SEVEN
Unedited*
The only sound in the house was the sound of the tv playing in the background. Five was seated on the small couch staring at the tv, replaying the conversation between him and Eden. He couldn't get the heartbroken look on her face out of his mind and the thought of her even forgetting him made him nauseous. When he saw the memory he just wanted to curl up and cry because she forgot him even if it was for a little bit. What if his siblings didn't remind her of him? Of their relationship? And of their special memories? He wouldn't know what to do with himself.
Five sighs and looks around the living room hoping to get a glance at Eden who left the room. He knew there was a drift starting to happen between them and he would never forgive himself if he let it happen. Eden was the sole reason he came back, why he worked so to get back. Five slowly stands from the couch to find Eden which wasn't very hard as he follows the sound of a sewing machine to her room. Eden was sat at the desk that sat in the corner of her room, a sewing machine placed on it as she works on a piece of fabric.
Five clears his throat to get Edens attention who jumps at the noise, almost pricking her finger. She turns to glare at Five who's cheeks flush a little bit at the glare.
"Sorry" He softy says causing her face to soften
"It's alright just got a little startled" Eden says with a small smile
"Is there something you need?" She asks and Five purses his lips debating if he should ask her or not.
"Want to solve the mystery of the eye?" He blurts out suddenly feeling a bit mad at himself, it wasn't exactly what he had in mind.
Eden tilts her head to look at him with curious eyes, a familiar spark coming to her eyes. She always loved solving mystery's
"Why not? I've always loved a good mystery" Eden says and stands up grabbing her jacket from her bed, her keys, and purse.
"Ready?" She asks Five who nods
"Of course" He says and they both walk out of the apartment
•
Eden was patiently leaning against the wall as Five waits on the middle of the room.
"Uh can I help you?" A man asks in confusion and Five perks up
"I need to know who this belongs to." Five says to the man and walks closer to them
"Where did you get that?" The man asks
"What do you care?" Five rudely says causing Eden to roll her eyes at the mannerless boy. The man just stares at Five causing Five to say
"I found it at a playground, actually." He says with a shrug
"It must have just...popped out" he says clicking his tongue with a smirk and Eden quickly snickers
"And I wanna return it to its rightful owner." Five says
"Aw what a thoughtful young man." The receptionist awes causing Eden to quietly snort
"Yeah look up a name for me, will ya?" Five says to the women with a sweet smile
" I'm sorry but patient records are strictly confidential. That means I can't tell you-" the man was cut off by a glaring Five
"Yeah I know what it means."
"But I'll tell you what I can do. I will take the eye off your hands and return it to the owner. I'm sure he or she will be very grateful, so if I can just-" the man says while going to grab the eyeball from Five
"Yeah you're not touching this eye." Five says lowly to the doctor with a glare and Eden straightens up as she starts to feel bubbling anger that wasn't hers.
"Now you listen here young man" the man goes to say but Five quickly grabs him
"No! You listen to me, asshole. I've come a long way for this, through some shit your pea brain couldn't even comprehend, so just give me the information I need, and I'll be on my merry way." Five grits through clenching teeth
"And if you call me "young man" one more time, I'm gonna put your head through that damn wall." Five threatens with a sneer on his face
"Oh dear" the receptions sighs
"Call security" the man whispers to her
Eden quietly walks over to her and sends the women a charming smile before she could pick the phone up.
"Oh I love that dress! Where did you get it from?" Eden asks cheerfully causing the women's eyes to widen
"Oh my god! You're Eden Hargreeves! You're my idol! I love your fashion line, absolutely adore it!" The women says with excitement, practically jumping in her seat.
"Oh well thank you so much for the compliment" Eden says with a smile
"Can I get a picture with you?" She asks and Eden smiles
"Of course!" She cheerfully says and leans over to get a picture with the women who smiles widely
"Thank you!" The women exclaims and Eden grins
"Anything for a fan!" Eden says
"It was so nice meeting you but me and my friend have to get going" Eden charmingly says as she grips the back of Fives collar, dragging him out of the building as he silently fumes.
"I need to get to the academy" Five states as he gets into the car leaving Eden
"Okay" she drawls out
•
Eden was laying on his bed silently enjoying the faint smell of his cologne. Five was rummaging through his draws and sneaking little peaks at Eden enjoying the sight of her on his bed .
