I think you're extrordinary...

Chapter 6: Fighting and Fixing Faces.

My fist remained clenched as I stared and agressivly cut my food. Klaus occasionally raised his eyebrows at me and Five. As soon as we were allowed I speed walked out and back to my room. Picking up my violin, I tried to calm myself down.  My hands shook on the fret and let out a horrifying screech. Wincing, I pulled away from it. The door slammed open and splintered slightly as Luther ran in with his hands over his ears.

"Shut Up, Vanya! You can't even play the violin right. What can you do right anyway? Just do us all a favour and stop, everything." He yelled at me. I stood frozen, I was gratefull for my pills because I knew if I hadn't taken one yesterday, I could bring the house down. 

"I'm sorry Luther, I just..." I tried to make an excuse without explaining why I was angry.

"No, you don't get to call me Luther, that's what my family calls me and your only live here because we can't get rid of you yet" He stressed the yet as he walked out again. Feeling numb, I shakily put down my violin and left for training. Luther, Allison and Diego were all gathered around a tree nattering about something or other. Only when I walked past them, I heard what Luther  was saying.

"Why does dad even keep her here? She doesn't have any powers or talents. She's useless and pointless" I watched Allison and Diego as they listened to his rant. Allison was the first to notice I was standing near them. I smiled at her, I had always thought they felt this way but I'd never heard them actually say it. She opened her mouth to say something but then flashed a pitying look at me. I walked over and sat on a bench away from them, I wasn't mad. I didn't know how I was feeling. Five came and sat next to me.

"Why do you bother with me?" I whispered, watching Luther shout from across the courtyard. 

"What do you mean?"

"I'm useless. I don't have any talents and I can't even use my powers. I'm worse than ordinary." I replied without any emotion.

"I think you're extrordinary... and not because of your powers, because of you."   He said, following my gaze to the others. His face turned to stone. "What did they say?"

"They said I was useless and pointless. And asked why Hargreeves kept me. I understand why they feel this way because they don't know and even I still don't even believe I'm anything other than boring" I heard a whoosh and a whack. Luther was on the floor and Five was near him. Running over, I pulled him away. Five had punched him into the tree. Luther stood back up with Allison's help. Luther whacked him across the face to the floor.

"Five!" I yelled as I dropped next to him. Blood was pouring out of his nose. "It's okay you don't have too." He pushed him self up and silently turned to face Luther. 

"You bitch. Vanya is more powerfull than any of you put together and smarter and more compassionate than any of you will ever be. She was lied to her entire life and found at she had immense powers and dealt with it better than you did when Hargreeves shouted at you once. You cried for a week. Say anything again and I'll kill you" 

"You? You're weak" Luther laughed. Five stretched his arm to punch him in the stomach I jumped inbetween them and Five ended up punching me. I doubled over in pain as Luther and Diego laughed. 

"Vanya? Why the hell did you do this?" He crooned as he tried to comfort me. 

"I didn't want you to hurt him." Allison punched Luther in the arm and dragged him away mouthing 'Sorry' at me. Stunned, I nodded and pulled Five's arm over my shoulder and helped him into the house.

"I don't want to go to mom, we'll have to explain why." Resting on the doorframe of the emergency room, he watched me grab the emergency kit. We walked slowly to my room, we could hear Allison and Luther arguing from across the house. Sitting down on the bed, I opened the small bag. I reached for the antiseptic solution and cotton pads and dabbed it onto his cuts. He hissed and grabbed my other wrist.

"Sorry" I whispered as I leaned forward, practically sitting on his lap as I continued. He stared intently at my face as I worked. I passed him the emergency ice pack and some paracetamol. Starting to move back away from him, he kept his hold on my wrist so I stayed where I was. Smiling, I placed my hand over his to place the icepack correctly and we made eyecontact that would probably be awkard to anyone else but let's be honest, everything about us is weird. Settling into his lap, I removed the icepack to see the swelling had gone down. Carefully, I put a plaster over the cut on his nose. Our faces were inches away, I could feel his hot breath on my cheek."I'll be back in a second." 

He whimpered slightly, I raised my eyebrow comedically in suprise to which his face turned tomato red. Minutes later, I came back with another icepack and a peanut butter and marshamallow sandwich.  Pulling open the covers for him, I handed him the sandwich and icepack.

"You need to sleep and eat. In about an hour, you'll need to hold the icepack on for 15 minutes. I'll come back after lunch. Is that okay?"  

"How do you know all this?" He asked with a curious smirk,

"Mom taught me one day, when you guys were on a mission. She figured it might be usefull." I shrugged. "What do you want me to tell them about lunch?" 

"First glare at Luther, then tell them I have to rest after and incident in training" 

"Will do" I said while snuggling in beside him. 

"Vanya."

"Five"

"I like you. In a different way that I like... well I don't really like anyone else. I like you in a I want to be around you, with you or in contact with you all the time. You don't have to say anything but I just want you to know" The bell for lunch rang and interrupted my pondering. Gaping, I dashed out down the hall.

"Where is number five?"

"Due to an unfortunate incident during training, he has to rest and ice his broken nose" I glared at Luther, as he gulped and turned to Allison for support.

Five's body was still as he lay in my bed. 

"I'm sorry I didn't say before but I just wanted to tell you, I like you in that way too." Leaning down to place a sweet kiss to his cheek. His hand brushed my cheek and pulled my lips to his instead. A small chaste kiss that I would remember for the rest of my life. Pulling away, his hand was still on my cheek. Beaming, I lent back down and pressed a harder kiss to his lips. He pulled my closer to him by putting another hand on the small of my back. Lifting him up with my hands on the back of his neck, I tried to avoid knocking his nose. I rested my forehead onto his, still straddling him slightly. I began to giggle slightly, causing him to laugh too. Soon we were just sitting, our bodies shaking from the amount of laughter.

Best day of my life...
