My Love, five hargreeves <3

Run boy run

☂︎FLASHBACK☂︎

Y/NS POV:

me and five were sitting on my bed, "are you ever gonna get over your train obsession?" I laughed as I picked up the you train that he brought in.

"hey!" he snatched it off me "trains are cool!" he smiled. "yeah, sure they are." I patted him on the shoulder and smiled sarcastically.

we then heard mom ringing the bell from downstairs. we looked at eachother before getting up and walking down, we saw our other siblings walking in too.

the tv was playing as we stood behind our chairs. we watched as dad walked in without saying a word. he pulled his chair out and stood in-front of it, opposite Vanya.

"sit." he ordered, we all silently sat down, we began eating our breakfast. I was sat opposite five, occasionally I would gesture to dad with my eyes and making a face after, he chuckled under his breath as he watched me.

but I knew something was bothering him, I kept asking earlier but he kept brushing it off and saying that it "wasn't important".

five then picked up a knife and slammed it down onto the table, everybody's attention turned to him. "number five?" dad asked.

"I have a question." five spoke.

"knowledge is an admirable goal, but you know the rules. no talking during mealtimes. you are interrupting Herr Carlson."

I gave five a look of confusion, he looked back at me and shook his head "trust me..." he whispered.

"when do I never not trust you?" I said silently, making sure he was the only one who could hear me. his attention turned back to dad "I want to time travel."

"no." is all Reginald replied with. five rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"but I'm ready" he argued "i've been practicing my spatial jumps, just like you said." five then got out of his seat and blinked right next to dad, who seemed very unfazed.

"see?"

"...a spatial jump is trivial when compared with the unknowns of time travel" dad started "one is like sliding along the ice, the other is akin to descending blindly into the depths of the freezing water...and reappearing as an acorn."

fives face was full with confusion and irritation "well, I don't get it."

"hence the reason you're not ready."

five looked at me, I shook my head slowly and gestured for him to sit back down, he looked back to dad "I'm not afraid."

"fear isn't the issue." Reginald continued eating. "the effects it might have on your body, even on your mind are far too unpredictable." he finally looked over at his son "now, I forbid you to talk about this anymore."

five stayed silent, he looked over at me again and I shook my head more urgently this time, he huffed and walked out of the room, heading towards the front door.

"number five!" dad shouted. "you haven't been excused! come back here!."

I stood up out of my seat, ready to follow him but dad snapped his attention to me "number eight! take your seat." he ordered with a stern look.

I looked over at the door five ran out of before sitting back down. hopefully he'll be back soon.

Fives POV:

I ran out of the doors and gates. stupid dad, thinking he knows everything. I walked a few steps with a victorious smirk on my face.

I then spatial jumped forward in time. I didn't know what the year was but things seemed more colourful. I let out a scoff "not ready, my ass."
