( look, he's not going to be the one to crack first, so the only solution here is to just...keep up the shake. for a weirdly long time, but it's not exactly the weirdest thing klaus has done today alone.
possibly the weirdest thing josh has done, but that's not surprising. for an odd little necromancer witch with a weird old past, he's pretty much a square. )
That's absolutely not what you were supposed to take from that but sure.
( there isn't enough space for two on the couch. hell, there's barely enough space for two in the house, but this is seriously a tight squeeze. he grumbles and fidgets, but it's easy enough to find a more or less comfortable spot. )
Jesus, do you mind?
( but he's already working to untangle the knot of sheets around him, with the vague intention of maybe throwing them over both of their legs instead. )
[in a streak of very un-Klaus like kindness, he's been careful not to push anything too quickly, sensing that maybe his ideas of acceptable breaches of personal space and the amount of necessary time passed before you can ask someone if they're down to make out are maybe a little different from Josh's.
he's just getting a little. antsy.]
Not at all, thanks ever so much for asking.
[spotting Josh's fiddling, Klaus sweeps the blanket out of his hands, and throws it over them both instead. if he'd been patient, it would have happened anyway as a sweet gesture, but Klaus has never known how to be anything close.]
So what were you dreaming about? Before I woke you up. Assuming you have dreams.
( so now they're just sitting on this tiny ass couch, crammed together under josh's blankets, like this is just a thing that they do. maybe this is just klaus's brand of normal – he's always been a pretty tactile guy, right? he doesn't think too much about the coven these days, but now he's trying to remember how klaus was there.
it's totally reasonable to assume that this is just...how he is. josh can be normal about this, he absolutely can. )
Obviously I dream!
( he really can't. )
If you're angling for me to say 'you' you're going to be disappointed, it was just ghosty shit. What were you doing before you woke me up in the middle of the night?
[if Josh is struggling to remember what Klaus' time at the coven was like, then Klaus definitely doesn't remember. he remembers Josh, though. that's basically all. he remembers their first conversation, and their last, the night Klaus (was asked politely) decided to leave. he didn't want it to be their Last last. he's glad it wasn't.
he laughs at Josh's outburst, entirely too loud for the hour.]
Alright, chill out! So you dream, cool. Fab for you.
[this time Klaus leans forward just enough to poke Josh's nose. apparently no part of his face is safe.]
That's okay Osh Josh. Can't rush these things! I'm sure I'll make an appearance in the near future. Anyway I was just- you know. Making ends meet. Pounding the pavement. Bringing home the bacon, keeping the lights on at home base, making the moolah.
