That's an inner voice that all the member's of this family might hear and some point, always at the most inconvenient moments, ruining any of chance at happiness. Five's inner angry voice sound like Reginald and to this day he can't get over the fact the man had been right about their argument about time travel. Nothing but his own hubris got him stuck in the future.

But thinking about that won't help him and it sure won't make Klaus feel better. The other boy doesn't sound very convincing with that 'I guess'. but the rest seems to get to him. Five allows himself to smile, in the privacy of his bed no one else but Klaus can see it after all.

"Would I lie? I don't go around complimenting people without a good reason, and that was amazing."

He squints at him for a moment, but seems to decide that must be the truth and his features smooth out again as he shrugs. "Good point. Still seems weird and like false information though." Because really how on earth could talking to dead people help to the point of avoiding imminent harm-and-or-death?! "Better believe I'm gonna ask one of them, too." He isn't sure why Five doesn't just tell him, but maybe he wants to let it be the others' choice or something.

"It's not. You need to forget all the crap dad told us." The man is the cause of most, if not all, their emotional problems and self-confidence issues. Klaus being younger now gives him a chance to move on sooner.

"Good." He doesn't overshare for several reasons, one of them being that is late ball's o'clock and if Five starts talking about the End of the World that would ruin the rest of the night for both of them. And he had hoped to catch some rest, tired as he is. It's why he rubs at his right eye in an attempt to keep himself awake.

"Yeah," he scoffs, half-laughing, "I'll get right on that." He snorts and shakes his head. Fat chance on that one, bro. Some things are already written down into his bones, even this early on. He catches a glimpse of Five rubbing at his eye and Klaus nods a little lackadaisically. "Mmnn...me too." he admits quietly, shifting to get a little more comfortable. "...not gonna kick me out, are you?" he asks softly, voice small, an almost nervous air about him suddenly, like he thought maybe he really would be asked to leave.

Five lightly slaps Klaus' arm with his free hand, not even bothering to look where he hits, could be the shoulder, could be the top of his head, who knows. Five's not really aiming to hurt, it's a simple pat.

"Smartass. I never said it would be easy." He blinks up at his moment a moment later, noticing the nod. "Ah, sorry...been a while without sleeping."

Five pulls the covers closer over both of them, curling a little into himself but looking perfectly comfortable after Klaus settles too. No, if he wanted to kick out his brother, he would have done so 30 minutes ago. Funny enough, Five's used to sleep next to someone...it's only that the 'someone' was a rather hard mannequin lady. So who knows, maybe Klaus will wake up in the middle of the night with his octopus of a brother curled around him.

"Don't snore."
