__________________________________________
Viktor and Allison were both asleep, but Malia laid awake, eyes glued on the ceiling above her. She always had trouble sleeping, and the apocalypse hanging in her mind didn't help. It was hard to believe these were the last few days she was ever going to live, and she had to do it with some family she happened to run into when she was a kid. Bullshit. They probably didn't even care about her.
Her thoughts were put to an end when the door creaked open, but she didn't bother to move. Not until she felt the bed shift due to a certain weight. She rested her weight on her forearm to look at who joined her and caught eyes with Five. He gave one of his weak smiles, staring right back at her.
"I thought you were too good for me now, too obsessed with the apocalypse?" She smiled.
He chuckled before responding, "Well, we have two days left to live, better get all the things I've had on my bucket list done".
"To get your dick wet?" She asked, a bit confused on why he was here but had a smile regardless. "To tell the girl I've thought about every day for the last 45 years that I still love her" he responded.
She furrowed her eyebrows, searching his eyes for any sign of deception, but she found none. He was serious.
"I knew you were awake, thought now would be a good time" he said, his eyes drifting from hers to look out the window. Most of the world was gone, destroyed by the Kugelblitz. The light from it casted into the room, leaving the floors and walls glowing slightly red. It was beautiful, yes, but also terrifying. The world was ending, and there was nothing that could be done to prevent it.
Malia laid back, hands running over her face with a sigh. "You okay?" Five asked, his eyes running over her clearly exhausted face. "We'll be dead this time tomorrow" she chuckled, though it wasn't a laughing matter, and it clearly had her stressed. The boy sighed as well and laid on his back next to her. They both stayed silent for a moment, before Malia felt his arms snake under her back and roll her on top of him. Her leg draped over his torso and his hand fell on her thigh. She didn't fight it, if he was ready to give up trying to save the world just to hold her for the last few seconds, so be it. She'll be in his arms as the world collapses.
Silence filled the room again before she finally spoke. "I still love you too, Five".