"Five! Are you upstairs!" Vanya's voice drifts into his room as she quietly walks inside
"Oh thank god" she sighs in relief
"I was worried sick about you"
"Sorry I left without saying goodbye, I went to Edens " Five apologies as Eden lifts her hand to wave at her sister
"Hey Vanya" Eden sleepily says as Vanya waves back
"No, look, I'm the one that should be sorry. Yeah, I was dismissive, and I- I guess I didn't know how to process what you were saying. And I still can't to be honest" Vanya stutters a bit looking at Five with apologetic eyes
"Maybe you were right to be dismissive" he scoffs
"Maybe it wasn't real after all, it felt real. Well like you said, the old did say time travel could contaminate the mind" he sighs causing Eden to raise her eyebrows, why was he lying to her?
She already knew that he went to visit Vanya once she cleaned his wounds and told her about the apocalypse but why was he lying to her know.
"Then maybe I'm not the right person for you to be talking to. Look, I used to see someone, a therapist, I could give you here information." Vanya says with worry in her eyes
"Thanks but I think I'm just gonna get some rest." Five says turning to his bed where Eden laid with her eyes close
"It's been a long time since I've had a good sleep."
"Okay" Vanya sighs while turning to walk out of the door
Eden opens her eyes when she hears Klaus dramatically stumble out of the closet.
"That was so... touching, all that stuff about family and dad and time, wow!" Klaus exclaims causing Five to shush him
"Would you shut up! She'll hear you." Five quietly shouts
"I'm moist" Klaus whispers as Eden sits up to face the two men
"I told you to put on something professional"
"What? This is my nicest outfit" Klaus says while smoothing his shirt out
"I think you look great Klausy, ruffles are trending" Eden says to her brother who grins down at her
"Thank you baby E" Klaus says
Five sighs and closes his eyes before turning to the door.
"We'll raid the old man's closet" Five grumbles and walks out of the room with Klaus and Eden following behind him.
"As long as I get paid" Klaus says
"When the jobs done" Five drawls
"Okay, but just so we're clear on the finer details, I just gotta go into this place and pretend to be your dear old dad, correct?" Klaus says with his finger pointed
"Yeah something like that" Five says with his hands tucked into his shorts
"What's our cover story?" Klaus asks
"What? What are you talking about?" Five asks with a frown and Eden leans in curiously
"I mean, was I really young when I had you? Like, 16? Like, young and terrible misguided?" Klaus says with a sigh and puts his hands over his chest
"What about his mother?" Eden asks curiously and Klaus gasps
"Your mother, that slut" Klaus spits out in disgust
"Whoever she was, we met at... the disco." Klaus says with a wide dazed smile.
"Ooh groovy" Eden chimes in and high fives Klaus
"And you! You can be his on and off again girlfriend! Who's parents don't approve of him and want you to marry some rich boy who's a family friend! But you don't want to and instead run off with Five and now live with us" Klaus says with wide excited eyes
"That's very interesting" Eden hums as Five glares at his brother
"Okay? Remember that" he points at Five with a raised eyebrow before snapping his fingers
"Oh, my god, the sex was amazing." Klaus drawls out causing Eden to grimace.
"What a disturbing glimpse into that thing you call a brain." Five insults Klaus and walks down the stairs
"Don't make me put you in time out" Klaus scolds and Eden giggles at her brother
•
"Like I said to your son earlier, any information about the prosthetics we build is strictly confidential. Without the clients consent, I simply can't help you." The man says and Eden sighs as she can feel Fives anger brewing
"Well how can we get consent if we don't know who the client is? That's all we really need, the clients name so we can returns their eye. We would be extremely grateful if you could just tell us who the eye belongs to." Eden charmingly says to the man who blushes
"I-I'm sorry but I still can't help you" he stutters with a red face causing Eden to sigh
"Are you sure?" Eden asks again with a small pit
"S-sorry but there's really nothing more I can d-" the man was cut off by Klaus
"And what about my consent?" Klaus asks with crossed hands
"Excuse me?" The man asks in confusion as Eden and Five peer at Klaus in interest
"Who gave you permission to lay your hands on my son and his girlfriend?" Klaus says with a frown
"What?" The man asks with furrowed eyebrows, absolutely confused
"You heard me" Klaus states
"I didn't touch your son or his girlfriend" the man says with a confused face.
