Five Seconds to Doom (Number Five X Reader)

11 - If These Sheets Were States

It's been a year since the so-called jumping backwards.

Still no Five. You weren't allowed to go outside the workplace nor the suite and you did that religously.

All you asked is to see Five.

"This is Five, Sorry Y/N, I can't talk right now. Duty calls." The telephone said on speaker.

You just get a little paranoid when Five's not there. You took off your shoes and coat and went straight to bed.

"What are you thinking, Y/N?!?!" You thought. "You're not even together. Stop being clingy."

You sighed.

The next day you headed to work which was just right next door. It was some sort of portal leading you directly to the workplace. You had no intention of running away so this was an advantage for you.

You sighed.

You sat down and looked at the files on your desk.

"You better start working, Y/N. Staring at those pile of paperwork will get you nowhere. Especially when we had to correct the timeline you just messed up." The Handler said as she walked in.

No matter how much you hate her you just couldn't lay a hand on her. You and Five owe her A LOT.

Everyday, you would do the same boring routine. To the point you thought of going back to the future.

"God, I'm crazy for even thinking about that."

After work you would drink a lot but will still be able to go to work.

Sometimes, you would hear about Five's achievement at work and how everybody is a fan of his.

So what if you had the luxury? All of the compensation the Handler offered? Without Five, everything just became meaningless.

You drank the last drop of alcohol inside the bottle you were holding.

"Everything is just messed up, is it not??" You smiled and rolled on your already messed up bed.

"Five, since when did I start loving you? You're messing me up reaaaaal bad. Delores would not tolerate this. I hate you. We promised not to leave each otheeeer, remember?!??!" You wailed, swinging the bottle you were holding.

"I do remember."

Your eyes went wide open and suddenly you felt sober. You stood up and saw..

"Five! How long have you been standing there??!"

"Not long ago." Five said as he leaned on the doorway and smiled.

"You're back..." You replied, sitting properly on the bed. Though your heart did not jump of joy. Your heart jumped of loneliness. What you said sounded like dismay.

You were still wearing your uniform. A white longsleeves and a pencil skirt that really hugs your hips.

"How have you been?" He asked.

But you just stared at him. There was this tingling and aching feeling in your heart. You sighed not wanting your tears to fall.

What do you say to someone you haven't seen in a year? Especially to someone special.

"I don't know." You answered, when in reality you couldn't say the words of how you really feel.

Five sighed, stood up straight and..

"JESUS!" You shouted as you reached for the pillows on your right side when Five teleported beside you. He smiled at you, reserved. Your eyes widened in realization.

"Your powers are back?!" You yelled sitting upright again.

"Yeah, glad I got them back." He said as he sat beside you. "Since when did you learn how to drink?" Five asked as he reached for the bottle of whiskey sitting on the table beside your bed.

You snickered, "Since you left?" And back to being drunk you were.

"We should celebrate!! You're finally baaack. Do you know how much I've missed you?!"

"Agreed." Five said as he opened the bottle and poured some on a glass.

"So, how's work?" You asked. You sounded like a clingy housewife when you said it.

Five sighed, "Same as always, fixing the timeline."

He chugged down half of the liquior he just poured.

Both of you drank like it was the last day of your lives. You guys were catching up with each other or so Five thought.

He didn't know that this was just fuel to your already burning feelings.

Both of you drank up to 3 bottles of whiskey.
Enough for you to say some crazy shit that you have no courage to say.

"God Five..." You started.

"How could you leave me here all alone?? You don't know how lonely it was without youuuu. I had to eat alone and sleep alone... I always find it pleasing to discover new things with you but you're not there." You continued, shaking his shoulders.

"Who cares if I have aaaaaalll of these luxury when you're not here? You're not beside me, Five. And I missed you so fucking bad." You said as you placed your head on his shoulder and shut your eyes.

This made Five spit his drink. He blinked a few times and looked at you. He gulped the alcohol inside his mouth. Unsure of what to do, what to say, and how to react, he stared at you.

It was the first time he took a good look on your face. He gazed at your long eyelashes that touched your cheek. His gaze went down to your lips. He gulped as your lips glistened under the light.

You reeked of alcohol. Though it looks like Five didn't mind, he swears he could smell a bit of your natural scent.

There was a strange feeling that came over Five and he likes to discovers such things. Things that are difficult to understand.

But things like these takes a lot of time.

"You take a lot of time, Y/N and I don't have a lot of time on my hands right now."
