This was torture. This was absolutely fucking torture.

Aidan was losing his goddamn mind and so was (y/n). She was so close to breaking being stuck indoors which shocked her since she didn't mind but this public lockdown was eating the couple alive.

"I'm going fucking crazy!" the brunette jumps when his love barges into his room, exclaiming with her hair a mess when she slammed his hotel room open. It looked like she was running her hands through her hair multiple times, panting like she had been pacing. "This is killing me! I can't take it anymore!" she withers to the floor once she closed the door behind her, the boy absolutely gobsmacked that his girlfriend felt like this.

If she felt trapped indoors, it was bad. Real bad.

"And that's saying something since you're a homebody." he muses as he walks over to her while she turns on her back, him grabbing her arms to help her stand up again. She noticed the exhaustion in her boyfriends eyes, the dull look of losing his creativity without being able to go outside.

This wasn't good.

"Let's go outside." He looks at her like she was nuts with that suggestion.

"You know we can't!"

"We can sneak out again!"

"And get caught with the security guards set for us, who if you forgot, caught us last time we snuck out?"

"They won't expect it now. It's been weeks! Aidan please." he thinks it over, looking outside and he really did want to leave the hotel room.

"Ok." he chuckles softly as his love fist pumps the air in excitement. "But how are we going to sneak away?"

"Let me take care of that. You were the one that got us caught last time."

"No I did not!"

"Yes you did! I have a special talent of being invisible ya know." (Y/n) muses, thinking of a plan. She rushes out to change into a simple hoodie in her hotel room, grabbing a chemist branded bag and stuffing in some unopen pads. She takes a pic of that and then heads down to the cafe to take a picture of herself and the bag before rushing back to her boyfriends room. "Ok, I'll just lie that I need to go to the chemist and if they ask for proof, I'll send them the picture. I'll pretend to go, wait for you at the cafe just around the end of the street."

"But how am I supposed to meet up with you?" Aidan asks.

"I'll send the guards the picture of me at the hotel cafe. Ill tell them I'm heading back up to my room and then they will let you leave."

"I don't know (y/n)..."

"Just say you're going for a walk or something. You never know until we try."

"...ok! Lets do it!"

"Yes! See you in an hour?"

"It's a date beautiful." the brunette winks at his love and she smiles brightly, his heart fluttering when she kisses his cheek and runs off to get ready. The couple quickly dressed up for each other, actioning the plan exactly.

(y/n) snuck out and speed walked to the cafe, heading inside and waited for her boyfriend to come find her. She made sure she was presentable when she suddenly felt something soft on her cheeks. She looks up and grins as Aidan kissed her cheek before putting his mask back on, taking hold of her hand quickly as they rushed out of the cafe and running away to do whatever they wanted to do. They had the whole day and night together, to finally spend time outside.

The brunette felt a weight lift off his chest when he saw how happy his girl was, beaming ecstatically with new found energy again.

The couple did everything together imaginable, going to a cafe, visiting an amusement park, going for a walk in the park, visit a zoo or an aquarium, going to an arcade, hiking up a hill to watch the sunset for all times sake before the night fun began. It was full of bar and restaurant hopping, having ice cream at a food truck, crashing a comedy show together, bowling, seeing a movie, playing laser tag before walking through the park again to stargaze. 

The couple dropped to lay on the grass next to each other, cuddling into each other as they watched the stars like they used to before. Music was playing softly from Aidan's phone as he pulled (y/n) close, kissing the top of her head until a ring rang out.

"What is it?" she anxiously chewed on her bottom lip as he opened the message, relaxing when she saw a smile grow on his face.

"Our quarantine is over! Everything is going back to normal from tomorrow!"

"Hell yeah!" he gasps when his love jumps on him to hug him, holding her tight with a smile.

"We should start heading back though. We have an early day on set tomorrow."

"Alright, sounds good." the couple get up and walk back to their hotel, their entwined hands swinging back and forth between them. They snuck back into the brunettes bedroom, avoiding the guards from catching them. "We actually snuck out! I can't believe it-" he cuts his love off with a kiss, pulling her close by her hips to kiss her passionately and she melts against him with a soft moan as her hands hook around his neck.

"You make me so happy." he breathes out when he pulls back from the heated kiss, dazed and high on his love who beams at him while she caresses his cheeks. "I don't know what I would've done without you." he melts against her as she kisses him, pulling him back with her towards his bedroom.

