(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey, stop moving!" I hiss softly in annoyance when Five flinched away from alcohol when I tried to clean the blood off. The both of us were in our bedroom back at Elliot's place after Diego drove like a madman to get us back. Now I was holding The Boy in front of me cause this ass did not know how to sit still! "Five!" I snap sharply, standing up straight after and groaning in pain from bending over to help clean him up. The cuts were deep but not too deep that they didn't need stitches.

Going to leave a mark though.

"I'll be fine." he rolls his eyes and I sit down on the bed in front of him, grabbing his face and tilting his head to clean the rest of the blood off from the wound. "(y/n)!" he growls at me and I narrow my eyes at him before putting on the gauze and medicinal tape.

"Move." I order Five to shift up further on the bed and I grab the bowl of warm water with a clean cloth, wringing out the excess water to wipe the blood off his neck and shoulders. I try not to focus on the fact that he was shirtless now, his clothes needed a wash to get rid of the blood. His skin was oddly hot against my fingertips, his chest rising up and down frantically. I blush heavily when droplets of water run down his body and I wipe them away which makes him shudder, trying to ignore his heated stare on me. I almost succeeded but he suddenly grabs my chin and tilts my head up sharply, my breath hitching from how close our faces were. "Five-" he suddenly pulls me closer and I lose my balance, grabbing hold of his shoulders and kneeling above him before I could knock my head against his by accident.

He doesn't say anything and simply looks at me, his soft green eyes staring up at me and making me flush. His other hand leans up to brush my hair away gently, almost as if he was afraid to touch me. I look away, unable to look at him and completely flustered by his stare. I try to move away but he held my waist tightly so I couldn't leave and my eyes widened when I feel his fingers brush down my neck. I immediately turn red, shuddering softly and I quickly grab his hand to pull away from him. I sit back on my heels in front of him as he just stares at me but with a frown this time.

"You should rest-"

"-you have blood on your clothes." I look down to see little splatters on my shirt and the blazer, sighing in annoyance at another thing needing to be washed.

"Right... Go to sleep. I'll ask Elliot if he can get these washed." I stand up and take the blazer off, moving to take my shirt off as well but I hiss when I feel my earring get tugged on. "Shit-" I tried to find where the fabric got stuck but I gasp when I feel someone pull me towards them by my hips, their shadow looming over me.

"Stay still." I hear Five say to me, standing still as he asked and his hands carefully unravelling the thread from my earring.

He takes my shirt off and my heart races from how close he was and the fact that I was only in my singlet and tights in front of him, him only wearing sweatpants. He drops the shirt and it lands in a soft thud, making me jump from the sound and from his hands holding my hips. He looks down at me with this unrecognisable look in his eyes and I couldn't handle the heat, my breathing get shaky when he pulls me closer to him with his hands on my bare back beneath the singlet. His touch on my back, his fingers brushing against the middle of my spine made my head spin. I held my arms and turned to look away as he stepped closer, breathing out when he leans his head closer to my neck.

"Five..." I stutter out as he wraps his arm around me completely now, tugging me closer and I hold his chest when I bump into him. "Wait-" my voice was barely a whisper, feeling him nuzzle his nose against my neck and breathe me in softly. I had no control of my body when he pulls me forward towards the bed, him sitting down and pulling me to kneel over him before he pressed his lips against my neck. I immediately melt in his arms, sighing softly as he runs his tongue against my neck and my shoulder to lick up the small droplets of blood. I was lost in his heat, letting my hands thread through his hair as he hums out against my neck and I sigh in bliss. I tilt my head more for him as my hands ran down his neck and I immediately snap out of my haze when I felt the gauze. "Shit-I can't-!" I scramble off Five and take a few steps away from him, my heart thundering in my chest as my hands shook.

"(y/n)-"

"-just go to sleep Five!" I exclaim and he frowns, shaking as I picked up my shirt from the floor.

"(y/n)- he reaches out for me but pulls his hand back when I quickly get a change of clothes and rush to hide in the bathroom. I lean my back against the door, my body burning hot and I decide to take a shower to clean off to get rid of today off my skin. I dry off once I was done and put on my pjs, peeking my head out into the bedroom to see that it was dark now except for the light filtering from the living room. I saw that Five had gone to bed now, laying on his side off from his wound so he had his back to me. I purse my lips and crept towards the bed, settling in beneath the blankets and I lay on my side to keep my distance from him. I sigh softly and close my eyes to sleep, trying to figure out what just happened between us.

