I Need You (Five Hargreeves x Reader) Number Five

Chapter 83

"Thanks, love", he mumbled. "Yes... You should be very grateful", she said yawning slightly. 

"I slept for the longest time in ages yet I am still sleepy right now. Is this normal?", Y/n asked as Five placed his head on her shoulder. 

"So am I... I guess its just the sweet feeling of relief... And don't start with "normal" for people like us", Five sighed as he looked out the car window. "True", she mumbled.

 "Besides, this actually isn't so terrible", Five said sitting back up. "See? Told you", Klaus said. 

"Come to think of it, my whole life I've been under the gun. Missions for Dad, working for the Commission, and Y/n and I... trying to survive the apocalypse. I was always looking around every corner, just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Inevitably Y/n has been going through the same thing as well...", Five rambled. 

"You are right... Honestly, it feels like a huge burden... this whole weight of the whole apocalypses and everything we had on our shoulders is finally off and we have nothing to worry about anymore", Y/n said. 

"Yeah. It's nice to just breathe", Five added. "Good for you, man. Retirement is suiting the both of you very well", Klaus said. 

"So do you still... Are you still getting that weird feeling?", Five asked Y/n softly. "Not really. It was just like a... I don't know. Whatever it was is gone. Never mind", she said. 

"If you say so. Oh! Uh... All right!", Five leaned in front getting closer to the dashboard grabbing a folded piece of paper placed on the top of it. 

"What is that?", Y/n asked as he unfolded the paper to reveal road map around the State of Pennsylvania. "So, I've circled all the roadside attractions along the way", Five said. 

"When did you even get the time to do all this?", Y/n asked. "While you were getting ready to leave", Klaus said. "Where is that Ball of Twine, you keep talking about?", Y/n asked Five. 

"Right here. I think we would be close by now... Anyways, we have the Brownsville Big Nickel-", Five started. "I'm not sure we're gonna have time...", Klaus intervened. 

"We have all the time in the world now, Klaus. What else are you going to do on a road trip? You see roadside attractions, and monuments on the way", Y/n said. 

"Exactly... Oh and honey, you love cakes and pies, so Ricky's Bakery has award-winning pies-", Five explained completely ignoring Klaus. "If you just let me explain-", Klaus was cut off. 

"Or there's this Cow Henge... That's it- Come on, don't-", Five was cut off. "Listen to me. Just shut up for two seconds, okay? Just two seconds both of you?... All right?", Klaus asked. 

"Okay, I'm all ears". Five said folding the map back as Klaus sighed. 

"You know what face you are making right now?", Y/n asked as her eyebrows furrowed. "What face? What are you talking about?", Klaus asked.
