Not Even Close || Number Five x Fem!Reader

Chapter 23

Five looked over to his shoulder, at unconscious Diego, and pondered. "I guess I would've grown up to be an emotionally stunted man-child like everybody else around here... Well, except for Y/N."

"Well, there you go. Now you can grow up." With that, he stood up from his seat, "Good luck."

"One more thing before you go." Five called.

"Shoot."

"Which one of you was the trigger man for Detective Patch?" The boy asked.

"Trigger woman." Hazel corrected.

"Huh. That's too bad." Number Five faltered, "That gun could have cleared my brother's name."

Hazel started fumbling under his blazer, "Well, today's your lucky day, amigo." He remarked, showing him two pistols, surrendering them. "Take 'em both." He insisted, "I'm done with this life."

With that, Hazel left without another word. Five stared into space, thinking of what should his next move would be.

The H/C haired girl exhaled as she sat there in front of the front door, invisible so no one could bother her. She learned that the hard way when she went out by herself when the group was still intact.

She watched children playing hopscotch on the sidewalk. Few bicycle and motorbike riders were passing by, going for a cruise. As much as she enjoyed observing and watching people going on about their lives, she still had this bad feeling in her stomach that she couldn't shake off.

Although everything was over, she knew something wasn't right. She just doesn't know what it is.

Suddenly, a cab stopped by in front of their house. Y/N turned herself visible as soon as she saw Vanya get out of it. "Vanya?" She called out.

It caught Vanya's attention when she hear the girl's voice. "Y/N.." Her voice croaked as she walked up to her. "You're okay.." She exclaimed as she pulled Y/N into a hug.

The girl hugged back immediately when she felt her sobbing. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean what I said. I didn't mean to push you. I– I was out of control and I–"

"It's okay, I know. I know." Y/N consoled as she rubbed her back, "There was nothing wrong about what you said. All you ever did was told me the truth." At this point, she was starting to tear up, "I know I'm not a part of the family, anyways. But it's all good. You're just learning about your new powers, I understand."

She pulled away and looked at her sister in the eye, "Now, I don't know about the others, but I forgive you. Okay?" The H/C haired girl wiped off her tears.

"Thank you." Vanya croaked, "Thank you for forgiving me." She added, wiping off the remainder of  her tears with her sleeve.

"Now, I suppose you're here to check on Allison?" Y/N asked. Vanya nodded in response.

The girl hummed, "All right, now go ahead. I'll see you later."

With that, Vanya opened the door and got in the house and Y/N went back to staring into space. Until Five showed up with the same bag he carried Delores in a few days ago.

"Hey, Y/N?" Number Eight turned her attention to him and hummed as a reply. In the outside, she looked like everything was cool and fine. But inside she was thinking about the kiss they had a while ago and it made her fluttery.

"Would you mind if I ask you to take me somewhere?" He asked.

Y/N's eyebrows furrowed, "Not at all. I could use some cruising with my triumph after all. Where to?"
