☔THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY☔ (ONE SHOTS)

Sober-Ben Hargreeves☔

"Wakie wakie sis!" I open my tired eyes and stare up at my brother who's clapping his hands and smiling down at me. I groan out loud and slowly start getting up from the bed across from him.

"I'm way to sober to be dealing with you now." I joke and see him smirking to himself and waving his hand, "Tell me about it, now come on dear sis it's time to get out of this dump." Klaus said referring to this rehab center and taking my hand.

We walked out of the building side by side and right when we reached a corner Klaus running like a high school girl went over to meet with a guy to give him some drugs.

"Voila my dear sister of my mine, I've got us breakfast." I stare at my twin brother then at the small bag in his hands. Tiredly I run my hands over my face and shake my .

"I think I'll pass this time I want real good. I have a bit of money, let's go to Griddys?" I suggest. Klaus stared at me lovingly and grabs my shoulder before planting a kiss on my forehead.

"You're literally and angel. Let's go!!" Hand in hand we arrived and Klaus excused himself to head to the bathroom and do his business there.

It's been tiring for me doing this same routine, waking up, doing drugs and following Klaus around. I'm almost in my 30's so I want to change my habits and be the responsible adult I'm suppose to be.

"What's on your mind, sis?" I open my eyes and smile at my brother.

"Nothing, Ben. I'm just happy your here." I tell him and began to drink my coffee. He smiled from across the table and tried taking my hands but we both knew we couldn't feel each other.

"Listen, (Y/N). I don't want to sound like a boring adult but you need to look more after yourself and Klaus. He's in the back doing some more drugs." I look down at my plate full of waffles and bacon and try my best to not cry.

Looking back at Ben I see he's still staring intently at me and caring, "It's hard but I'm trying..Dad put up through a lot of shit and look where it got us." I chuckle and see him frowning.

"(Y/N)..."

Tears begin to run down the sides of my face. Thank God the diner was pretty much empty of people would think I'm more insane than I am. "Everything is fine! Now time for waffles!" I smile wide and before I knew it the plate filled with food flew to the floor, surprising me, so I look over at Ben who did it.

"You need to stop doing this to yourself. I care about you and Klaus so much, and I don't want you two to die either."

The lady working here looked at me confused while picking up the food and bringing me a me order. She slowly left so I spoke up to Ben again, "Remember all the times dad locked me and Klaus in the mausoleum, we were terrified and I hated him every single day even more. I remember those words you told me when you saw the cuts on my arms and wrists..."

"Stay alive for me.."

Ben and I looked at each other and it hurts so much that I can't hug him. "I blame myself for your death you know?" I continue crying.

"Unlike Klaus I don't do the things I do because I'm afraid of the dead, I do them because it's my fault your dead! We were supposed to go home together that day on our mission but I failed to protect you, Ben. I love you and I said those words when it was already too late." Ben stared at me with this loving eyes and smiled sadly.

"It was my decision not yours, stop blaming yourself for something that happened a long time ago. We may not be able to be together like we hoped but at least we can still see each other..I'll continue loving you but you gotta promise me you'll stay sober for me."

My eyes met Ben's again and I slowly nodded my head. "Anything for you, Ben." I blushed and looked down at my lap and notice Ben was gone just in time when Klaus arrived.

"Hey sis! Everything alright?" Klaus asked running his hands over his nose and stealing the waffles from my plate. I watched him chewing it away and making a mess. "Yeah..everything's fine." I whisper smiling at him and messed up his already hair messy hair.

"Hey!" Klaus laughs and reaches to do the same to me. I scoff and handed him the coffee before things got out of hand. "Have your coffee you dummy." Klaus smiled and begins drinking it. "Your the best you know." He says eating the crumbs now. I smirk and nod my head, "I know."

"This just in! The eccentric billionaire known as Reginald Hargreeves has passed away." We both listen to the t.v. behind the counter and we look back to see that indeed our father has passed.

"Shit." I mutter not believing it.

Klaus raises his mug and smiles, "Cheers to the old bastard." I ignore his words and focused on the news. "Brother we have to go." I stand up in a hurry and grabbed onto his scarf tightly and pulled him out of the diner.
