Nightmare had made Cross a worker in his Casino to put him to use. Cross reluctantly agreed. Not like he can escape...

As time went on Cross slowly got to warm up to the casino crew. At first they would scare him and mess with him but now Cross found out that they actually care about him and treat him like family.

He figured this out when a rude customer was yelling at him about a cigarette in his drink. The thing is that Cross doesn't smoke everyone in the casino knew that, but it seems this guy didn't. He kept yelling at him and Cross would nervously deny everything he accuses and he was about to hit him when Killer- the dealer- stopped him and threatened him. Cross and Killer started to get along very well together.

He learned about some of the workers in the Casino are called Dust, Horror, and Error. They do dirty work for Nightmare but would sometimes slack off when their bored. Dust always had a cold aura and always seemed so serious but Cross made him snicker one time when he tripped and fell on his face but ended up standing up again somehow. Horror works in the kitchen he's reckless but pretty funny at times with his dark humor. Error is like a moody teenager tho he can act like a worried mom when it comes to the monochrome, Cross didn't know why but didn't mind at all.

Currently Cross was wiping a shot glass behind the bar counter, Since their wasn't many people at the moment. Cross found himself getting lost in thought as he thought about his boss. Nightmare, the most feared person in the Casino. He would act so strict to others and even to Cross but when their alone he would have a calm and relaxed expression around Cross. He even made his voice calm and soothing atleast that's how Cross would describe it. He was being so gentle with him-

Cross blushed at the thought and almost dropped the shot glass. He then jolted as he heard a soft chuckle behind him. Cross turned around to be faced with Killers smug grin plastered on his face. "Sup Cross, daydreaming again~" he teased as he hopped over the bar to get to Cross. Cross blushed in embarrassment before he huffed as he rolled his eyes.

"Oh shut up Killer"

"Who you dreaming about~?"

"n-no one!"

"I bet it's me~"

"Ha! You wish" Cross said as he puts the glass down to polish another one.

"How hurtful~ by the way- Nightmares looking for yo-"

SHATTER

"Oh shit!" Killer jumped back a bit, slightly startled. Cross blinked before he looked down as pieces of the glass littered the once spotless floor. "Shit!" Cross hurriedly tried to pick it up. "Cross slow down-" Killer tried to warn but got a wince in pain as a response. Cross had accidentally cut his finger.

Killer made him stand up. "Go to Nightmare- I'll deal with this, ok?"

"But-"

"Go"

Cross sighed in defeat before walking to Nightmares office. He knocked on the door nervously as his thoughts started to come to life.

Did he do something wrong?

Was he going to get fired?

Was Nightmare finally gonna kill him?!?

Cross began to panic and that panic rised when he heard his cold voice.

"Come in.."

-------------------------------------------------------

Cross was sitting in front of Nightmare as he tried to keep eye contact but his fear of the other made it hard. Nightmare was writing something on paper, Cross couldn't quite see but he was too worried about what he was called for to worry.

"Cross"

The other jumped a bit and looked at him. "Y-Yes?" Cross cursed himself for stuttering as he faced Nightmare. The mentioned skeleton finally looks at him, that piercing cyan eye sending shivers down Cross' spine. "I've noticed you've been getting really close to Killer" Nightmare said in his cold voice as he watched Cross with interest. Cross gave a small nod as he fiddled with his fingers. "Y-Yes...K-Killer is really nice to me and treats me very kindly" Cross said softly as a small smile appeared on his face.

Nightmare frowned slightly as his tentacles would twitch as if they we're agitated, and Cross noticed this. "Do you both hang out a lot?"

"Ah yes! Killer likes to keep me company"

Nightmare seemed not to like that answer but kept asking him questions about him and Killer's relationship and his mood would sour with every answer. And that's when it hit him.

Nightmare....was jealous

He was jealous of Killer, but why?

That's when Nightmare went silent as he suddenly stood up. Cross jolted and watched him. Nightmare went over to him then held his hand to reveal the cut he got from earlier. "What happened to your hand?" Nightmare asked as the blood would drip down. Cross winced in pain a little before looking away. "I-Its just a small accident, don't worry about it!"

Nightmare got his handkerchief and ripped a little making Cross stare in shock as he wrapped it around the wound. "Next time be careful...I don't want you to get hurt.."

Cross blushed at his statement. "O-Ok..." Questions started to fill his mind as he looked at his now patched up finger. Nightmare chuckled at his reaction. "You may leave now Cross"

Cross nodded as he got up and started to head to the door. "Oh and Cross" Cross stopped as he heard Nightmare and turned around to face him only to have him right in front of him, making Cross blush at how close they we're. Nightmare leaned down to the side of his head as he whispered to his non existent ear.

"Don't forget who you belong to~"
