Unable To Help [Klaus X Reader]

Unable to Help [Klaus x Reader]

Klaus had waited long enough to find where you were. After you went off grid, Klaus spent endless hours searching for any kind of a lead for you. It wasn't like you to do so, which tipped Klaus off that something was wrong. And sadly, it took him 10 months to gather enough information to find you. And Klaus was beside himself, ready to see you and get you home safely.

While knowing you were in the bowels of a blood breed's lair did nothing for Klaus's mental state, he knew you'd be strong enough to not succumb to the curse. It wasn't ideal, but he could help you deal with the curse. He would do anything to convince you to come back home.

Perhaps he was a bit too reckless, marching straight through the castle-like structure. But his weapon was drawn, he had his fighting glove at the ready. Anything that jumped out at him was in for a rude awakening of being decked into next week.

Until he realized his punch sent you flying backwards. The surprise of what looked like a blood breed coming at him clouded his ability to recognize you. But then again, you rose from the floor with a sick, twisting grin. Klaus's heart sank as you lunged forward again. Your voice contorted in a growl begging for his blood.

He had gotten here too late, you were already a blood breed. Bitten 13 times and whipped into a frenzy from lack of victims around you. Klaus felt his soul cracking from having to defend himself from you.

"[Name]! Its me! Its Klaus!" His desperation was falling on deaf ears sadly, "Please! Calm down! We can figure this out together! You aren't like this!"

The longer Klaus fought with you, the worse he felt. The growing realization that you couldn't be reasoned with. That you were gone, replaced by this monstrous creature trying to drink his blood. Klaus knew what he had to do, but he couldn't bring himself to seal you away. But Klaus didn't have a choice.

"Ewigkeit Gefängnis!"

Klaus hit his knees, catching the cross that contained your soul. The fading echo of your scream still ringing in his ears. He knew sealing a blood breed hurt the creature, and thinking that the last thing he had done was hurt you.

It killed Klaus.

"Well, well, well. Seems not every fanghunter is very strong then." Klaus's head snapped up, tears still thick under his glasses, "That one was absolutely weak for example. Turning them was so easy and yet. Hm, I can't help but feel they should have put up more of a fight."

Klaus felt like his body was on auto pilot. Another blood breed. This one insulting him, insulting his beloved. How dare this thing call you weak!

Klaus didn't register the movement of his body. He didn't feel the pains of being thrown around. He didn't notice when he dropped your cross by the door. All he saw, all he knew, was red...rip this blood breed limb from limb. Make it suffer for what it did to you. Make sure it couldn't do anything like that again.

Steven and Leo entering the room, drawn by the dull roaring of anguish and heavy slams stopped in the door. Klaus looked monstrous himself. Relentlessly attacking the blood breed, no matter how much blood spilled from his veins.

When Steven looked down, he noticed a cross. His eyes widened, putting the pieces together so quickly he couldn't even blame Klaus for his rage. While Steven knew talking sense into Klaus was pointless, they couldn't let him continue this blood soaked rage.

And Leo, not bothering to look for the whole story before getting the job done, had calmed Klaus in an instant. Sending him the name of the blood breed over text.

Klaus wasted no time sealing the creature away. Giving it the exact same fate it had sent his lover to. And standing extremely still afterwards. Shaking with rage, pent up frustrations that slowly dissolved into immense grief. He lost you. No victory so close to that event would ever feel like a true victory.

Steven was slow to approach his red-haired friend. Even in offering him the cross that held you trapped inside. Steven couldn't keep himself from fearing the man that had gone from feral beast to deadly calm in a matter of seconds. Though that was short lived as Klaus hit his knees again. Clutching your cross and sobbing uncontrollably.

When he finally was home, Klaus just laid there. Wishing this had played out some other way. If he had been faster, if he had done more. Would you still?

He turned to your empty pillow, laying your cross on the soft surface. Tears leaking out of his eyes as he fell asleep due to just how tired he was.

Klaus was standing in a large open field. A lone tree over a bridge and a figure sitting in its shade. There was nothing else he could do except approach.

"Uh, excuse me?" Klaus reached out to get the other's attention, each step slow and tentative, "Hello? Where are we?"

Klaus stopped, when the figure rose. He couldn't stop himself from sprinting full speed, fumbling his attempt to hug you. His knees buried in the dirt as he clung to your waist like a child. You patted his back slowly.

"I... I'm so sorry [Name]. I... I should have..."

"Shh, you did everything you could Klaus." His tear stained face looked up at you, taking in every tiny detail, "I can rest. I'm no longer a monster. I can go on because of you."

Klaus leaned into your hand as you brushed away his bangs. Trying to hold your hand against his face. Knowing this was just a dream, but wanting so badly for it to be real. Wishing he could bring you back with him. If only...

