Saving You (Klaus X Reader) - Part 2

Saving you (Klaus x reader) - Part 2

Damn, this part wasn’t my best but I have some ideas for later I can’t wait to write them.  Klaus was actually nervous and playing with his fingers. He was standing in front of your door and he had to admit it, it was weird. Meeting someone when you're trying to buy drugs, drinking a coffee then going to their house. Weird. But he was the one to suggest it and he wanted to get to know you better, so it'd be a good start. Ben tried to talk to him and make him move. “Klaus, you've been standing there for 4 minutes.” “I know, I know ! It's just... Do you think I should tell her about the Hargreeves' name ?” “It's up to you really, but it's probably better to be honest right from the start.” “Do you think she'd freak out ?” And you were cleaning a little bit when you heard his voice. You checked by the window and saw him talk to... No one ? You went to open the door. “Klaus, are you alright ?” He seemed to be caught off guard. “Hi lovely ! Wasn't sure I got the right place.” “Yes it is. A little small I guess, but it's enough for me. Come in.” If curiosity could really kill the cat, Klaus would have been dead a long time ago. He saw all the papers you've mentionned in a big sheet stack and was drawned to it. How could someone have so many ideas ? He almost wanted to be inside your brain to understand how it was working and what kind of ideas you had. You saw him and couldn't repress a smile. “Later, I'll let you read one if you're nice.” “I'm always nice darling, can't you tell ?” “I'm not so sure about it yet !” “Ouch. That hurts.” He almost stumbled on a few books as well. You were indeed really messy but he thought it was funny. He gave a quick look to the apartement. There were drawings, writings, a piano and many books. You definitly were an artist and in a way, it made sense. He felt that you were kinda special while you were talking in the coffee shop. You seemed genuinly concerned about the world, about culture, and also about him. He liked the feeling, being important for a few minutes in someone's eyes. Ben was always by his side but it was different because you were a stranger. He ploped down on the sofa after kicking his shoes off, and crossed his legs, putting his jaw against the back of his hand. “Y/N ?” “Yeah ?” You came back with waffles. Klaus' eyes lit up. “You made waffles ! How did you know I love it ?” He screamed with pure happiness, clapping his hands together. You chuckled. “I didn't know you were like 5 years old. And to be honest, who doesn't love waffles ?” “You're totally right, no one ! I mean, even my brother Diego who's like “let's not eat too much sugar cause my body is a temple” comes with us once in a while to eat waffles !” He made a deep voice while saying this. Ben, was a little bit jealous. You couldn't possibly know that he was here but he also wanted waffles. How unfair was this situation ! Klaus was literally eating like a kid. He even had some chocolate on his cheek when he was done. You realised that he was actually pretty cute. “Thanks. I didn't eat something like this in years !“ “It's alright, really. I'm doing waffles like every week.” Suddenly, he thought he found heaven. “I can have some next time as well ?” “Yeah, it's not a big deal really.” Then Klaus'face went darker. He seemed to be realising something important. “Oh, but I might be busy for the rest of the week and next week too, it'll have to wait a little bit.” “You'll enjoy it even more then !” He was thinking, but he couldn't share what was on his mind with you. He'll be tortured and Diego's bloody girlfriend will be killed. Those weeks were going to be complicated. He started to play with his fingers.  You saw that he was struggling with his thoughts, he was nervous and you wanted to cheer him up. “I didn't know either that you paint your feet's nails. That's pretty cool ! And you have such a unique style.”He looked at you, then at his feets and smiled. “I'm awesome, I have to keep it that way ! Even my feet deserve to be fashionable.” “Well, I'm mostly jealous of your pants.” “Obviously, everyone is. I never lend them but as you made waffles, sometimes we can swap clothes if you want. Your shorts are cool too.” Ten minutes later, you were in Klaus' pants looking in a miror and he was wearing one of your shorts with fishnet tights under. He had nice legs, you'd give him that. “I'll be right back, need to find a matching t-shirt.” You trusted him enough to let him alone in your living room for a few minutes. You just had this feeling. When you came back though, you were a little bit taken aback to see him talking alone. “No, Ben, no waffles.”He sighed. “No way, I told you it's a no. Not here, later I swear. Well, that's true, but... No.” Then, something even more surprising happened. Someone else just appeared next to Klaus and started eating waffles.   “Oh my god Ben, don't do that here !” Klaus didn't seem to notice you, neither that Ben guy. You could see that he was talking to Klaus but couldn't hear a word. “No ! I don't ! I have no clue how to use this shit, it's still very new to me !” You dropped your phone and both Klaus and Ben stared at you. “Y/N ? Oh dear god, I can explain.” You made him shush and got close to Ben. “You're not really here ? What is happening ? Who are you ?” You put your hand through him and backed off suddenly, Klaus thought you were scared, so he tried to speak but you did it first. “Oh my god, I'm so sorry. It was rude.” They exchanged a look and start smiling. “(Y/N), he's my brother, Ben. But he died so now, he's stuck with me.” “Hi Ben. I didn't expect another visitor to be honest, but you're welcome.” He greeted you with his hand. Then you turned to Klaus, put your hands on your hips and raised an eyebrow.  “I want some explainations young man.” “I'd probably ask the same thing if I was meeting someone else this way. Fair enough I guess, but you know, it's really boring. I mean, my family's boring and annoying. Pff ! Don't we all have an asshole as a father, a mother who's a robot and a nanny who's a weird monkey ? And my brothers and sisters, jeez. We're seven, so we can't get along all the time for sure, we fight all the time.” You stared at him and couldn't believe your ears. “Alright.” He gestured for you to sit, which you did without a word. “Let's start with the beginning.” He started explaining everything, too tired to keep this for himself. Hargreeves was definitly a name you've heard before. The Umbrella Academy too, but you never expected to meet one of them. Klaus wasn't exactly what you had in mind when thinking about superheroes but it all made sense. The drugs, the alcohol and the ghosts. You felt bad for him but you also got a little bit scared, you had to admit. You tried not to show it, because obviously this guy didn't need people to run away from him but it still was a lot to take.Klaus was watching you, waiting for you to say something. He had the feeling he could tell you everything already, maybe he was wrong. Once again, he hated his powers. It just made his life more complicated and Ben was invisible to you again, he was leaving him alone on this. He sighed, undressing himself to give you back your clothes, but you put a hand on his wrist. “Oh god, what are you doing ?” “Uh ? Giving it back ?” You looked at him and thought. Klaus was waiting for you to explain your reaction, but you took a huge decision. You didn't want him to leave like that. You wanted to stick with him in this madness. The feeling just got stronger every minutes since you met him, so you had to give it a chance. “You have to stay a little bit more. You didn't even finish the story yet, what about this apocalypse thing ? You just can't leave my on such a cliffhanger !” He allowed himself to smile and dropped back on the couch. “You see darling, I don't know the end of the story yet. But I'll tell you for sure !” “But, does it mean that I may die and you'll rewind the time ?” “Yeah, maybe. Actually, probably, we kinda suck at saving the world. But, what kind of fucked up superheroes are we ? I mean, I'm talking to ghosts and my sister can spread rumors. It's not even impressve !” You stayed silent again, Klaus began to panic and wanted to slap himself. He told you that you would die, that was the dumbest thing he could do. “Oh but maybe not ! Don't worry, we'll find a way...” “Klaus, promise me something ?” “If you make more waffles, anything. I'd kill someone if you want.” “If you rewind, try to meet me again, please ?” He was expecting everything but not this.  Someone wanted to know him ? Someone who knew he was a bit of a weirdo was asking him to stay in her life ? He gulped. It was mean to be an adventure, he wanted to try something new and have a little bit of fun but it was becoming more serious than what he intended. He wanted to explain to you how it could be complicate, that he and his family might try other paths to save the world and he may never be able to. But he couldn't tell you that and frankly, he didn't want to. “I swear, pinky promise.”

