I Need You (Five Hargreeves x Reader) Number Five

Chapter 93

"It was supposed to be... And face it if not you...then Five...apocalypse problems are the only things that get your heart pumping", Lila said as Y/n noticed Five constantly scratching the back of his neck and then his collar bone. 

"I don't know why people keep saying that. I don't actually like chaos. "I don't want disorder. I... I want retirement... I want a life with my family... This one", he pointed at Y/n. 

"Yeah, right. What? A normal life of groceries and taxes? And then diapers and bottles? You would die of boredom", Lila said as they walked further towards door which Five opened. 

"Yeah, well, you're not exactly cut out for domestic bliss either", he said walking in and the girls following. 

"Course I'm bloody not... Thank God! Besides... I am sure Y/n wasn't either. You can learn that... And you little shit! You are annoying me by the way you are talking. I mean, maybe it's a tone thing? I don't know, but you could really work on, like, the way you speak. It's very... It's irritating", Lila said as Five help Y/n's hand helping her jump over the cabinets dropped on the ground. 

"Why do we keep going in more and more doors from like an hour... It's started to feel like we have been here forever now. This is like a maze. Especially this place is suffocating", Y/n said. 

"Just a bit more, love", he mumbled. "Do you even know where you are going, honey?", Y/n asked. "Trust me", he whispered. "Five... Are you okay?", Y/n asked. "What?", he asked. 

"You are sweating a lot. You keep scratching your neck and... Are you nervous?", he asked. "I am not going to deny that... Something does feel like a... bit off", he said. 

"Oh- Aren't these symptoms of Paradox Psychosis?", Y/n asked. "Y/n... Nothing else is going according to the laws so I am pretty sure we can cut Paradox Psychosis some slack", he said. 

"I am just saying, you know... What if... you are?", she asked. "There is no other timelines left. Where would I meet myself here?", he asked making her shrug. 

"As you say so, Five. I don't want to get into these things anymore", she said. "I hope so. It's sweat and itching. Must be the weird snow", he said. "I hope you are right", she said. 

"What are we going to do after this?", Five whispered. "I guess we would be on our way trying to fix another apocalypse. One after another. This is the third time now", Y/n mumbled. 

"Oh yeah? And what's to say it will stop the third time? That there won't be another stupid apocalypse in the next place we jump to", he asked. 

"Firstly... Third time's a charm. Secondly, we don't even know if it's an apocalypse, Five... You are being awfully pessimistic again", she said. 

"It is completely normal to be like that, you know? Did you not see what Herb said?", he asked. 

"Well maybe its some... minor malfunctioning in the time and space continuum", Y/n said. "Minor? That's causing all this?", he asked in disbelief.
