“Cut the bullshit Klaus.”
“What! It’s the honest to god truth, I pinky swore and everything! Does that mean nothing to you!” Klaus whined, lifting up his pinky finger to wave it in your face before you smacked it away with an indignant scoff. “Yeah right.”
Klaus has brought to your attention that his douche of a brother, Ben, has formed a crush on you in recent times, before going on tangents about how he couldn’t look away from you, his eyes widening with awe whenever you stepped into the same room as him before straightening his posture as you cut across his line of sight, leaving behind a lingering trail of your scent. He would then add on how Ben would try to show off subtly to you and even stand closer to you whenever his family called upon yours for a one sided meeting that naturally ended in raised voices and threats of violence.
ludicrous doesn’t even begin to describe what you were feeling when hearing the shit that came from your friends mouth without suspecting that he may have snuck himself a couple of drugs beforehand despite being clear for a long while now besides the occasional self indulgence of a drink. You trusted Klaus but sometimes the things he says aren’t exactly grounded in reality and so you were suspicious to say the least when he started claiming that Ben, the man who’d done nothing but stare daggers into your back and berate your friends to elevate his own ego, had somehow aloud himself the time to grow a crush on you.
“I assure you it’s the truth! Only I could tell when Benarino is in love and you my dear friend are his object of desire.” Klaus said airily as he crept closer to you, throwing an arm over your shoulder and bringing you into his side, “I can see it now. Y/n and Ben sitting in a tree, k.i.s.s.i.n.g-“ you cut off his teasing by shoving him away by bringing your hand to his face. “Nice to know I’m nothing more then an object to him then.” “You know I didn’t mean it like that!” Klaus whined, swatting away your hand from his face to pout at you before becoming serious.
“His eyes literally turn into hearts when he looks at you! He’s only ever looked at you like that whenever you laughed at something stupid being said or when your eyes brighten up with joy whenever we actually act like a proper fucking family for once. He looks at you like that whenever you say something snarky and smart or when you do something really cool and this doesn’t take an idiot to not notice but Ben really and truly can’t get enough of you y/n.” You didn’t say anything afterwards and instead opted to look into Klaus’ green eyes for any indication that the impassioned speech was nothing more then a lie but all you could find was pure and genuine emotions.
He wasn’t lying, he’d never lie to you about how Ben felt when he’s known his the longest out of any of his siblings, so if anyone knew of Ben’s feelings for you it’d be Klaus. You look away from him briefly to compose your thoughts and what your next move would be but a snicker brought your attention back to Klaus as he stared at you knowingly with a mischievous smirk across his face. “I know your secrete.” He prods your cheek with a finger. “Oh yeah? Enlighten me then.” You snarked, crossing your arms over your chest, feeling quite confident that Klaus was going to utter the most ridiculous shit you’ve ever heard…until.
“You like Ben.”
…Shit

taglist | masterlist
Tumblr media
klaus was practically buried in a heap of blankets, a few awry tufts of hair being the only confirmation that he was, in fact, still seated on the sofa in the living room of the academy. 
every so often, the mountain of fabric shook as klaus coughed or sneezed, and you would feel sympathetic if half of you didn’t find his theatrics somewhat entertaining. 
klaus had come down with a cold which, though never a pleasant illness to fall victim to, was not nearly as drastic as he was making it out to be. he had a stuffy nose and a sore throat, the occasional headache now and then, but to him, it was the end of the world as he knew it. 
when he’d first noticed he was getting sick, klaus had draped himself over you, hand pressed against his forehead like a damsel in distress as he told you he was coming down with something. 
it had only gotten worse from there. 
“you’re laughing,” he moaned, head popping out to reveal his flushed cheeks and messy hair. “i’m sick, and you’re laughing at me. do you understand the betrayal i’m feeling right now? my own partner doesn’t even care that i’m ill.”
“i’m not laughing,” you lied, trying your hardest to keep a straight face as you placed a fresh box of tissues on the coffee table in front of him. “i’m deeply concerned for your well-being, actually.”
“you’re lucky you’re hot, babe, cause you’re a terrible liar,” he declared, flippantly grabbing a tissue and blowing his nose. 
“hey, i’m looking after you, aren’t i? i even made you some soup the other day!”
“after you lectured me for a half hour,” klaus countered, somehow managing to act proud even in his sick state. 
you scoffed, jabbing at the air in front of his chest.
“because i told you that you’d get sick if you went outside in that weather. but did you listen to me?”
klaus threw his hands up, your eyes catching a glimpse of the black ink adorning his palms. though he was acting frustrated, he flashed you a toothy smile.
“well, in sickness and in health babe! we gotta stick together to get through this.”
you didn’t bother trying to mask your laughter this time, allowing your hand to fly up to your mouth to at least stifle some of the giggles pouring out of it.
“it’s a cold, klaus. you’ll be fine in a few days you idiot.”
“oh?” he raised his eyebrows, as if accepting a challenge. klaus forced a cough, attempting to produce hoarse and painful sound. “we’ll see about that.”

crying because i always have imagined when writing reader x five was for reader to be a stoner and five just rolls his eyes and stops them from getting high regularly
five : is that a cigarette?
reader : noooo…. its klaus’ cigarette…..
five : give me the cig.
reader : cmonnnnn whats better then being high? you????
five : [sigh] ask yourself that, hand it over.
Tumblr media
Been in the drafts since July.... 2022
Five didn't want you to end up like his brother. He saw how it destroyed his brother's life and he would be damned if he'd let you go down that same path. He may not have been able to stop his brother from falling into that pit, but he sure as hell will help you.
Klaus indulges/enables you, which annoys Five to no end. He tries to keep you away from Klaus and have as few interactions with him as possible. He doesn't know how to express his emotions/feelings, so he has a hard time expressing himself to you and telling you he worries about you. You think he's being aggressive when in reality that's his way of showing he cares.
Whenever he catches you smoking with Klaus, he's quick to put a stop to it and pretty much scold you like a child. You are never alone with Klaus; Five is always there, no matter where you are. When Klaus does end up getting better, Five is more than excited, because for whatever reason you look up to Klaus and will take after him.

you leave a first impression → sparrow academy [ben]
Tumblr media
Warnings: Profanity
Imagine yourself having the powers of an Empath combined with the tracking abilities of Demetri Volturi [Twilight].
Ben || Number Two –– THE SCHEMER
⮕ Ben isn’t used to people staring at him the way your group does. 
⮕ Is he used to star-struck admiration? Yes. Poorly concealed lust. Oh most definitely. 
⮕ Fighting crime in the limelight for years had propelled the Sparrow Academy into celebrityhood overtime, to the point where it felt like they were more commodity than people most days.
⮕ With bus loads of fans gathering at their fence each day, and hoards of women and men throwing themselves at him for almost anything, all Ben had ever known was fan-crazed obsession and shallow affection. 
⮕ So when he sees the mosaic of expressions that aren’t admiration or greed on your group, he’s already on alert:
⮕ The Big Guy and Stubble are wide-eyed at the back, almost slack jawed as the woman with the long coat stumbles back into them.
⮕ She’s quick to school her expression as she shuffles away, but Ben notes the way her hand trembles as her eyes rove over him in disbelief.
⮕ Their reactions has The Monster™ unfurling itself inside his stomach, but Ben ignores the sharp pain that follows in its wake as he turns to the smallest of your group. 
