Vanya lays a blanket over his shoulder and Klaus smiles instead of telling her that he doesn't need it, because it's a thoughtful gesture. They're all trying to be more thoughtful with each other, after so much time spent just looking out for themselves. For maybe the first time in his entire life, Klaus really feels like they're really a team.
"You're doing it," he says in response to her question, looking up with a smile and a helpless shrug as he tucks his hair behind his ears. "You're here."
She cares enough to look deeper than the mess he's made of himself, and to try and figure out what's really going on. She cares about him. That's more than enough.
"I'll be okay," he assures her after a moment, smiling a little and resting his hand on top of the helmet, patting it a few times. "It's just a bad day. I'm not going to spiral."
Maybe some other time, he would have, but not now. He has too many good things going for him right now to throw it all away.
