"You're going to make my mascara run," Klaus says as he puts his palm on Ben's face and pushes him back, because it's easier to joke than to say how much that means to him to hear, or how much it means that Ben is actually here.
"And by help Vanya, you mean save the entire world." He smiles at Ben, keeping one hand on his shoulder just because he can. "You always were the most humble of all the Hargreeves."
Klaus slings his arm around Ben's shoulders again and leads him back towards the street, finding his sandals where he left on the edge of the sidewalk. A breeze rolls through, fluttering both his hair and Ben's, and Klaus gives him a squeeze.
"Now you have a chance to live," he says, just before reaching out to pat Ben's chest with his other hand. "You got your packet and all that, right? Got your apartment? Well, fuck that place, because Five got us a house? Like, a whole house for Christmas. So, you'll move in, obviously."
He lets go of Ben to dance ahead, turning to face him and clapping his hands excitedly as he walks backwards. "They'll be so excited."
