Ben has to take a moment to process that. He's glad that Vanya told Klaus that it hadn't been on him. It had been Ben that was scared, terrified of taking the next step, but yeah, of course he'd had moments of frustration when Klaus didn't tell the others he was there. But, so what? It's not like he would've held a conversation with them. He and Klaus could manifest, with a lot of work and given how Ben's last possession of Klaus had gone, it probably wouldn't have worked long term.
"Klaus," Ben says, because it's so important that he tells him, not Vanya. "I'm the one who didn't want to go. I was scared. I clung to what you gave me because I wanted to, not because you were keeping me here."
He laughs, though, because, "I was pissed at you in Dallas too," he admits freely. "Trying to get you to be responsible for your cult." Because of his crush, he couldn't ignore that part. "Look, I know..." He breathes in and then out shakily. "I know this isn't gonna be perfect, but I'm alive, Klaus," he confesses, voice wavering slightly. "If I did choose to move on, it brought me right back to you, so guess I'm not too pissed at you, right?"