"Be stuck in this hotel room..." she muses cheekily and he smirks down at her.

"Is that right lovely?" she nods, giggling when he picks her up and spins her around. "Only you can make me break the rules. You're a dangerous woman."

"Mhm, but you like it."

"Fucking right I do."

"And... action!"

Five sighs as he runs his hands down his face, rubbing his neck while he walked towards the one bar that looked like it was still open this late at night. He walked in, pulling his tie loose and dropping himself at the bar. He was close to just giving up, close to just ending the whole mission and just let it go. He was sick and tired of all this. Just so... so fucking tired.

"Shit day?" he hears a soft voice almost as if they were afraid of being too loud to annoy him or piss him off and he was thankful for the soft tone. His head was ringing and he had a major headache. He looks up and blinks in surprise to see that girl again, the one that was sleeping under a tree and called him a pretty boy. "Ah, back again huh." she nods to the bourbon and he nods.

"I guess so..." even his voice was tired, soft and exhausted.

(y/n) saw the mans shoulders hunch over and sag, like this invisible weight crushing him and she frowned. She had never seen someone look so burdened before and she wondered how he managed to even keep going. She got the bourbon and poured him a glass, wiggling her fingers in front of his view to let him know his drink was in front of him. She didn't talk, knowing he was too tired to make conversation.

Before the man could say anything, (y/n) took out her phone to type on for him to read. "On the house." he had a look of surprise on his face but lifts his lips up for a small quirk of a smile. "Thank you," he looks at her name tag and nods. "(y/n). Cheers." he salutes her and somehow his smile widens when she chuckles softly. He drank his bourbon while he watched her clean the empty bar, silently putting things back as best she could to not disturb him.

He liked this... not the silence... just the peace, and the peace of mind that someone was accompanying him. Three glasses in and he felt better, warmer and more willing to talk but he didn't know how. He didn't want to break the silence, didn't want to ruin the perfectly good moment the two of them had and he just watched her. Waiting for when she would look at him again.

"You good?" she asks him when she turns around and he almost freezes, clearing his throat to speak.

"I... yes. I'm Five."

"As in the number?" she blinks in surprise and he chuckles lightly, nodding. "So what, you were the fifth kid your parents had or what?" this makes him snort lightly as he finished another glass.

"Something like that... anyway," he shakes his head to change the subject. "Thank you."

"For what?" she tilts her head in confusion and he subconsciously does the same.

"Just... this... the drink and the quiet..." she smiles at him.

"Not much of the quiet unfortunately. I can shut up-"

"-no, its fine. Not as irritating as I thought it would be."

(y/n) rolls her eyes with a smile but continues working. The two were back into the silence again and Five had enough. After half a dozen or so drinks in him, he goes up to the girl while she was starting to pack up her bag to go home. She looks up at him as he holds his hand out to her and she was completely confused.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" she looks down at his palm that had old calluses and scars. He shakes his head and gently holds her hand in his, pulling her to the middle of the bar. She understood what he wanted and blushed heavily. "I don't know how to dance..."

"Doesn't matter..." Five just wanted her close, to have someone close, to have someone to hold and to hug. (y/n) let him guide her hands to hold his shoulder and entwine with his while he held her waist gently before guiding her into a simple dance. They swayed side by side gently while she kept her eyes down to make sure she didn't step on his shoes but he didn't like that, reaching down to hold her chin and tilt her head up to look at him. "Eyes on me. You're doing fine..." he whispers as she looks at him with wide eyes, him enjoying her shudder when he runs his fingers down her neck from her chin to hold her waist again.

He couldn't explain the racing in his heart when she leaned her head against his chest, moving her arms to loop around his neck. She was trying to avoid looking at him but he didn't mind, wrapping his arms around her softly to hold her close, swaying with her in the peace and quiet.

"And cut!"

Aidan didn't let go of (y/n) as the music continued to play over them, lost in the feeling of holding his love in his arms. He never wanted to be away from her, holding her tighter and leaning his forehead against the top of her head.

He couldn't care less that people were complimenting him for the scene, everything he felt as Five, everything he felt for (y/n) was true. In every frame, in every word, in every character he acted, in every version of him possible. He was all hers always and forever.
