The mansion was buzzing with the usual chaos, but today's commotion centered around the upstairs bathroom. Muffled sounds of a scuffle echoed through the halls, drawing the attention of Diego and Y/N. The two of them exchanged confused and concerned glances as they stood outside the door.

"What the hell is going on in there?" Diego muttered, his fists clenching instinctively.

Y/N, Five's girlfriend, paced nervously. "I don't know, but it sounds like a fight."

Suddenly, the bathroom door burst open, and Five stumbled out, followed closely by Lila. Both were disheveled, hair askew, and clearly out of breath. They stopped short, surprised to see Diego and Y/N waiting for them.

Diego's eyes narrowed. "What were you two doing in there?"

Lila smirked, wiping a trickle of blood from her lip. "Just a little friendly sparring match. Nothing to get your panties in a twist over."

Y/N's eyes widened, a mix of hurt and anger flashing across her face. "Five, what's going on? Why were you in there with her?"

Five looked from Y/N to Diego, frustration boiling just below the surface. "It's not what it looks like. We were just fighting. You know, training?"

"Training?" Diego echoed skeptically, crossing his arms. "In the bathroom?"

"Yes, Diego, in the bathroom. It was a spontaneous decision." Five snapped, exasperated.

Y/N's expression softened slightly, but doubt still lingered. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Five sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Y/N, do you really think I'd do something like that? With Lila of all people? She's with Diego, for God's sake. And besides..." He stepped closer, his voice gentler now. "You're the only one I'd ever want to be with."

Y/N's anger melted away as she searched his eyes. "I know, but... I just got scared."

Five took her hands in his, his expression earnest. "You have nothing to be scared of. I love you, Y/N. Only you."

Diego, still wary but slightly mollified, turned to Lila. "And you? What were you thinking?"

Lila shrugged nonchalantly. "Just blowing off some steam. Didn't mean to cause a scene." She winked at Diego. "Jealous, are we?"

Diego huffed, but a faint smile tugged at his lips. "Maybe a little."

Five and Y/N shared a small, relieved laugh. Five wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her close. "I promise, next time I'll let you know before I get into any impromptu fights."

Y/N rested her head on his shoulder, feeling the tension finally ebb away. "Please do. I don't need any more surprises like this."

As the group dispersed, heading back downstairs to the relative calm of the living room, Five glanced back at Y/N, a smile playing on his lips. "You know, I'm kind of flattered that you got jealous."

Y/N rolled her eyes, but she couldn't help but smile back. "Don't push your luck, Hargreeves."

Five chuckled, pressing a kiss to her temple. "Wouldn't dream of it."

And as they rejoined the rest of the family, the misunderstanding behind them, Five couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of gratitude for the love and trust he shared with Y/N.
