She was not messed with in the slightest bit. Look at her in any way of confidence and she'll shoot you down. She was confident and hard to please.

This made her desirable to everyone in every way.

The way she walked, the clothes she wore, the way she talked, acted, spoke. It drove the boys crazy. And the girls.

She had been rumored to hang around a few girls, but in the end, she revealed to only be interested in men. Unfortunately. And this left the very few women she associated with lucky for no other woman could ever touch her hungrily again.

On the other hand, she has been seen kissing on a few men, but only for a few days until she dropped them out of boredom. Heartbroken that she left them being untamed. No one could tame her. Not even the mister Five Hargreeves.

The two of them always came back to each other in time of need, but neither dared become attached in fear of the other breaking their heart.

Although they were very flirtatious with each other, they never solidly claimed one another.

That was until Five did become attached.

Seeing the mere sight of her pressed against another man left him furious. So he planned to swoon her until she was his.

And he got her. But fortunately for her, he was wrapped around her finger.

She'll admit she had fallen for the boy. But out of stubbornness she wouldn't admit it.

"Hey." He said confidently as he leaned against her locker.

She smirked and grabbed the back of his head, pressing her lips roughly against his. He had been caught off guard, and before he could take it any further, she leaned away.

"Trying to swoon me, boy? How unfortunate that you're wrapped around my finger." She said as she turned around to walk away.

Five smirked and grabbed her wrist as he threw her softly against the lockers.

"Is that so?" Five chuckled and pressed his knee in between her legs.

She gasped but quickly recovered as she leaned up to kiss him, only for her to pull away, centimeters from his lips. He grumbled and tried to close the distance, but she twisted her wrists out of his hold and threw him to the ground.

She straddled him as her knees were pressed against the ground, and her hand held to his throat. She giggled softly before leaning down to have her lips inches from his ear.

"Nice try." She breathed into his ear as he felt his voice become small. He had no words to fight back with.

"You want me. But you'll have to try harder than that." She leaned away from his ear and left a soft kiss on his neck before letting go of his throat and standing up.

She smirked and turned away as he watched her walk down the halls.

He got up from the floor and rubbed the back of his neck from embarrassment.

"I'll try anything for you, y/n." He whispered.

He hated how she made him feel. He hated how amazing her soft skin felt against his on those rare nights she let him hold her. He hated how his hands fit perfectly with her hips when she'd given him the chance to kiss her. He hated the sweet taste of her tongue in his mouth when she teased him for a little while longer in those lustful moments of bliss.

But he loved her. And she knew that.

Day after day, he tried being rough, being soft, being perfectly in between. But it did not work. He kept trying. After nearly three weeks of every trick in the book, he tried the only thing he could think of. Being himself.

He stepped quickly through the crowd of students looking for that familiar figure he woke up every morning to see. He saw her kneeled down over a student who seemed to be crying. The boy stood up from the ground and easily towered over y/n with uncertainty plastered on his face. He gave her a soft smile and walked away from his corner in the halls.

"Gone soft, have we?" Five asked as he grabbed her hips gently and spun her around to look at him. She softly placed her hands on his chest and smiled.

"I may be confident and snarky, but I'm not a bully. He was crying and no one seemed to give two shits that he was upset. So I talked to him for a few minutes to calm him down." Y/n said as she grabbed at Five's hands and softly lifted them off her hips.

"So what's your strategy today, Hargreeves?" She asked as she turned and walked off to her locker.

Five ignored her question and placed his hand in hers once they had approached her locker.

"I want to be yours. And I want you to be mine. If I were to ask you to be, would you say yes?"

She smiled and pressed and soft kiss to his lips before pulling away.

"That's all you had to do, Hargreeves."

"What?" Five asked as he stepped closer to wrap his arms around her waist.

Y/n sighed and lifted her hands to cup his face.

"Out of everyone I've ever been involved with, you just had to be the one I'd fallen for. Ever since our lips touched for the first time, I knew you'd be the person I'd become soft for. And you did." Y/n said.

Five smiled and hugged her closer.

"That still doesn't answer my question." He said.

"Ask, Hargreeves. All you had to do was ask."

Y/n stood on her tippy toes and gave Five a soft kiss before pulling away from his grasp. Five groaned and watched her retrieve her things from her locker.

"So is that a yes? You'll be my girlfriend?"

Y/n smirked and turned on her heel to walk away from Five.

"Y/n! Was that a yes?"

She turned around a started to walk backward through the halls. She winked at him and turned back around so she wouldn't run into anyone.

Five chuckled and walked off to his next class.

"I'll take that as a yes."
