Trying to find a way to destroy this timeline’s apocalypse was a lot more difficult than the last few times— even for your boyfriend, Five Hargreeves.

Him and his siblings had been used to this, having been going through timeline after timeline to save them, yet never staying. And because of that, he found you. At a bar, in probably the calmest of the timelines. No powers, no danger… just them. At least, for long enough for him to fall in love with you.

Since then, he had brought you along with them. Not to help them, but for a sense of reality. Purpose. He felt different around you, and all of his siblings knew that.

And then it all happened with Lila. On the tube. For 7 years of his life — to him — and yet only a few hours for yourself.

Finally returning to Diego’s house after searching for the right timeline for years… they found it. But they were holding a dark secret. Their secret affair on both parts that neither of them wanted to admit — yet they knew they had to.

Everything was going swell. The smell of Christmas dinner in the oven, Diego and Lila’s children running around the house, and the family all celebrating.

The moment you saw Five, you were out of your seat and in his arms. But you didn’t feel him return the embrace like he usually did… he was tense. More so than usual.
