Another thing we all tend to laugh off as a moment of comedic gold, is when Five’s temporal anomaly appears, and Klaus screams “OUT OF THE WAY,” rushes at it without a thought as to his own safety, tries to “put it out” with a fire extinguisher, then hurtles the whole extinguisher at the anomaly.
Allison begs to understand his plan, and he wails “Well I dunno, do you have any other ideas?!” and as funny as that genuinely is, Klaus also flung his scrawny body at an unknown danger with any tools at hand, for the sake, once again, of protecting his siblings.
This is not a new impulse, and it’s easy for us to forget in the storm of Season Two and the way he conceals Ben from the others (I’ve talked about why that is, elsewhere, too, if anyone’s interested <3 ) but Klaus has always tried to protect and/or comfort his siblings.
There’s the Klaus and Luther scene, just after Luther learns Reginald sent him to the moon for no reason, which leads ultimately to Klaus actually dying to try to pull Luther out of his depression.
There’s, as I’ve discussed, the way Klaus tries to convince everyone that Vanya isn’t necessarily a danger if they just ask her how she feels about her newfound White Violin powers, and don’t lock her up in the same cell where she was stuck as a child:
There’s immediately embracing and kissing Vanya when he sees her again:
There’s Allison facing race riots in Season Two, and Klaus immediately pulling her to safety, and leading her away from the police: later to help her bury the body of one of the Swedes, without question: in fact, maintaining calm and composure for Allison and Ray, who are both understandably shaken.
There’s telling Diego he “looks like Antonio Banderas” to help buoy him up emotionally to go into a ground zero of Vanya’s powers.
There’s frankly Klaus letting Ben piggyback off his whole life, because Ben’s “scared to go to the light” and wants some connection back to their family, and even letting Ben possess him to kiss a girl, which proves to be tremendously unpleasant physically and mentally (this when Klaus already suffers from issues of bodily autonomy because of his powers AND his war PTSD). And forgiving Ben immediately thereafter when Ben doesn’t respect his “stop now.”
And how about when they’re children? Same deal. For instance, in a flashback in the pilot, hugging Allison while both cry after getting their Umbrella tattoos.
Basically this is just a big old Klaus stan post, for his instinctual, innate sweetness and supportiveness.

Do you think Klaus even meant to start the cult or did he just fall out of the sky talking to ghosts in front of a group of people and they all just went “yep, that guy’s a prophet” and started fawning over him. And then his dramatic touch starved gay ass went “oh? Attention?” and just embraced it
