"Yes, only because of that," Klaus says dryly, but he can't help the grin that spreads across his face as Ben steps forward to hug him. Klaus wraps his arms around Ben in return, clapping him once on the back before simply hanging on tight and marveling" over the fact that this is something they can do now. S

"I'll do my best, but I'll know you'll be fine," Klaus assures him, hooking his chin over Ben's shoulder. "It'll be a hell of an adjustment period, but we're all here for you, man."

When Klaus finally pulls away, he goes over to his bed and climbs in, tossing the covers back in invitation. Sometimes they wind up in the same bed like they're little kids and not men in their early thirties, but that's okay. Ben used to live in his head, so sharing a bed is nothing. And if sometimes it makes the both of them feel a little more settled, that's okay too.
