Five's POV
I know what everyone thinks—that Y/N and I fell in love and skipped la-dee-da into the sunset of the apocalypse.
Well, you're wrong.
Life's not a fairytale—it's more like a shit-stealing machine of bad decisions and existential dread. And if anyone tells you otherwise, they're lying right to your stupid, naive face.
Things never turn out the way they should. What you want is irrelevant in life's cynical plan of torture. Take me, for example. All I wanted was to time travel. What did I get? Acorns at the bottom of the shitstorm sea. Death. Tragedy.
So no, I don't have time for feelings. Y/N and I have a practical, co-existing relationship. We help each other survive. It's a mutually beneficial agreement. We're both trying to get through this desolate wasteland, and I just happen to tolerate her company better than most of the other idiots I've been unfortunate enough to meet.
I don't love her.
Even when I think about her cheeky smile. The way she rolls her eyes at me, like I'm ridiculous.
Or when she gets that intense look when using her powers, the one I find—
Shit.
