TW: violence, gunshots

☂ I love you...even if you can't love yourself ☂ 

'Well, this is not good.' Five mutters, sitting down on the steps outside. I begrudgingly sit next to him.

'I was pretty good, though, right?' Klaus chuckles amiably. 'What about my consent, bitch?'

'That was the funniest thing I've ever seen,' I laugh in agreement and give Klaus a fist bump.

'It doesn't matter.' Five says grumpily.

'What?' Klaus asks. 'What? What's the big deal with this eye, anyway?'

'There is someone out there who's going to lose an eye in the next seven days.' Five says casually, his expression clouding. 'They're gonna bring about the end of life on this Earth as we know it.'

'Yeah, can I get that 20 bucks, like, now, or what?' Klaus asks.

'Your 20 bucks?'

'Yeah, my 20 bucks.'

I hand him another hundred.

'You're an angel, Number Eight,' Klaus sighs happily.

'The apocalypse is coming, and all you can think about is getting high?' Five rolls his eyes.

'Well, I'm also quite hungry.' Klaus says. 'Tummy's a-rumblin'.'

Five sits there in silence for a second.

'You're useless.' He utters. 'You're all useless!'

'Your welcome,' I say sarcastically. 

'Oh, come on. You need to lighten up, old man.' Klaus pauses. 'Hey, you know, I've just now realized why you're so uptight. You must be horny as hell!' He laughs. 'You and Y/n could have a go at it, all dignities set aside!'

I shift my feet uncomfortably.

Five avoids eye contact.

That's awkward.

'Shut up Klaus,' I groan.

He just continues ruthlessly. 'All those years by yourself. It's gotta screw with your head, being alone.'

'Well...' Five trails off. 'I wasn't alone.'

'Oh? Pray tell.'

'Her name was Dolores.'

My eyes widen.

Dolores who?

'Um. What?'

'Yeah,' Five says, somewhat smugly. 'We were together for over 30 years. After..you know.'

I narrow my eyes. 'I thought there were no other survivors.'

'Dolores is just that special,' Five shrugs.

'You little jerk,' I get to my feet, storming off.

I can feel Five's eyes on my as I walk away.

'Y/n..' He says loudly. 'Wait.'

'What?' I wheel around.

'I want to introduce you to Dolores,' Five says. 'You'll get along with her.'

I shoot a furious glance at Klaus, who just raises his eyebrows.

'Fine.'

'Take my hand.'
