Day 6 [Leo/ Zapp/ Dog]

Day 6 [Leo/ Zapp/ Dog]

Prompt: "You're lucky you didn't get someone killed!"

Leo

This could have gone so much better. Leo should have tried talking you out of that Hail Mary attack. This was just painful to see. The scene replayed in his mind as you lay there, unresponsive in your hospital bed. Who knew how long you'd be passed out like that.

"Run Leo!"

"Huh? Not without you [Name]!"

"Just trust me Leo!" That look in your eye spurred Leo on, "Go! Now!"

He should have argued a little longer. Setting off all that magic at once had drained you completely, and the spells mixed in the worst ways possible. And worst than that was how Steven could just so casually dismiss it.

"Honestly, they just got lucky Klaus." The older dark-haired man sighed, "I mean, [Name] could have gotten someone killed."

Leo could see Klaus nodding from the corner of his eye. Either you or himself could have died, but you didn't. That's all that mattered.

.

Zapp

You could only wish you had Zapp's energy in battle. Sure, you could keep up but he just had some kind of zeal about himself. Maybe it was the literal hot blood he used to fight with.

"Heads up!"

Zapp's voice rang out from maybe twenty yards away, but you could tell that he barely dented the large metal obstruction. Meaning it was just your turn to tear something up.

You smacked it with all your might, blood hammer style was no joke after all. The debris raining down was proof enough of that, though some of it was still too large to not continue to repair itself.

Both you and Zapp kept batting the metal problem around until the core was exposed. Though the damage done across the city was far from ideal. Leading to both of you being scolded like kids.

"You need to be more careful!" Steven was just shy of gritting his teeth, "You could have gotten someone killed! Honestly, we expect Zapp to be like this but [Name]. You're supposed to be the voice of reason for him. Reign him in from time to time, not just blindly go along with the destruction."

Klaus had to lead Steven away before he popped a vein. You really couldn't argue much, for all intents and purposes, Steven was right. Didn't mean you had to like it, or neglect hastily made plans to go get a drink afterwards.

.

Dog

"Exo-Crimson."

You didn't get any kind of warning when Dog landed next to you. A large crater formed under him, causing you to lose your footing and struggle to do anything except flail. But you heard a woman screaming, her baby's carriage had slipped from her grip.

Acting as fast as you could, and losing a shoe in the process, you managed to save the infant, just not the stroller. Though the basket could be replaced, and the mother thanked you as you handed the small swaddled baby back to her, you still couldn't shake the anger rising in the back of your throat.

"Whew. That was close [Name]." Dog picked up your dropped shoe, "Another second and you would've been swarmed."

You couldn't help it, you snapped out of pure stress, "YOU'RE LUCKY YOU DIDN'T GET SOMEONE KILLED!"

Dog held his hands up in surrender, your shoe dangling from his thumb.

"Sugar Pie, c'mon. It wasn't that bad." He stopped just shy of where you stood, "I know I messed up your fighting but that thing was almost on top of you."

"Not me, there was a mother and her baby close by." You gestured to the wreck of a stroller, "I barely saved the kid. Just, please, be more careful. Our job is literally to protect civilians."

Dog's face fell when he noticed the mangled stroller. He really hadn't meant to do that. Boy was he lucky you were right there this time.

Day 7 [Klaus/ Steven/ Lucky]

Prompt: "Please just don't..."

Klaus

You couldn't believe what you were seeing. You shook your head, Klaus wasn't like this. He couldn't hurt a fly. You had to be dreaming, you just had to.

This wasn't his job... was it?

Klaus turned to the sound of your ragged breathing. He hadn't noticed you standing there at all. How much had you seen? Would you believe him if he told you the truth? He was slow to straighten up and walk towards you.

But then you backed away.

Both of you were shaking, different forms of fear clouding over each mind as the silence grew. Klaus didn't want to frighten you, he didn't want you to fear him. But you were absolutely terrified. You just saw Klaus rip a man in half.

You knew he was strong, but he was never vicious. There wasn't much of a reason for Klaus to do so either, not that you knew of.

