☼ Time

Wednesday. 8:15 am (...again)

A family meeting, minus Vanya and Y/n who decided to head home for a little bit.

"Hold the phone. We all died fighting this thing the first time around. Remember?" Klaus pointed out to Luther who was trying to be the inspiring leader he could be,

"Klaus, shockingly, has a point. What gives us a win this time?" Diego added from the bar with his knife. Just then, electricity crackles as the whole house shakes, blue lightning spat out a Five covering a briefcase.

"Je-- Jesus!" Allison backed up,

"You guys, am I still high, or do you see him, too?" Klaus jumped out of his seat,

"Five, where have you been?" Luther asked as Five fell off the table, though Luther and Allison caught him, he just grabbed Allison's coffee and walked off with a limp. He sighed, "So, the apocalypse is in three days. The only chance we have to save our world is, well, us."

"The Umbrella Academy." Luther said,

"Yeah, but with me, obviously. So if y'all don't get your sideshow acts together and get over yourselves, we're screwed." He paused, taking a breath, "Who cares if Dad messed us up? Are we gonna let that define us? No. And to give us a fighting chance to see next week, I've come back with a lead. I know who's responsible for the apocalypse." The front door closed and the creaking was heard by the siblings,

"Hi, bad time?" Y/n walked into view, she looked at everyone who had a shocked face caused by Five, "You're back."

"Yeah." Five smiled at her, "Anyway, I know who's responsible for the apocalypse." Five pulled out a piece of paper which Y/n snatched out of his hand and opened it next to Klaus, Allison, and Luther, "This is who we have to stop."

"Harold Jenkins?"

"Who the hell is Harold Jenkins?" Diego called out over Five slurping his coffee again, 

"I don't know... yet. But I do know that he's responsible for the apocalypse. So we have to find him. And we have to do it now."

"Wait, wait, how is he connected to what's gonna happen?" Luther asked,

"I don't know." Five shrugged,

"Wait, so you just know his name? That's it?" Diego walked into front,

"That's enough."

Five finally finished filling everyone in and convincing them to be in this fight. Diego was getting a file, Five and Y/n were leaning against a wall, "I need to talk to you after this." Five started, his arms crossed looking like the bad ass he is, Y/n looked over at him,

"About?" Five paused, hesitated, stuttered, all that, he wasn't comfortable about this topic at all,

"Emotions. Feelings."

"Elaborate." Y/n blushed, covering it with a chuckle,

"You know what I mean." Five hid his blush with a scoff, silly how he's thinking about that now, Y/n thought. 

Diego's file discovered that Harold Jenkins was Leonard Peabody, Vanya's boyfriend. They drove to his house, locked. Allison walked to the back, Five grabbed Y/n's hand and "blinked," as he likes to call it, leaving Diego to jump through the window, "You know, the door was unlocked." Five pointed out, causing Y/n to chuckle and Allison to smile at Diego's ignorance. Allison discovered a "hate shrine" for the whole academy with faces burnt off of their action figures and posters where their eyes were scratched off in Harold's attic. Five was fidgeting with his side, Y/n noticed too late when he just collapsed on the floor, Y/n caught him though, before he hit his head on the floor, 

"Five. Five!"

"Why didn't you say anything?" Diego asked when they found the source of his bleeding,

"You have to keep going, so close..." Five's last words before he went unconsious, 

"We need to get out of here. Now." Y/n demanded,

"Let's go." Both Allison and Diego said in sync.

Grace sat on Five's bed as she bandaged him up, Y/n was leaning on the doorway, not wanting to interrupt, Grace knew better, "Y/n, dear, come in." She smiled that welcoming, motherly smile,

"Is he okay?" Y/n sat on the bed, looking at Five's sleeping face,

"Yes, I convinced him to rest." Grace replied, 

"Probably wasn't easy, was it?" Y/n chuckled,

"Not at all." Grace giggled,however they were interrupted by Five's groans,

"Y/n?" Five mumbled,

"Hey, maybe you should continue sleeping, you actually looked peaceful." Y/n suggested causing Five to smile, Grace nodded and left the room, closing the door behind her.

"What happened while I was out?"

"Nothing much, we just went straight here and got you all patched up." Five actually opened his eyes and looked around the room, "Delores is right there, want me to get her?"

"Nah, I'd prefer talking to you." Five diverted his eyes to make direct contact with hers,

"Well that's new." Y/n smiled, "You said you wanted to talk about something?"

"Yeah. Look, I'm not confident with this whole 'plan to stop the apocalypse' thing. I felt like I needed to say something before we run out of time, plus I'm an ass almost always so I just wanted to prove that I'm sometimes not." Y/n smirked which caused Five to roll his eyes, "I--" Five hesistated, "I find you... highly admirable. So admirable, in fact, that I would protect you with my life."

"Really?" Y/n chuckled, "Once again, elaborate."

"Ugh-- Y/n, I have-- feelings for you." Five blushed, Y/n ran her fingers through his hair and kissed his forehead,

"Well, Five, I too, find you highly admirable." Five managed to pull Y/n into a kiss, their first kiss after all they've been through. Five scooted over in his bed to make room for Y/n, who laid down next to him, still playing with his hair and putting her head in the crook of his neck. "And, just like you, I would protect you with my life. We're gonna get through this together, trust me on that. We'll have all the time in the world to actually live a life."
