Not Even Close || Number Five x Fem!Reader

Chapter 15

Suddenly, Luther grabbed Delores and placed her on the other side of the window. "You're not going anywhere." Five immediately pointed the weapon at him, "Put.. her.. down." The venom in his voice was noticeable.

"Put the gun down. You're not killing anyone." Luther declared, "I know she's important to you,  so don't make me do this."

Y/N was still sitting there, dumfounded. More likely, unamused of what was happening. "Are you two seriously gonna argue about one thing that could possibly save the whole world and then threaten each other?" She retorted.

The both of them ignored her as if the situation was a real intense scene. "It's either her or the gun. You decide." Luther said.

Five didn't put the gun down until Luther let go of the mannequin. But Y/N stopped Delores at mid-air. She gave the mannequin to Five and shut the window harshly.

"So we start neglecting the other people in the room now, huh?" The girl assumed. She didn't like it when she was being ignored.

"Oh, please, you only did that because you're falling for hi–"

"If you don't shut up now, I am not having second thoughts of squeezing your bladder until you piss your trousers." Y/N threatened Luther. Five was suspicious but he stuck his attention to Delores.

He can't ever know. The girl thought to herself.

Luther huffed and glared at her before turning his attention back to Five. "I know you're still a good person, Five." He continued, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have risked everything coming back here to save us all. But you're not on your own anymore."

Five remembered that there was another way. But they would have to face a couple of people. "There is one way." He turned to face Luther and Y/N.

"But it's just about impossible."

Luther drove the car in the free way. The whole ride was silent. Nobody has spoken a word. Five was at the passenger seat, Y/N was in the back, and Luther was the one driving.

It gave Five time to think about what Luther was talking about before Y/N shut him up about it. Who was she falling for? Him? It couldn't be him.

Why do I even make a big deal out of it? Five thought to himself.

Suddenly, he heard Y/N scoff at the back. That was when he remembered his thoughts aren't safe around her.

As the girl heard his thoughts, she was confused.. and flustered. Has she really grown a liking for him?

No, get it together, dipshit. Y/N scolded to herself.

By then, they stopped in the middle of the road. He unbuckled the seat belt and sat there with a straight face. He looked at the view beside him and sighed, "You know, I never enjoyed it."

Luther looked at him curiously, "What?"

"The killing." The boy replied, "I mean, I was... I was good at my work, and I... I took pride in it." He trailed out, "But it never gave me pleasure."

Y/N and Luther stayed silent but they were still listening, "I think it was all those years of being alone. Solitude can do funny things with your mind."

"Yeah, well, you were gone for such a long time. I only spent four years on the moon, but that was more than enough." Luther replied, "It's the being alone that breaks you."

Y/N hummed as she got nothing to say. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't bring herself to say anything. She always wondered why is it so hard for her to talk to people when it comes to situations like this. Or why she couldn't relate to the conversation as she's been friends with solitude her whole life.
