Five couldn't stop thinking about her—Y/n, the Sparrow Academy's enigmatic fighter who had managed to leave an impression on him even amidst the chaos of their first encounter. It was frustrating. He had more important things to focus on, like finding a way back to their own timeline and figuring out how to prevent another apocalypse, but thoughts of Y/n kept creeping back into his mind.
Days passed, and despite his best efforts to stay focused, he found himself hoping for another encounter. It wasn't long before his wish was granted.
The next time Five saw Y/n, it was by chance—another unexpected crossing of their paths. He was alone, scouting for clues that might help them fix the timeline, when he spotted her in a crowded marketplace, her Sparrow Academy uniform barely visible under a simple jacket. She seemed out of place, yet completely at ease, blending in with the bustling crowd.
For a moment, Five considered avoiding her altogether, but something pulled him toward her. Before he could think better of it, he started walking in her direction. She noticed him instantly, her eyes widening in surprise before a slow smile spread across her face.
"Small world," she said, her tone playful.
"Too small," Five replied, matching her stride as they walked side by side. "What are you doing here?"
"Just needed a break from the chaos," she said with a shrug. "And you?"
"Same," he lied, not wanting to reveal too much.
They walked in silence for a few minutes, the tension between them palpable. Finally, Y/n broke the silence.
"You know, my siblings would kill me if they knew I was talking to you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Five smirked. "That makes two of us."
Despite the serious tone of their conversation, there was an undercurrent of something else—something neither of them wanted to acknowledge yet couldn't ignore.
Back at the Sparrow Academy, Y/n's mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. She couldn't deny that she was drawn to Five, but the tension between their families made everything more complicated. It didn't help that her siblings, especially Ben, were always on high alert, ready to fight at a moment's notice.
Y/n needed to talk to someone, to get her thoughts straight, so she sought out the only person she could trust with this—Sloane.
She found her sister in the library, flipping through a book with a distant look in her eyes.
"Sloane, can we talk?" Y/n asked, her voice hesitant.
Sloane looked up, concern etched on her face. "Of course. What's on your mind?"
Y/n took a deep breath, trying to figure out how to explain the confusion that had been gnawing at her. "It's about Five. The one from the Umbrella Academy."
Sloane's eyebrows shot up in surprise, but she nodded for Y/n to continue.
"I keep running into him," Y/n admitted, her voice soft. "And... I don't know, Sloane. There's something about him that I can't shake. He's different from the rest of them."
Sloane's expression softened as she listened. "And you like him?"
Y/n hesitated before nodding. "Yeah, I think I do. But I'm trying to hide it from everyone, especially Ben. I don't want to cause more problems."
Sloane reached out, placing a comforting hand on Y/n's arm. "It's okay to feel this way, Y/n. We can't always control who we're drawn to. And if it means anything, I understand what you're going through."
Y/n looked at her sister, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "You mean with Luther?"
Sloane blushed but nodded. "Yeah. He's different too, and I can't help but feel something when I'm around him. But it's complicated, with everything going on."
Y/n sighed, feeling a bit of relief at having shared her feelings. "What do I do, Sloane? I can't just ignore this, but I don't want to hurt anyone either."
Sloane smiled gently. "You have to follow your heart, Y/n. I know it sounds cliché, but it's the truth. And who knows? Maybe Five feels the same way."
The next time Y/n and Five met, it was in secret, away from prying eyes. They talked more openly, sharing bits of their lives and the burdens they carried. The chemistry between them only grew stronger, but they both knew the risks involved.
One night, after yet another secret meeting, Y/n returned to the Sparrow Academy with her heart racing. She couldn't keep pretending that she didn't care about Five, but how could she reconcile her feelings with the loyalty she felt toward her family?
As she lay awake in bed, staring at the ceiling, she couldn't help but think about Sloane's words. Follow your heart. It sounded so simple, but Y/n knew that nothing about their situation was simple.
Still, as she drifted off to sleep, a small smile played on her lips. No matter how complicated things got, there was one thing she couldn't deny—she wanted to see Five again, and she would do whatever it took to make that happen.
