Number 8 ~ FivexOC

6

Five wakes up to the feeling of his arms wrapped around someone, so he hugs the person closer. When he realises who his arms are around, he jolts out of bed so rapidly that he finds himself thrown onto the floor, waking up 8 by making a loud thud.

"Huh? What was that?" She sits up with her eyes half open and her hair slightly messy from sleeping.

"Nothing. Everything's fine," Not me, he thought to himself remembering last night. Eight responds with a sleepy nod and stretches her arms out to wake herself up.

"So, what's for breakfast?" She asks him as she throws her uniform from the day before back on.

"Whatever is in the kitchen," He responds with heavy sarcasm which Eight picks up easily. She smirks at him before trying to leave the room.

"Wait- uh... Would you want to come on an errand with me?" Five asks making her halt in the door frame. Did he just ask me to spend time with him?

Eights turns around and sends him a quick nod, and a smirk, before continuing her descent down the hallway. She was excited to be spending more time with him even if she doesn't show it or act like it.

"Uh, can I help you?" A man says noticing the young pair standing in the reception.

"I need to know who this belongs to," Five states as he turns to face the man, lifting the eye as he speaks. Eight was sitting on the ground but the sudden movement away from her made her stand up and hurry to Five's side.

"Where did you get that?" The man asks the boy with caution in his voice.

"What do you care?" Number Five inquires to the man, taking notice of the girl's presence next to him. The man responds to him with a look which made Five realize that he doesn't believe him.

"I... I found it... at a playground, actually. Must have just," Five makes a popping noise with his tongue. "... popped out," He finishes with a sinister smile looking at a smiling Eight beside him.

Sometimes he wondered if she was like him, as crazy as him, to put it into words.

"I wanna return it to it's rightful owner,"

"What a thoughtful young man," Eights coos at him making him roll his eyes in response.

"Yeah... look up the name for me will ya!" Five says putting his attention to the doctor.

"I'm sorry but patient records are strictly confidential," The man retorts wondering what this boy and girl might be up to.

"That means I can't tell you-" Five cuts the man off with a harsh tone.

"I know what it means," He pinches the bridge of his nose with his free hand and looking over at Eight as if asking what to do next. She shrugs not knowing what his plan was to begin with.

"You know what I can do, I can take the eye off your hands and return it to the owner. I'm sure they will be very grateful so if I can just-"

"Yeah, your not touching this eye," He pulls his arm behind himself to take the eye out of reach.

"Now you listen here young man-" The doctor begins his sentence but Five lunges towards him grabbing his collar and bringing him down to eye level.

"No! You listen to me, asshole. I've come a long way for this so just give me the information I need and I'll be on my merry way- and if you call me young man one more time, I will smash your goddamn head through that goddamn wall," He says with venom and fury flooding his voice and a devilish look in his eye.

"Call... security," The man manages to let escape his mouth to which Five loosens his grip and let's go of the doctor but not without a hard shove.

"Let's go Eight," He whispers to the girl and she follows close behind him out of the maze of a building.

"What's with the eye Five? Is it something to do with the-"

"Apocalypse? Yes. It's been the only thing on my mind since I got back here... well not the only thing..." Five said in an irritable tone but mumbling the last part so Eight couldn't hear him.

She sat down next to him on the bed and took his hands in hers and looked him in the eyes.

"It's ok Five. I know you and I know you'll fix it but you can calm down for a bit, alright?" She said trying to keep her voice calm and low to comfort him. He responded with a small but geniene smile and that told Eight all she needed to know.

They felt themselves leaning towards each other without breaking the deep eye contact. The slow speed was killing the both of them but neither wanted to rush the moment. They wanted it to last forever. Five's hand grazed her cheek as their noses lightly touched.

The door burst open to reveal a flustered Vanya and both Five and Eight jumped as far as they could away from each other with deep red and pink shades coating their now very embarrassed faces.

"Oh thank god. I was worried sick about you two," Vanya burst out with a loud, heavy sigh clearly being oblivious to the moment she had just interrupted.

"Sorry we left without saying goodbye," Eight chirped in to say something for the both of them.

"No, I'm the one that should be sorry. Yeah, I was dismissive, and..." Vanya began to explain but she ended up not knowing what to say.

"She didn't know how to 'process' what you were saying," Eight finished her sentence, leaving Vanya with a shocked look but she quickly shook it off.

"Maybe she was right to be dismissive Eight, maybe it wasn't real after all but... it felt real," Five said retreating to his dressing cabinet with a melancholy voice.

"It's been a long time since I've had a good sleep," And with that, Vanya knew it was her que to leave them.

"What do you mean? You slept literally last night," She said looking at him with a sarcastic type look in her eyes after she saw Vanya disappear into the rest of the house.

"Yeah, I know. I can hardly forget it I mean it was-" He stopped himself as he felt himself turn pink thinking of having his arms around her. She looked at him with a smirk knowing exactly where he was going with that.

"Well, you go take that nap. I'll let you sleep if you need it that bad,"

"I just said that to get her to leave. I mean I love Vanya and all but..."

"She just doesn't get it?"

"How the hell do you always manage to finish someone's sentence Eight? How?"

"Take a wild guess genius!" She said giving him a look which he understood. She can read minds. How didn't I pick that up sooner?
