(y/n) - your name

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

"Do you miss it?" I ask and Five looks down in confusion at me as his thumb rubs circles on my waist.

"Miss what, love?"

"The problem solving gang and the fight for survival against the apocalypse?"

We were walking through the city streets to head back home after window shopping or being real tourists with certain apparently famous architecture and sculptures. The both of us spent the last two weeks or so visiting all the tourist spots or me showing him places that were part of my life. We went to Luna Park, went on a cruise, visited the night markets, karaoke places, bars, museums and went shopping in large malls. We went to different suburbs but we visited my home again to see my mum and my sister after I showed him where I used to go to school or where I used to work before.

Five doesn't say anything for a bit, thinking over my question as we walked through a large park with the night sky over us. I stop for a bit, looking up to watch the stars twinkle and shine as best as they could against our city lights.

My sweet assassin grabs my attention when he moves to hold my chin to have me look at him. "No... no I don't miss running against worlds ending but..."

"But?" I ask and he sighs.

"I'm becoming a miserable sap," I chuckle at my boyfriend. "I do miss my family." I frown lightly at his words, wrapping my arms around his waist to hug him. "But I'm also glad to live a normal life. No more apocalypses, no more fighting to survive, no more supervillains or bad guys. I've been... so tired... for so long..."

Five takes in a deep breath and lets everything go, as if letting go all the anxiety and worry and fear and the impending doom of the world surviving on his shoulders. I understood that he was exhausted. Rightly so. He had lived long enough in a world where there was constant fight for survival. He needed a break. A long one. He needed his retirement.

"You've been fighting for your entire life..." I whisper sadly against his chest. "I'm so sorry..."

"(Y/n), why are you apologising sweets? You did nothing wrong." He chuckles softly, hugging me back tightly as he kisses the top of my head.

"I know... but I feel terrible for not being able to help. For not being able to help you."

"You're helping now and you've helped plenty. You have nothing to worry about now." I feel terrible and hug him tighter which makes him worry as he rubs my back and. Brushes my hair back to try and get a glimpse of me. "What's wrong (y/n)? What's going through that pretty mind of yours?"

I bury my head against his chest with guilt. "I... kinda miss being back there..." Five doesn't say anything, letting me continue. "I don't have a purpose here... living a life that I wasted away day by day, with nothing to show for it... But being back there, in your universe... I had a reason there." he leans back from me, his lips pursed as he looks down at me.

"(y/n), you went through so much, things that no one should go through at all, back there. Why would you-"

"-I know, I know. I just don't want to fall back into my misery now that I'm back home... I don't want to feel dead again... I felt alive, trying to survive in your world. I was so busy and it kept my brain preoccupied but now... I don't want to push you away Five, like I did with my family and friends..." he frowns, catching onto the hint and holds my face as I lean into his hold.

"Why didn't you tell me that you felt like this? How long have you-"

"-no one knows... I made sure no one knew, I didn't want anyone to know because I thought-" I shake my head and he pulls me into a tight hug.

"-I'm not going anywhere. No matter how much you push me away, I'm not leaving you."

"Five-"

"-I may not have my powers and there might not be an apocalypse we have to fight against, but I promise you that I'll keep you happy. If you'll have me that is." I flush at Five's words, nodding as I look at him and he smiles.

He kisses my forehead and brushes his fingers against my cheeks. "I'm glad you're here Five, I mean it. I want to live my life with you..." I mutter bashfully and he blushes at my words this time.

"I've never been in love with anyone as much as I am with you (y/n)..." I blink in surprise at his words.

"Not even Dolores?"

"Don't ruin the moment." I laugh as Five groans at me. "But yes, more than with Dolores..."

"I'm sorry." I grin at him with my hands up in defeat. "You're the only one I will forever love Five. I haven't loved anyone more than I would ever love you."

"That's because I'm your first boyfriend."

"Who's ruining the moment now!" Five laughs happily, entwining his hands with mine and leaning down to kiss me. I melt against him, him moving my hands around him as he let me go to hold my cheeks. He steps closer to me as I grip the back of his shirt, his hands cupping my jaw to kiss me deeper.

I hum softly to the music playing through the room and the open balcony door, sitting out on lawn chairs and taking in some sun. I was doing some work on my laptop, going through some emails and reading documents my work sent me over to check. Five was, well, he was where he was. Said he had some things he wanted to do.

"I wanna stay right in this moment for life. Baby treat me wrong, treat me right.

"Ay ay ay, aye. Just can't stop dancing."

I sing softly, stretching in my seat and grabbing my phone to text my boyfriend, asking where he was. "Hey sweetheart." I smile when I hear him before I feel him kiss my shoulder, moving to kiss my neck and I hum softly. He leans his chin against my shoulder and pecks my cheek, playing with my glasses while he looked at what I was doing.

"Hey, what have you been up to?" I ask, looking behind me to see him carrying a laundry basket with some clothes in them and I raise a brow at him.

"Went to pick up our clothes."

"I could've gotten them if you needed them to be picked up-" Five cuts me off with a quick kiss.

"I'm perfectly capable (y/n)."

