@extra-ordinaryno7 : slap meme : accepting
Klaus stumbled back when he felt the awful sting on his cheek, one that he’d felt before at the hands of their father. Klaus wasn’t sure, but he thought his other siblings probably got slapped as well on occasion. Out of the bunch, though, Klaus was the most disorderly. He brought his hand up to his cheek. The skin felt hot now, and he was sure it was a little red.
He didn’t know what to do. Vanya was scared, he knew that much, but he didn’t know much else. He couldn’t blame her for being scared. He was too. There was so much going on that none of them had answers to.
“Vanya,” he said, taking a few steps back. He didn’t know how to deal with this, especially not on his own. “Vanya, listen to me. It’s Klaus. Just breathe. You’re okay. Nobody’s going to hurt you.” He kept his arms out in front of him in case she tried to hit him again.
