CHAPTER FOURTEEN-FIVE: 743

"Life is like a rainbow, you need both the sun and the rain to make its colors appear"

---

"This is my favorite part" old Five said as he preparing and assembling his sniper gun as the radio beside him was playing "The calm before the storm" he said.

Teen Five, Luther and you were standing next to each other looking at old Five.

It was weird watching him set up his rifle, made you feel a little anxious in a way. You didn't trust him for a bit when it comes to teen Five. You feared that old Five would be any second aim the weapon at your Five before you could have any time to react.

Teen Five was breathing heavily as he was sweating and was looking more aggressive. You noticed how he was sweat more and more. He looked like a mad man and sounded like one too.

"Look. The briefcase" teen Five said as his eyes was focused on the briefcase that was just beside old Five "No, don't. You won't be able to get there in time" Luther said "I can grab it" you said "No, I will get there in time. This is our only chance. Beside I think it's best you stay out of this" teen Five said "Okay, if you want to do it the hard way, then I wouldn't stop you" you said.

"Hey, uh, just remind me...what was the final stage of paradox psychosis again?" Luther asked "Homicidal rage" Five answered "Right. That's great" Luther said with a smile but that smile disappeared as fast as it appeared.

Panic and fear shot through you as your Five take a step towards his other self. You knew that this was not the time for him to pull something like that, not when old Five has the rifle. You quick reach out to grab your Five's arm but he shove it off him.

"Five, listen to me...I---" Luther said but Five ignored his brother as he began creeping towards past Five "No. No!" Luther whispered before he looked at you "Aren't you gonna stop him?" he asked "He told me to stay out of this and also I want to see what happens" you said.

But what teen Five didn't know, was that old Five was watching him through the scope of the rifle.

And just as teen Five blinked, old Five also blinked before he appeared behind teen Five.

"Oh...shit" Luther said "Bad idea, shit-heel" older Five said and aimed the rifle at teen Five.

Luther let out a sigh before he walked over to older Five, ripping the rifle out of his hands "Stop it! All right? The both of you" he said as teen Five walked over to them while he itched the back of his head.

"Pull it together. Now, Kennedy is gonna be coming around that corner any minute. Okay? So, everyone, let's just take a deep breath..." Luther said to them before he inhale deeply and exhale.

Older Five inhaled a shaky breath as he itched his neck and teen Five did the same while he glanced at his brother.

"Now, we're all family here, okay? So can we all just try to get alone for a few more minutes?" Luther said.

Teen Five then turned to older Five "You want it?" he asked "Go ahead" older Five said with a hint of happiness in his voice.

"What's that?" Luther asked as he look at teen Five but he kicked him right in his groin causing Luther to groan in pain as he bent over "Shit" he said "Ouch. That gotta hurt" you said before you looked at Luther "You okay?" you asked but he kept gruting "Karma is a bitch" you said while you were trying really hard not to laugh.

"Darling, you stay out of this" teen Five said before fixed his blazer as he looked at his older self "Now..." older Five said "Where were we?" teen Five asked before they started fighting.

Luther was groaning in pain while the two Fives was fighting.

Teen Five had a grip around older Five's throat. But then older Five teleported causing teen Five to teleported as well.

They both appeared again and teen Five threw a punch at older Five while he swung a kick.

But they both blinked before they could hit each other.

Then they appeared again and old Five throw a punch at teen Five, hitting him in the face.

Then they both blinked again before they appeared again and teen Five threw a punch at old Five, hitting him the face before he swung a kick at him.

You could feel the frustration and helplessness inside you. Why couldn't they just stop for one second and think about what was at stake? You wanted to scream, to beg the universe to just take you away from this madness. Everything was unraveling right in front of you, and all you could do was stand there and watch.

Then both Five appeared on each side of Luther "Would you please--"Luther said but got cut off when they both kicked him again causing him to groan in pain again before they both blinked again.

"Hey! I'm getting really sick of this!" Luther said while you couldn't hold it back anymore and started laughing.

In Vanya's head.

Ben walked down some stairs and noticed that he was at the Academy but it was like was under water.

"Vanya?" he called out as he looked around trying to find his sister.

He walked into the living room and spotted a white violin laying on the dinner table.

He looked at the violin and saw that Vanya was inside of it.

Vanya was laying leaning against a pillar when Ben approach her "Vanya?" he asked and she turned to the side. Her breath was trembling as she looked up to see Ben standing in front of her, looking down at her.

