9. FIRST DANCE
CHAPTER NINE: FIRST DANCE
---
You, Five, Diego and Lila was bending down with your backs up against a small brick wall.
Diego was in a black suit with a brown and black tie while Lila was in a light blue dress and Five was still in his umbrella uniform.
Diego glanced over the wall quickly, seeing that no one was looking their direction.
He then put his hands on the wall and climbed over it before he crouched down next to a parked car. Lila climbed over the wall quickly before doing the same.
You and Five looked at each other before you both jumped over.
The four of you was all hiding behind the parked car, bending down as you looked at the building where the Gala was being held.
"So, what's the plan?" Lila asked "We infiltrate, we identify, we extract. Double time" Diego said looking at you and the others before he looked back at the building.
Lila turned to Five "What the hell is he talking about?" she asked "Find the old man and get out fast" Five answered and Diego turned to look at Five "That's what I said" he said before he turned back "On me" he said before running towards another car.
You looked at Five "Follow Diego, I'll be right behind you" you nodded and went after Diego.
Lila looked back at Five "After you" she said but he just clenched his jaw and narrowed his eyes at her.
"What, I can't be polite?" she asked "Cut the crap. All right? My dimwitted brother might buy your bullshit, but I don't trust you for a second and I don't know what you are up to but you leave Y/n alone, understood, and if you touch one hair on her perfect beautiful head, I will kill you" he threated "Are you in love with her or something?" she asked "Just stay away from her" he said "O ye of little faith" she said "Stick it up your ass" he said, looking at her while he smiled fakely.
Lila smiled before she walked after Diego and you with Five right behind her.
---
Slow mariachi music was playing as Diego and you enter the building with Five and Lila behind you as overlapping chatter was heard.
Five quickly grabbed a glass of champagne from a waiter and took a sip as he looked around "If you want to blend in, a kid drinking champagne isn't exactly the way to do it" you said.
"I don't see Dad anywhere" Diego said "Just keep an eye out for the Majestic Twelve. I got upstairs" Five said before he looked at Diego "Diego, try not to do anything too stupid" he said and Lila chuckled softly.
"I'm going with you" Five looked at you and nodded "I thought Diego and I were watching her?" Lila asked "I promised her dad I'd keep her safe. I intend to do just that" Five said before he walked away and you followed after him.
But suddenly he stopped before he turned to you "I don't know if now is the right time, but..." he said before he took a deep breath.
You looked at him as he reached out his hand for you to take it. "While we wait, can I have this dance?" he asked "Do you really want to dance?" you asked "Why not, we're here, we might as well enjoy the moment, right?" he smiled.
"Do you even know how to dance?" you asked "Kinda" he said "So you wanna dance with me?" you asked "Just shut up and dance with me" he said and you raise your brow "That is not how to get a woman to dance with you. You got a lot to learn mister" you said "Maybe you could teach me?" he asked as he raise his left eyebrow in a flirting way.
"Unless you don't want to dance with me 'cause you are scared that I'm a better dancer than you" he said "As if Hargreeves" you smirked at him.
He then grab your hand "What are you doing?" you asked but he didn't answer as he pulled you close, his hand resting on your waist which cause you to blush as he brought your hands up, placing them on his shoulders while his other hand rested on your waist "How did you?" you asked "I have learn a bit" he said with a smile.
"Lucky for you, I'm not that good of a dancer even so my dad force me and my siblings to take dance lesson when we were kids" he said "Why did he learn you how to dance?" you asked "Part of the training we did" he answered.
He pulls you close to him as the music plays in the background.
As the music was playing, you couldn't help but look down at your feet, nervous about accidentally stepping on his shoes. "When you dance with someone, you're supposed to look at your partner" Five said softly.
"It's my first dance, so cut me some slack" you said "I find that hard to believe. A girl like you, never having danced before?" he asked "I guess I've just never had the right partner" you replied.
