No. That's not what I mean. You said this takes work. I'm here. This time... I won't leave until it's fixed. Or until I know it cannot be without me taking a break. I will tie our wrists together again if I must, so you know I mean it, and you can't be lost or thrown away like sexy trash. If you really want, you can ask if Samurai Pratt has handcuffs to borrow. Or if Max the Omnic has his pair left.
I have a lot of thoughts. I think... you felt helpless. You felt powerless. That is why you thought me and Yato had a plan. We did not. We were too disorganized. That is why we all failed. It isn't even that I thought all of you I trusted, would be with me. It is just that it has been... A very long time, Klaus, that I have been on a field where I do trust everyone to do different things, but no one was working to the same outcome. Yato and I -- We have worked a lot out. You need to know, I am not protecting him. He is protecting me, and then I am protecting you. He can't cut anything I don't want to, but I can cut things like fate and rules when we're together. That is why it seemed like we were planning. We didn't even agree, that is why he ordered me to revert, but we are of like minds. We are a lot alike, even among Japanese. We are both very defiant, and we do not resign to fate, so even if he or I were the only ones without each other... we would have done the same.
Do you want a more thorough shower? I interrupted us, but I will get truly naked now if you wish. You are respecting my space, and I cannot act... sexually... until we are fixed, but I can go as slowly with this conversation as you need, but I have over two weeks of taking care of you to make up for.
And this is another thing.
There will be no more one-sided-ness. It isn't just you trying to buffer me against the world. You will die if you try. And then I will break again. It is never just me taking care of you, and you trying to hold me back. These things are impossible. It is, I spoil you, this makes me happy that I am doing something I can see the immediate effects of. You take care of me, because even I am a mess and not able to do things for myself I need. We both complete each other, and fill in each other's weak spots, agreed? We both have weaknesses, and you know all of mine. That doesn't make me weak. You are still the strongest person I've ever known. And I will make it my job to make sure you feel that way too, not just hear it, but know it. And that will shut that voice up.
[Rests their foreheads together! A happier hum. A lot of the anguish is fading at least. First steps.] And more importantly, we are a team. Partners. Spouses-in-crime. [GET IT??? Ayyyyyyyyy.] There will be no martyrdom. You are not to be protected from a safe distance where you must just watch helplessly as people you love die. That is unfair. And you stronger than that. You are able to take what happened before and use it now to save me. And I need you to from now on.
I will teach you more weapons. I can never ever ever promise you I will not be in danger. You saw those who died. The magics are unavoidable. But the solution isn't for me to stay out of danger. You felt powerless, like you couldn't act, that is why you felt weak. It isn't enough to say, "Klaus is strong," if you don't know what to do with it, of course you cannot act in those moments or make a decision. So I will empower you to make your own choices. Promise me, that you meant what you said about wanting to become a weapon who chooses all on your own, not me, not your father, not the Captain either, just you, what you do with it, yes? I will never ever, on this broken heart, and all our time together, I vow, I will never ever demand you agree with me on anything. I need you to think for yourself, my love. So if you do, if you take all this, and use your courage to act as you wish, I will always enable that, understood?
[SIGHS AND HUGS KLAUS TIGHTLY! And covers the top of his wet head with kisses!] And lastly we must talk about Dave. It can wait, but not forever. You can choose where to start, you can choose when to stop, you can choose everything about it, if you need breaks or not. But only when it is all dug up enough will we move into the future, understood? So the longer you push it off, the longer this will go. And I will not give up. Not ever. I am here for eternity. [Ties imaginary ropes around their wrists!] You and me. Spouses in crime.

Are these terms acceptable? Fair contract?
