alright, since I’m 100% pro Sparrow Ben x Klaus, I’ll make my case
no one asked, but, hey, who cares?
First of all, it is stabilished in season one that these “siblings” did at times had romantic relationships with one another since they were raised as in some kind of institution, not as a family. If you’re gonna yell at me, call me names whatsoever, you shouldn’t be watching this show at all. 
Second, again about the “incest” thing, when they find out Lila is one of the october 1st children, they say “she’s one of them” and that they can be her family since the handler is a terrible person and would kill her. Is Diego and Lila’s relationship incestuous? nop :)
and Third, sparrow Ben, just like Lila (who is in a romantic relationsip with Diego), did NOT grow up with the main characters. He’s known them for what, a week? more or less, yeah. He does not see any of them as siblings.
And although most the umbrellas are like “nyaah I wanna look at your face cuz you look like our brother :3″, you know who is the only one who doesn’t do that after realising he is not the old Ben? YOU GUESSED RIGHT, KLAUS!
My Fourth point is that Klaus know his brother Ben is gone and says that with all it’s words in the second episode. “Ben is gone”, and that’s one of the main reasons he decides to look for his mother, because he never had a place for him, only by Ben’s side and now he is feeling alone. Klaus DOES NOT see Ben2 as his brother at all.
(I’m personally not into shiping Ben6 with Klaus, but I respect who is, as you can read why in my first point)
Now we have another thing from the show to back up my “there’s nothing wrong with shipping them”: After in season one Luther having a thing with Allison, who he grew up with, now he’ going out and GETTING MARRIED TO one Hargreeves. He’s literally marrying Ben’s sister and that’s not a big deal. It’s fast and kinda dumb? yeah, but it’s super in character and they both just hit it of so well.
Then why there are people in this fandom saying it’s wrong to ship Klaus and Ben2? Their relationship is the same as Luther ans Sloane’s!
I call it: H O M O P H O B I A
When straight people can do something but if gays do the same it’s wrong there’s NO OTHER NAME for it. And if you feel its sickening shiping Klaus and Ben2, you should feel sick about both of Luther’s romances ans just leave the fandom and the show behind lol
Now I’ll go back to defending my couple because that’s what I’m here for <3 (and if i can make you guys see how much of assholes you’ve been by shaming people’s ships, thats a bonus)
We all know that Ben is starved for recognition and being valuable and all that. And we also know he is some kind of Tsundere. But I need you to focus.
Been wants to be seen. And I’m sure he feels weird when these six people appear at his living room out of nowhere and look at him with loving eyes not even his own sibling have shown him. and when he understands he is the spitten image of someone they love, he gets pissed.
Those people want to look at him, not know him. They don’t really care about who he is as a person, they see him as a ghost. He’s there, but they’re not looking at him.
When he meets Klaus again, only at the wedding episode, Klaus doesn’t look at him as a pictureframe. Klaus finally tells him something about Ben6 and gives him support, for he is feeling lonely. And Klaus understands about lonely, that’s why he is a fucking supportive person to those around him. Just this season, he defends Lila from beeing left out, he tells Five he’s a good brother, he gives love and attention to Reginald, he looks after Stan ans listen to him. Klaus is this kind of person so we know that when he gives Ben attention, he’s not doing it because he looks like Ben6, he knows they aren’t the same person, he just wants to help.
Also, Klaus is also the only unbrella who only talks about Ben6 to Ben2 after he asks him, all the others throw comparrisons here and there.
And I believe this is the main reason they have a good time together at the wedding. Becausa Klaus treats Ben as his own person, not as Ben6′s ghost. He is not dancing with his dead brother, He’s dancing with this asshole who just showed him that he wants to be loved somehow.
You see how they’re friendly with each other, how Klaus is guiding him to be close to the others. Ben2 is not stupid, he can see that these idiots have so much love between them in a way he never could share with his powerfull “family”. We can see how he and Klaus are touchy, phisical.
