Warnings: Sparrow!Ben being sparrow Ben? oh, also swearing

Word count: 2k

A/n: Thank you for the request, sorry it took so long!

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.

OK HI, so its currently 2 am and i stayed up for the longest time reading your angst stories and i CANT GET ENOUGH OF THEM THEY ARE SO GOOD ok anyways so i just wanted to request a story :) ok so this might be stupid or something but so y/n and five are dating and they have been since before texas 1963 (season 2) and now we are in the 3rd season where y/n doesn't feel any love from five even though five only occasionally says he does but he is just being cold to y/n, and so they start spending less time together but at luthers party when five gets drunk he is all like "oh i love you so much" and all of a sudden he wants to constantly be around y/n, but it turns out he was just trying to make it easier when the apocalypse does come its easier to loose y/n but y/n doesn't buy it because he is drunk I AM SO SORRY IF THIS MAKES NO SENSE LIKE I SAID ITS 2 AM

HI THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!

warnings: five being mean, drunkenness, swearing

tag list: @mad-elia ; @navs-bhat ;

MY LIGHT

Once upon a time you were loved. Cherished. Adored. Just as he had promised in his vows, made in both you and Dolores’ presences. Once upon a time, he held your hand. He kissed your cheeks, held your face, and told you he loved you as he tickled your stomach and pressed his lips all over your face.

Oh, but like all fairy tales, they come to an end.

Once upon a time, Five Hargreeves loved you. Once upon a time, your love was returned.

But then he began to pull away. Yes, your darling husband would still smile sometimes. Sometimes he would pat your hand when you got an injury. But he would always pull back.

Eventually, even those things faded. He no longer smiled at you, only looking at you with disdain. If at all. Sometimes you would no longer wake to him by your side, but with him nursing a bottle by the desk. Once, he even kicked you out.

So you ran and ran, trying to find a solution. Always trying to help.

“You really are dense, aren’t you?!” he yelled one night as you presented your own equations. He began waving the bottle in his hand out of anger. “Can’t you see, darling? There’s no point! Nothing! So, say your last goodbyes, honey, because we’re all going bye-bye in a day or two!”

The nickname was no longer a term of endearment, but an insult. As was any amount of affection he showed you.

You remembered feeling hope just a few days before as the Handler dropped dead on the ground. As she fell, your worst enemy, Five rushed to you holding you in his arms as he shook. He didn’t even pay attention as Lila split. He just hugged you to his chest, rocking you back and forth.

You were far too shocked to do anything about it. He had not held you- let alone touched you- in days. You just sat there, stiff.

He was a little more affectionate then, pulling blankets up around your shoulders the second you were able to get some sleep; offering you a cup of coffee exactly the way you liked it when you woke.

It was heaven.

Is this what our lives will be like from now on? You thought, a smile on your face as you looked at him as he sassed his siblings. I could get used to this.

But then you landed home. He still held your hand, swinging it with his. You were still far too stunned to say anything to him, though you vowed to ask later.

And suddenly, things grew worse once more. Even more awful than they had been before.

He began flat-out ignoring you. He would avoid you; lightly push you out of his way if you grabbed him by his arms, begging him to tell you what was happening. He just brushed you off, a flippant look of annoyance on his face, telling you it was nothing.

So then you began to pull away, too.

You would not let him have you if he refused to take you in. You would no longer let him touch you if he wouldn’t. You would no longer try to get him back.

You could’ve sworn you saw despair cross his face as you stepped out of his way, not looking him in the eye, not smiling. Just…moving.

You were not his, you told yourself, sliding your wedding ring off of your finger after seeing his gone.

And he was not yours.

~*~

Your heart weighed heavy in your chest as you watched Luther and Sloane get married. Her in her beautiful white dress, Luther in his suit.

You remembered your wedding. The vows that seemed to be broken so easily.

You sat as far from him as possible; you crossed your legs, putting up your guard. No one would bring it down ever again, not if they were to stab you straight through the heart you so openly let them have.

And it was the same story at the reception as you drank from the bottle, downing it.

“You know, honey,” you heard a voice behind you, his words slurring. You turned to face it. “Drinking is bad for you. You shouldn’t do it.”

