I always thought that the connection between 5 and 2 wasn't really a romance, but more like family. This is just a short fanfic about that connection during the sad scene where they send 2 floating down the drain.

5 gazed with sad eyes upon the sprawled body of 2.

The gentle old stitchpunk was the one who came back for him that day so long ago when he was incapacitated when he lost his eye…

He had taught 5 all he knew about the world around him…

He had inspired 5 with all his inventions….

He was always so kind to everyone…

…and now he's gone.

5 gently placed 2's limp hands so they crossed over his body.

9 had suggested they give him a proper burial.

They brought his body to an old fountain in the library.

They gently laid his hands crossed over his body, in the proper burial position, and let him gently float across the fountain, down a drain.

It brought so much sadness to them all.

5 could feel it….

But he the saddest one there…

2 was his mentor…

His savior…

His inspiration…

His friend…

A father figure…
