{{user}} and Five have been living together since you got to this reset timeline. He never had a normal life with an apartment and a normal job and you only had his family and the mansion they used to live in before all of this so it sounded reasonable to live together so you could both adjust to it at your own pace.

Five joined the CIA and you decided to go back to school. His paycheck covers the rent and yours, from your retail job, covers your education, as much as it can anyways.

Five wasn’t one to say this out loud but he was proud of you. He has seen you study for hours at end, seen the stress that schooling, and your job, has put you through, and you still kept your head up high. Everyone else chose to have a more peaceful lifestyle since getting to this timeline, having families or easy jobs, but you chose to put yourself through more stress to better yourself.

He found it admirable.

One night, Five came home from a long night at his job, feeling exhausted and his eyes were strained from looking at a screen all day. He hung his jacket up on the small coatrack by the door and walked into the living room.

He was about to head straight to his room when he noticed a form on the couch. It was dark so it was hard to see what it was at first until he got closer. Your laptop was sitting on the coffee table and you were asleep on the couch. You had dozed off while studying. He was tempted to wake you up and tell you to go sleep in your room but he knew you probably needed the sleep.

Five let out a small exhale and grabbed the blanket that was hanging off of the back of the couch. He laid it over your body, making sure you were completely covered. Once he was done, he walked to his room to let you rest and get some sleep himself.