Saving you

I’ll probably do a part 3 for The Family’s little secret, but I had an other idea and wanted to start it as well. Still a Klaus x Reader as I’m deeply in love with him at the moment. Taking place after Season 1. Have a nice reading :) 

Again. It was the same shit, all over again. His siblings – well, especially number 5 – rewinded the time and tried to save the whole world. They failed every single time.

Superheroes, my ass, Klaus thought.

The first rewind, they totally fucked up. They tried to hide everything from Vanya, killed Harold and ended with Vanya discovering everything and killing Luther and Diego before starting the Apocalypse. They rewinded and then, they discovered that, if they change something in the past, their memories could be altered. That broke Klaus’ heart. He had to go back and meet Dave everytime if he didn’t want to forget him. If he was completely honest, he’d say he was really happy to see him again. But then, he had to lose him again and again and there was nothing he could do about it. He tried though. He saved Dave’s life but history completely changed and the war didn’t even have the same issue, so his siblings got pretty mad at him and they rewinded, again.

The worst part maybe was they also had to see Ben die, again. When they did save him, he died the same way a few days later. As if his own power was ment to destroy him at some point.

Klaus was sick of it. He wanted everything to stop. He almost thought about letting the world down and just die peacefully. He just got out of rehab. He tried to stay sober the first two times, but he died both times because of some stupid accidents. Now he was literally depressed. Dad was dead -again-, everyone was back at the academy except for Vanya because they still weren’t sure what they had to do about her and they were all making some stupid plans, which, probably, won’t work.

He grabbed some money in his pants and ran to the drug dealer. Really, he didn’t even want to try anymore and it was as if he was supposed to be a complete mess anyway.

So be it, he thought.

When he was about to hand over the money though, something changed. Maybe it was the first time he took so much time to leave the rehab, so some events would probably be different now. Great. Someone he never saw before, grabbed his wrist.

“Don’t do that to yourself.”

He blinked. Why would someone he didn’t even know do that ? The drug dealer turned back to him.

“Is she causing you trouble ?”

Klaus was speechless for a second, you flashed a bright smile.

“I’m his cousin, and he made me a promise.”

The dealer waited for Klaus to say something. He waved it of.

“Er yeah, she’s totally my cousin. Dear cousin, what are you even doing here ? I’ve not seen you since Christmas ?”

“I was on a business trip. Let’s go.”

You dragged him away before he could react, not releasing his wrist. You didn’t know why either. You usually were too shy to interfere, but this time, when you saw that guy, you felt something weird. There were definitly some good vibes about him and you wanted to know why, which you couldn’t if the guy was high.

