I'm Stuck! [The Umbrella Academy : Five Hargreeves X Reader]

Chapter Thirteen

[Name] was the first to exit the car, opening the door and getting major deja vu as she saw Hazel's back facing them.

Five decided to sit on Hazel's right, as she sat on the boy's other side in case Hazel decides to use her as some sort of leverage.

Hazel jolted up upon seeing Five and the girl, gazing at both warily but not doing anything with Agnes right in front of them.

"Coffee, black," Five ordered, looking at Agnes blankly.

Agnes first looked at them with a frown, an expression that shows she's trying to place where she'd seen them before immediately lighting up. "Oh it's you two!" Agnes cooed. "I am glad to see you both alright! I was worried something might have happened when you left. Especially you, sweetie, I was afraid when I didn't hear from you after you left." She said solemnly, causing the girl to feel guilty.

"Yes, I'm so sorry for making you worry, Agnes. But this guy here just, uh, came back for me and pulled me away immediately before we could get hurt." [Name] said with a small smile, using her palm to point at Five beside her.

"Oh it's alright, no need to worry." She said with an ecstatic smile before morphing into a knowing one as she looked back and forth at the two. "I feel like I've seen you two almost always together, that first time with his dad, and now here, too. Are you two.."

The girl's eyes widened at this, immediately shaking her head. "Oh, no, no, no! We're just.. friends! Yeah.. definitely." Her voice going low in hesitation. "Besides, he's too old for me." She said with an innocent smile as Agnes gazed at them in confusion, only seeing two seemingly-of-the-same-age young adults.

"You know that's not true. Technically, you're older than me." Five replied.

"Technically, you're older than me in mind and I'm older in body." She said with a quirk of her lips.

"Technically, we're of the same age." Five again noted, raising an eyebrow in reminder of their birthdate.

"Ah semantics," she gave up with a wave of her hand as she looked at Agnes who was quite clearly bewildered at the exchange. "Sorry about that, he can be quite confusing." Followed by a glare from him she chose to ignore.

"But can I have a glass of water and fries, please? Thank you!" She directed to Agnes, and then looked at Five again. "Are you not gonna eat anything? I feel like it's unhealthy to just drink coffee without anything to pair with it. And you're paying, right?"

He rolled his eyes but muttered, "And a donut." Agnes smiled at the both of them as she went to the kitchen.

"What are you doing here?" Hazel was immediately hostile as soon as she was out of sight, a hand next to the gun on his thigh.

Five was just calm as he looked at the agent, boredom etching his expression. "I was just here to get a coffee. What are you doing here?" He asked with a raised brow, but already knowing what based on the interaction he had seen earlier.

"I just came here for a donut."

"Sure, so I'm assuming getting rid of the waitress wouldn't be a problem?" Five asked in false joviality, his sarcastic grin in place.

"Don't you dare," this time the gun was now pointed at Five's head, the boy still sitting calmly as [Name] panicked.

"Why don't this shop be a place for truce and no violence shall happen? I don't think Agnes would be quite happy if she saw you pointing a gun at a kid inside her shop," the girl tried to bid, feigning indifference if it weren't for her fidgeting fingers. She was surprised when Five's hand suddenly covered it, her glancing up but seeing that he's having a staring competition with Hazel.
