordered it for you anyway.
“Well…” you exhaled. “I usually… um… come here to just… to just be somewhere. I don’t like to drink.”
“You do you” he shrugged and handed you your coke. “Well, see you around.”
“Wait” you grabbed his wrist in a sudden burst of confidence. “You… uh… you could stay” you told him. “If you want.”
Ben’s heart fluttered in a weird way he didn’t understand. He looked at where Chris was, but quickly made a decision and sat down next to you.
That night he got to know you a little bit and even convinced you to give him your number. So it was a total success for him. And it was a total success for you too because in a long time he was the first person you could really talk to without being a stuttering, blushing mess.
Your friendship blossomed in a matter of months. Ben started being less bitchy around you and started smiling when he was with you. He learned that you were actually a chatterbox if someone really got to know you. Whenever he had a bad day, you made sure he felt better in no time. You were always excited to hear about his day or week depending on the times he managed to call. You even loved hearing about his siblings even if the thought of meeting them made you incredibly anxious. You also always supported him whenever he needed it. You never said to him to fix it himself or anything.
So was it a surprise that he fell for you? Not really. At first, it was to him, but then he thought it through and he had to admit that it really wasn’t a shock. So, after a while, he gathered all the courage he had and asked you out. And oh boy, was he happy when you accepted!
That’s when he started hanging out at your apartment. He loved being there, especially after getting to know your lazy cat C/n (cat name). He loved the cat and he loved when he would greet him with small licks. After a while, it was obvious to him that the cat loved him just as much as he loved him.
Around the second month of your relationship, Ben took you to meet his family. Of course, you were scared about meeting them, but with Ben by your side, you felt at least a little bit at ease.
“Don’t worry, they’re gonna love you” he promised, looking you in the eye as you stood before the gates.
“Okay” you breathed out, trying to calm your heart. “It’s just-”
“I know” his hand cupped your cheek. “But you have nothing to be scared of. I’m here and I’ll be here through this.”
“Thank you” you held his hand on your cheek.
Ben smiled at you and pressed a gentle and loving kiss to your lips.
“Are you ready?”
You nodded and Ben opened the front door to let you into the Sparrow Academy.
The house was huge, you saw that from only the entrance. You knew that despite everything, Ben and his family lived in great conditions. And if the entrance amazed you, then you didn’t have words for the living area. It was honestly bigger than your apartment.
Ben’s arm was around your waist as you marveled at your surroundings. And it tightened the moment he noticed his siblings looking down at the pair of you from the balcony.
“Nice of you to show up” Fei said sarcastically, which made you look up and practically shrink back into Ben at the sudden attention.
“I was busy” Ben replied.
“I can imagine” Fei was unamused.
“Who’s the pretty lady?” Jayme chimed in.
“She's my girlfriend, dipshit.”
“Jayme, play nice. She’s clearly frightened” Marcus tried to calm his siblings. “Hello. We’re Ben’s siblings. I’m Marcus, the leader. These are Fei, Jayme, Alphonso, and Chris. Sloane hasn’t arrived yet.”
“Hi” you waved shyly. ”I’m Y/n.”
“Nice to meet you” Marcus nodded.
“Yeah, you as well.”
That’s when Grace decided to come in.
“Oh, I wasn’t expecting company. I’ll make cookies!” she turned around immediately, a bright smile on her face.
“That’s Grace. She’s a robot. She cleans and cooks” Ben provided and you nodded.
That afternoon, you got to know Ben’s siblings. At first, you were shy and quiet, but as you grew more comfortable, you started talking more carefree. It was especially nice when along with the cookies, arrived Sloane, who was the nicest person ever.
“Oh, you must be Ben’s girlfriend! I’m Sloane” she greeted you with an enthusiastic hug.
“I’m Y/n” you said after she let you go.
“Sloane” Ben warned.
“Oh, don’t worry! Y/n and I will be great friends” she smiled so big, you were surprised how it didn’t hurt her.
And true to her words, you and Sloane became not only great friends but best friends. She was a bowl of sunshine and it really helped you to ease into this new situation quicker. She was always so supportive and kind, it was really refreshing.
It was a surprise to no one when on your first anniversary, Ben took you out for a nice dinner. You suspected what was gonna happen, but you let it all play out, not wanting to interfere with his plans. You didn’t take Ben as an anxious person and generally speaking, he really wasn’t. But this was a big step for you both.
“Take my hand” Ben requested.
“Why?” you asked, but lifted your hand to place it in his.
“I’m trying to ask you to marry me, so take my damn hand!” he blurted out, his nerves getting the better of him.
“Alright” you chuckled and squeezed his hand.
“Y/n, I know that I’m not the type of person to actively show my love. I’m not normal either. My life and family is a fuck up, a real challenge. But I love you. I love you from the bottom of my heart and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Because you make me a better person. So Y/n L/n, will you marry me?”
Your heart was beating in your ear and you really fucking hoped that this was not a dream. That Ben Hargreeves was really on one knee in front of you, asking you to marry him.
“Yes” you whispered, not trusting your voice.
“Yes? You really will?”
“Of course” you nodded, feeling tears running down your cheek.
Ben jumped up and pulled you in for a hug. A hug so tight it made your heart hurt with realization. This meant so much to Ben. It finally convinced him that there is someone who really loves him and cares about him.
“Thank you” you felt weird thanking him, but honestly, you were thankful.
“What for?” he pulled away slightly.
“For loving me and sticking by my side, even though it was hard at first.”
“I should thank you then. I was an asshole.”
“No” you shook your head. “From day one, you have been so kind to me. I love you.”
“I love you too” he pressed a kiss to your lips, which you reciprocated easily.
And that was something the two of you incorporated into your vows a few months later. With Fei and Sloane as your bridesmaids (Jayme refused to wear a dress, but said that she was honored) and Chris as Ben’s best man (you learned to understand him even though it was challenging at times), you got married to Ben Hargreeves.
And that meant that you and C/n moved into the Sparrow Academy. Your life changed for the better and you had Ben to thank for that. His family became yours and you knew that they’d always be there for you, just as you’d always be there for them.
Honestly, life was great. You had everything you could ever wish for. You had an amazing husband, his family, and your cat. It was usually calm at the mansion and even when it wasn’t, it didn’t cause you any problems. So everything was great. Nothing could bring your mood down, right?
The alarm blasted through the space, summoning the sparrows. They were all dressed in their uniforms, standing on the balcony as you stood beside Ben.
“Dad, who are these assholes?”
Well, maybe your life won’t be so calm now.
[Masterlist]

I've got a sinking feeling - {Five Hargreeves x GN!Reader}
Synopsis: You are very flirty with Five, and he's tricked himself into believing he hates it. He tells you to stop. Then he learns the hard way how much he took you for granted when you meet someone else.
Tumblr media
Note: Five requests would be very appreciated! Thank you to those who sent requests on my last one shot.
(Not Edited)
Warnings: Swearing
Word count: 1.5k
Extra Information: Viisi means Five in Finnish. Five and Y/n were partners in the commission. They look seventeen or eighteen instead of thirteen. This one-shot takes place on the last episode of season one, and the entirety of season two.
----
The Academy, Five's home, has just collapsed--courtesy of Vanya's new powers--and Five ordered his family to meet at Super Star Lanes bowling alley to come up with a new plan of action.
He grabs your wrist, blinking you with him. You're both in front of the bowling alley in a flash of blue.
Five takes a moment to pace around, not entering the building. The crisp, spring air bites at your earlobes as you hug your sides for warmth
"Hey, Viisi, can we go inside?" You look at him with a grimace and a pleading smile. He whips his head in your direction to glare at you, then strolls inside with a roll of his eyes. You follow in his stead.
The interior is heated, thankfully. Five informs the underpaid worker that his "parents" will be arriving shortly to pay for his bowling shoes. He takes a seat adjacent to Lane 6 and you sit next to him.
"So, how was the farewell with Delores? I know you two were close." You lean back in your seat, getting more comfortable while waiting for Five's siblings to arrive.
He does not look at you, his jaw ticks in annoyance.
"Come onnn, I know you're stressed, but this is your sister. I'm sure she's reasonable enough not to end the world." You turn towards him, leaning your elbows on your thighs and admiring his pretty face.
"No, it's not that." He scoffs, looking at you with a sneer.
You notice that his tie is crooked so you reach out to fix it, like you often do. It's sort of your thing.
He smacks your hand away and you raise an eyebrow.
"You okay Viisi?" You rub your hand a little, surprised. Normally, he lets you fix his tie with no problem. Although, he would grumble about it a little.
"God- No. I'm not okay." He puts his hands in his hair, gripping it slightly with an exasperated expression. "And stop calling me that."
"What?" You breathe with a smile of disbelief. "What's going on? Did something happen- Did I do something?" You lean away from him a little to give him more space.
"Stop, just stop it with the touching and the nicknames. I'm sick of it!" He looks at you with cold eyes. This is very unusual of him.
You cock your head to the side, trying to understand. "Five, I thought- I thought that was our thing! Y'know, the friendly banter and-"
"I know you're desperate for some sort of relationship with me, but I'm here to tell you that it's not going to happen. We were only ever co-workers." He says through gritted teeth, avoiding your eyes. "I'm telling you to stop pursuing me." You were never 'pursuing' him.
Usually you would brush this sort of behavior off, ignore it. Tell yourself that it's only because he's stressed. He's always stressed! Thinking back, he was never all that nice to you. Even in your Commission days.
You'd tricked yourself into thinking that maybe he thought you were special, or that you were at least his friend. His confidant.
You look at him with eyes full of hurt, which Five has never seen from you. He almost feels something bubbling up his throat, but the feeling dissipates quickly. "Have I made myself clear?" He says evenly.
You only nod, turning away so he doesn't see the tears prick at your eyes.
Five's siblings come inside and you two don't speak to each other again.
A year and seven months later (for you, at least.)
1963, Dallas Texas:
Five anxiously pulls at his tie after narrowly escaping three armed Swedish men. He had just watched his siblings, along with you, blow up in yet another nuclear explosion. It's left him oddly shaken up about how he treated you back in 2019.
He's pacing down the alley-way between the Commerse and Knox when he notices a flash atop the roof. A large camera of some sort.
A brown haired man closes his window briskly. That's strange.
Five teleports inside, scaling up a flight of stairs with cat-like agility. When he knocks on a door, the one beside him answers, revealing a mouse-y looking man in his early thirties. He looks at him with big, expectant eyes.
"What do you want." His tone is dripping with suspicion.
"Hi, I'm selling encyclopedias for my youth group. I was curious if-" Five gets a door to the face. He huffs, blinking inside after him.
The man, Elliot, jumps, yelping in fear and pulling out a butter-knife from his drawer of kitchen utensils. "H-how did you do that?" He hesitates, astonished.
Five looks at him with amusement. "Don't really have time to explain."
Elliot runs a hand through his unkempt brown hair, gripping the butter-knife in a feeble attempt to protect himself. "You from the Pentagon? Huh?"
"Definitely not."
"CIA? FBI? KGB?"
