To Be Loved (Season one Umbrella Academy)

Secrets

Five- I survived on scraps, canned food, cockroaches... anything I could find.

He forces a small chuckle before continuing.

Five- You know that rumor that Twinkies have an endless shelf life? Well it's total bull shit.

Vanya- I can't even imagine.

Five- You do whatever it takes to survive, or you die. We take whatever the world throws at us.

Vanya- We?

You sigh.

Y/n- You got anything stronger?

You gesture to your drink.

Vanya pours drinks for you and Five. You walk back to sit while Five walks to the counter.

Five- You think I'm crazy.

Vanya- No. It's just- it's a lot to take in.

Five- Exactly what don't you understand?

Vanya- Why didn't you just time travel back?

Five- Gee, wish I thought of that. You think I didn't try everything to get back to my family?

Vanya- If you grew old there, in the apocalypse. How come you still look like a kid?

You sink farther back into your seat.

Five- I told you already, I must have gotten the equations wrong.

Five pours himself another drink as Vanya looks at you with a interested look.

Vanya- You know, dad use to always say time travel can mess up your mind. You think that's what's going on?

Five- This was a mistake.

He begins storming to the door.

Five- Your too young, too naive. You don't understand.

Before you can stand Vanya stops him.

Vanya- Five wait! I haven't see either of you in a long time and I don't want to lose you guys again. That's all.

Five turns around to face her.

Vanya- It's getting late and I have lessons early. I need to sleep and I'm sure you guys do too.

She lays a blanket out on the couch and hands you one too, she take a your empty cup and walks back to the kitchen.

Vanya- We'll talk in the morning, I promise.

She walks into her bedroom as she wishes the two of you goodnight.
You walk over and sit next to Five who has just relaxed onto the coach.

Y/n- any more new information you want to share with me?

Five fidgets with a fake eye.

Y/n- you understand that you're scaring her? She doesn't deserve that.

Five flips the eye over and examines the back. You both look up at each other knowingly.

Five- We have to go.

He quietly opens the front door as you both slip out.

—————————————————————

You stand with five in a waiting room. A man dressed professionally in a lab coat walks out.

Man- Can I help you?

You and Five turn to face him, Five pulls the eye out of his pocket.

Five- I need to know who this belongs to.
