     “Really?” He supposes he shouldn’t be so surprised by such compassion from his sister. But after getting himself practically banned from Diego’s place after one too many shenanigans, the last thing he expected was for any of his siblings to actively invite him over into any space. He’s never been the best house guest— he smells, he’ll eat everything in the fridge, and steal anything of value. It’s not something he’s proud of, but he figured out a long time ago that it’s best to take advantage of his time with such luxuries, because he will always, inevitably, get himself kicked out either way. 

     But Vanya’s offer somehow seems different. No expectations, no strings attached. Such pure hospitality almost makes him want to say no, because surely he is undeserving of such a thing. But unfortunately, Klaus is desperate. With nearly a dozen consecutive sleepless nights under his belt, Klaus is not in the position to reject her, at all. 

     So instead he offers her a small smile, a slight bow of the head. 

     “I…if you don’t mind…I could really use a nice bed.”

“Yeah, sure, it’s the least I can do ever since--” the book, but Vanya lets the words hang in the air. She isn’t sure if Klaus read it, she hasn’t seen him in so long, but he’s her brother, book or no. “It’s not much, a couch and some blankets, but...” it wasn’t like Vanya had much of value to steal anyway, save her precious violin that was the only thing she could remember Dad giving her. “I’m sure it’s better than whatever else you’ve been living with.”

And Vanya’s apartment, indeed, isn’t much. One bedroom, one bathroom with no attaching door, a dull color painting the walls and not much, if any, art to speak of. There are old, very old, music books in a bookcase that are falling apart, things she’s thrifted over the years for practice and audition pieces and teaching. But she can see how tired her brother is, how unhealthy he’s been, and he’s never been the picture of health, but the years they’ve spent apart have only served to make him sickly-looking, and her heart ached for him, especially knowing she might have partly contributed to his current state.

“Just, you know, my meds. I don’t really care what you do, but please don’t take those, I have to go back to Dad’s for refills. And the violin, I can’t afford another one.”

HOW DO YOU BEST LIKE TO BE LOVED ??

stay with me while the storm is strong

we all need someone sometimes, and you often don't feel like you are worth someone remaining. you are, though. i know that you crave for someone to be there and rest their hand against your back during the bad times. for a loving voice to lull you to sleep with a cadence of compassion and a desire to remain. you just want someone to remain. through and past the bad parts when you know it is difficult. you want to fall asleep to their voice and wake up to them still there in the morning. you want them to know the way that you take your tea and keep a box of your favorite flavor in their pantry in case you have a bad night and need to come over. you want to trust someone enough to give them a key to your house. and you deserve it, love. you deserve for someone to linger. you deserve to place your trust in another and know that they'll help you brush your hair if you're just too tired. you deserve for someone to remain.

i’m not gonna do it, but i totally get it.  @ofviolins​

Keta splashed water in her face in the nearly empty bathroom. It had taken her forever to pinpoint the location that was the center point for the origin of the apocalypse. Weeks of planning her trip to the states and making sure that everything was in order — she had expected to find demons or something equally nefarious when she got there. Instead she was met with an orchestra practicing angelic sounding music that left her in awe. The last thing she’d meant to do was strike up a conversation with one of the musicians — she needed to wait for all of them to leave so she could inspect the building to see what made it so important to the destruction of the world. 

“Long day for you too?” She looked up at Vanya through the tall mirror, afraid that the weariness was obvious. “I didn’t actually mean I wish I could blow up the world myself, but it sure does feel that way sometimes.” 

Practice had been rough, complete with more snide comments from Helen about her mediocrity and a day full of beginners at lessons after practice. She had, of course, noticed a person coming in. Though the practices for the orchestra were typically closed, it wasn’t a hard policy, and she honestly just assumed the other woman was waiting to pick up another person from the orchestra. Family members would sit in on practice often, especially family members of new or younger instrumentalists. But that clearly wasn’t the case, seeing how most everyone had left by this point. 

“Long day ahead of me, more like. My family does make it tempting, though, if you know anything about them. My brother should be arriving in town today.”

▌█ ∵   🎩   ∵ █ ▌    Things had changed for EVERYONE she doesn’t blame her for how she felt. Sometimes she MISSED traveling with other people like herself. Not with POWERS but outliers in the world.  She offers a SYMPATHETIC smile lightly placing her hand on the others shoulder.  ❝ Don’t apologize, I have been kind of a dick to all of you since we met, the least you can do is insult my family. It doesn’t detract from your situation either, you deserve good things Vanya. ❞ Slight quip in her words before TAKING a moment to collect her own thoughts, tame a GALAXY BRAIN that had been a constant in her own life. Her world, her life could always be WHATEVER she wanted nothing was too far for her reach or POWERS. Goodbyes were never needed for her anyway. She GAVE UP on that when she stopped projecting her mom years ago. No one was worth one again.  ❝ It’s okay to be upset. Sometimes I want to go back, I spent so long in a different life, in a new world it became home. I know that the others want to deal with whatever we all screwed up but, would it be better if we could find out what happened to both Sissy and Harlan for you before that ? I can take the heat from Five if he says shit about it too. I mean, the kid went for themannequinn last time when he needed peace again the least he can do is this for you ❞

“Come on, Faye. You haven’t been that much of an ass.” Vanya offered a small smile. Team Zero had tried to make everyone get along better, but just renaming the Academy wasn’t going to magically make everyone like each other. Ever since discovering her powers again, the world had become too much for Vanya to process, too fast, too loud, too overwhelming to try and stop her emotions from taking over. So, at Faye’s offer, eyes started to turn white, wind began to blow all around them. Part of Vanya wanted, more than anything, to find what happened to Sissy and Harlan. But another part, a bigger part, knew that finding out was admitting defeat, that she’d never be safe to bring them to 2019. Slowly, she calmed down, focused on her heartbeat without letting the energy build. “I’m coming back for them, when it’s safe. Finding out what happened to them, that’s admitting that I won’t see them again.”

