Day 7 [Klaus/ Steven/ Lucky]

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.

Little Out of It [Klaus x Reader]

Requested by Anonymous 😢

Klaus had long since spotted the symptoms of his wife's decline. Symptoms of postpartum depression, something Klaus was hoping would be short lived. He thought he had proper preparations, thinking the same issues would arise as they had after the birth of their older daughter.

Sadly, where you had once ate until you were sick, Klaus was now attempting to coax you into eating. Even if it was simply a bit more than last time you attempted to eat. Keeping you company despite your withdrawal, attempting to keep your daughter from thinking you didn't love her anymore. Countless explanations dancing around explaining what depression was to a seven year old. Making sure that your infant son wasn't without parental interaction, as that does lead to complications in development.

Of course Gilbert was a large help with some of these things, namely in getting you to eat something. But Klaus was still running himself ragged. He wanted so desperately to help you, and yet he could feel himself cracking.

Though his determination refused to let him give up. The last thing Klaus wanted to do was give up on the love of his life, the woman who had given him everything he wanted in life.

Klaus settled into the bed behind his wife, curling his arms around you tightly. Hiding the small frown when you shrank in his embrace. He wasn't entirely sure how much longer he could hold back his own tears, it was heartbreaking to see how badly this affected you. Klaus just wanted this to pass, he knew it wouldn't last forever, that you weren't usually like this. If only there was something more he could do to help you in this mental state.

"Klaus?"

The low hum from Klaus sounded a little more distant than normal, especially as he was reluctant to loosen his grip around you. Even though you were trying to roll over to face him.

"I know this is a lot on you. I'm sorry."

A large thumb swiped at your tears, "Shh, this isn't your fault Liebling. I'll be okay."

"But it isn't right for you to bear all this..." The look in your eyes struck Klaus so much harder than it should have, "Especially with you caring for both our children. I... I haven't made things easier. I want to shake this but..."

"Shh, easy Liebe." Klaus pressed a soft kiss to your forehead, "I'm right here, I'll always be right here. I know you'll make a full recovery."

"I love you. I need you to know that." Your voice sounded smaller against his chest, but Klaus was going to comfort you, "I love you so much. I love our kids, I just... I just."

Klaus gently rubbed his chin across the top of your head, nuzzling ever so gently as he was known for, "I know Liebling. I make sure our children know. Things will get better mien Schatzi, I promise."

You were torn between low energy and the soft comforting gesture of Klaus rubbing your back. Just before you fell to sleep, you heard the deep rumbling of Klaus's voice.

"Ich liebe dich, mien Hertz"

Day 9 [Klaus/ Zed/ Raju]

Prompt: "I've made better choices, I have to admit"

Klaus

Having woken with a splitting headache, Klaus was not the least bit surprised to find himself in the hospital. He was grateful to be waking up at all, though the pained faces he saw twisted his heart in knots. From his close friends and teammates, Klaus half expected their misconceptions of having caused Klaus's injuries. What he wasn't expecting was you standing there like a ghost.

For once, Klaus couldn't read your face at all. He was able to placate everyone else and convince them he would bounce back easily. Telling them what they already knew, what they wanted to hear. But you were the last person to move at all. Refusing Steven's offer to go home just yet.

While Klaus was overall delighted to have a few moments alone with you, part of him dreaded what might come next.

"[Name], Liebling." Klaus reached towards you as you sat, same glassy stare, "I've made better choices I must admit."

Klaus couldn't bring himself to chuckle, not even half-heartedly at his own poorly executed joke. But seeing you not even react to his touch was deeply concerning to Klaus.

"Please, what's wrong Shatzi?"

"This." That cold and distant tone didn't suit you at all, "Seeing you like this isn't right. People like you don't get hurt, not like this. All these tubes and wires and--"

Klaus gently covered your mouth with his thumb. He knew what you meant, he agreed with you on some level, and yet...

"Liebling, this is the unfortunate underside of my job." He tried to coax you into looking at him, "I may fall, but I know I've done everything in my power to protect the people I treasure most. I struggle towards the light no matter how badly it might break my body. No matter the hell I have to go through, the fact that I'm protecting you, ensuring that you can go on and live whatever dreams that you'd fancy. I--"

"Can you stop that?!"

Klaus blinked, confused. You were unable to keep everything from spilling out. Klaus was the one hurt, you should have been strong for his sake. But you just couldn't take how he was talking at the moment.