Klaus attempted to step forward again, hands raised as non-threateningly as he could. His voice wasn't coming out of his mouth at all, no matter how many times he tried to explain. You just witnessed him tearing apart a robotic experiment meant to deceive and infiltrate his office.

"Please just don't!"

Klaus stopped at your request. His heart shattered over just how frightened you were. The pitch of your voice, how you turned and shut your eyes, how badly you were trembling. Klaus was utterly defeated. All because he couldn't find his voice.

He wanted to chase after you, but Klaus was rooted to the spot. Forced to watch you run away from him in fear.

.

Steven

"[Name]. [NAME]!"

Steven latched onto your arm, trying his best to pull you back gently. He hadn't meant what he said, but you were storming off. Steven just wanted to explain himself.

"[Name], please. Will you just listen?" Steven finally caught you, putting himself between you and the door, "Please, just let me explain myself?"

"You lied to me, Steven." You tugged your arm out of his grip, "I don't need an explanation. I need to leave."

"It wasn't a lie!" Steven kept getting in your way, "Listen! I still love you, I've always loved you. I just--"

"Just don't." You weren't very intimidating, despite trying to glare, "You only even went out with me on as a favor to someone else. I heard how you were bemoaning going through with it in the first place so just don't. For both our sakes."

"[Name]!" Steven just barely missed your arm as you slipped past, "[Name]! Please!"

You couldn't run because of the hot, bitter tears falling down your face, but you were determined to lose Steven in the crowded streets of the city. How could you have been so naive to think someone like him would actually want to be with you?

.

Lucky

Blitz was confused, usually, he was merely oblivious but this time having someone so casually walk up and hug you was bizarre. You hated being randomly hugged like that. So then what was this guy doing? And why did you seem not bothered by it?

"Blitz?" You waved a hand in front of his face, "Everything okay?"

"I thought you hated when people did that?" His head turned slowly, "Even when I try you ask me to stop. So what was that about?"

"Oh, that." You shuffled a little, "See, he's a close friend. Not close like that! But he's always... well, he always gives me hugs like that. I've learned not to fuss cause that just makes him hug me more often."

Blitz blinked, looking off to the side. His mind swirling with all the times he was "stubborn" about random hugs. Only for this old friend to be able to just waltz up and do it whenever. That just didn't sit right with the older gentleman.

"Blitz?" You tugged his sleeve nervously, "If it makes you feel--!"

"Please [Name], just don't." Lucky gently pushed your hand away, "I don't think there's anything you can say to make the situation any better at the moment."

"I'm sorry..."

You fell silent at the raised hand, "Just don't. I don't want to hear it, okay?"

Lucky felt horrible seeing you clam up like a small child in trouble, but he was doing his best not to snap. He has been dating you for a while now, and you still hated him giving you random hugs. It felt like you were finally telling Lucky where he really stood in your relationship.

Eldritch Pal [Head Cannon]

Requested by Anonymous 🪬

Klaus tore through everyone and everything with terrifying anger when you went missing

Only served to be more efficient when he discovered by whom and for what purpose you had been targeted

He wakes up easily enough and is always ready to comfort you with tight hugs and promises it won't happen again, he won't let it happen at all

Has done extensive research into the Eldritch being, their powers, average life span within a human vessel, etc.

If he notices you being more distant than usual, he will gently grab your hand

Whatever marks were left by the Cultists in preparation for the ritual are going to be dispelled as soon as he knows how. It doesn't matter how as long as it is done

Should the Cultists attempt to reclaim you, they will find a very angry, extremely protective man snarling at them mere seconds before their deaths

You may or may not be integrated into Libra as a member (unless you were already a member) but he will ask you to stay in the office for your safety, despite any protesting from anyone else

He will explain to Steven why he feels it necessary, particularly if the Cultists figure out remote summoning and manage to achieve their goals anyways

Any trace of the Eldritch being, or things that remind you of it, will be hidden or tossed out as Klaus is a professional worry wart and doesn't want to accidentally trigger any possible PTSD over your situation

He constantly reassures you he loves you and cares about you, no matter what. There is no stopping him from smothering you in cuddles while he does so either.

