Aww shit Five I would feel guilty if you did that, I don't need a designer suit. Just a normal suit would be great though if you really want to get me something for my birthday.
Your silence is just you admitting to it. You totally checked her out secretly. XD What does she look like?

Oh yeah of course, no need to name names......have you seen her in her spandex outfit yet?

I keep that in mind.

Whatever, I'm not going to argue it with you. I know what I did and didn't do. Describing her doesn't really do her justice. You'll just have to wait until you get to meet her to see what she looks like.

No, I don't really know if she wears uniforms when she's on missions. I assume she does, but anything's possible. The only times I've seen her powers in action is when she uses them around me.

Oh wow. "describing her doesn't do get justice?" You're totally smitten!

Can I ask what she does?

Honestly? Yeah I am.

[ He's not going to bother lying. ]

I'll have to get back to you on that. I don't want to say anything that might give too much away. She's already taking a chance on me, when I'm still growing out of this teenage body. Even though I trust you, I still feel like I need her blessing to reveal details about her.

Dude!! That's so adorable! I'm so happy for you, it's been like....a while right? Since you've felt like this about someone?

Right right, of course. Can I ask how old she is?

Yeah, it's been a few years now.

Oh boy, she's a young one in comparison to me. She just turned twenty four. Her age was one of the reasons why I didn't really think anything would come of those weird moments we kept having. I'm seriously old enough to be her father...grandfather even. But she really doesn't care about either of the ages I am caught between.

Well I'm glad it's finally happened.

Weird moments hrm? You mean moments where you caught yourself thinking about her smile? Or her eyes?
That's cool that she doesn't care about the double age gap, I guess being a superhero has the advantage of her already being used to bizarre situations like yours.

I really had forgotten what it felt like to be this into someone. My last couple of 'relationships' before reverting to my teen body were pretty toxic.

Sort of, it was more like moments where there was a pull between us. Some times it was just inexplicable. I don't know how else to describe it.

Oh god, yes. I'll tell you this much. The last guy she dated went by the name, Grunge. So she's definitely use to taking shit in stride.

Oh shit, I'm sorry to hear that Five. I know you don't like talking about that kind of stuff but I'm here if you need to.

Ooooof. Yeah, I know that feeling. It hasn't happened in years but I remember how powerful it can be.

.... Wait what?! Are you serious? She dated a guy whose name was a 90's music trend??

There's really no sense in harping on the past. I'd rather focus on my future, but thank you for the offer.

That's exactly what I was thinking when she mentioned it to me. But then he sounds like he was a douchebag loser. So I guess the name fits.

And your future sure is looking bright ;)

I just...Grunge? Jesus.
How recent of an ex is he?

That it is. I can't deny that.

I know, man. Hopefully I never have to meet him. It wouldn't end well if I did. I'm pretty sure, he's from the past year or so. She was still claiming the guy as a friend, until we got into an argument over it.

So uh...have you two talked about like...how sex is going to work?

Oh shit. She doesn't still have feelings for him does she?

Yeah, we have. It was one of the first things we discussed.

[ And well he'll leave it at that. ]

No, they've just known each other for a while. So she was trying to stay friends with him. But ultimately she made the decision that our relationship was more important to her than trying to stay friends with a guy who had no respect for her while they dated.

Uh huh. Aaaand?

Oh wow, nice! Good for her, I can understand staying friends with an ex if things ended mutually and you're both respectful to one another. But to stay friends with someone who was an asshole? Yeah, that's not good.

And what? We have an understanding.

[ He is so not going there. ]

Pretty much. I'm just glad that this won't be an obstacle between us.

Does that mean you haven't had sex yet? Come on, I'm not asking for graphic details! You're allowed to gush a little bit.

Oh absolutely. It sounds like she really likes you.

I don't want to gush about that though. Look she and I have had fun with each other, but we haven't done everything.

I don't have any doubts about her feelings toward me. This is as real as it gets.

I meant you can gush about things in general. You're talking to a horrible romantic here, you can go on about her eyes or her laugh if you want. I think that stuff is the best stuff.
I'm just curious about the sex stuff because I'm a 25 year old guy and one of my best friends is finally with someone who he wants to get touched by. You can't blame me for being excited for you and totally curious.

That's so awesome.

I get it. I know you're happy for me, buddy. But some things I'm just not ready to share. You're talking to someone who hasn't had a relationship since I was in my fifty something year old body. So this is really a new situation for me.

She's special. I've been in this weird sort of flux where I've wondered what the hell I am going to do with my life. Since I've lived an entire lifetime already. For the first time, I feel like I got a direction to go.

Edited 2021-09-22 10:28 (UTC)

All right, I'll lay off. But know that if you ever DO want to talk about things or gush about the smell of her hair, I'm totally down to hear it.

Ooooooooof. My heart! Five, you're kind of really romantic you know that?

I'll keep that in mind. Lord knows Klaus only ever wants the dirty details and I really don't like discussing that. It makes me feel like I am betraying her by sharing details of our private moments together.

Well it has been a while since I've had someone inspire me toward these kinds of feelings.

Hahah yeah Klaus seems to be the type to want graphic details. I got it now though, I won't ask about private moments.
Does this make you the only Umbrella Academy guy to have a girlfriend right now?

Which makes it even more adorable.

God, he really has no filter at times. Thanks, I appreciate it. Technically? Luther and Diego both have some complicated relationships that they are dealing with. And well Klaus is more into men than women, but he doesn't seem to be interested in more than flings right now.

Oh god, is that what it comes too? Being called adorable? I went shopping with her a few weeks ago, before we decided to become a couple. The cashier called us adorable because she thought we were siblings shopping together. Back then I just shrugged it off, even though I didn't like it. But now that things have changed, I'm not sure how I will react if we get mistaken for siblings again.

It's okay, my roommate doesn't have a filter either so I totally understand. Huhn so you're the only one in a healthy happy relationship at the moment. That's....probably going to be interesting for them to learn about.

I mean it in the BEST way.
Also please note me not asking if this was underwear shopping or not.....
I guess it's better to be mistaken for siblings rather than mother and son? That would be extra weird.....You might just have to ignore it or make a private joke about it or something. I mean unless she doesn't like going out in public....?