His hands went to your hair, muttering about how it was undone, how he’d have to re-do it. That was always his thing. He’d do the smallest things to help you; that included your hair, in fact that used to be his favorite little thing to do.

I swear, Y/N darling, I will always, always help you…Especially with your hair.

You moved out from under him, making him whimper, continuing to reach out. “Yet here you are, doing it just the same as I am.”

He shrugged, sitting down next to you, staring at you. There was an odd look in his eye; a look that you had seen a long time ago. A look that had asked you to marry him, a look that had brushed your hair back from your face and told you it loved you more than anything in the infinite universe.

Damn that look.

“I can. It’s my job to make sure you don’t make the same mistakes I do, sweetheart.”

“It is not. We are in no way related to each other.”

“That’s not true, baby,” he laughed, “and you know it. I’m your-” He hiccupped, reaching out for your hair again. “-husband. You know? The one who is madly, and forever in love with you? The one who adores you beyond any sort of comprehension?”

“Oh!” you gasped, placing a hand to your heart dramatically. You almost pitied the fool; his face lit up as if recognizing that you finally understood what he meant. He reached out for you, about to pull you into his lap. “You mean the one that took his ring off and ignores me? Calls me an idiot? That one?” The smile on your face nearly broke it; the sarcasm nearly broke you.

His face fell; his eyes teared up. He grabbed you by the hips, pulling you into him. You tried to climb out, but he held you tighter, pressing his lips to the back of your neck.

“You have to know,” he whispered, “that everything I did…everything was a mistake.” He began to kiss your shoulders up and down. “And I want you to know that I’m incredibly disappointed in you; your lack of faith in me was quite unnerving. To think that a person like me, who’s only source of light was you, would just discard you like that.” He continued to kiss you, whispering ‘I love yous’ between them, tears dripping down your back now. When you began to talk, he shushed you. “I don’t get it. Why can’t I just have an apocalypse-free world for once? Why can I not have a world where I don’t have to deal with the thought of losing you at any given moment? Because it would be so hard. Losing you, you know? You are my life. My love. My everything. So what else could I do? Maybe…I thought that just maybe if I pushed you away–just maybe–I would feel less empty. Less angry, sad, depressed. I couldn’t–no, I can’t handle the thought of losing my light. My darling. My world. I thought that maybe I could make myself hate you. But that’s hard with a person who’s only flaw was loving me, huh?”

You tried to pull away. He interrupted you with a little tug, a kiss pressed firmly to the side of your neck, nipping it slightly. “Let me finish. Please.”

You leaned back, and he sighed, pulling you in even closer, pressing kiss after kiss to your neck, paying no mind to those who were watching.

“I suppose my point is that I was wrong. So, so wrong. And I’m so sorry; I’m sorry for hurting you, I’m sorry for making you think that I didn’t love you anymore, and I’m sorry that I’m such a fucking idiot that I couldn’t treat you to the best last days possible. I’m sorry that I couldn’t hug you, hold you. God, I’m sorry for myself too. Do you know how much I’ve missed this? How much I’ve craved it? Your touch? The feel of you in my arms?”

“Five,” you whispered, voice soft. There were tears in your eyes. “You’re drunk. You’re not…you’re not coherent. You don’t know what you’re saying.”

“Oh, darling. Don’t you remember the phrase I taught you? Drunk words are sober thoughts. And, trust me, I could not stop thinking about you for the past few weeks. At night. During the day. All the time. Hell, I even dreamed of you.”

“Five, you are drunk. You are not sober; you are not in the right state of mind.”

“I think I’m better than ever.”

“You think you love me.”

“I do.” He squeezed your waist; not tightly, but enough to hold you in place. Enough to let you know he was serious. “Never, ever doubt that. I couldn’t take it if you did.”

“You don’t, Five,” you whispered, sliding out of his lap. You placed your hand on his jaw; he held onto your wrist, looking up at you with big, despairing eyes. “But you’ll remember that in the morning. Won’t you?”

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.

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.

how about headcannons for a sunshine reader with five? Like how would five react if they saw them sad for the first time even though they're always pretty happy?

