#when Reginald went to leave breakfast for him I was expecting at least one scream

[alicecyone]

maybe I'm thinking about it a lot, but I would have loved to see a bigger confrontation between Viktor and Reginald, I mean all the siblings were openly angry with him but Viktor was too normal WHY. Viktor, because of that man you spent years drugged, at least punch him in the face

Chapter 8: How To Turn Your Stupidity Into a Sexy Attitude

The next day, (Y/N) was happy to wake up and see Klaus sleeping beside her. He looked so calm and graceful, mouth slightly opened. 

She took a bath and changed in the bathroom, kissed Klaus goodbye in the forehead, and went downstairs to have breakfast. 

When she enters the kitchen, Luther and Alisson are eating in silence, and Grace is making her juice. 

-Guten Morgen!- she greets them with a wide smile. 

-Morning, (Y/N)- Luther responds while Alisson waves. 

-Got any plans for today, Luther?

-Not really. 

-Good- she thanks Grace for the juice and drinks it-. So, you're staying home? 

-Yeah. 

-May I ask you a favor?

Alisson looks at her with a frown. Since when they were so friendly to each other?

-Uh, sure. 

-Can you take care of Klaus?- she takes a piece of bread with peanut butter Grace is offering her-. I don't expect you to prevent him from taking anything, he's good at snicking. But, can you watch out he doesn't have an overdose or choke in his vomit? 

-Yeah, don't worry- Luther gives her a small smile-. He has survived on his own all these years, I bet he can make it through a couple of hours. I'll keep an eye on him, though. 

-Thanks. I've to go, see you later. 

(Y/N) starts walking towards the door when Alisson's voice stops her:

-Where are you going?

-To work. Ren, my boss, will be very angry if I arrive late, so I better hurry up. 

-You work?

-Yeah, at the flower shop, downtown. Come to visit any time you want, I'll give you a discount. 

-Thanks- Luther says. 

-Well, bye. 

She takes the car since it's raining and chilly. 

As soon as she stops in front of the shop, Ren runs out to meet her, an incomplete bouquet of roses on his hand. 

-Finally! I couldn't sleep last night out of curiosity. Tell me everything! 

She laughs as she gets out of the car. Then, she walks inside the shop, the scent of various flowers receiving her. 

-Girl, stop playing around and spill the tea! 

-Well... 

-Oh, no!- Lile, Ren's sister, enters the shop with three coffees and a box of donuts-. Did I miss the story? Shit! No, you gotta tell it again! 

-She was just about to tell it!- Ren takes his coffee-. So shut your mouth and listen. 

-Oh, sorry. Here's your coffee, Voss. Soy milk, I remembered this time.

-Thanks, Lile.

-So, how did he react when he saw you? 

-Did he kiss you? 

-Where did he take you yesterday? 

-Did you meet his family? 

(Y/N) laughs. 

-Hold up! One question at the time. Well... He was with all his siblings when he saw me. I presented myself, but he was too busy drinking at the bar, so I called his attention by saying his names- she sights-. And when he saw me, he smiled and ran to hug me. Oh, guys, it was amazing! I could have died there and then. 

-So, no kiss?- Lile seemed disappointed. 

-No. But we did sleep in the same bed- Ren looks at her mischievously-. Just sleep, nothing else. 

-And where you went yesterday? 

-We drove around town, he wanted to show me some spots from his childhood- she lied-. We went with his niece, it was so fun! 

She extended her hand to take her coffee. 

-And...- Lile is interrupted by her brother. 

-OH MY GOD!- he takes (Y/N) by the wrist and gets closer-. You got married!? 

-AH!- Lile screams, almost climbing the front desk to see the band-. Girl, how you got that in such a short notice? 

-How dare you not invite us? 

-Yeah! We've been hearing you talk about "your soulmate" for almost three years! 

-Guys, no, no...- she looks at the ring, sad-. I didn't marry him, it was a silly game we were playing yesterday with his niece. And the ring belonged to Sir Reginald's wife, it was given to me as a gift. 

-Oh- Lile sits back-. I kind of expected a more cinematic rencounter, you know? I mean, after not seeing each other for four years, that's the least...

The front door opens, the bells hanging from it ringing, and a tall redhead man looking at his phone enters. 

-Hi, Dylan- Ren smiles at him. 

-Hey, guys- he looks up from his phone-. Oh, (Y/N), you're back!

-What are you doing here, Hitchcock?- she asks in a soft tone. 

-Oh, so now that the Hargreeves kid had come back you don't want to see me?- he fakes being offended. 

-Don't be silly- she laughs as he approaches the front desk-. It's just weird you're here, you only come on Mondays and Thursdays. 

-Yeah, but Janet's daughter went to the office yesterday and tore the flowers, and her mom can't wait till Thursday- he winces-. Anyway, can you make her usual arrangement, please? 

-Oh, sure- Lile goes to the back of the store-. It'll be in ten minutes. 

-Thanks- he rests his arms on the desk-. How was rencounter? 

-Oh, boy, I've seen more interesting dates in National Geographic- Ren answers, watering some plants-. Don't let that ring fool you, it's just a present. 

-For me, it was perfect- (Y/N) replies-. Coffee? 

Dylan takes a sip from her cup and rubs his eyes. 

-Man, I'm so tired. But hey, at least I have a day off tomorrow. 

-Oh, it's your birthday! 32, right? 

-Yeap- he gets closer to her-. I don't know if Lile and Ren already told you, but we're reuniting at my apartment later today. It's something small, just some drinks and snacks... Would you like to come? 

-I'd love to! 

-Great, this is my address and phone number- he writes it down on a piece of paper at the counter-. It starts at 7. 

-Th...

Outside the shop, a taxi skids and a man dressed in black with a pink scarf rolls on the hood. He had his hands full of candy and snacks and was being chased by a policeman. 

-Can you excuse me?- (Y/N) says to Dylan as she runs outside. 

-Where are you going?- Ren asks, but she doesn't answer. 

Outside the shop, she rushes to the other side of the street. 

-Klaus! Klaus!

-Oh, hi, honey!

He doesn't stop running, but the officer does.

-Miss Voss, you know him?

-Unfortunately, I do- she turns to see him-. I apologize, Officer Evans. I'll pay for what he took. 

-Alright. 

After she paid for everything, (Y/N) went to look for Klaus, and found him sitting on the sidewalk, eating some chips. 

-What are you doing here?

-Love, hi... You want chocolate?- he offered her a bar. 

-No- she looked around-. Are you here alone?

-I'm sorry, sorry- she hears Luther behind her. She glares at him-. I got distracted talking with Five, sorry. 

-Don't worry, I don't think someone can stop him, to be honest. 

-Klaus, we need to go back to the house. 

-Oh, sure. 

He stands up, blinks an eye to his friends, and gives her the bar of chocolate.

-You owe me $30- she says.

-We're married, what's yours it's mine- he does a dramatic bow and leaves. 

(Y/N) can't help but smile.