⮕ Their faces are twisted with an expression he can’t quite decipher. It looks like grief, longing, and hope all mixed into one but the look is too fast and too fleeting for him to make sense of anything.
⮕ Short Pants, in particular, brings in his pointed finger into a clenched hand at his side. 
⮕ Sundance, comparatively, looks the most at ease as he holds a hand against his chest with a dramatic flourish. It’s as though he’s already comfortable with what’s going on, comfortable with being in a room with them him, that Ben’s brow furrows.
⮕ In spite of his nonchalance and near-friendliness, he can’t help but think that Sundance’s smile could be bigger–all toothy or some sort of mischievous shit–and that the smile he’s wearing now is half-hearted at best. 
⮕ Of course, it isn’t until he catches you hidden behind Sundance, eyes pinned to the floor that something that feels like desperation reverberates through him as he waits for you to meet his gaze.
⮕ The Monster™ pounds at his stomach lining, begging to be let out. 
⮕By that point, Marcus and the rest of his siblings descend from the second floor, strategically mirroring your own formation as he addresses The Big Guy so Ben forces his attention elsewhere. 
⮕ This shit can wait 'til after, he decides with a huff. 
⮕ With seven on each side, the confrontation becomes an even standoff. And while it seems the whole situation might come to a peaceful resolution at first, Stubble and Jayme fall into an argument that inevitably kicks things into gear. 
⮕ Ben, naturally, unleashes The Monster™.
⮕ Only, instead of attacking Sundance or Shortstack–being the two closest to him–you side-step into view, now meeting his gaze for the very first time. 
⮕ To his shock? horror? disbelief? The Monster™ stills just before it can tear into your side, stopping only for a few seconds before gently (what?) caressing (the fuck?) your dirt-stained cheek. 
⮕ From behind The Monster™, you stare at its tendrils and at him with a look unlike the others. It makes him feel bare and exposed, vulnerable in all the wrong ways, like he’s a live wire waiting to be put out. The way you look at him... Ben would only describe it as reverence.
⮕ Complete and utter reverence. 
⮕ Eyes wet and mouth trembling, the sharp intake of breath you take as you look at him, really look at him, makes him think back to earlier and how he’d felt a flash of–
⮕ “–I don’t want to hurt you,” he says, the words slipping out before he can bite his tongue. 
⮕ At his words, your expression ripples into something more bitter, something more than words Ben can even come up with and louder than your group as you press your lips into a thin, resigned, line:
⮕ “Too late,” it comes out soft, barely a whisper. But Ben winces as though you’d screeched into his ear.  
⮕ Before he can do anything more, say anything more, you dart around his tendrils and brush a finger against his face. 
⮕ All of a sudden, his limbs grow heavy with fatigue, The Monster™ retreats back into his skin with a harsh slam and the world tilts on its axis.
⮕ White-hot betrayal washes over him as he hits the floor, and as he begins to lose conscious, just on the precept of going under, Ben realises one thing about the sensation as it settles and aches, an open wound:
⮕ The feeling does not belong to him.

Promises - Ben Hargreeves
Warnings: mentions of death, sexual references, angst, fluff.
Tumblr media
Ben had always loved you; he couldn't remember a time when you hadn't held residence in his mind. Klaus had introduced the two of you—sadly after Bens passing—and somehow, under some miracle, you had been able to see and talk to him. Perhaps that was why Klaus had brought you together in the first place. Maybe he had known all along.
You'd bonded with Klaus as well, mainly for the purpose of pulling pranks on Ben—pranks of which never worked, considering the ghost boy always knew what you were up to.
Your bond with Ben, however, was something different. He was head over heels for you, and not only because you were the only other person besides Klaus that could see him. He found himself enjoying your company more than he had anyone else's, indulging in your laughs and smiles, as if they were a delicacy.
When Five announced the apocalypse, there was no laughing, or happiness of any kind. As one would expect when the world was ending, deep depressions settled over everyone that knew of what was to become of the world. You'd gone home as soon as Five let the news loose, wanting some space to clear your head away from the umbrella academy heroes. Ben had followed you, leaving Klaus unattended, not that he would listen to Ben's warnings if he stayed.
"Look, Y/N" Ben appeared by your side as you collapsed onto your couch, head in your hands. "We're gonna make it out of this". Ben wasn't sure of his statement but spoke it anyway needing something comforting to say to you.
"You can't be sure of that Ben" Your head still sat in your hands and Ben wanted desperately for you to look at him. Then he could see your face, scan all your features so he would remember every detail of you no matter what happened.
After a moment he brought himself to speak, "I won't let anything happen to you, okay?".
You turned to him then, lifting your head from your hands but not in the way Ben had hoped. You were hopelessly upset, and Ben could tell well before you spoke. "But you're dead Ben, and I'm no hero. I'm just human, normal, average. I can't save us".
You seemed to notice where you'd gone wrong as soon as the words left your lips, having brought up the death of Ben in a conversation that was meant to be built on reassurance. "Ben I'm so sorry, that came out wrong-" Ben stopped you, smiling the despite the harsh truth. "It's okay".
You shook your head, placing your face in your hands once again "No, it's not, that was mean. I'm sorry".
Being a ghost was difficult, specifically when Ben wanted to reassure you. "Look Y/N, it's just the apocalypse, it's not like it's the end of the world".
You laughed at that, and Ben loved the sound. If he could, he would listen to it on repeat, put it on a record and never stop the turntable.
"Technically it is the end of the world" You were looking at him, the smile that he loved threatening to spill, though your eyes were brimmed with tears. Death was inevitable, you just didn't think it would come for you this soon.
"You promise we'll be okay?" Your question was a commitment impossible to keep but Ben nodded, wanting more than anything to put his arm around you.
"Yeah, I promise".
-
A few days passed and you had pulled yourself together enough to think about things other than your impending demise for a few minutes, before of course falling into a pit of sadness, anger, and frustration once again. Ben's promise did nothing to ease your mind, and you knew it never would. There was no saving you, or anyone. Maybe being okay meant being with him in the afterlife. You sure as hell found yourself heading there.
"You're thinking about death again, aren't you?" The voice of Klaus interrupted your thoughts, cheerful despite it all.
"Of course I am Klaus, it’s my future and it awaits me". You sent him a venomous smile, though you wanted to stop yourself from doing so. Klaus had done nothing wrong, but you couldn't stop your harsh comments, having turned into a pessimist over the last few days.
"Hey, it’s time to be happy! Five has a plan" He drew out the name of his brother, as if mention of the grumpy being would ease your mind.
"What is this plan exactly Klaus?"
"Well, I wasn't really listening, but I'm sure Five could tell you if you go talk to him" Klaus claps his hands together and you roll your eyes. As if it was easy to talk to Five. As you weren't one of his superpowered siblings, the boy wouldn't even lend you a glance.
"You know what Klaus? When the world is in fact not at its end, I'll be happy, but for now I wish to sit and bathe in everything I'm about to lose. My life for example" You stand as you speak, Klaus moving to take your spot on the loveseat in your living room. He'd always loved the spot and makes himself comfortable quickly.
It's then you see Ben standing in the doorway, arms folded like usual.
"Quite an impressive stance you have there Benerino, is there someone you're trying to impress?" Klaus teases Ben with a grin, having known about his crush on you since it started.