I’m so sorry that it’s this short, I just don’t know much about this stuff even though I tried to look it up (sunshine reader)

————————————————————

Five x sunshine reader who cries in front of him for the first time

Five Hargreeves, known for his stoic and no-nonsense demeanor

Yet he finds himself in a completely new territory when faced with his sunshine-like lover shedding tears in front of him

Initially caught off guard, Five's sharp eyes soften, and he instinctively moves closer

His usual walls momentarily crumbling as he realizes the gravity of the moment

Five might not be the most emotionally expressive, but he has a subtle understanding of comfort

He wordlessly offers a handkerchief or tissue, his actions conveying a rare sense of tenderness

Despite his pragmatic nature, Five finds himself quietly asking:

"What's wrong?"

His tone, though still matter-of-fact, holds a touch of concern that is both surprising and genuine

As his sunshine love opens up about their emotions, Five listens attentively, absorbing every word

His ability to analyze situations extends to understanding the complexities of human emotions, and he navigates the conversation with a surprising degree of empathy

Five may not be one for grand gestures, but he subtly adjusts his approach, making an effort to be more attuned to his lover's emotional needs

Whether it's offering a comforting touch or just sitting in companionable silence, he adapts to the situation

Over time, Five's understanding deepens, and he learns to appreciate the strength it takes for his sunshine baby to express vulnerability

He becomes a reliable anchor for them, a source of support that contrasts with his usual aloof exterior

The first time his sunshine lover cries in front of him becomes a pivotal moment in their relationship, strengthening the connection between them

It marks a subtle shift in the dynamic, showcasing the depth of understanding that exists beyond the surface-level complexities of their lives

Ecstasy Of The Heart

masterlist

pairing: five hargreeves x any gender reader

warnings: fluff, sarcastic five, cursing

summary: you and five quarling like an old married couple while shopping

a/n: harry potter poa reference in the summary ;) there's also a full house (my fav show ever) reference somewhere

song: tainted love - soft cell

"No, we are getting the chocolate ones," Five rolls his eyes.

"Uh- no we aren't? We are getting mint ones," you argue back.

"There is something wrong with you, nobody likes mint oreos," he tells you with disgust in his voice, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"That's not true, you just lack enough social interaction to know that," you huff.

"Well, everyone at the academy agreed on chocolate," he reminds you.

"Okay, that was before I saw those delicious mint ones-"

"'Delicious mint ones my ass. You might as well just take the cookie part off of a regular one and put toothpaste on it"

"I'm done with this, we are getting both- problem solved," you say placing both in the cart.

"What ingredients did Klaus say he needed," you wonder aloud.

"We are not getting Klaus anything," Five tries to steal the cart from you.

"What do you mean? He told me to get him ingredients so we can make a cake together," you tell him.

"Klaus can't bake"

"You can't space jump without getting stuck in the future either," you cross your arms.

His jaw drops and he glares at you.

"At least I'm not best friends with someone who's high all the time," he says.

"I happen to enjoy his highness, he makes everything less... serious," you look him up and down.

"Whatever, just get everything on the shelf for all I care," Five gives up.

"Can we get a dog," you ask while strolling through the isle with pet food and supplies.

"Absolutely not"

"But why, do you think I can't take care of one?"

"Yes, in fact I do think that"

"I would make a great parent, for your information"

"Oh really? The last time we had a pet you gave the fish a bath-"

"He needed to be cleaned"

"-with soap!"

You shake your head looking up and mutter a 'rest in peace Mr. Goldfish'.

You two finally made it back to the academy to see Allison and Luther waiting in the kitchen.

Luther looks at Allison, "I'm surprised, they made it back without killing each other!"

The two of you glance at each other, "barely," you say in sync with him.

the umbrella academy x reader. “ i could never stay mad at you. “ [ gender neutral reader. ]

─ ✧ tua characters after / during an argument and want to apologize.

─ ✧ first fic !!! hoping it doesnt flop to hell :'o hi everyone im froyo and im obsessed with tua!! i also use they/them for klaus :]

@ ─ luther hargreeves ☂︎ number 1.

LUTHER quietly knocks on your door, hearing your voice say “ come in “ is his sign to walk in with an assortment of your favorite snacks. he had a weak smile that disappeared once he noticed the tears in your eyes after the argument, he places the snacks on a nearby table and slowly sits next to you on the bed to see if you'd move away. you didn't.

so he went with a long apology, explaining how he was wrong and that he was sorry that he hurt you. after it, he gave you a gentle kiss on your knuckles and hoped you forgave him. “ you're so sweet “

@ ─ diego hargreeves ☂︎ number 2.