"Do you remember me?" he asked as he kneeled down in front of her.

Vanya's breaths was trembling increase as she sat up, her back leaned against the pillar.

"I remember everything" she said before she started whimpered "And I'm doing it again, aren't I?" she asked with tears in her eyes and he looked down in sadness "What's wrong with me?" she asked as she started sobbing "Why can't I control myself like the rest of you guys?" she asked as he sat down on the floor, his leg on crossed.

"It's not too late. You can go back. There's still time" he said "I don't deserve to live. I killed Pogo" she said, sobbing "I almost killed Allison, I hurt Tilly, almost killed her" she said as she let out gasping breaths "I destroyed the world. I'm a monster" she said while sobbing as she looked down.

Ben then moved closer to her "Dad treated you like a bomb before you ever were one" he said as she looked at him "He was...so scared of your power, he never let you use it. Drugged you up, kept you numb for years" he said and grabbed her hand "That's messed up, Vanya" he said and the sound of soft energy pulse was heard as Vanya wrapped her fingers around his fingers.

"No wonder you couldn't control it. Dad couldn't handle your anger. That doesn't mean you can't. And maybe you have a right to be pissed off and sad and messed up, but...it's a shitty world full of shitty people sometimes. You aren't a monster. You're my sister. And right now, our siblings are risking everything out there trying to save you. You aren't alone at the table anymore, Vanya. You can do this" he said and she nodded with a smile.

The sound of gentle whooshing and soft ethereal tinkling was heard as blue light started appearing on Ben and he slowly started turning into small blue light.

Vanya was still holding Ben's hand as she got up but Ben knew what was about to happen, so he just sat still. "Ben, what's happening to you" she asked as she noticed that it look like he was turning into blue light.

Ben let out a sigh as he got up "I can't go back with you" he said "What do you mean?" she asked but he didn't answer as he continued turning to small blue light.

"I'm hurting you, aren't I?" she asked "It's not your fault. I've been holding on as long as I can in here, but..." he said with a sigh as the ethereal tinkling continued.

"You shouldn't have come for me" she said "Vanya...I died 17 years ago. All the rest of this...these years with Klaus..." he said before he looked up with smile.

"It's all been gravy. At least this time I get to say goodbye" he said and she nodded sadly.

"Can I ask you a weird favor?" he asked "Anything" she said "Can you hug me as I go? It's been a long time since--" but he got cut off by her wrapping her arms around him, hugging while crying.

Ben closed his eyes as he lower his head while his arms was wrapped around his sister.

Tears ran down from Vanya's eyes as she was hugging her beloved brother Ben.

"Tell Klaus something for me, will you?" he said and she pulled away to look at him.

They both let out a smile before they hugged again and he whispered something to her while she kept crying as he disappeared, turning into the blue lights that flew up before disappearing.

The Handler was in her office, practice her speech "...'Take this institution to the heights it reached--'" but got cut off when Lila entered the office "My parents didn't die in a robbery" she said as she closed the door.

"They were executed. Kill order 743" Lila said and The Handler turned around to look at her "And I know who did it" Lila said as she stepped closer to The Handler and she held the kill order up so The Handler could see it and The Handler remember the day she signed the kill order.

Lila lowered the paper before taking another step closer to The Handler who took her hand behind her, grabbing a small knife that was laying on the desk.

Lila then leaned her head closer to The Handler "Five killed my family and AJ Carmichael gave the order" she said before she turned around and put the paper on the desk before she sat down on her chair while The Handler let out a sigh as she let go of the knife.

Lila put her feet on the chair as she looked at The Handler with tears in her eyes.

"It was him who made me an orphan" Lila said, her voice trembles "Darling" The Handler said as she walked over to her "Little one...your family is right here" she said as she put her hands on Lila's knees "Yeah" The Handler whispered as Lila did a small nod.

The Handler let out a sigh as she took a step back while Lila let out a sob "I wonder...if that's what Diego was sneaking around here looking for" The Handler said as she was looking out the window before she turned around to look at Lila "Trying to bury the evidence so you'd never find out" she said "What...What're you talking about. Diego doesn't know what Five did" Lila said "Darling, I'm gonna need you to be a titch more clever about this" The Handler said before she took a step towards her "That clown school that Five calls 'Umbrella Academy' it may be full of assholes, but it's not full of fools" she said as she grabbed the paper on the desk before looking at it "They're family. What one knows, they all know" she said "No, no, no, no. I...I was playing Diego, he wasn't playing me" Lila said and The Handler looked at her "Is that why you're crying in my office while he's out roaming free, laughing at you?" she said before she let out a softly scoffs.

