✧ THE DAY THAT WAS ✧

˚✧˳✧˚✧˳✧˚✧ ☂️ ✧˚✧˳✧˚✧˳✧˚

(Y/N) Hargreeves

"𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧? You're right... Good luck on Vanya, Allison." A full urge contaminated my brain, an order that I shouldn't go. I suddenly lost interest to go with her. I felt like I didn't care anymore.

"Stay safe, (Y/N)." Surprisingly, she pulled me in a tight hug and planted a kiss on top of my head, almost looking regretful. "I'm sorry..." She mumbles out before gently pushing me away and saying goodbye. "You stay safe too, sis."

"Great, now I have to stay in this lame house." Yes, I know it's an entire square block. Forty-two bedrooms, nineteen bathroom house. Why would I complain?

I've gone on inside head for the shower room to clean myself especially my feet that still reeks of caca water that I failed to do earlier when we arrived back to our timeline. Thinking about everything that has happened, this day has been so bizarre that my mind couldn't even take it all in, in one single breath.

I'm surprised how Five can easily swallow everything like it was nothing to him.

With the commission, the end of the world but deep within his eyes, he's insane. I mean, he fell for a mannequin for fuck's sake.

Slipping into a new set of uniforms I head towards Five's room to check upon him.

"Oh... He's still sleeping." The joy in my tone soon leaves as soon as I saw Five who was still resting.

And with this change, I took the opportunity to snoop around his stuff. There no unusual things he was hiding. It has been ever since the toys and notebooks that he left. I opened one random familiar-looking notebook. This was my handwriting. These were our equations.

I stared in awe at the sight of our ugly handwriting engrave on the notebook. It's the 'P.B.S', the thing we called our equation theory. I flipped the pages and half of them were blank. We never even got to finish it since Five went away.

I found myself on the last page. The words that were written on the back made a teardrop.

'Come back.'

"Aw, why is our little baby (Y/N) crying?"

I twisted my head to see Klaus who clearly just got out of the bathroom after being drenched in rain. He told me he was trying to find for Luther and I said to give the monkey a break.

Klaus has his earphones and records as he dances his way in while I wiped the left out tears in my eye. I was glad to see that he was back to his normal state once again unlike yesterday he looked so not himself.

"So, what happened to you and your boyfriend?" He removes the headphone and takes his seat on the couch. "Long story, we went to Jenkins house, and apparently he didn't tell us he was injured so he lost a lot of blood."

"Oh, Five and his stubbornness. Kinda like you. You know the comparison between the two of you is just surreal." He comments between smiles. "Five? Me? He's hot-tempered and owns a stupidly witty mouth how could I be with someone like him."

"I mean it. I could see both of you together in the future murdering whoever you wanted to." He explained with full sincerity in his voice as his eyes soften. He really did just mean what he said. "Not a nice future to look forward to if you ask me—I mean, I don't like Five."

He raises a brow at my statement. Not having the slightest belief in my false feedback.

"Yeah, okay maybe I do have a small crush on Five," I mumble out bashfully purposely slurring the words enough for him to hear. Admitting it feels like I'm forcing myself to puke.

A smile creeps itself onto his lips, proud that I finally admitted my feelings for Five. "See? You are the OTP! Even a ghost ships you." He chuckles shortly pertaining to Ben.

"What about you, Klaus. What happened to you?"

"Well, you know went into the Vietnam war like the usual."

I looked at him like he was crazy and we ended up laughing and just enjoying our companies. And for the first time in years, it felt like Klaus was a teenager again. He wasn't stoned or drunk or smelled like cigarettes. He's talking like the brother I used to know him of.

"I remember how miserable you were when Five went off... You don't know how lucky you are to have someone like him." Klaus suddenly stopped the gags and stared into nothingness. He quickly dropped the jolly shape he was in and sounded so serious when he said those words. His emotions shifted back into something sad. "Having someone around you, care for you. I miss it."

"But Klaus, your entire family, us, care for you. Why would you say something like that?"

"I was lost for almost a year and I missed you guys a lot. Like A LOT... I know we haven't seen each other for so many years but I don't know after that briefcase incident and time-traveling shit, I couldn't stop thinking about you people. I expected a warm welcome but apparently, it was just everyone scowling and looking like dying hippos."

"We were worried about you, Klaus. Our siblings are just poo brains to show it, dad didn't teach us how to love. And growing up, now I can see how much we all cared for one another and we don't even realize that we're looking out on each other..."

"I just don't get it... But I met someone very special there. And he made me feel important you know?" Klaus rants as he leaned on the back of the couch living water stains above it.

I could see the sadness in his eyes, he almost looked like he was heartbroken. It made me wonder what he did while he was on that certain timeline. And that kind of state looked too familiar, hit a little too close at home. He was just like me. Missing someone.

"His name was Dave." Klaus began.

He told the times he was that boy and how he felt so alive when he was with him. I could hear the pain in his voice, and his eyes were pleading to see him.

"You know I kinda wish our entire family is like Dave. Well not in a sexual way since I liked him—But you get me right? Right?"

"Well, Luther found out about his samples, Diego's friend just died, Allison is worried for her daughter, and Five... He just has a lot on his mind. Everyone is suffering on the inside, they just failed to show you your importance but I assure you, Klaus, you are important to us. We love and care for you, Klaus."

