Short Klaus Imagine: No One's Peace

all these people think love's for show
but i would die for you in secret
the devil's in the details but you got a friend in me
would it be enough if i could never give you peace?

It was a fair statement to say sometimes you simply tolerated him. He was a hot mess before he met you and even when he met you, and he's still a hot mess now. The only difference is that he had someone to help him through his hot mess episodes, even if he continuously pushed you away.

Klaus had gone off the deep end once again. Not with his sobriety, he was doing well with that, but with him personally was a different story. Sober Klaus didn't know what to do with himself and had no idea who he was. He tried a lot of different hobbies but none of them seemed to really stick. Then he became a germaphobe it was a barrier in your relationship.

You loved him dearly and just wanted him to be happy. However, it was starting to go a bit too far. It started small, him wearing gloves everywhere, and then it quickly escalated into bubble wrapping everything. He even went as far as to hardly kissing you because he was scared of contracting any kind of sickness you may be immune to.

You were growing tired of it and gave him an ultimatum. Either he goes to therapy to sort his issues out or you were done. Klaus exploded and the two of you got into a huge fight. Words said that you can't take back, both of you were crying, some things had been thrown and broken. He left and you hadn't seen him for a few days.

He showed up a week later, obviously distraught. Klaus had your favorite take out food and some flowers as an apology. You let him back in and you had a really long talk, agreeing that therapy was definitely needed between the two of you so you could understand each other better. Klaus felt bad for how he treated you and agreed he'd work on it.

Weeks had passed, everything was going really good, and then he missed a therapy session, stating he didn't need it anymore. While you were supportive of his autonomy, you also explained that therapy was helping you two in your relationship. Klaus was in a mood and he didn't like that answer. Once again, you two had a blow out.

Klaus understood the gravity of the situation. He upset you, he hurt you over and over again, and yet you always took him back. You always forgave him and continued on with your relationship. He knew you were tired, he was equally tired. You were his person and yet here he was, screaming at the person who he would give his life for without any second thought.

You went silent, your cries became soft as you sat on the couch. You were tired and then it hit him that he may lose you for good. You looked so broken, and it was his fault.

"Klaus I can't-I can't keep doing this." You hoarsely admitted, wiping your face with your hand.

"Don't leave me...please don't." He begged, sitting next to you. "I need you."

"Then why do you keep doing this?" You whispered. "It's hurting me."

"I don't..I don't know. But I don't want to keep hurting you." He admitted, pulling you into his arms.

He could never give you the peace that you desparately needed and deserved. He would try to keep the gasoline from the fire as best he could.
