A/N: The last month was pretty busy so I couldn't write much but I had a cute lil thought about this while I was on the bus cuz of all the Five tiktoks on my fyp
"Honestly Five, your head isn't screwed on straight! No one in their right mind would put themselves at this much risk over and over again!" You shouted, voice almost hoarse and mouth dry as you continued to berate him, as you had since you arrived almost twenty minutes ago.
Your husband continued to ignore you, not even bothering to justify his reckless mission anymore and you continued to shout, waving your hands around in your helplessness and frustration.
Five Hargeeves was a great man but the one thing you absolutely detested about him was how he decided he had to do everything on his own. You were his partner, both in the commission and in his life, but he refused to trust you with his own matters.
To a certain degree, you could understand him. He was so anxious about saving his family, so tormented by their deaths hanging over him that he felt that unless he oversaw every single detail, it would all fall apart.
But just because you understood, didn't mean you appreciated your husband putting himself in harm's way when you could've helped him.
"Are you even listening to me?! Five! Your wife is here yelling at you, and you don't even have the decency to look her in the eye?!"
He didn't reply and you were stuck staring at his broad, blazer-clad shoulders.
Then he shifted, taking a deep breath and you heard the shaky breath he let out.
"Five?"
He finally turned, eyes glistening, cheeks wet and lip quivering and you felt so heartbroken at the sight of him that you felt your own tears prick at your eyes. You immediately closed the gap between you, "Oh, sweetheart."
You sat him down in the armchair, perching on his lap and letting him hide his face into your neck, peppering kisses to the crown of his head as he took some time to compose himself.
"I'm just—so tired." His voice cracked and you felt like your heart did as well, pulling away from him just enough so you could kiss his tears away.
"Shh, it's okay." You whispered, gently running your thumbs over the peak of his cheekbones. His hands were gripping your waist with the strength of a vice, nails digging into the flesh of your hips.
"What do you need, Five? Just give me the word and I'll make it happen." You told him, now more determined than anything to shoulder the pain he was feeling, "I would move the heavens and the earth to make you happy, my love. Tell me what you need."
He slumped over in defeat, pressing his forehead to yours, "You. Only you."
You sighed, now running your fingers through his hair. A part of you was disappointed that he was still unable to open up, another was unsurprised.

angst? Corniness? Cringey? OOC?
AUTHORS NOTE: THIS IS MY FIRST WRITING SO BEAR WITH ME AND MY BAD WRITING 💔
After the cleanse, all of you were surprisingly alive and well. The changes was that you all had no more powers or anything abnormal just ordinary people now. Although, you still saw how Five looked at Lila during the cleanse and how he treated her, you were… Envious. Jealous.
(although, you didn’t noticed that he gazed at you with a lovelorn gaze.)
You knew there was some spark or tension between Lila and Five. You doubted that at first during Obsidian Hotel, but now… It pains you how he cheated on you with his brother’s wife. Were you not good enough, what’s your relationship with him now after that.?
You cherished your relationship with Five, but he unfortunately grew out his love for you. Did he?
You gazed at him with a lovelorn gaze. His words were still ringing in your head.
FLASHBACK
"I’m sorry (name), but I grew out of love in our relationship." Five lied said.
"What.? I’m sure we can fix this relationship. Please—" You begged.
Five cuts you off, "I’m sorry, but I told you, we’re done. I’m sorry, (Name). I really am, but I don’t think this relationship is gonna work at all."
"Five.. I– Just please—" You begged, only to get cut off twice.
"(Name). I told you this isn’t gonna work out. We’re done." Five warned in an exhausted tone.
PRESENT
You, the family and Five were back in Diego’s house to celebrate Christmas properly…
You approached Five, although, Five already knew what you were about to ask. "(Name), we’re officially done. If that’s what you’re gonna ask."
You stayed silent, grieving inside. "So… Did you regret it.?" You bit the side inside of your cheek. Hoping for Five to say something you’d like.
There was a deafening silence around the both of you, Five then broke it. "No." He said with no remorse. He’s lying.
"Oh, I see… I understand and I respect your decision and response." You smiled as a sign of respect, not knowing what to reply with, although your heart strings were being tugged by the words and tones he used.
Every memory you had together with Five was running around your mind, the way he was with you during the whole mission… Was it all an act? Why did you even forgive him after he cheated on you? Will you ever move on?
A thousand questions were swirling around your head, you were heartbroken but you still have to smile. After all, you wouldn’t want to ruin the family’s Christmas evening?
