You walked into the little donut shop on your way to meet your best friend Vanya. She loved this place as a kid and you wanted to see her get that happy nostalgic smile when she thinks of all the nights she spent here as a kid. They were some of her better memories. You never met any of her family but she told you that they were a rowdy bunch. And you believed her.
You sat at the counter with a copy of Les Fleurs du mal. Poetry. It was something that you could pick up and read when you needed to pass the time and as you waited for your very simple order of two glazed donuts, a coffee, and a black tea, it kept your mind from drifting. For some reason there was this dark haired kid at the other end of the counter staring at you, breaking your focus.
"French poetry?" The boy finally asked. "Is it in the original language or are you one of those girls who likes to look foreign and smart? Because you don't look like one of those girls trying to be smart. You look like you are smart."
You sigh though your nose and sit straighter on your stool. "I learned French before I learned English so if you are smart you'd assume it's in French." You go to pick up the book again.
"That only answered one of my questions sweetheart." He smirks and you almost hit him.
"Listen I don't know who you think you are or why my intelligence is any of your business but I'd appreciate if you just let me get my order and leave before you embarrass yourself or worse me." You sass as a response.
"Oh? Feisty are we?" He says, leaning over the spot between the two of you. He's studying you. You know this. So you study him. "What instrument?" He asks, pointing at the small case behind you.
This completely catches you off guard but you try your best to recover quickly. "What?"
"What instrument do you play?" He repeats. "Violin correct? My sister plays."
"Actually cello but my friend talked me into trying the violin. Speaking of her, I should go." You say side-eyeing the bag the lady sets in front of you.
"Wait!" The boy jumps up and grabs your hand, you pull your hand from him and pick up the violin case.
You look at him expectantly.
"Go on a date with me." He half-plead.
"No. I-I can't. I'd like to but I'm already late. Maybe another time." You smile.
As quickly as you can manage you rush out of the shop and finish your journey to your friends apartment. You walk up the stairs to the second floor and knock twice. That's all it took for Vanya to appear and let you in.
"Hey I'm sorry about this but I have to go to the academy today. We'll have to save your violin lesson for another day." Vanya blurts.
"Vanya it's okay!" You chirped, "How about we eat first then head over? I could drive?"
"You sure? My family might have questions you don't want to answer." She rubs her sleeves together. Her cardigan was a size too big. It was probably one of yours.
"Yes, Vanya, you could use some back up with them. I'm perfect for that!" You beam.
"What are you going to do? Turn invisible?" She laughs as she pulls out her donut.
"Well," You smile, "I can also read minds, I could throw something at them if they're mean to you." You float your cup towards you as a demonstration.
"Remind me again how you got here?" She grumbled.
"You mean being 19 and having powers like you?" Vanya nods, though a mouthful of her breakfast. "All I remember is a white room. There was this other girl but I guess they liked her more. Instead of killing me when I was seven they gave me to an adoption agency in 2008. That's really all I remember." You glance at Vanya as she thinks.
"I should've told you this sooner but your a year and a half younger then one of my brothers." She smiles mischievously.
"I though you hated all of your brothers?" You question.
"Yeah, I do, but this one is not half bad. Little snarky but I know you and I know him and you could put him in his place!" Vanya cheers as she stands to get ready.
"Vanya I tell you this every time. I don't date people." You say, leaning on the door frame.
"Well you're in luck (Y/n)! Neither does he!!" She teased.
"Vanya you're my best friend and you know I'd do anything for you but I am not going out with your brother." You say, grabbing your keys and heading out the door with Vanya on your heals.
"We'll see." She giggles to herself.
At the grand entrance of the Academy, you stood taking the expensive antique furniture thinking of how Vanya turned out the way she did.
"Who invited the bomb?" Her bulkier brother questioned.
"I did." Her sister says. "Vanya!" She hugs Vanya and you stand awkwardly behind her, waiting to be introduced.
"Oh! Right... Allison this is my friend, (Y/n). We were in the middle of a practice when you called." Vanya explains.
"Well it is very nice to meet you (Y/n). I'm Allison. The rude one is Luther. The high one in my skirt is Klaus. Diego is in all black and..." She trails off in though.
"And I am Five." The boy from the donut shop smirks when you turn to face him. You assumed you masked your shock poorly.
"You. The boy from..." You point.
"Yeah it's so nice to see you again too Sweetheart." He uncrossed his arms and walked to the living room.
You followed behind Vanya and Allison.
You sat in between Vanya and Klaus, half listening to the "family meeting." It was a lot of Five talking and the rest giving input. Something about alternate timelines. It wasn't until Diego spoke that you sat up and paid more attention.
"Well Vanya brought her into this!" He provoked, "She doesn't even have powers!"
You look at Vanya, who just looks away as she rubs her neck. "Actually..." She trails off.
"Actually what?" Luther jumps in.
You stood up "Actually!" You pull a book off a shelf from across the room, startling everyone.
Five smirks as he nods at you, the rest are to embarrassed that you stood up to them.
"I can also read minds so if you could stop thinking of me as a burden I'd greatly appreciate it." You reveled.
"Okay so she's in!"Five concludes and with that the meeting disbands.
You find yourself looking at family portraits and notice that Vanya isn't in any of them.
"So French poetry?" A voice startles you and you turn invisible before you can stop it.
"Invisibility?" Five crosses his arms again.
"Sorry. I-you scared me. That one is a bit more of a reflex. And my head hurts from mind reading for the past two hours." You admit.
"How about we explore your powers a bit more over some coffee? For your headache?" Five offers.
You smile and look over his shoulder to see Vanya lurking in a corner, watching you interact with him.
"Um," You think, making eye contact with Vanya, who gives you a thumbs up. "Sure if it'll get you to stop staring at me." You whisper.
