Summary
Klaus’ skin is cold as death, just like the rest of his siblings had been. Five lets his hand linger for a moment, steeling himself, preparing to grab on tight and haul the corpse to its grave.
What he’s not expecting is for Klaus to suddenly take in a deep, shuddering gasp, cough harshly, and flail around until he slips off the mound of rubble he’d been lying on with an abrasive clatter.
Five snatches his hand back with a shriek and stares wide-eyed as Klaus props himself up on his hands, blinks hard, and glances around at his surroundings until his eyes catch on Five.
“Oh, shit,” Klaus says, looking almost as shocked as Five feels. “Five?”
Five promptly bursts into tears.
OR
Thirteen year old Five time travels to the future and finds himself trapped in the apocalypse, surrounded by the dead bodies of his siblings. Klaus, however, happens to be immortal. They figure it out from there.

Summary
Five is so, so afraid that when he looks up Klaus will disappear, his solidity turning to smoke beneath Five’s hands until Five realises Klaus is still cold and dead, lying in a pile of bricks below him. He takes a few deep, shaky breaths and steels himself for the worst case scenario—then looks up.
Klaus doesn’t disappear. He just glances back down at him with wide green eyes—eyes no longer glassy with death.
“What the hell,” Five chokes out. Klaus nods seriously.
“What the hell indeed,” he replies.
OR
Thirteen year old Five time traveled to the future and found himself trapped in the apocalypse, surrounded by the dead bodies of his siblings. Klaus, however, happened to be immortal, and came back to life right as Five was trying to bury him (scaring the shit out of Five in the process). Now they're stuck at the end of the world... but the only way out is through, and they're either going to figure it out together or die trying.
