The Umbrella Academy Oneshots

Together Part 1- Five x GNReader

A/N: This fic is loosely inspired by @sxtaep 's story "old married couple" honestly please check it out because it is super good. Also, I apologize for taking so long to do a Five story, I struggled for ages to think of a story idea.

Readers POV. 2nd Person (Flash Back):

     You have been friends with Five and the rest of the Hargreeves since you were children. You spent as much as your time with the Umbrellas as possible. Thankfully Reginald didn't mind you stopping at the academy after Pogo scolded him when he tried to yell at you once. When growing up a mutual adoration began between you and Five, the others thought you were simply the best of friends. That was somewhat true considering you and Five never labelled what you guys were until much later but you've always been more than best friends. Five once admitted that he appreciated your kindness and ability to see the bright side of life no matter what you've gone through, and you couldn't help but be enamored by his witty comments and sarcastic demeaner. Your relationship was an opposites attract scenario since day one. Attached at the hip and chatting away as much as possible which is why on that faithful day when Five snapped at Reginald claiming he was ready to jump through time you knew you couldn't let him go at it alone. 

     You remember how he stormed away from the dining table, red in the face, clearly upset. You knew right then and there that he was going to do it anyways. You also knew that you could never forgive yourself if you let him try all alone. You abruptly stood up and made your way in the direction Fives went in, ignoring the other Hargreeves yelling after you. You found him pacing around and running his hands through his hair. It was an uphill battle on your part to try convincing him to let you join, but he eventually gave in. He clasped your hand is his, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes. The feeling of jumping through time is something you'll never forget, the rush that went through your body made you feel weightless but Fives hand in yours grounded you. 

Readers POV. 2nd Person (Present Time):

     Your eyes slowly flutter open only to snap back shut at the sight that greets you. Absolute chaos surrounds you, buildings destroyed, corpses littering the ground. Hands cupping your face makes you jump. "Shh Y/N it's just me, Five. Can you open your eyes for me?" You release a shaky breath at the familiar voice and your eyes open once more as his hands begin rubbing soothing circles on your cheeks. He looks just as worried as you, but you can tell that he's trying to stay calm for your sake. "Just keep your eyes on me alright?" You can only nod at him, body still in shock. He tries his best at giving you a smile, but it wobbles and eventually falls. Though short lived his shaky smile gives you a small amount of hope. "Alright I'm going to take a look around..." he goes to continue speaking but once he catches a look of your panicked eyes he pauses. "What if something happens?" You can't help but worry for him along with that fact that Five and you may be the only people left alive. His hands drop from your face and his eyes flicker around, "as much as I hate to say this, I don't think there's anything left around to hurt us." You can't bring yourself to look around as he just did but you know he must be right. You eventually mumble "al-alright yeah... just be careful please." His eyes soften and he reaches for you again, you lean into the touch. He hesitates for a moment before resting his forehead against yours "I'll be fine." Just like that the touch is gone and Five is heading off to investigate the area. 

Time Skip:

     You've lost track of how much time has passed but it must be around 5 years. After that first day in, what Five calls the apocalypse, you focused on surviving. Five is always on the hunt for food while you check rubble and surviving buildings for any sort of supplies. At nighttime Five likes to spend his time calculating and trying to get you guys back home. You tend to feel useless considering there's not much you can do to help but Five always reminds you that he would have gone crazy long ago if he didn't have you with him. Speaking of you and Five, the both of you have grown even closer, often spending the cold nights wrapped in each other's arms. Though the unofficial title still stands the both of you know that it's only a matter of time before that changes.
