SUMMARY: The thing about Klaus Hargeeves and the titles he had was that, for all the bad and bloodied ones he’d accumulated over his weirdly-long-but-should-have-been-shorter lifetime– nothing hurt more than becoming a stranger.

Klaus Hargeeves had accumulated more than his fair share of titles over the course of his weirdly-long-but-should-have-been-shorter lifetime.
Before the first Apocalypse, he’d been Klaus: Number Four. The Séance. Family fuck-up and resident weirdo.
When he’d ended up smack-dab in the middle of the Vietnam war, the list only grew from there: Private Hargreeves. Soldier. Murderer.
The titles were no less bloody than his first few, and maybe if he’d saved Dave the additions might’ve been an easier pill to swallow.
But Klaus lost Dave anyway and though he wasn’t into the swallowing business nowadays (of pills, that is), the dog tags he wore beneath his torn shirt were a bitter reminder that death and misery would follow him always.
Even after leaving The Umbrella Academy.
When he and his family failed to save the world the first time (which, according to a very snappish Five, was not technically the first time; very tensed up man-child, mind you)–Klaus, as always, did what he did best.
He accepted the cards he’d been dealt with, and he settled.
And for the most part, things were okay. Delightful, even.
Amongst his Cult, he’d been a Messiah. God.
As if God wasn’t already fucked up for putting him through all the shit he’d been through, Klaus accepted the monicker with a grain of salt and revelled in the false sense of security it gave him.
So long as he was God, nothing would touch him or his people.
Because, for all that Klaus was unlucky, for all that he was unfortunate when it came to too-bloody-titles and titles that were false in every way, somehow he’d ended up in 1960 with not only Ben, but with you, too.
From 1960 to 1962, the years you shared together–you, consoling him first after an argument with Ben before astral projecting yourself between worlds to coax your boyfriend back; Ben, always disagreeing with anything to do with Destiny’s Children until you’d concede sweetly in turn; and him, teasing Ben mercilessly for making him a third-wheel but purposely making him more tangible so his love-struck brother could rest his head above your heart–reminded Klaus of the only good titles he had alongside his name.
To the world (old and new), Klaus Hargreeves was known as many things. Weird things. Bloody things. But to Ben, his Benirrino, Klaus was his brother.
He could be overwhelming to a fault, he knew, but Ben–angry, bitter and emo Benny boy– loved him all the same. And Klaus would’ve died a happy bastard knowing he had at least one sibling with him 60 years in the past.
With you, [N/N], Klaus didn’t quite know why you’d stuck with him after Ben had died in the original timeline. Until the epiphany came to him between nights you sought each other to grieve and days you went looking for a new high that he’d never had a best-friend before.
He might’ve been responsible for half the stress you were constantly under, but you had accepted him anyways and always in the ways that mattered and for that, Klaus would make do with a sappy Ben if it meant having you there with him, too.
After two glorious years of just being Ben’s playful brother and [Y/N]’s chaotic best-friend, Klaus thought he could well and truly live if he only ever had to answer to these two titles.
And then, Five re-appeared.
The rest of his family, too.
And suddenly, the world was back on a timer.
Klaus had to be Number Four again. Had to be The Séance, the Soldier.
If they wanted an edge over the Temps Time Commission, he had to bring out the whole shabam and play into everything Daddy-dearest ever wanted of him in order to do anything and return to a timeline where he was all these shitty titles (some shameful, some not) and then some.
And while he could’ve done it, could’ve accepted the bitter reality-check like the good little Solider that he was–it became a little harder for Klaus to just settle with the cards he’d been dealt with when Ben dies saving Viktor.
It becomes even worse when, just as the two of you are almost out, almost back-in-your-original timeline, you decide to shield Allison during a barrage of gunfire.
Klaus had seen you first amidst the chaos–eyes wide, hands trembling–and had cheered in a moment of drunken stupor before Five called your name. Had called for you as though he couldn’t see you even though you were standing right there...
He barely manages to process what’s happened and the fact he’s lost his brother and best-friend all in one sweep (He sees Dave in the distance, and blood roars in his ears) before Viktor’s at his side, gently holding onto his hand with the echo of grief in his eyes as Five opens the briefcase.
The last image he sees of 1962 is the small, sad, smile of your apparition as he falls forward in time and into a world that spits at everything he ever was.
Because there, in 2019, is Ben.
Alive. Breathing. Whole.
“Dad, who are these assholes?” his brother’s voice echoes through the long room, Klaus’ stomach lurching as Ben considers them without a hint of recognition.
His heart swells and the breaks again because with that question, his brother dies again.
“Come on Ben, play nice...” To the collective surprise and horror mounting amongst his family, your gentle voice cuts through the air as you step out from behind his brother to place a hand on his shoulder.
Flushed and lively despite being dead only a few moments prior–he’s not the only one disoriented seeing you in front of them.
“But he does have a point,” you continue onward, uncaring of the sharp breath Allison takes (your blood is still splattered on her face) or the way Diego’s eyes dart between you and Ben; side by side, even in another life.
“Who are you and why are you here?”

