FATED (BEN HARGREEVES FANFICTION)

home, right?

Defeating the whole army of The Commision is definitely something so surreal. You'll surely give all the credit to Vanya and Five since they were the ones who massacred the villain. But it feels nice to see the whole family fighting back together again. Safe to say that Umbrella Academy is back on duty.

You see the sunset going down, creating a beautiful landscape. It would be nice if you had a handy watercolour kit and painted it for a bit. Not every day you get a chance to sit in peace and not run around chasing the bad guy.

"Hey, little rascal," a familiar voice came from inside the scattered house.

"Hello there," you smile, "I see you being yourself lately."

He chuckles back.

"Look, I want to tell you something big and probably surprise you," he exhales sharply as he prepares to say something.

"Try me"

"Well. You know when I got a little mad and talked with myself a few days... in a few timelines ago," he chuckles. "I was talking to Ben,"

Silence. An intense utter silence is not something Klaus really expects to get. Especially when your little sister is having an intense record for creating havoc when it comes to her loved one.

"I know," you mumble under your breath, "I might look careless but I ain't dumb. The way you talk to what you so-called your head is exactly how you and Ben used to talk back then,"

Klaus fidgets his finger as he expects something more feral from you.

"I am sorry, Y/n." he places his palm on your shoulder, "Should've told you earlier,"

Your corner lips formed a timid smile, "Yes. Or maybe you've made the right decision. Brilliant even," you took a pause to exhale the suppressing air from your lungs, "Vanya told me about his last words before going into that light. Live your life, go for your own happiness, he said. Tch! sounds like he rehearsed that"

Both Klaus and you giggle at the same time.

"Yeah, that little shit. Show off" he snickers.

Your eyes darted to the side porch. There is Diego and Vanya sitting side by side. Probably comforting each other since they both separated from their loved ones.

"You're a good brother, Klaus. Never doubt that" You tapped one of his cheeks

Which then he holds it. His warmth spreads through your entire body as you feel so secure. His eyes are glistening a little.

"Feel free to go feral if you like it. Y/n, it's not your duty to hand out forgiveness to everybody. Some mistakes are just whopping shit,"

"Or is it? It's not fully your fault Klaus. My heartbreak is my problem. So accept that you are a good and kind big brother,"

"And fabulous..." he adds.

"Yeah... fabulous it is,"

Dusk comes sooner than expected, the last of the sun's rays cosseted behind a soft grey cloud. The sky has slowly turned dark and black as the sun is no longer in sight. But there is a trickle of secure feeling as the stars come up greeting the sky with their immaculate beauty. One by one, revealed by the greyish sky, forming an oddly familiar pattern. The same pattern that pins your early relationship with Ben.