“Honey, I’m very flattered, but who are you ?”

You turned to him, realising that you kept walking without introducing yourself to the man you were dragging with you nor asking him who he was.

“Oh, sorry ! (Y/N). What’s your name ?”

“Klaus.” He hesitated for a second. Not sure if he should tell you his last name. It was kinda strange for him to have someone doing something to help him.

“I’m sorry. It’s not my business, really I know. But you still have that bracelet… Just got out of rehab ? I thought it was really dangerous for you to just start again right after leaving the center. I’m really sorry though.”

He felt a bit mad to be honest. He wanted to be high, badly. You were a stranger and couldn’t possibly know that he was living hell and just felt like he deserved to be able not to feel anything anymore. Then again, there was something special in this meeting and he was thinking about giving it a try. You just let go of his wrist and seemed a bit surprised.

“What ?”

“Do I…Have we already met ?”

Klaus was positive you hadn’t.

“I don’t think so. Doesn’t ring a bell. Or I don’t know, do you often go to parties ?”

Maybe he met you when he wasn’t really conscious ? You laughed a little bit.

“No, never. I’m not an outgoing person… Let’s say I don’t even leave my home more than necessary.”

“Oh. Then I guess not ! But nice to meet you. And where did you plan on taking me ? I mean, I won’t say no to anything and I like to be a little surprised but I need to be sure that you don’t intend to kill me in a dark alley. The world needs me !”

He winked, you blushed lightly.

“I just prevented you from taking drugs, you can already tell I don’t want to hurt you. But you got a point, I don’t know where we’re going. There’s a coffee shop down this road though, would you come with me ?”

The junkie shruged his shoulders. He was more than ready to try some new adventures. You seemed nice and he didn’t want to go back to the academy right now.

“Sure. Got nothing better to do at the moment. Wait, weren’t you outside for a reason ?”

“Oh yeah, right. I wanted to buy a few things, I don’t even have pasta anymore, can you believe that ? I might die this week ! But I can do that later.”

Klaus decided he likes you and since Ben seemed to agree with him, he liked you even more. You talked about anything and everything really. You didn’t even feel like a stranger to him. It was the most casual chat possible. You talked about your job and your passions and he told you a few stories about his love life and some events at the previous parties he went. To be honest, he didn’t want to tell you about the whole umbrella academy stuff. It was nice to talk about random stuff and not mention the whole “saving the world” thing.

He also appreciated the fact that you payed for his coffee, eventhough you obviously knew he had money – to buy drugs-. He made a mental note to do something for you in return. You started to get up, it made him realise he was a bit sad to leave you and not be sure wheter he would see you again. He wanted to ask you your number but didn’t know if you’d think he was some sort of creepy guy.

“I have to go now, but please don’t go buy this shit again. I can tell you’re better than that.”

“Alright, but I want a date.”

He didn’t know why the hell he saied that. He heard Ben caughing in the background. Worst way to ask for a date, for sure. He could tell you were surprised as well but you still gave him your phone.

“Give me your number, I’ll call you and we’ll see then.”

It took him 5 whole seconds to blink and realise you actually agreed.

“You’re serious ?”

“What ? You’re asking me out but don’t really want a yes as an answer ?”

He shook his head.

“Of course I wanted a yes, I just didn’t think it would work.”

He was glad to give you back your phone with his number in it though. Now it was your turn to make a move and call him. He didn’t know if he just wanted to chat or just hang out but spending time with you was nice and that was all that matters.

When he got back to the academy, Five was the first to say something.

“You’re not high and unusually happy. What happened ? Did you figure something out?”

“Nop. Nothing at all. Even forgot about all of you for a moment !”

“How’s that supposed to help ?”

“Never saied I was helping you, but I met someone.”

Five sighed and went back in his room, trying to find a way to include Vanya in their next family meeting and drop the news about her power without making her freak out like last time. She already started an Apocalypse just because she got scared once, they didn’t want that to happen again. Especially since it almost killed Five and then, it would have been game over for real.

Klaus expected to wait a few days before hearing about you again. He was wrong. He intended to take a nice bath to chill, took his phone to listen to some musics, play with the water and try to empty his mind but the phone started to ring. When he looked up, it was a number he never saw.

“Hi ?”

“Klaus !”

It made him happy that you called him right after the coffee. It did mean that you wanted to see him again just as much as he did, right ?

“I knew you couldn’t live without me anymore darling.”

“Aw. How’d you guess ?”

“I have this effect on people.”

“Then I’m lucky you picked up !”

“Indeed. What can I do for you ?”

“I’m working late monday and the day after. But is wednesday fine to hang out ?”

He was actually drawing with the bath bubbles and tried to think. He would be kidnapped in a week and will meet Dave, but he was free this wednesday. He could try to think about something else before all this shit goes down.

“Yeah, I’m in. Could we go to your place ? I don’t really have one myself and if we go outside…”

She cut him off.

“Don’t worry, that’s perfectly fine. I just neet to clean this mess…”

He laughed realising he didn’t picture her as messy at all. But you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover.

“Don’t make fun of me !”

“Oh I won’t. If there is embarassing stuff, you don’t have to hide it.”