"He hasn't got anyone to impress" You wave the comment off, though you smile at Ben as you move past him to the kitchen.
"Ohh, I'm sure you are well worth impressing Y/N" Klaus continues and Ben hisses at him before moving into the kitchen after you. His brother could drive him into the grave if he wasn't already dead.
"Y/N, I know you're sick of hearing this but it's gonna be okay"
"Oh yeah, because Five's got a plan, right?" You spin to face him, though it's not anger in your eyes, it's fear.
It makes Ben ache, the thought that you are deathly afraid of, well, death. He doesn't want you to die either, knowing you have so much more to do with your life, a thousand things that he couldn't do with his own. He also knows there is a chance he won't see you again, even if you join the afterlife. To him that's too much to risk.
It's then that—if it wasn't already before—making sure you both survive the end of the world becomes Ben's top priority. He knows it's not a realistic hope to have that the both of you will survive, but Ben doesn't care. He wants you to live so he can haunt you forever.
-
The way Ben goes about this is through Klaus.
"Go, tell him what I said!".
Klaus looks at him with something of a frown, though, it's difficult to tell. "You go and tell him Ben, don't bully me into doing your ghostly dirty work".
Ben groans loudly, only for the ears of Klaus to hear. "That's exactly the point Klaus, I can't talk to him, I'm dead. But I can talk to you and you," Ben gestures toward the short yet old man just a few feet away, "can talk to him".
Klaus considers this, placing a finger to his lips in thought. Then he glances to Five who was currently, scolding Luther for "being a useless lump of clay". Klaus shakes his head "Nope, not talking to teenage grandpa".
He struts away then, as if he can escape Ben's pestering, instantly being followed by said boy. "Klaus, I'm begging you".
Klaus keeps walking, not sparing a glance to his brother "I only like begging in the bedroom little bro, and from people who are not you".
"Okay ew," Ben stops in his tracks at the words but continues to speak despite Klaus blocking his ears like a child. "Klaus, I want to save Y/N, and I know you do too".
Klaus pauses then, turns still with his hands covering his ears "You're so in love with them, aren't you?". Ben goes to respond, deny the statement, or perhaps confirm it, but he doesn't even have the chance to think about it before Klaus continues. "I mean, I knew you liked them, a lot, but you my brother, have caught the lovebug".
"The lovebug?" Ben folds his arms, defensive. He knows what Klaus says is true, always has been. He admitted such a fact to himself long ago, but his stubbornness sticks like a glue in not admitting it aloud.
"Ben, Ben, Ben. You are in love". Klaus comes over then, smug smile on his lips and arms extended in a hug like fashion, though, he would go straight through his brother if he tried.
Ben decides upon not saying a thing, a simple eye roll coming as his only response to the tease. This only fires up Klaus more, the man jumping up and down on the balls of his feet. "I think you should tell them".
"What?".
"I, your brother, think that you Ben Hargreeves should admit your feelings for Y/N" There's a pause and Klaus leans in closer "Before it's too late".
-
Ben thought over Klaus's words carefully and decided upon one thing. He would tell you how he felt, but not because it was the end of the world, and not before it was too late. He was getting the both of you out of this apocalypse in one piece, even if it cost him everything. There would be no 'too late'.
Currently Ben stood in your living room, trying to convince himself that his feelings were worth sharing, that above everything they were better than a goodbye, that they wouldn't push you away. It was too late to back out now, and if he did Klaus would most likely throw him under the bus later, spilling the beans like he always did with every secret he held.
It was then that you entered your house, jumping at the sight of Ben, pacing within your place like an anxious puppy.
"Jesus Ben!" You held a hand to your chest, backpack gripped in the other as you kicked the door closed. "What are you doing here?".
Ben froze for a second at the sight of you, the best person he'd ever known, whether he'd been alive in his time of knowing you or not. He ran over the words he was to say in his head. "I wanted to tell you something". It wasn't how he'd intended to start the conversation, but it would have to do.
"What'd you want to tell me?" You have your back to Ben now, placing your backpack on the kitchen bench and pulling out various food items. Ben counts two boxes of microwave rice risotto and a block of cheese before he loses focus. Ben can't bring himself to confess when he doesn't know if you're truly listening. If he's going to do this, he wants your full attention, and by the looks of it he's going to have to take it.
He moves quickly taking your hand just before you can grab anything else from your bag of wonders, and it's then that you turn to him, eyes sinking into his. You hold a frown, creases in your brows that Ben wants to smooth out with the pad of his thumb.
"I want to tell you something important-"
Ben is cut off as your gaze shifts from his eyes to his hand, still holding your own. "Ben," Your voice is full of confusion, "you're touching me".
It's then that the feeling of your skin on his registers in his mind, and his mind seems to blur with the contact, something he hadn't felt in so long.
"Is this what you wanted to tell me?" Your voice is quiet, still staring down at that of the skin on skin contact. Ben's staring at it too, your hands intertwined, and somehow a laugh escapes him.
"No, what I wanted to tell you was different. So different".
You manage to pull your eyes away from your hands, though, it had been hard, to look at Ben's face, scanning him for answers. Answers that he didn't have, that was, if you were looking for something to explain the contact.
"What were you going to tell me?" You’re looking into his eyes now, and he can tell that you want to reach out, see if your hand won't just go straight through him, but you don't.
Ben is quiet for a moment, afraid that if he lets go of your hand now, he will never be able to hold it again. Then he finds it in himself to speak. "I wanted to tell you how much I care about you" Ben stops closing his eyes tightly as he wills the right words to come to mind. As much as he hates to admit it, he's thinking of what Klaus would do. When he opens them again, you're looking at him with deep concern. "Ben?". The way you say his name drives him crazy, somehow pushing him forward, giving him the strength to confess.
"I care about you, in more than a friend way". He can't bring himself to say that four letter word. He wants to tell you that after you both survive this. After the two of you make it out alive, flipping off the end of the world with grins on your faces.
When the words leave his lips, you stare at him with something he can't understand, he feels you squeeze his hand and then you let go, and Ben's heart sinks at never being able to touch you again. And then you hug him. You hug him, bringing him close to you, arms around his neck and smiling into his shoulder. Ben is stunned at first, head spinning at having you this close, before he wraps his arms around you, trying to push back tears of relief.
It takes a long time for the both of you to pull away, and when you do Ben makes sure to keep his hand intertwined with yours. He doesn't want your touch to disappear just yet.
"I always keep my promises". His voice is soft, quiet, and you find yourself moving in closer, though you can hear him just fine. You say nothing, and you don't need to say anything. "I promised you that we would make it out of this, that we would survive whatever the fuck this apocalypse is. I'm keeping that promise, okay?".
All you do is nod, but there are tears in your eyes and you're smiling. Really smiling. Ben allows himself to do the same, and somehow that makes everything better. He knows that you'll survive this, together.

Leaving Marks | The Umbrella Academy AU
Pairing: Klaus x Vicky (OC - The Eighth Child’ Verse)
Word Count: 2,2 k
Warning: Strong language, angst, pregnancy talk
a/n: So after I saw the translation for Klaus' temple tattoo I knew I had to write this. I hope you all feel as much as I felt when I was writing it
(Masterlist)
Life was weird, it was hard to adjust after everything that happened. After a lifetime of thinking they knew who they were, all the former Umbrella kids were tossed into the world without an identity, without powers.