Looking at his intense eyes makes your heart tumble against your chest.
He held your gaze for a moment longer, and you could feel something unspoken passing between the two of you. His green eyes were mesmerizing, pulling you deeper with each passing second. The way he looked at you, like you were the only person in the room, made your heart race.
"You are better than me. So don't judge me if I fall" you said "Then we will fall together" he joked and you smiled as you both rocked back and forth, your arm around his neck.
"I'm proud that I'm on this dancefloor with you tonight"
A smile appeared on your lips as the two of you were dancing to the music.
I was a stranger in a crowd
You were a star up in the clouds
And when I stay far in the meds
I could see a story miles ahead
He twirled you around slowly before bringing you back in. Five could feel his cheeks grow warm, only hoped you didn't notice. Although your eyes at the moment were closed.
You show me worlds I never knew
You turn my darkness into blue
And I feel ten feet tall
Since you said you'd be my arm
"You know" you opened your eyes to look at him "This is actually my first dance" you said "Really?" he asked and you nodded "It's mine too, so maybe we can figure it out together" he smiled.
"Well, you are not that bad Hargreeves" you said "Either are you Gussman" you both chuckled before he puts his hands on your hips and you threw your arms around his neck.
He smirks as his hands glides along the small of your back, drawing lazy circles on your sink, making your body respond to his touch.
And you're magical
You steal the show, my heart will go
I can not look away
Both of you stared at each other as you kept dancing.
And you're beautiful
The way you move, I'm lost in you
My heart is here instead
You were mesmerized with those beautiful green eyes and you could see that he was tired and he just wanted to get this done so he could live peacefully without any problems.
Five twirled you around, admiring your perfect body embraced by the shimmering dress before he sliding his hand on your waist from behind, pressing your body tightly against his.
He cast his gaze down and locked it with yours. Your lips just inches away, your heavy breath's mingling. your other hand rested on your waist, just below his, your fingers touching.
And I could sing a thousand love songs
But none would measure up to you
And I could write a thousand stories
Of all the times I fell for you
He lifted his left hand while you lifted your right hand causing your fingers to locked together which 'cause you both to get butterflies in your stomachs.
He twirls you around and gracefully catches you back in his arms, this time your back is facing him.
"Why are you like this?" you asked "What do you mean?" he asked "Show no emotions one moment and then show emotions the next" you said before he whirled you around again and pull you back to him, your chest bumping into his while he look at you intensely.
And I would brave the fiercest ocean
To find my way back to you
And I would cross the darkest desert
For you to know I'm here for you
You fell into his arms and he slid his hand to the small your back, claiming you as if you belonged to him.
And I could sing a thousand love songs
But none would measure up to you
And I could write a thousand stories
Of all the times I fell for you
You sent your gaze on his again, resting one hand on his arm and the other left cupped in his as you kept dancing.
His hand travels from your waist up to your underboob, sensually trailing a path of thrilling strokes through your skin.
"You don't even know me" he said "But I would like to. I would like to know the guy who someone have tied me to him" you said and he let out a sigh.
You think it was weird, he acted like an asshole and a dick to everyone including his siblings but when he was with you, he acts so different, he acted more soft and kind, but it was not all the time it was like he didn't wanted to show you his soft and kind side.
Right there even so you have only know him for a short time, you felt like you have know him for longer and you have actually realized that you had feeling for Five Hargreeves.
As you continued to dance, you felt a warmth spreading through you, the kind that made you want to stay in this moment forever. Five's grip on your waist was firm but gentle, grounding you in a way that felt safe and secure. You couldn't remember the last time you felt so at ease, so content.
You stared into his green eyes that were staring right back at yours Y/e/c as you kept dancing.
His eyes never left yours, and you found yourself getting lost in their depths, the world around you both fading away until it was just the two of you, swaying to the music. You didn't want the song to end. The thought of letting go of him, of breaking this connection, made your chest tighten.