DIEGO is a honest man, he wont lie to himself but he felt such a strong urge to prove that he was right in the argument. not realizing he began to hurt you in the process, and the second he realized ─ he stopped.

he notices the tears in your eyes when you looked away, balling your fists as you figured it was useless to argue. you turned your heel and before you could walk away, a gentle hand grabbed your wrist as you looked at diego. his face filled with regret. “ wait─ i want to apologize. “

@ ─ allison hargreeves ☂︎ number 3.

“ i heard a rumor that you- “ ALLISON covered her mouth in realization, watching your expression turn into one of betrayal. “ you promised not to rumor me. “ you sniffed, but allison was the one to run out the room.

once she was back into her room, she felt sick to her stomach. you were the one good thing allison has ever had in.. forever, so to betray your trust in that way had guilt piling up like no other.

after a few hours, allison had approached you while you rested on the couch of the living room. “ i can't get you to forgive me overnight.. but i can try to make things right to help fix us. “

@ ─ klaus hargreeves ☂︎ number 4.

KLAUS drowned out your arguing by covering their ears, muttering nonsense as you tried to get your point across. “ klaus please just listen─ “ you tried to reason, but they only pressed their hands against their ears even more. “ i'm only worried about you! why dont you understand that?! “ you snapped, tears in your eyes as klaus suddenly froze up in shock.

“ you.. are worried? “ they said softly, putting their hand on your cheek as you nod in their touch. “ i'm sorry.. so sorry. i didn't want to make you worry for me. “ klaus whispered, pressing their forehead against yours with a cheeky smile.

@ ─ five hargreeves ☂︎ number 5.

FIVE was a.. difficult man to get to know well. he avoided things that were too touchy or that involved attachment, so when you came into his life ─ it was hard to adjust to such things he avoided his entire life.

so this lead to arguments, mostly one sided on five's end since he was simply worried. “ what were you doing out there?! you could've seriously gotten hurt. “ he said worridly with a tint of frustration. “ i'm not weak, just cause i'm not like your superhero family doesn't mean i cant defend myself. “ you crossed your arms, but he grabbed you by the sides of your arms and looked straight into your eyes. “ exactly, you aren't like us! “ his face changed once he realized what that could be interpreted as.

you wanted to walk away but five's grip on you kept you in place, he rested his head on your shoulder and said nothing else. he was showing that he was vulnerable and could only show this side to you. five was bad at the whole relationship gig.. but you knew he was trying his best for you. “ i know you worry, but i can handle myself. okay? “ you sigh, patting his back as you pulled him into a hug. “ okay. “

@ ─ ben hargreeves ☂︎ number 6. [ if he were alive ]

it was less an argument, but you can tell the atmosphere was tense after the mission today. BEN was supposed to be scolded by reginald, but instead you took the blame for his mess up. “ i got in the way by being there, i distracted ben. “ you lied to the father of the hargreeves.

“ you're forbidden to see my children, especially ben. leave. “

and so the two have you started meeting in secret, however did not bring up the reason why you were doing this in the first place. causing an aura of silence whenever you two met up. “ why'd you have to take the blame, i could've handled it. “ ben murmurs, leaning on your shoulder as you smile down at him. “ but you dont want to get scolded, right? “ and your theory was confirmed when he didn't answer, but his hand squeezed yours. “ i'm sorry.. i just cant bare to see reginald do that to you. “ ben sighs as you plant a kiss on his forehead.

@ ─ viktor hargreeves ☂︎ number 7.

VIKTOR always distanced himself out of fear he'd get used, especially after what happened with leonard when he was younger. you always reassured him that you have nothing but love for the boy and he knows that you do, but his fears get the best of him at times. “ you aren't safe with me! “ viktor yells, but you only look at him sorrowfully, people have hurt him so much and gets treated like hes nothing.

“ vik.. “ you murmur, walking towards him slowly as he continued to mutter to himself while sobbing. you gently wrap your arms around him, leaning into his chest as you listen to his heart beat quickly, his breathing stabilizing as he began to relax in your touch. “ i'm sorry.. i'm so sorry, i didn't want to snap at you.. “

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"

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
