The thing about Five is, sometimes you look at him and it's like getting
sucker-punched back into being scared and fifteen again. No one else will
admit it, but Klaus knows that hanging around Five brings out this bizarre
mix of parental protectiveness and teenaged assholery in all of them.
Other times, though, you look at him and you can see every single one of
his long and traumatizing years alone.
This, right now, is something in-between.
"Fine," Klaus says, and then because he can't shut up to save his life
(literally), "Fine, finer, finest, absolutely fine-o-rama. Don't I
look it?"