"You know" Five's voice broke through your thoughts, soft and steady "I've always been alone. But moments like this....they remind me that maybe, just maybe, it's nice to have someone to share them with"
His words took you by surprise, and you felt warmth bloom in your chest "I'm glad I get to share this moment with you" you softly said.
He smiled, a genuine warm smile that made your heart ship a beat "Me too"
He moved a strand of your hair behind your ear and tilted your head up so you were looking at him.
And oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
"I know that we have just met, but the first time I touch your skin, a feeling ran through my body" you said.
"What kind of feeling?" he asked "That electric feeling going through your body when you touch someone's skin" you explain and his expression changed, like he knew what kind of feeling you were talking about and he did. He had the same feeling when your skin touched his for first time.
Was this the same feeling he was having now, and it just like it keeps coming, and it's only when he's with you. What is wrong with him? He's not like that. He have never being like that, why suddenly now?
But it was weird every since he met you, a feeling have slowly starting waking up in him. He felt happier and whole when he was with you. A warm feeling was running through his body when he was near you. And when you left, he felt a part of him leaving with you. And no matter how much he tried, he couldn't make those feeling go away.
It was like being with you, you brought out something in him, something he thought would never return, something he thought was long gone. He could feel that his humanity was slowly coming back, he could feel his freezing heart slowly became warm, and the stone around it slowly breaking. What are you doing to him? How can a woman he have only knew for a few days make him feel like this? How are you able to bring back those feelings, those emotions? How are you able to bring back those feelings, those emotions? To affect him so much?
You slowly felt yourself leaning in, noticing Five doing the same.
It was almost like a magnet was dragging you together. Your noses and chests was touching.
There was something about you. Something that no one else had. Five could feel his humanity coming back and something in him waking up when he was with you, something he thought was gone forever. You brought something out of him. You were different and special. And he knew that he would never find someone like you ever again. Maybe it was fate that he landed here by mistake.
Neither of you knew what to say. Both breathing heavily, sexual tension above all else was high, noses and chest touching. You could both feel each other's warm breath on your faces. It could have been your teenage hormones acting up or your feelings became too much for you to keep bottle in.
"I'm scared for when I get back to 2019...I won't see you again" he said "You might. But right now...you have me, so don't worry about that" you said.
"Come with me" your eyes widened.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The music swelled and for a moment you felt like you were flying. Your faces were close so close that you could feel his breath on your skin, warm and steady.
Five actually like you. You were beautiful, smart, amazing and not to mention fierce and he like that.
"You know, falling in love and open up your heart to someone can sometimes feel scary. But within that fear resides the magic of transforming vulnerability into strength. And when someone makes you feel alive again it's worth the risk. You might never be ready for it, but you might never be ready if you don't take a chance. Because sometimes the best thing in life are worth taking the risk for" you said.
Those words hit him hard and it was like something took control over him.
"It's okay. You don't have to work over time to get people to love you. Love isn't earned, it's giving" you both smiled.
"My whole life changed when I met you, Y/n. You make me want to enjoy it again. You also gave me hope"
The distance between you seemed to shrink with every second, your bodies moving in perfect harmony. You could see every detail of his face and you found yourself wondering what it would be like to close the gap between the two of you, to press your lips to his.
Then suddenly you felt his lips on yours which caused your eyes to widened.
It only lasted a few seconds before Five pulled away.
Your first kiss. But you didn't know if it was called a kiss since you didn't kiss him back.
"I...I'm sorry" he took some steps back before he turned around and ran towards the stairs.
You just stood frozen before you slid your left fingers down your lips.
You were in shock about what just happen?
What is wrong with him? This is just so wrong.
Why did he just kiss you? What did it mean?
You let out a sigh before you decide to follow after him.
---
While Five walk up the stairs, he kept thinking about the moment that just happen.
What was he thinking? Why did he just kiss you? What is wrong with him? He shouldn't have done that. That was so wrong.
