A Good Night's Sleep
☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂
Escaping the mall with Dolores was one hell of an experience.
With Hazel and ChaCha, people from Five's ex employer's company, the Handler, were hot on their trail.
Both of them entered the academy completely tired and a mess. Allison and Luther were standing there.
"Five? Y/n? What the hell happened to you both?", Allison asked.
"Are you okay? Can we help?", Luther raised his hand slightly was was immediately pushed away by Five.
"There's nothing you can do. There's nothing any of you can do".

Flashback: The day Five and Y/n time traveled to the Apocalypse
"F-five... why do you... worried?", the eight year old whispered as she saw Five looking around at people.
Chaos, destruction, ruins and rumbles with small fires and smoke still there was all that could be seen for miles.
The Umbrella Academy was down to ruins too.
The whole world was gone and it was just the two of them there.
She looked around and tried to understand what happened and what was happening but her naive young brain couldn't comprehend the situation.
Five was sitting on the ground and Y/n knelt down in front of him.
"W-what h-happened, Five?", she mumbled but he didn't reply.
She was about to get up and see what is wrong but Five regained his stature a bit.
He grabbed her arms pulling her close as he realized she was all he had left.
"Don't look there, Y/n. Please. You shouldn't see it all", he whispered softly as she buried her head in chest.
It didn't matter though because this is what they were stuck with now and she was going to see it anyways but for now he didn't want her to see all of that.
"What happened... to everyone? W-where is everybody?", she asked.
"They are gone, Y/n. Everyone, everything you knew... It's gone", he said as she slightly pulled away and looked at the thirteen year old who had tears in his eyes which was a rare thing to see.
But he just saw what he could call his family, now gone... dead.
"Where is my bunny?", she asked.
"Everything... is gone. You have lost everything, Y/n", he said.
"No Five... I didn't loose everything. I have Five. Five is still here. I am not alone... I have you", she slowly spoke up the sentences making him look at her.
"You are all I have, Y/n".

Y/n was sitting beside Five in the room.
He was stitching up his gun wound while Y/n was sitting there wincing on his behalf having no idea how he had the ability to do so.
She squeezed his hand a bit as he applied a band aid on the wound.
"Five... It's a gun shot wound. We should get it checked at the hospital", Y/n said.
"It just grazed past me, Y/n. It's not much of a deal. Besides we don't have much time to waste", he said.
Y/n stood up and quickly handed him his sleeping shirt but then she took it back and unbuttoned it.
She held it over his shoulders so he could wear it. "Y/n. I am fine", he said.
"Five... Just... listen to me. Please wear it", Y/n said as he put his arms through the sleeves.
Y/n leaned in a bit and slowly buttoned up his shirt.
"You need to stop worrying so much, love", he said pulling beside him making her sit on the bed.
"H-how can I stop worrying? You got shot... like right there. W-what if it was b-bad?", she asked as he saw tears forming in her eyes.
He grabbed her hands and caressed them with his own. "Don't cry, honey. I am fine", he said.
"I can't loose you Five. I really can't imagine a world without you. You need to keep yourself safe for me. Please", Y/n said as he leaned in and pecked her forehead.
"You should know by now that your man is more than capable of taking care of himself and you even more so", he said.
"The apocalypse... it is driving you mad, isn't it?", she asked caressing his cheek.
"I feel helpless. I know the doom's day is coming but I can't do anything to stop it. And my siblings are very very useless", he said.
"Sorry... can't relate there. I am used to having a smart partner", she smiled a bit making him smile too.
"We will figure something out, Five. We really will. Even is it seems completely impossible. We figured how to be back here and that seemed impossible at one point. We survived a apocalypse. We aged back. At this point... things are not impossible. Just have hope... And I am right here by your side. I will help you in any way I can", she said as he gave her a genuine smile.
He placed his hand on her cheek and pulled her in for a kiss.
"I wouldn't have asked for anything else", he said. "Hey! That's my line!", she said.
"I am getting influenced by our ten years of marriage", he said making her giggle.
"On this positive and optimistic note... We should lay down", he said as she nodded and both of them slowly laid on the bed.
Y/n placed her head beside Five's. "You know... you are the prettiest person I have ever seen", she said.
"How many people have you seen?", he let out a slight chuckle as she raised her head a bit resting it on her hand which was resting on her elbow.
She started caressing his hair as he stared into her eyes.
"Enough to know you are the prettiest", she said making him chuckle again.
"God... I have missed you so much, Y/n", he whispered as he pulled her close put she pulled away.
"What? You always sleep hugging me", he said.
"I don't want to hurt your arm", she said as he let out a scoff pulling her close and placing her head on his chest.
"It's the other arm, princess. Don't be like this... besides I am used to sleeping like this now. I can't not have you by my side", he said.
"I love you the most, Five Hargreeves", she mumbled.
"I love you more, Mrs. Hargreeves", he said ready for an argument of Y/n shooting back ideas on how she loved him more but he heard complete silence and then soft sounds of shallow breaths.
She was fast asleep.
He sighed as he pecked her forehead. "Goodnight, Love".
☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂
"Hey... Love, wake up", Y/n heard a soft voice as she slowly opened her eyes to see Five's hand on her arm.
"Are you okay?", she asked.
"I am fine. Don't worry too much... Good morning, honey", he said pecking her forehead as a smile made it's way to her lips.
"Good morning, darling", she smiled.
"Aww... that smile just made my morning", he said.
"Just the morning?... Why not the day?", she asked as she slowly sat up.
"Because my annoyingly chaotic siblings won't let my day go by happily", he said as she pulled him in for a hug.
"I missed you, Five", she mumbled. "But I was right here", he said.
"Hmm... I still missed you", she said making him chuckle.
"You just never change do you?", he asked.
"Was I supposed to change over the course of two weeks?", she asked.
"You have a fair point there", he sighed as she placed her head on his shoulder.
"Just two weeks ago... We were laying in the bed like this. It was your day off... Only difference is... we were a bit older", she said as his fingers softly caressed her hands and her wedding ring.
"And now... we are stuck in these stupid bodies", he said.
"How dare you call my boyfriend stupid!?", she asked offended as she pulled away glaring at him.
"Boyfriend... downgraded straight from husband to boyfriend", he said.
"Well... we... I don't know... un... aged. It is only fair to start over, don't you think?", she whispered.
"I am not starting over... All those years with you... No way", he said making her chuckle.
"Such a romantic little fellow you are, darling", she said.
"If I am little... so are you... Joke's on you", Five shrugged.
"Why did you wake me up so early, Five? I was so sleepy", she yawning a bit.
"Because... we are going to be practicing stalking today, dear wife".