Klaus suddenly sobs, his lips were quivering and his eyes were growing liquid.

"Wait are you crying?!"

"Our little protector is growing up, give me a hug!"

"Klaus, you're wet!—Oh jeez—Okay, whatever."

˚✧˳✧˚✧˳✧˚✧ ☂️ ✧˚✧˳✧˚✧˳✧˚

I said my goodnights to Klaus who was still teary-eyed from what I said.

I was left alone with Five who was still in his bad yet healing condition. The last time I saw Five this relaxed was the time where he was drunk and planted a kiss on my cheek.

Butterflies swarm inside my stomach making a jumpy feeling. I hated that I liked the feeling.

"Oh, Five. The things you do to me." I said lovingly facing the other way, too flustered to even stare at his sleeping figure, it's weird.

"What do I do to you?"

I jolted up as I turned my head to the boy who was yawning and adjusting his eyesight. "Be rude, be mean, and destroy my ego?" I answered hoping that it'll save me from getting exposed.

"Hm. Seems about right." Five nodded in approval as the top of his body aroused. "So, how're you feeling?" I questioned taking a sit on the unoccupied side beside him on his bed.

He winced as a short shot of pain made it's way to his lower side stomach."It still hurts but I can manage."

"I heard you and Klaus and talking."

"W-Wait, you did?"

"How much d-did you hear?"

"Not that much. Just the part where he mentioned how miserable you were when I was gone."

I took a sigh of relief knowing that he didn't hear that one part of me revealing a secret. We soon then snickered at that statement for some messed up reason, maybe we were overwhelmed that we were finally in each other's grasp, or maybe we're just enjoying the time we have together, but I just don't know. Our relationship just works in mysterious ways. I like it. I like him. And I hate that I do.

"Oh, Five you don't even know." I chuckled recalling my 'depressed' days without him. It drove me crazy as heck.

"You don't know too. I almost named Delores after your name." He admitted regretting it immediately after finishing his sentence.

"Wait... Really?" I don't know if I should be happy or mad that he almost named Dorothy after me.

"...I wasn't supposed to say that."

After a moment of silence, I just laughed. Having the thought of him talking to a statue and having my name was a hilarious and a plain out fucked up thought.

I gave off a playful punch with my right as he successfully dodged it. He didn't let go of my now trapped arm. He grabs the wrist and examines it.

Five scoops inside his blouse and pulls out the ring that is attached to a chain and showed it to me, the same one I had before. I wasn't too surprised since I already found out about it before he even told me. "I found this from the future." He explains releasing my hand.

"I actually lost mine at Griddy's, so I'm wearing yours that I found lying around here in your room," I started putting off the accessory and showing the carved name of his. "Where did you find mine?" I asked curiously.

"Uhm— Just somewhere at the collapsed mansion." He explains, hesitating.

I replied nothing to his revelation it's didn't sound true."Anyways, it's getting late I should get going to my room." I felt my eyes being droopy. I was too exhausted to continue the conversation.

"Don't leave." He spoke calmly looking at the window, refusing to make any eye contact as if asking someone to stay was the hardest task he ever had to do.

"What?" I turned my heel as I tilted my head in confusion.

"I said don't leave dipshit."

"Uhm... Okay. But I'm kinda sleepy we still have a 'tomorrow' you know?"

"Sleep with me."

I felt my insides tense up, anxiousness taking over. "What?! Five we're like 16!"

"N-Not that kind of way! Dirty-minded woman, have some shame. I meant to sleep next to me." He crossed his arms and looked at me as if it was simple to give of what he was asking for.

"Why?" I was still dumbfounded.

"Because I said so."

I paused for a moment, thinking if I should agree to sleep on his bed. My thoughts were soon disturbed with his witty remark. "Are you gonna come here or do I have to make you?"

I approached him. "Scoot over," I ordered. He looks at me from top to bottom; I wasn't in my sleeping attire, I wore a brand new uniform; It went off my mind that I actually have PJs. "Pajamas would've been more appropriate don't you think?" He did what he was told and opens the blankets for me to join in beside him. "Too tired to change when you have a big mansion."

We stare at the ceiling silently both of our hands gripping on the blankets rather nervously. The tension became awkward, it wasn't like when we were kids when we had sleepovers. It felt like I was watching a suspense film just by sitting next to him.

"It's comfy..." I disturbed the silence.

"Yeah..." He replied yawning. "You're acting weird." He added still gazing into the old ceiling that spiders occupied with webs.

"Me? Acting weird? You're the one who was acting weird, weirdo." I barked back giving a giggle in the end.

"So... The world is ending in two days, huh?" Five says calmly relaxing his hand as he finished his sentence with a tired sigh.

"Yeah, and just like that we all die..." I stated. I never seem to be like it but I was terrified. I was scared of what will happen next. I'm afraid of what will it be like to die.

I was shivering, I didn't know if I was cold or scared. Countless things that might happen at the end ran through my mind. Five saw me uneasy.

"To be honest, being here with you before the end of the world is not really a bad idea..."

My eyes widen as he admitted that he doesn't entirely hate my existence. It's such a bliss to hear those words that sounded insignificant to be worth paying attention to but notable.

"You know, Five, I—"

I pulled back my words once I saw the virulent boy fast asleep.

I smiled at his state. "Goodnight, you cheesy lil' bitch."
