CHAPTER 4: Extra Ordinary p.1
The sounds of rustling and items hitting metal filled the air.
You sat on the floor of the fire escape stairs, swinging your legs back and forth while watching Klaus dig through the dumpster.
Klaus grunted in frustration. "Damn it, where's Dad's stuff?"
You shook your head.
"This wouldn't be happening if you hadn't stolen anything, so keep looking, Klaus."
Klaus grumbled, knowing you were right.
Ben spoke up. "Can we go see a movie or something? Or the ocean?"
"Shut up!" Klaus shouted.
"Excuse me, fuckface?" You glared at Klaus.
Klaus paused and looked at you, nervously chuckling, "not you," he stated, "I was talking to Ben."
You crossed your arms.
"M-hm."
He turned back to what he was doing, growing more irritated by the second.
"I'm trying to find whatever...
priceless crap was in that priceless box
so that Pogo will get off my ass!"
The sounds of someone climbing down the ladders caught your attention.
"Oh, hey, Five." You waved to him.
He looked over at you, "Hi Y/n."
"I'd ask what you're up to, Klaus,
but then it occurred to me...
I don't care."
You snorted, causing Klaus to roll his eyes with a soft smile.
"Hey!" Klaus laughed.
"You know there are easier ways
out of the house, buddy?"
"This one involved the least amount of talking. Or so I thought." Five dead-panned.
"Hey, hey, hey, so..." Klaus fixed his posture, straightening his back as he stood up.
"You need any more company today? I could, uh... clear my schedule." He waved his flask as he talked.
Five stopped and glanced at Klaus before continuing to climb down, "Looks like you've got your hands full."
"Oh, this? No, no. I can do this whenever." He threw the flask.
"No you can't." Y/n stated.
Klaus quietly hissed at her, "be quiet!"
He moved around, creating unnecessary noise. "I'm just..." He stuttered.
"I just misplaced something. That's all."
He bent down to look for something.
"Oh!"
He jolted back up, a bagel in hand.
"Found it! Thank God!" He sighed in what seemed to be relief.
You winced slightly, knowing what he was planning to do next.
"Klaus I swear-"
You watched him stuff the bagel in his mouth.
"Mm! Delicious." Klaus weakly muttered.
You gagged, turning away.
"Ugh, I think I'm gonna be sick."
"I'm done funding your drug habit." Five declared.
"Come on! You don't... Maybe I just wanna hang out
with my brother."
Klaus paused before looking at Ben, "Not you."
"¡Mi hermano!" Klaus shouted.
"I love you! Even if you can't love yourself!"
You watched as Five stole a random van and drove away.
"Did he just-"
Klaus looked over at you.
"Yup. Yes, he did."
You grinned. You had just watched Five steal a car.
"Ha! Never expected that from him."
Suddenly, Klaus slipped, falling backward into the dumpster, causing random things to fly everywhere.
"Oh, shit!"
You burst out laughing, "Klaus! are you okay?"
He groaned, "Oh, yeah, laugh at my misery, will ya?" he sarcastically said before letting out some giggles himself.
Luther suddenly popped his head out of Fives window, "uh, hey guys? I need both of you inside for a family meeting."
You glanced at him, let out an exasperated sigh, and scowled.
"Oh, how fun."
"Yeah we'll be right there or whatever," Klaus said.
"Any idea where Five is? I've looked for him all over the place."
Klaus looked at you in thought, and you shook your head.
"I might have an idea."
Klaus said.
Y/n mentally face palmed. Five had important things to do, and heading out to find him would only slow him down.
"Damnit, Klaus."
Klaus shrugged his shoulders.
-TIME SKIP-
Luther walked up to the van, knocking on the window a few times. "Five!"
You grabbed Klaus's sleeve and dragged him to the back of the car, silently opening the trunk and hopping in. As soon as Klaus steps in you shut the door behind him.
You turned around just in time to see Luther struggling to get in the van.
You quietly snickered.
"What are you..." Five began, muttering profanities under his breath.
"Oh, my God..." Luther had finally managed to squeeze in, turning to Five, out of breath.
"You okay?"
Five furrowed his eyebrows. "You shouldn't be...How did you find me?"
"Um..." Luther turned around, staring at you and Klaus.
Klaus was dancing with a random mannequin, and you were sitting on the floor with your knees to your chest. You noticed Five staring at you in betrayal.
You shook your head and pointed to Klaus.
Five understood what you meant, and turned to Klaus with a glare.
He had ratted him out to Luther.
"Hey, baby... Hey, a little privacy, guys.
We're really hitting it off back here."
Klaus said, holding the plastic doll in his arms.
Five picked something up and threw it at Klaus, causing him to yelp.
"Get out! You can't be here! I'm in the middle of something."
"Any luck finding your one-eyed man?" Klaus asked.
Five shook his head.
"What's he talkin' about?"
"Does it matter? It's Klaus."
Five sighed.
"What do you want, Luther?"
"Um... So, Grace may have had something to do
with Dad's death. So I need you to come back to the academy,
all right? It's important." Luther explained.
"It's important. You have no concept of what's important."
Klaus suddenly popped his head in between the two.
"Hey! Did I ever tell you guys about the time
I waxed my ass with chocolate pudding?"
Klaus laughed and you winced, disgusted.
"It was so painful."
"What are you still doing here?"
"What? I... What? I need an excuse to hang out
with my family?"
"We're trying to have a serious conversation."
"What, and I'm incapable of being serious?
Is that what you're saying?"
"Luther's got a point, you should get out."
"What?" Klaus sounded a bit hurt, but it seemed you were the only one who noticed.
"Fine!"
Klaus rushed out the van, and you stood up to follow.
"Y/n you can stay if you wa-"
"No."
Y/n glared at them.
You turned around, whispering under your breath, "assholes."
Klaus was walking off, clearly upset.
"Klaus!" you shouted after him.
He turned around, eyes landing on you.
"Wait up, idiot!"
A small smile spread across his face. At least someone wanted him around.
You reached him, tugging on his sleeve, leading him towards the small store. You knew exactly what to do to cheer him up, even if it was... illegal.
"Wanna go steal shit?"
Klaus looked at you in surprise before laughing.
"Uh, hell yes!"
You smirked before stepping into the shop.
You made sure the owner wasn't watching before signaling to Klaus.
You grabbed a few candy bars and stuffed them in your pockets. You looked for your favorite chips and grabbed them when you saw them.
Suddenly, you heard the owner shout at Klaus.
"Hey! put that back, young man!"
You stared wide-eyed, before giggling, "Run! We've been spotted!" You dramatically shouted.
You opened the door for Klaus who was carrying a shit ton of junk food in his arms.
You ran and laughed while watching him drop random shit on the floor.
Klaus let out a joyful shout, "Whoo!"
"Stop!" The man shouted after the two of you, hot on your heels.
"Keep running, Klaus!"
You laughed, adrenaline rushing through your veins.
"Hey! Stop right now!"
"Hey, bitches!" Klaus yelled.
A car suddenly stopped before Klaus, almost running him over.
"Out of the way, asshole!"
"Get outta the way, you prick!"
You both ran, laughing your lungs out.
"Now I'm starting to wonder
if that was the wisest decision." Five said as he watched the two of you.
