(charlene learned everybodys names by now)

first thing in the morning, i walk into klaus bursting out of a closet and five yelling at him.

"yeah bye-" i say. both of the boys turn to me. klaus yells out "hey- charlene come back your boyfriend misses you-" i hear a sharp kick. "charlene- come back here!" i groan and turn back around. i walk into the room, sighing at the sight. "yes, old man?" i ask. "come with us will you, I dont trust klaus acting out by himself with me." five says, annoyed. i nod, feeling like i dont have much of a choice. as we walk down the stairs, klaus starts rambling on about our 'backstory' 

"your, mother we met at the disco! she was such a slut." klaus said, high as a kite right now. "what a disturbing glimpse into what you call a brain." five retorted, now annoyed. i couldnt help but laugh.

                                                          ✸

we arrive, up on the top floor of MERITECH, and walk out of the elevator. immediantly, one of the employees tells the secretary to call security. i facepalm. i whisper to five. "five, why are they calling security, already?" i say. "i dropped by yesterday, and it seems i havent made a good impression." he smirks, as he whispers back to me. geez five. i mentally sigh. we head into to one of the staff's office, and klaus starts his 'acting'. 

"what about my consent?" klaus says, heavily. "why did you lay your hands on my children?" 

the man seemed quite in shock now. "why are their bruises on my children?" klaus said, still keeping up the act. "sir, i never layed a hand on your son, and i've never seen your daughter before!" the man cried, trying to plead himself innocent, which, we obviously knew he was.

klaus then turned to five and with a loud thwack punched him in the face, and left a bruise on fives lip, making five scowl at him in silence. he turned to me, and punched my cheek, leaving a purple bump. i rubbed the sore ache; he turned to the guy, who was seriously, pleading for mercy by now. klaus grabbed a snowglobe, sitting on the mans desk and read out what it said on the bottom. "piece on earth, huh. cute!" he then proceeded to smash the globe onto his head. "damn! that hurt like a bitch!" klaus said, while keeping a straight face at the man. "y-your c-crazy!" the man cried out. "you have no idea." klaus said, as he started to laugh. 

the man, picked up his phone, about to announce to everybody outside of his office about us, but the klaus pulled the phone from his hands and announced a whole different story.

"there has been an assault! in this office!" klaus laughed maniacally again. "security, is going to burst through that door any minute now, see a man and his 2 children, violently hurt and were going to tell the, that you harassed us!"

                                                             ✸

the man rushed through the files, looking for the serial code number of whatever five was, so desperately looking for. "w-wait, this cant be possible. the prosthetic your looking for doesnt exist, it hasnt even been made yet." five scowled. klaus leaned in to the mans face. "are you sure?" klaus said. the man, still a bit fearful of us, nodded profusedly trying to prove he was telling the truth. klaus sighed, and got up. "hey five, are we done now? can i have my 20 bucks?" five sighed, and rubbed his temples.

me and five headed back home, and we were greeted with silence and a great big empty house. "nothing out of the ordinary," five said. but to me it just seemed, sad. being alone in a big empty house seems like it would get to you.

the two of us sat down in the living room. i layed there and rested my eyes for what felt like a few moments. but when i open my eyes again, it was dark out already; i felt something heavy on my lap. i looked down, and saw it was five. i put a hand over my face, trying to cover its redness. he was so pretty, sleeping all sound like that. he looked peaceful.
