It comes out before Klaus thinks about saying it. He just knows that he doesn't want Ben to kick himself for not being Dave. Dave was Dave. Ben is Ben. They're different people, they mean different things to him, they matter in different ways. Ben is the one here now with him, back from the dead and resting against him. Touching his skin, kissing his collarbone, pressing his face into his neck.
Turning his head, he presses a soft kiss into Ben's hair in return, exhaling softly.
"You're Ben. My Ben. I missed you."
Swallowing hard, he holds his breath and then exhales shakily, "How're you feeling? Any better?"