Five eyes up the kitchen, noticing a coffee pot on the other side of the room. "Is that fresh?" He uses his powers again, blinking himself right in front of the coffee pot.
Elliot screams, whipping his head back and forth between the place Five just was and the place he appeared. "What..." He pants, eyes wide.
"Elliot? You okay?" Five hears a faraway voice from another room. A familiar voice. "Who's with you?" It asks.
You appear from around the corner, presumably from Elliot's bedroom, looking almost two years older.
Five furrows his eyebrows and so do you. He breathes out your name is what you almost register as relief. But, you know better then to think that.
"Oh, Five. You're back." You say casually, nodding and crossing your arms. Five sets the coffee down, unwillingly noticing how you didn't call him by his nickname.
"How long have you been here?" He walks towards you, looking at your slightly different features. You changed your hair, he observes. He says nothing about it.
"A year and a half, I believe." You tap your chin in thought. Elliot glances between you two with interest or surprise.
"You two know each-other?" He puts the butter-knife back onto the counter with a small clatter.
You nod, shrugging. "We were co-workers." You send Elliot a reassuring, genuine smile.
Co-workers. Five doesn't like how the word rolled off your tongue.
He licks his lips, looking away. "You live here?" He asks you, though it was a silly question considering its obvious answer.
You nod with tight lipped smile, approaching Elliot. You fix his hair with your fingers and flip the collar of his flannel back down. "Did he scare you? I told you he could be a bit much."
Elliot exhales a shaky laugh at your words and actions as Five begins to feel a hot, frothy feeling in the pit of his stomach. He changes the subject. "Are my siblings here too?"
Elliot answers for you, looking back towards the teen again. "The other six anomalys- The power surges." He begins to look excited at this new discovery. "They're your siblings?"
Five ticks his jaw, ignoring him. "So they're alive..." He begins to pace around. "I think I stranded them here. Now listen to me..."
"Elliot." You tell him his name.
"Whatever, alright? I got ten days to find them and save the world." He points to you and Elliot. "Now, I need your help to do that."
Elliot is just so happy to be involved, his three year long project finally achieving some major development. He scrambles to find a certain newspaper scrap from his desk drawer. "You know what? I, uh..." He fumbles with it, handing it to Five.
"I always thought that this, uh, mugshot looked like arrival number four."
"Diego." Five reads softly, then he twists around to face you. "You're coming with me." He states.
You hiss awkwardly through your teeth, avoiding his eyes. "Ohh, about that... Actually, Elliot and I were about to play scrabble."
Five narrows his eyes at you, barking your name. "The world is ending and you're just gonna play scrabble with this homebody?"
Elliot looks at his dusty wooden floors with a look of dejection.
"Uh, yeah. That's exactly what I'm gonna do." You lean against the door-frame with a bored expression. "I thought you wanted me to stop following you around like a lost puppy."
Five feels strange. "You know what? I don't need this." He blinks away to search for Diego.
When Five returns from the strip club, after a failed attempt of recruiting both Luther and Diego, he decides to test something. His fingers reach for his tie, pulling at it and skewing it. Perfectly crooked.
You couldn't resist fixing his tie, he knew this.
So why didn't you? He finds himself uncharacteristically frustrated about unresponsiveness.
As he demands that Elliot develop his Frankel Footage, his eyes trail to you occasionally, silently tempting you to straighten his tie.
Your eyes flicked to it once. However, you made no move to adjust it.
Five heaves a dramatic sigh, angrily fixes it, and leaves to look for Vanya.
He messed up before, he realizes. He feels like shit.

Five hargreeves x reader
Better
He sat sipping on his hot cappuccino sitting on his table outside the cafe, it was still far from lunch break for employees and he was enjoying the emptiness of the place.
"Hello stranger" Ah it seems like like the quietness has gone all of a sudden, he looks up through his sunglasses and smirks lazily at you.
"You’re late" he says.
You tilted your head "And you changed…how long has it been?" You sat down across from him.
"Three years" He sipped on his cup "I didn’t know what you’ll like so I didn’t order anything for you"
"Three years ha? You’re taller now…also I like the new hairstyle, suits you more than the side bang" you chuckled. He sighed and looked at you, really looked at you.
"I would be lying if I said I haven’t missed your awful teasing" He says cooly.
"You also ditched ditched the shorts for good it seems I thought you were loyal to those things and the long pants were just a bit phase"
Five clicked his tongue "Don’t tempt me I still have a pair stocked away"
"No! The horror of skinny exposed knees!"
"Shut up"
"Love you too"
Eventually you two ordered lunch, the place buzzed with life shortly after, you couldn’t help but admires the changes, if someone had told you this is how he’ll look in a few years you would’ve laughed in their face.
Five, your only five now not dressed as some retired middle age man nor in a school uniform, but now in a nice tailored vest with longer hair that actually looked stylish and not annoyingly gelled.
"Liking the view?" He said in a sarcastic tone.
"Maybe…maybe I want to see what else has changed while I was gone" You smirked playfully resting your cheek on the middle of your palm.
He rubs his tongue around his mouth then pushes his plate away and leans closer on the table "Wouldn’t you like to know?"
"Would you like to show me Mr hargreeves?" You bit your lip leaning closer to him.
Five licked his from upper teeth then leaned back on his chair before grabbing his beverage and chugging it in one go "I haven’t seen you in three years and the first thing you want to do is ruin my look? How classical of you"
You shrugged "can’t blame me can you?"
He sighed before reaching his hand to yours "I missed you" he says bringing your knuckles to his lips "I missed us, I missed seeing your face, hearing your voice and being with you everyday" your heart raced with longing, it was the same for you, you’ve missed him so much but this was a new life, he needed his freedom before going back to you.
"Do you think we can still be the same?" You asked with desperation in your tone.
Five shook "not the same as before but better, better than we can ever imagine…it’s weird saying this after being this old"
"It’s ok old man, I still love you"
"Does that mean I’m given permission to take you back home?"
"Absolutely, but I want dessert first"
"You and your priorities"

Flustered | F. Hargreeves
Tumblr media
pairing: five hargreeves x fem!reader
wc: 903
warnings: sexual innuendo?
synopsis: ever since five retried, he’s been a lot more affectionate with you
requests: CLOSED
prompts: 043: “Your hands are really soft.” 054: “They have everyone.” “Not you.” “I’m the exception.” 067: “Nice hickey. Where’d you get it?”
“Hi, Luther, Klaus, Diego!” You greet happily. Five doesn’t bother and just pulls out his chair.
“What’s wrong?” Later said through a mouthful of Chinese takeout. “You look happy.”
You come up next to Five, and he pulls a chair out for you, making your cheeks heat up at the small action. “Why can’t he be happy?”
“Well, he’s Five. Always so… bitter.”
You shrug. “They hate everyone.”
“Not you.”
“I’m the exception.”
“I am plenty happy,” Five spoke, taking a seat. “Had a nap and shvitz, what does a man need?”
“Brother’s who don’t eat like barn animals?” Klaus suggests.
Both Diego and Luther look to Klaus, mouths full of noodles, proving his point.
You sit down, smiling at the three brothers. You're dressed in the same thing as Five, a soft bathrobe that says “Hotel Obsidian.”
Klaus grins at you, and you raise a brow. “Nice hickey. Where’d you get it?”
“What?” You practically scream, pulling back the collar of your bathrobe.
Diego snickers, “Seems like Five got a little more than a Shvitz.”
Luther nods. “Yeah, (Y/N) looks like she’s gonna die of embarrassment.”
Klaus claps. “Oh my god, I’m so happy for you two! How was it?”
Five blinked at his brother. “It’s none of your business.”
“Oh, why not? We’re bros!”
Five sighs, looking at you, then back to Klaus. “It was… nice.” You basically die in your seat at his choice of wording. He notices and chuckles, grabbing your hand in his. The three brothers whistle, and you shrink further into your seat.
“Your hands are really soft,” He whispers in your ear.
“Five!” You whine, feeling like you might explode at all the attention and affection. You and Five mostly kept your relationship on the down-low, seeming it was the most concerning issue the past month.
“So I’ve been thinking through our little timeline snafu, and I’m pleased to report that in my professional, expert opinion: we are totally in the clear.”
“Awesome!”
“Huh.”
“Great! So everything’s totally fine?” Luther asked.
“More or less. I mean,” Five hesitates, smiling. “There is one small thing. But it’s nothing we can’t manage.”
Five hands you one of the carry-out boxes, “Choi mein, your favorite.” And you smile softly, mumbling a thanks to him. He just smiles back, “Anytime.” And your stomach flips when he presses a soft kiss to your cheek. You actually think you might die this time.
“So, spit it out, boomer!” Diego mumbles through his noodles.
“Fine, Diego, it’s like this. Dad didn’t adopt us as babies, but those babies still existed here,” Five explained as you take a bite of your own meal.
Klaus frowns. “Awww.”
“We just grew up in different places with different people.”
“So?” Diego questions.
“So where are they now? Odds are we each have identical versions of ourselves walking around out there living completely different lives.”
Luter gasps excitedly. “Our doppelgängers!”
“That’s a made-up word,” Klaus dismisses.
“No, no, I learned all about this in Texas. Tell them about the paranoid psychosis, Five!”
“It’s paradox,” You correct.
“Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, I thought you said this wasn’t a problem?”
“Okay, yes,” Five admits. “Technically, if you’re near your Doppel for too long, you’ll go insane. So if you ever see your other self—”
“Kill them.”
“Sleep with them.”
“… avoid them."
“What the hell is wrong with you?” Luther asked, giving both his brothers a skeptical look.
“Oh, come on, as if you wouldn’t climb Luther mountain,” Klaus teases. The look on Luther’s face tells you enough about what he’s thinking.
“Wait, how are we supposed to guarantee we don’t cross paths with ourselves?”
“Easy. I mean, we’re the Benetton of superheroes, born all around the world until dad brought us here, which he no longer did. Doppel’s probably aren’t even in the same time zone as us.”
“That’s true,” Luther mumbles.
Diego nods. “Yeah.”
“Would you pass the moo shu?” Five asked, reaching across the table, and Luther does so. Suddenly, Diego leaves in a rush, and you shrug it off.
“So how long have you two been…” Klaus trails off, wiggling his eyebrows.
“Gross, Klaus,” Five said, before adding. “We’ve been together for a while now.”
“Oh, wow,” Klaus sighs. “That’s so cute. I mean, (Y/N) is so sweet, and you’re so… you!”
You giggle at that, and Five rolls his eyes, “Thanks, Klaus.” Five grabs his takeout and a pair of chopsticks before taking your hand and helping you off your seat.
“You didn’t have to do that, Five,” You mumble, tucking a piece of hair behind your ear.
“I know, darling, but I wanted to,” He replies, and you swear you’re gonna pass out.
Five must notice because he waves his brothers goodbye and leads you back to the hotel room. His hand intertwines with yours, and your face is even hotter now.
“You’re easily flustered, darling,” Five said, opening the door to his room.
“You’re not usually so forward, that’s all,” You shrug.
“Well, I’m retired, so I get to spend the rest of my life loving you.”
