"Dancing behind masks
Just sort of pantomime"

A tight grip on your wrist woke you from your fantasy. Opening your eyes, you gasped to find Klaus standing in front of you.

"But images reveal
Whatever lonely hearts can hide"

"Y/N! I've been looking all over for you" Klaus said, his voice filled with concern, clutching you by the shoulders. You merely smiled, happy to find him really there in front of you. "Dance with me Klaus..." you said, placing your hands on his chest. He looked at you with surprise.

"Lady Lady Lady Lady
Don't walk this lonely avenue"

Swaying together side to side, you quickly held him in an embrace, wishing this was not an illusion. To your relief, he held you tightly in return, as you both kept swaying to the music.

"Lady, Lady, Lady, Lady
Let me touch that part of you
You want me to"

It all felt so magical, feeling his chest rise and fall made you even more alive. Unfortunately, the others didn't find this magical enough, for suddenly the song stopped, changing into another EDM track, leading to cheers from the crowd. Reality kicked in again.

"Sorry Y/N I tried!" The DJ called out from the booth. Looking over, you threw him a look of disappointment.

The loud music disrupted you, you were unable to think anymore. Fortunately you were not alone there.

"Let's talk...outside!" Klaus yelled into your ear, tugging you by the hand. Nodding, you joined him, leaving the premises.

***************
It turned out, the pavement could be more relaxing in comparison. Sitting side by side, you both stared at the road, watching the people and the occasional vehicles that passed.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"Well if you're talking about this..." you replied, pointing at the scars and cuts on your face, "it's getting better..."

"You put up a good fight with Big Joe didn't you?"

Your eyes widened, "how did y-"

"The three of us went looking for him.." Klaus said, chuckling "He did not look good with a broken nose...I was proud of you"

Suddenly reminded of the reason why your knuckles kept hurting, you grinned, "Why thank you sir " taking a bow whilst sitting. Their chuckling died down a few seconds later.

"Please don't tell me he's dead" you looked at him worriedly. He shook his head.

"No no...Diego took care of it...As in..." he added, before you could protest "the cops got to him...Geez..calm down Y/N...now look who's the drama queen"

Sighing with relief, you looked back at the road. Sharing a comfortable silence together was somewhat a usual activity for the both of you. But the moment a random skateboarder sped past, you felt a surge of courage inside you.

"I never put a label on how I felt for you Klaus" you began, turning to him whilst taking a deep breath, "...ever. But I knew, whatever I felt for you, it was ...strong"

With his hands on his knees, Klaus looked at you with surprise.

"To be honest I ...I never wanted to. I didn't want to limit my feelings for you to one certain thing. All I knew was that..."you drew in a breath, "...your happiness mattered the most, your sadness broke me the most...Your.." you watched his eyes twinkle with emotion. You scoffed at your own self,

"Ha! I can't believe I'm literally pouring my heart out to you right now. Right here in fact.." Pointing at the pavement, You burst out laughing , "It's like the flood gates of emotion just opened.."

Your laughter was interrupted when Klaus slowly extended his hand, his thumb grazing over your lips.

"Y/N.." he began, "...when I kissed you, I felt like I just...I just got..." struggling to come up with the right words, he went "you know what you get when you..."

"Smoked something...injected something ? ..got high?" You answered with raised eyebrows. He snapped his fingers in approval. Chuckling, you nodded frantically "yeah..I get it ..."

"Like...what the hell have I been doing all this time?" He scoffed, looking at you.
"You're not the only one buddy" you kept chuckling, for you just couldn't stop.
"And when I ..when we ...happened" his voice grew unbelievably soft, holding you by the shoulders, " It was just so amazing Y/N"

You would be lying if you were not moved by his tenderness.

"Klaus...I'm not trying to suck up to you. But I feel the same" you breathed, "..for a moment I felt like I could...I could be incredibly alive and-"

"For a moment I felt like I didn't need the drugs to put up with myself.." Klaus whispered.

You sighed heavily. Resting your hand on his cheek, you stroked it lovingly with your thumb , "Oh Klaus..." you whispered back.

"We totally sound like we're high right now...don't we?" You added. Klaus giggled.
"And we're really not"
"Isn't it crazy?"

Funny how your hand still didn't leave his cheek. It may have seemed odd to some, but you did not care, and neither did Klaus.

"I've known you for a long time Y/N.." he said, " only to not know what I really felt about you. I-"

"I love you Klaus"

You blurted out. It was now or never. Suddenly you felt a beating heart inside you once more.

The green in his beautiful eyes grew warmer. Tilting on your palm, he kissed it gently. You were simply overwhelmed with how precious this man was to you.

Pulling you in, his lips clashed on to yours, kissing you tenderly. You finally felt a sense of perfection in your life as his forehead rested on your own as he breathed:

"I love you more...."
