    Summary

    "You're really something else, huh," Klaus says. Ben only hears his voice waver because he's listening for it. He feels like he's holding Klaus in the palm of his hand.

    "I don't ever do this," Ben says, but it's the drink talking. He'd never admit it sober. "It doesn't freak you out?"

    He doesn't mean to phrase it as a question, but it's too late to take it back. (It's the end of the universe talking, whispering, you have nothing else left to lose.)

    Klaus' smile is small, and it disappears too quickly for Ben to have time to think about where it comes from.

    Klaus says, "I was never scared of you."
