Y/ns pov
I had found five outside, he was sat on the edge of the world still drinking. I decided to join him.
" hey five" I said as I sat beside him
" hi darling " he wrapped an arm around me and pulled me closer
We sat in silence, I took in what was left of this stupid planet and the chaos surrounding it
" Reginald. " said five after a while , I looked back to see the older man and sighed
" I take it you know why I'm here. " he replied
" how 'bout I save you some time?and give you the "no" upfront. " five suggested " I'm not the least bit interested in this bullshit plan you've been cooking. "
" it's not, as you so colourfully called it , bullshit " reg replied "mind if I join you? "
" actually, we'd appreciate some....solitude " he sighed as reg took a seat anyway
" it seems, we aren't getting any " I huffed
Five passed him the bottle, he took a swig
" dear god! " he exclaimed
" mmh -hmm , Louis XIII, it ain't " five replied
" I've had worse " Reggie sighed " it is impressive isn't it? "
" out of all the ways we could of screwed the pooch, this way is the most complete " said five " I'm relived, actually. This time, everything goes. There's no commission, no leaping away. No life spent going mad with the desperation to see a familiar face. "
" I've seen worlds end in ways that would knock your socks of, old man " reg admitted
" wow! Reginald hargeeves you never cease to surprise me. "
" that is some comfort " the elder continued " you know , they all run together after a while. But you never forget your first. Your home. Your original sin. You never stop wondering, 'did if I enough to save the people I loved?'"
" did you? " I asked
" no, but I was hoping you children could help me out with that " he replied
" and there it is " five sighed then taking another sip of his drink "sorry, reg. I got a message from the future. "
" what future? " he snickered
" my future self told me very explicitly not to save this world " five replied causing Reginald to laugh
" you are an arrogant son of a bitch, aren't you? " he laughed " 'future you' ' present you' the past is as much a mystery as the future. You ruined your life once before by not listening to me. Are you prepared to do that again? " I clenched my jaw at the man as rage surged through my body
" fine " five sighed " we'll attend your stupid meeting"
" excellent! " Reggie exclaimed with a smile
" if " five continued causing him to stop in his tracks " you tell me what happened with you in the buffalo suit last night"
I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, what happened in the buffalo suit?
" who were you talking to? " five questioned further " was it Klaus? Was it ben? "
" no one . I was alone. " the elder replied " though I doubt you were in any condition to remember. We should go. don't want to be late for the meeting. " Five scoffed and looked back into the distance " I would move if I were you. "
" what ,are you threatening me? " five furrowed his brows
Suddenly the ground I sat on fell, I shrieked and blinked back next to five on the ground. He helped me up and pulled me into a hug .
" shall we? " said Reginald who began walking away
" are you ok?' Five whispered to me
" yeah , i-im fine. Let's just go to that meeting "
I pulled out of the hug and quickly walked after reginald, five following after us
