as y/n woke up, rubbing her eyes. she felt her head in pain for a while like she was in a hangover even though she didn't even drink some liquor or something. she groaned, shifting at her bed, and sat down, she thought maybe it was the side effect of shapeshifting for too long making her try to go back to her old self but it wasn't working making her gasp and stood up, stumbling to look at the mirror.
staring at herself for minutes trying to shapeshift to her other, she tried to shapeshift as her siblings and it worked but not back to her original form. it always goes back to her thirteen-year-old self. "shit." she turned around and teleported out of her room, to look for her siblings and tell them about it.
"where the hell is everybody?" she replied, spatial jumped to the room they were in earlier ago, then stopped in her tracks when she heard voices in the dining room, making her walk to where the voices were coming from, looking at them from behind, in a panicking voice, "guys! i was looking for all of you and you guys can't believe what just happened! i can't—"
she stopped in her tracks, her eyes widening, she saw five in front of them with peanut butter in hand doing his sandwich in a suit that looked big at him, blinking once, twice, "okay, shit. i'm dreaming. everything makes sense."
"you're not dreaming, y/n." allison commented.
"double shit." y/n commented, not understanding anything that was happening, she was staring at five while he was looking at her too. first, she can't shapeshift back to her old self. second, five is present. alive. breathing. before anyone could speak, "you know what...i need to think" she added before spatial jumped out of the room.
but seconds passed, she came back again using the same ability to see the same thing she left before finally fainting because of too much to take while five lay the peanut butter on the table catching her with his ability just in time.
"well, nice to see nothing's changed." five commented as he scooped her into his arms walking out of the area with y/n in his arms. "uh, that's it? that's all you have to say?" allison asked in unbelief as five replied, "what else is there to say? the circle of life."
five finally got out of the room leaving the rest of his siblings awestruck as luther spoke, "well...that was interesting."
time passed, y/n was back in her room, waking up as she rubbed her eyes. feeling deja vu. she sat down to see five at the door while looking at her. he was wearing the umbrella academy's uniform making her stumble a bit when she stood up. and did the shittiest thing to confirm if he's really him.
"...suit the action to the word,"
"the word to the action."
her eyes softened when he finished the quote, shakespeare's hamlet book she loved and there's no way anyone knows that like he does. this made her spatial jump in front of him and hug him clutching at his back, "welcome back."
