Not Even Close || Number Five x Fem!Reader

Chapter 13

"Well that didn't make sense." Diego thought he was referring to Five. Which made him confused. Until it hit him and Luther, "Klaus."

"Wait," they paused and turned to the girl as she spoke up, "I'll go with you." She said as she tried carefully got herself out of bed without waking up Five.

"Y/N, no, you need to rest." Diego urged.

"But–"

"I don't wanna hear any of it. You just got yourself drunk, you need to stay and rest." Number Two cut her off.

"Go. I'll wait here with.." Diego got himself out without any hesitation before Luther could even finish his sentence. Y/N huffed in defeat. Looks like I have to wait..

The girl climbed on the bed once again and criss-crossed her legs. She looked over Five as she leaned her head on the wall and wondered, Why did I let him drag me into this?

She didn't know the answer to that. It was easy to turn down something when it comes to her co-workers and her siblings. Why can't she say no to him?

"You like him, don't you?" Luther suddenly spoke up as he noticed she was looking at him. She turned to him, "What?" She asked as she didn't heard him when she was distracted by her own thoughts.

"You like him." He stated.

Y/N gave him the look of aversion. "No, I don't." She argued.

"Yes you do."

“NO I DON'T!” Y/N yelled in his mind, causing him to have a headache. "Ow!"

"Serves you right." Y/N muttered.

"Oh, come on, you should see the way you look at him." Luther pointed out. He was really pushing it even though there was nothing more between her and the boy. "And I'm pretty sure he likes you, too."

Number Eight scoffed, "He has Delores for goodness sake." She said, referring to the doll. Luther gave her a look that says 'Seriously?'

"What? He loves that doll more than anything in the world." She remarked.

"Explain the hand holding back there, then." Number One recalled. Y/N wasn't amused by his behaviour. She was starting to wonder why was he the ring leader.

"I was drunk and I was giving him a pep talk. You know how I get when I'm drunk and I'm giving people some pep talk. Heck, I even hold Diego's hand when I talk him brother to sister while I'm drowning in alcohol." She explained.

"Yeah, right." Luther scoffed. The girl ended the conversation with an eye-roll.

Then she looked back at Five, now looking back at what her brother said. By then, she was battling with her own thoughts.

Do I...? Nah! That's impossible. I'm just here to help him save the world.

But why are you helping him when you could've just enjoyed the remainder of your time?

Whatever, there's no way there's something that's gonna happen between us. And even if there is, it would be a waste of time.

She ended her argument with herself by looking away from the boy and folding her arms. But she was getting worried about Diego and Patch. She's seen how those two idiots use their guns. They shoot like they were toys to be played with.

****

Number Five woke up eventually with a messy bed hair that Y/N wanted to fix but she contained herself anyway. She sat beside him and gave him a nudge to ask how he was doing. Five gave her a faint smile in response.