He can't get attached or attracted to you or can't he get any feelings for you. He knew that he can't do that. He is from the future and you are from the past. It will be too risky, beside if he get too attached to you, he knew it would be hard and difficult not just for you but for him as well when he had to go back to his timeline and he can't take you with him since that might be too risky. Therefore it would be best to not get too close to you. Beside it can be really dangerous when two people from different timeline gets attached for each other.
Therefore it might be best to close off those feelings he have for you. Keep a distante from you. It might help those feelings of his to go away.
It will be best, not just for him, but for you as well, he don't want to hurt you. Beside if The Commission finds out about it, they might even try to kill you and he can't let that happen. He can't risk you getting hurt.
Beside he is an 37 year old man in his sixteen-year-old body and you're a fifteen-year-old girl. Even so you didn't acted like one, you actually acted like you were around his age. It was still wrong. Which was the other big reason why he can't fall for you. Maybe if you were older and if you were back in 2019 then maybe.
He kept telling himself that it was just his hormones and the moment, but you can't more of those moments. Maybe it would be best to just stay away from you. Telling you something so you wouldn't get attached to him.
When he reach the last steps someone poke him on the shoulder which cause him to turn around to see you "What are you doing here?" he asked "Helping you" you said.
Five was about to say something but then there was the sound of men murmur indistinctly which cause Five to grab you before the two of you to hid behind the corner before peeking out to see a group of men walking down the hall and into another room before they closed the door.
The two walked up to the door and Five grabbed your hand "Close your eyes. This might make you sick" you looked at him "Wait, what?" you asked but he blinked you both into a closet inside the room where the group have walked in.
"God, I think I'm gonna barf. Still not use to that" you said as Five held your arm so you wouldn't fall.
The two of you leaned forward to look out of the shades of the door.
You could see all the Majestic 12 gathered in a dark room that was dimly lit by a few lamps that were placed around the room.
"The president is continuing to make inquiries into Roswell and the other crash sites, gentleman. And, as you know, we cannot allow him to get his nose into our business. I've confirmed the motorcade will indeed be turning left on Elm Street. We'll have our people in place" a man explained.
"Gentlemen, this plan of yours seems ill-timed" said the man that had his back to the closet, and Five narrowed his eyes as he could recognize the voice, it sound like Reginald "It's going to be a turkey shoot" a man said.
In panic and fear you moved a bit making a soft clatter causing the man to turn around and look at the closet and Five's eyes widened when he it was his dad, Reginald.
"Dad?" Five whispered "Shh" Reginald said to the other men and he grabbed a fire poker that was standing in front of the fireplace before he made his way towards the closet.
Five and you took a step back before Five grabbed your hand and just as Reginald began to jab the fire poker through the the door, Five blinked away with you.
---
You both appeared back on the hallway and you both exhales sharply as Five fix his shirt.
Then you let out a grunt and you looked down at your left arm to see a small cut. It was not that deep and will heal in a day or two, but it did hurt a bit
"Damn it" you said and Five turned to you "Y/n" he rushed over to you to see a small cut on your left arm that was bleeding a bit.
"What happen?" he asked "That guy cut me" you said as you hold your right hand on the cut.
"You okay?" he asked "I will be fine" you looked at the cut before looking back at Five "I'm sorry Five, I just freaked out" your voice shaky "It's alright. We got the information we need" he said with a calm voice.
"Let's find Diego" you nodded before you walked up ahead but then one of the Swedes who wearing the same outfit as a waiter to blend came walking out one of the rooms.
He looked at you like he recognized you, you weren't on the hit list like the other Hargreeves but you were in association and in their way and therefore right now also added to their list.
"What the..." you said before he grabbed you and push you against the wall.
Five heard you grunt and he turned around to see you in danger "Y/N!" he shouted before he blinked up on the guy's back "LET HER GO, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" he shouted as he tried to snap his neck.