You finally met his steady gaze, "You're injured. But you're still trying to comfort me. Where is the limit of your... of your..."

"Liebling--"

"Why do you have to be so perfectly selfless?"

You finally snapped, unable to get a full sentence out due to your crying. Hiccuping incomplete thoughts and apologies, trying to hide from Klaus but not really. Klaus knew you didn't mean to lash out like that, he understood just how it hurt you to see him like this.

To see that he just didn't falter even after nearly breaking every bone in his body.

Zed

There was too much going on at the moment. Zed was trying to ignore the blood staining his tank top, the way your breathing was slowing down from over his shoulder, and the words coming out of your mouth as he carried you through the dense jungle.

"I've made better choices..." You were struggling with breathing, "I have to admit."

"[Name], save your strength. We're almost out."

"I don't regret what I did back there." You needed to get this out, you didn't know if you would make it out, "I did what I had to do. Because I love you... I'd do it again in a heartbeat."

"I love you too sweetheart." Zed huffed a little as he climbed over a large root, "But please save your energy. We're almost out of here."

"Zed..."

The panic Zed felt as your head dropped against his shoulder was paralyzing. Everything was spinning in his mind, even moving forward felt wrong somehow. But he had to get you to safety, to someone who could help you.

Raju

Floating just at the foot of your hospital bed was something Raju never wanted to see. He knew you were a fang hunter, injuries would happen. But this time it was just too far. All these machines hooked up to make sure you were okay. He couldn't stand seeing you like this.

You were so weak looking and he hated it.

Raju almost fell out of the air when you stirred. Floating so close to you he might as well be on top of you. His glowing eyes burrowing into your soul.

"I've made better choices I have to admit."

No response. Raju just hovered there, blinking and watching your every move. Every slight wince as you moved and breathed. You couldn't brush any of this under the rug, Raju was worried and pissed.

"What were you doing to end up like this?"

Raju's voice was practically knives as he spoke. You knew why he wanted this information.

"It was a demon beast, a natural one." You said slowly, "Klaus mentioned it was handled before I passed out from the pain killers."

Raju sighed in a strained way. Weighing his options, what did he really want at the moment?

You were pleasantly surprised when he settled carefully around your shoulder. Stroking your hair slowly and just breathing. There wasn't anything he could say in this moment, nothing he could really do. Just sit here and make sure you were safe.

Shadowy figures, dark and twisting between scant torchlight. Nothing would stay still long enough for you to make sense of what was going on around you. All you knew for certain was you had been chosen by these people to host their "God". The shackles around your wrists were starting to bite and tear. Everything was just too much for you to handle, you had to escape. You had too--

You woke up in a cold sweat. Chest heaving, shaking badly, tears clinging to your eyes, and a burning sensation in the back of your throat. Instincts had you reaching for your phone, seeking out comfort wherever it was.

But your inability to control your nerves had you clicking on Klaus's number before you could talk yourself out of the action. Part of you wanted to hang up, pretend it was just an accident that you called.

But Klaus wouldn't have believed you, not entirely. Not to mention he would have called back almost instantly regardless if you tried to slip out of talking.

"[Name], is everything alright?" Despite your guilt, Klaus's voice was still soothing to you, "Are you in danger?"

"N-no..." The softness in your voice had Klaus worried, "It's nothing serious... I just... it..."

Klaus was already standing, adjusting his glasses and searching for something suitable to wear.

"Would you like me to come over?"

"I... uh..." You scrunched up in your bed, "It... its nothing, I promise."

Klaus wasn't going to be dissuaded, "[Name], would you like to come over for the night? I promise it wouldn't be a burden to me to do so."

Toying with the edge of your blanket, you didn't really want to bother Klaus like this, especially at one in the morning. But you knew there wasn't anything you could do, you couldn't deny that you just needed someone here.

You needed Klaus right now.

"I uh... I'd like to come over. If that's okay of course."

"I'll be over in a few moments." Klaus was already half-dressed, "And it would be lovely to have you over [Name]."

You sighed softly as your phone screen went dark. Even that short conversation had you feeling leagues calmer. Also slightly giddy, guiltily so, about the prospect of visiting with Klaus. And very likely being cuddled...

You were so very conflicted, but still getting dressed. Not wanting to wear an old, torn-up pair of joggers, even if Klaus would never judge you for anything. It still bugged you a little.

Though the tight hug Klaus greeted you with made everything else fade, including the guilt of waking him up.
