Five x Zero One Shots

Trans

Not canon bc Zero is a cis girl but if she was trans, this is what would happen

------

"Fuck, Klaus, I just.. God, I don't know what to do." I confess to Klaus, holding my head in my hands. "What if he hates me? What if he never loves me again?"

"You guys have been together for almost 50 fucking years, dude. He loves you to Hell and back."

"And that entire time I've been a girl!" I cry out, holding back tears. "He's straight, Klaus, he calls me feminine pet names and he likes my feminine body."

"He would understand."

"But what if he doesn't? God, I- I can't lose him, Klaus." I look up at him. "I love him to the death. I'm- I'm afraid I'll keep myself feminine for him so I won't lose him. I'm afraid I'll never be comfortable in my body so he'll stay comfortable with me." Tears escape my eyes.

"Hey," Klaus looks at me, frowning. "He'll understand. And if he is a jackass about it, it proves he doesn't deserve you."

"So what, I'll just through 47 years down the fucking drain? I can't do that-" I choke on my tears.

"You're a kid again, Zero, you have the unique opportunity of redoing your life over."

"But- god, he's been with me through everything."

"And if he lets this get in the way of that, he's not worth it. He doesn't truly love you if he can't love all of you."

"But- god, Klaus, I might fucking kill myself if I lose him over this stupid shit."

"It's not stupid, it's your fucking identity and way of being."

"But it's a selfish reason to lose him. God, I'll-"

"I will stay by you at all times if I have to so you don't do anything stupid." Klaus grabs my hand.

"Thanks, Klaus.."

"Come on, let's head back. I'll be with you the entire time you talk to him."

"Okay," I nod, his support helping a lot.

"Ah, there's my beautiful girl!" Five runs up to me and hugs me tight when I enter the house with Klaus. I feel Klaus cringing but I take my hand from his and I hug Five back.

"Hey Five, sorry I left on such short notice." I apologize, anxiously holding him back. He feels my off-ness and pulls away, holding my shoulders.

"Are you okay? What's going on? And why-" He looks over at Klaus. He remembers back to how I was holding his hand as we entered. His heart stops and he looks back at me. "Why were you with Klaus?"

"We were just.. hanging out.." I mumble, looking away. His anxiety grows and I feel like I'm about to cry.

"Zero?"

"I-" I try but it becomes too much and I burst into tears.

"Hey, hey, it's okay," Klaus grabs me to comfort me. Five pulls away and Klaus brings me into his arms. I cry into his chest. Five looks at us.

"Zero, please tell me what's going on." He says sternly, hands in fists. Anxiety and anger. It's overwhelming.

"Give them a second, Five." Klaus says, rubbing my back. Using they/them pronouns.

"What the hell is going on?" Five asks me again, holding his breath. Gritting through his teeth.

"I-" I pull away from Klaus when I can control myself. I look at the ground, not being able to look at him. "I know what you're thinking, Five, and it's not that." I put my hands in my pockets. I feel Klaus rubbing my shoulder.