The guy let go of you before he grabbed Five and threw him away causing him to fall to the floor with a grunt.
Five got up and was about to run over to you but then another one of the Swedes walked out from a room before looking at him.
"Shit" Five muttered and the Swedes grabbed his blazer, pulling him forward before he push him against the wall causing him to grunt before the guy shoved him towards another side of the hallway.
But before he could hit the wall, he blinked away before he appeared behind the guy and kicked him in the leg, causing the guy to fell on his knees.
He then jumped up on his back trying to snap his neck as he made a straining noise, but the guy lifted his arms behind himself before grabbing Five by the shoulder, leaning forward, swinging him up and threw him onto the floor causing him to groan.
The guy lifted his fist to punch Five but he blinked away with a whoosh before he appeared behind the guy.
The guy got up and turned around to look at him and Five clenched his fists, causing energy to sputter as he tried to blink but nothing happen, meaning his powers was failing him again.
"Oh, shit" Five said before he looked at you "RUN Y/N!" he shouted and you turned around as the guy began walking towards him before he punched him in the face.
The guy turned to see you and he was about to chase you "Hell no you bastard" Five hissed as he kicked the guy in the knee.
You were about to run down the stairs, but then a pair of arms grabbed you before lifting your feet of the floor.
You slammed your elbow into his side and the guy let go of you before falling backwards into the wall behind him.
The guy threw a punch at you but you bend down dodging the punch.
You threw a punch at the guy but he dodged the punch before he grabbed you by the throat and push you against the wall.
As Five fought the first assassin, his eyes landed on you "No" he said, but before he could even walked over to you and help, he was thrown against a wall.
While the second swedes was pressing his left arm against your throat, your eyes landed on a small glass vase standing by a small table next to you, so you grabbed it before smashing it at the guy's face causing him to grunt while letting go of you as the glass shatter.
You then swung a fist at the guy causing him to stumble backwards.
Diego then came walking up the stairs and he looked to the right to see you and Five fighting against the Swedes.
"Five, Y/n...." Diego said "Diego, help Y/n!" Five shouted and Diego was about to walk over and help but then a belt was wrapped around his neck causing Diego to let out a gasp as the third Swedes Axel pulled him backwards down the hallway by the belt while Diego tried to pull it away.
Your opponent slammed your body into the wall next to you causing you to groaned as he let go of your arms before grabbing your throat.
But then you kicked your foot against his chest before pushing him off you causing him to stumble back catching himself on a small table by the window.
You threw a punch at his jaw, knocking his head to the side.
The guy swung a kick at you face causing you to let out a grunt.
You then kicked him in the groin before you threw a punch at him causing him to groan in pain as he stumbled back.
The guy threw a punch at you but you bend down, dodging the punch.
You dodged the punch before punching him right in the face and you kicked him in the stomach.
He threw another punch at you but you bent backwards, and moved around before you swung at him again, hitting him in the face.
Another punch came towards you, but before it could hit you, you used your knee to kick him in the groin causing him to grunt in pain.
You actually didn't know why you were so good at fighting, you don't remember learning how to, but it was like your mind and body just did it out of reflex.
You then grabbed some pieces of glass from the vase before you stab him in the arm causing him to grunt in pain
Diego threw a knife towards the guy you were fighting but it miss and hit the shelf next to him.
Then Lila came walking up the stairs and she stopped when she heard both Five and Diego groaning.
She looked at Diego and was about to walk over and help him but then she heard Five groaning and she turned around to see you and Five against the Swedes.
Five groaning as he was getting slammed into a wall while you let out a grunt as a fist hit you in the face.
"Lila" Diego said and she looked at him "Help me! Lila! Help..." he said.
"Protect Number Five at all costs"
Lila grabbed Diego's knife, that was stuck in the shelf before she turned around to ran over to help Five.