You hide your face in your hands at his comment. “Five!”
He chuckles, peeling your hands away carefully. “There you are, pretty girl.” Five cups your face in his hands, pressing a tender kiss to your lips that has you internally screaming.
“The rest of our lives is just gonna be this,” He promises.
“Really?”
“Really.”

Hi! I absolutely love the masterpiece you just dropped! Consider me a new big fan!!! Also I was wondering if your requests are open? If so I would love to see your take on Five x reader where reader wouldn’t hurt a fly and means the world to him but one day gets kidnapped cause she knows five (or you can make the reason up) and Five goes crazy panicking/ crying about where you are and won’t listen to his family etc. Obviously you don’t have to do the request if you don’t want to 💜
Innocent
Five Hargreeves x reader
Warnings:
- cuss words
Tumblr media
When they first recruited Five on the commission, he always believed he would never like it here. That is until you came along. He first met you as someone that was first intimidated by anything. He will talk to you, you’ll be startled quickly. He will try to start a conversation, you will yelp in surprise. It’ll be the little things that will get you. Mostly because Five is an intimidating man; but getting to know him more since the handler made you his personal secretary, you had to know how he was and acted.
It took a whole 6 months for you to understand Five and get used to how he was and act. It took only 1 year for you to fall in love with him. It took him 1 year to get used to you getting comfortable with him but 6 months for him to fall in love with you. He trusted you with stuff that he only trusted Dolores. He let you know about the apocalypse, he told you his deepest darkest secrets. At first it was scary, but one look in his eyes and you knew he had to do it to survive. When he first let everything out, you gave him a hug.
A hug.
A hug he so badly needed after all those years being isolated in the apocalypse.
At first he went rigid.
His body froze.
But when he felt you not letting go at all on the hug he decided to hug back; he needed this and he knew deep down, whether Dolores was there when he hugged her, she never hugged back. So feeling finally hands around him not going to kill him but to give him affection; it slipped his mind. Five zones back to the present and unlock the door that he was standing in front of for a while. He opened his apartment house and the smell of food welcomed him in. He looked around and saw your shoes on the side where he would normally see them and your cat Shadow trotting to him and rubbing his head on his leg for pets. Five smiled and bent down and carefully held him and walked towards the kitchen. He peeked his head, knowing that you hate when Shadow is around the kitchen. 
“Fives your home! How was work miele?”
You asked when you saw him in the corner of your eyes, while you were cooking the spaghetti. He chuckled and let Shadow down by the door so he wouldn't enter the kitchen. He walked to you and gave you a sweet kiss on the cheek and layed his head on your back while hugging you. You playfully rolled your eyes but let him be. Once you finished you put the food on two plates and served a bit of cat kibble for Shadow. Five helped you witht he food while you put the needy kitten’s food down on the floor for him to eat with you and Five. Five grabbed your hand and sat you down on your seat, he scooted your chair for you and you sent him a loving smile. 
“Thank you my love, now let’s eat.”
You lightly told him while starting to twirl your food. He knew this night would end like any other night; and he wouldn’t change it for the world. He was grateful for having you in his life. He thanked you for understanding in your own way how he coped in the beginning, he was also thankful for taking care of him when his nightmares will get the most out of him. He was deep in love with you and nothing will ever change that.
*******
When five took you with him to save his family you were a little scared. Not at them but at what they might say about you and what they will think of you. He did let you know about them, told you stories and the crazy things his siblings will come up with just to try to live like a normal child. Landing on the hard ground outside was not what you expected, not going to lie. When you looked at your husband, instead of looking at your 38 year old husband, you were now dead staring at what looked like your 20 year old husband. You scrambled back a bit, hoping this was just a dream. Your husband stood up and looked at you and then at himself since one of his brothers made a comment about your now younger husband. He walked towards you and held out his hand and let out his loving smile. You looked at his honey kissed eyes and slowly let out your hand towards him. He pulled you up and grabbed your hand tightly, knowing everything at the moment was overwhelming.
Five walked inside the house, you both ended in the kitchen. Five led you to a chair and sat you down carefully while he started walking around getting what you believe something to eat. He started grabbing bread then went to the fridge to get the peanut butter. You wanted to ask what he was making, but decided not to comment seeing as you were still surrounded by his siblings. One of his brothers; who you guessed was Luther since Five gave you a recap before heading back; started asking your husband question after question. As the two were discussing you looked at every sibling; you guessed Luther, so the one next to him strapped with knives had to be Diego. The one sitting close to you on the table had to be the talking ghost one, which was Klaus, the one with blonde tips looked like Allison and the last timid girl had to be Vanya. 
You knew Vanya, Klaus and Ben were Five’s siblings that he was able to socialize with. Knowing Five if he liked them, that means you’ll also get along with them. You didn’t notice you zoned out the whole conversation, Five walked away from the kitchen leaving you alone with his family.
“So who are you?”
Luther asked you, it felt more like he was interrogating you, if you were being honest. You gulped and fiddled with your rings that seem to fit a little loose now.
“I’m Y/N Hargreeves, nice to meet you all, Five talked about all of you guys.”
You said sincerely, because it was the truth; Five could look like a tough and cold person, but inside all of that was just a young man that missed his family and wanted them to be safe. He sacrificed so much just to see them alive. His siblings looked at you confused. Oh right, you doubt Five ever told them you both were married. 
“I’m Five’s wife.”
Those were the only words you told them. There eyes widen and all had different expressions. Who wouldn’t, knowing your brother disappear one day and the next he comes with a wife would also shock any other person. Five did ended coing back and grabbing your hand and pulled you slowly so you can get up.
“Come on hun, lets go change.” 
You nodded your head and waved to your now siblings in law. Five took you to his room and closed the door and leaned on it once you were inside and sitting on his bed. You didn’t know if he was upset because you told his siblings about your relationship. You wanted to ask, but were scared of the answer he will give you. You heard him sigh and turn to you. He gave you a weak smile and slowly walked towards you and bent down just a bit to reach you. He grabbed your chin with enough force to not hurt you, but to make you stare at him in his striking chartreuse eyes. He leaned down towards you, lips ghosting your own lips. You shakingly let out a soft breath and that's what made him snap and give you a passionate kiss. A kiss showing so much love and adoration, so much lust and need. All at the same time.
It was what you both needed. You wanted more, but you knew that right now was not the time for all this. You slowly leaned back not wanting to break away but needing to. You gulped and shakingly kept looking at his now dark bottle green eyes.
“Five my love, we have a job to do, remember?”
You quietly told him, not wanting to break the quietness. He leaned back a bit and nodded his head, knowing you were right. He slowly exhaled and looked at you, your plump pink lips and hazy eyes, your daze looking face. Five knew he was fucked when you had that look. 
“Come- come on we… we uhh have a funeral to go to.” 
He stuttered and you knew why.
*****
When Five told you to go back with Klaus and Luther and vote for him about his mom; you had this horrible gut feeling you were feeling. You didn’t know why but you felt like something was going to happen. You knew you should have told Five; but you decided against it. You sat next to Klaus, he decided that you were his second favorite person and gratefully shared his chips that he ‘totally’ didn’t steal from the store 10 minutes ago. You thank him for the snack and listen in on the conversation.
“I mean, do you really think Mom would hurt Dad?”
Vanya quietly told everyone. In your mind she did have a point. Their robotic mother didn’t look like she could kill anyone, but then again you have never interacted with the mother.
“You haven't been home in a long time, Vanya.”
Diego said harshly to Vanya. You were about to intervine to defend one of your sister-in laws when Luther was the one that interrupted.
“If he was poisoned, it would have shown in the coroner's report.” 
Luther said while pointing at the old television that was showing the robotic mother giving your father-in-law tea and then waiting for him to drink for her to take the cup away from him. Right when he does drink he starts choking and shaking. You didnt know if you should say something at this point. You did zone out the family until they said your husband’s name.
“What? Five's not here.”
You looked at the siblings since technically you were going to be Five’s vote. This time you did speak up because if you didn’t you knew the family won’t ever let you say something.
“Um… actually Fives told me to vote for him?”
You questioned more than asked. The siblings looked at you, forgetting you were there for a minute. They all looked at each other and three of them agreed to what you said, but the other two didn’t. You didn’t know why Five really thought this was a good idea. You didn’t see the point in being here if they didn’t want your opinion at all or what you thought.
“Sorry, but you don’t count for Five at all.”
Luther told you agressively. Your eyes slightly widened and you gulped; you slowly nodded your head and muttered a small ‘okay’ and just decided to stand up and walk away. You shakily sighed and repeated the same mantra in your head. ‘It’s okay, it’s fine.’ You don’t know what else you could of done. You’re trying to get to know and get along with all the siblings but it feels like nothing is working at all. You walked to Fives room and gently closed the door. You had your back to the door and you slowly leaned on it and slowly lowered yourself to the ground. You grabbed your knees and just layed your head on them while waiting for Five to at least come back. You must of dooze off because the next thing you hear is gunshots.
You jump startled and get out of the room looking for the siblings. Even though you knew they probably didn’t see you as family, they were to you. You slowly walked to where you heard the gunshots and looked around to see if you could spot any of the siblings. You noticed Klaus walking around, more like dancing in just a towel and some headphones. You were just about to tap his shoulder when everything went dark.
************
You woke up in pain. You hissed feeling like your head was pounding louder and louder. You tried to hold your head, but something was holding you back. You fluttered your eyes and tried to make them adjust to the lightning of the room you were being captive. You heard groans of pain and looked next to you. There Klaus was being tortured by Hazel and Cha-Cha. At the moment they were choking him, but it looked to you like he was enjoying it. ‘Please Klaus I hope you say nothing about Five’ you thought.
******* Five’s point of view *********
I got out of the van seeing as Lance was walking his dog gave me a good opportunity to maybe get the actual information out of him. I did miss Y/N though, maybe sending her to the academy was a bad idea. I shook my head knowing she probably was better over there knowing my siblings were at least capable of taking care of her, well I hope they were. I spatial jumped to the car and put a knife at Lance’s neck. After threathing himinto giving me the information for the eye he finally starts taking me to the lab. Walking to the lab with Lance,I started to smell smoke. Running to the lab knowing I might not have a chance to see the results. I made it to the lab and was about to run inside it when it exploded. 
I fell back and landed hard on the ground. I groaned and looked at the lab that just exploded. Fucking hell now what teh hell am I going to do. I got up and walked back to the van and grabbed the liquor bottles I stole and walked to a library. I walked to the third floor and sat down by some pillars and started working on anything I could do to stop this stupid apocalypse.
********
****Y/N’s point of view****
“Remember section 76, sub A, of the training manual?”
You heard Cha-Cha ask Hazel once you woke up from when they knocked you out unconscious again. 
“I barely remember what we had for breakfast at this point.”
He replied back to her. You sighed.
“To paraphrase, torturing works best when you know who you’re torturing.”
You froze, they were either going to torture, you to know where your husband was or they were going to torture Klaus for the information. Hazel and Cha-Cha walked infront of both of you guys and looked at each other and then you. You started to slowly panic, scared of what they could do to you.