“It’s not family. I know I lost them when I wrote the book. I lost them again when I blew up the moon. I get that they don’t forgive me. I don’t know if I’d forgive me. But Sissy and Harlan, how do you say goodbye to people who were your whole life, that you’re leaving behind like that?” She’d barely gotten a chance to say goodbye, and now Sissy was probably dead, and Harlan was old, maybe institutionalized somewhere. They’d lived an entire life together, and now they had to live an entire life apart. “I’m sorry. I know it’s not like I lost my family the way you lost yours, but that month, it was the most peaceful I’d been my whole life.” Part of her wanted to be numb again, turned off to the world.

@ofviolins​​ said: ’ i don’t want to be alone. ’ 

▌█ ∵   🎩   ∵ █ ▌   She had never been alone, not until she was 19, she didn’t UNDERSTAND things the same way Vanya did but, she KNEW what it was like to feel outcasted. School had always been HARD for her. It was clear she just needed SOMEONE she could count on and it was TRAGIC to think that none of her SIBLINGS would offer that to her. Being an ONLY CHILD gave Faye some advantages and this was ONE of them.   ❝ Look, Vanya I know I just kind of stumbled into all of this and your family but— If you ever need someone I am here okay? ❞ Faye was never the NICEST person especially after she was kicked out of her HOUSE but, she was trying to be BETTER. Vanya was kind and in that kindness Faye saw a deep desire to just connect with someone. What happened to her, from the brief skimming that Faye did of her book wasn’t FAIR. And if she could offer anything to the other, even to just be there for her when she needed she was GOING TO DO THAT.  ❝ I know what it is like to have family betray you so if you ever want to get a drink and talk about it, or just you know, talk about anything I’ll be your girl deal ? ❞

❛ You were trying to get yourself killed, which is what this family does best is get killed. ❜

“I couldn’t let her go, Five. I was protecting them. Carl was going to send Harlan off to an institution and Sissy would’ve been trapped in that marriage, and--” You forget how small your world is, her words echoed in Vanya’s mind.

“We weren’t supposed to get caught by the cops, okay? Carl sent his brother to make sure I didn’t take her or Harlan. How was I supposed to know they’d think I’m KGB? I didn’t even know what KGB was.”

oh.  now  this  is  interesting.  quick  turn  of  heel,  hands  already  folding  one  over  the  other  and  to  his  chest.  navy  silk  crumbled  under  fingertips.  eyebrows  already  raised  in  a  surprise  he  didn’t  even  bother  to  hide.  she  must  be  a  fan,  right?  of  course  she  was.  instant  laugh  of  realization  had  a  hand  already  going  out  as  if  ready  to  thank  her  for  a  compliment  she  hadn’t  voiced.

“did  i  say  that?  ah — well,  you  know….you  can’t  knock  it  until  you  try  it  and  all  that.”           a  quick  wave  of  the  hand  that  already  hovered  between  them.  to  be  honest,  klaus  didn’t  know  why  he  had  come  to  the  show,  a  compulsion  if  you  will,  maybe.  a  whisper  in  his  head  he  couldn’t  bother  to  silence.  almost  like  all  of  his  ‘whispers’.  quick  smile  and  he’s  blocking  out  those  thoughts  with  some  tried  and  true  deflection.           “so,  the  music  thing  huh? — you’ve,  uh,  been  doing  that  long?”

There was a lack of recognition in Klaus’ eyes that filled Vanya with a sense of dread. The gestures, the expression and surprise, it was all her older brother, or what memories she had of him, anyway. The same looks he gave when she caught him with his hand in the unicorn for his stash when they shared a room when Vanya was home for winter break. Unless he... forgot?

“well, i guess you’re right, you haven’t wanted to go to any of my concerts unless i -” wait. Was Klaus the type to fall into fortune, enough for this kind of outfit, twice? Or was Klaus, her Klaus, not this one. The question was what sealed it for her. “yeah, i’ve only been doing music since i was seven,” she replied. “i’m sorry, you’re just the spitting image of my brother.” But if he answered to Klaus? He very well could be Klaus, just not her Klaus. “Vanya Hargreeves. And you are?” she asked, holding her hand out in introduction.

“  my heart is coming back for more.  ”

“  you’re a natural.  ”

“  that’s the price you pay.  ”

“  i’ll do whatever it takes.  ”

“  ‘cause i love the adrenaline in my veins.  ”

“  always had the fear of being typical.  ”

“  did you find something better there?  ”

“  suddenly we’re in a hurry.  ”

“  don’t come here asking for help.  ”

“  you’re still the only thing i’ve done right.  ”

“  will you love me when my phone turns off?  ”

“  i got the good side of things.  ”

“  left you with both of the rings.  ”

“  baby, i apologize.  ”

“  i didn’t call ‘cause it wouldn’t be fair.  ”

“  found arms to fall right into.  ”