Lila kicked off her heels and jumped up on a small table, before she jumped up, grabbing the chandelier that was hanging from the ceiling and kicked the guy before she wrapped her legs around his neck.
Five sat up from the floor and blinked twice to see how skillful Lila fought. He could almost recognize the fighting patterns and skills.
Those skills are really familiar.
Lila then let go of the chandelier and with her strength she pulled the guy down on the floor.
"You're welcome" Lila said to Five who was narrowing his eyes at her.
Five saw the guy get up and ran towards him before he push him out of the window.
The second Swede threw a punch at you, hitting you in the face causing you to let out a grunt as you fell to the floor while your eyes lids fluttered heavily as you could feel a trickle of blood running down from your nose.
The guy then grabs you and pinning you against the wall by your neck. You gasped while struggling for breath as his grip tightened, his cold eyes boring into yours.
Then suddenly, Five appeared behind him and he was kicked in the knees before he was knocked out while you fell on the floor, gasping for air.
Five looked at you before blinking over to you "I'm here. I got you" he helped you up and you leaned forward, being caught in his arms.
"Y/n are you okay? Breathe" you nodded weakly, trying to reassure him, but your throat burned with every breath.
He then looked over his shoulder to look out the window and he saw his father standing outside waiting for his car.
"Come" he said before he blink away with you and you both appeared outside.
"You okay?" Five asked as you leaned your head against his chest, his heart was racing, you could hear it thumping loudly in my ear.
You pulled away from each other and he wipe the blood off your nose with his hand.
"I'm okay" you said while Five's eyes studied yours, looking for a hint of pain that suggested otherwise, but he couldn't find anything in your Y/e/c eyes that was staring into his green ones
He then noticed your bleeding arm and he placed his hands over the cut, causing blood to cover a tiny parts of his fingers.
He pulled out his pocket knife "Why do you have knife?" you asked "I always have a pocket knife on me, just in case" he said with a smile as he cut a piece of your dress off before he wrapped it around your arm as quickly as possible.
You let out a winced as your entire body hurt a lot.
"Sorry" Five said before he tight the knot. He then slid a piece of hair away from your face.
"Isn't that him?" you pointed behind who turned around before looking behind him to see his dad.
Five then turned which cause your face to be inches apart as you looked into each other's eyes.
He took a few steps forward "Tell me about a complicated man, Muse. Tell me how he wandered and lost!" he shouted out in Anicent Greek causing Reginald to look at him as Five continued speaking Anicent Greek to him with his American accent.
Five remember the words, it was the citing from the opening paragraph of the book he had read to them when they were kids.
"Reggie. What are you waiting for?" Grace asked from inside the limo and Reginald looked at her "We need to go" she said and Reginald looked at Fiv for a few seconds before he got into the car and drove away.
"What was that?" you asked "Anicent greek. It was the Odyssey, I got his attention" Five replied "I didn't know you spoke that language" you said "It seems there is a lot about me you don't know" he smirked at you which caused you to smile but then he blink a few times with his eyes.
"Is none of your business" he said with a more hard tone.
What is wrong with him, one moment he is all sweet and kind, but then he is behaving like an asshole. You didn't understand why he is like that.
Then Diego and Lila ran up to you "Was that him?" Diego asked "Yeah" Five said as you all watch the car drive away.
"You know, I'm starting to get the feeling Dad's avoiding us" Five said "Hate to be the boring one, guys, but, uh, it's time we get the hell out of here, come on Y/n" Lila said, rubbing the back of her neck before she walked in front of the three of you.
"No, Y/n's staying with us" Five said "You kidding? She's cleary hurt, and we need to help her" she said.
Five took a step forwards, facing Lila "When you say 'we' who exactly are you referring to?" he asked, leaning forward and Lila turned around to look at him "Not a lot of ambiguity in that sentence" she said "Listen, I don't know who you are or where you came from, but whatever it is, I'd advise you return posthaste" Five said as he glared at her "She's right Five, we need to get out of here" Diego said, stepping forwards.