“Let’s begin with the wife.”
You let out an ear-splitting scream, as they started electricuting you.
*****
**** third point of view****
While Y/N was being tortured, Five was being taken by Luther and Diego. They were both walking to Diego’s place since it was closer and no one would look for Five there. Once getting to Diego’s place they both started thinking of Y/N. When they went to Five’s room to let Y/N know that they were going to look for Five, you were gone. They both panic knowing that if Five ever found out Y/N wasn’t with them at all he will kill them. They layed Five on the bed and thougth about how to find you; until Al let Diego Know that they found his brother and his sister in law. 
**** second POV****
When you and Klaus finally escaped, you both kind of went your own way, mostly because you were too dizzy and kept limping and stumbling. Diego later found you and helped you to his house. Five and Luther didn’t know that Diego found you. They told Five about you and he went hysterical. He wanted to be strong in front of Luther; but it was you. You are his wife, his life long best friend. He let out tears of pain and worry. When you both made it to Diego’s house; Five was the first to see you and jumped to you. He cried on your shoulder.
“I’m sorry, I'm sorry. I shouldn’t have left you, I shouldn’t have told you to go back to the house. Miele I'm sorry I love you so much. This won't ever happen again I promise.”
Five whimpered to your ear. He was in so much guilt. He knew he would never let this happen to you.

50 days of learning love/Part 10
Pairing: Five Hargreeves x reader
Summary: This is the end of this short tale. The only thing left is to say goodbye and show how to love.
Warnings: angst and swearing, yk the usual
Word count: 7.6k
A/n: Despite everything, I’m still here. I hope you enjoyed the story as much as I did. It was sure as hell a long and hard journey. It’s been nice to write this tale, but this is the ending. We have bigger things to do, other stories to be written. So thank you!
Tumblr media
Five felt his powers come back. He knew that that could only mean one thing.
“Tomorrow” he said.
“What tomorrow?”
“I feel stronger. And I know that my powers are back. So I’m going. Tomorrow.”
You stayed silent, the news hitting you hard. You knew it could be any minute now that he had to go, but you didn’t think it would be so soon. Your heart ached at the news and you kind of just wanted to tell him to stay. But you couldn’t and the rational part of your brain argued with the emotional part.
“Y/n, please say something” Five begged, his hands grabbing onto yours, trying to get you to open up. “Please, baby.”
“I don’t want you to go” you wanted to say. But you knew you couldn’t. You knew he was waiting for that moment, so he could really throw this opportunity from him and stay with you. But really, that’s what you wanted. You wanted him to be there with you. It’s been so good with him. You fell in love with him. He was the love of your life. You could never love anyone else. And you didn’t want to lose him.
“Alright,” you said instead, your voice breaking.
“Y/n… Say the word and I’ll stay. Please. For you I would do anything” he pleaded, his voice barely coming out and tears started streaming down his face.
“Five” you sniffled and pulled his hands into your lap. “It’s okay. I’ll wait for you until you’re ready to come back.”
“Y/n…”
And that was it. The both of you just sat, crying. Five’s head resting on your thighs, his whole body shaking as your hands moved through his hair, the only sound coming from you were the sniffles you couldn’t keep at bay. Your hearts broke at the pain of departure. You knew it was going to be hard, but you also knew that the next day would be worse. You weren’t sure your heart could take all the pain you were going to experience in the next 24 to 34 hours.
But you had to be strong. For Five. You had to make sure he would go back to his family. That he would save the world and at the end of all of it, he would feel happy. With his decision, with everything that he has done, and with the time leading up to it. You wanted him to remember back to these forty-six days and fill him with happiness. You wanted him to remember you and the amount of love you had for him.
“Five” you sniffled, gently lifting his head. “Look. I love you, okay? You have to remember that. I love you so so much. And I want you to remember all that we did here, okay? All the time we spent together. I need you to remember. You are the most amazing human being ever. You are capable of so many things. I want you to remember everything I told you. Please.”
“I don’t want to leave you” he whispered, not trusting his voice.
“It’s not a goodbye” you promised. “It’s a see you later.”
“I love you” he whispered, clinging to you.
“I love you too” you held him close, savoring the moment.
Life was going to be harder when he traveled back home. But only for a little while. Because you knew he would be back. And you would be patiently waiting for that moment, keeping the memory of your time together in your heart.
Getting through the day was harder than you thought. You mostly cuddled on the mattress, holding Five close to you. You only got up to make lunch and dinner, otherwise, you let your body relax.
At night you read to Five, trying to fit some degree of normality back into your day. The impending separation was still heavy on your minds and hearts, but Five appreciated you trying to help.
You also thought about all the things you needed to do the next day in preparation of Five’s departure. You had to get his cleaner clothes out from the protection of his trunk and you had to make him as clean as he could be. You also had to find something you could shave him with, his facial hair growing to an almost full beard. And while neither of you minded, you knew that it will be enough shock for his family to see him as an eighteen-year-old boy, they didn’t need to see his wild facial hair as well.
“Y/n” Five’s gentle voice brought you back to the real world. “I want you to know that… that I will always love you. That even if I can’t get back to you, I will never forget you.”
“Don’t say that…” you breathed out, hoping to keep the tears at bay. “I believe in you. You will get back to me. You will do it, because you can.”
“But what if I can’t?” he asked, his voice breaking again. “How do you know I am capable of it? What if it takes years or maybe decades?”
“Hey hey hey” you cupped his face in your hands. “No what ifs, okay? You will, baby. I know you will. I believe in you.”
“I wish I could take you with me.”
“As do I, my love. But it’s not my time yet. We will be back together soon, I promise you.”
Five captured your lips with his, not knowing what to do or how to answer. He just wanted you to know how much he loved you. He wanted to show you.
And that’s what he did.
And so went the forty-sixth day and night.
Tumblr media
You knew this day was going to be hard. Five knew it too. He was already dreading the moment. But for now, you were helping him clean up. And he was grateful for that. He was going to miss your soft hands on his body. Your fingers running through his hair. Your palms cupping his face as you gently shaved his face. Your arms around his waist as you held him to just admire him. He was going to miss you.
And you were going to miss him. His soft hair, his handsome face. His calloused hands as they caressed your cheeks. His beautiful eyes that were filled with so much love. His fingers that fit so amazingly around yours. And his heart, that was so full of love for you and his family.
“Thank you” he mumbled as you finished helping him get dressed.
“Anytime, my love” you smiled gently.
“Do you want help with anything?”
“No” you shook your head. “I’ll be alright.”
“Okay.”
You weren’t sure what was there to say. You said everything you could yesterday. And the pain of him going away threw every other word or sentence you might had to say. You looked around the stuff you owned and picked up your scarf.
"Five, I want you to take this with you" you turned to him, handing him the scarf. "So you'll have something you can remember me by. If it's cold, you can wear it and remember what we lived through here."
"Thank you" he pulled you in and kissed you gently. It felt different with his beard gone. "I promise I will wear it."
Your heart melted a little, but it also broke. His eyes were sad, sadder than you've ever seen them. You wanted to help him feel better, but you had no idea how you could. So you just squeezed his hand, hoping it brought him at least a little bit of peace.
"I think it's time" you whispered, feeling the tears gather in your eyes.
"I don't want to."
"Yes you do" you smiled sadly. "You'll finally get to see your family and you're happy about it. But you feel sad, because you leave me here. It's okay, Five."
Five breathed in deeply, held the air in his lungs for a few seconds, then let it out. Then he stood up and grabbed your hands so you could walk out into the clearing. His book was safely in his free hand, his knuckles white as he squeezed his hand around it. You looked at him, really looked at him. You watched as his face contorted with focus and sadness. His eyes were harsh and gentle at the same time. You could only imagine the amount of conflict that was in his mind. But you wouldn't let him stay. He had to go.
"Alright," Five sighed. "Can you open the book and show it to me?" 
"Okay" you nodded and did what he asked for.
"Thank you" he muttered and got ready to create the portal.
He mumbled through the whole process. He made sure everything was right and you watched with amazement in your eyes as he created a blue glowing portal. The extent of his power was just so amazing to you. You knew he was a genius and extremely powerful, but you never had the opportunity to see it with your own eyes. His fists glowed blue with his power, but you saw that it was taking a lot out of him.
"I…" Five started and breathed hard.
"You're doing good, Five. So so good."
"I… I don't…" he stuttered and you saw the doubt in his eyes.
"Yes, you do. You can. You will do it" you tried to support him.
"I don't want to leave you here!" he finally looked at you.
"I'm not gonna let you throw this away from you" you shook your head.
You stepped close to him and pulled him in for one last kiss. His lips were soft and pliant against yours. You wished you could keep him there with you forever, but that was not a choice you could make. So you savored his lips on yours as long as you could. The way they moved, you would always remember.
"I love you" you breathed and made the hardest choice you ever had to, in your life.
You pulled away and pushed him into the portal. He fell through easily, the portal big enough to cover his whole body. The last look on his face was one of panic. He tried to reach for you, but you were too far. And then he disappeared from your sight along with the portal.
You breathed out, not realizing you had kept your breath in. You were still in shock by what you had done. You quite literally pushed your lover away. You pushed him out of your life, maybe your reality.
As the realization set in, you slid down into the dust and just looked in the distance, feeling the tears gather in your eyes and slowly roll down. The only thing you could hope was that he was safe and with his family.
And so went the forty-seventh day and night.
Tumblr media
You didn't move. You didn't want to move. It was something so extremely draining to you, you couldn't get yourself to do that.
And there was day and there was night, the first day.
♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡
Things were tough. Your heart hurt with the loss of the love of your life. And that ache spread through your body.
And there was day and there was night, the second day.
♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡
You didn't eat. You didn't drink. And you only slept when your body gave up on staying awake.
And there was day and there was night, the third day.
♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡
You didn't expect things to go this way. You knew it'd be painful and tough, but you didn't think it would affect you this much.
And there was day and there was night, the fourth day.
♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡
After all, he was coming back, wasn't he? He'd save the world and get back to you, bring you with him. After all, he loved you. Right?
And there was day and there was night, the fifth day.
♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡
You were sure of that. He loved you. He said it himself. He said he wanted to be with you. To grow old with you.
And there was day and there was night, the sixth day.
♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡
Or did you say that? Were you the only one who meant it? Were those things he said to you untrue? Were his "I love you"s all fake?
And there was day and there was night, the seventh day.
♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡
Was he even real? Was he just a figment of your imagination? You weren't sure anymore. The only thing you knew was that your feelings were true.
And there was day and there was night, the eighth day.
♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡
They were as true as your name. As true as the apocalypse. As true as the life you sought for years now. As true as…
And there was day and there was night, the ninth day.
♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡
…As his memory. Whether he himself was real or not, you promised you'd remember him. And so his memory lived vividly in your head.
And there was day and there was night, the tenth day.
♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡
You knew you couldn't just lie there forever. You had a life to live. Even if it was at a place like this. You had nothing to live for really, but you also couldn't just give up. How would you really give up? You were afraid of pain. So you had no choice but to live.