"But-" he kisses me again, deeper this time as he holds my face and I let out a shuddered gasp.

"Don't argue with me. You were busy and I had time to grab them." He mutters between kisses and I blush at the thought of Five seeing my clothes. He moves away with a smile, pecking my lips once more before walking back inside the hotel room. I watch as he sorted through the clothes, smirking at me when he picked up my bra.

I gasp and stand up, rushing to shove him away from my clothes. "Give that to me!" Five grins mischievously as he jumps away from my hands, holding my bra above his head. "Five! Come on!" I was red with embarrassment as I tried to grab it from his hands but he kept moving away from me. "You're an ass." I huff as I turn around to quickly separate my clothes from him, folding them neatly and then doing the same for his.

"I'm sorry." Five hands me my bra, wrapping his arms around me from behind. I could feel his pout against my neck and I stay giving him the silent treatment. "(y/n), talk to me please." he whines but I shrug his arms off me to put our clothes back in the wardrobe. I bite down on my lip to stop me from smiling when I hear him asking me to talk to him. "I'm sorry, please say something." I don't even acknowledge him but he didn't like that, turning me around and pulling me into his arms. I crossed my arms and look away and he sighs with a pout. "Please talk to me." he begs, moving down to kiss my neck and I try to hold my resolve. My asshole of a boyfriend moves to suck on my neck, littering bites all over me and I let out a shudder.

"Five..." I break when he bites down on a sensitive spot, whimpering from the curl of his lips against my neck knowing I broke my resolve for him.

"That's it sweetheart." he coos softly and I hold his arms as he sinks his teeth against my collarbone, his hands running over my thighs beneath my nightgown.

"You can't just-" Five pulls my hips flush against his, littering kisses all over my neck as he tsks.

"Can't just what, my love?" he hums, finally leaning back to take in my flushed appearance.

"You can't just kiss me every time I get angry or annoyed-" I get cut off again when he kisses me deeper, his hands pushing my nightgown up and holding me tight against him by my waist. I moan softly as I grip his hair, feeling him smiling the kiss before he slowly moves away from my lips. "Like that..." I breathe out heavily, dazed a bit in his arms and he holds me up while chuckling softly

"But it works, doesn't it." he pecks my lips, smirking and I smack his chest.

"You really are an ass." I huff, trying to calm down my blush but Five kisses my cheeks before letting me go.

"You love me for it." he chuckles and I go to grab my stuff from outside and bring it inside, closing the balcony doors to lock it. "Are you doing anything tonight?" My boyfriend suddenly asks and I stop for a moment, thinking.

"Hmm, not really. Nothing urgent anyway. Just emails and documents to read over which can be done tomorrow." I shrug, putting my devices on charge. "Why?" I look at Five and he clears his throat, almost as if he was nervous as he fiddles with his fingers.

He's... really cute right now. It's adorable how nervous he is!

"Well... I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me tonight?" the tips of his ears turn pink as he flushes and I coo at how adorable he looked right now.

"Five 'The Boy' Hargreeves, are you asking me out on a date right now?" I raise a brow, smirking at how nervous he was.

"Yes, yes I am." he sighs in exaggeration but smiles at me. "So what will it be (y/f/n)? Yes or Yes?" I laugh at his question which makes him smile brighter.

"Yes, I would love to go out with you Five."

"The first yes or second yes-"

"-just yes! Yes for both!" he chuckles, grabbing my hands and kissing them.

"I'll pick you up in a few hours then? Around 7?" I nod and Five beams happily before running off to god knows where. He stops before he leaves the hotel room and runs back to me to kiss my cheek, saying a quick goodbye again and dashing off out of our room.

This adorable boy.

I tap my fingers to the beat, humming softly to the song playing from my phone in the bedroom as I stood in front of the mirror to fix my hair and makeup. It was almost time for Five to pick me up for our date, wearing a blue floral off-shoulder ditsy mini dress. I fixed the umbrella necklace around my neck, curling my hair loosely after I did my makeup when I hear the door open.

"(y/n)?"

"I'm in the bathroom!" I call out, about to walk out when Five stops me.

"Wait! Stay in there for a bit!" I tilt my head in confusion, a smile growing on my face when I realise he was quickly getting dressed. I heard him struggle for a bit as he tried to hurry up while hopping around, making me chuckle until I hear the door close again so he might have left. I hear knocking and I walk out, quickly putting on some beach strap wedges before I open the door. I gasp when the first thing I see is a large bouquet of flowers in front of me, Five leaning up from behind to grin at me.

"These are beautiful Five!" he passes me the bouquet carefully and I smell the sweet floral scent, smiling like a crushing schoolgirl.

"Really? I wasn't sure if I needed to go bigger or get a teddy bear or-"

"-they're perfect, really." I kiss Five's cheek to ease him from his stuttering nervousness, letting him into our room as I carefully set the bouquet down on the table. I turn back around to face him to see his eyes wide with a sparkle, looking at me with a warm gaze and I blush at how he was looking at me. "Five?"

