Morning Sleepyhead~
It's a different arrangement he has with Hayley. They've slept together a grand total of once, and no more. But now that she's pregnant and her life, and that of their baby, depends upon him? The stakes are completely different. He becomes protective, to the point of obsession, makes sure he has at least once source looking out for her at all times, and sometimes, just sometimes, when it's quiet and it's just the two of them, they fall asleep together, in bed, on a sofa, anywhere comfortable.
This time is no different. His siblings are gone, he insists on lounging around and they end up watching some god-awful chick flick which turns out to be not so bad after all. Hayley's asleep before the credits roll, and Klaus watches her for a while, watches as her face, once clear, grows darker with the sun going down, shadows cast over the room as the moon rises. When the moon reaches its highest, Klaus succumbs to sleep and in the morning, he jolts up, arm slipping from around her stomach. His fingertips squeeze her shoulder and carefully, he unwraps himself from around her, pushing himself up onto his feet, and leaves a small note in his wake.
fetching breakfast. I'll save some for you.