So I know I you won’t see this but I was hoping to give you an idea as a gift? You can of course decline this if you want, just figured you’d like it.
The Idea: the horror is unaffected by time, so when they sense Klaus in the room (the only one not afraid of them) they refuse to attack him and Sparrow!Ben gets angry. Klaus just starts playing with the horror like nothings wrong. Can be ship or gen
(I will also stay anonymous unless you want a name)
Hi anon, I read your message. I read all the messages you send me, but sometimes I don't answer them, because most of them are requests, and we have seen that it takes me forever to complete or make the requests. I know, it's a bad habit, but I read the messages, I love them and I love to know about your ideas and curiosities. I feel it makes us closer.
Love your gift and I hope I can return this gift with this humble story, which I hope you like.
I've decided to leave it at Gen but many may take it as the beginning of a ship between SparrowBen and Klaus, but I'll leave it up to each reader.
Your idea was great, it's a pity it took me so long. And regarding anonymity, it's up to you dear anon, I would love to know you and talk to you (You can write me messages if you want). My mailbox and my private messages are always open for you.
By the way, just to comment, this idea you sent, reminds me of an @imrights drawing, where one of the tentacles says to Klaus "I remember you". That drawing is as wonderful as your idea, so thank you very much. Hope to hear more from you soon.
Chapter 30: Klaus valentine´s day (We remember you)
"Wrong," says Reginald, to then affirm with certainty "This is Sparrow Academy".
Footsteps behind them make them slowly turn around.
Is that a floating cube? Klaus wonders as he sees the five individuals on the second floor.
"Dad. Who the hell are these idiots?" the familiar voice has them all dumbfounded. And none of them can express themselves or move.
No one expected to see Ben again. A totally alive and so different Ben. From the color of the uniform, the strange hairstyle, the overbearing attitude, or the scar on his face.
Klaus can find a word in his vocabulary, he can't think of one, but his brothers seem to have a "Shit!" yes, that word doesn't sound bad at all to describe the situation they are in.
This is not his world, or maybe it is, but this is not his Ben and Klaus have to wonder if maybe staying in the past would have been better. Would his brothers be pissed if he went out for drugs or alcohol or both? Because, honestly, he's too sober for this shit.

So,
I disappeared because end of the year sadness/many things to do just to come back with yet a new terrible sad idea for a new story lol (not that sad tho)
and I may have been coping with xmas sadness by writing a Klaus/SparrowBen Five/SparrowBen smut. (and, sure, Klaus and Five do kiss while taking care of Ben, but I don’t even consider it Klaus/Five kkkkkkkk)
And I also came to the conclusion that my take on Klaus is that he’s a service top 80% of the time, Sparrow Ben is mostly a bottom, brelly Ben is a Dom and doesn’t really have a preference for toping os bottoming(although I think he’d sub for Viktor any time) and Five is a full switch.
I don’t think Five would ever lay a finger on BrellyBen, but he’d fuck SparrowBen. (That Brelly Ben is a voyeur I think we all agree on that tho)
So I did only sit on my laptop today to write this Klaus/OldFive story. I’ll make it short. I’m tired of long storiessssss
anyway
hi