"I didn't think he was smart enough to pull this off" Lila said "He isn't...but Five is" The Handler said and Lila looked up at her before The Handler put her finger under Lila's chin "And Diego listens to him and trusts him" she said before she walked around the chair, stopping behind it.

"Five...has been playing puppet master all this time" The Handler said and you see that Lila's face changed into anger "I'd say it's time that we solved this problem..." The Handler said before she put her right hand on Lila's right shoulder and Lila turned around to look at her "Once and for all" The Handler said and Lila nodded.

Lila then got up before she walked over to The Handler, kissing her on the cheek "Don't worry mom, we're gonna kill them all, and I want to kill Natalie in front of Five so he can watch his little girlfriend died, so he know how it feels losing the one he love the most" she said before walking out of the door.

---

The two Fives appeared in front of each other while panting and sweating.

"Getting tired yet?" old Five asked "I can do this all day" teen Five said as he rolled his shoulders.

"Jesus Steve Rogers" you said as you rolled your eyes.

"Guys, this has to stop" Luther said "Eat shit, Ape Man" the two Fives said.

Luther then turned at you "I give up. Please help" he said and you let out a sigh "Fine. But most because I don't want both Five to get hurt" you said "LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS!" teen Five shouted at Luther.

Your eyes glow red before you ran in between the two Fives causing them both to stop.

You then stretched out your arms and with your powers you separates them both away from each other causing both Fives to land on the ground, groaning in pain.

Then you grab the rifle "STOP IT. BOTH OF YOU. I'M TIRED OF YOUR BEHAVIOR!" you shouted "Natalie, do it now. Kill him" older Five said "What?" you asked.

"No. Nat, kill him" teen Five argued as he pointed to his other self.

"Kill him!" older Five yelled "No, kill him!" teen Five yelled.

You watched as the two went back and forth telling you to kill the other.

"Natalie, put down the gun" older Five said as he hold up, holding his hands out towards you like you were a wild animal he needed to calm down.

Luther then grabbed the rifle out of your hands "Hey! Assholes!" he said to them "I'm done listening to you both. I'm in charge now" he said as he pointed the rifle from one Five to another.

"Now, Luther! Shoot him!" older Five shouted "No! Luther, shoot him!" teen Five shouted as they both got up.

"Shoot him!" older Five said "No, Luther, shoot him!" teen Five said "Luther, shoot him!" older Five said "Luther, shoot him!" teen Five said "Now, Luther!" older Five said.

"Shut up or I'm gonna shoot both of you. Luther put the gun down" you said.

Luther went from one to the other, unsure of which Five to point the rifle at.

But then he aimed the rifle at teen Five who started panting as his eyes widened.

"Luther..." teen Five said as his eyes widened "I'm sorry, buddy" Luther said.

But then you went in front of teen Five, so you were between Five and the rifle "LOVE, NO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" teen Five shouted "If you want to shoot my Fivey, you have to shoot me first and you know that I can actually stop a bullet" you said "Darling, what are you doing? Get out of the way" teen Five said. His eyes on you, if he was gonna die he'd go crazy knowing that he didn't kiss you one last time, hold you one last time, tell you that he loved you.

Love...he love you and he wanted to tell you, now more than ever.

Luther looked at you and you nodded which make him put his finger on the trigger.

As Luther was about to pull the trigger he quickly turned, hitting older Five with the rifle, knocking him out.

"You really are not good getting along with anyone, not even yourself" you said as you looked at Five "Only you" he said as he looked at you, his eyes sparkled at you.

"Five there is no time for that. Open the portal, now" you said "Open the portal!" Luther told teen Five "Right" Five said as Luther grabbed the black briefcase while Five turned around before he closed his eyes and he clenched his fist as blue light appeared around them.

The sound of energy churning was heard and a blue portal opened while it was making a crackling noise.

Five was panting heavily as he opened the portal more.

You smiled at the bright blue color, it made you feel comforted, like if you were to be surrounded by it, you would be safe forever, which was why one of your favorite color was bright blue.

---

The force wave had stopped and Vanya looked around before she got up and ran over to Klaus, Allison and Diego that laying on the floor who had come to consciousness.

