Not Even Close || Number Five x Fem!Reader

Chapter 77

For that, he received a spontaneous slap from his own lover. The stinging pain on his cheek only made him feel proud. "That's more like it." He muttered, letting themselves lean against each other's foreheads lovingly as they sat in peace.

"Who planned things this way?
No offense,
But you know
I'm still looking..."

Five grinned lazily for a short minute, flailing the bottle in his hand whilst he swayed. Till he realized that Y/N was nowhere to be seen. So he unconsciously brought his lips to the microphone and asked, "Has anyone seen Y/N?"

The girl sat on the stone plant box near the altar where Sloane and Luther became one. Her mind was filled with absolutely nothing except for the fact that she almost forgot that the beautiful orange clouds above her was the Kugelblitz's doing.

She quietly drank her beer, getting comfortable in her spot as she watched the dangerous clouds affecting the ozone layer. Perhaps this is what a beautiful disaster really is. She thought.

"Y/N!"

She didn't realize she's been sitting outside for that long until she heard Five's voice drawling out her name in a slur. Y/N watched her intoxicated lover subtly stumbling his way over to her while he acted all chatty. "My Love... I've been... looking... all over for you, sweetheart." He said in between hiccups.

"I've been here the whole time, Five." She told him with a chuckle.

There was no hiding that he was wasted, but he somehow managed to put his big bottle of alcohol down without any spillage as he got himself standing between her knees. He caught her off guard when he pulled her down by her coat for a firm kiss. It was as if she didn't need to finish her beer from the alcoholic taste on his lips.

As they pulled away, the boy took her hand in his, urging her to hop off where she sat. "I believe I owe you dance, m'lady." He slurred in a strangely posh accent, lazily pulling her along a spot where no chairs were scattered out.

Y/N couldn't help but play along with her drunk partner, "Do you now?" She smiled, letting him spin her before he pulled her closer to him. "You sure you can still lead though?"

"Oh, I'm perf...ectly capable of swaying the both of us. Just... no spinning. We hate spinning right now." He replied with another hiccup, his vision slightly spinning until he met eyes with Y/N.

He took her hand and placed his other on her lower back before they gently waltzed on one spot. Their heartbeats being the metronome to their dancing.

They found themselves getting the comfort they never knew they needed. Their foreheads touched together. Closing their eyes as they cherished this very moment.

"I love you so much." Number Five murmured underneath his breath as alcohol was also affecting his way of speaking. "I hope I said it enough. I hope I showed it enough."

"You have, my Love. Don't worry." Y/N replied with the same tone as his. She placed both her hands at the back of his neck, letting him follow her lead as he snaked his own around her waist. "And I love you even more for it."

It was a moment Y/N never knew she wished for, in spite how drunk and tipsy they were. Until she heard something she never expected to hear coming from him.

"I wanna marry you."

"Wow, those drinks really got to you, huh?" She was too dumbfounded that she thought Five was only kidding. Their waltzing had gotten slower after that, but she still tried to live in the moment.

"You know what they say, drunk words are sober thoughts or... something like that."

That's when their dancing came into a halt. He looked at her with bloodshot eyes, yet he was trying his best to look sober.