Uncertainty [Klaus x Reader]

You stood there blinking. You heard Klaus correctly, didn't you? He was in love with you, of all people he liked you...

"Uh... I..." You struggled to find the right words, "Please don't take this the wrong way, but... I don't know if I feel the same about you."

You somehow managed to look up at Klaus, worried he would be upset at you. It wasn't like he asked a week after, he had waited five months to say anything. But his face was unreadable. Should you...talk more?

You cleared your throat, "Um, what I mean is that I don't want to rush into this without knowing how I feel. I just got use to being around you as a friend. I don't want to risk jeopardizing that because I didn't actually feel the same way. You know?"

Klaus focused on your eyes. That sound of uneasy and doubtfulness. Yet what he was hearing was exactly how he felt these past months. And Klaus couldn't blame you for wanting to take your time figuring this out.

"Of course [Name]." He pressed a respectful kiss to your knuckles, "I understand where you're coming from. I don't mind waiting to for you to figure it out for yourself. I sincerely want you to take all the time you may need for this."

You felt terrible for rejecting Klaus like that. Even if it wasn't a real rejection. But you hadn't been thinking about that at all. You honestly believed Klaus could do better. That he'd be happier with someone else.

Regardless of how similar you two were.

And you stewed over that, making sure that what you wanted was Klaus's happiness over your own. Considering the confession on it's own had blind-sided you with an unexpected rush of joy and longing.

It didn't even register how long you were making Klaus wait. Not that you thought he'd wait around forever. But before you knew it, it was December. And you barely had an answer.

What was he going to think? Had he already given up on you? He definitely deserved better than you.

A Few of My Favorite Things [Klaus x Reader]

This adorable little fic was requested by anonymous 😍

You were wondering through the green room in the house. You could have sworn you heard Klaus talking, but to who?

Turning a corner, there was no phone, no other person. Nothing, technically, for Klaus to be talking to. And yet he seemed to be unable to stop himself from, whatever monologue he thought up.

"I truly have had the most luck in finding these Daylily bulbs." He wasn't paying you the least bit of attention even as you stopped hiding behind the potted Bird of paradise, "Once they flower this season, the green house will have such color. Perhaps I'll spread a few extra planting boxes to the rest of the house. Surely [Name] would like the array of colors."

You kept quiet all the same, hanging back a few feet. You've never heard Klaus talk out loud about his plants before. It was really adorable.

"Hm, I believe it would be best to move these Yucca closer to the window. They've been rather wilted looking. Perhaps I should invest in larger pots for them as well. Though if I remove the Aloe Vera from the box by the heater..."

Klaus turned suddenly, but still didn't register you there. Of course you moved, but you were certain he would have caught the movement.

"Then again, the Yucca are more adapted to desert climates. I should simply give them a couple days without water and see if that helps." Klaus stopped by the potted trellis, "Oh, yes. I was going to attempt to grow some Morning Glories this year. I should get the seeds, or maybe a small sapling before the month is out."

Oh this was precious! Klaus just lost in his own little world. Yet, his train of thought seemed to leave the plants behind.

"I don't think I've played much Prosfair as of late. Perhaps a quick game before bed tonight?" Klaus picked up a watering can, "That or several rounds of chess. The computer AI is fairly sophisticated at least. Would make for a decent challenge."

You felt your phone buzz, since you didn't ever remember to raise the volume from work, and you found it really distracting going off from random spam calls and texts throughout the day.

But this was from Steven.

"I should have said something sooner, that's my bad. Klaus was hit with a blabbing spell earlier today. He won't be able to tell that he's talking out loud. I didn't think it would be a problem, but I still should have told you sooner."

You sent a quick text back.

"That explains why he's talking to himself right now. Thanks Stevie."

"Please stop with the 'Stevie' stuff?"

"Nope, sorry Stevie"

You would probably annoy Steven to death with that, but that's what he gets for being the third Steven you knew. Klaus however had gone on to his tiny roped off nursery of single potted plants. Where he kept small cacti and flowers that bloomed best in tiny clusters. And you stayed just outside his line of sight as he kept talking.

"Hm, there's a small holiday coming up. Maybe I should ask if [Name] would like to make a day of it?" Klaus stopped and shook his head, "No, there shouldn't need to be a reason to spend a day together. Though I should ask if they'd at least sit in the kitchen with me while I bake some pastries. But what kind? A strudel sounds nice. Or maybe small fruit filled tarts."

You were no good in the kitchen, but if Klaus did act on this thought pattern, you'd be happy to oblige. But you could never admit to listening in on Klaus like this. Instead sneaking away, back to what you were doing before. Leave Klaus to his spoken thoughts.

