In The Future | Five Hargreeves

8 | MeriTech

She woke up when she felt Five's body not beside her anymore, she softly opened her eyes to see Five finished drinking his coffee. He saw her and walked towards her, "Good. You're awake." he said.

"Very generous of you though..." he added which caused her to frown and saw Five twirling a knife on his fingers with a smirk.

Her eyes widened and grab it into his hand but he was quick enough to change its direction, "Give it back!" she exclaimed "It's just for emergencies, you know. And did you just touch me without consent?" she asked while trying to get the knife back.

"For your information, I did not touch your thigh, I just saw it." Five corrected and gave the knife back to her.

She rolled her eyes before lifting her skirt, exposing her thigh, and making Five look away. She smirked at his reaction and put the knife back in the hostler, "You do know you can look at me, right?" she smirked.

"This body–" she said and raised her arms, "–is all yours." she continued and winked.

Five cheeks became hot including his eyes causing Y/N to laugh, "Look who's shy now..." she teased "Okay, let's go. I don't like where this is leading." Five shook his head and stuff his hand in his pockets before leaving.

"Don't act like you don't like it. Five, wait!" she called and followed him outside

They arrived at the building called MeriTech while impatiently waiting on the building. And finally, a man with a lab coat went to them, "Uh, can I help you?" he asked and Five turned around.

"I need to know where this belongs to." Five said, showing the eye in his hand "Where did you get that?" the man asked, "What do you care?" Five hissed causing Y/N to hold his arm to warn him to calm down.

"We... We found it... at a playground, actually. Uh, must have just–" Y/N answered and clicked her tongue, "popped out." she continued with a smile.

"We wanna return it to its rightful owner." Five added

"Aw... what a thoughtful young couple." the woman on the desk butted.

"Yeah, look up the name for us, will ya?" Five said "Uh, I'm sorry, but patient records are strictly confidential. That means I can't tell you—" the man in the lab coat replied, "Yeah, I know what it means." Five cutted.

"But I'll tell you what I can do." the man suggested, "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—" he added, about to get the eye out of Five's hand but he hid in his back.

"Yeah, you're not touching this eye." Five said causing the man to look sternly at him.

"Now, you listen here, young man—" the man said but Five's patience was dwindled already and caused him to grab the man's collar aggressively, "No! You listen to me, asshole." Five spat.

"We've come a long way for this, through some shit your pea brain couldn't even comprehend. So just give me the information we need, and we'll be on our merry way."

"And if you call me 'young man' one more time, I'm gonna put your head through that damn wall." Five exclaimed, piercing his eyes at the man.

"Oh, dear..." the woman at the desk said nervously

"Call security." the man whispered

Y/N rolled her eyes and walked straight to the lady at the desk as she held her wrist tightly to stop her from calling security, "Try calling me young lady and see what happens." she whispered softly with a piercing smile.
