[ Five had to wince at that because it sounded way too much like the Commission's weird experiments to create super agents. It makes him wonder how long Steve will live, if the super serum also affected his aging and what sort of troubles that could bring to his relationship with Rey. It might be something she worries about too, because Rey had a tendency to over things about the negatives, so it's worth checking that with her one day. Relationships were so complicated, Five felt exhausted just thinking about all the ways his siblings make their lives more difficult than they had to be with them.
For the longest time, all Five had had was himself. There was Dolores, of course, but she wasn't exactly fitted to provide comforting hugs. So he accepts pretty quickly that yes, he's being comforted by himself and yes, it should be weirder than it feels. And NO, he doesn't even care at this point. No one else is around to see, and if they were, he will tell them to fuck off anyway.
His smile turns a little bit more genuine after the other Five replies and shifts his posture. They still stay close to one another and Five isn't inclined to move. He had forgotten how tiring crying really is, how it leaves you at peace but completely unable to do much more than wish for a flat surface to lie on. The floor of the Library isn't a good choice for that. ]
That would be a good idea. I think...I think we're tired enough to sleep. [ It doesn't mean they have to move immediately. They really look like a mess now and Five waits until their breathing is less labored and their cheeks dry to offers his arm for the jump back home. Exhausted as they are, it's safer if they move together. ] Ready?
From the rest of their siblings too, yup
