[Now, Klaus isn't the most observant of brothers around, but this whole Ben-and-Cole thing is preeetty hard to miss. Especially when Klaus has been thinking about his own love life a lot lately, it's tough to miss how much time his brother has been spending out and about with Cole, how often he talks about him (and how lovingly he does it) and honestly? It's making Klaus pretty pleased.
Thing is, Ben hasn't exactly mentioned it out loud or anything. He's happier, sure, but he hasn't really talked about it, so Klaus hasn't brought it up since, coincidentally, he's also not the best communicator around. But it's been sitting in his head as a happy little fact for a while now, that Ben has someone. Someone to care about who cares about him, and it's good, it's exactly what Klaus wants for his brother, wants him to be happy and not think of himself as gross and generally just be comfortable in his own life.
So when Ben picks up that little potted plant Klaus had helped him pick out and says cheerfully (or, well, cheerfully for Ben) that he's going out in a sec, Klaus glances up from the book he's reading and waves.]
Great great, awesome, you off to hang out with the boyfriend?
[He doesn't even notice it slips out, that's how comfortable he is with the concept. Whoops?]
