ROSES AND FLAMES - Five Hargreeves

𝟬𝟮. a visit to vanyas

"Five enough, it's been a busy day, not to mention people are going to come for not only you— but me too. We both broke a contract." Josie groaned; taking off the shoes until five threw them back at her. "We're going to the kitchen, I need some coffee."

Mocking him, Josie skipped her boots back on and followed him, shaking her head. "Quit it." Five demanded, ignoring Klaus' presence holding a guitar. "Ah do you play?" Josie asked, confusing Klaus. "Play what?" He asked, looking at five.

After not finding any coffee and saying goodbye to Allison and Klaus; the two went into a car where both of them looked at each other.

"You drive." Five said, realizing they'll have to switch places.

"What— Why?" Josie asked, taking off her seatbelt.

"My, uh.. just switch!" While five got out of the car, Josie climbed her way fo the pedals and knew five couldn't reach the pedal, giggling a little.

"Shut up and drive." Five scoffed, putting his seat belt on. "Yes Mr. "I know how to do everything."

Driving to her favourite place, Josie hoped they were still open, parking across the street to Griddys Doughnuts.

"You've been here?" Five asks, getting out of the car and walking. "Course, used to sneak out of my house and eat until I puked on the side of the building." Josie tried to ignore the smirk on number Fives face, walking beside him.

I wonder if we've met here once or twice. Josie also wondered that, possibly— however she would've recognized him.. right?

Opening the door and sitting at the counter; Josie took the honour to ring the bell, hearing the door open again.

"Can we also take a trip to the nearest clothing store? You look like you're going to a private school." Josie suggested, seeing five roll his eyes as the man from the door sat down beside them.

The waitress finally arrived and asked the man what he wanted; soon asking what his kids wanted, meeting fives face, both snorting. 

"Can I get a sprinkle doughnut and a chocolate milkshake?" Josie asked with a smile, going from drinking alcohol at 30 and now being 16 and going back to her favourite drink.

"The other kid wants coffee, black." Five said, getting nudged by Josie, making him smile.

"Cute kids." The waitress said, getting the two doughnuts and soon making the drinks.

"I got these two." The man said, having Josie thank him with her mouth full. Eating her doughnut and thanking the woman for the milkshake, Josie zoned out as five talked to the older gentleman.

I hope they don't find me. Josie read fives thought, drinking and minding their business. Josie wondered what other thoughts were in his mind, hearing everyone else's thoughts and not his.

"It's quiet in that little brain of yours." Josie slurped on her milkshake, observing fives screwed up face.

When the man left, Josie and five went stiff, hearing the door ring and silence taking over the whole room. Josie bit her lip as she chugged her milkshake

"Fuck, I told you they'd come." Josie gritted, slamming the desk. Five put his hand on hers and trying to tell Josie to act calm when they started to slowly come in.

Calm my ass.

"That was fast." Five said in a smart ass tone. Josie rolled her eyes; looking back at how many men were in the room. "Thought we'd have a little bit more time before you found us."
