ROSES AND FLAMES - Five Hargreeves

42. wedding and bells

A bachelorette party. She's been to a fair few, old friends from the commission that had their contract up would invite her to weddings, and she wasn't the only one that would attend, sometimes seeing five showing up because he had to.

Josie stared at the options of dresses to choose from, not wanting to upstage Sloane but also still dress like a sixteen year old still. With a red bow in her hair, she thought wearing a black dress would be perfect, seeing one with flowers, being marigolds on them.

Standing in the middle of her room, the door opened to give coming in with a bottle of scotch, scoffing as he sat on the bed. "This one is nice." He told her, pointing to the other dress with lilies on them instead, Josie now contemplating them.

"I saw how you acted during that meeting, what's wrong?" Josie asked, deciding to wear his option, five looking at her with concern. "We should've ran away or something, I could've taken you to another timeline, grow old together or something. You're the only person I need." Five told her, opening up the bottle of scotch.

"Five your family needs you—"

"Our family needs us. You and Lila are apart of this family too, don't think like that." He corrected, Josie sighing a little with that comment. "That's not the point five. If we're really not going to give a shit anymore, then we should embrace your brother is finally getting married, I mean he moved on from Allison." She commented, five agreeing with her.

"Let's just get drunk yeah? Thats always fun with you." He told her, getting up and kissing her cheek, staring at her left hand for a moment. "I'm going to the bachelor, is Sloane having a bachelorette?" He asked, Josie shaking her head.

"No, but I'm helping her with her dress. Allison is currently somewhere and Lila and Diego are either fucking or fighting." Josie simply said, five not needing any images of that right now, Josie shaking her head at the thought of it.

Looking away from the dresses, Josie stared at five, patting his shoulder. "I love you." She said, a little too casually. It was rare to speak about love to each other five staring at her.

"I love you too." He said, patting her hand. They were comfortable with each other, so comfortable that it was easy to talk about the love they had for each other. Smiling without needing to say anything else, five got up from the bed, kissing her cheek as he left the room, Josie changing into her dress and hoping to find Sloane to make her dress.

Staring at herself, Josie knew she wouldn't get a wedding like this, finding Sloane's room, knocking on the door. "You got ready so early!" She gasped, Josie looking at her watch to see it only be an hour.

"I like to get ready early." Josie said, Sloane riding her rob and opening the door wider, Josie seeing the layout be different in this room too.

"Ah I've never done something like this before. Get married at the end of the world? Crazy." Sloane rambled, Josie looking at all the fabrics she put together. "Yeah, I've been three ends of the worlds, you'll get used to it." Josie sarcastically said, Sloane a little scared with that comment.

"It's all good fun, but I'm glad Luther found you. He was hung up on this girl for too long in our last timeline so it'll glad you and him are celebrating your love." Josie told her, coming over to sit down with her, seeing the shoes to choose from.

"Don't wear heels, your feet will hurt while dancing. These white flats are cute." Josie told her, Sloane stitching up her dress together. "I wish we got to know each other more. Luther talks about you a lot. You practically saved five." Sloane said, Josie looking up from the shoes.

"Really?" She asked in a soft tone, Sloane nodding her head with a gentle smile. "Luther said you're a great addition to the family, even Lila." Smiling at how Luther talks so highly about her, Josie made sure to give him a hug when the world goes to shit, sighing and seeing the door open.