Another point before I go on that I feel the NEED to point out is the fact that sparrow Ben is queer coded. The way he dresses, the way he speaks, the way he stands... He is like a “mean girl gay”. Like, the first thing he says to Klaus is a ironic compliment to his hat. And his last line in the show is “I’M OUT, BITCHES!” 
Ben2 is a queer man.
And after all that “arm in arm, Klaus laying on his lap” scene, the nex time we’ll see them after they left together is when they wake up. one on top of the other lol.
They’re not sleeping together? no, but look at the semiotics of this scene with me for a second: Ben wakes up laying on top of a pool table. He is shirtless and the first thing he looks for Klaus. Klaus is laying beneath the said table, on the floor, wearing a coat that is not his (that matches Ben’s pants) and his underwear, nothing else.
If you’ve never read some BL comics in your live, lemme tell you this: many many times when men are fucking, specially in corean BL comics, the man who tops fucks the other while wearing only his pants. And usually when this happens, the bottom is wearing only his shirt or coat. Can you see where I’m getting at?
And when they wake up, they are really friendly with each other, even Ben is smiling and being sweet UNTIL, pay attention, until Klaus does the dick move of telling him he knew Ben2 had something of Ben6 in him. Ben2 gets pissed and leaves.
Later, when Luther is talking to Five, Five says “everyone was boning everyone last night”. What means more than a couple was fucking. Alright, the married couple, who else? Crazy Allison? Sad Viktor? Five, who has a childs body? Reginald? That guy from the lobby? none of those had a person to fuck and Luther knew that. “Ben hooked up with someone?” and that someone could only be Klaus. (I admit I forgot about Lila and Diego, sorry, but my point stands for the way Five said it, it was not just the usual amount of fucking. It was more)
When we see them together again, They’re sitting at the same chair/couch/wathever is the name of that thing. Klaus is leaning agains the middle part towards Ben and is in a confortable position we havent seen him doing close to Ben2. He tries to make eye contact some times, he shakes his legs in front of him. Ben is giving him the back. It’s still the lingering of the previous scene.
and that elevator scene? It’s short, but you can see the same “please forgive me, love” we’ve seen whyle Regiland is talking about the cave. It’s not that Ben dislikes Klaus, he is hurt. And for a second he is also hurt when he hears of Klaus’ death, but he’s just not built for feeling.
Then he has this argument with Sloane where we can see he is jealous of her finding a place where she belongs to. Ben and Klaus both long for belonging. (and in this episode both are not feeling it, they both don’t wanna do what they’re suposed to do and have one of the newlyweds fight them for it)
And when he learns dad killed Klaus he goes off. He is between his father and Klaus, who is HOLDING HIS FUCKING RIGHT HAND OVER HIS LEFT CHEST. It’s the final straw. 
And till the end of the series we are always shown their reactions: one’s after the other’s. Klaus wakes from the dead again, Ben get’s up. Klaus steps on the star, Ben is the next to do so.
Ben leaves as soon as Klaus leaves after Luther.
You can disagree about the romantic thing if you don’t ship them, but you must agree 1 Klaus is already dear to Ben2 and 2 It’s plausible and OK to ship them
(also, their ship number is 42 which means they’re the answer to the question)

– 𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐋𝐄𝐒 || 𝐛𝐞𝐧 + 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜!𝐤𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐬
SUMMARY: The thing about Klaus Hargeeves and the titles he had was that, for all the bad and bloodied ones he’d accumulated over his weirdly-long-but-should-have-been-shorter lifetime– nothing hurt more than becoming a stranger. PAIRINGS: Klaus x Reader (Platonic), Sparrow!Reader x Sparrow!Ben (Romance), Past!Reader x Umbrella!Ben (Romance), Klaus x Reader x Ben TAGS/WARNINGS: angst ; romance
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Klaus Hargeeves had accumulated more than his fair share of titles over the course of his weirdly-long-but-should-have-been-shorter lifetime.
