ROSES AND FLAMES - Five Hargreeves

𝟮𝟰. lovers and family members reunited

Josie has always wondered what she was going to say when five and her reunite. Would she run into him and kiss him? Stare blankly and crush him to death with a hug? Or would she slap him for not coming sooner? The choice was Josie's no matter what, whatever she was feeling in those moments.

The moment where Josie and five come back together has been on her mind since the day she's arrived to Dallas, currently finishing a three mile run for her PE class, huffing and panting beside her teacher as she falls on the grass, letting the sun soak into her skin.

"Good job Sinclair, fastest time yet." Her teacher told the girl, receiving a thumbs up as a boy comes to lay down next to her. "How do you finish so fast? I almost never see you when we run." He asks, panting more than josie.

"Maybe I'm just invisible to you." She joked, laughing to herself as the boy looks at him confusingly.

Keeping herself isolated didn't last long for Josie, still having to attend school and keep her academics up. It was the day after the argument with Marlene, apologizing to her for the fifth time wasn't doing any good, practically getting the silent treatment, treating her like a child.

Again, they were the same age.

Soon getting help they to stand up again, Josie and her class of all boys walked back into the gym, heading to the locker room to change, splashing some water on her face to not have her pores be clogged up, wiping it with her own towel, hearing something.

Being in an all boys class made josie look around, knowing it was an odd time for another to come in, smirking a little when she put the binder down, her body relaxing.

"It was about time you came." Josie said, hearing him come to be in front of her. There he stood, wearing the umbrella academy uniform with the bowling shoes. His face was still the same, his dimple appearing when he began to smile. Josie couldn't help but want to run into his arms, walking over to him.

"I'm sorry, Parker. I just got here a few days ago." The sound of his voice was the same, making josie weak in the knees a little, smiling and caressing his face before she smacked him.

"I've been here for a year, and you arrive only a few days ago?" She angrily asked, shaking her head in disappointment.

"I know okay? I didn't know that was going to happen, trust me Parker I was doing everything to find you— and my family." Five said, ignoring the fact his face was burning red from the slap.

Josie frowned, staring into his eyes we she felt the urge to kiss him, looking down at his lips, noticing five was thinking the same. She melted into the kiss, the intimate feeling of being back with five made her stomach giddy, wanting more. Five gently pushed josie back into the lockers melting more into the kiss as josie felt five's hands gently rest on her lower back.

Before anything else could possibly happen, the two soon pulled away from each other, blushing a little too much as Josie smirked a little at five; clearing their throats. "Could've just locked the door, Parker." He cleared his throat.

Josie rolled her eyes, snapping her out of that trance, continuing to change her clothes, getting five turn around so she could take off the shorts and put her jeans back on.

"Who else have you found then? Other than stalking me in the girls locker room." Josie asked, putting on her tight fitted shirt, letting five look back at her, seeing his eyes widen a little.

The brunette knew she had features that had changed, but the face on five her worried that it was more than minor, narrowing her eyes at him to knock it off. Five soon cleared his throat, helping her out her clothes back into her backpack, smiling at her.
