Not Even Close || Number Five x Fem!Reader

Chapter 14

She didn't mean to eavesdrop, she was just about to go to her room and change her clothes. Until she overheard everything and forgot about going to her room.

She knocked on the door to get Five's attention. "Need some help with that?" She pointed out the paper Five was writing some equations on. She had nothing else to do. So why not help save the world?

Until he refused, "I think I'll solve this on my own for now. Thanks anyways."

Y/N understood. But she was a little jittery from the coffee she drank. She had to do something that would make her distracted from being jumpy.

And by that, she meant going with Diego and Klaus unnoticeably.

The skies joined Klaus' gloomy state. He was on the passenger seat in Diego's car, constantly drinking alcohol as he stared at the window. Diego thought he was being unusually quiet. He wasn't used to it. "You okay?" He asked, although he didn't get an answer as if Klaus didn't hear anything.

"Wow. This is a first." Diego exclaimed, "My brother Klaus is silent. Last time your were this quiet we were 12." He continued, "Ran down the stairs wearing Grace's heels, tripped over and broke your jaw." He recalled as Klaus still stared out the window that had raindrops on it.

"How long was it wired again?"

"Eight weeks." Klaus answered quietly.

"Eight glorious weeks of bliss." Diego replied. Klaus didn't have the audacity to care about what his brother was saying. All he was thinking about was when he travelled through time.

Until a certain pub caught his eye, "Hey, just.. just drop me off here." He requested as he propped himself up from his seat.

Diego looked over to where his brother wanted to be dropped off. He got confused when he parked his car in front of the place as he read the name of the pub. "You sure you're okay, man?" He asked.

Klaus didn't answer him. Instead, he closed the door like no one was talking to him.

Now as much as Diego found his brother annoying, he was worried of how quiet and gloomy he was. This isn't him, he thought.

He thought he was alone in the car. "Tell me about it." Until he was taken off guard by Y/N's voice in his head.

He was relieved when he found out it was only her, be he was slightly annoyed, "Geez, stop doing that."

The girl turned visible in the back. "Sorry."

"What are you even doing here? I'm surprised you're not with Five right now. You've been running along with him lately. Are you two a thing?" Diego babbled.

Y/N's eyebrows furrowed, "What? No, we're not. He has a girlfriend of 30 years for Christ's sake!" She protested.

Number Two scoffed, "You do know you're talking about a mannequin, right?"

"Yes, I do know I'm talking about a mannequin. And I'm not here for a lovey dovey chit chat, I'm here for Klaus before those former veterans beat the shit out of him."

"But albeit you wish you were Delores.." Diego mumbled to himself. But Number Eight heard it loud enough to smack him at the back of his head.

She kept on denying it to herself. But she knew he was right.

Klaus had a shot of liquor as he entered the pub. All of the people in the room looked at him strangely when he started walking around like he knew the place.
