It's really all he can say, because what else do you say when your deceased brother explodes the entire spirit realm in your house and shows up alive and in the flesh? What else do you say when you just heard him crying and sobbing like he did when he was really dying, before collapsing to the cold ground and trying not to throw up?
"Oh my god, Ben..."
Before Klaus really registers what might be going on (because who could process this quickly? he isn't Five) he's moving forward, down on his knees beside his brother, a shaking hand reaching out, tentatively brushing against Ben's skin. It's cool to the touch, but in the way that a living breathing person is cold when they're naked in a cold room, not the way that a person who died that is now a ghost feels when your hand brushes through them.
Klaus is shaking. His whole body is shaking, his hand is shaking, he's staring wide-eyed at Ben and he only realizes he's crying when he registers a soft gasping that's not in time with the movement of Ben's chest and abruptly becomes aware of the tears on his cheeks.
"Ben...Ben what...what...what what...I don't...are you okay?"
