Chapter 2.
Five woke up before Vanya, his face was buried deep in her neck, smelling her hair, and felt Vanya still pressed on his chest.
The warm of her body was like a lullaby that invited him to rest. He let himself enjoy that moment, and then as Vanya woke up, he hugged her tighten even more. She hugged him back, feeling relieved after all those years of loneliness.
She whispered -Good morning, Five- He separated from her just enough to see her face -Good morning, Vanya-
He looked at the clock in her night table- it was almost time for the bell to ring. -It's almost time for us to get ready for breakfast, we should think how this is going to work, even if I don't want that the Old Man notice that I'm back, we don't have a choice, it's easier for both of us that I make an entrance, and then, figure out how and when are we going to train you to use your powers. But we are going to need someone's help.-
As Five thinks who could help them- Vanya spoke -What if we tell Mom?, about everything, the end of the world and that I caused it, she would help us- then she lowered her eyes and said -after you left, we got a little closer, and judging for what you said last night and by the things in my desk, it's been almost three years, I know she would help us- and the sound of sadness in her voice, caused his heart to hurt a lot, she will be the death to him. -Well, if you say so, I'll trust you, and probably would be a better idea if Diego goes with you when you tell her, I will be there too, of course, but I think it would help, one way or another.
Five squeezed her a little, just to confort her, and Vanya felt secure in his arms.
-Five- said Vanya as she looked his face. When their eyes met, Vanya felt something heavy in her chest, not in a bad way, actually, it was nice, and she forgot whatever she was going to say, and then a realization hit her, all that she was, all that she ever was, was reflected there, in his eyes and she couldn't stop looking at him.
For the first time in her life, she truly felt special, she had to be special if Five looked at her like that. It was so intense and yet, they couldn't look away. Five gently caressed her cheek as she, unconscious, caressed the bare skin by his shirt almost touching his neck.
She saw how Five swallowed hard as she touched his collarbone and felt her blood rush to her cheeks. They were so intimated that Vanya felt as if suddenly the temperature elevated several degrees.
Damn teenage body, cursed Five in his mind, he needed to get out of that bed, before things got awkward, so he was the first to look away, actually, down to her lips, but, instead of yield on to what he really wanted, he kissed her forehead.
-It's time to get up, I should go to my room before someone discover us, I wouldn't mind, but the Old Man won't be happy and will punish us-
Vanya nodded in response, she didn't wanted him to leave, so, when he was getting up, she got up to place a kiss on his cheek, but in that precise moment, Five turned to see her, and her lips made contact not with his cheek, but his lips.
It wasn't a heated kiss, was merely a touch of skin since both of them were so surprised to even make a move. Five's mind went blank, but his body didn't, passed initial surprise, he took her face in his hands, kissing her back, not daring to break their connection. Vanya grabbed his shirt and let out an almost unheard moan, but of couse Five hear it, he opened his eyes and break the kiss. If he didn't stop now, he couldn't do it until it were too late.
Yes, he was in his fifties and she in her thirties, but phisically they were almost sixteen, so it was obvious that hormones will do their tricks, but no, he had to resist, she deserved better, and, hell if he would do whatever he could to give it to her.
-Well, this surely is a change- they hear a voice an turned to the door, there was Ben, with the door opened just a little and his face inside the room. -and surely that I knocked, you just were too 'distracted'-
Five got up from bed and placed himself between the bed and the door. -What is it, Ben? Speak-
Ben get in the room -Well, I just wanted you to know what day is it, well, tomorrow is our birthday, our sixteen birthday.- and he looked down to the floor. Vanya let out a gasp, it didn't make any sense for him, but she get up from bed and run to hug Ben.
Five noticed that Ben was almost crying, and he remembered, Vanya said in her book that Ben died a few days after their sixteen Birthday.
He placed a hand on Ben's shoulder and said softly -We won't let you die this time, Ben- Vanya move her head up and down as a confirmation of Five's words.
Ben let go Vanya and said -If he doesn't kill me, it will do. Our Father put something in me, so, if I loss control over this- he signaled his chest- it will stop me. Certainly almost what He did with you Vanya, with the pills. But this is going to kill me, the only way that I don't die, is if that it's taken away from me.-
Five smiled with resolution, he knew exactly what to do.
Hello there, I'm really thankful for all of you who read this and follow the story. I just needed to let this out of my system.
This ff is inspired in some ways by the song Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol.
Please be gentle with me, it's my first ff in English, and if I get something spelled wrong feel free to tell me and leave reviews.
And another thing, I have just watched the tv series, so, I don't really know how or when Ben died, so I took some liberty in that way
