Klaus' P.O.V

I tried so hard not to think about it... about him.
Everything changed from the moment I saw him.
I knew I wanted to know him... I had to get to know him.

Now he's gone.
A part of me left with him.
I can't do this anymore.

I was lying alone on my childhood bed thinking about everything, when I suddenly hear a knock at the door.

"You alright?" Five came in.

"I uh yeah," I responded

"That's not what it looks like."

"Wow thanks."

"You know I can-"

"Go away"

"When I don't care you all complain and when I try to care you all also complain...I can't win," Five complained.

"Just go... please? Now?"

Five smiled and left.

I get up and close my door before throwing myself back on the bed.

I close my eyes and after what feels like years of darkness I see a bright light, I attempt to open my eyes but I can't.

I'm back in the same place where I saw God but instead of God standing there I see him.

"Dave?"

"I've been waiting for years...it's about time," Dave laughs as I run towards him.

"I did it... I got sober."

"You did."

"I want to stay."

"You can't"

"I can, I'll find a way"

"I know what your thinking and I'm not letting you go through with it."

"But think about it, I'm no use to my family they all think I'm a looney anyway and if I die I'll be here with you... unless I go to hell but-"

"The answer's no Klaus I know I don't own or control you but the answer is no."

"I just can't believe I can finally talk to you"

"I'm here and I'm not leaving anytime soon... not that I have a choice"

"Klaus why are you here again?!" I see God coming up to me.

"I just-"

"GO!"

"But-"

"You don't belong here!"

"Dave-" I reached out yelling before he turned away.

"Go Klaus, you don't belong here!" Dave said

"But I wanted to see you," I cried out

"I didn't, why must you ruin everything!"

"Dave I-" I whispered before he cut me off.

"Go get out you don't belong on Earth and you don't belong here!"

I looked at him one last time before being pulled back into reality.

I open my eyes and see Pogo, all my siblings and mum standing over me.

"Hello?" I said looking up.

"You overdosed on drugs," Allison said,she was so clearly shaken up.

"Again," Luther added with a sad look.

"I overdosed?"

"Yeah..." Diego whispered.

"We barely got you back," Pogo added.

"That mean what I saw wasn't real?"

"I don't know what or who you saw but no," Pogo said.

I smiled, that means that Dave loves me.

"How long was I out?"

"A few hours which ended up turning into days," Vanya said.

"So I'm sober?"

"For now," Five said.

I smiled.

That means I can see Dave.
The real Dave.

A few hours passed and they all had left me alone to sleep.

I close my eyes and picture Dave... but nothing happens.

I try to reach out to Dave but nothings there, it's as if he had never existed.

I feel my eyes well up with tears.

"So this is your childhood room," I heard a voice behind me.

"Dave?!" I whisper yell turning around.

I run towards him  and hug him, I quickly pull away realising that I just made contact with the dead.

"I can touch you?" I asked

"Seems so," he smiled

I try to hold his arm but my hand goes right through him.

"Or maybe not?" He laughed

"This is the best part of being sober," I smiled.

Sorry everything took so long, I was out of ideas.
If you have any please let me know.
Since I haven't updated in a while I have posted two chapters today, one of a group chat and a Klaus x Dave.
If you have requests don't be shy I'm open minded.

Thanks for reading
