The Umbrella Academy Imagines & Scenarios

Meeting Grace (Diego Hargreeves x Reader)

"Yeah, I know she's a robot but I'm still nervous, Klaus." You mumble, looking at yourself in the bathroom mirror. Diego insisted on stalling Mom while you got ready in his room, Klaus decided to join.

Looking up at you from his cross-legged position on Diego's bed, Klaus shakes his head, "There's no way she'll dislike you, relax your shoulders, loosen up!"

Rolling your shoulders, you turn to the side and look at your outfit. "It's more about Diego." You state honestly, "This is really important for him. I don't want to ruin it."

Klaus' eyes widen, "You know how many things I've ruined for this family?"

"Oh god, Klaus." You laugh, shaking your head.

He continues, "And I'm still here somehow. Diego still drives me places! Shit happens, the universe moves on." Klaus responds, achieving his goal in making you laugh. Gently pushing you towards the door, you can hear Diego's heavy footsteps make their way towards you.

When Diego sees you, he pauses as a smile grows on his features. "Y-You look be-beautiful." He smiles sheepishly, wishing he could get past this whole nervous stuttering.

"Thank you." You smile bashfully, letting him take your hand in his. Rubbing your thumb on the outside of his hand, Diego feels his nerves begin to fade and he takes a calm breath.

"Mom?" He calls out into the living area.

Her voice comes from upstairs, where the paintings are. "Diego. I'll be done in a minute."

"God, I'm nervous." Diego turns to you, breathing in shakily.

Holding his hand tighter, you just smile up at him and admire how adorable he is. "Everything's going to be alright, Diego. Trust me. This is going to go well, I know it."

He nods, pressing a kiss to your forehead before he turns around just as his mom walks down the stairs. Grace looks at you, eyes seeming to scan you. She smiles widely, "Diego, who is this?"

Diego's shoulders are tense as he gestures towards you, "Mom, t-this is my wife -uh, girlfriend! Sorry, this is my girlfriend!"

Bursting out laughing with a smile on your face, you see Diego turn red. You shake your head before turning to Grace, you hold your hand out, "Hi, I'm Y/N."

Grace shakes your hand, smiling at you and Diego. "Hopefully a future wife." She adds, lightening Diego's mood immensely. Grace has always had a way of doing that for him, all through his childhood. When he couldn't count on 'Dad', Mom was always there.

Diego just chuckles quietly, finally letting a breath out, "Uh, how about we have lunch now?"

"That sounds lovely, Diego." Grace smiles, reaching her hand out for you to hold as she leads you into the dining area.

Five chuckles from his silent position on the couch. "Wife, huh?" He mocks his brother, who flinches slightly. It seems everyone was wrapped up in their own little world to notice the sneaky boy slipping into the room.

"Shut up." Is all Diego replies with before following you and Mom. Five is left to shake his head, a smile on his lips as if he knows something no one else does.
