"You're too sweet for me!"
Angelica chocked on her drink, some of the hot chocolate dribbling out of the side of her mouth as she was left in disbelief with what Five had just said, with what she thought her said.
"Excuse me?", she thought she was delusional, thinking she'd heard him wrong.
"Their!", Five was quick to answer, scratching his neck nervously as he nodded down to the donut she still had extended out to him.
"The donuts! The donuts are too sweet for me...", he corrected himself, mentally reprimanding himself as he prayed she didn't notice.
"Oh..", Angelica drifted off, slowly lowering her donut holding hand down as she mentally kicked herself for thinking he'd said something flirty to her.
Before either could say anymore to one another the doors to the shop opened once more, the bell jingling multiple times as the door kept swinging open, the marching of boots hitting the floor echoing in the quiet shop.
The sound triggered a memory in Angelica's head, the sound of the boots hitting the floor sounding the same as it had many years ago.
Five looking into the bell he'd been ringing earlier, it being shiny enough for him to see his reflection, along with the commission soldiers gathering around him and Angelica with their guns raised.
Going to turn her head around, curious on why there was suddenly a bunch of footsteps entering the shop, Angelica was stopped as Five grabbed her elbow. His touch telling her to stay faced forward.
"Huh, that was fast!", Five said ironically, his cool demeanor returning from his previous awkward one. "I thought I'd have more time before they found me."
"So, let's all be professional about this", the guy closest to them said, aiming his words and gun particularly at Five. "Both of you on your feet and come with us. They want to talk."
"I've got nothing to say", Five said simply with a shrug of his shoulders.
Though inside Five knew exactly why they were here and it wasn't just to talk. They wanted to kill him and take the girl....Angelica.
They were here for execute him for breaking his contract, trying to change the timeline and robbing one of their valuable assets.
Well....now that he thought of it, technically he didn't rob Angelica from them, seeming as they never had her.
So if they took her now they'd technically be robbing her from him, Five almost hummed out loud at his own selfish reasonings.
"It doesn't have to go this way", the guy told him, pointing his rifle at the two of them. "You think I want to shoot two kids? Go home with that on my conscience?"
"Well, I wouldn't worry about that....", Five trailed off, darting his eyes around strategically, staying turner away.
