I Need You (Five Hargreeves x Reader) Number Five

Chapter 138

"Okay, for the sake of discussion, let's say this is legit... Does anyone here actually want their power back?", Five asked placing the marigold on the table earning a nod from Ben. 

"No, siree, Bob", Klaus replied instantly. "Yeah", Ben raised his hand while Klaus took a small bite of his food. 

"For the first time in my life, I'm sober. A-and... happy. But most importantly, 100% poltergeist-free", Klaus said as Y/n saw the waiters passing around. 

"You really think it's a good idea to put the magic potion like thing right in the middle of the table in front of other people?", Y/n asked. 

"Nope, honey... It was just there in the spirit of discussion. But that goes away now", he said quickly putting it back in the box, as she placed her hand on his shoulder. 

"Are you alright?", he asked as she nodded. "You?", she asked as he nodded as well. 

"Hey", he whispered. "What?", Y/n asked. "Thanks for always checking up on me", he mumbled making her smile a bit. 

"You too, Five... And you don't need to say thanks. That's why we are here for each other, aren't we?", she asked as he held onto her hand, softly caressing it. 

"Free? You rarely leave the house. And when you do, you're wearing surgical gloves in public", Allison said as the diverted their attention back to the bickering duo. 

"Yeah, well, at least I'm in control", Klaus said. "Showtime", the chef informed them as he started showing them a few tricks with his knife and other cooking equipment. 

"Look at this chump... Angle's wrong. Sloppy form", Diego mumbled to Lila who was right by her side. Y/n was sitting beside Five and Viktor on her right. 

The chef cheered as he finally ended the trick making everyone but Diego clap. 

"Very amusing!", Y/n said. "Good job, sir", Five added. "Nice", Viktor said. "He is so good", Luther said as Diego gave him a somewhat disgusted and judgy look. 

"Look, guys, it's a hard no for me too", Viktor continued onto the debate. 

"I've got a bar to run, friends. Like, a real life", Viktor explained. 

"You're all nuts, all right? We should be mainlining this shit right now", Ben said as Y/n saw Klaus draw out a long floss cleaning his teeth making Y/n look at him in disbelief. 

"You want some?", he asked. "No... And I promise not be shocked at what you do from now on", she replied. "Thanks... I appreciate it", Klaus said. 

"Look, come on, big guy. I know you want it", Ben said trying to convince Luther. "Wait! I mean, that's a tough one", Luther said. 

"Come on. You don't need that, Luther. Your life is fantastic", Klaus said. "Klaus... Are you gaslighting him?", Y/n asked. "Doesn't hurt to try", he mumbled.
