The World No Longer Collapses

Requested by: @jackys-stuff-blog

Cuddling with Klaus Hargreeves would look something like this…

• We can all agree that Klaus seems like a very affectionate person.
• Cheek kisses, holding hands, hugs… literally everything and anything. It’s the result of a touch starved childhood.
• You indulged his affections and the only way to describe how he made you feel was warm. It was nice having someone who would hold you and pour all their love and affection for you.
• And when Klaus showed you affection it felt genuine. His flighty personality made it so that every small act of touch made you blush knowing that somewhere in his mind he was thinking of you.
• It was… rather nice.
• Now of course relationships are boundary breaking and by far one of the largest boundaries broken was your problem with sleeping.
• Overthinking was a killer and sleep had always been hard. Your mind could never shut down and the only way to describe your issue was, as you had told Klaus, “like the world was collapsing in on itself”.
• “That sounds really awful.”
• “Tell me about it.”
• So one night, Klaus decided to stay over. It was only slightly nerve wracking for you. You were scared of him falling asleep and you still being… well awake.
• Klaus was aware of your situation as refrained himself from touching you as he fell asleep beside you.
• The moment worked out exactly how you thought… Klaus asleep and you awake and anxious and fighting off the urge to shift.
• You failed at that.
• You tried to shift quietly but Klaus heard you regardless. He let out a groan. “You’re still up?”
• “Sorry.” You murmured.
• He rubbed his eyes. “No, no! It’s fine. It’s not your fault.”
• You softly smiled. “I didn’t mean to wake you.”
• “I think it’s a good thing seeing as you aren’t asleep. I’d rather stay up all night with you then have you suffer alone.”
• You grin, his words cheering you up. “I know. I just wish there was a way for me to stop thinking for one fucking moment.”
• He nods, his eyes seeming to be lost in thought. Klaus looked at you calmly. “Do you trust me?”
• You nodded.
• And that moment changed everything. He still faced you, looking you in the eyes as he slightly shifted. His arms wrapped around your back, lightly pushing you closer to him. Surprisingly, you didn’t panic. In fact, you collapsed into his warmth. Your head fell against his chest and you felt his lips kiss your temple.
• It was the best night of sleep you had ever gotten.
• From there, Klaus slept over every night and he held you. Your mind no longer raced down highways and you stopped tossing and turning.
• And Klaus… he was overjoyed that he had somehow managed to solve your problem. He felt needed and that was something rare to him.
• “Hey, Klaus?”
• “Yeah, Y/N?”
• “Thank you.”
• “For what?”
• “For being here.” you murmured. “When I’m with you, the world no longer collapses.”
• “Really?”
• “Really.” a very affectionate person.
