i love the “you’re a good brother” scene because it is a small (but wonderful) testament to both klaus’s emotional intelligence, and five’s love for his siblings (klaus in this instance). klaus knows that five is not used to affection of any sort, and that he is consequently not very receptive to it. he still wanted five to know the truth though, which is why after he said “you’re a good brother,” he didn’t give five the time to go down that spiral of wow. i’m being appreciated? how do i respond to this? what do i do with this information? and instead immediately added onto it with a little joke, “alright you say nice things about me now.” and then you have five, someone whose main love language is, arguably, acts of service — and so he immediately replies with just that: a promise of an act of service — “let’s go find your stupid mother,” aka, “yeah, yeah, okay, i love you.” and klaus knows this! he heard it as the “i love you” it was supposed to be and so he responded with “love you too, tiny dancer” and so basically what i’m trying to say is that i love these two so much. i’m going to eat cement
