Five Seconds to Doom (Number Five X Reader)

6 - Dying in LA

"Five... can I ask for a favor?" You asked while eating breakfast.

"Sure, go ahead." Five said as he finished eating and drank his water.

"Well... I wish to go home."

"Y/N, I clearly remember telling you that I'm working on that." Five replied.

"What I mean is, I wish to see my house." You clarified.

You smiled at Five, but this wasn't the usual happy smile. It was reserved and gentle.

--

"This is where I live." You told Five.

"Pretty close to mine." Five said, turning his head looking for something.

You approached the house. The roof already collapsed and some of the walls went down. You entered the house. One foot after the other on a pile of rubbish.

A picture caught your eye.

You picked it up and saw your picture printed on a piece of paper that says missing.

Upon seeing the paper, your tears streamed down your face. "Mom.. Dad... are you still looking for me for 17 years? I'm sorry.. I promise to come back to you guys.."

While Five was letting you do your own thing. He saw posters and figurines of him on shelves that was attached to the wall. Five furrowed his eyebrows in disbelief. But he made a chuckle and grinned at looked back at you.

"I see you got taste, Y/N."

--

"So.. are you gonna tell me about the shelves full of figurines and the wall with my face plastered on it?" Five teased you.

You laughed a little but still felt a little sad about your parents.

Both of you were sitting on a perfectly good couch.

"They must've been great parents, huh?" Five asked.

"Yeah. They would always hug and kiss me to make up for the time they were busy." You replied as you rest your back against the couch.

"Lucky you, Y/N. You got good parents. They must be the reason why you want to go back to the present."

You smiled, "You're lucky too! Your father's rich so he doesn't have to work 8 hours a day or something."

Five snickered in disbelief, "You have no idea."

They both smiled at each other.

"I guess the world wouldn't end if it weren't for me. Your parents would still be alive and you would live with them. You will live a happy life." Five said.

"If only I didn't become such an asshole and listened to Dad, we wouldn't be here. I'm sorry if you got dragged into this mess, Y/N."

"Why do you keep on blaming your self, Five? I wouldn't be here if I wasn't in front of the academy and it was my fault that I followed you." You said as you placed your hand on his shoulder.

--

Its been 6 days since you and Five were stuck in the future and things are getting worse around the both of you.

The food and water is alright, but the environment is getting worse. Due to decaying of bodies, they started to smell.

EVERYWHERE.

"We have to get out of here and move somewhere far from these bodies. It's not safe for the both of us." Five declared.

Together with a trolly you prepared the things you needed and immediately left the city.

"How far are we going to walk?" You asked.

"As far as possible, Y/N. It's dangerous to breathe in the fumes from those decaying bodies. I also observed that some of them got incinerated." Five said, pulling the trolly.

"What?" You asked feeling like Five is too far.

"They got caught on fire, Y/N. But this fire was unstoppable. It was quick like lightning that had the powers to eradicate the whole world. It wasn't just because of a normal fire. That could've been stopped by fire fighters. Its also impossible to say a forest fire. It just doesn't make any sense. I would say that countries might have nuked each other, that has the highest possibility but-"

Five turned around and you were gone.

Instead he saw you lying on the ground, unconscious. He quickly ran to you and tried to wake you up. He brushed off your hair and saw how you were sweating.

"Y/N! Are you alright?!"

The sun was high and you were in the middle of nowhere. You fainted and there's no shade to go to. All you guys have is an umbrella that Five attached to the trolly.

Five had to decide.