Before the first Apocalypse, he’d been Klaus: Number Four. The Séance. Family fuck-up and resident weirdo.
When he’d ended up smack-dab in the middle of the Vietnam war, the list only grew from there: Private Hargreeves. Soldier. Murderer.
The titles were no less bloody than his first few, and maybe if he’d saved Dave the additions might’ve been an easier pill to swallow.
But Klaus lost Dave anyway and though he wasn’t into the swallowing business nowadays (of pills, that is), the dog tags he wore beneath his torn shirt were a bitter reminder that death and misery would follow him always.
Even after leaving The Umbrella Academy. 
When he and his family failed to save the world the first time (which, according to a very snappish Five, was not technically the first time; very tensed up man-child, mind you)–Klaus, as always, did what he did best.
He accepted the cards he’d been dealt with, and he settled.
And for the most part, things were okay. Delightful, even.
Amongst his Cult, he’d been a Messiah. God. 
As if God wasn’t already fucked up for putting him through all the shit he’d been through, Klaus accepted the monicker with a grain of salt and revelled in the false sense of security it gave him.
So long as he was God, nothing would touch him or his people. 
Because, for all that Klaus was unlucky, for all that he was unfortunate when it came to too-bloody-titles and titles that were false in every way, somehow he’d ended up in 1960 with not only Ben, but with you, too. 
From 1960 to 1962, the years you shared together–you, consoling him first after an argument with Ben before astral projecting yourself between worlds to coax your boyfriend back; Ben, always disagreeing with anything to do with Destiny’s Children until you’d concede sweetly in turn; and him, teasing Ben mercilessly for making him a third-wheel but purposely making him more tangible so his love-struck brother could rest his head above your heart–reminded Klaus of the only good titles he had alongside his name. 
To the world (old and new), Klaus Hargreeves was known as many things.  Weird things. Bloody things. But to Ben, his Benirrino, Klaus was his brother. 
He could be overwhelming to a fault, he knew, but Ben–angry, bitter and emo Benny boy– loved him all the same. And Klaus would’ve died a happy bastard knowing he had at least one sibling with him 60 years in the past. 
With you, [N/N], Klaus didn’t quite know why you’d stuck with him after Ben had died in the original timeline. Until the epiphany came to him between nights you sought each other to grieve and days you went looking for a new high that he’d never had a best-friend before.
He might’ve been responsible for half the stress you were constantly under, but you had accepted him anyways and always in the ways that mattered and for that, Klaus would make do with a sappy Ben if it meant having you there with him, too.  
After two glorious years of just being Ben’s playful brother and [Y/N]’s chaotic best-friend, Klaus thought he could well and truly live if he only ever had to answer to these two titles.
And then, Five re-appeared.
The rest of his family, too. 
And suddenly, the world was back on a timer. 
Klaus had to be Number Four again. Had to be The Séance, the Soldier.
If they wanted an edge over the Temps Time Commission, he had to bring out the whole shabam and play into everything Daddy-dearest ever wanted of him in order to do anything and return to a timeline where he was all these shitty titles (some shameful, some not) and then some.  
And while he could’ve done it, could’ve accepted the bitter reality-check like the good little Solider that he was–it became a little harder for Klaus to just settle with the cards he’d been dealt with when Ben dies saving Viktor. 
It becomes even worse when, just as the two of you are almost out, almost back-in-your-original timeline, you decide to shield Allison during a barrage of gunfire. 
Klaus had seen you first amidst the chaos–eyes wide, hands trembling–and had cheered in a moment of drunken stupor before Five called your name.  Had called for you as though he couldn’t see you even though you were standing right there...
He barely manages to process what’s happened and the fact he’s lost his brother and best-friend all in one sweep (He sees Dave in the distance, and blood roars in his ears) before Viktor’s at his side, gently holding onto his hand with the echo of grief in his eyes as Five opens the briefcase. 
