I'm sorry I had to leave you all alone, didn't want to wake you. Got a call from the police station to bail Diego out. I'll explain later when I see you for lunch. Love, Ben.
Y/N read the note over and over again, smiling at Ben's messy scrawl which was boldly written in dark ink on the white piece of parchment. She turned it in over in her hand a few times before folding it and placing it in one of her jacket pockets.
"Good. You're here." Five stood in the doorway of the living room, his gaze resting on Y/N who sat at the bar.
"Five! I'm glad you're alive." She admitted, springing up from her place to approach him. "The donut shop... last night-".
"I'll explain everything to you and Ben." He promised.
"Well, Ben's gone out. You can tell us both later when you join us for lunch." Five nodded at that.
"I need your help." He then spoke up, but was interrupted by a groan coming from a suit clad Klaus who had just stumbled in.
"Five, I'm hungry!" He whined, a pout on his face. It soon turned into a smile when he saw his favorite woman standing with his brother. Five sighed.
"Y/N, I'm hungry!" He repeated to her, and he gasped in delight when she produced a chocolate bar from her purse and gave it to him.
"Eat this for now, we'll have lunch soon.".
Five watched his druggie brother happily accept the treat and trot over to sit on a couch as he began unwrapping it. He made sure that the man was focused on eating the chocolate before turning back to Y/N.
"I need you to pretend to be my aunt."
The woman blinked a few times in shock before giggling at his request, it seemed so out of the blue.
"Why? Parent teacher conference at your school?"
"You are no longer my favorite team member. Nevermind. I'll ask Vanya." He started, beginning to walk away but Y/N stopped him by placing her hand on his shoulder.
"No! Alright, I'll help. But why?"
"I'll explain everything on the way there, just come with me. I need adults, and the more, the better.".
Y/N groaned but began following him out. Klaus got the signal and stood up as well.
"I better not get into trouble for doing anything illegal, Five." Y/N threatened, and scarily, the boy didn't ease her fears. Instead, he gave her a smirk.
"I hope you don't, because I cannot bail anymore people out." Came the sweet voice of Ben. Sure enough, when Y/N stepped into the entrance hall a second later, there he was, playing with the car keys. She ran to him.
"What happened to Diego?" She asked after giving him a quick kiss.
Ben opened his mouth to offer an explanation but was cut short by Five blinking next to him and taking the car keys out of his hand.
"I'll drive, Ben. He's coming with us, Y/N." Was all he said before disappearing once again, presumably to the car.
"That's Uncle Ben and Aunt Y/N to you, young man!" Klaus wagged a finger at the empty spot where Five had stood.
"Did you steal dad's suit?" Ben asked curiously, the trio beginning to make their way to the car parked outside.
"Steal? Oh no, no, no! I prefer to say that I permanently borrowed it." Klaus extravagantly turned and moved to show off his new outfit.
Y/N shook her head with a sigh at those words, but clapped at Klaus' display nonetheless. Ben gave a little smile.
"Well, keep it. Not like the old man will want it now." he said, and Y/N laughed a bit at those words, but covered it up with a cough. She waved to Five in the distance.
"You know what they say," he now spoke to his girlfriend, "Os-i nalgae-da.".
"Do I look like I speak Korean?" She questioned.
"You don't?!" Ben asked in mock disbelief with a chuckle. It was soon halted when Y/N responded.
"I do," she started with a grin, "'Clothes are wings'".
Ben nearly tripped on the pavement at that, luckily Klaus was there to steady him. Y/N gave him a kiss on the cheek, ignoring his dumbstruck expression before rushing to join Five who now sat in the drivers seat of their car.
"You taught her Korean?" Klaus inquired.
"I didn't... She's never learnt it.".
"I wouldn't ponder over it too much Benerino, maybe she learnt in secret to surprise you." Klaus was seemingly unaffected as he sprinted to Y/N to ask for more chocolate.
It really shouldn't have been a cause for concern, maybe it was just the events of the past few days making Ben extra cautious, but he couldn't help but be wary as he climbed into the car to sit beside his fiancee.
Especially when she started mumbling to herself in Welsh.
(I'm sorry if you speak Welsh just pretend you don't speak it, I'm going somewhere with this 😭)
