I Doodled Something During History Class (online) So I Might As Well Dump This Here As Proof That This

So this one night, Ben stumbles onto someone's yard and thinks it his own. The cops get called, and bring him three doors down to his a c t u a l home. aka: the academy

Ben is covered is bruises and cuts. He doesn't say anything but he starts sobbing, like full blown, snot and tears mingling on his chin sobbing.

Diego and Allison are awake and they try to calm him down. It doesn't work, he cries harder. Eventually they say fuck it and pull Klaus out of his room (he was awake because like. fuck sleep.)

So they beg him to h e l p because they have no fucking clue what to do and they know that Klaus is the only damn person Ben will listen to.

So Klaus. Sits there. Holds Ben's hand and nods along to what Ben says even though he has no fucking clue what he is actually saying.

He hands him tissues and runs his fingers through his hair.

They don't talk. They sit. Ben cries and pokes at his wounds and keeps crying about how he got brought home by the cops. It's a thing-and-a-half.

Eventually, Ben stops crying and just, laughs. Because he got brought home by the cops and went to the same bar six times and barley remembers his name, and it's not funny but it is.

His laughter is hallow though. Empty. And it sounds maniacal.

Klaus feels like crying and tries to get Ben to got upstairs and sleep. But Ben keeps on insisting he wants a smoke. Changes the subject a million and one times.

Klaus has tried anger and kindness and exasperation. But it's not working, so he just, sits there, next to Ben.

Ben pushes him off whenever Klaus tries to comfort. Ben talks too loudly to even be considered sober.

And quietly, Klaus says that maybe Ben needs help. And Ben lets out a harsh laugh and says: "No shit I need help. I actually...I've been thinking about it."

Klaus knows Ben won't remember saying this. That he'll get up and start drinking again. But there's...a glimmer of hope. He has a glimmer of hope that maybe, maybe Ben'll be okay.

So Klaus listens to the birds chirp and sees the sun rise through his window, and he thinks about everything.

Klaus has hope; he won't let that go. Not yet.

“…anyone?”

just a random headcanon:

where klaus has a really long an elaborate coffee order and ben has memorized it because he loves him.

ben also made his coffee order really simple just so klaus could remember it. ben still has to help him remember it sometimes though lol

klaus buys both coffees and drinks them both even though he doesn’t even like ben’s order.

i love my coffee boys :,)

I absolutely love it. Thank you!!

some headcanons for ben once he’s back alive?

these are some dark ones lol sorry

•ben comes back to life. he's freezing cold, yet his stomach burns and aches with something unsettled

•one of the first things he does is try to eat. the smell of food quickly becomes too strong and nauseating. he vomits out all his dinner

•he forgets that the others can hear him, and tends to only address klaus when speaking

•his skin aches for contact, for touch, starved of it after 14 years of being incorporeal

•his siblings greet him with big hugs.

•the touch is overwhelming, and he quickly has to excuse himself for a break. only klaus can physically contact him for a while after that.

•he forgets how to eat, how to sleep, forgets to breathe and blink.

•after years of built up codependency, it becomes habit and a comfort to ben. the others have to stress to him that he is independent.

•he finds himself still lingering around klaus like a shadow. he slowly grows controlling with knowing where klaus is, what he's doing, now that he isn't around to see.

•anxiety claws at him at long bouts of separation.

•he tries desperately to bond with his other siblings, but forgets how to respond in certain social situations.

•his stomach burns from The Horror being alive again. It rumbles and claws under his skin when he tries to sleep

I can’t wait to see Cowboy in action

Someone on Reddit found out who the stunt doubles are needed for, as well as any new character not from the main s1 cast, and what episodes they are in. Of course, I don’t think we can really glean much from there being a stunt double for ‘Number 5′ for all 10 episodes because I’m sure they use Aidan’s double a lot for things Five is supposed to do. (Like, he’s not allowed to be on set if there’s gunfire it’s against the child actor laws, and other things that I’m sure are actual stunts) but the rest of this is very interesting. 

[Part 2] Ben Hugreeves

my hopes are with the dead