"I just saved your life, you kinder-shit. If I hadn't stepped in, all that would be left of you is a blazer and some bloody socks" Lila said "And that's the problem. You're too good. You ask too many questions. You know too much. And you fight like you know what you're doing" Five said "He's got a point" Diego said, looking at Lila "So I know how to handle myself, and that makes me the bad guy?" Lila asked with a scoff "Well, certainly when you chose to save my ass instead of saving Y/n and getting her out of here to safetly" he said with a hard tone.
"What about Y/n? None of us knew she could fight like that" Lila said "She have her reason, and she is a friend" Five hissed.
"But whoever you are, you're in my way. If I see you again or around Y/n, I will kill you" he said as he was looking at her with a threatening look.
Five then glanced over his shoulder, to look at you with only one thing in mind, get you back home so you could rest.
"Come on, let go" he grab your hand before leading you away.
Lila step forwards before she looked back at Diego who was not moving a bit "Diego, we need to go" she said "I was getting my ass handed to me back there. You helped Five, not me or Y/n" Diego said, stepping closer to her "Why?" he asked "Because he's a kid and you're a man. Bloody act like one" she said "Why didn't you help Y/n?" he asked "'Cause she didn't need any help" Lila said "Five would have wanted you to help Y/n over him" he said "Well, she seems like she handle things" she said and he just nodded before he walked passed her.
"Diego, I...I...We shouldn't--" she said but was cut off when he stopped before he turned to her "You know what?" he said, stepping closer to her "I'm used to dealing with liars, Lila, but I like it better when I know what they're lying about" Diego said before he turned around and began walking away "Oh, come on, Diego. Really? You're just gonna walk away?" Lila shouted but he ignored her "Diego!" she shouted as he ran away.
---
When you, Diego and Five return back to your place, it was dark and you saw your dad passed out on a chair next to a passed out Luther "What the hell have they being doing?" you asked before you looked at your dad "Jesus dad, you are lucky I love you, but I'm glad you had fun" you smiled.
"Come" Five said grabbed your hand "Where are we going?" you asked but he didn't answer as he dragged you into your bedroom "Please be quiet!" Diego called out as you closed the door behind you before Five almost push you down on the bed.
He then found the first aid-kit, a bowl with water and a rag.
"Let me clean your cuts first" you said "I should be the one taking care of your injuries" he said "I'm fine. You're the one who looks worse off" you said "No, you look worse than me" he said "Please" you said and he nodded.
He sat down next to you and you started cleaning his wound "I'm sorry" he said "For what?" you asked "I promised your dad I wouldn't let you come back with a wound on you" he said "Hey, we're alive now. You did save me, after all" you said "You pretty much saved me too" he smiled.
"There, all better" you said and you saw Five touching his lips.
"Let me take care of yours now" he said before he continued looking at your cut, before he dipped the rag in the water and he started cleaning the rest of the blood off your lips.
Readjusting the rag in his hand, he started dabbing the blood around the cut lightly before putting the rag down.
He then took your arm and carefully applied antiseptic on the cut, his touch surprisingly gentle.
"You shouldn't have come. I should have protected you" he said "I wanted to come" you said "Yeah and look how that got you, I should have---" "Hey" you said as you grabbed his hands causing him to look at you "I'm okay. You don't have to worry about me all the time" you said.
"I will always worry about you" he mumbled as you looked at each other.
You couldn't help but notice how green his eyes were up close. "Did you know that your eyes are very green" you softly said.
He met your gaze, and for a moment everything else seemed to disappear. his eyes were intense and there was something vulnerable about them that drew you in.
He looked down at your hands that were still connected.
"Uh..." he remove his hand before he got up "Get some sleep" he turned towards the door.
"Five" you said which made him stop "Back at the gala, what happen between us was---" "A mistake" he cut you off which caused your eyes to widened.