Even if it was meaningless.
And there was day and there was night, the eleventh day.
♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡
So you went out to get more food. And you went out to get more water. You collected enough for it to be enough for a few days. During the day you drew.
More specifically you drew him.
And there was day and there was night, the twelfth day.
♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡
Things were tough, yes. But you wanted to make the most of the life you got. You wanted to fulfill your dreams in this post-apocalyptic world. You wanted it, you needed it.
So you entertained yourself with everything you could. Nothing except the book remained untouched.
And there was day and there was night, the thirteenth day.
♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡
Untouched, with the hope of finishing the story with either your imagination of him, or if he really existed, then with the real him.
But you had to wait. And you had no clue how much you had to wait. Maybe it took him one more week. Or maybe a month. Or a year. Or more…
You wanted it. You wanted him to come back. But you were no longer sure that he would come back at all.
And there was day and there was night, the fourteenth day.
♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡
You were hopeless. More hopeless than ever. Things were just all too much. And all too little. It was a confusing thing, but you didn't even try to understand it. You accepted it.
As you also accepted your fate. You were going to die in the post-apocalyptic world, it was just a matter of when. And you weren't sure you wanted it to be sooner or later.
But it has been about two weeks since Five went away. And now you accepted that he wasn't going to be back. It was all too good to be true.
You just wanted a normal life. But it seemed that you didn't deserve one.
And there was day and there was night, the fifteenth day.
♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡
But you didn't understand why. Why didn't you deserve one? What did you do to get this treatment? You couldn't even remember your life before fully. There were only a few memories about it. So in all honesty you had no clue what you could've done.
All your memories are about the five years you spent in this god-forsaken place. Why was there an apocalypse? What or who caused it? With Five, you figured out that it was the moon that ended all life on Earth, but how did that happen?
And even if there was an apocalypse, why couldn't you just die with everyone else? Why did you have to live to tell the tale? It didn't make sense.
Nothing made sense anymore.
Nothing.
And there was day and there was night the sixteenth day.
♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡
Or maybe there was something that made sense. Your love for him. He was everything to you and he always will be. Even if you die in the post-apocalyptic world. Alone and without him.
Maybe things would be different if the apocalypse didn't happen. Maybe you would've met in a different way.
Maybe you'd still be together. Maybe you'd have a different life together…
And there was day and there was night the seventeenth day.
♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡✩♡
In an alternative universe, you would've met in a coffee shop. You would've gotten to know each other like normal humans. He would be the smartest college student and you'd be studying f/a (favorite area (interest)). Maybe even at the same university. You would've gone on dates every Sunday and after finishing your studies, you'd move in together. You'd get a job that fit the best and you'd build a life together.
And years later you'd get married with only your families around. You'd be so happy together. Maybe after a while, you'd adopt children, but even if you don't, your life would be perfect together.
Yes, in an alternative universe this is what would happen to you. And everything would be perfect.
But you weren't in an alternative universe. You were there, in the real world, stuck in an apocalypse. And there was no Five, there was no family, there was nothing. Only you and the painfully empty world, devoid of anything beautiful. Devoid of people, devoid of warm emotions, devoid of things that would make it interesting.
And there was day and there was night the eighteenth…
The swooshing sound of something magical hit your ear. It was familiar, though you no longer remember where it was familiar from. There was a flash of blue light that lit up the darkening sky for a fraction of a second and then there was nothing.
Except there was everything when you turned around. Your heart skipped a beat and everything seemed to slow down around you. Because there he stood. In all his glory.
"Five" you breathed out, tears rushing to your eyes.
He looked the same as you remembered. His bright green eyes shone with excitement and other emotions, though his face only showed a small smile. He was wearing a suit and he was so so handsome.
"I was in the neighborhood" he started, his eyes shining with a bit of mischief. "Thought I'd drop by."
And it all broke. You broke down crying, running to his arms, finally being able to be enveloped in them. His hands went around your waist and brought you closer than you thought was possible. He held you as tight as he could while you sobbed into his shoulders. You couldn't contain your feelings, too relieved to have him with you again.
"Five" you sobbed.
"I'm here now. I'm sorry for leaving you" he whispered. "I'm here."
The two of you sank to the floor and just hugged each other. Both of you were crying, from relief, from love, from everything. It was everything you wanted and it was finally back with you.
“I’m sorry” Five whispered. “I’m sorry for leaving you here. How much time passed by?”
“I don’t know” you shook your head, looking at him.
You lifted your hand and wiped his tears away, slowly caressing his face, which was clean-shaven.
“But it was long” you whispered, feeling new tears coming to your eyes.
“I’m sorry, darling. Thank you for waiting for me” he held your face in his hands.
"Of course I waited" you snuggled into his hand, finally feeling at peace.
"What did you do while I was away?" he asked.
"I don't want to talk about that. Not right now" you closed your eyes.
"Alright. Then let me talk about my family. I met them again and they're much older than me. They are the weirdest bunch I've ever met. And even though our world is fucked up, there's still a place for us. Do you want to come too?" he smiled.
"I do."
Five smiled and pulled you into a kiss. His lips were warm against yours, though the taste was different than before. It was something bitter and you honestly didn't know what it was. You liked it though.
"Let's go" he pulled away a little bit and smiled at you.
"Alright," you nodded and pecked his lips a last time.
He intertwined your fingers and got ready to create a portal.
"Wait!" you stopped him and ran back to your stuff, picking up the book you were reading together. Five smiled when you showed it to him.
"Got everything now?" he asked.
"Yep" you smiled. "Do I… do I look okay?"
"You're beautiful. And they don't care about the dust" he pecked your lips and then finally created the portal.
You were going home.
And so went the forty-eighth day and night.
Tumblr media
The house you stepped into was different than you imagined. It was big, but everything seemed to match Five's description. You just… imagined it differently.
You were in a huge hallway, surrounded by beautiful artwork. In front of you was a huge staircase that led up to the upper floors and to your right was a huge archway that led to the living and dining room.
You were so surprised by everything and it was so surreal for you, that you didn't even notice that Five just watched you, smiling at your wonder. He was so happy to have you there, finally free from the post-apocalyptic world.
Finally, you turned toward Five.
“So… this is where you lived before… you know.”
Five nodded with a smile on his face. Then he seemed to remember something and looked down at his watch.
“They should be…” he started and your brows furrowed in confusion for a second before a familiar swooshing sound hit your ear and made you turn around.
A group of weirdly dressed people teleported into the foyer, stumbling as they landed. There were two women and three men standing around the table and they looked through themselves, shocked that they were in one piece.
“My family” Five whispered into your ear, stepping up behind you.
“And why are they…” you whispered back, gesturing to their clothing.
“Well…” Five started, but then one of the people in the group noticed you two.
“Five!” the guy in the cowboy hat exclaimed. “And weird little girl…”
“What?” the tall woman turned around and looked at you as well, the others finally noticing you.
“How did you arrive before us?” the man with shoulder-length hair asked and pulled out a knife.
Your eyes widened at both the attention and the previously mentioned guy’s knife. Your hands reached for Five’s and your brain was trying to make sense of what was going on. You knew they wouldn’t hurt Five, he was their brother, but your fight or flight reflex switched on and you were still trying to decide whether to escape the situation or burn the man down.
“I made a shortcut” Five shrugged simply.
“But… you held the briefcase…” the buff man said confused.
“No, Luther, you held the briefcase” Five nodded toward the still-present briefcase in his hands.
“But you… I don’t know how to operate it. How did you…”
“Wait, I think we should first discuss the case of the weird little girl!” the man with the cowboy hat interrupted and turned to you with a kind smile. “Hey, I’m Klaus and…”
“I think this weird briefcase incident is more important!” the buff man… Luther? interrupted him and raised his voice slightly.
In a matter of seconds, chaos ensued and everyone started arguing. Everyone had their own questions and priorities. Only two people stayed out of it. Five and the other woman. She approached the two of you and smiled kindly at you.
“Hi, I’m Vanya” she introduced herself, but then something seemed to stir in her. Still, her smile turned back to kind a second later. “I’m guessing you’re the famous Y/n. Five talked a lot about you.”
“Yeah, hi” you smiled back, relieved that she was kind. “You’re… the sister who plays the violin, right?”
“Yeah” she nodded and then thought for a moment. “Well, I used to play. I haven’t played it since…”
Seeing that she had trouble voicing her thought, Five said it instead of her. “She caused the apocalypse.”
“Oh,” you blinked, shocked by the revelation, and Vanya’s face reddened with embarrassment.
“But then she redeemed herself when she helped stop the Commission.”
“What is the Commission?” you looked at him, confused.
“They tried to recruit me when I first came back and then since we kind of got into a timeline we weren’t supposed to exist in, they came to kill all of us,” Five said as if he was just saying that the sky is cloudy.
“What?” you exclaimed.
That got the others’ attention and you immediately shrinked away from their gazes. But still, you couldn’t let go of what he just said.
“What do you mean they came to kill you? What do you mean they tried to recruit you? What do you mean that you went to a different timeline? Five!” you asked, unable to understand what he was saying.
“I’ll explain later” he tried to placate you, but it just made you more mad.
“Five! What the hell happened exactly in the days you were gone?” the tall woman asked, confused by who you were.
Five sighed out, knowing he couldn’t avoid the explanation any longer.
“Let’s go to the living area and I’ll explain everything.”
And explain he did. As everyone sat down on the couch and the chairs, Five started from the beginning.
He told his family that the day he disappeared he ended up in the post-apocalyptic world and for five years he was alone. Around two months before he came back, he met you, who helped him figure out the equation to get back home.
Then he turned to you to explain that he arrived to the real world a bit more than a week before the apocalypse happened and with his family’s help he tried to stop the apocalypse. Along the way, the Commission, which is an agency that deals with time-space stuff, tried to recruit him and for a while, they succeeded. Or so they thought. And with the Commission now hot on his heel, he tried to save the world.
The apocalypse still happened though, he was too late to stop it and so in an attempt to save his family, he scattered them in the 1980s. It wasn’t intentional though. Once he got there as well, it turned out that there was going to be another apocalypse in a little bit more than a week and once again he was tasked to stop it. They managed, but while they were at it, Vanya’s girlfriend’s son almost caused another one. So they helped the little guy and soon the Commission came with hundreds if not thousands of people to stop them. Thankfully though they managed to kill all of the agents and then kill the head of the Commission as well. Two birds with one stone, right?
Finally, they got a suitcase and were able to get home with Five taking a shortcut and getting you from the post-apocalyptic world.
“So no more apocalypses?” the tall woman, who you now knew was called Allison, asked.
“I hope not,” Five said.
“Then I can…”
“Find your daughter” Five nodded.
“It was great to meet you Y/n” Allison smiled at you and then she was off.
“If her daughter is alive, do you think Pogo and Grace are too?” Luther asked.
“Well, that’s a hard question. I feel like they should be” Five answered.
“Wait, first I still don’t get how this little girl-”
“Y/n” Five corrected Diego.