The last image he sees of 1962 is the small, sad, smile of your apparition as he falls forward in time and into a world that spits at everything he ever was. 
Because there, in 2019, is Ben. 
Alive. Breathing. Whole. 
“Dad, who are these assholes?” his brother’s voice echoes through the long room, Klaus’ stomach lurching as Ben considers them without a hint of recognition. 
His heart swells and the breaks again because with that question, his brother dies again.
“Come on Ben, play nice...” To the collective surprise and horror mounting amongst his family, your gentle voice cuts through the air as you step out from behind his brother to place a hand on his shoulder. 
Flushed and lively despite being dead only a few moments prior–he’s not the only one disoriented seeing you in front of them. 
“But he does have a point,” you continue onward, uncaring of the sharp breath Allison takes (your blood is still splattered on her face) or the way Diego’s eyes dart between you and Ben; side by side, even in another life.
“Who are you and why are you here?”

tua season 2 slight au where klaus makes ben visible to others and the second he’s got him corporeal - interactable and visible, that’s how he keeps ben 
and, let’s be real, for all we say that ben’s the sensible one - theyre two halves of a whole idiot
so, anyway,
klaus is knees deep in rich ppl society and sometimes he makes ben visible
right?
and the thing is
klaus sees ghosts like he sees ppl but other ppl see ghosts like theyre blue and translucent
and thats how ben appears at first
but the more klaus works on his powers and ben gets less glowy- theres still a faint glow, but its easy to think of it as a trick of the light unless you know what to look for
but klaus doesn’t realize that ben initially shows up blue and translucent he’s just trying to see how much he can do with his powers in regards to ben - how long can he keep him visible ? can he be visible but still untouchable ? can he interact with the living world but not be visible ? can he change his clothes ? can he change his hair ? etc etc
the less blue thing is just a side effect neither klaus nor ben notice
but ya know who notices ?
klaus’ cult
klaus’ cult who are convinced that klaus is a prophet and ben’s a god
and klaus and ben are completely unaware
i think itd be even funnier if neither realized that they had started a cult for a long while until someone approached them and referred to klaus as prophet
and even then they dont realize ben’s role 
ben thinks everyone avoids him because he’s just klaus’ brother but hes not the “prophet”
on the other hand, every one avoids “god” because he only talks to the prophet
minds are fucking blown when klaus calls him his brother btw

Part of me would love for Umbrella!Ben to come back but I just know my heart would break for Sparrow!Ben, who would feel so jealous and hurt over Klaus and the others being excited about his return that he’d push them away to stop himself from getting hurt

4, 5, and 6
We all know how great the childhood dynamic of Ben, Five and Viktor (that we all unanimously agreed on) is but may I interest you in another dynamic. Klaus, Five, and Ben.
Now Five and Ben share a brain cell but when they’re together only one of them has the brain cell, and either Five joins Klaus in being a chaos gremlin, or Ben is winding up Klaus to tease Five. This trio would sneak out to Griddy’s frequently and while Five and Klaus talked shit Ben would make sure that they made it back in time, that they left a tip or whatever.
Klaus and Ben had a more fundamental understanding of one another due to similar trauma that their special training has but they’d always meet in Fives’ room for extra comfort. Whether that is sitting in silence and watching Five write math equations or if that’s listening to Five read to them. Sometimes they just have a cuddle puddle not that Five would ever admit to it.
Sometimes during those special trainings Five would spatial jump and come comfort Klaus or Ben depending on if Reginald wasn’t there with them. Whereas Klaus would distract Five from overworking himself with his equations and wanting to time travel by getting him involved with his pranks and antics. While Ben would make sure Five is taking care of himself.
Five and Ben were the only ones in the family to understand Klaus’s fear of ghosts. Klaus and Five were the only ones who knew the extent of the situation with Ben’s power. Klaus and Ben were the only ones who knew and understood why Five so desperately wanted to time travel.