You could almost hear his cheshire grin on the phone.

“Erm. There is actually a lot of papers on the ground and even on the bed. I write stories but my ideas come at the worst moment.”

“Oh really ? You’d let me read one ?”

“Mayyyyybe. We’ll see.”

He was curious. To be honest, reading wasn’t something he liked that much, but something told him he’d enjoy it if it was from you.

“Then I’ll see you wednesday yeah ?”

“Yes. Have a nice evening Klaus !”

“You too !”

Did he know, it was the beginning of a true friendship. Well, somehow, a part of him was telling him that he’d probably change history to know you better and it was worth it.

Hi, just wanted to say I really liked The family’s little secret, will you do a part 2?🌻✨

Hi ! Yes there Will be ! I ll probably type it tomorrow as i already know where i m going with this. Thanks for reading, i appreciate it a lot ! Means a lot To me.

Saving you (Klaus x reader) - Part 3

This part is a bit sad. There is a mention of death (but well, you’ll see). Klaus had never been this happy in his life. He spent as much time as he could with you before getting kidnapped. Well of course, being tortured and having to deal with the war and Dave wasn't the best part of it, but this time, when he came back, he took a shower and got ready to spend time with you again. You didn't see him for two days and wrote some stories on your own while he was busy. Thinking about him was actually warming, Klaus was in your life for less than a week and was already really important to you. You kept texting. For some reasons, he couldn't answer all the time, but he did his best. He mentioned is family being in trouble and told you he'll come right away when this was all over. You didn't know what he was up to but you made a promise, today you'll make some waffles for him.  When he came in, you could feel that something was wrong but he was genuinely happy to see you so you didn't push him. He greeted you with a hug and you both talked about random stuff. Your favourites movies, favourites songs, favourite activities... He talked a little bit more about his family and the Apocalypse. He trusted you, that was obvious. He also mentioned Dave and you were a bit confused. “He was my boyfriend, but he died.” “I'm so sorry Klaus.” “Don't worry, he'll probably be my boyfriend again.” You didn't understand everything. You felt a little bit jealous though but it was for the best to keep it to yourself. He smiled again and start talking about a few parties. Klaus was a little bit surprised when you told him you've never been drunk. It was still hard for him  to stay sober. He didn't take any drugs for a long time but he couldn't spend too much time without drinking at least. It was still too complicated. “Why is it so important to you ? I mean, I'm fine without it, I swear !” Klaus tickled you. He just learned that you were ticklish and clearly intended to abuse it. You kicked him with your feet and start running in your apartment. “It's amazing 'cause it helps to let everything go ! You don't have to think, you just do.” “So what ? I might regret it later !” “No you won't. It'll let you have a great time ! You'll say stuff that won't even make sense so it wouldn't even matter.” “You mean, the best part of being drunk is saying nonsense ?” “Exactly !” “So you don't even need to be drunk ! You already do !” “Ouch. I have feelings you know ? But you might be right.” He caught you and you start fighting to evoid the tickles. “Klaus, I swear to god, if you keep doing this, I'm killing you.” “Ohoh ! I'm a bit curious, how'd you do that ?” Damn it. You didn't have a real plan. “I won't make any waffles.” “No please ! I need it to breath.” He made such a sad puppy face that you start laughing. This guy was definitly bringing some fun into your life. You couldn't tell him but you already fell for his eyes when you met him. There was no way you could say no to him. “Alright, but please don't do this. It's annoying me.” “Let's make a deal then !” He had that scary cheshire grin again. “I'm listening.” “I won't do it again but tonight, we go to a party. And you'll drink.” You sighed heavily. He was just like a little kid, when he had an idea, he couldn't drop it. “I'll give it a shot. But you'll stay by my side  and I wanna go home if this is goes too far, ok ?” “Seems legit, I'll bring you home.” You agreed and went to the kitchen to get the waffles and Klaus looked at you, bewildered. “You already made them !” “Yes.” “You tricked me !” “Indeed. Now eat.” “Yes m'am !” A few hours later, you were indeed at a rave party. This wasn't your “thing” at all but Klaus'smile was worth it. Some people had no idea what “personal space” was so you tried to stay focused on the music and forget about the people. Klaus was enjoying himself a lot. You thought he was doing this to try to forget about the whole world and that Dave guy he mentioned earlier today. Klaus was a nice guy, it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. He was just lost between all those things bigger than him. His powers, his duty, his family. You could understand why he needed to escape from all of this. He came to you with a big smile and a drink, you drank it as fast as you could. “This is disgusting.” “Aw, you'll learn to like it.” “Maybe not, it's just for tonight.” “Alright, alright babe. As you wish, but you'll see. It'll be fun.” He kissed your cheek and took your hand to make you dance with him. He had a weird dance to be honest, but it suited him. You felt awkward so Number 4 got you a few more drinks. He wanted you to let it all out and just have fun. It didn't take long before you acted different so you gave your keys to Klaus. “Just in case.”  He let you dance really close to him. He actually liked it and felt a little excited, he didn't even want to hide it. He had a hand in your hair, that was the only thing you could register at that moment. You start looking at your phone. “I don't want to leave to late, I have stuff to do in the morning.” He groaned. “You're still too serious right now, wait for me.” He left to get you another drink. The more you drank, the more you felt sad but you didn't want to tell him. You were mesmerized by his eyes and wanted nothing more than to cuddle with him. Maybe kiss him. Klaus, sweet Klaus. He fought in a war, lost people he loved and had to save this fucking world. Poor guy, he didn't deserve this. You felt a tear on your cheek and really didn't want him to see it, so when he was bringing you the last drink, you were already nowhere to be seen. You were thinking more and more about him. A little about Dave too. You were dizzy, you didn't even realise where you were going. Klaus could have sworn you've been here a minute ago. Maybe you went to the bathroom ? He waited a little bit but got scared. You were not used to this, unlike him, so he didn't want to lose sight of you. He asked a few people if they saw you, nobody was paying attention. Then he heard a loud scream and ran on the roof. He had a really bad feeling. He couldn't believe it. He dropped the glass which shattered in pieces on the ground. You jumped of the roof. Someone was panicked, next to him, he had to know. “What happened ?” “I don't know, this girl was crying and suddenly, she killed herself. Oh my god, I can't believe I didn't react...” This was a nightmare. He could see the blood and a few broken bones. He was speechless. How ? Was it his fault ? He stopped looking after you, of course it was his fault. Clenching on his own hair, he tried to wake up from this. This couldn't possibly happen. He crossed his arms. His own nails were now digging into his skin. He gave another look then ran out, as fast as he could. When he was outside, he screamed. You made him happy, at least, you made him forget. He didn't know you much, he just had this feeling that you two would get along and you did. Now, you died and it was all because of him. He never hated himself as much as he did at that moment. He walked home. He probably should have called an ambulance or something but he couldn't do that either. He realised he was in front of your house and grabbed your keys. He started crying, he had no clue how to stop. He fell on your couch and didn't make a move. He saw a few papers on the ground. He picked one up and start reading. It didn't make sense right ? You died in front of him and he just walked home to read. He was just hoping for this to never happen. Reading your stories was as if you were telling him a story right now, as if you were next to him. So he read all night. Damn, there was one story in particular, he liked a lot. It was about a revolution. Some androids took advantage of the human race. They made them human cattle, raised humans and killed them when they became adults and took their skin for themselves. They wanted to look human too. The story was focused on one robot who became friends with a little girl, Sarah. Then one day, Sarah wasn't around anymore but the robot woke up with her skin. It was horrific but entertaining. You didn't finish your story. He dropped it, frustrated and still crying. Damn. He covered his eyes with his arm and started to mutter a prayer. He didn't believe in god but he had to ask for forgiveness to you. He should have payed more attention, he should have followed you all the time and... And... He didn't even realise it, but he fell asleep. When he opened his eyes, he regreted it immediately. The shutters were wide open and the light was too bright. He fucking lost you. For real. He wanted nothing more than to be high right now. How was he supposed to save the world when he killed the only person he actually wanted to help ? He had to get high. Or to wake up. Wait. Wake up ? He got up, fast, laughing like a mad man. He grabbed a waffle and made a sign to poor Ben, who didn't even talk, asking him to shut up. He'll rewind time again, that was simple in fact. He'll ask his brother Five to rewind time and he won't let you drink. He had to start it all over, but it will be worth it.

