After everything that had been happening, a good drinking session and a party when I’d been released from hospital seemed like a good idea, but then again curling up into a ball and not waking up for about a month also seemed like a good idea.
Things would never be the way they had been, and I knew that. I would always have a scar on my jaw and stomach from the stabbing and I was having nightmares, frequently. The nightmares were always near enough the same; Kristoph in a secluded place, a glint of something metallic and then blood splattered across glasses, Kristoph walking away. They terrified me and I always had to check that Kristoph wasn’t there, that I was safe. For the most part, I was. I’d put off seeing Klavier after he’d single-handedly brought our worlds crashing down for a few days. I hadn’t trusted myself not to see his older brother instead of him. When I was ready to visit me and we’d had a good laugh, acting like nothing had changed except when he left and hugged me goodbye, the reality of him leaving the country hit me and I just wanted to hold him there.
So we headed off to Klavier’s place for drinks and entertainment, and by “us” I mean Elise, Klavier and myself, during which time Klavier consumed a bit too much alcohol, leaving Elise and I relatively sober. I was planning to leave alone, no matter what the danger was. Elise and Klavier both seemed to insist that I stay over, but I felt like I was intruding and I mentioned that.
“Not really. I’ll send Klav to the bedroom and we can crash here, just like any sleepover.” Elise said helpfully, “But if you’re insisting on going home, I’ll go with you.”
I thought for a little while, “I didn’t want to make things awkward.”
“I don’t think they are.” Elise answered “Not for me, anyway, and Klav’s probably too drunk to notice or care.”
“Ja, and tired.” Klavier interjected.
“You should get to sleep, babe.” I said to Klavier.
“Hm… But what about you?” Klavier asked me.
“What about me?” I asked him.
“Are you staying? Going?”
“Well, there’s flaws in both plans. If I go, it’s late and dangerous.” I reasoned, “But if I stay…” I stopped myself, careful not to say any more and make them both feel bad.
“I said I’d go with you, if you wanted to go.” Elise interrupted in my momement of hesitation.
“No, it’s fine.” I said, “There’s fewer flaws with staying. Just a small glitch….” I laughed.
“Which is?” Elise asked.
“I have no sleepwear.” I admitted.
“Borrow some of mine.” Elise said, at which point Klavier also offered me what he wore to bed, which he claimed was nothing. Yeah, sure, let me think… NO.
Elise then pulled Klavier out of the chair he was sitting in and pushed him towards his bedroom, telling him to get to bed which he protested to like a little kid.
Sometimes, he does remind me of a little kid, the way he annoys me. He’s like a child more, when he’s ill or tired, which he was now.
“Ugh, remind me never to let you drink again.” Elise told him.
I glanced at her, “Do you want me to make sure he’s okay?” After being his friend and looking after him drunk all these years, I thought I’d offer.
“If you don’t mind possibly being dragged into the bed with him.” Elise replied.
“I’m sure I can handle it. But that doesn’t mean that… y’know…”
“Alright.”
I placed a hand on Klavier’s arm, “Come on Gavin, bed time.” I muttered.
“Fiiine…” He huffed as I dragged him into his room, nudging the door open with my foot.
Once we were inside his room, he immediatley collapsed face-down on his bed.
“Klavier…” I sighed, making sure my voice was slightly soothing.
I heard a muffled “Ja?” in response.
“Come on, you’ve got to get in the bed.”
“Hmmm… okay.” He sat up and started to undress, I turned around quickly muttering a quick phrase of annoyance under my breath. That’s when he must have stood up, since the next thing I knew he was hugging me from behind.
“Klav…” I whispered, hoping he’d let go.
“Gute nacht.” He whispered back.
“Good night Klavier.”
He still didn’t let go so I started unwrapping his arms from me. He made a small whining sound, causing me to turn around.
“What’s the matter?” I asked, “Not feeling so hot?”
“Nein… just lonely…” He whispered, he was so close to me that I fixed my gaze anywhere but his eyes, namely a point near his shoulder. “…Waking up to an empty bed…”
I honestly felt my heart shatter a little then, but I didn’t even attempt to hold him like I would have if things had been different.
“Hey, it’ll be okay.” I whispered, comfortingly, “It’ll all be okay.”
He got hold of my arm and started pulling me towards the bed, “Really?” He let go once he was underneath his covers, but continued to look at me so I sat down beside him and let him take my arm again.
“Yes.” I reassured him, “Klav, go to sleep. I’ve got to go.” I whispered.
“You don’t really want to go, do you?”
“I have to.”
“You have to… but you don’t want to.”
“You’re drunk.” I stated.
“So? That didn’t stop us before…” His voice changed slightly, reminding me of everything.
“This isn’t before. We’ve grown up, changed.” I didn’t like to admit it but it was true.
“Have we?”
I tasted something bitter in my mouth, it was time to say the truth. “Yes.” I looked at him sadly, “Now, get some sleep.”
Klavier sighed and let go of me.
“I’ll still be here in the morning.” I whispered, stroking his hair near the side of his head. “Goodnight.”
Klavier sat up and leaned in close to me, so close that it caused me to blush furiously. He stared into my eyes for a moment before whispering “Gute nacht.”
“Night.” I said,getting up, “You don’t need a bowl or anything?”
“Nein… I’ll be fine.”
I crossed the room and turned off his light. Walking out, I shut the door as soundlessly as possible and turned to Elise.
A while later, after Elise and I had talked a lot and I’d gotten changed and snuggled up on the sofa. I was just dreaming about something nice, but not exactly normal possibly involving unicorns and penguins, when I heard a whisper. I woke up slightly, and thinking it was Apollo letting us know he was staying over, told him to go away.
