five and me ↴ the umbrella academy

chapter nine ↴ you don't know what a meme is and that needs to change

"so where are we going again?" Kenzie questioned. "and can someone please explain the whole 'Honey boo boo over there was a hit man' situation please?"

Kenzie sat in the backseat of a car, leaning forwards, with Five in the front.

he looked at her with utmost affection. "it's a long story, Pixie." "honey I have time." she replied sassily, "besides, I need a new outfit. like seriously, if someone told me we were going somewhere I would've dressed nicer."

"you already look perfect, Pixie." Five replied simply, Diego coughing, "whipped.", as loud as possible. "watch it knife boy." Kenzie glared, sitting back. "or what?" Diego replied, unfazed. "or i'll grab my louie vuitton's and show you just how sharp heels can be." Kenzie sneered, flipping him off and unlocking her phone. "anyway, ignoring that dumbass, I've just realised you don't know what a meme is and that needs to change."

"— like a cop losing his gun. if the commission finds out, they'll be in deep shit. not to mention the fact they'll be stuck here 'till they get it back."

"who's in deep shit?" Kenzie asked as she took out her earphones, concerned that it was her; she was not dealing with that. "Hazel and Cha-Cha." Five answered, placing his hand over hers which rested on the middle glove compartment.

it seemed natural for them, just to at least be touching somehow, Luther thought, watching as Kenzie linked their hands.

"well I should hold onto it." Luther said. "in case they try make a move on you."

"okay but, be careful. i've lived a long life, but you got your whole life ahead of you. don't waste it."

Kenzie swallowed. "that was some deep shit." she whispered under her breath, resting her head against the seat.

Five looked forwards and sighed, looking out into the distance while Luther turned his head slightly.

a car rose over the hills, capturing everyone's attention. "here we go." Five murmured, opening his door.

Kenzie clambered out of the back seat, and linked her hand with Five's again.

"if this all goes sideways," Five began, "tell Delores I'm sorry." "i'll do it." Kenzie offered, struggling to remove her hoodie. "she's my fav bitch guys."

Five squeezed her hand before releasing it and walking forwards to meet Hazel and Cha-Cha, who wore masks.

"masks really necessary?" Five questioned. "like damn, I was thinking the same thing." Kenzie piped up from the back."

"I see you little girlfriend still hasn't fixed her attitude." Hazel muttered.

"I see you still haven't fixed your teeth."

Hazel and Cha-Cha ripped the masks off and threw them on the ground. "so where is it Kid?" Cha-Cha asked, almost exasperatedly.

"so that's how you're gonna play it. you know, we can get back in our car and call it a day." Five taunted. "let's." Kenzie added with an eye roll.

"you won't make it half way there." Cha-Cha warned, pulling out a gun.

Kenzie swallowed. she really wasn't in the mood to be shot at.

"maybe." Five agreed. "but as I'm sure you've found out in your previous foray, my brother is not your average giant."

Kenzie's face felt hot. was Five threatening people supposed to be this hot? or was it just her? yeah, probably just Kenzie.

Hazel stepped forwards. "he's right. you dropped a chandelier on him, got right back up."

Five continued on with a small hint of amusement in his tone, "by the time you took him out, he'd smash you precious briefcase to a pulp."

"probably us to right?" Hazel asked, "so how do we help each other?"

"I need you too—"

"my neck, my back—" "fuck, I've seriously gotta change my ringtone. keep going with the threatening sweetheart, it looks good on you." Kenzie teased, stepping back a few paces in an attempt of privacy.

"Hello?"

"Kenzie! mia cara nipotina, sono io, tua nana!"

"oh fucking hell." Kenzie removed the phone from her ear and mentally prepared herself for her grand mother's attempts to get her to move it Italy with her and Kenzie's Nono.

as she and her grandmother had a mini argument over the phone, time suddenly stilled.

Kenzie stopped, eyebrows slightly drawn and pink lips parted.

Five watched her mournfully, and looked to the Handler. "you got a pen and paper?"

she nodded, and gave the supplies to Five.

Pixie,

I promise, Pixie, I'll come back to you. Don't cry, I'll be fine.

Since the first time I met you, my days have become a little better and eyes a little brighter. You're a fighter, Pixie, you'll be okay.

I've been meaning to say this for a while now, but I haven't worked up the guts to do it, but this might be my only shot left.

Will you be my girlfriend, Pixie?

Please say yes, it'll make me infinitely happy.

I'll see you when I get back,

Five xx

And time restarted again, leaving Kenzie with a note that broke her heart.
