The Beauty of Being Numb | Klaus Hargreeves x Reader

Mr. Lonely

(Y/N) ends up falling asleep on his arms, which makes it easier to carry her to the mansion.

But as Klaus gets closer to his house, he notices the door's already open, and chatter can be heard inside.

-Oh, no...- he whispers, noticing the colorful van at one side of the entrance-. Oh, God damn it.

A group of people dressed in blue gets out of the house:

-He's here!

-The prophet!

(Y/N) wakes up because of the commotion.

-The Holy Wanderer had returned!

-Stay in the mansion!- Klaus starts walking away.

-What's going on?- (Y/N) asks, snuggling to his chest.

-Nothing.

-Prophet!

-No! No, you guys should all stay in the mansion.

-Prophet!- overlapping shout follow him as he tries to run.

-Stay in the mansion!

-What?

A wave of turquoise blue surrounds Klaus, causing (Y/N) to start hyperventilating, scared.

-Hey, hey, don't panic- Klaus tries to calm her-. They're completely harmless... Ouch!

He trips and both fall to the ground. (Y/N) tries to get away from the turmoil, terrified, her drunkness not helping. But then a pair of hands takes her by the shoulders. She screams to the top of her lungs, and Klaus tries to push his followers to get to her, unsuccessfully.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa- a man bends by her side-. Was ist mit deinem Gesicht passiert, Voss? (what happened to your face, Voss?)

She focuses on the man speaking, her vision blurry.

-Kurt?

-No, no, I'm here- Four finally gets to her and takes her by the hand-. I'm here, don't worry.

-I'm not talking about you, idiot- she sighs in pain.

-Can you please stop touching her?- a guy with a German accent tells him, angry. He then turns to (Y/N)-. Er hat dir das angetan, Liebes? (He did this to you, love?)

-Nein, aber kannst du von hier wegnehmen? (No, but can you take me away from here?)

-Yes, of course. My car just right here- he points at a pink Camaro-. Come on.

-Jedes Teilchen meines Körpers tut weh, kannst du...? (Every particle of my body hurts, can you...?)

-Oh, yes!- the German man carries (Y/N) as Klaus looks at them confused.

As he takes her to his car, Four tries to follow, but his followers get in the way.

-Um, (Y/N)! Wait!

They reach the car and the guy leaves her at the copilot seat to then enter the other side. He starts the car and starts driving away from the blue dressed turmoil.

(The next conversation is supposed to be spoken in German)

-Okay, now tell me, what happened to you? Why were you with that man? I thought you were terrified of cults.

-It's a long story, Kurt- she answers, rubbing her eyes-. And I really don't want to talk about it now.

-Can you at least tell me who was the moron who left your beautiful face like that?
