Not Even Close || Number Five x Fem!Reader

Chapter 41

"Jill. I.." Ben blurted out with a sigh, "I want to talk to her."

Klaus tried recalling on who he was talking about, "Jill.." He wondered, "Oh, that's the, um... the Moroccan girl with a limp? Right?"

"Seriously? We've been over this." Ben had already explained what she looked like to him. It was unbelievable how he still did not have any idea who she is. "I so rarely listen to you." Klaus mumbled.

"Klaus!" His brother begged.

"All right, fine."

Ben could never be more ecstatic after he eventually let him do it. "Okay." He rubbed his hands together as he readied himself to enter Klaus' body. "But wait!" Until Klaus stopped him from doing so, "We need to talk about ground rules."

Number Five read the said location once again to make sure he was in the right place. While doing so, he could feel someone's presence behind him since he got there. But no one was there. He imagined it was only Y/N in her invisible state. Though her words were clear. She wasn't coming with him.

Although it made him suspicious, he didn't have the time to figure out who was following him. He just wanted to get over with the task he was assigned to do.

Little did he know the girl was there all along.

Y/N followed him a tad far away from him, still invisible. She stuffed her hands in her pockets as she walked up to the lodge with Five in front of her, pausing when he was almost hit by a car door.

When they entered, the place was filled with people chatting up about who knows what. "Excuse me." Five called out a staff, making her jump.

"Uff da." She exclaimed, "You snuck up on me there." Her voice was sickeningly polite. It weirded Y/N out. "If you're looking for the cookies, we don't put 'em out till 3:00." She remarked before going back to writing something on the table.

"I can hardly wait." Five said in unsettlement, "Uh, do you happen to know where the Midwest Soybean Society is meeting?" He asked, trying to sneak himself in to take out the board.

The woman nodded, "Sure do. Muskellunge Banquet Room." She pointed out, "You looking for your mom? She in for the convention?" She bombarded him with questions in way as if she was talking to a little kid.

The boy's eyes were trained towards the vending machine from afar. He needed a distraction.. and a light snack. So he dug through his pocket for money, "Hey, could I get some change?" He requested all of a sudden, handing out the money he eventually got out of his pocket.

"Oh, sure, I'll just look in my purse." The lady accepted as she unzipped her fanny pack (or bum bag if it sounds wrong for you lmao) to grab change. Five let her take her time digging through her bag whilst propping up his blazer. It had became a habit whenever he was stressed and uncomfortable at the same time. It was one quirk Y/N had noticed when nobody ever did.

Which was strange. Now she knew she was always observant of her surroundings. But she has never observed anyone as much as she observed Five. Like how he tugged or run his hand through his hair whenever he's thinking of something. Or how... I should stop doing that. She thought to herself.

"Only a nickel and a couple of dimes." The staff continued computing until she found some coins for him. "Oh, You... are..." Her grin got even wider as she looked back at Five with the change in her hand, "in.. luck, mister." She baffled as she handed them to him.

Number Five had a sudden thought after he looked the change in his hand, "You know, some say the best luck is to die at the right time." He stated before leaving the confused woman behind with the invisible girl following him shortly.
