Yeah, it didn't make sense to me, either. They were acting like a pair of kids caught making out in a broom closet when a few of us found them making coffee in the kitchen. And honestly? Suddenly, apparently, dating some guy none of us had even heard a single breath about, a week and a half after he had a breakdown all over my bed about... Dave, I think is what he said the guy's name was? Was double the weird and non-sensical. [He doesn't mean to just spring that on him blindly. But so many things happened, and made so little sense, it was hard to try and reconcile it all. And this version of his brother sounds so different than the one in Nonah. In ways that made more sense, lined up far more with what he knew about his brother.] Exactly.

[It takes a while to respond to that, because seeing Diego talk about Dave is a bit of a head trip. It's the first thing that really makes it hit home that Diego's been hanging out with some other Klaus who seems to have a lot of the same experiences.

And god he misses Dave.]

that's a lot

[It takes another few moments before he can text again.]

so he told u about dave huh
what did he say?

[deadlycurves]

Yeah, he did. Said he loved him,
and watched him die, and that he was still grieving the loss of him.

That's about as much detail as I got.

And then a week and a half later, he's trying his hardest not to outright call this Hux guy his boyfriend.

[Never made sense to him, and made it seem like that moment in his room talking about a dead soldier was something to be chalked up to Typical Klaus Overdramatics more than anything to be taken absolutely seriously, as twisted-wrong as it felt to think that over something that deeply personal and upsetting.]

We can do this face to face, instead of this...

Or we don't have to talk about it at all, if you don't want to, Klaus.

[God knows he isn't ready to unpack everything about Patch, so he wouldn't blame his brother at all if he just wants to table this discussion for another time, or never.]

[substances]

oh.
ya thats about rite.
i loved him so much diego
love him
just b/c hes gone doesnt mean i dont love him nemore
im always gonna love him

so idk who u were talking 2 but it wasnt me
the whole reason i started 2 get sober is so i could talk 2 him again
but hes not here

[And he can't type anymore, because there are tears in his eyes and he can't see the keys. So it's a relief when Diego asks if they can do it face to face instead, and that they don't have to talk about it at all.]

face 2 face wud be good i cant type about this

[deadlycurves]

Okay. Hang on. Where are you? ----- Some things are really just not great for these things, convenient as they can be at times. So, once he has Klaus' location in hand, he pockets the device and heads his way there. He finds his brother easily and isn't really surprised to find him with tears in his eyes. Diego regrets bringing any of this up. He should have kept his mouth shut. Grief was hard enough to deal with, without someone else sticking their fingers in all the sharpest, hardest parts for you. "Hey," he drops down next to his brother, debating for a moment whether he should reach out. Klaus has always been exceptionally okay with those sorts of things, but this subject is so raw and vulnerable, he isn't sure he should go that far just yet. He also isn't sure if Klaus wants to talk about any of this, anyway. He'll let him choose where it goes, discussion or distraction.
