5 ways to say I love you / no longer accepting / @sixthtm

1. They are children, and there is a monster living in Number Six’s stomach. Not like the monsters that Klaus sees, this one is a living thing that moves and writhes under Six’s skin. It’s scary, but Four has seen a lot of scary things already. At least the thing inside Six doesn’t scream at him, or ask him to save it. And Six is kind and patient, and doesn’t look at Four weird when he talks to people no one else can see. They are children, who have just been taught how to fire a gun and the ways to kill people, but they have half an hour of free time-it is a Sunday, and that means fun. Four would usually spend his time climbing trees or putting worms down Three’s shirt, but Six looks tired and ill so instead he sits by him in the quiet of the attic. Six is quiet, which is fine, because Four can talk for the both of them. “-I’m gunna make us matching bracelets,” he is saying, “like Mom wears sometimes, but not as fancy, ‘cause I’m making them,” he pauses, grins at his brother and the monster living inside him, “we’ll look like twins, which we sort of are, I guess. Anyway, they’ll just be for me and you, not One or any of them, not even Two. Just me and you, ‘cause you’re my favourite.” 

2. Things have changed, they are older now, they have names-and Ben is dead. No matter how often people say the words Klaus cannot bring himself to accept them. Ben, sweet Ben who hated hurting people, is dead. He stays high for weeks on end, barely eats or sleeps until his father threatens him with a week in the mausoleum if he doesn’t get his act together. Briefly Klaus considers just letting it happen, sure the place is the root of all his trauma-but what can be worse than this? Eventually Klaus manages to drag himself forward, claws his way out of the waves of narcotics and grief enough to eat and talk to his siblings. A few weeks later, and Ben is there looking as if nothing is happened. Klaus wants to scream, wants to cry and throw things and take pills until he cannot see straight anymore. He doesn’t, instead he reaches out a hand to the ghost of his brother and speaks with a voice thick with tears, “hey Benny, I miss you.” 

3. Breaking into a bookshop isn’t the hardest thing Klaus has ever done, all things considered. Sure he’s a little scratched up from breaking the window but hey, scars are hot right? Anyway, the police didn’t catch him which is the most important part, and he is huddled in an ally with his prize hidden  under his coat. He waits until he’s sure the coast is clear before pulling it out, eyes flicking over the title which, frankly, seems boring as all hell, but he smiles anyway and holds it out to Ben. “Ta-da! All yours, or mine, I guess, but I can read it to you, if you want.” 

4. The problem with growing up with part of the Umbrella Academy, besides everything, is that Klaus is never really sure what to do for his birthday. Sure he knows people have parties, get drunk, all the good stuff-but he does that anyway. He could flutter his eyelashes, get a free shot or something on account of the glorious occasion, but he does that too often during the rest of the year for it to actually mean anything. Calling his siblings is out of the question-though he did send Diego a card-as is asking any of his “friends” to, what? Go to the cinema? Take him for dinner. No, that’s not right either. There is one person he knows he can celebrate with. He’s scraped what money he has and cleaned up enough that no one throws him out of the diner. When he asks for two donuts (with a separate plate for each) and two sodas, the waitress gives him an odd look, but serves him anyway which is all that matters. He slides into a booth, pulls from his pocket two very battered looking birthday candles and sticks one in each doughnut. It should be a sad sight, but Klaus is smiling anyway, “happy birthday Ben!”

❝ I was going to name one of my children after you ! the grumpy one. ❞

❝ yes, swooping is… bad. ❞

❝ first it’s ‘ I like you ‘ but then ZAP, frog time ! ❞

❝ mercy ? I wouldn’t have expected that from you. ❞

❝ that’s what I’m here for ! to deliver unpleasant news and witty one-liners. ❞

❝ [ in a sing-song tone ] somebody has been drinking ! ❞

❝ you drink some blood, you choke on it and pass out. ❞

❝ I was just thinking about you ! isn’t that a marvelous coincidence ? ❞

❝ well, uh, try not to tell everyone how easily fooled I was ? ❞

❝ here’s the thing: being near you makes me crazy, but I can’t imagine being without you. not ever. ❞

❝ have I told you that I love you ? I did ? well, it won’t kill you to hear it again, will it ?❞

❝ now that the warm, fuzzy part of the day is over with, we can get back to the ritual dismemberments. ❞

❝ oh no, I’m babbling. maybe we should go— let’s go ! let’s just go ! ❞

❝ that… was SO not what I meant. ❞

❝ well, look here, now who’s an idle gossip ? ❞

❝ there’s nothing saying that a moron can’t be cute and adorable. ❞

❝ I don’t know if I should take you seriously… but you scare me sometimes. ❞

❝ I’ve never been very good at that. the steeling myself part. I find it better sometimes to just be a little weak. ❞

❝ yes, I’m that blind. I so totally did not see you ogling each other before. ❞

❝ some days I have trouble figuring out which boot goes on which foot. ❞

❝ it hurts my manly feelings, you know. all one of them. ❞

❝ I didn’t say it was a good plan. ❞

❝ soooo, what would you do if someone told you that they loved you ? ❞

❝ can’t you be more judgmental ? I’m trying to rant, here. ❞

❝ bad things happen when I lead. we get lost, people die, and the next thing you know I’m stranded somewhere without any pants. ❞

❝ I just would have screwed it up like I do everything else. but at least I would have cared. ❞

❝ now that I’ve handled that with my… usual deft brilliance, time to move on ! ❞

❝ ouch, now I’m wounded. look at me, bleeding all over the place. you are just not very nice, are you ? ❞

❝ I’ve come to… care for you. a great deal. ❞