The family’s little secret - Part 2

The end of the part 1 was cut when i made some change. I’m putting it back there with part 2. Enjoy !

“The Police. They owned me one. Now, are you staying there ? I mean, it's been years, maybe she doesn't even live there anymore but it's up to you if you want to try.”

He didnt' have to ask twice, Klaus took his jacket and pushed Diego out.

“You need to drive.” “I know. My car is waiting.” “You're my favorite brother.”

He ignored Ben's hurtful look.

Two hours on the road and Diego was really close to killing Klaus now.  He loved his brother and all, plus it was kinda normal that he felt like talking about all this, but he could never shut up.

“Oh god, I remember trying to climb the wall and join her but failed so she did it herself, and she was actually smaller than me. It was both embarassing and hilarious at the same time. Oh ! Oh ! Oh ! And this time when we almost got caught by dad you know ? So I just pushed her under the bed but I hit her head and she had a bruise for a week.”

Diego sighed heavily.

“Yeah, nice friendship you guys used to have. I may start being jealous now.” “Oh ! Come on ! She wasn't even mad.” “But she was crazy to go through all this shit for you.” “You're absolutly right. Can't you go faster ?” “I'm already driving too fast 'cause I can't stand you anymore.” “Thanks !”

Finally. Diego praised the Lord they finally made it. It was a big nice house, with a garden with many trees behind. No wonder, Dad must have gave them a lot of money, Diego thought. Klaus ran out of the car, jumped the barrier and started knocking on the door. When no one answered, he started to panick.

“Oh my god, what if she left ? What if I could never find her again ?”

Diego joined him and hit him on the head.

“It's her family name on the door. Even if she may not be living with her parents anymore, you could still ask them.”

“Oh damn you're right.”

A sudden bark made them look to the left and they saw a big german sheppard running toward them. The dog was probably mad they came here without being invited in the first place. Diego couldn't believe his eyes when he saw his brother starting to climb the wall.

