Five Seconds to Doom (Number Five X Reader)

8 - Safe & Sound

"Why am I here??" You asked. You were seated on the trolly and looks like Five has been pulling you ever since you fainted. It was already afternoon.

"How long was I out?"

"Hmm, 3 hours? I think you got heat stroke. Luckily we had water. Hence the wet clothes."

"You mean you splashed our water on me?"

"Wait, where are the rest of the food supplies?" You asked searching inside the trolly.

"I left some of them so I could put you on the trolly." He answered.

"You realize that's our food til next week, right?" You asked.

"I had to make a choice, Y/N. Do I leave the food or do I leave you?"

"What kind of question is that, Five????"

You facepalmed your self and took a peek at Five.

He was smiling.

That same smile that had you hooked for a long time.

You blushed but you're not supposed to blush right now! You're supposed to blush with anger because he left half of the food just so he can let you ride on the trolly while he pulled it for three hours.

Feeling annoyed because of you blushing, you got off the trolly and stomped away from Five. Your heart suddenly tightened in a good way. This made you smile of course. "He saved me..."

"Y/N! Where are you going??? I thought we just made a promise not to leave each other????" Five shouted as he pulled the trolly and followed you.

The sun was setting. You and Five decided to stay for the night beside the highway.

Five has been trying to create fire for the last thirty minutes.

"Come on, come on, come on!!" He said, frustratingly.

He gave up and threw the rock.

"Unfortunately, the Umbrella Academy didn't had any survival trainings and lessons." He said.

"Why don't we try wood on wood? I saw dad try it once. Just keep this wood between your legs. Hold this stick upright and twist it using your palms." You suggested.

"Do I do it fast or slow?" He asked

"Fast, I guess???" You replied.

In just a few minutes, Five learned how to create fire.

"Maybe in return I could teach you something too?" He asked as he sat on the ground next to you.

You nodded. He pulled a bag beside him and he revealed a set of knives.

"This is number two's." He said.

"Diego?" You asked. "What do you want me to do with it?"

"I'll teach you how to use these."

Your eyes widened. "Wait Five. I"m just thirteen, I'm not supposed to carry things like these around!"

"Y/N, we have to survive. What if you had to use this while I'm out somewhere? You have to find courage stabbing one of these on whatever you have to stab."

You had your mouth opened. "Unbelievable.. Do I really have to? You were the one who said that we're the only ones left in the world."

Five sighed and rolled his eyes. "Y/N, I haven't confirmed that yet. But who knows? Someone might be out there trying to survive too and I'm pretty sure they'll do anything to keep their hands on food."

"This is for your protection." Be added.

Five unsheathed one of the knives and handed it to you.

You were hesitant to take it but in the end you did.

Five has a point. They haven't confirmed anythinh yet. It's better to stay prepared.
