Willow and Five walked in inside the Academy holding hands. The whole walk there they were quiet and haven't said a thing to one another. They weren't angry at each other they just wanted some quiet. Even if the two were doing nothing or their own things they enjoyed each others company.

As the two were walking in the direction of Fives room, something caught Willows eye. She stopped making Five stopped. Her gaze was stuck on the floor following the small trail of blood that lead to Klaus' open bedroom door. 

Willow frowned her brows, letting Fives hand go as she approached Klaus' door, knocking on the door. "Hey Goatee, you okay?"

"Hey," his voice came out more as a whisper. "Yeah, I just... long night."

Willow watched Klaus put his shirt on as her mind raced, something was off. She was pulled from her thoughts when she heard Five chuckle. "More than one, from the looks of it."

"Yeah."

"Don't remember the dog tags." Five said. Willow's eyes snapped up to Klaus chest where the dog tags were on a necklace. 

"Yeah, they belonged to a friend."

"How about that new tattoo?" Five asked. Willow let out a shaky breath, she knew where he was going with this and she couldn't blame him. The signs match up. It couldn't be a coincidence... right?

"You know, I don't totally remember even getting it. Like I said, it was a long night."

Five walked more into Klaus' room. "You did it, didn't you?"

"What are you talkin' about?"

"We can recognize the symptoms, Goatee," Willow gave Klaus a sad smile. She felt bad... she couldn't help but put part the blame on herself.

"Symptoms of what?"

"The jet lag," Five started. "Full body itch. Headache that feels like someone shoved a box of cotton up into your nose and through your brain. You gonna tell me about it?"

"Your pals, when they broke into the house and they couldn't find you two, they took me hostage instead."

"Oh Klaus," Willow mumbled, walking over to sit on the bed beside him.