I was in the corridor of a deserted apartment building, I heard footsteps behind me and sped up. I reached the door and tugged on it, locked. I was too high up to jump out of a window and my only option was to turn around, as I turned, something shiny caught my eye from one of the windows. I turned around again, feeling warmth on my throat as I fell to the floor, blood splattered across glasses frames from which blue eyes peeked out behind.
I awoke with a start and screamed, Kristoph was standing over me. My scream must have startled him because he jumped and fell backwards. That didn’t seem right.
“Klavier?”
I heard a moan from him in response to his fall.
“You okay?”
“Ja, I guess.” He answered, “But I am not Herr Forehead.”
“Oh…” I blushed, embarrassed at myself, “I was… talking, wasn’t I?”
“Ja, quite loudly.”
“Sorry.”
“Ugh. Klav, would you mind not tripping over me next time?” Elise commented irritably from where she was laying. “And you can get off my lap too.”
“Nein,” Klavier responded, “I’m quite comfy here.”
“Klav… c’mon get off her.” I mumbled tiredly.
“He can stay as long as he isn’t annoying.”
I rolled my eyes a little, Klavier Gavin not being annoying? It’s unheard of.
“He’s gonna fall asleep on you.” I ponted out.
“Ja, I will.”
“Maybe I should go sleep in the bed then?” I laughed at my own suggestion.
“What are you suggesting?” Even in the darkness, I thought I could feel Elise’s eyes pierce into me like knives.
“Nothing. Just that if he’s gonna stay in here, he may as well have the sofa.” I muttered.
“If you do that he’ll just follow you like a lost puppy. He wants attention.” Elise said.
“Well, he can’t sleep on you.”
“I know, but he doesn’t seem to know that or care.”
Elise shoved Klavier aside and I closed my eyes, pretending I could get back to sleep.
I watched Klavier lean onto Elise as I turned to lay on my back, staring at the ceiling. Muttering my annoyance at not being able to sleep anymore, I sat up.
“I can’t sleep like this.” Elise murmured, “Klav, move.”
“I can’t,” He answered, “My head hurts.”
“Klavier…” I muttered, half wanting him to come over to me and also trying to help Elise out.
“Ja?”
I rose from the sofa and walked into the kitchen, pulling out a glass and filling it with water. I took a sip and carried on drinking, hearing Elise and Klavier still talking in the living room.
“Why are you here anyway, Klav?”
I stared out of the kitchen window, catching a shadow and a glimpse of something metallic, I jumped at how fast it came and the glass slipped out of my hand. I checked again, nothing. The glass was lying broken on the floor, so I knelt down and started clearing it away.
“What was that?” I heard Elise ask.
My concentration was lost for a moment as I tried to gather my nerves, the piece of glass I was trying to pick up slipped and cut my finger.
“Ouch.” I whispered to myself, more annoyed than anything. I hadn’t noticed that Klavier had gotten up and wandered into the kitchen, now he was staring at the shattered glass on the floor.
“What happened?” he asked.
“N-nothing.” I replied, my voice still shaky. I sucked on my finger out of habit and started to clear up the glass again.
“You don’t drop glasses for nothing, Fräulein.” Klavier stated as he bent to help me.
“Careful…” I warned softly.
Klavier raised his head and flicked his eyes towards the window.
“Wh-what’s the matter?” I asked.
“Wasn’t sure if something was out there.”
I involuntarily recoiled at his words, “I… I’ll get this cleaned up.” I muttered.
“Nein, it’s fine. Go back to sleep.”
“I cant…” I told him.
“What did you see?” he asked, his blue eyes flickering towards the window once more.”
“I… thought I saw a knife…” I admitted shyly, “But… it’s probably just me…You must think I’m crazy…” I looked at the small trickle of blood dripping down my finger.
“You should run that under the tap…” Klavier said softly, about my finger.
“Yeah…” I agreed, “Uh… you haven’t got a bandage… have you?”
“Maybe…” Within seconds he was rifling through the cupboards, looking for a bandage. “Hang on.” He said as he ran to the bathroom, he came back seconds later with a bandage in his hand.
“Thanks.” I reached out to take the bandage.
“Do you need help?” he asked.
“I think I’ll be okay.”
“Alright.” He passed me the bandage and stood with his arms folded across his chest, watching me.
I attempted to apply the bandage using my left hand, but almost dropped it.
“Here.” Klavir said, taking my injured hand and the bandage. I let my eyes flick up to his face before automatically lowering them, I looked at how he was applying the bandage instead, his tanned fingers wrapping the fabric around mine as gently as he could.
“Thanks,” I said sounding breathless.
“No problem Fräulein.”
“I… I’d better try to sleep.”
“Ja, as had I.”
“Well… goodnight then, I would hug you but-” I held up my bandaged finger. “So, goodnight.” I added awkwardly, starting to walk out of the kitchen.
“Ja.. Gute nacht.”
I stopped and turned to face him again. “Sweet dreams.” I carried on walking.
I heard a light sigh as I climbed back under the covers and moments later, Klavier had walked back into his room.
“So what happened?” Elise asked, breaking the silence.
“Nothing.” I replied, hiding the furious blush that was creeping over my face.
“I heard glass shattering.”
“Yeah, I dropped a glass.”
” Oh… was anyone hurt? I half expected Klav to go running and walk all over it.”
“No.” I lied easily, hiding my bandaged finger. “Night.”
“Alright, night.”
I opened my eyes the next morning to see Klavier surveying the room, a sandwich in one hand and a loaf of bread in the other. No trace of whatever he was thinking across his face, except maybe ‘This is a good sandwich.’. He left, I waited for Elise to wake up and left too.
As I walked down the streets towards my home, I noticed tears start flowing. I hadn’t said anything to him, I hadn’t said goodbye, I hadn’t held him and told him I’d miss him. That was it. The last time I’d see Klavier Gavin…
