Timeless

(In)Visible Hangouts

As Five laid in silence with you it was like the whole atmosphere of his room had changed. The room he lived in felt dull and gray, but with you by his side, there was a brightness and warmth to it that wasn't there before. He had enjoyed all the time that he had spent with you at Griddy's over the past two months but there was something different about having you spend time with him in his home. It was like a heaviness he didn't even realize was there was gone. He enjoyed this unburned feeling but more so he enjoyed the fact that you were the one who brought it. Five wasn't used to having a friend, and he especially wasn't used to having a friend as close as you but each moment spent with you he became more and more accustomed to it. The peaceful silence was cut short by the sound of a bell ringing and a woman's voice calling,

"Children, your father wants to see you!"

"I guess that's my cue to leave." You stated as you sat up

As you got up from his bed you took your hand back from Five. He didn't understand why but when you took your hand away something about it felt wrong. It felt like the time Diego accidentally stabbed him in the back during a practice session, but somehow worse. Getting off his bed he walked over next to you and grabbed your hand once more. Looking back at him you could see the sad look on his face as he asked,

"Do you have to go?"

"Yes, but it's not the end of the world though, you'll see me tomorrow."

You didn't want to leave him but he had to go and you also didn't want to risk the two of you getting caught. Five didn't say anything to you but you could tell that he wasn't satisfied with the response. Seeing as he was still upset that you had to go you wrapped your arms around him.

Five slowly wraps his arms around you. He liked your hugs. He had never been held like this before and they made him feel nice. Taking a deep breath he started to relax and held you a little tighter in the process. He still didn't want you to go. 

After a minute or so you pulled away from the hug and gave your friend a nice smile. Crossing his room you made your way towards the window you had entered and now unafraid to show your powers you phased yourself through the wall and walked onto the fire escape so there was no need to open the window. You looked back through the window and gave Five a wave goodbye before turning invisible and sneaking back home.

Five gave you a small wave and watched as you had disappeared before his eyes. He waited in the silence of his room for a few moments hoping you would perhaps return, but when he realized you were gone for the day, he threw his hands in his pockets and made his way down to whatever his father wanted him for. As he walked to what he knew would be another terrible gathering with his problematic family he realized that things didn't feel warm and bright because he was with you but rather because of you. He knew he needed to see you again and sooner than a day from now. It was not the best of plans but he had done it before so it seemed okay in his mind and once he got back from this meeting he would put it into action.

As for you, you had finally arrived back home. You didn't want to go back because you were having such a good time with Five, but you knew you had to. Getting caught was not an option for either of you. You were already breaking your family rule of not going over to the Hargreeves' house and if you were caught you would be in a hell of a lot of trouble. And as for Five, there was no knowing what kind of punishment he would face for having you over since you were an outsider. You hated the fact that your two had to keep this secret. You hated that because of how your families were, you couldn't see each other openly. It was like a bad rendition of Romeo and Juliet. Well without the romance and death. 

You continued thinking to yourself about how you hated the situation you had going on and how you wanted to be back with Five throughout dinner with your family. You had put on a nice face to avoid questioning from your parents as you already had to lie about your whereabouts so you could be with Five, but didn't want to have to concoct more of a story because you worried at some point you could slip up. After finishing dinner you told your parents goodnight, and went up to be in your room. Sitting at your desk, you looked out your window and across the street towards Five's room but he was nowhere to be seen. You thought that he would be back from his family meeting by now. As you continued to look for him you heard a voice behind you say,