When Klaus took to drugs, Ben and Five did their damn well best to prevent him from going to the really hard stuff, for a while it worked, that is until Five disappears, Ben dies, and weed doesn’t cut it anymore.
When Five disappeared, Ben was the only one to believe Klaus that Five wasn’t dead, as he wasn’t able to summon him. Everyone else simply blamed it on Klaus being high. Likewise when Ben died, when Five came back he was the only one to believe that Klaus could see Ben. (even though that is his power)
Thank you for reading my headcanon(s)! Part two maybe?

Okay but why is no-one talking about how absolutely delighted Klaus looks to see Ben again </3 :')
Tumblr media
I just imagine him thinking that their Ben was back, that somehow the time jump prevented or reversed his death. That his best friend wasn't gone after all. Of course, this would probably be the rest of the siblings' first thought too, but they're too busy being shocked just to see Ben alive. Klaus got straight past the shock-phase and immediately turned to relief and happiness.
Until the realization slowly sets in...

I don't think seeing Sparrow!Ben and Umbrella!Klaus was supposed to make me tear up, but goddamn it I missed the boys together...
Even if it was just in Diego's head, just some crazy acid trip of a scene... They were happy.

I wish you would write a fic where... Klaus either begins mourning Umbrella Ben and the silence he's left behind, or Klaus thinking about and comparing the two Bens? I love angst and gallows humor lol
Sucker punch
A Klaus Hargreeves minific
Tumblr media
A/N: This was a lot of fun to write. Really got the, ahem, juices flowing. Angst in abundance here. Thanks so much for the request @hucklebunny, you’re a star. ❤️❤️
Warnings: None
Words: ~600
He orders a vodka but when Chet places his drink on the bar, it’s accompanied by a makeshift cold compress - a handful of ice wrapped in a restaurant napkin.
“For your face,” Chet says, gesturing at Klaus’ fat lip, which feels like it’s becoming fatter by the minute.
Klaus’ fingers seek out the flesh; swollen and slightly more tenderised than before. Not the first time Ben has socked him in the mouth, but certainly the hardest. When did that asshole learn how to throw a punch?
“Thanks. Put it on my tab will you, Chet, my good man?”
Klaus tips the brim of his hat at the old fart who seems to serve every function in this hotel: bartender, receptionist, bellboy. Marriage counsellor. Keeper of secrets. Turner of blind eyes.
Chet treats Klaus to a half-eyeroll and then slinks away to tend to his lobsters in their tank behind the bar.
Future Klaus will have to worry about closing that tab. Present Klaus will press this ice pack against his maxilla and attempt to drown his sorrows until that time comes.
Perhaps it wouldn’t hurt so much if it had come from someone else. The big guy maybe, or the one with the birds. But it was Ben who had hit him. His Ben. A new, grumpier Ben with a chip on his shoulder and a cool facial scar.
But it was still Ben.
Wasn’t it?
Okay, so maybe Klaus had been a little over-excited to see him. But can anyone blame him? Klaus thought he was dead.
Well, he was dead, previously. But really dead this time - dead and gone. Poof. Into the ether, never to be seen again.
How was Klaus supposed to know his own brother wouldn’t remember him? Him, Klaus - the one whose every waking moment Ben has spent the last 16 years haunting?
Maybe you’re not as memorable as you think you are.
That’s what he would say, if he were here. Or, if not that, some other jibe or sarcastic aside.
God, how Klaus misses that miserable little bastard.
Klaus can barely remember a time when Ben wasn’t just there; following him around, providing unwelcome commentary on everything he did.
Klaus, don’t do that. Klaus, don’t sneak ketamine into rehab. Klaus, don’t set the church on fire. Klaus, don’t drive a golf cart through a Walmart window.
A fat lot of good any of that did. Klaus did all those things and more with Ben looking on with that trademark shake of his judgemental little head.