After a quick checkup with the doctor, it was confirmed that Victoria and Klaus were expecting a baby (who they believed was a girl based on their father's extraterrestrial prediction).
The pregnancy was going well and they didn't seem to have much to worry about except, of course, a quick trip to the courthouse to make their wedding official and start planning their honeymoon to Rio de Janeiro as soon as they had the money.
"Shit! I'm all bruised again..." Vicky groaned, sitting on the couch and taking a look at her legs. "Not being indestructible sucks! Do people always get hurt this much?"
"Not really, you just never had to worry about it before so you walk around bumping into everything," Klaus laughed, taking her leg to kiss the bruises.
"Everything fucking hurts, how are people just living their lives? Literally everything I do hurts!" She huffed. "I take something out of the oven, I fall, I scratch myself somewhere, I hold a paper the wrong way, I'm not careful enough shaving... your bodies are so fragile! I hate it!"
"Well, most people deal with this since they were born, we don't really think about it."
Klaus was amused by her frustration, only because it was adorable to watch her figure out what was safe and what wasn't with her new vulnerable flesh. For once he was useful, he could help her avoid injuries or make her feel better when she got hurt.
"Speaking of hurt, did you... did you wanna get your tattoos back?" Victoria asked, trying to sound nonchalant.
"Oh, I haven't really thought about it," Klaus teased. "I might just want to keep my body clean."
"Nooooo I miss them..." she whined. "It's only five of them!"
"Six actually, I had the umbrella on my wrist, the tiger, the skull, the palm tattoos, and Dave's temple."
Victoria sat up with the most confused look on her face. What did he just say?
"Did I hear it right? Dave's temple? What do you mean?"
"It's Thai I think, I got it done when I was with him."
"And what does it say?" She asked, suddenly very queasy.
"Um... it says Klaus loves Dave," he admitted, thinking it would be better she heard from him than googling it later and finding out he lied.
Victoria stared at him agape, seething with anger that raised up her chest. Her husband immediately noticed and winced, scared of her reaction.
"What the FUCK DID YOU DO?" Her voice was raised along the sentence until she was screaming. "KLAUS, HOW COULD YOU? AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME?"
"To be very honest, I don't even remember getting this tattoo at all, I don't remember if I asked for the writing or if Dave did... I was so drunk," Klaus chuckled, not really understanding the severity of the can or worms he just opened. He thought laughing it off would make it better, as it usually does.
Victoria felt as if her heart was ripped out of her chest. She was there too, she was in Vietnam for 10 months stripping to have a roof over her head and he didn't seem to miss her enough to want anything to remember her by.
It felt like a betrayal not only because he had an ex's name on his body, but also because this ex had treated Klaus like shit the last time they met and that was something she could never forgive.
"And in all this time you couldn't have made a tattoo for me? Guess you don't love me that much after all," she murmured.
"We're married, we have a baby on the way! I've been pining after you since we were little kids. How can I not love you?" Klaus clutched his chest, feeling quite hurt by her doubt, but knowing her pregnancy hormones certainly played a big role in how this discussion was progressing.
"Right? I thought you did too, crazy how wrong we can be sometimes..."
"I never got a tattoo of your name because you always told me you thought it was lame! I wanted to when we moved out, remember?"
It was true, he asked her what she'd think of him tattooing her name on his forearm along with his in a heart like a carving on a tree two lovers would do as children.
She refused and said that was incredibly tacky, he disagreed, but never brought it up again.
"That doesn't mean you can just go and get someone else's name!" She screamed, leaving him behind while caressing her stomach.
"Liebchen, falls ich wissen sollte was Liebe bedeutet, liegt es an dir*," Klaus followed as he whispered in her ear. "Ich will für immer bei dir sein**."
"Stop it!" Vicky whined. "I don't wanna be charmed right now!"
"Do you want me to get a tattoo for you?" He finally asked, maybe she would finally agree to the carved heart idea.
"No! Nothing you can get will ever top this massive temple on your stomach! It's huge and you've done it first. I can't believe I had sex with you looking at that!"
"I will close my back with your face if that makes you happy, I'll get your name in bold letters on my forehead, I'll get a 'property of Victoria Maria Hargreeves' on my ass! Just please tell me how to make you happy? I wanna fix this."
"Well too bad, you can't make me happy, Klaus!"
That was a first, not once had Vicky been so unforgiving. He was somewhat used to getting away with everything when it came to her, she would make excuses even for his stupidest behaviors.
It was a punch in the gut to hear that, especially being so full of trauma as he was. She had left him once back when they were younger, what would stop her from taking a job in another country and taking their child away? Maybe she was done with him and he would once again lose someone he loved more than himself.
That idea brought tears to his eyes and an almost unbearable pain to his chest. He wanted to drink, he wanted to smoke, he wanted to get his hands on any sort of drug he could find and get high enough to forget everything, but he couldn't. He was a father now.
"I did love Dave, but you know there wasn't a single moment I didn't think of you back then," Klaus dropped to his knees in front of her. "Yeah, he made me see I could be brave and strong. You were always brave for me and much stronger, you were my shield and he showed me I could stand on my own and maybe even protect you someday."
"That man punched you in the face, he came by just to tell you off! How can you see someone like that as anything more than a bigot?" Victoria cried, turning away, not wanting to face him.
"Not everyone has the privilege of knowing who they are and being able to express it like me," he shrugged. "I'm not angry at him as much as I'm angry at the world that made him feel like that's how he should treat me."
"I'm mad at him, it was his fist on your face, not anyone else's."
Klaus nodded, she had all the right to feel this way. He understood and wanted to say that, but he was terrified of saying the wrong thing and prompting her to leave again. He couldn't stand losing her a fifth time.
"Victoria, I'm sorry," he took her hand and kissed it repeatedly. "I know I hurt your feelings and I don't deserve it. You're the best thing that ever happened to me, you're probably the reason why I'm even alive. I'd never be able to take all the abuse without you there. I'm s-sorry," he sobbed.
Vicky couldn't help how misty-eyed she got as well, the first memory she had of him came into her mind.
They were probably around three or four, they were playing with paper dolls they drew themselves while Grace watched from her charging station.
"I wanna marry a big strong man and have two babies, a boy and a girl," she said.
"I'll be a big strong man!" Klaus pouted, his lip quivering with jealousy at the idea she might be imagining someone else.
"What? Who do you wanna marry?" She asked.
Klaus took their dolls and made them kiss, imitating the noise with his mouth. "I wanna marry a Vicky!"
Pulled back to the present, Victoria looked down at the pitiful look on her husband's face and pulled him into her arms.
He sighed, crying even harder and placing his hand on her stomach. "Do you forgive me?" He asked.
"When have I ever been able to stay angry at you? It hurts so bad that you didn't do anything for me, but-"
"If I knew for a second that's what you wanted, I would have! I swear!"
She looked thoughtful for a moment before nodding. "If you wanna get the temple again with the rest of your tattoos, that's okay."
"No, I won't do that," Klaus shook his head, the idea of hurting her again was too painful. "The past is in the past. I'm forever grateful for him and what he did for me, but you and Fortune are my future."