"Oh, really? Well, then how did he get that swollen lip, then?" Klaus asks with a shake of his head
"He doesn't have a swollen-" the man was cut off by Klaus punching Five in the mouth making Eden gasp in surprise
"And how did her cheek get bruised" Klaus asks
"Klaus don't-" Five was cut off by Klaus hitting Eden so hard she almost cried
Eden held her stinging cheek with a small smile.
"That was a good hit" she compliments Klaus who smiles
"Are you alright?" Five asks with wide eyes, pushing her hands away to reveal her already bruised cheek.
"Yeah, are you?" She asks looking at his busted lip
"Yeah"
"I want it. Name, please. Now" Klaus demands with a glare scaring the poor doctor who glances between the three of them with wide eyes
"You're crazy" he says with wide eyes
"You got no idea" Klaus shakes his head and glances down at the mans desk before grabbing the glass globe
" 'peace on Earth' That's so sweet." Klaus states before smashing the glass globe onto his head and shouting in pain.
Eden and Fives eye widen and Eden immediately steps forward to look at his injury.
"God that hurt!" Klaus exclaims with blood dripping down the side of his face
"I'm calling secur-" Klaus grabs the phone
"What are you doing?" The man exclaims
"There's been an assault in Mr. Big's office, and we need security, now, Schnell!" Klaus shouts into the phone before dropping it back onto the desk with a sigh
"Now, here's what's gonna happen, Grant."
"It's.. Lance" Lance says
"In about 60 seconds, two security guards are gonna burst through that door, and they're gonna see a whole lot of blood and they're gonna wonder "what the hell happened?" And we're gonna a tell them... that you beat the shit out of us." Klaus sobs as Eden and Five share a mischievous smirk
"You're gonna do great in prison, Grant. Trust me, I've been there." Klaus assures Lance who was looking at him with wide eyes
"Little piece of chicken like you. Oh my god, you're gonna get passed around like a... you're just gonna do great. That's all I'm saying" Klaus rambles and Eden grimaces
"Jesus, you are a real sick bastard" Lance says shakily
"Thank you" Klaus says with a smile and spits out glass
The man leads them to the back where all the information was. Eden was sat on the corner watching as Lance rummages through the folders before pulling one out and glancing nervously at Klaus who sat beside her.
"Oh, that's strange." Lance says with furrowed eyebrows and Eden could sense he was very confused
"What?" Five demands
"Uh the eye. It hasn't been purchased by a client yet." Lance explains as Eden leans forward to look at the folder
"What? What do you mean?" Klaus asks
"Well, Uh our logs say that the eye with that serial number... this can't be right. It hasn't even been manufactured yet." Lance says in confusion and nervously glances behind him to look at Klaus.
"Where did you get that eye?" Lance asks Five who sighs in disbelief
"Well this is not good" Five states once they get outside
" I was pretty good, though, right? "What about my consent, bitch?" Klaus brags as Eden pats him on the back
"You did amazing" she compliments her brother
"Klaus it doesn't matter" Five grits through clenched teeth
"What? What's the big deal with this eye, anyway?"
"There is someone out there who's going to lose an eye in the next seven days. They're gonna bring about the end of life on this Earth as we know it." Five says and Eden sighs as she can feel his frustration and anger rolling off of him.
"It'll be alright Five, we'll find out who this person is in no time" Eden reassures the pacing boy who clenches his jaw
"Clearly we aren't! The eye hasn't even been bought or manufactured yet! We don't know who the person is because they haven't bought the stupid eye yet! Just quite trying to make things alright!" Five snaps at Eden who takes a step back with sad eyes
"I-I just wanted to make you feel better" she softly said with a frown
"I-I think I'm going to go" Eden says and turns around to hail a cab before getting in and leaving the two men.
Fives face softens once he realizes what he just did but it was to late. He sighs angrily and runs his hands through his hair in frustration. He didn't mean to say that
"You definitely messed up" Klaus says