“-Right, Y/n. How did you survive the apocalypse? And how are you here if you were alive in the time before the apocalypse? How are you eighteen, when you were just thirteen back then?” he lists the questions.
“I-” you were stunned and had no idea how to answer all of his questions.
“They probably inherited the powers” Five answered for you.
“Really?” everyone in the room turned to him.
“I’ve been thinking about it and that makes the most sense. You said that you were born on the 21st of October in 2006. You don’t remember your parents, so it can easily be that either your mother or father had powers when they had you.”
“But we were what, like seventeen?” Luther said, confused.
“There are teenage pregnancies” Vanya reminded him. “Maybe they’re a result of one.”
“Maybe,” you said, feeling that Five’s explanation made sense.
“What are your powers?” Klaus asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.
“Well…” you started and looked at Five for guidance. But Five just shrugged and gave you the choice to show them your powers. “I can do a number of things actually. In the sense that it all has to do with fire. I can warm my whole body up and also can create fire from nothing. I’m also fireproof” you explained.
“That’s cool” Vanya smiled at you.
“Not as cool as yours!” you said, just now remembering that she had powers. “You’re so powerful!”
“Well, I can’t really control it…”
“We’ll figure something out” Five smiled at Vanya. “Actually, if nobody has any more questions, I’m going to steal Y/n away. No? Alright, we’re out!”
With that, Five pulled you up from the couch and lead the way out of the room.
“Leave your room’s door open!” Diego shouted after you.
“We’re eighteen!” Five yelled back.
“I don’t care!”
“Yeah well me either,” he said at a normal volume and smiled at you. “A nice warm shower or a nice warm bath?”
“I… uh… hmm” you fell silent after that, trying to decide. “Bath?”
“A bath it is” his smile widened and his eyes shone with happy light. “Tomorrow I’ll show you around the academy and I’ll let you get to know my siblings, but today, we’re spending time together. What would you like to eat for dinner?”
“I’m… not sure” you shrugged, not familiar with any dishes other than the ones in the post-apocalyptic world. “What’s your favorite dish?”
“I’ll show it to you” he promised and you finally reached his room.
He picked out two towels from one of the drawers and then turned around.
“We’ll have to raid Klaus’s closet. None of my old clothes will fit either of us.”
You nodded half-heartedly as you looked around the room. It was decorated quite plainly, the walls covered in a simple wallpaper. The bed was tiny, it probably wouldn’t fit the now-tall Five. Not to mention you. There were few toys around, just some basics. Still, it was so Five.
“Let’s go” he smiled gently and grabbed your hand once again.
You reciprocated his smile and let him lead you to another room, where he grabbed two sets of pyjamas and uniforms.
“We’ll buy some clothes at some point” he promised.
“These are so cute” you smiled, holding the little jacket in your hand.
Five didn’t agree with you, but let you indulge in whatever thought you had. Then you grabbed his hand and the two of you finally went to wash away all the dirt you had on you.
And so went the forty-ninth day and night.
Tumblr media
In the morning it was weird to wake up. It was warm around you and the mattress soft. The pillows were keeping your head propped up, though you still preferred Five’s chest as a pillow. Speaking of him, he was gazing at you with so much love in his eyes, you thought you were gonna drown in them.
“Good morning” he whispered, not wanting to break the calm morning silence.
“Morning” you smiled, feeling your chest fill with warmth and happiness, because finally, you were safe and back in your lover's arms.
“How did you sleep?”
“I never want to get out of this soft bed” you admitted and that was enough to answer Five’s question.
“Well, we don’t have to if you don’t want to” Five smiled and caressed your face gently.
“But I also want to talk to your family. I want to know more about them and about you.”
“We can do whatever you want” he promised.
“Alright” you smiled and closed your eyes, happy to just be.
But then you remembered something and sat up. Five looked at you, confused about your sudden action.
“The book!”
“What about it?” he sat up as well.
“I wanted to finish it with you last night, but with everything else happening, I forgot about it!”
You got out of bed, ready to search for it, when Five grabbed your hand.
“First, get dressed. We’ll have breakfast and then we’ll read the ending of the book” he pulled you back into his lap.
You looked down at yourself and then nodded, knowing that what Five suggested is a lot better than just running through the house, searching for the book.
So you did exactly that. You got dressed, then you walked down to eat breakfast.
Last night you had the pleasure to meet Grace, the siblings’ robot mom, and also Pogo, who was, to your surprise, a talking chimp. They were both very nice and respectful and Grace immediately took you into the family.
It was weird, falling into a different rhythm of life. But you liked it. Much more than the one you had in the post-apocalyptic world. Though you can certainly see the magic of that as well. After all, a lot happened during a day in that world as well. With Five by your side, of course.
After you got breakfast (Five’s favorite: peanut butter sandwich with marshmallows), you sat down in the living area, with you resting on Five’s chest and Five’s arms around you.
“Are you ready to know how the story ends?”
“I’ve been dying to know” Five smiles at you and kisses your lips gently.
But as you started to read it, Klaus came waltzing in.
“Ah, young lovers” he sighed and put one of his hands on his chest, and gave a fake sob.
“Klaus!” Five sat up immediately, annoyed to be interrupted.
“Hey, I’m just trying to get to know my little sibling-in-law” he rudely sat down next to you and put a hand on your shoulder. “You guys disappeared so early in the evening and I couldn’t even get my questions in. Hm, I wonder what you guys were doing…”
At that, you choked on your own spit, and Five’s face reddened.
“KLAUS!”
“What? I didn’t say anything” he blinked innocently with a mischievous smile on his face. “But dear sibling-in-law, do tell me, how exactly did you meet this sweet brother of mine?”
“Well…” you struggled a little bit after your coughing fit. “It was actually by chance. He just appeared on the horizon one day and… well at first we actually argued a lot. We didn’t like each other that much.”
“Why? Was this little rascal moody and a smartass?” he asked and he seemed to be genuinely curious.
“Kind of?” you shrugged.
“Interesting” Klaus hummed and then thought for a few seconds. “I wonder what changed?”
“He cried,” you said simply, which earned a gentle slap on your shoulder from Five. “Hey! That’s the truth. When you cried for the first time, I realized that you were so much more than just a grumpy little smartass.”
“Aw, that is just so sweet” Klaus “sobbed” again. “You guys are adorable.”
“Get out” Five rolled his eyes.
“No, no. I’m gonna keep asking questions” Klaus waved him off.
“No, you will not. Leave them alone” Five finally pushed Klaus off the couch and he landed with a loud “Oof!”
“So inhospitable” Klaus frowned but ended up leaving after he whispered in your ear: “I’ll find you for more questions later.”
You giggled as Five threw the pillow behind his back after him. You turned to him, putting a gentle hand on his face.
“It’s okay,” you said.
“As long as that idiot doesn’t come back.”
“Don’t worry, you scared him away for a while” you chuckled and then picked up the book from your lap. “So, last chapter?”
“Yes, definitely” he sighed, grabbing a hold of your waist and pulling you in.
But just as you were about to start reading it, Allison came in, with a young girl holding onto her hand tightly.
“Hey guys” she greeted the two of you. “Where are the others? I want to introduce you to my daughter.”
Five sighed, annoyed that you were interrupted once again, but stood up.
“I’ll get them” he promised and with a flash of blue light, he was gone.
So you were left alone with the woman and her daughter. You sighed and put the book on the little coffee table in front of you. You looked up at Allison, then directed your glance at the little girl clutching her hand.
“Hi” you waved with as much gentleness and kindness as you could fit in your voice and gesture.
The little girl shyly lifted up her free hand and waved back at you.
Then Five teleported back and you heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Soon, the three men came in through the archway and stood there at first confused. Then they sat down on the couch and the armchairs. Only one person was missing. Vanya, but she was nowhere to be found.
“Well, I’ll shoot her a text, and then she’ll arrive whenever she arrives” Allison sighed and quickly did as she said. She then put her phone away and smiled. “So, this is my daughter Claire” she guided her daughter to stand in front of her. “And Claire, these are your uncles!”
“Hi, Claire!” Luther was the first to speak up, his smile just as gentle as his voice. “I’m your uncle Luther. Uh, Spaceboy.”
“Hi” Claire seemed to cheer up a lot, hearing the nickname you assumed she gave him.
“It is so good to meet you, Claire. Your mom said a lot about you” he smiled, seeming truly happy.
“Hey Claire, I’m Klaus. The fun uncle” Klaus waved, but Claire’s big smile dropped, and only shyly waved back.
“Klaus, you don’t know how to talk to kids” Diego sighed.
“Oh, because you do?” Five asked with raised eyebrows.
“You’re even worse than me!” Diego accused.
“How do you come to that conclusion? You haven’t done shit with kids!”
“Five! There’s a literal kid here!” you scolded him and Five shut up immediately and leaned back, scowling. “Sorry about them” you apologized partly to Allison and partly to Claire. “Those are your uncle Diego and uncle Five. I’m your uncle Five’s… significant other, Y/n” you smiled gently.
“Hi Y/n” she smiled, feeling more at ease.
Just then the elusive Vanya Hargreeves comes in. Except… she got a haircut.
“Sorry I’m late!” she said, then continued to apologize profusely. “I’m really sorry, I was already coming back when I got your text and I was hurrying so much. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to be late.”
“It’s… okay. Your hair…” Allison started, but was interrupted by Klaus.
“Oh I love the haircut” he smiled, gesturing with his hand lightly.
“Yeah, um. As I was saying, I’m really sorry” Vanya turned to Allison.
“Yeah, no, it’s no problem. I get it” she dismissed quickly. “Claire, this is your auntie Vanya!”
“It’s uh… Viktor” she… he said with fear lingering in his voice.
It took a couple of seconds for you to catch up, but then a gentle smile took over your face.
“Who’s Viktor?” Diego asked, seeming utterly confused about everything going down.
“I am,” Viktor said. “It’s who I’ve always been.”
Everyone in the room was trying to understand what was exactly going on, so you took on the opportunity to say something.
“Hi Viktor” you smiled gently and Viktor smiled back at you, but then he looked around, still scared of his family’s reaction.
“Is… is that an issue for anyone?”
“Nah, I’m good with it” Diego shrugged.
“Yeah, me too. Cool” Klaus smiled brightly.
“Truly happy for you, Viktor” Five said, gently smiling at the man.
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Allison asked with a sad, but happy look on her face.
“Well… I kinda didn’t have time to even figure it out fully until like yesterday and… yeah” Viktor wasn’t sure how to really explain it.
“Thank you for trusting us with this” Luther said.
“Yeah” Allison agreed. “And… I’m truly, truly happy for you” she seemed like she wanted to say more, but then she remembered that she was meant to introduce her daughter. “Then, this is your uncle Viktor. Viktor, this is your niece, Claire.”
“Glad to meet you, Claire” Viktor smiled at the young girl.
“Well, now that the introductions are over…” Klaus started and then went on to start a conversation so Claire can get to know everyone and everyone can get to know Claire.
The rest of the morning went on like that and then it was time for lunch. In all honesty, you weren’t sure what half of the dishes were that Grace served for everyone to enjoy, but you quickly found your favorite things. And Five was kind enough to explain every dish to you in a hushed voice that you heard above everyone’s chatter.
