I woke up tangled in Klaus' arms and I sighed. No nightmare after I went back to sleep which is nice. I opened my eyes and looking around the room. The random little drawings, notes, quote, and other random things were laid about in his room. Klaus' eyes were moving fast under his eye lids and he started shaking again while his lips were mumbling something in his sleep.

"Klaus!" I yelled making him sit straight up, gasping for breath.

"It's okay. It wasn't real. I'm here" I told him. He looked at me and sighed before wrapping his arms back around me and laying down. We sat there still waking up from our sleep.

"Sing to me. Please?" He asked still kinda freaking out. I sighed and ran my hand through his slightly curly hair. 

"Burn up with the water
The floods are on the plains
The planets in a rose
Who knows what they contain?
And my brain is like an orchestra
Playing on, insane
Will you love me like you loved me in the January rain?" I sang softly as he sighed and rested his head on my chest. I chuckled lightly still running my fingers through his soft hair.

"Mom and Dad and violins
Somber country silence
The needle stopped the kicking
The clothespins on the floor
And my heart is playing hide and seek
Wait and count to four
Will you love me like you loved me and I'll never ask for more

What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind" I sang looking down at him while he tried breathing slowly. I used to sing this song for him when we were teenagers.


"Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up the mountain
With our aching planning
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violent
Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweetest silence
The clay you find is fortified
We felt unfocused fade the line
The sugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
The marching band
When April ran
May June bugs fly in
Push your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
Here you go around Mary in your famous story book" I sang while Klaus relaxed in my arms. 

"We overcome the sirens
We look both left and right
And I can feel the numbness accompany my plight
And I know that someday soon I'll see you
But now you're out of sight
And you'll kiss me like you used to in the January night

What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind

Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up some mountain
With our aching planning
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violent
Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweetest silence
The clay you find is fortified
We felt some focus fade the line
The sugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
The marching band
When April ran
May June bugs fly in
Push your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
Here you go around Mary in your famous story book" I finished and Klaus breathed out. 

"Thank you. You have such a calming voice." He whispered. I wrapped my arms around him and we switched so that I was rested on his bare chest instead. He chuckled and started playing with my hair. 

"Good morning, Lovely" He mumbled looking down at me.

"Morning, Klaus" I replied smiling. We sat there in silence for a bit.
