Chapter Text
Five did not like emotions, let alone understand them well. Anyone with a lick of intelligence would know that.
Getting stuck in the apocalypse put him through a lot. The grief that came with the end of the world, finding the bodies of his siblings, not being able to return home, and being completely alone was tough to handle. So, in typical Five fashion, he ignored them and fell into survival mode.
Survival was crucial if he even wanted to consider going back to save his family.
He made by with what he was lucky enough to find in the wasteland called Earth. He traveled around in hopes of finding any other survivors, though the idea was highly unlikely.
It took a good three years for Five to find her- a girl that appeared his age. She was like him and his siblings, capable of creating water (and ice by extent) and manipulating it.
Her body had reacted out of instinct and created a barricade of ice around herself, shielding her from harm’s way.
The actual control she had over her powers, however, were weak and tied to her emotions. She was a potential walking danger.
Surprisingly desperate for human interaction, Five convinced her to stay with him and promised that he would find a way to help with her ability.
He quickly found himself getting attached to her and her sweet personality that severely contrasted his own.
She was kind and caring, but she was far from being a pushover. She was good at communicating and seemed to know what to say a majority of the time. She was also incredibly smart, capable of keeping up with and catching on quickly to what he taught to her.
His protectiveness over her grew as they became closer- friends. The word was foreign to Five, but he was glad that she was his first one.
Years passed fast in each other’s company, and so did their relationship.
While it was never spoken on, they both could feel something between the two of them. And when Five returned to her after a long day of searching, she allowed him to slip the modest but beautiful ring onto her left ring finger, and they shared their first of many kisses.
They knew what they were to each other- it didn’t need discussing or traded words. They could read one another flawlessly; they felt like soulmates.
Five regretted accepting the Handler’s offer for many reasons. The main one, though, was for allowing his lover to be dragged into the world of killing as well.
She was so innocent and oblivious to the world of death, and he wished he could’ve kept it that way.
Either way, she took what would come like a champ. She picked up on hand to hand combat quickly and excelled in the control of her powers. Five couldn’t help but be proud of her.
The only good thing that came from the Commission was that their marriage was finally officiated, and they both wore rings on their fingers.
Five stared down at said ring, contemplating his options. He was supposed to be focusing on the case, but he didn’t care.
YN sat close by, acting as a lookout of sorts. She didn’t seem too interested either, choosing to pay more attention to her nails than the task at hand.
Five knew what he wanted to do, but he wasn’t sure what his wife would.
They had talked about it before- going to 2019 to stop the apocalypse- but she didn’t give her opinion on it at the time. He was sure that she knew what he was up to, but she never mentioned it.
“YN,” Five spoke up.
The woman looked at him, her signature patient smile on her face.
“Need something?” she asked.
“Remember how I’ve mentioned going back and stopping the apocalypse?” he asked. With a nod from her, he continued. “I feel… I feel like this is the best opportunity we’re gonna get to go back, and I want you to come with me. Only if you want to, though.”
Leaning over, YN pressed a kiss to the man’s cheek. “Of course, I will.”
Smiling, Five set his gun aside and pulled out his sister’s book. YN watched intently as he skimmed through before tucking it under his arm and holding his hands out.
She watching in amazement as a portal opened in front of them.
YN beamed proudly, gently nudging Five’s arm. “You did it!”
She barely managed to duck under a fire hydrant that flew out from it. She stared back at it oddly.
Five grabbed her hand, and they looked at each other.
“You ready?” he asked.
“As ready as I’ll ever be.”
Hands locked, and lips curled up into smiles, they pushed through together.
