End of the world || Five x reader.

Chapter eight.

Y/n's pov

I take a sip out of the cup i had been holding, five was admiring the painting of him that had been held over the mantel. I stared at the painting, i thought about what Pogo said, which quickly dimmed my mood. My thoughts are pushed away once a pair of foot steps interrupt them. I look up to see Vanya. "Nice to know dad didn't forget me." he says, eyes still glued onto the painting. But he swiftly whips his head around, looking over at Vanya. She looks down as she walks up closer. But shortly looks up at five, giving him an un-meaningful glare.

"Read your book, by the way." From what i've seen so far, i assume the others did too. "Found it in a library that was still standing." he turns and looks at me, but looks back away as he walks forward, observing the surroundings. "I thought it was pretty good, all things considered." he says before looking back at her, "Yeah, definitely ballsy." he says lowly, "Giving up the family secrets." I wanted to say something, but i didn't. Although her book was quite a clever idea, she also leaked many things about us. She put most things you could think of there, which i'm sure lead the family to being disappointed in her. Exposing the hidden details within the academy.

"Sure that went over well." he finishes. "They hate me." she replies simply, "Oh, there are worse things that can happen." he replies, i clear my throat. "You mean like what happened to ben." my expression quickly changed due to the sound of his name. I sigh, "Uh-." i quickly stop myself realizing i didn't know what i was going to say. But at that point, both sets of eyes had been set on me. I figured he could tell something was wrong based off my expression. But i shook it off, quickly rising. "I need to use the bathroom, before... you know." i say, glancing at Five. He just nods in return, in which i walk out.

The sound of the door opening filled the silence, everyone was walking out of the door near the back. We were doing some memorial for dad, well his death. I honestly had a bad feeling about this, you could probably guess why. Everyone had black umbrellas along with them as they walked out , well everyone besides Klaus and Luther. It was raining, so it made sense everyone did. Luther had been holding dads ashes. Klaus had an umbrella, but it was see through, and had pink rims. "Did something happen?" mom calls out, the hell? I honestly didn't know if i was the only one, but that seemed extremely suspicious to me. But i don't think i was the only one, the others looked at her with puzzled faces, Five ignored it. "Dad died. Remember?" asks Allison, holding her umbrella up. Moms face quickly saddens, "Oh. Yes, of course." she says, i looked down to my feet. That was strange. "Is mom okay?" Allison asks, Diego quickly jumps in, "Yeah, yeah, she's fine." he defends, she looks back towards the ground with a saddened face still stuck. "She just needs to rest. You know, re charge." he says switching glances from mom to Allison.

Pogo comes walking in, cane in his hand as he holds an umbrella with the other. "Whenever you're ready dear boy." he says, glancing up at luther. He glances to his right, but glances back at everyone. He takes a few steps forward, holding the object. (i don't know what it's called🥲) he removes the lid, and slowly begans pouring it out. Which it all fell in one onto the same spot. I glance over and Klaus makes a face, it was awkward as hell. "Probably would have been better with some wind." he states, lifting the object back up. Well, for me i was holding back a chuckle. It was so awkward it seemed funny to me. Obviously five noticed this because he suddenly kicked my ankle, "Fu-." i cut myself off as i squint my eyes and bite my lip. "Mm." i hum, not the right time. i quickly get back to my place, standing up right. I send a glare to five, but quickly take it back as i realized, removing the silence would've been better with pain than a laugh. I know they'd glare at me more if i had laughed over that.

"Does anyone wish to speak?" Pogo asks, lifting his head up. Nobody says anything, which i respect. I mean, he was a shitty person. Shittier dad if anything: "Very well." he says, placing his cane down. "In all regards, Sir Reginald Hargeeves made me what I am today." he says, rising his head once more. "For that alone, I shall forever be in his debt." he looked down with a saddened expression, "He was my master... and my friend." i suddenly felt sympathy wash over me, i knew how close him and dad were, and i felt bad he lost him so soon. "And i shall miss him very much." he finishes. Everyone was sharing glances, indicating their sympathy. Although we all saw him as horrible growing up, at least he tried. "He leaves behind a complicated legacy-." he suddenly cut off by Diego, "He was a monster." suddenly a dry laugh comes from Klaus. Even though i wanted to laugh, i knew i shouldn't. Even if diego hated him, didn't mean he had to interrupt this. "He was a bad person and a worse father." he pauses, "The worlds better off without him." "Diego." Allison exclaims.

"My name is Number Two. You know why?" "Diego.." i mutter before clearing my throat. He ignored me, "Because our father couldn't be bothered to give us actual names." I sighed at his words, he was causing a scene. "He had mom do it." "Would anyone like something to eat?" Mom asked out of random, "No, it's okay mom." Vanya replies, "Oh, okay." she says smiling. "Look you wanna pay your respects? Go ahead." he pauses again, "But atleast be honest about the kind of man he was." "You should stop taking now." Luther says, Diego gives him a blank expression. "I agree, you're making a big scene." i say, "You know, of all people, you two should be on my side here, Number one and Number Eight." he says, making the last two words loud. "I am warning you." he says with frustration, I just scoff. "After everything he did to you? He had to ship you a million miles away." "Diego stop talking." he he says, "That's how much he couldn't stand the sight of you!" he shouts, hitting at his chest.

Luther quickly grabs his arm, which he retreats quickly: He swings but Diego dodged in time to miss it, they grunt as they throw at each-other, dodging and singing.  "Boys, stop this at once!" Pogo shouts. Klaus begins backing up, but pushes five back with him in which he pushes me back. Five quickly makes a fade and removes his hand off of him. Suddenly, diego screams as he is pushed back, but quickly rises his head. "Come on, big boy!" he exclaims. he attempts to punch him but diego dodged once again, quickly punching his back as he uses it as a balance to lift himself up. "Stop it!" Vanya shouts. I just chuckle, "Well, this might just be the best funeral i've ever been to." i mutter, facing Five who didn't show much expression but disappointment. "Hit him! Hit him!" Klaus shouts, they continue punching and dodging, which Pogo quickly gets sick of. He sighs and scoffs before making his way back inside. But i stay along with Five and Klaus. This is useless, but funny. "Get off me!" diego shouts as he throws one at Luther. I sigh at the sighting. They're finally both away from eachother panting, five scoffs as he nudges at my arm. "We don't have time for this." he says making a face in which he quickly begins walking off, and i follow him. "Come here big boy!" he shouts once more, Luther attempts to hit diego, but he dodged it, except this time Luther hit Bens statue. I gaze at the scene, holy shit. "Oh..." "And there goes ben's statue." i scoff as i enter the house. What an exciting funeral.
