"Tavia?" Five called out to the girl, who was standing on the other side of the room. She hummed at him, signalling she'd heard him, but didn't make much effort to move.

"Can you give me a hand?" He held the needle and thread between his fingers.

"Oh, no, I don't think so. I'm pretty sure I'm useless." Octavia said, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"Tavia..." Five sighed, his eyes falling to the floor. "I didn't mean it like that."

"Well, you said it didn't you? Pretty confidently too." The girl leaned back against the wall.

"You know it wasn't about you, I was talking about Klaus, and everyone besides you." Five stood up, holding the needle awkwardly in his hand, keeping it close to his shoulder. "You've done so much for me, and I can't put into words how grateful I am for all those times you've saved my life. You're not useless to me."

"Why didn't you tell Klaus it was me?" Octavia steered away from the topic. Now that Klaus had been brought into the conversation, she'd remembered the fact that Five purposely didn't tell him that it was her that Five had married.

"That you were what?" Five looked at her with a puzzled look.

"That I'm the one you married. Do you regret it? Is that why you didn't tell him?" She unravelled her arms, letting them fall to her side as she bit on her lip.

Five took a step closer to her, dropping the needle and thread, letting it hang from his shoulder. He put his now free hand on her cheek and gazed into her eyes.

"I could never regret marrying you. You are by far the best thing that's happened to me, and I would never change anything that happened between us." Octavia stared right back at him, letting his words sink in.

"Then why didn't you tell Klaus?" She raised her eyebrow.

"I..." Five trailed off. "I didn't know if you were ready to tell everyone yet. I didn't even know if I was ready to tell everyone yet. I mean, it must be weird seeing your little brother and little sister appear out of nowhere and claim they got married."

Octavia let out a small laugh. "That's gotta be confusing."

"Besides, I don't need to prove to anyone that I'm in love with you. The only person I have to prove it to, is you." Five slid his hand down to Octavia's jaw, slightly pushing it up. He leaned in slowly, and although there wasn't much space to close, he took his time.

When their lips finally met, and their eyes closed, Octavia leaned into Five's touch. The kiss was sweet, there was no need for rushing, not even when the world was ending in a week. Octavia wanted Five closer, so she put her arms around his neck, accidentally skimming over Five's bullet wound.

"Fuck." Five hissed, detaching himself from the kiss.

"Shit, did I hurt you?" Octavia put her hands on his cheeks, her brows furrowing in concern.
