The Sarcastic Sparrow

Ball Of Twine

You and Five was standing close to the Ball Of Twine staring directly up. You stole Fives hat a while back in the car

"Yeah, you know. I don't know why, but I thought it'd be a lot bigger" Klaus almost insults the attraction

"Seems pretty big to me" Five replies still looking up at The Ball Of Twine

"Anythings big to you" You remark snickering. Five pushes the hat more on your head so it covers your eyes.

"You're shorter then me, Sweetheart" Five whispers in your ear with a smirk. You push the hat back up and roll your eyes

"What's with the nickname?" You ask raising an eyebrow only to receive a shrug from him. He had a plastered smirk on his face

"Here's the real question. How do you know your birth mother is in Pennsylvania?" Five raises his voice a bit so Klaus could hear. Five turns to Klaus as you keep looking at the attraction. Klaus starts walking up to you both

"Well, because I was on the ass end of the two-week bender, and I can't tell you the exact date because we were boofing Xanax and the whole business, but Amy Winehouse was at the top of the charts. So that puts us somewhere, where? In the mid to late aughts? I helped myself into Dad's office, looking for the key to his safe 'cause he had Pogo lock up all his stealables. But instead, I found a treasure trove of our family history told in expired check stubs. Rachel Herschberger? I was too messed up to, uh, do anything about it, too scared to look her up. But always in the back of my mind, I wondered why she sold me off for three grand. I mean, come on, she couldn't have held out for five? Six?" Klaus explains throwing his hands in the air

"See anything about my mother?" Five questions with a soft voice looking back at The Ball Of Twine

"No. Sorry" Klaus mutters

"Doubt you looked" you also mutter under your breath to only receive a smack on the nape by Five. You hiss out rubbing the back of your neck

"Why now?" Five questions Klaus.

"Well, duh. Dad disowns us. Grace isn't Grace. Ben's...gone. You now have a future wife. Now just felt like a good a time as any to find out who I could've been if I didn't grow up in this stupid family." Klaus complains also now looking at the attraction. You roll your eyes and cross your arms as he called you Fives future wife

"Well, can you really call what we had a family?" Five asks supposedly rhetorical but Klaus can't tell the difference

"No, it's more like a—" Klaus starts

"Institute for snarky delinquents" Five finishes with a smile as they both share a laugh. You look at the ground awkwardly feeling as if you we're not suppose to be there when they are bonding
"And you know, not a good one at that" Five laughs looking and Klaus does the same as you uncross your arms and fiddle with your fingers feeling out of place

"But what is family? What is it?" Klaus asks which also gets your mind going as all your family seemed to only care about was fame and power.
"It's like some kind of giant...Ball Of Twine. That can never be untangled" Klaus describes his meaning of family

"A giant ball of obligation i've been pushing uphill my entire life" Five mutters out with a soft tone to his voice

"And the older you get, the bigger it gets, and the more you try and untangle it..." Klaus starts

"You watch it roll down the hill..." Five finishes

"What's the point!?" They both say in unison.

"Hey, i'm glad you both came along" Klaus says turning to both of you as you look at the ground
"You're a good brother...And sister-in-law" Klaus adds the last part with a smirk as Fives cheeks go red but he maintains eye contact with Klaus. As you roll your eyes still getting flustered
"All right, all right, you say nice things about me now." Klaus says hoping for a compliment from each of us

"Twat" you blurt out heading to the car and sitting in the back seat. They both start laughing at your reply and you cross your arms in the car

"Uh, let's go find your stupid mother" Five says tapping Klaus's shoulder as he walks to the car. Sitting beside you in the back scooting close to you and placing a hand on your thigh as you lean your head on his shoulder

"Love you too, tiny dancers!" Klaus excitedly replies. Weirdly running to the car. Klaus starts the car and you let out a yawn. Five turns to you in awe and you look up at him

"What?" You question with a sleepy voice

"God, you're adorable" He blurts out. He turns red as soon as he says that and so do you.

"Like I said, future wife" Klaus sings the last part

"You can go sleep if you want." Five whispers to you as he caresses your thigh. You hum in response as your eyelids get heavier. You eventually fall asleep. Five leans his head on yours and also falls asleep. Klaus continues to drive but looks back seeing the pair of you sleeping on each other. He looks at you in awe before turning back to the road smiling to himself

Two Parts in one night! Who knows? Maybe it could be more. If I can be asked 🤷‍♀️