That night Klaus went out to get dinner, hoping some junk food would cheer Vicky up. On the way, he stopped by a beautiful garden in the park and sat down.
He carefully took off Dave's dog tags and held them close to his heart once more. He then dug a hole among the flowers with his fingers and placed the necklace there, covering it as best as he could.
"I think this is a nice spot for you to rest," Klaus smiled to himself. "Thank you, Dave, for everything. I'm sorry I couldn't save you, but you saved me."
——————————————————
That week Klaus tried to be extra loving, he did everything to show Vicky she meant the world to him and he loved her with all his heart and soul. He cooked (badly, but still), cleaned, took every chance to compliment her, kiss her, cuddle her...
When his tattoo appointment finally came, he had already decided he wanted to make a nice surprise for his wife. Or two.
So on the first day, he got the tiger on his back, the Sky Soldiers skull on his arm, the hello and goodbye on his palms, and even the umbrella on his wrist (something he really wanted, as to never forget where he came from and the pain he endured).
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, and Vicky thought that was it. Only a couple of weeks after, Klaus went back for his second appointment while his wife worked on her new business. She had been very busy with everything regarding the bakery she was planning to open, something she wanted since she was 12.
"Hey, Liebling! How are we doing today?" He came back a few hours later with the biggest smile on his face.
"Great, can you try this?" She offered him a cinnamon roll from the tray she had just pulled out of the oven.
"It'll be my pleasure," Klaus took a large bite and moaned, rolling his eyes. "Oh, my God! This is so good, you haven't lost your touch."
"Thank you, but you're not just saying that? It needs to be good enough to sell," Victoria asked hesitantly.
"I promise you, it's perfect. I'd buy a dozen right now," he insisted, taking another bite. "It's really buttery, the perfect amount of cinnamon, so soft.."
"Aww I'm glad! You can eat as many as you want, just save some space for dinner," she winked at him as she washed her hands. " What would you like, by the way?"
"Oh well, anything that isn't too greasy, also no pork for me," Klaus smirked. "Not until I heal."
"Heal? What did you do?" She asked.
He simply unbuttoned his flowy blouse and exposed his back where he had now a tarot card.
"The Wheel of Fortune," Vicky murmured with a soft chuckle. "That is so sweet! I bet she'll love it and I do too."
"Oh but that's not all," he pulled the sleeve to expose his forearm.
Klaus had a pretty big tattoo of a rectangular window, the window from their first flat which went from floor to ceiling. He also had the skyline that was visible from their living room and in front of it, his silhouette dancing with Victoria's just like they used to do when they were kids.
"Klausie! This is... this is so beautiful," Vicky choked on her words, overwhelmed with emotion. "I can't believe you did that!"
"Why not? I love you," he giggled. "See? They are dancing together forever, they'll never ever be apart, just like I wish we never had."
Without another word, she jumped into his arms capturing his lips passionately. That was so much better than anything she could've come up with, it was the most romantic thing he had ever done. Declaring his love and saying so much without even needing words.
"So I take it you liked it?" Klaus grinned, wrapping his arms around her.
"I love it... You're a big strong man, Klausie. You're my dream come true."

“What does the winner get?” TUA?
A/N: Set around the very beginning of S3.
Tumblr media
“What does the winner get?”
“A big slice of ha, ha, loser to shove in the other’s face.”
“Then consider yourself pied.”
Diego expertly balanced the hotel room’s landline on Luther’s chest. “Twenty,” he whispered victoriously.
Your mouth fell open and you shot your brother a look that most certainly disagreed with his words. “That is not twenty. Your last number was seventeen.”
“Deaf as well as a sore loser? Oh-ho, sis, you’ve got it good.” Diego grinned, the tip of his tongue sticking from between his teeth as he meticulously perched a coffee mug on Luther’s knee. “Twenty-one.”
Luther shifted slightly in his sleep, a graceful snort interrupting his snores. You and Diego held your breaths as a menu and a couple teabags fell to the floor. When he relaxed again with a smack of his lips, you picked up the menu and put it back on his ankle with a proud smile.
“Uh-huh, no, that doesn’t count. It dropped, hence a minus, not a plus.” Diego pointed a finger in your chest. “Don’t cheat.”
“Speak for yourself, knife-boy. You know, we started this as a team. Twenty-three.”
“Allison says our competitive natures clash. Thirty.”
“Swindler!” Your harsh whisper almost roused Luther again, as well as Five and Klaus, who were sharing a bunk bed on the other side of the room. Luther was stretched across a cot that just about fit his sasquatch-ness, and Diego had resorted to a couch opposite. You had set up camp with Vanya and Allison in the second room you’d rented, but the latter was currently on a plane back home to see her daughter and the former had gone on a wander around the massive hotel. You hadn’t wanted to be alone, so you’d joined the boys in their room, and after a barrage of emotion hindering your sleep schedule, Diego had pulled you into a game that consisted solely of seeing who could balance the most random objects on your sleeping brother.
As to be expected, considering your current argument, neither of you were quite sure who was winning. What you were extremely certain of, was that propping a glass of water—Diego’s pride had blown the roof on that one—on the sleeping giant’s stomach had been a stupid idea.
Diego caught the twitch of Luther’s nostril just as the man sneezed. Of course, everything on him went flying, but it was the water that woke him up in a panicky mess, way too sleep-hazed to notice you and Diego as you made a break for the couch.
“Shi—shit,” Luther breathed out, arms raised above him as he attempted to figure out why he was wet and surrounded in hotel object carnage. You and Diego had successfully hidden your guilt, Diego lying straight and stiff on the couch while you substituted the lack of space for his chest. You lay half on him and half hanging off the edge of the couch, your eyes squeezed shut in attempt to maintain your sleepy innocence.
“Did I...piss myself?” Luther’s bleary words pierced the quietude of the room and Diego had to hide his snort. You jolted slightly as his chest heaved with suppressed laughter.
“The fuck’s the noise?” Each letter enunciated by Five was strung together in a slow, sleep-deprived sentence as he sat up in the top bunk and glanced around, the exact image of a small kid. Klaus suddenly groaned in his sleep, grabbing a pillow and slamming it against his face.
“Go’way,” he mumbled. “Fi’mo’mins, Mom...”
“Uh...” Luther, who seemed far more awake now, frowned deeply, took one more look at the littered floor, and wisely deduced that he was dreaming. “Nothing,” he said, lying back down. “Man, I gotta stop drinking a litre before bed. These nightmares are getting wild.”
You decided then that if anything world-ending were to happen while your brothers were sleeping, you would all be well and truly dead.
You and Diego waited a good minute after Luther’s closing statement before letting loose the few laughs you’d been unable to swallow down.
“He’ll be so confused when he wakes with wet pants,” you whispered, lifting your head up to grin at Diego.
“Nothing he ain’t used to,” Diego assured you, which made you grimace. With a light chuckle, he lifted an arm above his head. “You,” he said as he used a finger to gently rub at the corner of your eye, “are running on empty, huh?”
You shrugged, barely cloaking a yawn at the reminder of the sleep you’d been missing out on for the past however long this shit had been going on. Before relocating to the boys’ room, you hadn’t been so sure you’d get any shut-eye tonight, but held in Diego’s arms now, you couldn’t think of anything you’d rather do.
“I think I’m okay for the end of the world,” you said.
