I HEARD A RUMOR

˚✧˳✧˚✧˳✧˚✧ ☂️ ✧˚✧˳✧˚✧˳✧˚

(Y/N) Hargreeves

"FIVE?" I approached the boy, who sat quietly on the edge of his bed with hands tangled and body slightly crouched down. He was deep into his thoughts that he didn't even notice that I was at his side.

He just got out of the shower, hair wet and face moist with a towel draping over his shoulder. With a still-healing wound, he was now good as new.

"Fi—"

"Why would he know anything about the end of the world?" He suddenly stood from his previous position and flared his arm in a sulking manner which made his towel fell. I picked it up with a sigh.

"What makes you say that?" I questioned pushing him back to the bed. In a subtle way, I forced him to sit back down so he could ease his mind a bit.

"He killed himself to make us come back together again as a team, and then Pogo states that we were supposed to save the world then how come he knows that the world is ending. This isn't making any sense." He rebuked looking stressfully confused.

"Us born with powers doesn't make sense either." I snorted while putting the towel on his head and rubbing his hair to absorb the wet particles left.

Five gazed at me like I was the most abnormal thing he saw his whole life. With mouth parted he, it prepared itself for another long length sentences of rage put into words.

He seized my wrist who was wiping his head with a towel as he intensified the look in his eyes.

"How are you so calm about this?"

"With us being a few inches apart or did you mean the end of the world?"

Five then inspects our position. The smug smile on my face came on naturally and it wasn't intentional which pissed off the hard-headed man.

"I mean, yeah sure, the apocalypse. But we're all gonna die someday, at least it would be quicker." I chuckled. I didn't wanna talk about the coming end of the world, it just feels like it's hard to take in. Not discussing it would make it 10 times better.

Five's lip shut tightly as he squinted his eyes. "You know I would love to kill you myself right now, but the end of the world is coming."

I didn't give a reply. For this brief moment of silence, both of us took the opportunity to examine one another's face. Both of our expressions that were boosted in fury soon melted to bliss.

The details on Five's face were the most beautiful things I adored of him. How his freckles were aligned, his eyebrows positioned, and that two moles that defined his chiseled face beside his lip that I always found adorable. 'God, was he always this gorgeous?'
