(i ran out of five icons)

Five seemed really stressed and sleep-deprived today.

Well, he always seemed to be stressed. Dealing with the people at the Equation Playground made his head spin to actually keep up with everything. As for being sleep-deprived, he ran on 7 cups of coffee a day. What did you expect? But it seemed more prominent today, like he was really going through it.

And that’s where you came in! See, Five loved fish. Like, holy shit every time fish was mentioned he was immediately involved in the conversation. And by involved I mean he was eavesdropping because he didn’t have the energy to include himself in an actual conversation.

Seeing how sad he was, you had decided to buy a really really big fish, dead obviously, and bring it to him like the wonderful friend you are! Or not friend. You didn’t really care. Whenever he first saw it, he went batshit insane. In his head. Too embarrassing to say anything out loud.

“For… me?”

And that’s how this came to be. Five sitting against a tree with you, and… nibbling on the fish’s head as every coherent thought or stress wiped from his brain completely. He was so unbelievably happy, eyes half-lidded (and practically almost closed) with absolute content.