“What on Earth are you doing ?” “Visiting.” “Wait, what ?” “I'll be right back !” “Klaus ! No way, get back here !”

It wasn't the first time that Klaus was doing something like this, he could see it. Diego ran back to the car, while Klaus made it to the rooftop and screamed with joy.

“(Y/N) !”

You didn't expect that. Especially since you were taking a bath with some chilling music in the background. This idiot almost made you have a heart attack. Through the window you could see a cheerful guy waving at you. You panicked, grabbed a towel and start yelling.

“What the hell ? Who are you ? Leave or I'll call the cops !”

The guy must have been a psycho for climbing that high.

“(Y/N) ! It's me !”

Wait. That voice. It was incredibly familiar.

“Oh god. Klaus ? Klaus fucking Hargreeves ?” “It's me sweetie ! Will you let me in ?”

You couldn't believe it. For sure, you missed that guy for years and dreamt about him coming back to you, but you grew up knowing it was impossible. You knew everything, how he forgot about you because of his dad and number 3's powers and after that, you tried your hardest to move on. You really did. Dated a few guys, traveled a lot to see new places. You even did some stuff you should never had but you were desperate. You never succeeded.

“It's been years, and you have to just come through the window, don't you ?”

You started opening it though, still clenching your towel with one hand. He jumped in and started hugging you. With absolutly no shame of the situation.

“Damn, you're red. Was that bath too hot ?” “Klaus. Let me get dressed.” “Alright.”

He wasn't moving at all. You sighed and pushed him.

“Get out ! I'll be right back.” “Oh, by the way, my brothers are downstairs. Ben doesn't need an invitation but can I open the door for Diego ?” “Sure. Just... Don't touch anything. It's not my house.” “Sure thing sweetie !”

Klaus helped Diego to come in, he opened the door and shouted for him to run in. Diego was already tired of this shit but felt like he didn't want to stay in his car anymore. He ran in front of the dog and  they both crashed on the sofa.

“Are you gonna tell me what happened there ?”

Ben was laughing his ass off. Klaus never saw him like that.

“What is wrong with you ?“ “Poor girl, she didn't see it coming.” “Hey ! I'm sure she's happy too ?”

Diego punched him in the arm.

“That's rude ! You're ignoring me to talk to Ben and I don't understand anything !” “This idiot is laughing and I have no clue why, I want to know !”

Somehow, suddenly, Diego could see Ben.

“Klaus just interrupted the girl while she was taking a bath and wasn't ashamed at all to knock on the window.” “So what ? I missed her ! Well. I didn't know before today, but I did !”

Diego put his head in his hands.

“I don't even know how you could make friend in the first place.” “Hey ! I'm very lovable.” “In a weird way, he his.” Ben saied before vanishing again.

You took five whole minutes to catch your breath and think. Then you got dressed and waited to calm down. The very best friend you could never forget was back. He came all the way here to see you. How and why, you didn't know, but right now, you were struggling to stay sane. You wanted nothing more to go downstairs and jump in his arms but it's been a long time. What if you’ll never be friends like you were before ? You took a few more minutes to think about it before you decided you'd never get any answers if you stayed in your room. Your heart was beating really fast but you still made it to the kitchen, grabbing some stuff to eat and drink.

“Guys. You've come a long way, want anything ?”

Klaus answered first, excited as a kid.

“Coffee ! With a lot of sugar !”

 You came through the opening of the door.

“Not sure you need sugar. You're already very... You.” “Thank you ! Coffee is disgusting without it though.” “Fine, you're still such a kid. Diego ?” “Same. Without the sugar please.”

You came back with the drinks and sat with them. After a few minutes of silence, Klaus finally started to talk.

“So ? How are you doing ? Still living with your parents ?” “I'm fine I guess. And no, they're on holidays, they needed someone to keep the dog.” “Which dog ?”

Diego almost spat out his coffee.

“Are you fucking kidding me ?”

The dog started barking outside, as if he was offended himself.

“Oh, that one !”

You started laughing. You got scared for nothing, you realised that. Klaus could never change, that was a fact.

“And you guys ? How've you been ?”

Diego wasn't sure why you were being so friendly with him too. He knew about everything, like his others siblings. They kinda felt responsible for what happened and never tried to make up for it sooner. He could understand why Klaus used to be very found of you and still was now.

“To be honest, I'm tired of this guy. Had to spend a few hours with him in the car so I might leave you two alone to catch up ? I'll get him back tonight.”

Klaus had the saddest look on his face, Diego was pretty sure it was just the same as a kid who was disappointed for Christmas. You smiled.

“It's ok Diego, that was very nice of you to bring him here. Not sure 4 hours or so will be enough though, I have many questions as well. What about you go back to the Umbrella Academy and he'll spend the night here ? Got my drivers licence, I'll drop him off tomorrow.”

Klaus was really close to jump in excitement. His brain didn't remember you, but his heart did, he was sure about it. It felt like being whole again. He hugged Diego, genuinely happy that he made all of this for him. He wasn't sure he could forgive the others this fast.

“Thanks.” “I'll see you tomorrow. You better behave !“ “Always !” “You mean never.” “Maybe.”

You gave him a nod. Number 2 could definitly see that you were happy as well but not really comfortable around him for the moment. That, he could understand. So he left, pretty proud of himself. “(Y/N) ?”

