The Element (TUA story)

Scarlett...

"Letty, where's the fucking rope?" He asked finally sparing me a look. So far he was just rummaging through our drawers and completely trashing the room which was already a big enough mess. I shrugged. "Scarlett," He warned making me sigh.

"Just tell me why you need it," I pleaded already walking towards my bed. I have the rope hidden under it.

"I am not going to hang myself if that's what you thought, I need to get sober," Klaus said snatching the rope from my hand and leaving the room.

"This is not how you get sober!" I yelled running after him. He stopped by Diego's room where Diego was trying to tie up his shoe.

"Hey. You, uh... you mind?" Diego asked seeing Klaus and me in the doorway. He mentioned towards his shoes that he couldn't tie up with one hand.

"Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. I'll... I'll tie that up. If you tie me up after." Klaus said in almost like whisper tone throwing the rope at Diego who looked surprised as fuck.

"Come again?"

"You know, last time I was sober was that roaring good time when those freaks had me tied up in the motel room." Diego's eyes shifted towards me.

"Is he serious?" I just shrugged not knowing what to think in this situation really. "Wow. You are one twisted bonehead."

"Why? You're the one who's always like, 'Klaus, you need to get sober, bro.'" The fact that Klaus tried to imitate Diego's voice would have me laughing any other time but this time it was just weak.

"There's better ways to get clean, bro," Diego said raising an eyebrow at my twin that has now made a few steps closer to him.

"Not for me, no. I need someone to take away my options." Diego shot a look my way waiting for my approval and I just nodded telling him that he should help him. Or else we won't hear the end of it. 

"Fine,"

"Okay. Thank you," Klaus said now smiling once our brother agreed to tie him up. The twisted mind of some people am I right?

"Okay, can you help me?" Diego said pointing towards his shoes.

"Yeah. Yeah." Klaus bends down to tie them but his hands were shaking so he couldn't do it properly. "Actually, no. Letty?" Both of them now looked at me. I let out a sigh and walked over to them bending down to tie up my brother's shoelaces.

"Remember when I taught you how to tie up your shoes?" Diego asked with a chuckle while I was still tying up one shoe.

"Yeah," I mumbled tightening it up and standing up. "And you did a good job," I said pointing down showing him my work.

"That I did," We smiled at each other for a while until he straightened up. "Alright, now I'm gonna teach you how to tie up your brother," Diego said grabbing the rope and Klaus's arm. I followed the pair up on the attic. Gosh, I hate this place. I sat down on the old case and watched as Klaus sat down on a chair and Diego started tying him up.

"You're are staring at me with the same pitiful eyes as Ben," Klaus chuckled looking at me.

"I just...I am not too sure about this. It is too drastic." I answered watching Diego continued tying him up loosely. Klaus rolled his eyes and decided to ignore me and my concern for him.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." He said as if enjoying the fact he is being tied up. Hope this ain't some new kink of his.

"I hate this room." Diego sighed.

"Oh, it got me high enough." Klaus chuckled looking around the room. "I picked it clean of anything of value after Daddy kicked the bucket." I rolled my eyes at how desperate he was to get some money. "That's it, tighter and higher. Ooh. Ouf! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." I rolled my eyes at the tone of my brother's voice. Someone was definitely enjoying it.
