Would you lie here with me and just forget the world?
When they went back to their teen years, Five promised himself that they wouldn't repeat the same mistakes of last time. They will stop the apocalypse, bust most important of all, they will make Vanya feel their love, his love.
When he saw her, the teenager he remembered, the one that he dreamed about a thousand times when he was in that empty world, the one that he missed so much, the one that he left behind with his hurry to time travel, the one that he betrayal, he felt so sorry, but also a warm feel installed in his belly, he felt a little more in home, truly in home.
Fortunately, all of his siblings were asleep, or unconscious, it didn't matter, he had time to wake Vanya up and talk with her calmly. —Vanya, wake up— He said softly as he shacked her shoulder, Vanya started to move a little and then, suddenly, she opened her eyes, no shadow of that white irises that seemed very scary, just her warm chocolate eyes.
He saw the exact moment when she remembered what happened, her eyes filled up with tears and her face truly showed how sorry and horrified she was of what she had done.
—I- I- am s-so s-so-sorry— Vanya said as she burst into tears and shake violently because of it. He couldn't bare see her like that, so he embraced her in a tight hug, wishpering in her ear —hey, it's okay, it was not your fault, you can't control it, we have another chance to make things right, We won't let you alone to manage this, I won't leave you alone, I would never leave you, and if that freaking old man keeps making you feel unworthy, then we'll leave—
And he meant it, maybe they weren't adults yet, but they could manage it for a year or two, and then leave.
Vanya wasn't shaking anymore, and he could take her shoulders and look her right in the eyes, so she could see how serious he was about it —I really meant it Vanya, you taked all this shit all alone, and I won't let you take this all by yourself again. I'm not surprised that you almost destroyed the world, god knows that we deserved it, I deserved it, not only for leave you with that shitty person that we called Father, but for excluding you again, when I came back, for not catching up with you, it may have been changed everything, but now, we have another chance, I have another chance to be all I wanted to be for you—
This time, she hugged him, and he was thankful for that, because he almost told her everything he saved with jealousy in the bottom of his heart. To feel her so small in his arms make him truly happy, that she didn't rejected him. Yes he cared about the apocalypse thing, but right now, he just cared about Vanya and how he would do everything he could for her, so she wouldn't feel alone, unworthy, unwanted or useless anymore.
They heard how the other started to wake up, and they separated before anyone could see them.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, they remembered all the Apocalypse stuff, Vanya dragger herself next to Allison, and took her hand in hers and said sorry over and over, like a mantra, Allison stopped her and told her that they all were sorry, and the hugged her, Klaus managed to drag next to they and joined the hug at the same time as Luther, Ben did it after him, followed by Five and Diego, and they all were whispering how sorry they were.
Five was the first to let go, he noticed they were still in the theater and it was past midnight. All the Hargreeves stay stand behind him, expect him to say anything. —Well, we're just a few streets apart of the Academy, we should get back there before the Old man notices we're not there.— And they started to walk to the Academy, Allison still had her arm upon Vanya's shoulders, and Klaus grabbed her hand.
Five wasn't jealous of them. He just wanted to have the freedom of do that too, to be close to her. Finally they arrived to the academy. They barely managed to get in without any adult noticing. Five stopped them in the hallway —If you have any questions, let's meet tomorrow, in the hall, before practice, oh, and act surprised at breakfast, it's been almost three years since I left.—
They all just nodded in response, they were too tired, and sure as hell that he was barely stand and awake. Allison and Klaus let go Vanya, and One, Two, Three, Four and Six get into their rooms, Five, without noticing, followed Vanya to her room. Vanya let him in, and just then, she spoke —I am okay Five, you don't have to do this, I can do this— that make Five react.
He followed her to her room! What was he thinking? Well, that was the problem, he wasn't. She tried to look okay and just started to get her bed ready to sleep, just then Five looked at her, and noticed he wouldn't make it to his room without fell off.
—I know you can, Vanya, the one who can't it's me, time travel seven people for fifteen years wasn't an easy task. I'm going to fell asleep in less than a minute. —
And then, he just fells in her bed, she just giggles and climb to the other side of the bed. Only when he feels she is by his side, he settled down facing her, her eyes was still open, and he stared at her for what felt like an eternity and suddenly, she got closer to him, and buried her face in his chest, and he surrounded her with his arm, making sure that the blanket covered both of them. He knew it, he was in home. And that night they both had the best sleep they've ever had in years.
