Chapter Text
“Klaus, I’m not going to give you a ride. Learn how to drive already”
“Yeah!! you can teach me, Di”
“No. That’s not what I ….”
Diego didn’t get to finish his last sentence when a very excited Klaus was already going out to the car.
“Ok, I’ll teach you but you have to promise you’ll never ask me for a ride again”
“Yeah, yeah” said Klaus with a dissmisive gesture from his hand.
“Ok, start the engine and…slowly hit the acceletator”
The slowly part didn’t take to Klaus, he started the car and acceletared at whole speed. He didn’t even secured the seat belt.
“Klaus, hit the break, you’re gonna kill us both”
“It’s fine. We’re ok”
To be fair, Diego had to admit, he was driving quite fine. They weren’t in real danger.
His train of thought got interrupted when he felt the car started swerving. Klaus wasn’t controlling it, why wasn’t he controlling it? He turned to look at Klaus and realized he was unconscious. “What the hell happened?” he thought.
“Klaus?”
Unfortunately, and despite his best efforts to grab the steering wheel before they hit anything on the road, the car started spiralling out of control. He must have fainted because when he woke up he was facing down with the seat belt pressing on his chest. He couldn’t breathe, he hoped it was just the pressure to be hanging down attached to the seat belt not a bruised or worse, a broken rib.
“Damn it, Klaus!” he thought.
“Klaus! Answer …. answer me! Klaus, you….ok?”
His panick started to arise when he got no response from his little brother.
“Klaus!”
He did his best to turn around and take a good look at his brother. They were so many questions in his mind he couldn’t think straight.
“why was Klaus unconscious before they crashed?, was he unconscious from the crash or from something else?”
He knew he couldn’t panic, he was the only choice they had to get out of there. When he looked towards the passenger seat where Klaus was, he was taken aback by the picture before his eyes. Klaus hadn’t worn a seat belt so he wasn’t hanging from anything; instead, he was facing down against the windshield and an exaggerated amount of blood was coming out everywhere, from his forehead, his nose, his ears. His hands were lying limply in a weird angle, it seemed one of his arms was broken, who knows in how many pieces and his leg, oh my god, his leg was impaled by a huge piece of broken glass. And of course, the most worrying of all, he was still unconscious, he had to check if he was still breathing, though. Then he wouldn’t be about to burst into tears.
“Ok bro, I’m going to unhook this seat belt so I can chek on you” he thought talking to Klaus would calm him down even though he wasn’t responding to anything. It always calmed him down to comfort his little brother.
Unhooking the seat belt was more painful than he had thought before. It was quick, just a little push and he was face down on the windshield. For a minute he saw black spots clouding his vision, he couldn’t faint, Klaus needed him.
“Ok buddy, here I go” he said, hoping but preparing for the worst, the worst being not feeling a pulse or hearing him breathe.
He moved some of Klaus curls that were blocking his view and touched timidly the side of his neck and let out a breath, he has a pulse. As soon as he felt his pulse he realized he was also breathing.
“Ok, we can work with that. I have to figure out how to get us out of here”
When he started to move to assess the whole situation he heard some mumbling.
“Di?”