Klaus would rather you didn't clam up about talking through your emotional state, he wants you to get all your pain and worry out of your system

He will never tell you that your worries are invalid or that things have been taken care of. Rather he will assure you that he won't let anything happen to you again

There will be many moments when Klaus just cups your face to look into your eyes whenever you get stressed out worrying over what-ifs. Along with slow nuzzles, soft kisses, and tight hugs to help you calm down

Refuses to leave you alone with your thoughts for too long as thinking about your fate can accidentally summon the being and complete the ritual

Has given you multiple "you're stronger than you give yourself credit for" speeches along with "struggle towards the light" embedded in each and every one of those speeches

He absolutely does his best to make sure the Cultists are stopped completely. Whether that means being wiped out, burning all their notes (or at least confiscated), or jailed for dangerous practices

Mini Red [Klaus x Reader]

You were barely able to dodge the spells being fired. An artificer had charmed an old Uno Attack Launcher to fling spells with reckless abandon. And worse than that was the fact the device was in a room full of mirrors, meaning the spells would bounce until they hit something non-reflective.

For the most part that was easy enough to force. Scatter some spare papers around and that tended to do the trick. While the spells had been harmless so far, you couldn't be completely sure things would stay that way.

But it wasn't too long before the game piece cracked open, thankfully. Something had broken it, whether it was the number of spells running out or overloading the poor thing. You were just glad the "game" was over. Though something was seriously wrong.

Klaus was missing.

You stood still, scratching your head. You were absolutely certain Klaus had followed you into the trap. You even remembered bumping into him a couple times before he forwent his usual gentleness to get both of you out of the way.

So where was he? Was he just invisible? Had he been teleported away? How were you going to--

"[Name]!"

You heard it almost like a whisper, looking all around at your feet. You could have sworn you heard Klaus. But why would his voice be so faint? Unless he was...

"A little more to the left! On the blue page!"

Kneeling down to level yourself with Klaus was bizarre. You rubbed at your eyes, blinking several times as he half-jogged to get close enough for you to lift. It was just second nature for you to offer him your hand, but never for him to step up into your palm before.

"This is..." Your voice was hardly above a whisper, though from his size you sounded like normal, "I am not drunk enough for this."

Though, holding Klaus in your palm like this activated something in you, almost like a heightened sense of perception. You moved carefully, lifting a pocket flap on your jacket and trying to urge Klaus to slide inside.

"I think you'd be safer in my pocket..." You murmured, "At least until we... uh... Until we get somewhere you can just sorta... uh..."

