Five Hargreeves x Fem!reader
Warnings: none
Five Hargreeves and his siblings had found themselves once again displaced in time. This time, it was the 1980s. They were stranded, trying to find a way back to their own era, but the path was fraught with complications. Amidst the chaos of adjusting to yet another time period, Five met Y/N.
Y/N was different from anyone he had ever known. She had a resilience and warmth that drew him in, despite his usual reluctance to let anyone get close. They met at a local library, where Five had been researching potential leads on how to return to his own time. Y/N, a librarian with an insatiable curiosity, had offered to help him with his mysterious inquiries.
Over time, their shared moments turned from purely professional to deeply personal. They would spend evenings together, discussing everything from history to their hopes and fears. Five found himself opening up to Y/N in ways he hadn't with anyone else. And Y/N, despite sensing there was much he wasn't telling her, found herself falling for the enigmatic time traveler.
One evening, they were sitting in a small café, the warm glow of the setting sun casting a golden hue over everything. Five looked at Y/N, her laughter infectious as she recounted a funny story from her childhood. But beneath his smile, a heaviness weighed on his heart. He knew their time together was running out.
"Y/N," he said, his voice uncharacteristically soft. "There's something I need to tell you."
She looked at him, her smile fading as she saw the seriousness in his eyes. "What is it, Five?"
He took a deep breath, struggling to find the right words. "I'm not from here. Not just this place, but this time. My siblings and I, we're from the future, and we've been trying to get back."
Y/N's eyes widened, her mind racing to comprehend what he was saying. "The future? How far?"
"Far enough," he replied. "But now we've found a way back, and... I have to leave."
The weight of his words settled between them, the reality of their situation hitting Y/N like a tidal wave. "You're leaving?"
Five nodded, pain evident in his eyes. "I don't want to, but I have to. My family needs me, and we have responsibilities in our own time."
Y/N looked down, her heart breaking. "How long do we have?"
"Just a few more days," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.
Tears welled up in Y/N's eyes, but she fought to keep her composure. "I knew there was something different about you, something extraordinary. But I never imagined this."
Five reached across the table, taking her hand in his. "I wish things were different. I wish I could stay."
They spent those final days together, cherishing every moment. They visited Y/N's favorite spots, shared stories, and made the most of the limited time they had. Each day was a bittersweet reminder of the impending goodbye.
On the last day, Five and Y/N stood at the spot where he would meet his siblings to travel back. The sun was setting, casting long shadows across the ground.
"Promise me something," Y/N said, her voice trembling.
"Anything," Five replied, his own emotions threatening to overwhelm him.
"Promise me you'll remember me, wherever you end up," she said, tears streaming down her face.
Five pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. "I promise, Y/N. I'll never forget you."
Their final kiss was tender and filled with a mix of love and sorrow. As they pulled apart, Five's siblings appeared, ready to make the jump back to their own time.
Five turned to Y/N one last time, his heart aching. "Goodbye, Y/N."
"Goodbye, Five," she whispered, watching as he joined his siblings.
With a flash of light, they were gone, leaving Y/N standing alone, her heart shattered but filled with the memories of their time together.
Back in their own time, Five carried Y/N's memory with him, a beacon of light in the dark corners of his life. And Y/N, though heartbroken, knew that she had been part of something extraordinary, something that transcended time itself.