God, how Klaus misses that shaking head.
That sanctimonious flick of his eyes.
That huffy sound he used to make when he was really frustrated.
Klaus takes a sip of his drink and winces at the sharp pain in his face.
No. That was not his Ben back there. That was someone else. Some imposter or apparition. A freaky funhouse mirror version of Ben with a pissy attitude and a bad haircut.
And that was not his father proffering Dutch butter cookies in a blue tin, either. Reginald Hargreeves’ tins contained only knuckle dusters and pliers for removing teeth. And he never shared shit with anyone, not even the answers to the most fundamental of questions.
And if Dad is not Dad and Ben is not Ben, then what else is different? Who else is reflected in those wavy mirrors? What other possibilities does this new timeline hold?
His mind wanders. A semi-formed thought drips from his ear and snakes across the bar. It makes a trail to the floor and extends a long, pointed finger under Klaus’ barstool. And with it, it taps him - tap-tap-tap - on the heel of his boot.
“Time to stop moping, cowboy,” says Diego, landing a heavy palm on Klaus’ shoulder. “Luther got Chinese, do you want some?”
“Moo shu pork?” Klaus asks, hopeful.
Diego nods. “Yeah, we got you moo shu.”
Klaus raises his fists in a “Yay!” and jumps down from the bar.
The boot can wait. For now.
All these time travel shenanigans have given him quite the appetite.

Ok, I've always treated Horrance as a headcanon, but, DAMN, hear me out.
And I'm not even talking about Sparrow Ben, ok? I'm 100% talking about Umbrella Ben and his dear brother Klaus.
Ya'll must be tired of me talking about how Benny boy got visibly upset when Klaus was talking about Dave, even getting to the point of leaving to let him gossip about the guy with Diego in peace.
Or you'll say there's nothing to it when I bring up that time Ben told Klaus that "Luther" would do anything for him, when in reality Ben was talking about himself. (Luther didn't even notice Klaus died) And how that whole thing was a way for Ben to try and keep Klaus sober for longer.
I mean, we all agree they talk to each other as a mixture of brothers AND an old couple that is so fucking tired of their bulshit, but wouldn't change a thing.
And there's that whole thing about Klaus lying about Ben's presence simply because he didn't want to share him.
But as I was watching the second season this time, I picked at some things.
The other day I read someone calling Ben's crush on Jill pointless and, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I disagree. Ben wanting to stay at their cult to hang around her is him mirroring Klaus wanting to leave to be around Dave. Think how nonsense those two are: Klaus is the one who fits being a cult leader and Ben is the one who'd say he's taking advantage of people. But Klaus hates it in there and Ben is the whole reason the cult was able to be built.
Klaus AND Ben knows that it would be better for Jill and Dave if they don't follow what they're currently doing. But Ben doesn't want Jill to leave, selfishly. And Klaus doesn't want Dave to leave, selfishlessly. Which is ridiculous, if you think about how Klaus is mostly the selfish one and Ben is the opposite.
Jill is a lot like Klaus. She's a dissappointment to her family, she uses drugs, she is very open about sex...
Dave, on the other hand, is a lot like Ben. He's serious, he's well mannered, he's thoughtful. He follows his family's ideals in a way that leads him to death... And he likes books, like the nerd he is.
OH, you say, but Jill likes reading too. Ben likes watching her read.
And that's true, yes, but we also know, from season 1, that Klaus and Ben read together. Even when we first see them in 1963, Ben calls Klaus over for him to look at a magazine. It's funny, because Klaus is paying more attention to the guy on the cover, but if you think about this reaction, you get that Ben pointing out what Klaus should grab for them to read is something they're used to. Just like he asks Ben what they should eat.
Ben took notice of Jill because Klaus was too busy with new paople and he was left to the side. Klaus fell for Dave because Ben was not there to occupy his own place.