"Are you okay?" Vanya asked them "Vanya" Allison said "Physically or emotionally?" Klaus asked "You're alive" Diego said and Allison chuckled while Klaus and Diego let out a sigh.

"Did we save the world or what?" Klaus asked "I think so" Allison said "Building's still here" Diego said before he looked at his watch "Kennedy's few minutes away" he said as he got up "I can still save him" he said as he started walking away "No, Diego, wait!" Allison said as she ran after him.

Diego open the blinds on the window so he could look down on the grassy knoll "I still time to stop Dad before Kennedy make his final turn" he said before he started walking away but Allison grabbed his arm "No, no, where are you going?" she asked and Diego turned to her "Look, I saw the explosion. I saw the tapes, Allison. The explosion causes doomsday. You're safe now" he said before he inhaled sharply "He doesn't have to die" he said before he turned around "No, no, Diego--" Allison shouted as he left.

---

Five started panting as he opened the portal more causing it to make a surging noise while the energy started making a crackling noise.

Five grunted and cried out as the portal opened more "Cool" you said.

But then older Five regained back his consciousness and he look at the portal that got bigger while teen Five let out a grunt.

Luther pointed his gun at older Five "Don't even think about it" he said and older Five looked at you who was standing next to teen Five.

"Don't even think about it" Luther said as he aimed the rifle at him.

Older Five was annoyed that he was outsmarted by another version of him, but he was also proud that he was outsmarted by you.

"Into the vortex you go, asshole" teen Five said "Fine!" older Five said as he got up. 

But then suddenly you felt some arms wrapped around you and lifted you off the ground. You looked up to see older Five holding you tight.

"NO" teen Five cried out before his eyes landed on his other self with anger.

"Let her go!" teen Five's voice was sharp with a desperation as he advanced.

"Get any closer or shoot and I'll jump in with her!" older Five threatened, his grip tightening around you. You tried to break free, but his hand was pressed firmly against your chest.

Older Five had realized that you were teen Five's biggest weakness and now he took the chance to use it against his teen self.

"Give me the math. So I don't end up looking like Tiger Beat over here" he said.

"You let Natalie go and stand next to the vortex and I'll tell ya" teen Five said and older Five glanced at the vortex.

"Go!" teen Five shouted and older Five walked over to the vortex "Closer" teen Five said "This is close enough! Now give it to me or I will jump with her" old Five said and teen Five looked at Luther who sent him a nod.

"Five, tell him" Luther said.

"It was a typo" teen Five said "Typo?" older Five asked "We put the decimal in the wrong spot in our proof of the existence of a bound for the number of limit cycles of planar polynomial vector fields of fixed degree. We wrote down five-point-seven. It should be..."

"...Zero-point-five-seven" the two Fives said "Son of a bitch. I knew that didn't look right" old Five said "Now, give me Nat" teen Five said, holding out his hand.

Older Five looked at you causing your eyes to lock and there was the spark in them, that spark that teen Five also saw and now older Five understood why his teen self was so obsessed with you. 

Even so this Five had forgotten who you are, it was like a part of him remember you, it was like looking into your eyes, they seem familiar to him, like he recognizes them from some where.

Older Five let out a sigh before letting go of you and teen Five grab your hand before pulling you towards him and pushing you behind him so you were standing next to Luther while older Five looked back at the vortex "All right...I guess this is it" older Five said "This is it. Go" teen Five said.

"Then why is this girl with us?" older Five asked "You will meet me in 2019. We will find each other, 'cause we are drawn and connected to each other" you said "What is that supposed to mean?" older Five asked "You will find out" teen Five said.

But suddenly a fire extinguisher was throwing through the portal and it hit Luther in the head causing him to fell to the ground while he dropped the rifle.

Older Five looked at the briefcase before running towards it "No" teen Five said as he ran towards the briefcase.

The two Fives both grabbed the briefcase and started pulling it each way while they both grunting.

"FIVE!" Luther shouted and teen Five looked at him "It's shrinking!" Luther said as he pointed at the portal that was getting smaller and smaller.

Teen Five tried to pull the briefcase out of older Five's hands but he wouldn't let go.

"Things happen for a reason. It take its course. You will find me. I promise. I couldn't live without you in any timeline or universe" you said as you looked at older Five while you were helping teen Five pulling the briefcase.

"The small black box in our inner pocket" teen Five whispered so quiet that only older Five could hear it "What?" older Five said as he lost focus for a second.

