I Need You (Five Hargreeves x Reader) Number Five

Chapter 100

"It's good... great actually. I... uh. Listened to your advice. Got softer with him. Guess that's all he needed", Diego said. "I am glad you took my advice, Diego", she said. 

"Um... Why did you come out here? You didn't talk to Five?", Diego asked as he grabbed a bottle from his seat taking a sip. 

"I... I did just have a long conversation with him... I kind of had a emotional breakdown but... he is going through a lot himself. He just saw something absurd, Diego. The last he needs is me rambling about my own problems with the family", Y/n said. 

"Well... He always wants to listen. He is worried sick right now", Diego said. 

"You are right but I wanted to give him some time. He can deal with Harlan until then", Y/n said. "You wanna talk to me?", he asked. "Maybe", she mumbled. 

"You know I'm a great therapist", Diego said making Y/n look at him eyebrow raised. "They call me Dr. Fuego", Diego added making her let out a small chuckle. 

"You just made that up right now, Diego... I don't think- No... I highly doubt anyone could call you that... Actually I know that for a fact", she said. 

"They should though", Diego smiled. "Of course they should", Y/n said. "Yeah... Cause that shit sounds badass", he said making her chuckle. 

"I can't argue... You have been a great therapist to me... And Five told me your sentiments about me being your therapist... Thank you... They are appreciated", Y/n said making him mumble a curse at Five. 

"Now... You're gonna tell me... What's going on with you? You can tell me, you know that", he said. 

"It's just... Allison... You know she has always been the kindest person... Nicest to me when no-one else", Y/n said making Diego raise an eyebrow. 

"Okay... You know what I mean", she said. "I get it... We are grading on an umbrella curve", Diego said. 

"I just... I tried to understand her. She had to leave her husband and her daughter. That is the biggest sacrifice one of us could make. I mean... I was separated from Five for like... six weeks and I was falling apart. I almost got my baby h-hurt by the Handler... I don't even remember if something happened before Five went back in time but...", Diego saw how she was trying to hold back her tears but a few droplets escaped her eyes yet she quickly wiped them away. 

"She said I don't know pain... I understand how she would have felt, you know. I get the idea. Leaving her husband... having to leave Claire... I am trying to blame it on that. Things like these could do that to a person. But I just... I can't believe she said all of that to me. I could have said something too... Yet I am trying not to be selfish here and not take it to heart... but I can't help how I feel, Diego", Y/n silently nibbled on her lower lip trying not to cry. 

"You don't need you apologize for feeling a certain way. You are hurt. If anything you deserve all the comfort in the world. There is nothing selfish in feeling what naturally comes to you. You just aren't used to her being like that", Diego said as she nodded.
