chapter three ↴ nighty night honey

"we're going to give her a heart attack." Kenzie mused, sitting on the arm of the chair Five inhabited.

he shrugged. "it'll be fine, Pixie. stop worrying." he assured, looking up at me with startling green eyes. she sighed. "alright then, but if she asks me about that paper we're magic-ing the fuck outta here, 'kay?" Five nodded. "course, Pixie."

well, they did give Vanya a heart attack, and no, she didn't ask about the music assignment. she offered Five and Kenzie a place to stay, but Kenzie denied and said she had to get back home.

Vanya left the room and Kenzie turned to Five. "if you go on any weird adventures, call me so I can come and hopefully not die."

he smiled and said, "deal. goodnight, Pixie."

she grinned, "nighty night honey."

well, it turned out, Five did need Kenzie's help.

he appeared the next morning, just as Kenzie had come out of her bathroom in a nightgown that barely passed mid thigh.

"oh my fucking god!" Kenzie had screamed, and Five grew red and snapped his eyes shut. "i'm sorry! I didn't think you'd be getting dressed!" he apologised quickly, turning around.

she sighed. "dude, it's like eight. what's up?"

once she had tugged on some sweatpants and a shirt, her and five went to her kitchen where she began to make some eggs.

while Kenzie cooked, Five explained what he needed to do, that being breaking into a medical office for the second time to get files.

"you are so weird, Five." she announced, placing some scrambled eggs on toast in front of him. he looked at her blankly. "what? do you not like eggs?" Five hurriedly shook his head. "no, no, it's just that, well, it's been a long time since someone actually cooked for me." Kenzie frowned and placed a glass of apple juice in front of him. "well come on, sweetie. I gotta go find clothes that make me professional." she sounded out the word carefully, and Five smiled at her proud look. "alright, Pixie."

she went into the room, and a second later Five heard, "Five we can match!"

teleporting actually sucked. like, seriously.

Five and Kenzie landed in his bedroom at the academy, where she hurriedly went to hide behind the door.

she ignored the conversation between him and Vanya, and when she left she threw open the door and stepped forwards with a sigh, just as Klaus Hargreaves tumbled out of the wardrobe.

"what the fuck?!" Kenzie whisper-yelled, moving over to Five, him grabbing her wrist. "shut up, she'll hear you!" he hissed to the oddly dressed man.

said man rolled his eyes and stood up, eyeing Kenzie with a smirk. "and who may you be? Five's girlfriend?" "i'm Kenzie." she answered simply, looking at the man with an amused smile. Klaus smiled. "well well well. I'm Klaus, aka Number Four." He introduced.

Kenzie frowned. "are you all named after numbers or something?" Klaus smiled sarcastically. "you could say our father wasn't the best."

"what are you wearing?!" Five asked irritatedly, motioning to his outfit. "what is she wearing?" Klaus replied. "besides, this is my best outfit." Kenzie scoffed. "excuse you, I look cute thank you very much." Five sighed. "Come on, let's go raid the old man's closet."
