It became apparent to her from a very early age that she didn't belong, or at least what they made it seem like. she was after all, ordinary. the very word she so despised, the word their Father dotes on to her like it was some sort of disease; a poison dart to say the least. She doesn't know how she copes, perhaps it's the pills he had given her. they mostly made her numb, numbness wallowing her whole being rendering her unable to feel most of her emotions
It had always been like that until one thing came into detail, It was when she was with this one particular boy. She would watch him as He scribbles Math Equations into his journal, observing his lines as he pondered on to his solution, his piercing blue eyes so focused and devoted on the computations he had been at least working on for at pretty much nearly half of his life. She just couldn't help herself but stare, he was so fascinating to look at.
Soon it became a frequent thing, at lunch time when they are allowed to sit alongside each other without being so pressed and restricted by their Father, she would catch herself staring at the boy, so immersed at him that she doesn't even notice that her other siblings had caught on to the fact that she stares far too much at Five.
"Vanya are you listening?" Klaus said, confusion riddled his face looking where Vanya was staring, breaking off her short trance
"..Sorry I didn't hear" she lied apparent to her now flushed face.
"or you intentionally didn't listen because you are too busy admiring Five" he said, grin plastering his face. Absentmindedly playing with his platter. Earning the attention of their siblings as they all turned their head to her.
Oh no, her thoughts battled, and finally embarrassment and humiliation taking over her whole body, she quickly batted their eyes peeking at the blue-eyed boy through her bangs with her heartbeat beating like a drum ready to burst out.
He didn't seem affected, a book on his hand
Probably not even looking at her, disappointment hitting her core, what did she expect? Did she expect him to look at her then what, what did she want out of it.
She wanted him to notice, lately due to her awkward and odd behavior they haven't been conversing much and she's afraid they are going to drift apart if such thing persist. Five had always been her solace, her confidante. out of all her siblings Five had always been there for her, it might not be showed explicitly and publicly but he was there, no matter stupid and irrelevant her worries were. He listened all ears never quick to judge her, only her it was a privilege as He was known to insult any of their siblings except her and that enough meant a lot to Vanya. It made her feel special, in a household full of extraordinary Five's company and council combatted her father's constant poison; Five was her antidote, He made her feel special in every way.
Vanya was about to open her mouth when the bell finally rung signaling that lunch is over and that the team would have to go back to their rigorous training and Vanya would have to go away where she didn't disrupt her siblings.
She watched them one by one leaving their seats, Klaus muttering gibberish cursing under his breath as he goes dreading to train. Allison and Luther exchanging sultry smiles and Ben quickly putting away a book that he held in his hand, and Diego bursting out in a sprint both knives in his hands. Then lastly came Five, he was still sitting which Vanya found rather odd.
"You've been weird lately" he said, clearing his throat. "We'll talk about this later" he said giving her an odd expression, his ocean blue eyes piercing her brown ones, as he vanish into the blue warped portal.
She couldn't move, he noticed she cursed screaming internally andstrangely sending her heart a flutter