"That kiss was a mistake, beside I was just blending in" he turned to look at you "Why? Do you think it mean something" you noticed the hard tone in his voice.
"Why did you kiss me?" you asked "That kiss was a mistake, I let my hormones control me. I lost focus which will never happen again" he said.
"So that moment we share--" "Was a mistake, forget about that moment okay, I was just blending in. It meant nothing to me" he said and tears started to appear in your eyes.
"What do you it mean. You know that us two are never going to happen. I'm a 37 year old man" he pointed on himself "You are 15, you're just a kid" he pointed on you "Maybe if you were older and we met in my timeline, then maybe" you looked down "I understand. Who am I kidding, the age different between us is too big, people will see you as a pedophile" you said.
"Beside we told each other no connection" he said "Yeah, no connection" you sighed "So maybe it's best we keep a distante from each other" you looked at him "You can decide if you still want to help or not, I wouldn't blame you if you decide not to help me anymore, I think it's best we go back to not touching each other and keep a distance, that you don't follow me around anymore" he said.
"Is that what I am to you, just a little helper that is follow you around like a puppy?" you raise your voice "No that is not what--" "Drop it Five, I get it, okay, you're right. That kiss never happen and I will gladly forget about the dance, the moment and the kiss" you approached him.
"I will stop following you around, I will stop helping you so much, and I will keep my distance from you, is that what you want?" you put your finger on his chest.
"Y/n...I---" "No, now you listen to me" you cut him off.
"From no on, you are just a person that is staying with my dad until you have found out a way to go back home. From now on you are nothing but an acquaintance, a stranger to me" you started pushing him out of your room with your finger.
"So get out of my room, 'cause I don't want strangers in my room" you push him away from you.
"I can't believe that I thought you were different. I actually thought you were not that asshole that you pretend to be, but I was wrong" you could see that Five was in shock.
"Now goodnight" you slam the door in his face.
"Man what did you do?" a voice asked and Five turned to look at his brother Diego "Were you that bad?" he asked "Mind your own business" Five hissed before he turned around so his brother wouldn't notice the sad face that took over him.
That hurt? But he also hurt you? He understand your reaction? Maybe he was too hard.
It was just, your scent, your voice, your smile, your body. You had a hold on him that no one else does. In his eyes, you were a goddess. You were perfect.
He broke your innocent heart. He felt horrible. With all the killing and other bad stuff he have done. He've never felt as wicked or more of an ass than he did there.
When you had close your door you turned around before throwing yourself on the bed as you started sobbing.
You kept thinking about the moment, the way Five looked at you, the gentle kiss, and the genuine concern he had shown, all of it made you feel like you were standing on the edge of something new and exciting.
But it was not like anything was official going on between the two of you. But it felt like something. Besides what would happen if he went back to his timeline. What would happen between the two of you?
The kiss you shared, the way he'd rest his forehead against yours, it made you blush just thinking about it. And yet, you couldn't shake the dread that filled you every time you considered what would happen if he succeeded in stopping the apocalypse. Would he leave? Would he go back to his time and leave you behind? The thought made your stomach twist in knots. You tried to push it out of your mind, but it kept creeping back in.
Five was an asshole, you thought he was different, that he was not that asshole he pretended to be, but he wasn't different and he was an asshole.
You can't believe that you actually were falling for him. He was right, your relationship was wrong. You are a teen, he is a 37 year old man. It's just wrong.
Besides, maybe the only reason you were attracted to him was because he was the first guy you met that was different somehow.
So maybe it was best to not get so attached to him, not helping him so much, and not being close to him. Maybe then those feelings would disappear.
Keeping a distance from him and not spending so much time with him might be a good idea. But it is a little hard to keep a distance when he is staying at your home, but maybe it will help with not spending so much time with him, then maybe this attraction will go away.
And you can do your best in keeping your distance, it can't be that hard right?