"You're beautiful..." He breathes in like he couldn't believe it. "You've grown more beautifully the past 5 years..." I tear up, suddenly feeling emotional from his words and I smile at him. He walks towards me to hold my face, brushing his thumb to wipe away the stray tears on my cheeks. "You will always be so beautiful to me." he whispers, leaning his forehead on mine.

"I love you..." I mumble out, unable to say anything else except the words that conveyed everything I felt for him.

"I love you too (y/n)." Five smiles happily, leaning back and I finally take in a good look at him. He was wearing a blue collared shirt with a few buttons undone and white chino pants.

"You look really good, like really good." I grin, fixing the collar of his shirt like I have done many times before. "It's almost criminal how handsome you are." My boyfriend chuckles, taking hold of my hands.

"Are you ready?" I nod, quickly grabbing my bag and the both of us leave our room, making sure it was locked as we take the elevator down outside. As we walk out the doors of the hotel building, I see a black 1970s Corvette Stingray waiting in front of us as Five takes out the keys to unlock it.

"Holy shit, look at this car!" I exclaim, reading that he owns this car.

"It's my dream car. I can't believe I managed to find it here." I gawk at my boyfriend, mesmerised by how cool the car looks and how happy he was to find it. "This is coming back home with us." I nod, walking to the passenger's door to open it but he quickly stops me, opening the door for me to get in making me chuckle.

"Thank you Five." I kiss his cheek happily and get in the car, amused by the loopy smile on his face when I kissed his cheek but he snaps out of it and gently closes the door before getting in through the driver's side. "So... where are we heading?" I ask my sweet assassin as we drive away from the hotel, speeding down the roads. Responsibly obviously.

"Well, what do you think about dinner?" he looks at me and I nod eagerly.

"Definitely! I'm hungry!" he chuckles lightly at my excitement for food, reaching a hand out to squeeze my thigh beneath my dress making me flush lightly.

"Good, so that's where we're heading first."

"There's more after the dinner!?" I gasp at the fact Five had planned something big for tonight and I felt special at the effort he put in.

"I did. I hope you like it..."

"I'm going to love it anyway Five, especially if it's from you." He breathes out relief, taking my hand from my lap and bringing it up to kiss the back of it before entwining our fingers together.

I lean my head back against the car seat, relaxing during the ride to wherever we were going, letting the window blow past me as the air was filled with a familiar song playing in the radio. The same song that was playing while Five and I had our dance at Luther and Sloane's wedding.

"We went for a drive, 2:30 in the morning. I kissed you, it was pouring."

I sing the lyrics softly, smiling when I hear Five put the volume up for me and I turn to him to see him look at me briefly with a warm look on his face.

"We held each other tight before the night was over. You looked over your shoulder."

He sang along with the song and I was surprised that he knew the words too, humming it softly for me as he kisses my palm and holds my hand tightly in my lap.

"Oh, I was doing fine. You said, 'Remember that night? Remember that night?'"

I look back out at the night sky as we drove over the bridge that took us closer to the inner parts of the city, illuminated by the various colourful lights with a rare few stars hanging in the sky with the moon. It was a peaceful night, something so sweet about it and it became so much more when we stopped in front of the restaurant. Five parked the car, getting out and opened the door for me with his hand out for me to hold which I did. I got out and he kept hold of my hand as we walked up to the restaurant, my mind blown away by the luxury of it.

"Five... oh my god..." he chuckles nervously at my reaction but it was because I have never stepped foot into something so expensive before.

"Reservation for two under Hargreeves." the lady at the front desk nods and she leads us up the stairs through a VIP section.

"Five, what the fuck?" I gape at him in shock. "I've never been anywhere like this before."

"Well more reason for me to spoil you then." he grins at me and I blush, holding his hand tight as we get led outside to a decorated balcony. There were lights and flowers everywhere, a table for two illuminated by the moon and the stars and I was speechless. "Too much?"

"It's beautiful Five... I just-no one's ever done this for me before..."

"Well, you deserve every minute of it." I look at Five in shock and he beams, pulling me to the table and pulling my chair out for me to sit down before he tucks me towards the table. As soon as he sits down in front of me in his seat on the other side of the table, a waiter comes out and pours red wine into our glasses. I was in awe of everything around me, looking at the decorations and at the lights until I look back at my sweet assassin to see him already looking at me. I flush from his gaze, a smile bracing his lips as he held his chin on top of his hand to continue to observe me.

"This is amazing Five. I love it, thank you." I reach over to hold his hand and he flushes with warmth from my touch, looking softly at my hand as his thumb brushes against the back of it.

"I'm glad you like it. We can order whatever you like. It's all being handled." I raise a brow at Five knowing he was paying for all this so I won't go too far with the spending but I'll still enjoy myself. The waiter comes back after we take the time to look over the menu, ordering what we would like and they take the order before walking back inside. I take a sip of the wine, surprised by the sweetness of it. Red wine wasn't normally sweet and I didn't like its bitter taste, but this one, I actually liked it.

"It's sweet." Five chuckles at my surprise.

"I know you prefer sweeter things over something bitter, so I thought you would like this one."

"It's actually really nice. You might get me into drinking wine instead of hard spirits." we laugh softly, setting our glasses down.
