To most people, for most people, it would be awkward.
Nestled between Klaus' legs, knees protectively tucked around him and arms hard with tensed muscles and fingers digging in, real and solid and needy, Ben just feels safe and real. Klaus is hurting, Ben knows when Klaus is hurting better than Klaus himself at times, and Klaus is maybe starting to feel the grief of his time jaunt, or relief at them finally being back together, able to hug and hold or maybe just everything at once and then some.
"I'm here," he whispers. "I'm right here." He car hear Klaus' heartbeat, loud and too fast and anxious. "I'm here, in the bath, and it's warm, and you're warm, and sort of bony, but you've always been bony and I can feel you combing my hair with your fingers." He can feel all these things.