The cult is their baby and thats one of the reasons Ben is so angry when Klaus goes after baby Dave. The other reason is jealousy, which is the same reason he keeps on interrupting Klaus.
BUT OK, If you've been following my posts for a while, you must've seen me saying these at some point.
The thing I DIDN'T notice was how much they go about dicks and sex? like, FOR WHAT REASON, MAN?
First of all, when Ben steals Klaus' body in that dinner with Reginald, Klaus says with all his words that he was violated.
Then, when he decides to lend Ben the body, he shares his ground rules. "No touchy-touchy down there." he says as Ben rolls his eyes. "I mean, I guess I wouldn't mind." He corrects. "Just don't look, because I'm shy."
The first thing Ben does when he gets inside the body is to look inside Klaus' pants.
Later, when they're talking about the experience (and I must say the way Ben asks how Klaus felt sounds almost like pillowtalk) , Klaus says if felt like sex in a way that is pretty dismissive, I agree, but he says that whatching Ben's every move as he listens. And when Ben tells him how he felt, which was not so weirdly sexual, but still a lot about touching things, Klaus listens leaning against him and without taking his eyes from him.
That dialog, for me, looks like Klaus is flirting, yes, and he's not so sure if its jokingly or not, so he's just owning. Ben, who knows shit about flirsting, is just genuinely into the conversation.
And we can see they're comfortable with sharing things with each other, which is so sweet.
BRAS, YOU'RE STILL REPEATING OTHER POSTS
I know, sorry.
On that flashback where we see Klaus calling Ben back, the FIRST THING he offers Ben is for him to watch as Klaus sticks his dick inside their dad's car for him to piss there. Which is in no way sexual, but is still a childish reason for Klaus to show his dick to Ben.
Just like telling him not to made Ben look at his penis as soon as he got the body.
Soon after the flashback, when they're discussing what to do and Viktor goes to call Sissy, Alisson calls out how Diego and Luther seem to be in a dick measuring contest. To which Klaus starts adding that, for real, he and Ben--
Which I'm assuming is that they did that more than once.
That homoerotic tension of wanting to place your dick besides your bro's just to see how they look together. I mean, who's got the bigger one.
Second season is so fucking Horrancey it makes me embarrassed.
The whole parallel of Ben punching Klaus/Dave punching Klaus and again Ben punching Klaus, but this time sparrow Ben...
Even the whole thing that Dave punches Klaus because Klaus is acting like he knows him and he freaks out in front of his family is exactly the same thing that happens to Sparrow Ben.
And maybe one of the main reasons Klaus is the first one to let go of simping over Sparrow Ben was because of what happened to Dave last season. He knows this Ben could turn into his favorite person, given the time, but he's just probably fuck things up, so why bother?
This Ben still doesn't know he loves Klaus.
Anyway.
Klaus and Ben are that weird teenager friendship that was almost but not exactly a romantic relationship but somehow ended in bad terms when one of them got a real bf.
that's what's happening that season.

Like The Other Ben
Fandom: The Umbrella Academy (season 3)
Characters: Sparrow!Ben, Klaus
Anonymous said: Not sure if you’re okay writing Sparrow!Ben, but since you like Klaus - a tickle fight between them could be so cute! Maybe set on the night of the wedding, with Klaus finding out Ben’s ticklish and wrecking him to “see if he has the same spots as Ben 1.0” (and just to see him smile for once!)
Words: 866
Ben was drunk and Klaus’ face was stupid.
“Excuse you.”
Did he say that aloud?
“Yes, you did,” Klaus replied, equally as drunk, with something offended to his voice. “You’ve been narrating, like, all your thoughts for the past ten minutes.”
Huh. Would you look at that.
“Stop,” Klaus groaned, exasperated in a way Ben hadn’t seen him be before. Not that he really knew him. The Sparrow Academy wasn’t big enough for them all, although there was only Ben and Sloan left now, so maybe he was the outsider. Still Klaus had been infiltrating his life more and more to the point he wondered if maybe he was their Ben after all.