"I can't believe Dad tried to fucking shank me!" 

I groan softly as I walk out of the bedroom after being woken up by someone complaining, rubbing my eyes and stopping in the living room to see Lila and Diego sitting on the couch together.

"Oh, you're still here?" I jump when Five suddenly appears next to me, fixing the cuffs of his now clean white shirt.

"Disappointed?" Lila raises a brow and he smirks back sarcastically.

"To see you? Always."

"So much hostility in such a tiny package."

"You've only just scratched the surface." I croak softly with a smile and Five looks at me. I couldn't read his expression and I flush when he doesn't look away.

"You're up." he says with a soft tone, placing a hand on top of my head. "Thought you would sleep in a bit more." he simply says before walking off to make himself some coffee.

Is that it!?

Are we not going to talk about what happened last night!?

I shake my head and head back to the bathroom to freshen up, coming out of the bedroom in new clothes when I almost missed the snoring. I look into the darkroom to see Elliot fast asleep but still in the chair he was tied up in yesterday. "You didn't untie him?" I gasp out, looking at Lila since she was the one to stay here to look after him.

"Was I supposed to?" I sigh out and go shake Elliot awake. 

He snorts and looks around in a daze when I start to untie him. "Huh, what's going on?" He blinks and nods off back to sleep, snoring peacefully.

"Honestly same my guy." I cover Elliot in a blanket after removing the ropes from him. I walk back to the living room and I blink in surprise when Five hands me a cup of tea. I look down at it and then at him as he drank his coffee. "Five... last night-"

"-did you cut yourself shaving? I could teach you to shave like a big boy." Lila cuts me off and I just sigh in defeat.

He probably won't even talk about it.

"No, I just ran into an old family friend." Five sighs out before walking away.

The morning was an awkward one where I technically avoided the little assassin since he was too busy ordering Elliot around to get a specific machine for him. He was blinking in and out of the house with material to build this thing and I stayed out of the way in the bedroom. I didn't know what else to do except that. Especially when we had extra days before doomsday.

I groan and get up from bed after setting the book I was reading down, deciding to get some food and I leave the bedroom to head to the kitchen. "Shit-" I suddenly bump into someone, apologising profusely and I look up to see it was the one person I was trying to avoid.

Five Hargreeves.

"Sorry." He walks away but I quickly grab his shirt, making him stop and I quickly let go when I realised what I did. He looks at me softly, waiting.

"Just come with me..." I pull on his cuff and lead him into the closet, shitting the door so no one would barge into our conversation. "Look, last night-"

"-I won't do it again. I understood loud and clear and I won't step over your boundaries-"

"-it's not that! Well maybe, but let me talk first!" I exclaim, slapping a hand over my mouth when I realised I was yelling at an ex-commissioner. He raises a brow at me but lets me speak. "Last night, the diner, the bathroom..." I gulp, flushing red when I think about it. I almost miss the smirk on Five's face and I look away to hide my red cheeks.

"You didn't mind it, did you?" He whispers but I couldn't bring myself to answer back. My eyes widen when I feel his hands hold my waist and I look up at him.

"No, but-" my breath hitches when he holds my chin and tilts my head up, shuddering when I feel his lips brush against my neck. "We can't."

"We can't or you can't?" He mumbles out and I place my hands on his chest to push him back gently, him moving away when he understood and lets me go.

"We can't..." he looks at me with pursed lips, eyes flitting across my face and I couldn't read his expression. I don't know he wanted to know why it wouldn't ask at all. "I can't." I whisper and he nods, dropping his head against my shoulder like he was just tired.

I can't get close to him any more. Not like this. Not at all.

Not when I have to leave and go back home.

I love him as a character but I can't take advantage of him.

It's not fair to him.

I can't hurt him when I leave.

The door to the closet suddenly opens and we jump away from each other. "And that's where Klaus is. He's here in town crashing at some old lady's house and Allison is looking for him after her husband got arrested." I blurt out and Five raises a brow at me.

"Klaus is here?" Diego asks by the doorway and I nod, brushing past him to leave the closet with Five following behind me. "What were you two doing in here?"

"None of your business!" Five and I call out, separating ways but we smile at each other before walking away.
