~~~~~~~~Previously on Eight being a mood 🎶 ...
The knife drew blood down our forearms. Without hesitation, dug through our arms to find a pill like tracking device. While exiting we dropped those little shits down the sewer. "Dang, my jacket has blood on it."
I laughed at her humor in this situation."Your something else..." I replied.

"What's that suppose to mean?"
"Nothing really, you've just always been different." Five said looking straight ahead.
"Elaborate please? You do know we haven't properly talked since we arrived?" I stopped walking."What do you want to hear?" Five turned to death glare me.
"I guess nothing," I stepped closer until our faces were inches apart. Then I turned away.
"You see Y/N this is why we can't have nice things."
"You love me," I hummed. Five didn't reply instead shook his head and continued to walk. I contemplated on the fact that I could read minds, 'should I really invade his privacy like that though'
'Yeah why not?'
I ran back up to Five and concentrated.'Yeah Eight I do love you, but you can be so dense sometimes. Also you think she's gonna kiss you again, after what 42 years you've been together. But no, we have to be difficult-"
"What the fuck-" I whispered
"What?" Five said.
"Nothing!" I shouted defensively.
Five looked at me for a few seconds, confused, then brushed it off. "Where are we going by the way?""Vanya's." He pointed up at a window on an apartment building.

Fives POV
"Guess were early, a good surprise would be nice."
"A bit dramatic but I'll allow it," Eight said walking around Vanya's little apartment. I took a seat and looked at my recent laceration. 'I need bandages' I heard footsteps, then all the lights shut off. The door squeaked, then a bang. The bang was nothing alarming because it was Y/N foot getting jammed by the coffee table.
"Well that happened rather quickly," I clicked the lamp that was above me, and my eyes were met with a rather concerned Vanya. "Jesus!"
"You should have locks on your windows""I live on the second floor..."
"Rapists can climb." I replied
"You guys are so weird."
I looked over at Eight and she was already involved with a new book.Vanya took a seat on the couch beside me and observed our presence. "Is that blood?"
"No it's ketchup," Y/N looked up from her book with a still emotion.
"Okay, why are you guys here."
"We've decided you are the only one we can trust."
"Why?"
"Because your ordinary...because you'll listen"
Vanya left her seat to gather medical supplies to fix Y/N and I's cuts. When she came back I signaled that she starts with eight first. Y/N lifted her sleeve and Vanya quickly got to patching her up.
"When we jumped forward and got stuck in the future, you know what we found?"
"No" she said still rubbing Cotten over Eight's arm
"Nothing, absolutely nothing. As far as I could tell Y/N and I were the last people alive. I never figured out what killed the human race. But we did find something else, the day it happens."
"Since there was two of you why didn't you just repopulate?"
"Are you serious? 7 billion people deleted and you expect two people to bring them back? Besides there's no Sex Ed in the apocalypse." Eight replied laughing.
I shook my head in disbelief and continued my speech. "The world ends in eight days, and we have no idea how to stop it." I gave Vanya a few seconds to retain the shocking information.
"I'll put on a pot of coffee"
