The Boy and The Psycho

I Heard a Rumor

Klaus smiles as he pours Luther's cup of coffee while Luther looks down at the table with his hood covering his head.

"Here we go. This'll fix ya." 

Luther slowly raises the cup of hot coffee to his mouth before Five snatches it from his hands. 

I look over and see my love wearing his blue-striped pajamas sipping the coffee before taking a seat next to Luther. 

Klaus turns to me and fills my cup then the one next to me where no one is actually sitting. 

"Nice, Okay." He says as he finishes pouring everyone's cups.

"Jesus. Who do I gotta kill to get a decent cup of coffee." Five exclaims as he sets down the cup onto the table.

"Can we get started?" Luther mumbles.

I adjust my spot in my chair, pulling my legs up to my chest and adjusting my panties. 

"Anyone see any of the others? Diego? Allison? No?" Klaus asks looking around at us all. 

I shrug my shoulders and shake my head as I take another sip of my coffee.

"All right, then, this is the closest thing to a quorum..." Klaus says and bangs his spatula on the table.

"... that we're gonna get." He finishes.

Luther closes his eyes and grabs his head.

"Now, listening up. There's no easy way to say this, so I'm just gonna spit it out. Yeah." Klaus stops talking and stares forward not looking at any of us.

We all sit in silence waiting for Klaus to go on. I lean forward and widen my eyes gesturing for Klaus to go on.

"Klaus." Luther starts.

"I conjured Dad last night." He finally spits out.

I take another sip from my coffee as we sit in silence yet again.

We silently look around at each other then turn back to Klaus.

"I thought you said you haven't been able to conjure anyone in years." Luther points out.

"Ah, yes, I know, but I'm sober. Ta-da! I got clean, yesterday, to talk to someone special, and then ended up having this... conversation with dear old Daddy himself." He explains.

Luther looks across the table at me and sighs.

"Has anyone got some aspirin?" He asks.

"Top shelf, next to the crackers." Five says pointing his cup to the shelf behind me.

"Hey, hey, hey. This is serious, guys, all right?" Klaus says whipping his spatula around in the air. 

Luther sighs and falls back into his seat grabbing his head.

"This really happened, I swear." Klaus adds.

"Okay, fine, I'll play. What did the old man have to say?" Five asks his raising his hands in defeat.

I smile at Five and sip my coffee again looking back over to Klaus.

"Well, he gave me the usual lecture about my appearance and my failures in life. Yada yada yada. No surprise there. Even the afterlife couldn't soften a hardass like Dad, right? But he did mention something about his murder, or lack thereof, because... he killed himself." Klaus finishes and looks up at us.

I sit there frozen staring at him unsure of what to believe. 

"I don't have time for your games, Klaus." Luther says getting up and pulling his hood back off of his head.
