Five Seconds to Doom (Number Five X Reader)

9 - Pompeii

Five was training you with the basics.

But it was unarmed combat.

"Strike harder, Y/N. The perpetrator could easily grab your leg. Again."

You regained your balance, stood up and kicked his arm harder that it made him move an inch.

"That's better." Five said.

"Did your dad train you like this?" You asked, placing down your leg.

"No. He wants us to use our powers on fighting."

"Then where did you learn all of these?"

"Well, after we were sent to bed.. I would sneak out of the room and train on the roof." Five replied. "I always had that feeling that I shouldn't just rely on my power and that time is now. I'm powerless and ordinary. Like you." Five added.

"That's insane." You said.

Five chuckled and smirked, "Everything about our family is insane, Y/N. And you haven't heard the rest of it."

"Still no luck with time travelling?" You asked.

"Well, no. Don't worry, I'll always try."

Four years have passed and both you and Five is still stuck in the future. Every hour of every day, Five tried to time travel back to the present.

You have slowly accepted what happened but sometimes you get homesick.

Though Five really helped you to get through most of the times. Some days were bad, some days were painful, some days were okay, and some days were normal.

It was hard especially without electricity and water. You had to search for stores and scavenge

You also had to get through puberty. Prolly the most intriguing phase of a teenager and the periods? You're not gonna want to hear it.

You had to search for bigger clothes than usual coz your proportions are changing too. You stopped wearing skirts. You changed into jeans and most of the time pair it with a tank top.

When you got the whole mall to yourselves you would definitely have a walk-in closet.

Five's voice was deeper than usual. He also had some drastic changes with his body. He got taller than you. He would wear jeans, a shirt to match, and his favorite leather jacket.

You pointed your knife at your target. Slowly breathing in and out. The moment you exhaled you threw it.

"You have precision but no accuracy." Five said. Looking at the cardboard. He pulled the knife out and gave it back to you once more.

"Remember to practice your breathing."

"Happy Birthday by the way. You might be 17 now but in the real timeline we're 34." Five added while he smirked.

"Oh, yeah." You said, realizing what Five just said. You placed back the knife Five handed you and washed your hands.

You were now camping at a mall. Though you had no idea where on America you were. None of that matters now.

"I have a gift for you."

You raised your eyebrows and smiled, "Funny they said chivalry is dead. Right, Delores?"

Five chuckled. "Don't get Delores into this."

Five looked back at the mannequin and smiled while you winked at the mannequin.

At first, you thought that talking to a mannequin is just plain crazy. But Delores seemed like a brand new perspective. Though it was weird at first. You also started talking to it. Like there was this voice at the back of your mind that feels like it's from Delores.

--

"Happy birthday Y/N. Even though the future looks like shit, I know you'll have a great future when we get back."

You smiled, hugging the gift he gave you.

"It reminds me.. why were standing outside of the Umbrella Academy?"

You widened your eyes and averted your gaze. "What???? I just happened to pass by! It's not like I was looking for you.."

Obvious. Too obvious, Y/N.

Five chuckled and smiled.

"You don't have to hide it. It's enevitable."

You looked at him again and rolled your eyes.

--

"Good night.." You said as you stood up and grabbed the blanket beside you.

"Good night Y/N. I'll see you tomorrow again."

"Are you not going to sleep already?" You asked. Covering yourself with the blanket.

Five shook his head slowly and smiled at you. You sighed and nodded in response, "Well, I'm gonna go ahead then."

You walked towards the department store where you sleep together with Delores.

As you looked over Five's "bed", you decided to make it so that Five could just go and sleep on it.

You went back to your matress and said, "You know what Delores? I might really like him for real."

You looked at the mannequin.

"Oh you think he likes me too?? Nah, he has this girl called Vanya.. probably the reason he wants to go back. But anyways, you get the point. Good night, Delores." You replied to some sort of voice inside your mind.

You lied down covered yourself with a blanket and slowly you fell asleep.
