Salvior

Chapter 17

I was walking in the yard of Klaus' castle with Klaus of course, looking at the little flowers that had started to grow in a little garden Klaus had made for me when I was bedded. I smile as I walk infront of him ignoring his warning not to walk that fast at risk of falling over and wounding myself. —yep, I roll my eyes at that—

Klaus catches up with me even before I can take more than a couple of steps, snaking his arm around my waist. I sigh.

"Give at least thirty minutes a day to a woman, please." I scoff and roll my eyes internally.

" Klaus, please. I'm literally infront of you. You could even stand next to me." I pout giving him the puppy face. He growls deeply making me know that Del'mont is completely against the idea but after a moment of staring into my eyes, he reluctantly let's me go just to walk very much next to me.

I smile at the little gesture as we walk along the line of growing flowers. My thoughts drift to his beast and himself. Since yesterday I've been thinking of all the possibilities that could lead us to stabilise Klaus and Del'mont.

My mind is more in a haze than anything else since I have less information about that time and I can't bring myself to ask Klaus directly because it's like a sour topic; I don't know for him but for me, it is.

In any case, I need more information about the whole situation if not all my thinkings are just me torturing myself.

"Ummmm, Klaus?" I nervously call I and I know he knows I'm nervous.

" Uh-huh" He humms as we keep walking slowly along the flower beds. The noon wind engulfing us in its soft brush. I tug a lock of hair behind my ear, repressing the need to bite my lower lip.

" I want to ask a delicate question about a delicate topic." I say sheepishly.

" Go on, love." He says nodding. I take in a sharp breath before asking

" How is it like when Del'mont takes full control?" He looks at me with a blank face then looks back at the vast field infront of us. I don't know what he's thinking thus don't know what to feel.

" It depends of how engulfed I am by him." He finally graces me with an answer. I nod for him to continue and he does.

" When we are stable, I am capable of having complete control over him. I voluntarily give and take control from him. I am capable of controlling the amount of anger and any other emotion he lets out...well that was before you because even though I am capable of as much, with you being here with me, it takes much more effort than any other thing." He pauses as we keep walking deliberately slowly and having finished looking at the beds of flowers, we walk a little farther from the castle than I have in a very long while.

" Now that I am unstable, he has more control over my emotions. He is able to take away the entire control over my body." Klaus sucks in a deep breath, focusing his attention on the cloudless blue sky.

" We tend to be more protective over you now that we are unstable and even excessively because he is in charge most of the times." He gives me an apologetic smile to which I lightly squeeze his forearm telling him it's okay.

Klaus takes up my hand, gently kissing my knuckles. I suck in a breath preparing myself to tell him how I'm here for him, how I'll take in everything until he's stable once more and how he shouldn't bother when he cuts me off...

" But we are not sorry. We know it is best for you, because you are still convalescent and for my beast and I because we are unstable."  He gives me gentle smile to which I internally roll my eyes.

My heart drums as I prepare myself to finally ask that key question. I don't even know why I'm so scared. It's Klaus we're talking about here. He'll never hurt me consciously and even when unconscious, he needs to be berserk — literally— before that ever happens.
