❝Klaus Mikaelson was the monster one would tell their children, he's the villain in everyone's stories, but for me he was the prince who saved me from myself and I think I saved the last bit of hope within him.❞

Bodie was confused on who was the clingy one out of the pair of them in this relationship. At times, Bodie thought that it was him, and then at other times, Klaus proves him wrong on so many levels. The minutes that Bodie came back into the Woodford's house, Klaus was straight at his side, with his hands on both of Bodie's biceps as if he was concerned or worried about what happened to him. He gave Bodie a quick one over, as if to double check if he was bitten by a wolf or something. Bodie had to muster everything within him not to comment about Klaus and his clingy-ness and need to protect.
That and the fact that Bodie didn't want to mention anything about his conversation with Amis—and even if he did, he wouldn't want the others to know his thought process at the moment. He couldn't keep his mind straight at the moment, so the thought of having to explain everything didn't seem ideal to him. Though, even still, he found comfort within Klaus' touch on his arms.
A part of him wanted to have Klaus to himself without an audience just because of his need to be close to Klaus. He knew that it was rather strange, but he really didn't care as much. He knew that he was overthinking everything that Amis said which lead to Bodie believing that there was a chance that Klaus could have brought them here just to get his secret out, but it was Klaus, he would say that he trusted Klaus but that's something that he's still working on.
He tried to rid himself of the thoughts, afraid that there was a chance that Klaus would pester him about it. So, he ended up hugging Klaus which somewhat took him by surprise. He buried his head into the crook of Klaus' neck, taking in Klaus' deodorant which was always so familiar and nice, and so Klaus-like. He just needed Klaus close to him, needed the comfort of being in Klaus' arms. Plus, it was a good way for him to hide his face just for a short moment—though that moment was all that he needed before he composed himself.
He felt how Klaus tried to comfort him even though Klaus had no idea as to what Bodie needed comfort in at all, though he didn't mind. He just wanted Klaus—like he always did. He knew that there was a chance that Elijah and the Woodford's were watching, though he heard movement as if the three left to give Bodie a minute alone with Klaus which he was grateful for.
"Bodie," Klaus mumbled into him. "Bo. I thought that something happened to you. I thought that you got bitten—full moon and all."
"Can't die because of it." Bodie responded and pulled away. He was inches away from Klaus, though he didn't care, he liked being close to Klaus just as a whole. "Plus, I think you'd get me to kill a human just to trigger the curse, so I don't have to suffer with it."
Klaus looked as if he was considering it for a moment then and shrugged. "Maybe so." The smile that was on his face then faded then. "Though, I was worried just in case something happened to you, Bodie. Especially after the way you walked out. I didn't want anything to happen to you."
