After All This Time

Chapter Thirty-Seven

We all took several drinks out of our glasses, and then set them back down, making faces at the taste of our alcohol. Besides Klaus. We all finished our food quickly after that.

"Alright. I think I'm gonna hit the hay." Five said.

Klaus said, "Sounds good, I am going to get a little shut eye as well. Long day." Klaus chuckled. "Well, days."

Five stood up, "Care to join me?"

"Yeah, one sec." I responded, and then picked up my mimosa and chugged the rest of it in 6 seconds.

"Slow down, Y/n. Remember what happened last time you were... you know..." Luther stuck out his pinky and thumb and acted as if it were a bottle.

"You mean when Five and I drank a whole bottle of vodka, and nearly blacked out, and then you walked in on him checking my wound and you thought we boned? Nah, no Luther, I don't remember." I retorted sarcastically, and stood up from my seat. "Plus, I just took a nap, and alcohol makes you tired, so I would like to go back to sleep. Goodnight you two."

"There is a buffet down here at 8, I'll see you guys then!" Klaus holered to us.

I walked over to Five and he put his arm around my waist as we walked back down the hallway. We went into the elevator and to our floor, and then back to our room.

"Why don't you just let me open the door instead of using keys? It could save time, and even if I wasn't here you could just blink in." I said as Five shut the door behind him.

"Fair point." Five threw the keys on the desk and picked up a clean pair of pants that he got from the lost and found.

I picked up the clean sports bra and sweatpants, and then went to the opposite corner of the room where I couldn't see where Five was, and we both changed. After I was done, I walked back over to the closet to hang up my robe, and saw Five tying the string to some blue plaid pajama pants and no shirt.

"Original." I teased and hung up my robe.

Five scoffed and looked at me with a smile, not saying a word.

"What?"

Five's eyes went down to my chest, at first I thought he was looking at what I was wearing, but then I saw it myself. There were bunches of red marks along my collarbone, and some of them purple. All along the sides of my neck and under it. I put my hand on one of the purple ones and it was tender.

I slowly looked up at him, "Are you shitting me?" I said in a low tone.

"What was that?" Five stepped closer to me.

"I said, are you shitting me?" I spoke again in a slightly louder tone, looking up at him.

Five wrapped his arms around me quickly and tipped us both over and then blinked onto the bed, him wrapped around me tightly.

I gasped, startled, "Jesus, Five." I said muffled by his chest.

Five let go of me and rolled off the top of me, put his arms over his head and sighed.

"But seriously, I'm going to need some makeup to cover this in the morning." I said sitting up.

"Alright, but for now you don't need to worry about it." Five smiled and turned his head to me.