Diego smiled and moved closer to the back of the couch, allowing you more space, though you didn’t relinquish his chest as your headrest, which he was more than fine with. “Try and get some sleep. You know Five’ll have us up at the crack of dawn, saving mankind ‘n all that.”
“Hmm.” You settled against your brother, closing your eyes and focusing on the blissfulness of silence. “Wait ‘til I tell him he looked like a kid woken from his lunchtime nap.”
“Oh, yeah. Don’t forget that. Humble him a bit.”
“I definitely won earlier, Di, didn’t I?”
Diego sent a tight-lipped smile to the ceiling. Older brother, end of the world, and all that. He could afford his sister some triumph.
“‘Course you did, babe,” he said.
You definitely hadn’t.

Ded & Gonne: The Drabbles
1. Yes, Ben. Comfort does exist, and his name is Klaus.
Tumblr media
From a gif by @salvador-daley | More Ded & Gonne by @firstpersonnarrator
<<———>>
AN: I’ve decided that there are too many silly one-off ideas taking up space in my brain, so here’s the first of the D&G Drabbles. Read this one in full right here, tumblr-only. Let’s do this. TWs: None.
<<———>>
“Come over here and hug your brother.” Klaus spreads his arms to welcome Ben back with a big, goofy smile.
“No.”
“Bummer, but ok.” Klaus turns away and immediately turns back. “Come over here and hug your brother.”
“No.”
“K.” Klaus itches his chin then spreads his arms wide once again, but without the grin. He figures maybe the grin was the problem. “Come over here and hug your brother.”
“No!”
“Klaus and Benny, sittin in a tree-“
“Shut UP, Klaus.”
“That’s no way to thank me for wanting to hug you, you big meanie.” Klaus pauses. “Come over here and hug your brother.”
“When have I ever said yes?”
“Is this a trick question?”
Ben does not respond.
“Cuz I have a trick answer! You said yes at the wedding, ha-ha ha-ha haaah-haaaah,” says Klaus, pulling out more schoolyard taunts. Which he’s certain he would have been good at had he ever been to a schoolyard. He sure got good at taunting back in the academy’s courtyard. Courtyard, schoolyard. Same thing.
“I did not say yes to hugging my not-brother.”
“You can try and deny it now, but you and I both know that you’re a snuggler. Who loves to snug.” Oh. Ouch, Klaus. That might have been a little too far.
Yep. It was a little too far. Or a lot. Point is, Ben has set his jaw, and is standing rigidly with his hands balled into fists.
“Now-now, Benji-“
Oh yikes no.
“Now don’t look so angry. Unless you’re hangry. You can look hangry if you want. But that’s beside the point.”
Maybe the way to amp this up a little higher is to keep talking, Klaus.
Oh God. He’s moving toward Ben, instead of slowly backing away. Dying probably kills lots of brain cells. That’s a compelling explanation. Otherwise it’s just Klaus being Klaus, which is also a compelling explanation.
Can an immortal person have a death wish? Cuz Klaus seems to have one. He’s taking one of Ben’s balled-up fists in his hands, and is now trying to smooth out Ben’s fingers. “There, there, Ben. It’s ok.”
This is odd. Ben has not flinched. Neither has he threatened, nor bellowed in any way, shape, or form of bellowing. This is wyrd. Really wyrd. Ben is just standing there, staring at his fist being smoothed out on Klaus’s palm. It’s possible that Ben is feeling “comfort.” Which is a word he’s never believed applies to anything that actually exists in the world. Not once in his life.
Never until Klaus, who has just picked up Ben’s other fist and is relaxing the fingers there, as well. He watches in fascination. Comfort exists? Yes, Ben. Comfort does exist, and his name is Klaus.

The seance couples: Drunk
It's not as if their relationship was a secret that no one knew about, in fact, Klaus could bet, without fear of losing what little he had, that most of his siblings knew that his relationship with Five was not platonic. After all, neither he nor his lover were the most discreet people in the world, and whenever they were together, it was pretty obvious from their not-so-casual touches, their long looks of affection, and the occasional random stolen kiss. 
Not to mention the other activities they did since arriving at the hotel. Five is not a patient person, and he is not quiet, so Klaus is sure that all of his siblings know they have been having sex since arrived at the hotel. Also, the marks on his neck are hard to hide, even with make-up, and Klaus has made sure that Five always has a kiss mark somewhere visible.
So their relationship is no secret, but apparently, his siblings didn't know about them.
Until now, and surprisingly it wasn't his big mouth that exposed their relationship, the one to blame for his siblings being quite dumbfounded is none other than his very, very drunk boyfriend. 
One would think that Five would be a rather violent drunk, considering that every five minutes Five was threatening to kill them, and when he was a child his way of getting attention was to stick a knife to the table; but surprisingly Five drunk was an extremely loving, honest and rather bold person.
Bold enough to openly declare that he loves him and wants to marry him. Five, being Reginald's favorite son, he had made a long congratulatory speech to Luther and Sloane, before trying to sing him a love song, declaring that he wanted to marry him.
If this whole situation wasn't so .... .hilarious, Klaus would be excited and happy. Instead, he is trying to stop his boyfriend from sticking his hand down his shirt in front of their whole family.
Klaus is not a shy person, and nakedness is not something that makes him uncomfortable, but having sex in front of his siblings is something very different. He wouldn't even let Ben stay in the same room when he had sex in the past.
"I love you" Five declares for the fourth time, kissing his neck. 
"Fivey" tries to push Five away, but most of his brothers still do not react. 
" Be quiet, I'm trying to seduce you" protests the old man in a young man's body. 
This time, Klaus is going to have to be the adult in charge " I am not complaining, but not here" he declares firmly "I'll put him to bed" he announces and regrets it when sees Diego looks like he is going to have a nervous breakdown, Lila smiles like a little psycho, Viktor raises his glass while smiling amused, Ben and Sloane look confused, Allison snorts and walks away with dignity while Luther seems to be too dumbfounded to say anything.
Good thing the end of the world is near! Klaus thinks as he drags his lover towards the lift. An almost impossible task because Five seems more focused on touching him under his clothes as he tries to remove them while awkwardly kissing him.
"Marry me," the older man asks again.
Klaus sighs like a schoolgirl in love at those sincere but awkward words. He sighs the same way he sighed for Five when he was 13. It's not his fault that Five is so cute when he's drunk, Five is always beautiful, but when Five's drunk: he's adorable.  
"Ask me when you're not drunk," he murmurs against Five's lips. "Tomorrow, you're going to regret all this so much."
"I won't."
Klaus laughs as he imagines the look on his lover's face when he learns that their family now knows about their relationship. "Oh yes, you will." 
Five leans against him, holding him tightly around the waist "You have beautiful eyes" he murmurs.
"Oh honey, you're so drunk" he laughs, not meaning it meanly but it's amusing to see this relaxed side of Five. 
"I'm not" he protests, and Klaus has to struggle to keep his balance as he leads Five to their room. 
Five may not be as tall as he is, but his latest growth spurt has given him a more toned and muscular body, so Klaus has difficulty getting them to the bed, Five who is still growing, Klaus has always been more compact and slim. Luckily they make it to the bed without falling off on the way. 
"Come, lie down next to me," asks Five, opening his arms in invitation. 
