alcoholic!ben dump

So this one night, Ben stumbles onto someone's yard and thinks it his own. The cops get called, and bring him three doors down to his a c t u a l home. aka: the academy

Ben is covered is bruises and cuts. He doesn't say anything but he starts sobbing, like full blown, snot and tears mingling on his chin sobbing.

Diego and Allison are awake and they try to calm him down. It doesn't work, he cries harder. Eventually they say fuck it and pull Klaus out of his room (he was awake because like. fuck sleep.)

So they beg him to h e l p because they have no fucking clue what to do and they know that Klaus is the only damn person Ben will listen to.

So Klaus. Sits there. Holds Ben's hand and nods along to what Ben says even though he has no fucking clue what he is actually saying.

He hands him tissues and runs his fingers through his hair.

They don't talk. They sit. Ben cries and pokes at his wounds and keeps crying about how he got brought home by the cops. It's a thing-and-a-half.

Eventually, Ben stops crying and just, laughs. Because he got brought home by the cops and went to the same bar six times and barley remembers his name, and it's not funny but it is.

His laughter is hallow though. Empty. And it sounds maniacal.

Klaus feels like crying and tries to get Ben to got upstairs and sleep. But Ben keeps on insisting he wants a smoke. Changes the subject a million and one times.

Klaus has tried anger and kindness and exasperation. But it's not working, so he just, sits there, next to Ben.

Ben pushes him off whenever Klaus tries to comfort. Ben talks too loudly to even be considered sober.

And quietly, Klaus says that maybe Ben needs help. And Ben lets out a harsh laugh and says: "No shit I need help. I actually...I've been thinking about it."

Klaus knows Ben won't remember saying this. That he'll get up and start drinking again. But there's...a glimmer of hope. He has a glimmer of hope that maybe, maybe Ben'll be okay.

So Klaus listens to the birds chirp and sees the sun rise through his window, and he thinks about everything.

Klaus has hope; he won't let that go. Not yet.

Do you remember my reversed AU with zero content where Klaus died and Ben is very alive and they end up scamming people with tarot reading and spirit communication to live? Yeaaah me neither

i made a post recently about how luther's four-year soirée on the moon was actually long-term solitary confinement and thus torture and could explain his actions during season one—

(—and yes i know five had it way worse but he also at least had time to adjust and get used to being around people again while he worked for the commission, whilst luther ended his four-year long solitary upon finding out that his father died, and was then immediately thrown back into the thick of things with a whole murder conspiracy and the sudden threat of the apocalypse, and—)

—but that doesn't even go into the fact that he was the only member of the academy who was permanently and severely disfigured due to their work as the umbrella academy.

no wonder he was so determined to defend the umbrella academy—because if not, then what was it all for.

he was permanently disfigured (he has the body of a fucking ape) and he may or may not have lost his powers (he threw a guy through a third-story window at thirteen years old and was completely unfazed after intentionally falling through the fucking ceiling—i don't care how skilled hazel is, there's no way he could defeat luther at full strength—super-strength and durability is his whole thing)

and sure vanya was drugged for years and five was reverted back to a child, but neither of those things are permanent, and five's issue has nothing to do with hargreeves

but luther? he has the body of a fucking ape.

hargreeves turned him into a fucking ape and then shipped him off to the fucking moon for four years straight of torture via extreme solitary confinement.

and you wanna tell him that was all for nothing?

that it wasn't worth it because his father wasn't who he said he was and none of what they were doing was actually saving the world?

i'd be in denial, too—holding onto the idea that it meant something, that it happened for a reason—that it was worth it.

jesus.

sorry for hating on you, luther, and belittling what happened to you :(

Your local junkie on his way to sell his dad’s shit to get his daily fix !

Merry Christmas!