By the time you finished eating lunch, both Five and you were ready to find out how the book you were reading going to end. So as most people went to do their own thing, you and Five took one of the couches in the living area and got ready to read the last chapter.
“Finally, we’ll get to read the last chapter” Five sighed, leaning back against the back of the couch.
“Be careful, you’ll jinx it” you warned with a playful smile on your face.
And truly, Five did jinx it, because just as you were going to start the chapter, the light footsteps of Claire approached the living area.
“Auntie Y/n, uncle Five” her chipper voice was filled with happiness as she bound toward the two of you on the couch. “Can you play with me? Mama said that I should come to find you, because she wanted to talk to Spaceboy and later uncle Viktor.”
“Of course” you smiled instantly. “I know many games. I’ll teach some to you, would you like to?”
“Yes!” she beamed up at you and sat between you and Five.
So most of the afternoon you played with Claire, who, you were sure, was the absolute cutest little girl ever. She was also really polite and just full of energy.
Around four o’clock, Allison came down and said goodbye, going back home with Claire. Five sighed in relief, knowing that the time to finish the novel has came.
“Do not say a single word” you warned him gently, a teasing smile on your lips.
“I won’t” he promised with a slight smile and pecked your lips, then leaned back against your chest.
So you read the last chapter. The protagonist and the love interest have their wedding once again, this time knowing nothing can stop their love. They’re happy together with so much love between them. They defeated all evil and got their marriage back. They’re finally able to just be.
And in many ways, the two of you are the same. There’s no imminent apocalypse on the horizon for you, just endless love and happiness. Sure, things take time to adjust to, but you’re together once again, and with the other by your side, you’ll always defeat whatever challenge comes your way. And you couldn’t wish for more. You love Five and Five loves you.
And in the golden hour of the 3rd day of April, in the year 2019, the two of you lay in the Hargreeves’s mansion, used to be Umbrella Academy, and there’s nothing else but love and happiness in your hearts.
“Five?”
“Yes, Y/n?”
“We spent 50 days together,” you said.
“Really? You kept count of how many days we spent together?”
“Of course” you nodded as if it was the most usual thing.
Five hummed and then looked at you. “So in 50 days, you taught me how to love.”
“I think it was mutual” you smiled at him. “I love you Five.”
“As I do, my dear.”
And he leaned in to press the sweetest kiss to your lips, savoring the moment for ages to come.
And that is the story of how one lost teenager saved another and through their love saved the world and gave themselves the life they sought for years. The story ends here dear readers, but their love is yet to be concluded. 
And so went the fiftieth day.

The Apocalypse was over and Five Hargreaves did what he did best, drink and cope. The first few weeks of freedom he tried things he had missed early on in his childhood. It started when Viktor took him shopping for a new, more appropriate wardrobe, that someone who looked his age would wear. Then he would often visit the park just to admire the beauty of places that were once a baron landscape. And sometimes he just spent his time reading catching up on what he missed in the last few years.
But old habits die hard when you spend 54 years alone and the next 2 weeks desperate to save yourself and save your family. Maybe Klaus was right when he called the apocalypse his drug because, for a while, it was all he’d ever know.
Five hadn’t slept well in a long time and despite his newfound freedom without the looming feeling of impending doom. He would find himself waking up at 4 am to check his window and just to see if everything was real.
The Academy had been empty for a bit, the first week his family had stayed back to collect themselves, celebrate, and appreciate one another but slowly their lives fell back into place. Allison went back to Claire wanting to get back her career and her daughter back. Luther wanted to find his independence and took a small helping from his inheritance to live on his own. Diego and Lila had also moved out in hopes of continuing to grow their relationship and perhaps find happiness in normalcy. Viktor, now confident in himself wanting to explore the world more began traveling and meeting new people. To Five it felt like everyone had moved on, except him. He had been the one to jump through time, and now he felt like he was stuck in it.
However this morning, his silent coffee and breakfast time was interrupted but a surprisingly sober Klaus barging through the door with a girl no taller than 5’3 who looked as if she had been dragged through the mud and a forest in his arms.
“I didn’t know where to bring her she ran into me frantic and couldn’t speak much,”
“There wasn’t anyone chasing her so I have no idea where she came from and she’s in pretty bad shape.”
Klaus looked panicked, he felt bad for the beat-up girl in his arms but what could he do besides bring her to the place he knew could help her best.
Grace and Pogo immediately took action, bringing the girl into the spare room to care for her wounds.
“What makes you think you can just bring random people in here? She could be dangerous?”
Five arched his eyebrow at Klaus’s behavior. He wasn’t a trusting man but he trusted his brother’s intuition and the girl genuinely looked like she needed help.
“I couldn’t just leave her on the road. I’m not a bad person Five. There’s something different about her I swear.”
Five looked distrustful at what his brother was saying.
“Well, we’ll just have to see when she wakes up.”
The two went back to doing their own things in the Academy waiting for you to wake up.
————————-3 days later————————
The sun shone brightly in the room you stayed at. Your eyes slowly opened, blinking harshly to adjust to the shining light. You had no idea where you were, this new place was uncomfortable and unfamiliar. Warm wood furniture decorated the walls, and the mattress you slept on seemed more comfy, soft, and warmer than your old hay-filled cot. Unsurprisingly your wounds ached but were clean nevertheless. You jumped when the door swung open to reveal a monkey? no an ape? in a suit. "Ah you're finally awake, Ill let the others know"
"I am Pogo by the way, please rest, we don't want your stitches reopening." Maybe it was the exhaustion catching up to you, but you listened to his words and laid back, staring at the large high ceilings waiting to see if whoever brought you here would be your like your old doctors. Back downstairs Pogo noticed Five pacing around in the living room. "Any troubles worrying you?" "Yes that girl, I can't find any information about her, she had no ID, no name card, I even looked around the area trying to track back where she came from, and nothing." Five glanced around, more cautious of his surroundings
"What if the commission sent her?" "This is not good, not good at all"
And with a quick turn, he teleported to the room of which his unwelcome guest occupied. A flash of blue interrupted your daydreams when a boy about your age in a green flannel, cargo pants, with slightly long side parted hair entered your space. Besides appearing out of nowhere he looked almost normal, but that didn't stop you from being scared. Shivering you pushed yourself back on the bed as far as you could to try to get away from him. Sensing your fear Five held out his hands as a way to show you some form of peace. Lowering one hand he slowly approached you. But the closer he came the farther back you shuffled. Something wasn't right Five thought. You were terrified of him, what had happened to you to cause you to be in such a state.
Hey Im not going to hurt you, I don't know who you are but Im not going to hurt you." Five could see that you weren't budging so he reached into his pocket and pulled out a hazelnut toffee-flavored candy. He wasn't a big fan of sweets but had kept some from his last visit to a local coffee shop. "Here you must be a little hungry, it's good to see." He popped it in his mouth to show her that it was safe, not a trick. Slowly you reached out and touched his hand, grabbing the little treat, unwrapping it before letting the gooey sweet melt on your tongue. Five smiled at your reaction. "See? It was good." He thought you looked adorable with big doe eyes waiting to see if he had any more. He reached into his right pocket and pulled out another handle full of candies. "Ill give you one each time you answer a question. Can you do that for me?" You nodded slowly. "Okay, can you tell me your name?" "Angel" you pointed to yourself "Five" you pointed to him. You had heard Klaus shouting his name when you entered the house. "Angel? Do you have a last time?" "Five. Five Hargreeves" He pointed to himself. "Angel" You repeated. Okay maybe you didn't have a last name that was fine, at least he had gotten a name. He gave you another candy and watched you excitedly open it. "Okay Angel, another question where did you come from? Who or what were you running from?" "Doctor" you responded looking down. "What Doctor? What did he do to you." You felt like you should have known better than to trust the boy in front of you, but he looked so earnest so sweet, that you decided to show him your secret. Opening your fist a ball of shadows appeared in your hand before you tossed it into the air letting whatever light was in the room dissipate. Five knew what this had suggested. Whoever took you, held you captive, and experimented on you. Perhaps they were trying to make you into one of the unlucky 43. Another candy was handed to you.
“Show me more” Five demanded. You blinked at him slowly before he put another candy in your hand. “Show me.”
You looked at him and brought both your hands up into the air. He watched shadows run from the ground into the room and swirl around you. It appeared you could summon shadows at your will and control them.
“Good girl” and another candy as placed in your hand. "Tell me, Angel, do you know where or who it was? Do you know the name of the commission?" You stared at him blankly not understanding what he said. Before Five could ask any more questions Klaus had burst through the door. "My Angel! You are okay !" As he rushed towards you to grab your face. Stunned you jolted back from his presence. "Angel, that's why she called herself that, it's not her name, it’s what you called her!" Five went to smack Klaus in the back of the head when his hand was stopped by a shadow. "No hurt, Klaus friend" With heart eyes, Klaus dove into Angel's arms "LOOK AT MY ANGEL PROTECTING ME!!" With the gentleness of a newborn deer, Angel reached out to Klaus with a small sweet in her hand. "Candy?" "For me? Of course, Angel thank you!" Rolling his eyes at the scene Five teleported to his room to think. Where had this girl come from she had no name could barely speak and had a dark power with unknown consequences. Angel clad in Umbrella Academy uniform, and Klaus were in the living room when a flash appeared in the doorway. "Cinco! Where are you off to?" "Library I need to do some research." But just before he would reach for the doorknob a body was flung into his back. "Here take Angel with you, she needs a new set of clothes, can't have her wearing this uniform, you know all about that wouldn't you?" Klaus said as he shoved Angel forward. "I don't have time, I'm not a babysitter." Five expressed as he grabbed your arms and pushed you back. "Five...mad?" You looked up at Five with tears in your eyes. Reaching out to his face with his hand you softly pet his cheek. "Five...happy. Happy"
The time travelers face softened at the kindness you showed while trying to console him.
“I’m sorry Angel, yes Five is happy. Come on let’s go.”
He grabbed your hand ignoring the feeling of his heart when your soft skin wrapped around his.
————————-In the Car—————————
“Alright Angel, as cute as you look in the uniform we have to get you some normal clothes.”
Five looked over at you, but you were looking out the window. His green eyes passed over the cuts on your legs and the faint but visible bruises on your neck. It wondered him how someone could do this to you, turn a girl who seemed like an Angel into a shadow user. He parked the car at Gimble's before flashing to your side of the door to open it, Five was still a gentleman after all. "Okay now Angel, we're here to buy you some new clothes." You nodded your head to show you understood him and hopped out of the car excited to see the world around you. Being locked up for so long you had forgotten what the outside world looked like. Today the sky was blue with warm gusts of winds filling the air. People and families were seen chattering about. You reached out to grab Five's arm and pulled him closer to the store. Five chucked at your childlike antics, letting himself be whisked away by you. You dragged him to the dress section; some of the kinder doctors had given you books to look at to pass the time, many of them being princess books. There were cute frilly dresses that caught your eye immediately. Rushing forward you grabbed 3 dresses that might have suited you. With a sigh Five grabbed your shoulders wanting to tell you to go find some more practical everyday clothes. But after seeing the glimmer in your eye as if you found the most priceless thing...he couldn't bear take that away from you. "Come on Princess, let's go try them on." He ushered you to the changing room and waited outside. As he turned his back you grabbed his hand, but Five had yanked it back at the unexpected contact. He wasn't completely used to physical touch yet.
