Five Hargreeves was living a life he never thought possible. The years of loneliness and despair seemed like a distant memory as he stood in the living room of his beautiful home, sunlight streaming through the large windows. He glanced around, taking in the cozy furniture, the colorful artwork on the walls, and the sense of warmth and love that filled every corner.

Y/n, his beloved wife, walked into the room, a soft smile on her face. "Morning, Five. How did you sleep?"

"Perfectly," Five replied, his heart swelling with love. "I always sleep well when you're beside me."

Y/n laughed, a sound that never failed to make him smile. "That's because you're finally at peace, my love."

They shared a tender kiss, and Five felt a deep contentment that he had never known before. Their life together was everything he had ever dreamed of. They had a beautiful house, a perfect garden, and their love was the best thing in his life.

Days turned into weeks, and Five cherished every moment he spent with Y/n. They cooked together, went on long walks, and spent evenings wrapped in each other's arms, talking about everything and nothing. For the first time in years, Five felt truly happy.

One morning, Five woke up to find Y/n already out of bed. He stretched and got up, looking forward to their usual morning routine. As he walked downstairs, he noticed a familiar magazine on the coffee table. He picked it up, smiling as he saw the cover photo—a woman who looked strikingly like Y/n.

He flipped through the pages, his smile fading as he reached an article about her. The woman in the magazine was a model, someone he had seen before but never met. His heart began to race as a sense of unease settled over him.

Five rubbed his eyes, suddenly feeling disoriented. The vibrant colors of the room began to blur, and the warmth seemed to drain away. He stumbled, reaching out for support, but everything felt insubstantial.

"No," he whispered, panic rising in his chest. "This can't be happening."

He closed his eyes, willing himself to wake up from what felt like a bad dream. When he opened them again, the beautiful house was gone. The warmth and love vanished, replaced by the cold, desolate landscape of the post-apocalyptic future.

Five was back in the ruins, alone. His heart ached with a profound emptiness as he realized that Y/n had never been real. She was just a figment of his imagination, a woman he had seen in a magazine and clung to in his desperation for companionship.

He fell to his knees, the weight of his isolation crushing him. The memories of his life with Y/n were so vivid, so real, that the loss felt unbearable. He buried his face in his hands, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Y/n," he cried out, his voice echoing in the empty wasteland. "I'm so sorry."

Five stayed there for what felt like hours, grieving the loss of the life he had never truly had. The days in the apocalyptic future stretched on, each one a reminder of his solitude and the fragility of hope.

But as the sun set on the desolate horizon, Five stood up, wiping his tears. He knew he had to keep going, to find a way back to his family. The memories of Y/n, though painful, gave him a sliver of strength. She had represented the love and peace he longed for, and he vowed to find those things again, no matter how long it took.

With a heavy heart, Five continued his journey through the wasteland, the image of Y/n's smile etched in his mind. He would hold onto that memory, using it as a beacon of hope in the darkness, as he searched for a way back to the people he loved.
