Backstabber (Five Hargreeves x Reader)

I Heard a Rumor Pt.5

Song Choice: Sir Chloe - Michelle

Klaus decided to try and break the thick tension between Five and (Y/n). Which was a bad idea since they were standing on thin ice. But hey, in Klaus' mind he thought it'd be best to break the ice for them.

"Wanna know something embarrassing about Five?"

Five automatically turned his head slightly with his eyes still on the road. A sudden panic rose in him, thinking of all the things Klaus knew about him that could be considered embarrassing if (Y/n) were to know about it. But the thing that made his heart rate pick up was remembering that he told Klaus about how he felt (Y/n)... But Klaus wouldn't aim that low. Right?

"Um... I don't really care." (Y/n) voiced softly, trying to sound like she respected Five's privacy since they weren't on very good terms at the moment.

"He walks too fast." Klaus said with a click of his tongue in a matter-of-fact way.

Silence.

"No, you just don't know how to step one foot at a time." Five retorted with full offense.

Silence.

Very awkward silence.

The tension between Five and (Y/n) was so thick that Diego could cut it with a knife. Even though Five forgave (Y/n) enough to let her come with them didn't mean he wasn't still on edge about her. Diego kept his mouth shut, even if he had something to say that wasn't in any way related to the two. He thought that if he just said anything that he would trigger something between them. The best comparison to the feeling is the awkwardness you feel being stuck in a room with a friend and their ex but no one is saying anything.

Five would keep glancing up at the rear view mirror where it showed (Y/n). One reason for this because he just liked looking at her. Not in a creepy way, and not on purpose.

He honestly just couldn't help it. She was just so pretty.

Although he was torn between thinking if she was an angel sent from above where gods bathed in diamonds or a devil from the dark depths of hell where the monsters ate each other's souls. But now he's just been leaning toward the idea that she was a pure angel from the heavens but fell down into the underworld where she adapted the lifestyle and behaviors of a dark demon. But maybe she really was just a succubus. Her spell on him making her irresistible.

But it didn't matter what she was. He believed her beauty overthrew Aphrodite herself. Everytime he looks at her it feels like the first time he saw her all over again. Everytime single time he looks at her she takes his breath away again and again. His eyes would attach themselves to her noble features before quickly looking away if it looked like she was about to look his way.

The other reason he kept skimming over to her was for a more negative reason. He wanted to make sure she wasn't up to anything or being suspicious in any way. He didn't want to get tricked again like all the times before. The wound was still fresh so of course he was on edge. The girl has tried to kill him for like the past 4 days!

(Y/n) also kept her mouth shut, feeling as if she shouldn't talk at all after what she did. Only talk if spoken to. Everything she really wanted to say in the car she just kept to herself or said in her mind. In her mind she was declaiming to an unsuspecting Five all her apologies and ranting to him all her trauma and regrets.

Klaus was honestly bouncing back and forth between reality and the clouds. He would also think of multiple ways to freshly overture (Y/n) and Five. He would open his mouth, about to say something, but then would close it again once he'd realize that what he was going to say wasn't the best.
