How Could You? Five x Reader (rewrite ver)

6

I arrived at Griddy's with sweat dripping down my forehead. I couldn't believe the situation I was in. Maybe a coffee would help me calm down...
"Hey, Y/n. What can I get you?" Agnes smiled.

"Um, just an iced coffee please," I said tiredly. Agnes nodded and went to the coffee machine. I really hope Five, or anyone won't show up here. Unfortunately, I can never be alone for once. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Vanya walk into the cafe. She ran over to me as soon as she saw me.

"Y/n! Oh my god, I've been worried about you! You can't just run away without telling me. What if you got kidnapped or something?" Vanya exclaimed worried.

"I'm sorry Vanya, but how can you just be ok with this? Five coming back, after being gone for so long. You all act like it's normal, but it's not," I said to her.

"Y/n, we're all as shocked as you are. Maybe you aren't as mature as us," Vanya suggested.

"Please, Vanya. You know that's not true," I said annoyed, sipping the coffee that was just handed to me.

"Sorry, Y/n. I grabbed all our things so we could go home after this," Vanya said taking out our bags from under the table.

"Thank you," I replied, going back to my coffee.

I followed Vanya in the dark hallway as we approached our apartment. As she opened the door, a light turned on inside. "Jesus!" Vanya sighed surprised.

"Who is it, Vanya?" I asked, still behind her. I couldn't see much from where I was standing.

"You should have locks on your windows," I heard a voice from inside. Five, of course it's him. What is he doing here?

'Nope, I can't talk to him just yet' I thought as I turned around and started walking towards the stairs. "One moment," Vanya said before closing the door and running over to me.

"Y/n! Where do you think you're going?" Vanya asked.

"I'm not going in there, I can't face him again," I said back.

"Y/n, don't be afraid, it's just Five. I know you still have a crush on hi-"

"I've never had a crush on him! Ever!" I cut her off.

"Come on Y/n, be brave. If it gets out of hand, I'll kick him out, ok?" Vanya encouraged.

"Fine, but if he tries to talk to me, you better change the subject. I followed Vanya back into our apartment and closed the door behind me. Vanya sat on the couch while I stayed in the kitchen, trying to be as invisible as I could.

"Is that blood?" Vanya asked Five while eyeing the huge cut near his wrist.

"It's nothing," Five simply stated.

"Why are you here?" Vanya asked. I sat farther away, hoping Five would ignore me.

"I've decided you both are the only people I could trust," Five said looking at me first, then to Vanya. I stood there silent, wondering what he meant.

"Why us?" Vanya asked looking back at me.

"Because, Vanya, you're ordinary and you'll listen... Y/n, I just don't know much about you yet. We haven't talked properly since-"

"I don't like that cut on you're arm," Vanya admitted cutting Five off, "Y/n, go get something to clean it up." I nodded and headed to the bathroom. I opened the cabinet to reveal a shelf of pills and everyday medical supplies. I grabbed the bandages, cotton pads, and alcohol. I walked over to Vanya and handed her the things without making eye contact with Five.

"I'm going to bed, goodnight Vanya," I said while leaving the room. I left my door slightly open so I could listen in on their conversation.

"When I jumped forward, I got stuck in the future. You know what I found? Nothing, absolutely nothing. As far as I could tell, I was the last person that was alive. And I never figured out who killed the human race, but I did find something else, the date it happens," Five explained, "the world ends in eight days, and I have no idea how to stop it."

I was shocked at what I was hearing. The world is going to end, and all of us are going to die? Five frowned, and looked towards my room to see me already looking at him. I tried to read his mind to find out what he was thinking, but I guess he could tell what I was trying to do.
"Y/n I know you're reading my mind. I want to stop the apocalypse, but you have to talk to me. I know you're really mad at me for leaving you, and I'm sorry. But please try to forget because if we don't work together, the world will end. I don't want our last memories of each other to negative. Meet me at the Academy tomorrow morning at 8"
