ROSES AND FLAMES - Five Hargreeves

𝟮𝟲. luther sucks at stories

Josie wasn't too surprised when she saw Luther be in a ring, getting absolutely demolished by a big guy like him, trying to not cheer for the man as five and vanya yell at their brother to fight back. Josie noticed the guy on Luther's side, Jack Ruby. She had been to their club a few times for the drinks, almost being offered a job there too.

It seemed Luther had lost the match as she watched the man take one more beating before he fell to the ground, cheers and boo's surrounding the place with wads of cash in their hands. "Damn." Josie grimaced, looking at the man beside her who had the same reaction.

"Waste of my ten dollars." The man told her, leaving. Turning back to Vanya and five, the two decided to stay as everyone else cleared out, watching their brother lay on the ground, unconscious. "What do we do now?" Josie asked, mainly towards Five, walking away with everyone else.

"I want to speak to Luther." Vanya spoke up, standing in front of Josie and five, practically demanding them. "What now? The man is unconscious probably." Josie said, turning to look at five.

"So? He has to wake up eventually," five shrugged his shoulders, looking at his sister. "Fine, you go up, we'll stay by the car." He told her, grabbing Josie by the arm to leave.

"Why aren't we going with her? She is still confused." Josie asked, shimming out of fives strength of having her arm, walking together in sync. "Because it's not our problem, she wants to see Luther, then let her see him." Five said, leaving the building and heading back to their car.

Josie didn't reply, mentally thinking she rather not say out loud, shrugging her shoulders. She thinks I'm stupid doesn't she? Five said in his head, Josie smirking at that thought he had. "I do by the way." She smirked, standing in front of five who was leaning on the car.

"I've told you to not do that." Five told Josie, the girl only inching further. "I forgot." She said innocently, fixing the boys hair. Josie wish she had given him more clothes to wear, liking the white shirt and black shorts he picked, a refreshing sight from the horrid uniform he used to wear.

"Can I say that this looks way better on you than what you were wearing?" She asked, five titling his head at her, his arms still crossed. "Never thought I'd see the day Josie Parker be nice towards me for fun." His sarcasm dripped out of his mouth, uncrossing his arms and placing them on Josies' waist.

"You're such a dick sometimes." The brunette mumbled, five making her move a little closer. She didn't want to show how every time he touched her, fireworks would explode, knowing there was still a touch of fire that was still lit between the two, the flame burning.

"Like you're any better." Five scoffed, their banter still happening even though they're two feet apart from kissing one another. "I am less of a bitch than you are." Josie sassed, fives grip on her waist becoming a little harsher.

"It's just the way I am Parker, take it or leave it." Josie rolled her eyes, smiling at five. "Should we check in on them? It's been a while." Josie changed the subject, twirling to stand behind them, not wanting stares from the elders walking by.

"No, they'll be okay. I'm more worried about you though, Parker." Five said; his hand slowly moving to grab hers, staring each other. His eyes always looked so comfortable whenever she was around; Josie knew it, but she didn't think five did, furrowing her eyebrows at his moment.

"Why are you concerned with me? I'm fine with what's happening. I'm just hoping you're able to get everyone back together again." She explained, shrugging her shoulders and not seeing a problem with anything. "Last time this happened you were the same way, you don't care if you die or not?" Five asked, a concerned look glistening in his eyes.
