Diego's POV
I small knock comes from my door. I blink away my sleep and glance over at my alarm clock. It reads 3am. "Nope." I mumble, rolling back over to go back to sleep. Another knock. I ignore it, trying to grab back the sleep I had just had a moment ago. I hear the door creep open. "Diego?" Klaus whispers. I barely hold back the groan and continue to fake sleep. "Diego?" He whispers a bit louder. I don't answer. I hear him take in a breath like he's about to say something but it never comes. I hear my door shut. I roll over to face the door. I shut my eyes and try to sleep. I start to feel the nagging in my gut. "Oh for fucks sake." I kick off my blankets and climb out of bed. I swing my door open to see Klaus awkwardly standing in the hallway. "What?" I snap, a bit harsher then I meant to. Klaus flinches. My exasperation loosens. "What is it?" I ask more kindly.
"I-uh." He takes a breath. "Can I stay here?" He asks meekly. I raise a brow.
"Stay here?" I eco. He nods.
"Like sleep on the floor or in the bathroom or something." He splutters.
I slowly nod. "Why?" Klaus looks down at the ground and mumbles something. "You have to speak up." I state, the annoyance creeping back into my voice. He shifts his weight between his feet.
"The ghosts are being loud." He speaks, barely audible. Oh. Oh. "And usually Ben is there but sense you know he's not anymore," Klaus's voice breaks. "It's just a lot." I slowly nod. Of course he struggling with Ben's death. Well not death. It makes sense. They were together for 17 years. Something then clicks. Klaus never really grieved the first time. Why would he? He could still see and talk to Ben. "Never mind." Klaus whispers sounding defeated and starts to walk back to his room. I then recognize that I never answered him.
"Wait," I call. Klaus freezes. "Come on." I call opening my bedroom door.
Klaus shuffles into my bedroom. I walk over to my bed and crawl in. Klaus starts to lay on the ground. "No." He gives me a confused look. "You aren't sleeping on the ground bro. Get into bed." He nods and climbs in, automatically snuggling into my side. I sigh. I forgot how much of a fucking snuggler he is.
"Thanks, Diego you're a good brother." Klaus whispers. My cold dead heart softens.
"You are too bro."
