I've never been good at illustrating the care I feel for someone.
And, I admit I tacked on the part about hand-holding. I did mean a deeper intimacy. It is one thing to be physically intimate, it is another to give yourself over to someone who can feel what it is you feel. There is no place to hide, and no lie you can tell yourself.
It's easier for me to care for someone than to fall in love with them. And in time, I've learned that being able to show someone that I care for them is easier here.
What if you viewed it as a way of bypassing the words? The expression? If I held your hand, I'd be able to show you how I feel about you. That I'm curious and, at times, a touch annoyed, but that I care, too. I don't think you'd be able to feel the parts where I see myself in you, but I wouldn't mind saying that. Like I'm doing now.
It's easier for me to put it to words, but consider this: now you don't have to. It's all in a touch.
( Klaus puts it into words when it's too late, or when it's wrong. Or, he never does. When has he said the words. He said it to Hope. He loves and cares for hope. He loved Cami. But, a part of him believed he could save her from the darkness she was drawn to. Tim is something else entirely. He's something intriguing and he is so overtly interested but never says a word to express that. It's as if Klaus is the pursued, but emotionally. And even then, barely.
As it is, Clarke as a point and being one of Klaus' closest friends, he realizes just how much he's told her and is telling her. Especially something such as this. )

You have a way with words, Clarke.
Thank you.