This is not how he imagined they would spend their last night, but when Five embraces him and feels his warm body against his, he can't imagine anything better than this. Perhaps letting the world end and dying is much better than constantly fighting and escaping the apocalypse.
After all, he has learned to control his powers, and knows they could have a good life in the void. Their little piece of heaven. Together for all eternity. 
"I love you" he confesses, and Five kisses him softly, tenderly, and lovingly.
Their relationship was no secret, and maybe has a lot of explaining to do tomorrow to their dysfunctional family, but for now, this is all Klaus needs to be happy.

As Madness Took Me
Tumblr media
Pain, that’s all his world had become. Physical, mental, hell, he’d even argue spiritual at this point. Just pain. It made him long to be back on the front lines of an active war, even if at times he found himself back there, gunfire, smoke, explosions. Not even sleep served as an escape from the torture and all-consuming fear. Every day he felt like the pain and torment consumed more and more of him from the inside out, leaving nothing but a hollow shell in its wake.
The days bled together, extending out to feel they passed in a blink while also reaching into eternity, never ending. Most things he learned to grow numb to, the physical pain, starvation, isolation. None of it was unexpected or shocking. The only thing he found he was able to cling to was the times they drugged him to shut him up or because they had no torture to inflict on him. He longed for those days, for that oblivion. Sometimes if the torture went beyond and left him too close to death, losing too much blood, or even stopping his heart due to shock a few times, he was granted relief��� drugs to numb him while his body tried to heal and recover. It numbed the pain, let him drift out of existence, back into the haze he was in before those psychos dragged him off the streets and to wherever it is they had him.
This day though, he was all too aware, in more agony than even his mind could numb him to. He’d spent the first half of the day vomiting bile or retching painfully as his stomach tried to expel something not even there. His head was in agony, and he was so so cold. The room they kept him in was bare, only the blaring lights and a toilet. Not even a damn sink to try and wash the taste of bile from his mouth. His skin was on fire, muscles shaking to the point he couldn’t stop it. It was obvious it was narcotic withdrawal on top of everything else they’d inflicted. Everything hurt, but none of the physical agony compared to the thoughts of how he’d been forgotten, left to the torture, left to rot, alone.
He had five siblings, a billionaire father… and they’d abandoned him years ago. Sure, he’d been adopted, made to play military academy under the control of Sir Reginald Hargreeves along with his six other siblings. The abuse was severe for all of them, but Klaus, he’d had it the worst. Even little Viktor had admitted that in his stupid book he’d picked up a couple years back. How he’d been abused more than all of them, the quiet, sweet boy broken under the foot of their cruel, sadistic father.
Still, he’d tried to hang on, keep a part of himself, even despite the substances he’d began consuming at the age of ten. The alcohol had been all too easy to access… not even kept locked up or hidden. It was almost as if his father had wanted him to reach out for it. Old him, pre-captive him would have chuckled at the thought of his first bout of alcohol poisoning at the tender age of eleven. Eventually, nearly all of them began to drink. A whole alcoholic family. It just made their judgements sting even more.
“Klaus!!!” Flinching from his thoughts at the loud shriek of his name, Klaus looked around, his heart hammering in his chest. All he found was an empty room, the glaring lights pressing into his skull like an ice pick behind his eye, causing his empty stomach to churn and spasm even more painfully. “No no no…” Bringing his hands up, he curled into a fetal position, trying to ignore the thoughts of who the voice sounded like. He was gone Ben was gone. He’d died years ago, the images still fresh in Klaus’ mind, the rope, the swinging… he was so cold, all the screaming, begging, holding him tight after getting him down. He was gone. “Please… please make it stop! Please, just, let me die… they won’t care, they… they don’t notice… never did.”Sobbing, he clutched harder at his ears and head, just wanting it to stop, to drown the pain out. He knew it was all part of the intrinsic torture of the sadistic cult that’d dragged him here what must have been months ago. They wanted to break him, to let him have occasional relief, just to rip it away in order to cause further torture and pain. But he didn’t want to be broken, to give in to the mind control they wanted over him. No, he’d rather die… but his body refused that relief as well. It continued to cling on, to endure whatever they did, no matter how brutal. He just wanted his family, he wanted Ben, Diego, even little Five who’d ran off and vanished so long ago. He just wanted someone to save him, even if that someone was the cold, dark embrace of death.

Klaus laughs, melodious, unapologetic, relishing that he is seeing and being seen; he spins out of his husband’s arms, with a squeak of glee, and back into them.  He shimmies and dances in a circle around him, wiggling come hither fingers, throwing his arms up in the air and closing his eyes, dancing like a witch at a bonfire nude in the woods. Dance before the conflagration, dance before the end of the world, the universe, dance before the start of everything that is new and better. Dance. “Free” is a state of mind.

Immortal
Fandom: The Umbrella Academy Summary: Graveyards are an interesting place for Klaus Hargreeves. He will never find himself in one like most people will, but he stays there for far longer than they do. Warnings: Major character death Word Count: 867 Ship(s): Klaus Hargreeves/Dave Katz
Archive link!
The trees swayed in line with the grass, setting a reassuring tone over the place of grief and mourning. The dew still clung to the damp path and the granite stones of the newer graves, reminding him too much of what he had lost. Klaus walked amongst the tall headstones, his eyes flittering over the carved words as each one moved past him. He paused when he came across a deceptively simple one. It was marble, carved to have the classic headstone shape with the exception of the ornate marigold carved onto the top. The stone petals cascaded down the front so that they were scattered around the lettering on the front of the grave, though they mainly focused around the Star of David settled just above the name. The lettering was perfect, evenly spaces with an easy to read yet elegant font. The words read:
David “Dave” Katz
Beloved friend, husband, brother, and son
1939-1968
He had become very well acquainted with them over the past twenty years. This was his only place of comfort during that time, after all. This was the only place that he could find solace when he was left in his big house, wandering the halls like he was the ghost himself. He was alone, so achingly alone, like he always seemed to end up. He knew that he wouldn’t be this way for long, not even a half century, but it was still the most painful experience he had in his never ending life.
Sometimes when I look in the mirror
I still see your face resting on my shoulder
And my heart beats so fast
That I start to feel alive again
He could still feel the memory of the pain creeping up on him, phantom in the same way that a war wound was. Scars on his ever-beating heart that reminded him of what it felt like. Losing someone was an ache that he would never forget, every time it happened, even if their faces faded into a haze that he couldn’t quite recall and their voices blended with all the others. He remembered the hurt of them disappearing from his lives, every time without fail. Desperate mourning visions of the lost ones would haunt him until their memory was nothing more than a spare item in the attic or hall closet.
No amount of time with him would have been enough, though. It still ached when he thought about it, the death so violent that he could feel the coppery blood imprinted on his palms despite twenty years having passed since the incident had happened. It was a stark mark on his memory, forever ingrained on his mind whenever he tried to recall the pleasanter moments.
And the rain, it washes away all the pain
'Cause it feels like the sound of your voice
And I'm comforted by the sweet smells of dew
Because the sunrise reminds me of you
He tilted his head upwards as the dark, swirling stormclouds began to drip heavy raindrops down onto his face. The water was coming in faster and faster bursts until it was pouring. It mixed with the soil, already dew-damp and sticky, until there were swirling rivulets of new water. It was washing away the memory of sorrow and mourning, replacing it instead with new life and fueling the growing grass. It washed over him until it had soaked through his thick brown curls and plated them to the side of his head. It slipped between the thinly woven cloth until it was clinging to his skin and warping the way that his tattoos looked.