Ignoring this you grabbed his hand once more and tried to take him into the dressing room with you. "No Angel I can't go with you, just put on the dresses inside and Ill wait out here."
You had refused to let go of his hand. With another sign he allowed himself to be pulled into the confined space of the changing room. You quickly shimmied out of the uniform skirt and tie throwing it into a random corner. Five's face turned a deep scarlet red, although he was an older man the sight of your small and barely clothes body was enough to make him shift in his pants. Before he could embarrass himself any further he blinked out into the waiting room fanning his face as if he ran a marathon. There were small warning signs in his brain, don't get too attached, she doesn't know better, please don't get a boner right now. Trying to collect himself he put his hands in his face wanting to be anywhere but here right now. You interrupted his train of thought when you came out bouncing with a big smile on your face. The dress you picked out was a cute white summer dress that was white had thick straps tied on your shoulders. The skirt part stopped right above your knees and flared out with a twirl. You looked absolutely adorable, an Angel who wielded the power of a devil. "You look...beautiful" Five muffled through his hand. "Beautiful?" You questioned. "Yes you, Angel, you are beautiful." And as if your smile couldn't get any bigger, you ran and jumped into Five, his arms slowly wrapping around your frame to prevent you from falling.
"Five! Beautiful!" You smiled and pointed at him. Your fingers had graced his cheeks into a smile. Pointing at his dimple "Five! Beautiful" you repeated. "Oh, you think I'm beautiful Angel?" Five couldn't help but also feel happy and continue smiling, something about you felt like a breath of fresh air. His last few weeks had been nonstop paranoia and feeling the effects of an identity crisis, but hearing your laughter and seeing you call him beautiful, it felt as if he was actually living again. However, that didn't stop the nagging fear in the back of his mind of where you came from and what had happened to you. Perhaps it was the assassin in him that just couldn't let him...enjoy a moment. "Come on Angel, let’s get the rest of the dresses and pay. We need to head to the library before it closes." You nodded your head and skipped off to grab the rest of your dresses and clothes. You and Five stood at the cashier waiting to pay. "That will be 45.78." Five pulled out a 50 and felt your head lean on his shoulder. "Five, thank you." You looked up at him with a mischievous gleam in your eye. As he was retrieving his change you leaned up and placed your soft lips on the corner of his mouth. "Five happy?" He looked down at you and blushed "Yes Five is very happy." ————————The Library—————————- You were sat in Five's lap flipping through a picture book while he was doing research. Unfortunately, there was almost no information about any kind of suspicious activities in the area where they had found you or even how you even got to the city. Five had to expand his research on places that might have to do with experimental tests but with so little access he was found himself at a dead end. "Nothing! Absolutely Nothing!" Five yelled before slamming his notebook on the table. You jumped in his lap and covered your ears, eyes filling with heavy teardrops waiting to fall. "Shit Angel Im sorry come here." He cooed wrapping his arms around you for the fourth time today. Five pressed a kiss to the top of your hair and inhaled slowly. You smelt like a blooming meadow and a hint of cinnamon. Closing his eyes he rested his head on yours. It wasn't been often when he felt a peace like this, heck he didn’t even remember the last time he felt calm, other than when he was drinking or passed out after a mission. Your eyelashes fluttered on his neck as you began to press small kisses on his jawline. "Come on Angel what are you doing?" "Make Five happy. Kiss you" You mumbled and continued leaving marks on his neck and jaw. Five clenched his fists around you "Angel if you keep this us I'm not going to be able to hold back." Five groaned as he pulled you closer into his lap. And with his last bit of resolve, he blinked you guys back into the car. "Come on Angel let's go home." He kissed your cheek slightly to assure you he wasn't mad and drove the two of you back. ————————the academy———————--- "Mi hermano and Angel ! You guys are back" Klaus shouted from the couch he was currently lying on. You ran into the living room jumping in front of Klaus to show off your dress.
"My cutie Angel! You look so pretty!"
Klaus then swept you off your feet and into a fit of giggles. Five, who had been observing the scene from the bar was actively trying to fight off the green monster that was creeping up his heart. "Leave her alone Klaus we had a long day. Come on Angel let's have your shower and get ready for bed." It was obvious you needed to be cared for and Five had already begun to assume the role. Pulling out some extra pajamas Five had in his wardrobe he handed them to you before showing you the bathroom. "Shower here and come back to my room when you are done okay?" You nodded back and went into the bathroom. With a sign Five flopped on his back in bed wondering more about you. How could someone he just met cause him to feel such a way? Maybe it was his messed up time-traveling brain that was causing these emotions but deep down he knew he had a hidden attraction to you. He began to think more about your powers. You couldn't be part of the 43 because you were too young but you also showed an understanding of your abilities and more control than Viktor did when he first found out about his. Five would have to talk to you after you shower about your abilities. Small footsteps padded outside his room before stopping. The door swung open and there you stood wrapped in only a small towel Grace had given you. Five green eyes turned wide as you skipped into his room.. You had turned to grab the pajamas he had left you on the bed and dropped your towel. Five sat up instantly, his eyes wandered over the curve of your breasts and the plumpness of your backside. Being in the apocalypse and focused on getting back home to his family never allowed him much time for romance or women, besides Delores. You stood up as bare as the day you were born, nipples perked up at the cold air and you put the silk top and bottom on. Now properly clothed you turned to Five who was staring at you with eyes that rivaled a burning sun. In a blink, he was in front of you grabbing your waist with such a force it felt like you would disappear if he let go. Bringing his lips to your neck he kissed gently and dragged his face to meet your eyes. Soft despreate lips met plump shy ones as you and Five melted into each other. The kiss grew hungry, more desperate, both parties missing the feel of one another. The two of you fell back onto the bed with Five on top of you. Two souls both isolated from the world finally finding solstice in one another. All the questions Five had for you were gone from his mind, the only thing replacing it was the thought of how your body felt against his. A small hand reached into the front of Five's pants. "I want to help Five" You had whispered into his ear. It was going to be a long night.

You should have left a note - {Five Hargreeves x GN!Reader}
Synopsis: Five is ordered to kill his ex-commission partner. He doesn't want to.
Tumblr media
Note: I made this really late at night. I would really appreciate requests for Five :)
(Not edited)
WORD COUNT: 1K
2nd POV:
Five peers down at the paper that bears your name, hands shaky. He was ordered by the Handler--just this morning--to terminate you for immediate extraction.
It’s been a year since you left Five since you left the Commission. He'd been rightfully frustrated since your abrupt departure. He didn't get a note, nor a goodbye. Sure, you two weren’t all that close as partners, but he at least deserved a warning, he thought.
He doesn't know how to feel about the idea of blowing your brains out with his M1935.
You’ve been gone for approximately a year, leaving no trace or hints as to where you may be. But, the Commission finally tracked you down to a small town in New Jersey, 1978.
When he arrives in front of your supposed living quarters, he is taken aback by the rundown apartment complex in front of him. A real shithole. Its bricks are chipped and sun-bleached, presumably from old age. Police sirens and gunshots are audible from a neighborhood away, giving away the unsafeness of the area.
It’s twelve o’ clock at night. Five quietly blinks up to your numbered room. If he remembers correctly from the paper, it's room 395. Third floor, second door to the left.
Your apartment is dark, gloomy. Five does not turn on the lights, not wanting to give away his existence. But, he assumes you’re not home anyways. Your job as a bartender at a rundown restaurant downtown would have you occupied for at least another hour.
He wonders through the confined living space, taking note of a few books scattered on the coffee table, and an unmade bed. There's a small pile of dishes in the sink, a pot and two bowls. There are no picture frames, or wall decor. The room is barren with no personality at all.
Five would not even know that you lived here from the looks of the place.
It smells like you though, he unwillingly notices. He finds it oddly comforting nostalgic.
He’s in the middle of examining some scattered papers on the ground when he hears the jingling of keys outside the door. Along with your whistling.
Five blinks behind a window curtain in no time at all, blood pumping fast. You must have gotten off early.
Your humming becomes more prominent as you enter your living space. The sound of keys being thrown on the kitchen counter makes Five jolt, but he still goes unnoticed.
You make no move to turn on the lights, so Five risks a glance at you.
Your head is blocked by the freezer door, but he notices your disheveled work attire. Some black slacks and an untucked white button down shirt. Your apron hangs on a hook by the door.
When the freezer door is closed, he notices your face. It's the same as when he last saw you, but with sadder eyes and dark eye-bags. His heart sinks, he starts feeling uncharacteristically torn.
He watches you crack open a frozen dinner meal and place it in the microwave. You roll your sleeves up to your elbows while you wait for the food to heat up. Five always thought you had nice, toned forearms. He stares at them, at you.
His eyes are intense, observing as you lean against the counter, stretching and running your fingers through your hair. He feels his stomach knot.
Five was definitely the wrong person for this job. He readys his gun quietly.
You freeze at the almost imperceptible sound of a gun clicking, slowly turning your head in Five's direction. He doesn't see the way your eyebrows furrow because he's fully behind the curtain again.
The microwave beeps quietly, but you make no move to retrieve your dinner.
The sound of footsteps approaching Five's hiding spot makes sweat bead on his forehead. He debates letting himself be caught, but decides against it. Five blinks behind you, aiming his gun.
But you've already kicked the thing out of his hands, fully expecting his maneuver. You tackle him to the ground, gripping his wrists and pinning his legs with yours. Not before kicking the gun far away, under the couch.
"God, of course they sent you, Five." You breathe, glaring down at him in dismay. "The Handler's such a sadistic- I mean, sending my own partner to kill me? Is she kidding?" You ramble is distress, cursing your ex-employer.
Five gazes up at you, swallowing thickly. He fights thoughtlessly against your grasp, but tries nothing else to get loose. He does not want to kill you.
"Let go of me." He warns, feeling fuzzy and not knowing what else to say. His eyes never leave yours.
"Why don't you just blink away? You're fully capable of getting out of this." You accuse, getting close to his face. Your breath tickles his nose. It's minty.
Five hesitates, his eyes fluttering for a moment as he fails to regain his train of thought.
He remains quiet.
"You don't really want to kill me." Your grip on his wrists falters slightly when he doesn't object.
He softly pulls his wrists free, and you let him sit up. But you keep his legs pinned just in case. There is a strangely comfortable silence as you wait for Five to find the words.
"You should have just told me you were going to leave." Five whispers finally. His tone is unreadable. "Or at least left a note."
You look at him with a pained expression. "You're right. I should have." It's something you regretted for months after abandoning him. There is an intake of breath right before you add: "I missed uh- I miss you." You redden, not looking at him.
He exhales with a hidden smile. "Me too."
