Work Text:
Klaus and Elijah laid facing each other for the first time in months. Everything had been so busy and Elijah had been away handling business. Although he would never say it out loud, Klaus had missed Elijah every day.
“Show me,” Elijah said as he ran the pad of his thumb just under Klaus’s eye.
Klaus closed his eyes allowing them to change colors and for his teeth to sharpen. Opening them again Klaus lay silent looking at his brother.
“I’ve always loved your eyes, Niklaus. They’ve always been so unique to you, even with another hybrid in the mix now.” Elijah knew better than to mention her by name while they were like this - not while Klaus was allowing Elijah to see him in his entirety. “They are the perfect blend of yellows and golds that have only ever made me think of you.”
Leaning in closer Elijah pressed a soft kiss to both of Klaus’s eyelids, watching as a small smile spread across Klaus’s lips.
