Dave Umbrella Academy - Tumblr Posts

I really hope that we'll get to see more of klaus in Vietnam, there's so much material to work on

A friendly reminder

Klaus still had to fight after Dave was shot? He wouldn’t have had the brief case with him at the front lines.

Klaus’ greiving would have been cut short by the fact that they were mid-fight? That Dave’s body would have stayed next to him for quite some time before the body would be moved.

Klaus probably wouldn’t have gotten to actually bury Dave? His name would most likely have been put on an (empty) mass grave.

Klaus would have been surrounded by ghosts far more than usual during he entire time he was at war.

Im:in love

Klaus x Dave Headcanons

Just some ideas I have, some will be included in my fanfic about Umbrella Academy but for now we have these. Since Dave has been confirmed a Jew, I’m going to include some stuff about that in these, in school we have to study RE (Religious Education) and for my GCSE, Judaism is a topic. I’m not an expert so if I get something wrong please tell me. Anyway, enjoy!

Klaus and Dave become really close really quickly, and once Dave realises that he’s not trained at all he quickly decides to train him whenever he can to stop Klaus from being embarrassed or punished by the Sergant

They start with drill and marching, then to shooting and rifle deconstruction, eventually to hand-to-hand contact

You can guess how much sexual tension is in the air when they start on hand-to-hand combat

When Klaus pulls off a move that they’ve been working on for a while, Dave lifts him up and they almost kiss there and then until they notice the others surrounding them

All of this initial training happens over the first month Klaus is there

After this the infamous Disco Scene happens when they have a weekend of leave and the two stay in quiet corners stealing kisses all night long

Sometime in the next month, the pair are on watch, Klaus is having a hard time with his powers due to him having to be sober to be on watch (not sure if this accurate but hey-ho I need a reason for this headcanon)

Dave realises this and talks to Klaus, asking what’s wrong and saying that being on watch can be more scary than actual battles

Klaus ends up telling him about his family and their powers (getting a response from Dave along the lines of “Like Superman?”), starting with Luther, skipping himself and ending up by saying that Vanya’s not got powers (even though we know she has now)

They go quiet until Dave asks what Klaus’ power is, he tells him with tears down his face until Dave simply replies, “Here must be hell for you then,” and listens to Klaus explain that a vietnamese soldier whose arm has been blown off is screaming angrily at him

Dave comforts him and makes him laugh as they sit in muddy trench and cautiously listen to the sounds of shooting in the distance

After 2 months of being in Vietnam, Klaus and Dave spend three days of their week leave in a cheap hotel room spending time together and having sex for the first time

They watch game shows and soap operas in the day and eat food, talk about their lives and have sex at night

On various occasions, Dave begins to teach Klaus about Judaism due to him wanting to know something that’s such a big part of his life, he teaches him about Kosher food, the Sabbath, Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Passover, Worship and all other things about Judaism

Dave gets a wonderful look on his face when he’s explaining all of this which Klaus loves because he gets this look in his eyes that make it impossible to look away or not pay attention

A few months later, they have a few days leave again, Klaus decides to surprise Dave by preparing everything needed (or good enough substitutes) to celebrate the Sabbath

Dave is obviously so amazed and appreciative of this and almost cries because he hasn’t been able to celebrate the Sabbath properly in months

They play board games they bought in second-hand shops and read in between talking about their plans for the future and more about Judaism

My final headcanon is set maybe after Klaus has been in Vietnam for 9 months and decides that his relationship with Dave is strong enough to tell him about the whole time-travel business- cause you encounter some weird things when you’re in a war

Obviously it takes a while of explanation and time to sink in but the questions come along the lines of “Why did you stay?” And “When are you from?” All of which Klaus explains

This all takes place in the back of a bus where they’re some of the only ones who are left awake in the middle of the night

Also, over the 10 months, the couple get their tattoos that have been confirmed, they get some while high or drunk but they all have sentiment behind them

Finally, nicknames! I like to think that they call each other by bird names so Klaus calls Dave Starling and Dave calls Klaus Kookaburra, maybe Dave calls him a few nicknames in Hebrew that he’s learnt or that he remembers his parents calling each other like Matok, Hamud or Yakiri and Klaus may call Dave things in German or Spanish like Cariño, Dulzura or Liebling

Hope you liked these, I sure did, and look out for my fanfic Break On Through (To The Other Side) on my AO3 account whenever that comes out
