In The Future | Five Hargreeves

22 | Start of jealousy

"Adie?"

The man smirked, putting his hands into his pockets while the girl was examining him from head to toe. He was taller and did not look like the Adie she knew.

"There's something different about you..." she said and forced him to turn around, searching for something different.

"Aha! You're in love." she guessed, not realizing Five was listening to them talking after looking around the store.

Adie leaned into her ear, "Don't expose the truth, Dad is watching us." he whispered before pulling a white feather in the back of her neck, "You got something on your back." he smirked and drop the feather.

She felt her cheeks go warm while thinking about how her son could learn to flirt like that. Did he take lessons in secret?

Before she could reply, they heard someone clear their throat seeing Five forcing a smile at the two, his hands stuffed in his pockets like Adie.

"Uhh... Adie this is Five. Five, this is Adie." she introduced as Adie suddenly held his mother's hand.

"You know, My Y/N—" he mistakenly said on purpose that made the boy pierce his eyes at him, "Y/N told me a lot of things about you." he continued.

'What the fuck is he doing?' she thought.

"Really?" Five asked in amusement and looked at the girl, "Then we certainly have a lot of things to talk about."

'No you don't.'

"I'll see you later, amore." Adie said and kiss her hand that he was holding for a while ago, making eye contact with the girl before winking.

Y/N scrunched her face from disgust and quickly took her hand away from her smirking son who grinned at Five before leaving.

She heard Five softly scoff as she slowly turned her head to him, feeling the tension growing and growing. His eyes were scary as hell and she knew she was in deep trouble.

"Just uh... How many guys have you been with? First the French boyfriend and now a wannabe Italian?" he asked in a calm tone.

'He's your son, you idiot.'

"I really have no time to explain now that we have ten days before the apocalypse happens." she avoided the question and went outside followed by Five who still wasn't over the conversation.

"No, I'm not letting you get away with this. I deserve an explanation." he continued and held her wrist "You were gone for ten years, Five. If men have needs then consider women have too." she scoffed walking away, hitting his shoulder on purpose.

The girl walked at a fast pace, her face holding a stern look that made some people look at her, especially a man who was leaning on a car, his arms crossed as he saw the girl pass him making him whistle.

"Nice legs." he exclaimed

She didn't reply anything nor looked at the man until she heard him scream in pain when he felt a bone in his legs crack without a reason causing him to hold it creating attention to some people who unfortunately ignored him.

Five saw this and only made him smirk and ran to follow the girl, "Can I ask you a personal question?" he asked while walking.

"You already asked."

He rolled his eyes and continued what he was saying, "Are you in a relationship with someone?"

The girl stopped walking and looked at him, "Five, your jealousy is showing." she teased "I'm not jealous. I never get jealous." he dismissed immediately making her chuckle a little.