He was too drunk to think about this. When he looked at Klaus it seemed he must’ve at last kept his thoughts out of his mouth.
“How are you standing right now?” he asked instead, dizzy just from seeing Klaus taking step after step around the room.
“Oh, I’m used to this,” he said, although his balance was clearly faltering. “Though you’re weak, I see.”
“Shut up,” Ben snapped, feeling a muted type of anger briefly flare up before dissolving beneath the alcohol’s influence, which made him moody but not much else. He didn’t fully feel all his emotions while drunk. Some would say that was a dangerous thing if you normally felt a lot, but Ben was usually above turning to booze.
But this was his sister’s wedding. His only still living sibling, if you could even call her that.
Klaus was dancing toward him, or maybe he was simply walking and staggering as he did. “Come on,” he sang, and Ben tried to sit up from the floor upon his approach but found he’d lost control of his limbs. “Lighten up. You’re having fun, aren’t you?”
“Barely.” But he kind of was. Or had been, up until Klaus made him aware of it and he felt he needed to sulk about it. He’d danced, nearly elbowing Diego in the face and laughing so hard about it he’d almost fallen. Klaus had pulled him away when he’d started feeling sick, and although his stomach had settled they’d stayed out of sight from the rest of the party, content in doing whatever the hell they were doing stumbling around together. Ben could almost see why this other Ben liked Klaus, but he wasn’t about to tell him that.
“I know a way to help you loosen up,” Klaus said, plopping down beside him with a grin so big it scared him a bit. “I used to do it to my Ben all the time.”
“No thanks.”
“Oh, come on, Benjamin. It won’t hurt, I promise.”
“Don’t call me that.”
“You know what? I don’t need your consent for this. It kind of defeats the point.”
Ben opened his mouth to retort again but all that came out was something like a squeal - but not an actual squeal - when Klaus suddenly latched onto his knee and squeezed.
And squeezed.
And squeezed.
Ben, drunk out of his mind, started giggling when he couldn’t figure out how to get it to stop, ticklish shocks shooting up his leg that he felt despite his intoxicated state. He could tell his body was reacting, hands flailing around, but he was only properly aware of how fucking bad it tickled and how fucking hysterically he was laughing.
“Klaus!” he cried, aiming for a warning but succeeding only in sounding pathetic.
“Ben!” Klaus teased, his other hand moving up to claw at his ribs and making Ben bend forward, which made him dizzy.
“Fuckin’ stop,” he gasped out, embarrassed to already be physically folding.
“You seem to be just as ticklish as my Ben,” Klaus said, ignoring him. “And kind of the same laugh. Let’s see if you have the same tickle spots, too.”
He grabbed Ben’s shoulder and gently pushed him to the side so that he was resting on Klaus’ lap. Ben was confused for only a second before he felt fingers glide into the area beneath his chin and teasing the skin so softly he almost screamed. He felt his whole body buckling, feet kicking in an attempt to escape, but all he managed to do was to flip himself onto his back and give Klaus proper access to his neck.
He positively screeched when Klaus started swirling his fingers over the skin without mercy, catching sight of the utter glee on his face. He would never let this happen while sober, but he had to admit, in between moments of unbearableness, that this was kind of fun.
Not that he would ever admit that.
“I think your neck is worse, Benerino.”
“Fuck off!”
“Let’s see if your armpits are as bad.”
“No!” Klaus tried to grab his wrist, but in a moment of sobriety Ben managed to roll off of him and curl up on the floor, not really the grand escape he’d imagined. “Mercy, please.”
Klaus was laughing, although Ben could tell it wasn’t necessarily at him. “Fine. But hey, you had fun, right?”
“No.”
“Liar.”
“I’ll get you back for this, Klaus.”
“Looking forward to it, Benjamin.”
Ben exhaled. Maybe Klaus was all right.
