Number Five Imagines

Love, Hate, and the Hargreeves

Five Hargreeves x Fem!reader

Warnings: none

Five Hargreeves had always been known for his sharp mind and sharper tongue. Y/N, his girlfriend, was no different. Their relationship was a fiery mix of love and playful antagonism, a dynamic that often left the rest of the Hargreeves family in stitches. Today was no exception.

The siblings had gathered in the living room of the Umbrella Academy, the air filled with the scent of popcorn and the sound of laughter. Klaus had found an old box of family videos and insisted on a movie night, much to everyone's amusement.

Y/N and Five sat on the couch, bickering over which movie to watch.

"I'm telling you, Five, 'The Princess Bride' is a classic!" Y/N argued, holding the DVD case up for emphasis.

"And I'm telling you, Y/N, if I have to hear 'As you wish' one more time, I might throw myself into a time vortex," Five retorted, rolling his eyes.

Diego snickered from his spot on the floor. "Ah, the sweet sound of true love."

"Viktor," Y/N pleaded, turning to him for support. "Back me up here. 'The Princess Bride' is timeless, right?"

Viktor smiled, enjoying the show. "It is, but watching you two argue is better entertainment."

Luther, munching on a handful of popcorn, chimed in. "You know, Five, for a guy who's been through the apocalypse, you're surprisingly bad at picking battles."

Five shot him a glare. "And for a guy who's part gorilla, you're surprisingly bad at shutting up."

Klaus, sprawled out on the other couch, giggled. "Oh, leave them alone, Luther. This is their foreplay."

Y/N and Five both turned a shade of red, but neither was willing to back down.

"Fine," Five said, crossing his arms. "We'll watch 'The Princess Bride'. But if I start quoting it sarcastically, you have only yourself to blame."

Y/N grinned triumphantly. "Deal. And for the record, if you don't cry when Inigo Montoya gets his revenge, you're heartless."

Five smirked. "Oh, don't worry. My heart's in perfect working order. Unlike some people's taste in movies."

As the opening credits rolled, the siblings settled in, occasionally glancing at Five and Y/N, who were now sitting unusually close, sharing a bowl of popcorn. The movie played on, and true to his word, Five couldn't resist a few sarcastic comments.

"'My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.' Classic line," Five deadpanned. "Really hits you in the feels."

Y/N nudged him playfully. "Shut up and watch, smartass."

Halfway through the movie, during the iconic fire swamp scene, Klaus leaned over to Diego, whispering loudly enough for everyone to hear, "Do you think they're actually fighting, or is this some weird foreplay we don't understand?"

Diego chuckled. "Given how they are, it's probably both."

Y/N threw a piece of popcorn at Klaus. "We can hear you, you know!"

Klaus caught it and popped it into his mouth. "Just saying, you two have the sexual tension of a rom-com."

Five rolled his eyes but couldn't hide a smirk. "And you have the brain of a goldfish, but we still keep you around."

Laughter erupted, and even Y/N couldn't help but join in. The teasing was relentless, but it was also filled with affection. The Hargreeves were a dysfunctional family, but they were a family nonetheless.

As the movie reached its climax, Five found himself genuinely engrossed. He glanced at Y/N, who was watching with a look of pure joy on her face. Despite their constant bickering, he loved seeing her happy.

The final scene played out, and as the credits rolled, Viktor turned to them, grinning. "So, how was it, Five? Are you a 'Princess Bride' fan now?"

Five shrugged, trying to look nonchalant. "It wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen."

Y/N beamed. "I'll take that as a win."

Klaus jumped up, stretching dramatically. "Well, this was fun. Let's do it again sometime. Preferably with more popcorn and less bickering."

Diego smirked. "Less bickering? With these two? Not a chance."

Five stood, pulling Y/N up with him. "Come on, Y/N. Let's leave these amateurs to their popcorn."

Y/N laughed, following him out of the room. "As you wish."

The siblings burst into laughter again, and Five couldn't help but smile. Their love/hate relationship might be a source of endless teasing, but it was also what made them, well, them.

As they walked down the hallway, Y/N slipped her hand into Five's. "Thanks for watching the movie with me, Five."

He squeezed her hand, his usual sarcasm softened by genuine affection. "Anytime, Y/N. Just don't expect me to quote it back to you."

"Oh, I wouldn't dream of it," she teased.

And with that, they continued down the hall, ready for whatever adventures and arguments lay ahead, knowing that as long as they had each other—and the Hargreeves' relentless teasing—they could handle anything.