“Yes ?” “You didn't try to find me again after... The thing ? ”“You mean, when they made you forget about me ?” “Yep.” He didn't expect your reaction at all. You were smiling and laughing the second before and now, you had tears in her eyes. He felt guilty but didn't know why. “How can you ask me this ? I mean. I came back, you asked me who I was you know ? Damn, Klaus, that was fucking hard. I didn't even know how Allison's power was working. If I could help  you to remember or if you just never could. I didn't even think it'll be possible that one day you'll come here ! I thought I'd never see you again.” After a few minutes of silence, he put an arm around you, suddenly very serious. “What a shitty dad I had.”  You smiled. “Indeed. So. You must have plenty of stories and I want to hear every single one of them !” He started to think. “Mh. I need to tell you about the end of the world, oh and about Ben ! I can do stuff I never knew I could ! Oh and Dave. I wanna tell you about Dave.” “Was he your new bestfriend ?” “He was my bestfriend and my boyfriend !” You tried really hard to ignore that pain in your heart. For your friendships' sake, you had too. But he must have knew,  because he added something.“But that was very different. You were my bestfriend and my girlfriend. I could paint my nails with you, he never agreed to that.” You punched him slightly in the arm. “What ?” “I was your girlfriend ?” “Oh. I thought you knew.” You were dumbfounded. “Klaus, you're an idiot.” 

The family’s little secret - Part 1

So, it’s my first fanfiction here. Hope it’ll be fine ! I’m french, but really wanted to try something in english.  Klaus x Reader cause he’s such a sweetheart.

So, that was it. The Apocalypse was over, everything went back to normal. The Umbrella Academy wasn't a huge mess and even Vanya felt at peace. She put her violin in its place and grabbed a cup of coffee.It was over and they were all here. Well, kinda. Ben was still a ghost but somehow, they could feel him and sometimes see him.It was sweet to be at home and to have each other back. They didn't have to say it, but they all felt their bonds were stronger now. Family. They never realised they were this close before.

Klaus stretched his muscles. He was really tired and being sober for this long was a miracle. He didn't know how people could do this.

“I guess there is no more secrets left between us now ?”

He was expecting everyone to approve but they all exchanged a weird look he didn't like. Allison was the first to talk.

“There maybe is one last secret. And I have to apologize to you before I start explaining anything.”

They all seemed very guilty and Klaus became anxious. Something wrong was going on.

“Eh. We just saved the world. What could be worst than the Apocalypse itself ? That and this aweful dinner we had yesterday.”Luther put his hand on his shoulder. He gave a look to Allison, asking in silence if she was really sure about it. She gave him a nod.

“You may want to sit down.”

Ben felt awful. He thought this would never come out, that he'd never have to deal with his brother about this topic. He always felt like a traitor, but it was a family decision and he didn't know how to act about it. Klaus' heart was beating fast in his chest. It was hurting him.

“You remember that, you were lonely when you were young ?”

“We all were, right ?”

“Not exactly.”

Vanya was biting her fingers, Diego was watching the wall as if it was the best tv show he ever watched, Number Five litteraly disappeared, probably in another room, and Allison was struggling with her own hands.

“You had a friend.”

“I think I'd remember.”

“No. That's why I wanted to apologize.”

“Sure. Who ? What ? How ? I mean, I'm pretty sure good old daddy wouldn't let us have any friends.”

“He didn't, that's why you don't remember. Well, at first he did.”

“You'll probably need to give me some details now.”

Klaus didn't feel like being his usual joyfull little boy now. Something in his chest was hurting him so bad, he had one big headache on its way and he wanted nothing more than to know this secret and why all his siblings were all acting like that.

“(Y/N)”“Who's this ?”

“Your friend.”

Allison was trying to help, but she also was a bit scared. She never saw Klaus getting angry and this might be the first one he would. Or maybe even worst, he'll get some drugs and try to forget it again.Klaus was struggling hard. This name was familiar. The more he thought about it, the more he could picture a face.

“How.... Eh. Am I high again ? Pretty sure I'm not.”

“No, no you're not.”

Diego took a seat next to Allison. He wanted to get this out and fast.

“You had a friend. She was our neighbor when we were kids.You told me it started when we were like 8 or something. You woke up early 'cause you couldn't sleep and she was in her own kitchen. She also had nightmares or something. Nice start for a friendship I guess.”

That was definitly familiar. Indeed, he saw a little girl through the window, eating some chocolate. She looked really calm and he could have sworn that she was just hungry, but he could still see the moon glowing so it made him wonder. He focused on her and could see that she was shivering.Somehow, he felt a connection. He found some paper and a pen, and wrote really fast, trying to communicate.

“Bad dreams ?”

He stayed there for a few minutes, in front of the window, hoping she'd turned to him. Eventually, she did and was astonished to find someone behind her. The look on her face was priceless.Klaus didn't remember much, but he could see the girl, looking frantically in the kitchen. She also grabbed a paper and start writing back.

“Yes. Some stupid girls at school were trying to lock me up. You ?”

He smiled. He didn't tell her about his powers, but he did explain he was dreaming about ghosts.How could he even forget her ? They didn't spend like 3 days together, it was years.