Klaus looked up at you. Your concern was palpable, making Klaus feel a bit guilty for his poor dodging abilities. The spell had hit him square in the chest, after all, he should have been able to dodge it completely. While he didn't like the idea of riding around in the breast pocket of your jacket, he didn't have much choice in the matter either. The path out of here was rather bumpy and with you being so stressed, the least he could do was make things easier for you.

~~~~~

Standing on his own desk had Klaus feeling some kind of way, and not in a good way. This whole situation was too much for him. All he could do was wait for the spell to wear off. And according to Leo, that would be a few days.

You had gone to the store for some supplies to make things somewhat comfortable for him. If only he had dodged properly then this wouldn't be happening.

Though seeing you walk back into the office gave him a sense of relief. Zapp had been frozen from the waist down a couple times in your absence due to his attempts to kill Klaus. And while Steven was a phenomenal protector, Klaus still felt slightly better with you around. Perhaps it had something to do with being closer than he and Steven were, technically... intimately.

Klaus didn't waste a moment in his attempts to help, trying to pull things from the shopping bag and sort them for you. Though he had to admit, most of these were things he didn't have the faintest idea of how you would turn into a suitable bed for a few days.

Somehow, you had the whole office captivated by what you were doing. Your every move, from cutting up kitchen sponges to poking safety pins into the wrapped fabric to hold it in place. It was a bit unnerving to say the least.

Sure, you expected Klaus to watch you. Especially once you set something down, but Steven looming over you like that was just... eengh.

"Here," You set a finished piece down, "Test this and tell me if it needs adjustments."

Klaus sat in your attempt to make a chair, pleasantly surprised with how it felt. Slightly firm, but also rather comfortable. Odd for a dish sponge, latex gloves, and duster refills. But Klaus could only give his honest opinion.

"It is a bit firm, but it will do." Klaus looked up with a soft smile, unable to accept how concerned you looked, "I assure you, Liebling, this is fine. It is comfortable enough to get through a couple days."

You sighed, "If you're sure... I should have a bed made soon."

"Make a bed!?" Zapp's voice was far too loud for him being so far away, "Just leave one of those stupid sponges down and give him a washcloth! It ain't rocket science brainiac!"

Instead of yelling, as you were prone to doing, you flung the duster wand at him. Whacking him on the side of the temple, leaving a satisfying red mark. Then started working on the bed. Klaus frowned slightly, knowing you wouldn't see it.

Either way, he moved his new little chair closer to his computer. He wouldn't be able to play Prosfair until he was back to normal, but he could enjoy videos and movies as if he had a personal drive-in theatre. If you'd stay nearby, he would be able to truly enjoy the experience.

In truth, you were making things just to have something to do. It wasn't clear if you had anything to do with Klaus being hit by a spell, but you could at least make him a bit more comfortable until he returned to normal. Though you set down the unfinished bed and opened a small doll you'd gotten. The clothes in here should fit Klaus in his new size.

You knew you wouldn't want to stay in your normal clothes for two or three days. So you figured Klaus wouldn't either. Though Klaus was turned and watching intently, he didn't know why you'd gotten a doll at all. Until you set the clothes down next to him.

"I thought you'd want something to change into for the nights." You admitted a little sheepishly, "So you wouldn't have to wear your suit the whole time. I don't really know how comfortable that is for you."

"[Name]," Klaus looked at the clothes then back up at you, "I appreciate this, truly. But you didn't have to go through all this trouble. Zapp is right, a regular kitchen sponge would suffice for a bed. It'll only be two, perhaps three nights at most."

You sighed a little, "I just... I want to make things comfortable for you. It might be my--"

"NO! It isn't. I failed to dodge something aimed directly at my chest. You didn't have a thing to do with it."

"Still. I want to do this. It... it's helping me stay calm."

Klaus rested both his hands on yours. The two of you staring the other in the eyes, mostly. When you raised a shaky finger to attempt to "cup" Klaus's cheek, he leaned against you. Holding you steady as he let you comfort him, knowing it was comforting to you.

And blatantly ignoring where he was and how many people were here.

Thankfully it didn't take too long for you to have a bed you were satisfied with, one that genuinely shocked Klaus with just how comfortable it was. For working with basic cleaning and office supplies, these little doll house amenities were perfect.

Honestly, it didn't take you too long to finish most of what you felt Klaus would need for the wait. Especially since some of the things were just as is with tiny modifications like pinning some plastic into a shower curtain for an opaque container. Though you weren't entirely sure Klaus would be okay with a bath over a shower but after a mission like that he likely would want to clean himself off.

You were staying in the office just so Klaus wouldn't have to stay there by himself. This also had the bonus of Gilbert going to tend the house in the meantime.

But you felt oddly small in Klaus's chair. Even as the two of you watched various videos, nibbling popcorn and sipping hot cocoa. Your mood shift wasn't lost on Klaus, not in the slightest. He too felt the strangeness of the situation settling in. But he would probably die before he let you stew in negative thoughts.

"[Name], Liebling." Klaus stood, turning to you, "Would you please lean down?"

Your voice threatened to crack from how low you were talking, "Is something wrong?"

"No, just please, hold still."

You were confused but obliged, resting your chin on the cold desk. Klaus stepped closer, brushing a few strands of your hair back. Such a simple task had him leaning forward on his toes, and it made your heart squeeze guiltily. But that didn't stop Klaus from kissing your forehead, he couldn't help but admire you.

And from this height, he could see why you were constantly looking up at him.

You tried to relax, for Klaus's sake, but it was difficult. Despite it being back for you, laying down at Klaus's desk so you'd be right there with him was all you wanted. Instead of arguing, or trying to dissuade you, Klaus moved his bed as close as he could to where you were laying your head.

When he did return to normal... he was going to make sure you were pampered as thanks for your efforts. Nothing you could say would deter Klaus after everything.