You sat on the couch, wistfully self-conscious around the family, especially Five and Lila, after everything.
Until…
"That’s our cue!"
A diversity of Fives recklessly barged in the room, bringing chaos in the family’s Christmas evening. You were confused and surprised by the doppelgängers of Five.
On the other hand, Five was flabbergasted and speechless at the diversity of Fives he met yesterday in Max’s Delicatessen. The amount of chaos that was brought in the room.
"Dibs on (name)!" Waiter Five yelled out.
Waiter Five was elbowed by Brisket Five. "Fuck you, Waiter Five! They’re mine!" Brisket Five accused.
Waiter Five pushed Brisket Five. "Fuck you too! I’m having them first!" Waiter Five whined out.
Loose necktie Five blinks out of no where, blinking nearby (Name). "Not if I got them first!" He yelled out with a grin, reaching out to you.
"Oh no you don’t!" The rest of the Fives pulled Loose necktie Five away from you.
The scene was so chaotic, all Fives were itching, some were denying, some farting, some were thirsty and had the need to go take a piss, some had acute paranoia, uncontrollable perspiration, and some having homicidal rage.
The family was confused why there were a diversity of Fives.
"Woah, a diversity of Fives all wanting (Name)! This is the best Christmas ever." Klaus commented.
The original Five, he was irritated and agitated. He was about to stop all of them until all of them looked at (Name).
"Pick me!"
"No me!"
"You all are idiots, why would she ever choose you guys? Choose me."
"No me! They’re all idiots! I can treat you better!"
They all started bickering, Despite that they were all arguing, you decided to end the fight.
"I choose none of you!" You shouted. You had enough with Five, maybe it’s time to move on. Seeing a diversity of a man who cheated on you and lied to you multiple times made you irritated and agitated.
All the Fives were upset, some huffed, some respected your decision. They all left.
You finally moved on from Five.
FUTURE
It’s been two years since your break up with Five, you lived alone in your apartment with your pet cat, Miri.
— FIVE’S POV
Five took a deep breath, he was outside (name)’s apartment’s doorstep. It’s been a while, we both haven’t seen each other in a while. He hesitated to ring the doorbell, and then he got the courage and rang the doorbell.
For a few seconds, you didn’t answer, However, You opened the door and was surprised to see Five in your doorstep. "Five? Oh, uhh… Good morning?" You were still awkward and shy.
"Good morning." There was an undeniable deafening silence around the both of you for a while. "May I?" Five gestured inside.
You nodded and moved to the side. "Of course… Welcome yourself in."
Five went inside your apartment, your apartment was neat and nice, felt like home… He sat on the couch.
"Would you like some coffee?" You asked in a friendly manner.
Five hesitated, he thought about it for a moment and nodded hesitantly. "Sure… Why not."
You went to the kitchen to brew some coffee for Five.
Five may look calm, but in the inside, he was slightly panicking. He’s in his ex-girlfriend’s apartment. He still hasn’t moved on, he was harsh with you despite that he was harsh on you he was only doing that because he was afraid of breaking or showing any vulnerability. He still loves you.
He was zoning out, questions swirling around his head about you. He was zoned out until you snapped him out of it by handing him black coffee.
"Here’s your coffee." You were civil after everything, you must really moved on.
Five looked at the coffee in your hand and accepted the coffee. "Thanks, love." He didn’t realize what he said until he saw your reaction.
You were surprised with a raised eyebrow, perplexed by what Five blurted out. Five realized what he just blurted out and blushed slightly in embarrassment. "Sorry, it’s a habit."
The silence around both of you was so deafening for a minute. Five had a question in mind and finally had the courage to say it.
"So… (Name). About our relationship…" Five cuts shortly to set his gaze on you.
"What about our relationship?" (Name) questioned.
"Do you ever think we could get back together?" Five questions with a hesitant hoarse voice.
You looked at Five, unsure and perplexed about what he just told you. You took a moment to think. "I’ll think about it."
Five was anxious at what your answer would be. "Don’t worry, take your time."
You smiled at Five, thankful at his patience. "Then I’d need a lot of time to think. Just don’t treat yourself a stranger, Five."
Five felt his gut getting punched, he was too anxious. All he could do was smile and nod at you. How could he ever get back with you after everything he let you suffer through?
I'm immensely attached to this psycho this mf my comfort character, hello HUGE HUGE hyperfixation on TUA rn I love TUA and Five and yeah TUA and Five have taken over my brain I fear!!
