It was a slow revelation - one that curled around his spine and had a bitter edge that seemed sickeningly sweet in all the same
Klaus wouldn't know
Klaus would never know
Because klaus was klaus and klaus was never sober enough to even learn to control his powers at such a young age let alone to have a single run of thoughts that feathered together so reckless and rectifyingly
It was taunting , wasn't it
That klaus has been in a long term committed relationship with the man for years and he didn't have a single clue
His poor , insolent , drug addict of a brother
Fuck , why hadn't five realised this sooner
It was utterly unexpected, a revelation
He didn't even see nor feel a familiarity but somehow it was there
Five knew him
Five can see him
When he was five , in 1994 , five had a odd dream
He didn't speak of it , but it was vivid and all too real
He can still remember it clearly till this day
There wasn't anything unusual or outstanding about this dream
But five remembers it , how he had run down the turning steps of the academy in record time before all of his siblings that day
He remembers going out late at night in hopes of to find something more than what they were
Because five was always different
Better in a way his siblings wouldn't , nor would ever try to understand
It was still a dream , though
He remembers micah , only it wasn't really him
Micah was older in a way that he wasn't currently , rougher around the edges , body more filled out with one too many muscles and facial hair scruffing at his sharp jaw
His eyes were dark in a type of rage that five was curious over - having never felt a deep sort of anger that would curve one's face so negatively before
The anger seemed to dim the man's eyes - so different from the softness that lit up his whole being with klaus tucked into his side at all times
Five remembers following him out of the sort of curiousity any sort of five year old boy may have - all until the man had turned around , the evident lines of anger curved into his face seeming to prod at his skin in a way it seemed used to
He had crouched down to fives hieght , five remembers the fear that had curled into his bones the moment micah had turned around and dropped his angry eyes onto him , it clutched at him in a way that sunk into and burned at his skin when his attempt at teleporting failed
It was odd , the way he calmed so easily when Micah's face softened ever so slightly , the anger seeming to hide away
But it was still there , harsh and prodding
And oh , oh so angry behind those stormy eyes
" you must go now , this isn't a dream for children ", his voice was deep and calm , the gruff edge seeming to fret at the edges of his voice box
Micah's eyes bounced over him , as if someone was going to jump out and take five away kicking and screaming
Five couldn't move , his voice didn't seem to work , his thoughts were running rampant , though , eyes filled with what he was thinking but no way to express anything at all
He was five years old , too many thoughts and a tad much of curiosity fuming the fire
" you have to wake up , five "
Five woke up after that , only wondering how the man knew his name but not who the man was
The man was micah , but how ?
Five doesn't think it was a dream anymore , maybe he was dreaming , onky micah could see him somehow , pulling him to life and pushing him away with his anger
Five remembers
Oh , five remembers too much
Oh , so , so much
Micah was a man , only a man bumping into him in passing during 1763 on a mission to kill a woman before she woke up on a late December morning
Micah had smiled charmingly , a glint of knowledge in his eyes seeming to taunt him
" sorry sir , best be on my way ", he had chuckles out , giving a small nod of the head , even going so far to tip his top hat before being on his way
Five hadnt thought anything of it
Five remembers
He remembers when he was first recruited , going through files and stopping short in a odd sort of familiarity that didn't seem to catch up to him at the time

Micah decker originates from Russia , a solo worker who is known for efficiency and brutal killings
- micah decker has been missing for the past 27 years
It was almost comercail - and how stupid could he have been to have completely looked over the fact that he knew micah
He remembered him
Knew him
Five couldn't believe that he had been living and working in the same distance of this man - this man that he knew , and didn't even see it
Oh , it all made so much sense
Micah decker
Missing for 27 years
Klaus was born 27 years ago , they all were
But klaus , klaus , most importantly
It all made so much sense - only it didn't in a way but did at the same the clock ticked at every second
Klaus was Micah's last shred of sanity
