Backstabber (Five Hargreeves x Reader)

Five in Wonderland: Down the Rabbit Hole

( Author: Hi guys! Hope you'll enjoy this AU💝 Again, it will be a combination of the book and the cartoon )

Five was beginning to get very tired of sitting by (Y/n) in the courtyard of the Academy and of having nothing to do. A couple times he had peeped into the book (Y/n) was reading, but it was one he's read hundreds of times before. 'She's just wasting my time,' thought Five, 'she needs to actually pay attention to me or otherwise I wouldn't have taken a break like she begged me to.'

"Sorry, I told those idiots to plant red roses for your visit today." Five said, trying to get a conversation going with her.

(Y/n) only smiled with her eyes remaining on the inked pages. "The white roses are still pretty but we could always paint them red." Five only chuckled.

Although he loved simply just being next to (Y/n) as she always filled him with euphoria, Five wanted to do something out of the ordinary to satisfy his need for adventure.

"If you could create a world however you wanted, like it's your very own, what would it be like?" (Y/n) suddenly said out of the blue, resting her hands on the pages as she looked up to the sky. Five raised a brow, still annoyed at how bored he was. "If I could make my own world? (Y/n), don't talk nonsense."

The (H/c) girl only smiled. "If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense."

"That's a world I would not wish to visit." Five grumbled. "Like your mind as a world."

(Y/n) snickered with a mad smile spreading across her face. "I get that a lot. People saying that if my mind was a world they wouldn't want to visit it. But come on, you can make a whole world however you wanted. What would it be like?"

Five sighed, deciding to play along to satisfy her. "I guess everything would be the opposite of what it is. Just to get a breath of fresh air away from how shitty reality really is. So nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And what it is, it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. I guess."

(Y/n) hummed as she leaned back and closed her eyes dreamily. "That sounds nice. In my world, animals would talk and be just like people. Like rabbits would wear coats and live in fancy, white house's." She yawned as her words got quieter, her mind and body dozing off. "Flowers would talk, cats could smile, the woods would be all the colors of the rainbow..."

Suddenly, a familiar tall figure with white rabbit ears and a tail ran across Five's view in the hall through the open door. He was about to alert (Y/n) but she had fallen asleep next to him. He turned back to the thing. It was an old man with an all too familiar face. He heard the man-rabbit say to itself, "Dear lord! I shall be too late!" Five knew that voice, he knew the voice of his dad Reginald Hargreeves from anywhere, but he convinced himself he was hallucinating. After all, Reginald was deceased. But when the man-rabbit took a watch out of his waistcoat pocket, Five started to his feet.

He ran across the courtyard after it. "Hey! Hey, wait! Stop!" He was just in time to see it run to the corner of the courtyard and pop in a large rabbit hole under the hedge.

Hesitating as he was always one to think something through, Five was far too curious about the Reginald with white rabbit ears and puffball tail and down went Five after it.

The rabbit hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way and then dipped suddenly down, so Five found himself falling down what felt like a very deep well. He had the mind to spacial jump to the bottom but because he didn't know where the bottom was, he had to stick to falling.

Down, down, down in the rabbit hole he went.

Either the hole was very deep, or he fell very slowly since he had plenty of time to look around him. He looked at the sides of the dirt hole and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and bookshelves, a couple times he saw globes and maps and pictures.
