"I hate to be the one to say it, but she's kinda right. Honestly, you've been spending way too much time by yourself up here recently."

"Oh god, not you too! I have to get these figured out or else everything is gonna go up in smoke. I'm not just doing it to save the world, I'm doing it to protect you guys, (Y/n) included! Why can't she get that?!"

"Maybe she doesn't know that. Have you done anything to let her know that's what you're doing?"

"No, she should already know."

"But does she really know that's the case? You haven't necessarily been around her enough to let her know that in the past few days." Vanya suggested with a small shrug.

Five looked at Vanya in confusion for a couple seconds before recognition finally washed over him.

"Oh, shit..." Exclaimed the boy as he ran a hand through his hair.

"I messed up, didn't I?"

"Pretty much, yeah." Vanya hesitantly agreed, scratching the back of her head.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, Van." Five said sarcastically as he stood from his chair and began to pace.

Vanya smiled kindly as she walked over and placed her arm around her brother.

"You know, you do get kind of lost in the doomsday things at times."

"I don't mean to, it's just a bad habit of sorts. I do it to make sure (Y/n) stays safe. But now, she's gonna hate me after what I said."

"Five, (Y/n) cares about you just like we do- maybe even a little more. She just wants to make sure you're happy and healthy, that's all. All you have to do is go remind her that you're doing all of this for her."

"I guess I should go apologize then?"

"Yes, I think that's probably for the best." Vanya chuckled as she gave Five a pat on the back.

Five laughed lightly and shook his head in reply before leaving the room to go and search for (Y/n). After jumping into the kitchen and attic, he eventually found his way into the living room, where he heard ice clinking in a glass. He spun around to see the very person he'd been hunting for sitting at the bar.

Carefully trying to approach her, he was shocked when (Y/n) turned her head in his direction.

"Quit sneaking up on me, I heard you spatial jump."

"Who said anything about sneaking? I was just simply letting you enjoy the silence." Five stated simply as he moved her way. (Y/n) sighed and circled her chair around to face the boy.

"What do you want, Five? To make me feel worse? If so, then, mission accomplished, because you've somehow already succeeded."

"Listen, about what happened upstairs... I shouldn't have shouted at you like that... it was uncalled for."

"That's an understatement... I seem to recall you calling me irritating for bothering to care about your well being. Last time I make that mistake again, huh?"

"I didn't mean that, it just slipped out in the heat of the moment."

"You seem to be having these moments a lot lately and I'm not interested in experiencing another one."

"Come on, (Y/n), just hear me out for a minute or two, please?"

(Y/n) sputtered her lips before setting her drink down and dropping her feet to the floor.

"Fine, I'll listen."

Five smiled halfheartedly as he placed his hands in his pockets and started to wander around the room as he talked.

"You know, the thing you said up there were right. I don't know when to quit. I didn't want to quit because I know I have to keep going so that I can keep you safe. I wanted to distance you from all the dangerous apocalypse bullcrap, but in doing so, I just pushed you away... I didn't want that to happen but I screwed it up anyway."

"What are you getting at?"

"Look, I know that it's difficult for me to say this at times, but I want you to know that I'm sorry. I guess I've had to act heroic for so long that I don't really know when I've taken it too far..."

"Why should I believe you?"

"Because it's the truth. It wasn't my intention to hurt you and it won't happen again."

"You promise?

"Yes, I promise. I apologize for acting like a jerk. Forgive me?" Five questioned with furrowed brows.

(Y/n) took a small breath in before exhaling with a nod.

"Okay, I accept your apology. Just dont do it again, alright?"

"I think that can be arranged." Five accepted as the two pulled each other into a warm hug.

"I'm sorry too. But y'know, you don't have to play hero when you're with me. I love you no matter what and I always will. You just gotta remember not to get lost in that big old brain of yours." (Y/n) conceded as she held onto Five.

"You think you'd be willing to help me out with that when it happens again?"

"Of course I would. I love you."

"Love you too, (N/,n)."

Five delicately kissed (Y/n) on her forehead before grabbing her hand and leading her forward.

"Come on, I think it's about time that we eat those sandwiches you made us."