“I remember this night.”

Luther was nodding.“That's a good start.”

The headache was getting worst. He didn't want to stop now, he had to know. Since he lost Dave, he was pretty sure he'll feel lonely all his life. Now he wasn't sure anymore.Then something hit him and he screamed, making all his siblings jump.

“She was there !”

“What are you talking about ?”

Then everything came back. It was as if he just opened a door in his brain and everything was flooding out.Every night, sneaking in the kitchen to talk. During days, when he had the permission to have fun – and it was only a short period – running in the garden to talk through the fence. She was always there waiting for him. One day, dad locked him up in the mausoleum. He was crying. He should be asleep in his bed or sneaking around to see (y/r) but he was alone with ghosts, scaring the hell out of him. He even thought at some point that he'd rather be dead.Then, he heard light footsteps. The door opened,slightly enough to see the light.

“Klaus ?”

“(Y/N) ?”

“Go out !”

“How'd you find me ?”“Saw your dad going out with you, then coming back without you. You sister was talking about what they were doing to you.”

He was so relieved but he also felt guilty.

“I'm sorry, I can't get out. If father finds out...”

The door closed and his heart missed a beat. He wished she stayed a little bit more. Then a hand grabbed his and he screamed, thinking it was a ghost.

“So, why is your dad doing this to you ? No lies.”

He couldn't believe it. She stayed in this with him ? He must have fallen asleep. As he wasn't answering, she squeezed his hand a little bit harder.

“Klaus, you're with me ?”

It was the first time they were actually this close. They were touching.

“It... It is a long story. I shouldn't tell you...”

“And I shouldn't be here. Still am though.”

“True.”

“Plus, I have time. I'll leave in the morning, don't want to get caught as well and you don't want your dad to know either. Till then, you better have a good story, I don't want to fall asleep.”

Klaus didn't realise it but he was smiling. A spirit in front of him tried to get really close. He closed his eyes, and focused on the hand inside of his.And he told her, everything.

How he and the others were all adopted and raised to be superheroes. How he felt lonely cause none of them could actually act like kids. How he was scared by his own powers.He couldn't see her face but she never let go of him so he thought it was a good sign. And after a few minutes not talking, she wanted to show him she took it all well.

“Your dad sounds worst than mine.”

It actually made him laugh.

“If there was a sort of contest of the worst dad... Well, he'd nailed it.”

“Obviously. He doesn't deserve any of you.”

Klaus realised then in this mausoleum, filled with ghosts, he felt warmer than he ever did at home.

Now, he was waiting. Waiting for the answer.

“How did I ever forget that ? I mean, drugs can't do that to me, right ?”

Diego left the place with a look he couldn't quiete describe. Luther tried to speak up.

“You started to see her often but dad wasn't pleased. He even got mad that it was distracting you from your powers or something. You still grew up with her but at some point, he wanted it over. He payed her family to move far away and made Allison help you forget about her.”

“Oh, that's actually so sweet. Thank you little sister. What did you say ? I heard a rumor that (y/n) never existed ?”

“I heard a rumor that you have always been lonely.”

Klaus got up and went in his room. All of them heard him slam the door shut and angry footsteps. The worst part was everything coming back to him. His whole life was a lie. They grew up, really close. She started passing by everytime she came back from school. She told him about how she hated the people there because some girls were making her life a living hell. But it was all getting better when they were together and he knew that. Someone knocked on the door.

“I'm fucking busy hating you right now, go away.”

“I know you two were close...”

Luther was his usual self. Thinking he is the big leader when he knows nothing.

“Remember when you shagged that girl ?”

Obviously, Luther didn't expect this question.

“I was drunk. Very drunk. I can't remember.”

“I told you that I couldn't remember my first time as well.”

Now he understood where it was going.

“Don't tell me...”

“I do now.”

Klaus had such a deep sadness in his voice. He didn't think he could feel so miserable one day. Yet, here he was, sober but numb at the same time.

Luther was standing behind the door but no words came out. They never wanted to hurt him but somehow, they should have saied no. Especially him, he was the leader. He should have faced dad and refused to be part of it. Or maybe he couldn't... But right now, seeing his brother like this... It was too difficult to admit it.

“Go away.”

“If you need anything...”

“Not you, not now.”

It was hard for them all. Ben wanted to make things right. He was next to his brother and tried to confort him about all of this.

“Maybe she didn't forget you, you know... Actually, she probably didn't.”“That's the worst ! Being abandoned like that ? She probably hates me or something !”

“Or maybe...”

“Maybe shut up ! You knew all of that bullshit !”

He tried to punch him but it went through him. It was making him angrier. He never felt anger toward Ben, that was a first.Another knock on the door.

“You guys can't fucking understand a “leave me alone” ?”

“Instead of staying there, mourning, try to find a solution.” It was Diego's voice.Klaus opened the door, his hair was even more crazy than usually.

 “Have anything to propose I guess ?”

“I got you the new adress. Well, the one she got when she left.” Klaus grabbed the tiny piece of paper. He couldn't believe it.

“How ?”

“The Police. They owned me one. Now, are you staying there ? I mean, it's been years, maybe she doesn't even live there anymore but it's up to you if you want to try.”
