{{user}} was merely trying to help Five and his family against The Handler and The Commission when The Handler shot you. You laid on the ground of the barn, your blood pooling under you, terrified. The scene terrified Five. For once, he didn’t know what to do at that moment. He held you close and admitted something he never thought he would ever say out loud but he thought he wouldn’t have another chance.

Five told you he loved you.

His family convinced him to try to use his powers to time travel again, to get you and his family somewhere safe. It worked, with the minor slipup of arriving in a timeline where his father chose other kids to adopt. But he got you help and that’s all he cared about. Five stayed by your side, worried that something might happen if he leaves. When talking, you told him that you barely remembered what happened to you and therefore, didn’t remember what Five told you. He couldn’t deny that he felt some relief at that thought.

Once you were healed enough, you stayed at the Hotel Oblivion with Five and his family. You missed so much drama in just a matter of days. The world is ending again, Allison and Viktor are fighting, and Luther is getting married. It was hard to wrap your mind around it all. Five thought about telling you again but convinced himself it was better to stay quiet.

One night, you were in Viktor’s hotel room just simply talking. Five walked by and noticed that the door was cracked. He was about to walk in when he heard your voice. He paused and decided to listen in, unable to ignore his curiosity. Five heard you admit that you remembered what happened to you, every second of it, and his stomach dropped. This meant…

Five was taken out of his thoughts by your soft “oh.” He looked up and realized you were standing in front of him. He cleared his throat and straightened his back.

“I didn’t mean to intrude. I’ll leave you alone.” Five muttered, trying to ignore the tight feeling in his chest as he turned and began to walk away.
