Context: After the the Hargreeves saved the world from the apocalypse, Five still hadn’t recovered from his years living alone. He never slept well so always drowned himself in coffee to keep energised, until he met you.
Froth swirled in the untouched cup of black coffee, looking like a hurricane coming over to attack. You heard Five sigh, placing his mug of now cold coffee onto your side table, you glance over at Five. He was sat with his back against the wall with his head tilted back, exposing his adams apple and the pale skin of his neck, his eyes lazily scanned the softly lit room, he appreciated the neatness and the calm it radiated. The room in question, your room, had cream coloured walls with random drapes of fairy lights and burst of pictures and posters, it was homely, just stepping into the room felt like the weight was lifted from Fives shoulders and replaced with a warm blanket. Not too mention the atmosphere was just right, music softly playing in the background and not to mention a more than welcoming bed, the softest bed Five had ever laid down on.
“When you asked me to come over I didn’t think you’d be doing your work.” he whined, flattening out the sheets next to him with his hands. “I though we we’re gonna, you know? Cuddle and sleep like we always do.” He says with slight annoyance, looking at you with puppy dog eyes. “Y/N.” He dragged out the last syllable of your name.
You finish the final part of your work, making sure to lay your pen down with enough force to make a small noise as it makes contact with the word filled paper. “Ok so I’m sure you invited yourself here and you know I’ve got to finish my work on Friday nights so I get a free weekend.” You watch as his shoulders sink and he puts on his best pouty face. You just could’t keep a straight face watching him put this act on for some attention, a smirk came over Fives face full well knowing that he’d won you over.
Making your way over to him on your bed, you gently kiss the side of his neck and pull him down onto your bed, your limbs were intwined and you get comfy; you both sink down into the comfort of the bed, hearing him sigh with content, you smile, wondering how you got so lucky.
In the background, I Wanna Be Adored by the Stone Roses came on, you softly hummed the tune, aimlessly drawing patterns on Fives hands that were wrapped round your waist, he sunk his head into the crook or your neck, feeling his soft breaths against the base of your neck, slow and calm. Five slowly loosened his grip as he drifted off to sleep, holding you in his arms.
‘I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be adored. I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be adored. You adore me’ You smile at the lyrics of the song, running a hand through Fives hair, letting the promising drowsiness of sleep take over your body, putting you into a trance.
The next day, you walk hand in hand with Five back to the Academy almost skipping ahead of him talking excitably about everything new you learnt that week, he would hum in agreement and swing your interlocked hands almost childlike.
Nearing the doors of the Academy, Five turned too you. “Come inside with me?” He squeezed your hand. “We’ve got to be quite going in though, I don’t think they know I was out last night.”
“Maybe okay can be our always.” He raised his eyebrows jokingly, you giggled, lightly hitting his arm.
“Shut up.” You say as he beams down at you, pulling you towards the door and placing a finger against his lips before gently opening the door to the Academy, he pulled you in front of him before closing the doors.
You both quietly make your way towards the carpeted stairs attempting to avoid any hard surfaces, until the floor betrays you, creaking loudly. You looked at Five mumbling a quick ‘shit’.
Before taking another step a voice spoke up from the other room. “Five, is that you?” Footsteps echoed throughout the empty hallways until a head popped out from around the corner. “Five, what time do you call- oh!” The mans eyes landed on you, suddenly stopping his sentence.
“I’m Y/N, I’m a friend of Fives.” You give a warm smile, hoping to receive one back.
“Diego.” He said firmly, eyeing you up and then his eyes land on your interlocked fingers. “And I think you look a bit more than friends.” Your face went red, quickly releasing your grasp on Fives hand and placing them in your pocket. You all stood in an uncomfortable silence, you feel Five place a hand on your back.
“Thank you Diego for your observation, good to see you’re not blind. Now, if you don’t mind we’ll be going upstairs now.” He gave a shit eating grin to Diego before beginning to lead me towards the stairs.
“Not so fast, you still need to explain why you weren’t here last night. You know you can’t just run off.” You feel Five lower the hand resting on your back with a loud sigh he looks from you to Diego.
“I was at y/n’s house, I don’t think you realise how claustrophobic this house and all of you can be. It’s suffocating.” Five looks at his brother, hoping Diego would understand.
“We’re going upstairs now.” Five interrupted Diego. Grabbing your hand Five lead you upstairs quickly taking two steps at a time.
He pulled you into his room and firmly shut the door, he embraced you, resting his head down on your shoulder. You leant into his grip, ever since you first met Five he loved any form of contact that you guys had and took any opportunity to be held or shown some affection. Pulling you onto his bed you look at the scribbles on his wall, complicated maths and physics equations constantly confused you, it always did and whenever you’d question Five about it he’d just shrug it off and call it his drunken scribblings.
“I’m sorry.” Five spoke in a soft voice. “My siblings just don’t know when to just back off sometimes.” He played with your fingers as he spoke. You smile looking down at his show of affection.
“It’s okay, I mean if my sibling didn’t come home or tell me where they’d gone I’d be pretty worried. I think it just shows how much they care about you.” He hummed in agreement, you could see where Diego was coming from being worried about Five not telling him where he was.
Five yawned loudly, stretching his arms out around you. “You know Five, since I met you I swear all you do is sleep.” You smile at him, pushing his fringe out of his eyes.
“I’m just not drinking as much coffee anymore.” He said matter-o-factly. “I used to not be able to sleep very well so I’d just drink a lot of coffee to keep myself awake but I guess I just don’t have to anymore. I’ve been sleeping really well recently when I’ve been with you.” You smile as you feel him gently press a kiss to the side of your head. You smile contently, beginning to close your eyes, his heartbeat sounding like sweet music to your ears.
“Five, do you have a girl in your room?” A distance voice was heard echoing through the academy.
“Shit.” He mumbled into your hair, you knew it was going to be a long day in the Academy.
