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

It was a cold and breezy night, yet peaceful and quiet. The moon shined brightly in the dark sky, while the stars also surrounded the night sky.

Cross was in the throne room as he watched the moon in the sky. He Always enjoyed the night sky but was never a fan of the cold, which explains his fluffy attire. The throne room was dark and empty, the king of darkness not yet there.

Cross had been assigned to serve the prince- soon to be king -of the night. He had never met the other yet though he's seen paintings of him in the hallways. He seemed sweet and nice. The monochrome skeleton perked up as another guard entered the throne room. It was a another skeleton. He had a blank eyes as black liquid leaked out and a target for a soul. He grinned at Cross.

"Hey Crossy~ The new king is almost here" he cooed as he went over to him and nudged him.

"Killer stop acting so childish"

"Awe~ Your no fun~" Killer chuckled as he punched his shoulder playfully. Killer and Cross had been friends ever since they were kids and they spent each and every moment together. Though their we're other kids that grew up with them tho they either disappeared or moved away. Killer and Cross did everything together, even training to be guards together. And now here they are, knights in shining armor.

Cross rolled his eyes playfully. "Your such a kid Killer"

"ALL GUARDS STAND BY THE PRINCE HAS ARRIVED"

The two skeletons perked up and joined the other guards as they lined up. The room went silent as the sound of footsteps filled the room.

Soon a dark boned skeleton walked in as a cold and strong aura followed him making the guards stiffen slightly. No one dared to make a sound, the only sound being the heavy boots of the tall goopy skeleton before them. The glow from the moon was the only light source they had and the cold glowing eye light of the king of darkness. Cross did not expect this.

The painting Cross had seen was of a skeleton with purple eye lights and a golden circlet with a moon carved in the middle, a pearl boned skeleton. That's what Cross heard the King would look like, but seems like it was a lie.....or was it?

As the king of negativity stepped into the light Cross was able to describe him in three words.

He was hot...

Cross mentally slapped himself for thinking that and he felt his cheeks heat up a little but not very obvious. Soon all the guards seemed to jolt as they suddenly heard the other speak.

"Hmm....Not many but they will do.." His voice was deep and smooth sending shivers down Cross' spine. The taller goopy skeleton walked along them as he kept his single glowing eye light on them as he observed them.

Soon he stopped as he was now in front of Cross and observed a lot longer than when he was observing the other guards, making Cross nervous but he kept his cold and stoic composure.

His cyan eye light was concentrated on Cross observing every detail about the monochrome skeleton but soon he looked away and sat on his throne. The guards soon noticed the goopy appendages on the others back. They all faced him as they waited for an order. The king of darkness uninterested before he commanded.

"You are all dismissed"

And with that they all bowed and marches out. Cross risked a glance back to look at the other and the two caught each other's eyes. The Goopy skeleton stared at Cross with coldness and a hint of Curiosity.

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

Years had passed as the King now known as Nightmare ruled over the land. Cross noticed that he would spend most of his time in his room and his study but would also sometimes stay at his throne room in some occasion. They've never talked a lot though they would have small conversations in the halls at times and Cross would even catch him in the garden in rare occasion.

Cross was a bit nervous since Nightmare had suddenly summoned him to his study, which was a rare thing for the king of negativity to do.

Cross was currently walking down the quiet halls as the sound of his boots would sometimes fill that quietness. He soon stood in front of the dark oak door with moon carvings on it as it added some design to the beautiful door. He knocked on the door and he waited till he heard a quiet come in. Cross opened the door and entered the study.

It was dark, only lit by the single candle on the king's desk. The room had dark shades of purple and black as it was decorated with fancy furniture. Cross quickly stood in front of Nightmares desk as he bowed down on one knee. "You called for me your Majesty?" He kept his cold and stoic demeanor as he kept his head down.

Nightmare stared at Cross as his tentacles would sway and twitch on his back as he watch him. "Yes, lift your head up" The goopy skeleton said with his deep and smooth voice that never failed to make Cross's spine feel chills. He did as told and looked at the taller as his scarf covered his face. Nightmare stood up and went over to Cross, making the smol tense up a little. He went over to Cross and brushed his thumb over Cross' zig zag scar as he hummed.

Cross shivered at his touch and wanted to lean into it but didn't move a muscle, the other had a reputation of killing guards who don't listen. "You seem tired Cross..."

Cross snapped out of his thoughts as the other spoke. It was true Cross looked exhausted. He works harder than any guard and does most of the work, he hasn't gotten enough sleep at all but he couldn't show weakness to his king. He didn't wanna lose his job.

"I'm not M'Lord"

"Are you saying I'm wrong?" Nightmare glared at Cross as his tentacles twitched in slight annoyance and Cross quickly noticed and apologized and said he wasn't. Nightmare hummed and lead Cross to the couch that was in the corner of the room. He sat down with the other.

Cross looked at him confused before he yelped as the other pulled him to his chest as he held him there. Nightmare pats Cross' head soothingly  making Cross' face heat up at their position. Soon Nightmares hand glowed a soft Cyan as he continued to stroke Cross' head soothingly as his other hand would rub his back. Soon Cross found himself getting lulled to sleep by his magic as he tried to stay awake. "M-My....Lord-"

"Shhh....Cross it's ok..." he said softly as his voice was more calm and soothing. "Sleep..." His voice sounded almost hypnotic as Cross' eyes fluttered shut as he fell asleep in Nightmare's grasp.

"Congrats Cross, you've been promoted" He said softly as he continued to pet the sleeping skeleton in his arms.

"You are now my personal guard"
