Micah woke up to an empty bed , the duvet cold and his eyes snapped open on alert , a frown set on his lips once he noted klaus wasn't in the room before a thudding clash sounded out , making him rush out of the bed and the room as quickly as he could in his sleepy state . And he didn't have time to speak once he entered the kitchen as klaus threw himself into Micah's arms , another thudding clash going off as the familiar case from the night before set itself off into flames behind them , making micah stumble back slightly with klaus within his arms from the pressure .
" your alive ", klaus cries out , squeezing micah with all that he had in him as tears ran down his pale cheeks , and micah furrowed his brows when he took in what klaus was wearing , and looked down at him in confusion
" yes , I'm alive ....... Baby , why are you wearing a military uniform from from the 30s ....", he frowns as he spoke , his voice a bit deeper due to it being the first time he's spoken since he's woken up , and klaus's eyes widened , looking down at his clothes and then wincing , backing away from micah so he cold tug off the clothes from his lanky body as if it was poison on his skin, and Micah's lips part in shock as he noticed something , then grasps klaus arm and tugging him back to him
" you have a new tattoo ", micah notes out , rubbing klaus's shaking form and keeping him close to his own body
" ..... and it's all healed ...... baby , what did you do "
....................
now they were back at the umbrella academy once again , klaus one the bath that micah had made him with a hand clasped in Micah's as he lied back against the back of the bath , and micah glanced at him more closely when he started to zone out
"Darling ", micah called out quietly , running a hand up klaus's arm in a soft caress , making klaus blink rapidly back into reality and almost jumping out of his own skin in the process
" klaus ", micah called out , using his other hand to tilt klaus's face towards his , resulting in klaus leaning forward and leaning his forehead against his shoulder with small quiet pants leaving his lips , micah running his hand up and down his bare back softly , trying to calm him down in some sort of reassurance
"- I'm sorry-"
....
" oh , boy " klaus breathes out , a pair of low rise leather pants bearing his hips and a shudder working its way through his body after he itches his back and shoulders , micah sat down on the small bed with a frown on his lips , both looking over to the door when five knocks on the door
" you okay " , he asks , seemingly to be in thought , or in the process of realising something
" hey ... yeah , I just - long night ", klaus murmured out quietly , shaking a shirt through his damp hair
" more than one night from the looks of it ", five notes , not even realising the dirty context of their words , and micah was in too much of a sour mood to comment on it to klaus
" yeah ", klaus groans , pulling the shirt over his head with a stretch
" don't remember the dog tags "
" ugh , yeah , they belonged to a friend -
" friend ", micah mumbles under his breathe , repeating klaus's words with slight jelousy in his voice , and klaus sighed , soaring a tired glance in the man's direction
" how about that new tattoo ", five continues his questioning
" you know ; I don't totally remember even getting it . Like I said , it was a long night ", klaus brushes off with a slight wave of the hand , going over to stand in front of micah and pats the man on the head affectionately while a smirk comes onto fives face
" you did it , didn't you ", he asks already knowing the answer
" what are you talking about ", klaus sighs, Turing back to five and taking a seat in Micah's lap , who wraps his arms around klaus protectively , still stuck in the mindset that klaus was under threat , which klaus knew , and didn't mind the tight hold around his waist , only settling his arms on top of Micah's
" you know , I recognise the symptoms , klaus ", five muses out as he steps more into the room
" symptoms of what ", he sighs once more , too out of it too out any of his brothers cryptic words together
" the jet lag . Full body itch . The headache that feels like someone shaved a box of cotton up into your nose and through your brain . You gonna tell me about it ", five wonders out as he stands almost in front of the couple , and klaus sighs under his breathe before deciding to speak
" your pals , when they broke into the house and they couldn't find you , they took me as hostage instead ", he tells five quietly , Micah's arms tightening around klaus's waist as he was reminded of the last day , and klaus taps Micah's arm
" and in return , you stole their briefcase ", five guesses
" micah , loosen up , I can't breathe - thanks ", klaus breathes out in relief , and micah hums , kissing the side of klaus's head
" and no , I took the briefcase ", micah gruffs out , his gaze changing into five , who's brows furrowed in confusion, not expecting that at all , and klaus's lips twitch up , not yet having the wnergy to smile or boast over fives confusion or that his boyfriend was a better assassin than five
" oh yeah , Micah's an assassin too , I didn't really see much cause they just pushed me in the closet as soon as the shooting started , but they were gone by the time he got to me ... so they must of fled , and micah took the briefcase before we went home , we came back here around an hour ago-
" I'm sorry , backtrack , why didn't nobody tell me you were a assassin , and it makes no sense , why would they flee , surely they would have enough ammo and equipment at their base", five frowns , his mind not connecting the dots quite yet as he thought
" knowone other than klaus knows about my work , and they couldn't see me .... It would be better to flee while they can than be blind sighted or not know where they're supposed to be shooting .... And even if we were hand to hand combat ... they'd be dead , no one hurts klaus and gets out alive ", micah scowls , and klaus nods when five looks to him , and klaus goes to pat micahs head once more as if he were calming down a angry or rabbit dog
" but I thought there would be money in it .... Or something valuable , or whatever , but when I opened it ", klaus sighs
" and the next thing you know , you were ..... where , or should I say when ", five muses out as he begins to pace
" what difference does it make "
" what diff—- uh — okay , how long were you gone ", five huffs , giving klaus a look
" around 3 or 4 months ", klaus frowns
" 4 mounths . Do you know what this means ", five realises
" yeah , I'm 4 mounths older now -
" no , this isn't some kind of joke , klaus . Hazel and chacha will do whatever they can do to get that briefcase . Where is it now ", five concludes
" gone " , micah tells him , his voice still rough , making five believe he truly did actually never talk
" I destroyed it . Poof ", klaus adds , doing the exploding guestures with his hands , and fives eyes widen for a second before his face turns annoyed
" what the hell were you thinking -
" what do you care ", klaus asks back , becoming annoyed himself the more they spoke about it
" what do I care . I needed it , you moron-", Micah's scowl deepens at the comment about klaus "- I could start over "
" just ........ just ", klaus put his hand up as he stood , tugging micah up to stand and pulling them along and out the room
" where are you going ", five huffs
" interrogations over , just ...... leave ", klaus replies with his own huff , sinking into Micah's side as they begin to walk the halls of the umbrella academy
