Five Hargreeves stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his tie for what felt like the hundredth time. His siblings had given him endless grief about his nerves, but he wanted everything to be perfect. Tonight was his first official date with Y/N, and despite all the apocalyptic scenarios he had faced, this felt like one of his biggest challenges yet.
"Are you sure you don't want some advice?" Klaus called from the living room, a teasing lilt in his voice.
Five rolled his eyes. "I'm fine, Klaus. Just... try not to burn the house down while I'm gone."
Klaus laughed, giving him a thumbs-up as Five left the house, determination in every step.
Five had planned everything meticulously. Dinner at an upscale restaurant, followed by a moonlit walk in the park. But the universe, it seemed, had other plans.
As Five and Y/N arrived at the restaurant, the hostess informed them that their reservation had been lost. No amount of Five's usual intimidating glares could change the fact that the restaurant was fully booked.
"I'm so sorry, Five," Y/N said, trying to hide her disappointment. "Maybe we can find somewhere else?"
Five sighed, his frustration palpable, but he forced a smile. "It's okay. Let's try that little Italian place down the street."
They walked to the Italian restaurant, only to find a sign on the door: "Closed for Renovations."
Y/N giggled, trying to lighten the mood. "I guess the universe is testing our patience."
Five couldn't help but laugh. "Seems like it. How about we grab some takeout and head to the park anyway?"
With a pizza box in hand, they strolled through the park, the moon casting a gentle glow over the path. They found a bench by the lake and sat down, sharing the pizza and talking about everything and nothing.
Five found himself relaxing, the mishaps of the evening fading away as they laughed and talked. Y/N's presence was soothing, her laughter infectious.
"Who knew pizza on a park bench could be so nice?" Y/N mused, taking another bite.
Five smiled, feeling a warmth spread through him. "I'm just glad you're enjoying yourself."
As they finished the pizza, Five noticed a small band setting up nearby, preparing for an impromptu performance. The first notes of a soft, romantic song floated through the air, and Five saw an opportunity.
"May I have this dance?" he asked, offering Y/N his hand.
She blushed but took his hand, letting him lead her to a small clearing. They danced slowly, the music wrapping around them like a warm embrace.
"Despite everything that went wrong, this turned out pretty great," Y/N whispered.
Five looked into her eyes, feeling a surge of emotion. "It's not about the plans, it's about who you're with."
As the song ended, they stood there for a moment, lost in each other's gaze. Then, almost instinctively, they leaned in and shared their first kiss. It was soft and tender, filled with the promise of more to come.
When they finally pulled away, Y/N smiled, her cheeks flushed. "I think this is the best first date I've ever had."
Five chuckled, his heart light. "Me too."
They walked back to the bench, hand in hand, and sat down, watching the reflections of the moon on the lake. The night hadn't gone as planned, but it had been perfect in its own way.
And as they sat there, content in each other's company, Five realized that sometimes, the best moments are the ones you don't plan for.
