I Need You (Five Hargreeves x Reader) Number Five

Chapter 120

"It's total this time... Everything collapses... Undivided. It whole", Y/n mumbled.

"You are right... And you, number Five... I've seen worlds end in ways that would knock your socks off, old man", Reginald said. 

"Wow! Reginald Hargreeves, you never cease to surprise me", Five said. 

"That is some comfort... You know, they all run together after a while. But you never forget your first. Your home... Your original sin", he said. 

"Not really", Y/n said. "Why?", Reginald asked. 

"You see... I didn't have really have many happy memories in my original home... But here I have Five... Home doesn't always have to be a physical place you know... It can be a time, a feeling... a person", she said. 

"You may be right... But with all this... You never stop wondering, "Did I do enough to save the people I loved? The person who was my home", he said. "Did you?", the couple asked in unison. 

"No, but I was hoping you children could help me out with that", he said. "And there it is... Sorry, Reg. I got a message from the future", Five said. "What future?", Reginald asked. 

"We met Five's older self in the Commission. The conversation was brief... maybe not that fruitful... But he managed to set forth the most important part", Y/n said. 

"What did he say?", Reginald asked. "My future self told me very explicitly not to save this world", Five said confidently but Reginald started laughing. 

"You are an arrogant son of a bitch, aren't you? "Future you". "Present you". The past is as much a mystery as the future", he said as Y/n sighed. 

"You know what.... Alright... If you are so adamant on the meeting, we will attend it... But it is up to the siblings to make the decision whether they want to do what you tell them to", Y/n said. 

"Y/n!", Five whisper yelled. "That is completely up to you... I just want you to hear me out", he said. "Y/n!", Five repeated. "You know he won't give up if we don't listen to him", Y/n mumbled.

 "You ruined your life once before by not listening to me. Are you prepared to do that again?", Reginald asked Five as Y/n looked at Five's face which clearly gave away that Reginald had finally got him, making Five sigh. 

"Fine...Just because of Y/n... We'll attend your stupid meeting", Five said. "Excellent!", Reginald exclaimed standing up. 

"If... you tell me what happened with you in the Buffalo Suite last night. Who were you talking to? Was it Klaus? Was it Ben?", Five asked. 

"No one. I was alone. Though I doubt you were in any condition to remember...", he said with a triumph smile. "Trust me... He has got loads to remember", Y/n mumbled. 

"We should go. Don't want to be late for the meeting", Reginald said yet Five didn't move an inch. "I would move if I were you", Reginald said.
