and before you ask: Yes I write five in lowercase letters all the time, because I think it looks nice. Sorry, deal with it.

„Y/n watch out!“ five yelled, even though there absolutely was no need to yell. You literally just walked down some stairs. In his defence, you wore a floor-length dress and high heels for the first time in your life. 

As a Sparrow, you had your life dedicated to training and work. Fancy dresses never were a part of your life, waste of time. You were excited to wear it today tho. Nonetheless, it was your sister's wedding, your only sister remaining, to be noted. Sure there still was Ben, but brothers and sisters just don't feel the same. 

With your powers, you switched your age to a 30-year-old, which you figured out to be the age you are both the tallest and the strongest.  Age shifting might seem quite boring, but it give you the advantage of people underestimateing you. And you love it. 

With the power of your 30-year-old self, you could easily carry the dress downstairs, where Five was waiting for you. 

You shifted back into a Teenage age, purposely into a version of yourself, where you are a little bit shorter than him. As your physical age shifts, your mental age stays around the same, it's just a point-of-view thing. And from the teenage point of view, Five Hargreeves was the most desirable male on earth. Not that there were too many options left, to be fair. But even if there were, so you are certain, you would still feel the same way.

You two didn't have a date in particular. He basically whined about all his brothers being annoying and then sort of asked you if you would spend the time at the wedding with him, so he wouldn't have to spend it with them. 

You two walked into the scenery and watched the wedding happen. You never saw your sister that happy before and you both felt incredibly happy for her, yet also sort of sad, that your sister would most likely not get as much happy time as she deserved it. You tried to get the sad thoughts out of your head by looking away from the happy couple at the altar and looking at five instead. Surprisingly you catch him looking back at you. As he notices you caught him staring he immediately looks away, but you think he‘s… blushing? No, that could only be a teenage girl hallucination. You would love to just shift into the I-Dont-Care-Granny mode, but that would certainly irritate the wedding, which was a no-go. 

The music playing, after the ceremony, was too romantic to be true. Luther and Sloan danced closely and they were happy. You looked at five. Should you ask him to dance? Or should you wait until HE does something? No. Now or never you tell yourself, age yourself up like a year, not visible at all, but enough change in your mind to be a little bit braver than before. 

„Five?“ you put your hand on his arm and look up at him. He looks back at you.

„Yes, y/n?“

„Would you dance with me?“

Instead of giving you an answer, he smiles, his typical, kinda asymmetrical smile you can’t help but admire, and takes your hand. In a smooth movement like you only saw him in Fights before, he pulls you onto the dancefloor. Putting his hand on your waist and pulling you closer he whispers, only just loud enough for you to hear:

„You know, if it wasn't the end you the world, I’d might dare to dream about this.“

You can feel your heart stutter. It is like your breath is taken away, but it obviously isn't because you somehow manage to ask,

„About what?“

He smiles, pulling you closer if that's even possible. With both pain and an unexpected amount of softness in his voice he answered you:

„That all of this could have happened to us one day. Not the wedding specifics, I mean… like… you know. Getting together… I mean … we…“ he seemed like he lost track of what he was trying to tell you, but you knew. You knew exactly what he meant. You always did, since the day the umbrellas arrived. And almost since then, you felt the same way. 

So you ended his painfully awkward confession, by grabbing his collar and pulling him into a kiss. He didn't react at first, and you almost thought that you might have overreacted and that you might have gone too fast for him, but then you felt his hand on your back pulling you to his chest. He kissed you back and you realized at some point, that you two weren't standing on the dancefloor any more. Somehow you must have been too focused onto the kiss that you didn't even notice how five had teleported you to to the end of the room, a little more afar of the others, a little more private and a little more… just for you two.

At some point, the kiss ended. Of course, you knew you wouldn't be able to keep kissing until the end of the world (Okay, you admitted in a little sindecomment in you brain, actually it Wouldn’t be that unrealistic) but somehow you still didn't expect it that much. You look up at him and he smiles back down at you. „You know, y/n, the day we arrived here, the day you beat my ass up and scared the living shit out of me..“ 

five starts, and you lauth a little at the memory of it. You had chilled as a six year old when they arrived, and when five saved his sister from Alfonso, you realized that he was a possible goal for your coolest trick. As a kid you went up to him, but when he bent down to look at you you instantly shifted to a thirty year-old and beat him up. So simple, when it’s unexpected. 

„… Already that day you had won over my interest. And then after a while… i started looking out for you. Within a few days you had me longing for you. Even dreaming about you, i must admit…“ he scratched his neck and blushed a little, but you just smiled, took his hand back down in your own. „Well, what i‘m trying to say is.. and trust me i would not already tell you that if it wasn’t the end of the fucking universe… I love you, Y/n. I love you and if the world ends, you are the one who‘s hand i want to be holding.“ his face expressed both, love and sorrow. 

„I love you too, five. And i always will, even if everything else is gone.“

So he kissed you again, and you knew no matter what happens, you know on who‘s side you belong.