Then Luther got up and kicked older Five causing teen Five to let go of the briefcase and older Five began to fell backwards, into the portal but you held on to the briefcase which caused you to stumble forward towards the portal.

"No"

But teen Five's arms wrapped around your waist and pulled you back, scared that the momentum would cause you to stumble too far forward and into the portal. He pulled you back causing you both to hit the ground.

Older Five let out a shout as he felled into the portal right before it closed while the briefcase felled to the ground.

"Nat?" Five asked as he looked at you "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" he asked as he help you up "I'm fine Five" you said.

The way you said his name almost made him cry.

Five then hugged you. You were momentarily stunned but quickly found yourself responding to him, your emotions intertwining.

When he pulled away his hands were still on your shoulders "Please don't try anything like that again" his voice breaking.

"I promise" you whispered, your heart swelling with the intensity of the moment.

"We did it" Luther said proudly as the sound of electricity crackling was heard and Five looked down at the briefcase to see it laying on the ground, sliced in half "The briefcase, you idiot" he said as he rolled his eyes "What?" Luther asked as Five let out a sigh.

"Hey, you know what? A thank-you for preserving your existence would be nice" Luther said as he turned to Five "'A thank-you'" Five said.

But then you heard over the radio that the president's car was coming.

"Luther, Nat! Here he comes!" Five said and he took the brown briefcase that was the gun case, before he dragged it across the grass to the corner of the fence and stepped on it, so he could look over the fence while Luther walked over to the fence and you walked over to the fence.

Five grabbed your hand before he pulled you up to stand next to him.

The briefcase was so small that the you had to stand really close, so close that your shoulder was touching each other causing your hearts to beat faster and your bodies became warm, happy and calm as your could feel the other's touch.

You, Luther and Five looked over the fence as you saw the president's car came driving.

Allison, Klaus and Vanya was looking out of the window as they saw the president's car came driving "Kennedy's turning" Allison said.

"Look, there's Dad" Luther said and pointed on a man in a black suit, holding a black umbrella.

"What do we do?" Luther asked "There's Diego" you said as you pointed on Diego who was running across the field. "Uh-oh" Five said as he spotted Diego.

"Oh, shit" Luther said as he also spotted him. "Diego" Five said, "It's happening again" Allison said "Oh, Jackie" Klaus said.

Diego was running towards the man with the black umbrella.

Diego tackled the man to the ground but only to see that it was not Reginald "What?" he said and the man chuckled.

Then the sound of gunshots ring out was heard causing the crowd to scream while running.

"KLIF bulletin, from Dallas, three shots reportedly were fired at the motorcade of President Kennedy today, near the downtown section" the man over the radio said.

Diego then grabbed the man's collar "What the hell is he?" he asked and the man handed Diego a piece of paper.

Diego unfolded the paper to read what it said.

'I TOLD YOU SO'

---

"We better go back" you said as you got down from the briefcase "Yeah, that's a good idea. We need to stay together" Five said as he also got down.

"Come" you said as you walked forward and Luther was about to follow you and Five when he suddenly noticed a small black box on the ground.

"Hey Five!" he called out as he picked it up and Five turned before he turned to face Luther while you kept walking.

"What?" he asked "Is this yours?" he asked as he showed him the small black box.

Five's eyes widened before he got through his inner pockets to feel them empty.

"Shit, it's mine" he said as he took the box from Luther "I must have dropped it in the fight, thank you" he said "What is it?" Luther asked.

"Something I have had since I was 13. And even in all those years where I had no idea why I had it, I couldn't get myself to throw it away and now when I remember again, I now know what I have it" Five explain "What is it?" Luther asked "Something I wanted to give to Nat when we were 13" Five said as he put the box in his inner pocket.

"Wait, is it...?" Luther asked "No, it's not" Five shook his head as he cut Luther off "But close" he said "Then what it is?" Luther asked "Something I'm planning giving it to Nat when we return to 2019" Five said and Luther nodded "Please don't tell her" Five said "I wouldn't say anything" Luther said.

"BOYS ARE YOU COMING!" you called out "COMMING" Five called back before him and Luther walked after you.

---

You, Luther and Five returned back to the apartment.

Five followed after you upstairs to see you standing looking around and he knew you were thinking about Elliott.

Five stayed quiet as he watch you walked around the living room. He wanted to give you a moment.

You walked around the living room, looking at all the scanners, newspapers, files and papers laying around.