Say It [Raju x Reader]

This adorable fic was requested by anonymous 💘

Raju was still getting use to having a place to return to, let alone a significant other. Yet, it was nice. He didn't have to worry about setting up or seeking shelter as much anymore. And you happened to be a very good cook, at least in terms of a modern kitchen cook.

Though in relaxing next to you, Raju felt a bit odd. He wasn't entirely certain what he felt. He was certainly attached to you. Between soft kisses and warm hugs, he knew he would be devastated if anything happened to you. But he still didn't know what this emotion was called. And at this point, he was too afraid to ask.

But he enjoyed you being so close, resting your head against his shoulder. Having someone trust him enough to relax to this degree was extremely cozy. Raju couldn't keep himself from gently combing your hair with his hand. Unknowingly lulling you to sleep faster.

The gentle squeeze you gave caught Raju's attention, "Is something wrong?"

"Hmmp mmmm" You nuzzled closer, just wanting to cuddle, "I love you."

Raju blinked, stunned by how... naturally that came from you. He knew you were falling into a deep sleep and that fact made him giddy. But saying you loved him? Was that this feeling? Wanting to be physically near someone? Or was it being emotionally close with...

Raju decided not to over analyze this. You admitted to wanting him around, and that was enough.

Raju carefully brushed a little hair out of your face. Kissing your forehead and whispering, "I love you too."

Calamity [Zapp x Reader]

Damn he was getting to good at this. Now to just make sure his sexy, bad-ss lover saw him.

Zapp dropped his lighter, seeing that dark stain in your chest. The burn marks around the open wound and you holding the blood sword... his blood sword... A few inches away from your chest.

Zapp couldn't tell if he was frozen to the spot or moving to your side. Either way, he fell to his knees before you could hit the ground. Cradling your limp body close.

F-ck, f-ck. This was his fault. And who knows how long it would take for you to heal. Regardless, he didn't leave the hospital until he saw you.

God he wished he had left.

Seeing you strapped up to all these machines was harrowing. Knowing it was his fault you were in here. Zapp had to remind himself not to curl up in the bed with you because all these tubes and wires were keeping you alive.

Zapp had to ease his frustration somehow. Eight months of absolute efficient fighting and spending his nights at your bed side had him torn up, badly. He couldn't take the guilt knowing he did this to you. But he also couldn't stay away, not after everything you went through together.

"Mr. Renfro." Zapp looked up at the tiny doc, "I'm afraid there isn't anything more we can do for them. We have to pull the plug tomorrow. I can at least give you enough time to say your final words, but..."

Zapp nodded. Borderline anger across his face as he looked at you. He stood up, unable to face this reality anymore.

But booze tasted like sh-t and there wasn't a single person who could take your place tonight. Instead, Zapp laid in bed, waiting for sleep to take him. For that same dream... that same nightmare... to invade his thoughts. One where you didn't even make it to the hospital, instead erupting into flames.

Zapp was tired of the constant reminders from everyone to go to the hospital. He didn't want to see them pull the plug. If he stayed away, that tiny doc said, then maybe if he stayed away, you could...

Dr. Estevez hung up from the voice mailbox. She couldn't delay this forever. And if Zapp wasn't coming in, then well, she had no other choice.

She nodded at Dr. Gunther. The cold beep of the machines hurt her, hurt them all. This had to be the worst part of the job.

Zapp came in the next day, wanting to see you again. Half convinced his absence had helped. But, Dr. Estevez handed him the paperwork showing time of death and they're final recorded state of health.

"I... no..." Zapp didn't want to admit to it, "They... can't..."

"You can sit in the room if that would help?"

Zapp sat in the empty room. Shaking hands going through his hair and salty, bitter, hot tears pooling on the floor. This had been his fault, even the breathless apologies were too little too late. He just wanted you back... he give anything for it really.

Omg Leo and kiss prompt 45 pls!! He’s such a sweet boy I’m literally in love

Guuuuurl (GN) same. Poor sweet boi has my heart.

45. A kiss on the hipbone

You were relaxing, all stretched out over the couch with Leo. You sat at one end, Leo stretched across the rest of the couch, his head resting in your lap. With him finally able to take a break from both jobs, the two of you decided to stay in as much as you could today.

And several rounds of racing games was the perfect way to unwind. Though you were a bit better at this than Leo was, sniping him in the final stretch and passing to claim first place. But Leo wasn't that upset about it. He got to hear you laughing and see you smile, even if it was at his expense.

He turned inward, just a little too lovestruck to keep watching you between races. Instead surprising you with a soft kiss over your clothes, right around your hip bone.