And I'll always find you again and again
And I'll love every version of you
And you're never truly gone
As long as a part of you in me lives on
“Klaus?” a voice called from behind him. The aforementioned quickly scrambled to his feet, stumbling over the muddy patch of earth next to the grave he had been mourning at. He quickly closed the space between the two of them so that he was underneath the umbrella as well, shaded from the fat raindrops pouring out of the angry gray sky despite already been thoroughly soaked. “You’re going to get the car seats all wet.”
“They’ll dry out baby, it’s okay,” Klaus laughed, planting a kiss on the other man’s clean-shaven cheek.
The blond laughed, turning his head to the side so that he could kiss his lover fully. Those bluebell eyes never failed to make his heart melt in his chest. “Come on. I know it doesn’t bother you, but I’m cold and this place gives me the creeps.”
Klaus, never one to deny his lover anything, linked their arms together to lead them out of the graveyard. He glanced back at the marble headstone, eyes flickering from the Star of David down to the name printed in clear font. “You got it, star, let’s go home and have a good cuddle, yeah? I’m sure the dogs miss us already.”
'Cause I'll always find you again and again
And I'll lose you every time
But my love, I will hold you close to me
'Til you fade from my arms peacefully

Luther Hargreeves x male!himbo!reader (Headcanons)
Tumblr media
( summary: you’re a himbo Luther keeps seeing at the gym and he can’t help but gain a crush on you from afar [headcanons] )
Warnings?: Light swearing, two golden retriever boyfriends, readers kinda a gym bro
!more under the cut!
Pre-Relationship Tingz:
-The first time Luther ever saw you was at his local gym
-The first thing he noticed was how jacked you were, obviously
-as a gym bro himself he respected your grind and found himself watching you whenever he took breaks
-he started to notice more things about you besides your muscles like, well, your face, specifically how attractive he found you. But when he'd first started finding you attractive he would just brush it off as him having a little but of envy even though he was bigger than you (muscle wise)
-when he started noticing himself becoming sad whenever you didn't show up to the gym that week he knew he was in deep shit
-^started looking forward to gym days even more just knowing that he could see you
-one day you guys happened to have lockers near each other in the changing rooms.
-Que flustered Luther trying not to stare and do double takes as he sees you in nothing but a towel
-^You noticing Luther's stares OH SHI-
-^^Him immediately throwing out some random question to make it seem as though he just turned to ask you something.
-"Do you think fish get thirsty?" "...Probably, but then they could just open their mouths and get a drink...damn fish are really living on a different level."
-Thank god you entertained his stupid random question.
-Since that day whenever you spot Luther you'll give him a big smile, wave, maybe make some small talk
-Giving Luther your Instagram after a while of being gym bros
-^Him playing it cool but completely freaking out when you leave
-^^HE DIDNT EVEN HAVE AN INSTAGRAM???? WTF IS AN INSTAGRAM???
With the help of Allison, Diego, and Klaus (Yes, it took that many people) he finally makes an Instagram account and adds you. After basically stalking your Instagram he finally decides to shoot you a DM telling you that it was Luther
-and so, the both of you started talking in and out the gym which eventually led to the two of you becoming friends
-You were the first one to ask the other to hang out. As Luther was spotting you, you'd just asked him if he wanted to get drinks with you later that night. He deadass almost dropped the barbell.
-He was very nervous to hang out with you outside of a gym setting but it didn't turn out as terrible as he thought. I mean he freaked out a little bit when he woke up in your bed but you assured him that nothing had happened between the both of you, he was just such a lightweight that he ended up blacking out so you had to carry him home.
-^Hold the fuck up, did you just say you CARRIED HIM????
-He asked if he did anything bad and you just told him that he ranted a ton about the moon and his dad and then started crying. But you helped him calm down and got him back to your apartment so that he could rest.
-^^He was very embarrassed but was glad that you had his back
Relationship Tingz:
-Super touch starved so he adores hugs from you, especially if you lift him up.
-You're both very macho men so doing things like cuddling can be a little difficult for the both of you, specifically because of Luther's mutation.
-^Still you do often show him that it's not impossible by allowing him to be the little spoon or carrying him to bed when he's too tired
-You guys cuddling together turns into two grown buff men just sprawled out in all directions on the bed, it truly is a sight to see.
-His love language is Physical Touch and Words of Affirmations so he's almost always touching you in some way
-Loves it when you kiss his jaw and forehead
-If you're somehow taller than him he'll just be infatuated with you even more
-He's very impressed by your strength and vice versa. It's both a blessing and a curse for the both of you.
-Things constantly breaking in the apartment from your clumsiness and him not knowing his own strength at times.
-^He's broken the microwave and washing machine doors multiple times whenever he tries to use either of them after waking up.
-^^One time he felt super guilty about breaking the microwave and you didn't want him to feel bad so you told him it was fine and that it was a completely normal thing that can happen, (it's really not), and you showed him this...by breaking your toaster, just smashing it and then going "See?? Happens all the time." :)
-You guys having compliment wars where you'll go back and forth about who's stronger, prettier, funnier, etc.
-You both tend to get very excited over little things and it just makes the entire relationship more wholesome. One time you saw a frog at the park while the two of you were on a walk and you guys spent 10 minutes gushing over the frog and taking pictures of and with it.
-He loves seeing you happy cause it makes him happy and seeing him happy makes you super happy which in turn makes him extremely happy, its just one big happy cycle.
-When he tells you he has superpowers you were actually very hype about it. You asked him what it was and when he said super strength you thought he was just making a joke about being really strong since the both of you work out a lot. He eventually had to just prove it to you by like throwing a car and punching through a brick wall without any consequences. After he bent a post-light into a balloon dog shape you believed him. The rest of that night was filled with him doing a ton of cool stuff with his powers to make you laugh. Yes, there may have been tons of vandalism but at least it was all super cool to watch.
-He was hesitant on you meeting his family for many, many different reasons but when you did finally meet them they were shocked and yet they were expecting exactly this at the same time. Klaus was pretty much just like "Yep. This is what I expected." Though he was very fascinated with your muscles which you were more than happy to show off, flexing and such as he pokes your biceps which made Luther pull you back a bit. Viktor and Allison were very happy for Luther while Diego and Five were just shocked that there was someone out there even dumber than Luther. Of course Ben was also just happy for his brother :) ...but he was also questioning how anyone could be dumber than Luther. Diego tries to tease you but stuff just flies over your head and Allison just finds the whole thing so adorable.
-Because of your physique you often get girls and some men coming up to you for compliments or asking for your number. Luther tends to get jealous very easily but a simple kiss on the cheek and a hug can knock him out of that state pretty quickly. At times you're oblivious to the flirting and usually Luther is too, but when it hits him that a person is flirting with you he'll get very anxious and triggered and he'll end the conversation as quickly as possible and he'll be very touchy with you afterwards. You usually won't notice the switch in attitude since he's already a very touchy person so you don't think much of it when he pulls you a bit closer, you'll just hug him tighter and smile at him which unknowingly calms him down.
-Overall, the two are a couple of jacked dumbasses but that's fine. At least you both care and love each other :)