"He didn't deserve to die like that" you said "No, he was a good guy, and I never got to thanks him for taken care of you" he said and you turned to look at him.

"I never got to say goodbye" tears started appearing in your eyes as you sat down on the couch.

As you started crying, Five walked over to you before he wrapped his arms around you, bringing your face into his chest as he comfort you.

"I'm glad that I was able to get you back. I can't lose you, Nat" he said softly.

You reached out for his hand and intertwined your fingers with his, rubbing his knuckles softly "You won't lose me" you said.

Five looked at you, his eyes reflecting a mixture of relief and gratitude. He gave you a small, genuine smile and without hesitation, he locked his hand into yours.

For a moment all sounds faded away. It was just you and Five, holding on to each other in a fleeting moment of solace amidst the chaos. You could feel his hand warm and steady in yours, and it was as if the world outside had momentarily pause, leaving only this quiet connection between the two of you.

Five's expression softened and he gave your hand a gentle squeeze.

"Thank you" he said softly "For what?" you asked.

He looked at you for a moment and then without a word, he slowly leaned closer to you making your heart skip a beat. His gaze fixed on yours. His hand gently cupped your jaw and you felt a shiver run down your spine as he leaned in.

His lips met your forehead and you closed your eyes, feeling the warmth and tenderness of his kiss.

When he finally pulled away, a soft, genuine smile spread across his face, revealing his dimples."Thank you for listening," he said.

You couldn't help but smile in return, feeling a rush of affection. The kiss on your forehead had been unexpected, yet it felt right. Like a promise that you were in this together.

Five's eyes softened with empathy and you pulled him into a tight embrace "We'll figure this out. I promise" you said.

As you held each other, you clung to the hope that somehow, you could find a way to bridge the gap between your life here and the future he envisioned. The thought of reconciling your worlds seems daunting, but in that moment, you found solace in his embrace. Hoping for a solution that could bring you two together without sacrificing everything you held dear.

As you and Five held each other, you could feel the tremors of his body and the tension in his grip. His face was pressed against yours, and you could sense the pain and resolve in his touch. Tears streamed down your cheeks as you cupped his face and he mirrored your gesture, his hands gently cradling your face. His voice and breathing was soft but strained as thought the weight of the world was pressing down on him.

"I care a lot about you Nat, I'm so in love with you" his words carry a mix of longing and anguish. Hearing those words was like a balm to your fractured heart. You looked up at him, a shakly smile forming on your lips despite the tears.

"I care a lot about you too Five, and I'm also in love with you" you whispered back. Your voice trembles with emotion.

"But I don't know what loves feels like" he said "Maybe I can teach you" you said.

Your foreheads then touch. It was a kind of touch of passion, fear, and an unspoken farewell. The world around you seems to fade as you lost ourselves in each other, as if this brief escape was all you both had left. It reflected the gravity of your situation, the urgency of your feelings and the depth of your connection.

Five held you close, his embrace tightening as if he were trying to anchor you both in this fleeting moment of solace. You clung to him, closing your eyes and savoring the warmth of his body against yours.

In that embrace, everything felt suspended, your fear, your pain and your hopes. You realized how deeply you and Five had affected each other lives. Despite the chaos and uncertainty, you have both become a vital part of your existence. Your story marked by intense emotions and fleeting moments of beauty, was a beautiful tragedy. It was a poignant reminder of the fragility and intensity of love.

As you held each other, it was clear that your time together, though a brief and marred tragedy, had been profoundly significant. The world outside might have been crumbling, but in each other's arms, there was a fleeting sense of peace and belonging. The apocalypse loomed on the horizon, but for now, the warmth of each other's embrace and the depth of your connection were a beautiful tragedy, a brief but precious escape from the turmoil that awaited you.

It felt good, being in Five's arms, you felt safe and you felt home. He rocked your body back and forth. Holding onto you. Trust was something he struggled with. No doubt about it but it was becoming undeniable for him. He has falling for the intelligent woman. And he was so happy to finally have you back.

"I don't know how much time we'll have left together. Alone. But something big is coming" Five said "I know" you nodded.

"Those not willing to fight for your attention, don't deserve it. Those not willing to fight for your company, don't deserve it. Those not willing to fight for your friendship, don't deserve it, and those not willing to fight for your love, don't deserve it, fight for it and you shall receive, do nothing and receive nothing in return"

A/N: What do you think there is in that small black box?
