Mama Inky (Mama Ink Sans Oneshots)

Criss Cross (Mama Inky Shorts)

A little short for Cross! :D
•♡•

Blueprint was excited, he couldn't wait to give gifts to his uncle, Cross. He was surprised to hear that the monochrome skeleton's birthday was coming up a few days ago. How'd he know? Well, he heard his mom and older siblings talk about it the other day.

~♡~ (This line means flashback :D)

"I have strawberries and blueberries, what do you have?" Paperjam smiled and shown the other two their basket.

"I got blackberries and cherries!" Palette grinned, his basket in front of PJ. He put his hand in and took out a red berry, "And these weird looking strawberries!"

Blueprint stared at the berry and rose a brow, he looked up at the other sibling and pointed at the berry.

"Erm, that's a snakeberry Palette" Pal blinked and tilted his head at the berry, ultimately dropping the berry back into the basket, smiling so innocently.

He doesn't seem to know berries well.

"I know, but it's true" Blueprint perked up at his mother's voice and looked at the kitchen window, his mom inside, as he said was cooking.

The child stared at the window, wanting to go listen and looked back at the two siblings. They both didn't hear and stayed chatting about their berries.

Print stood up and decided to leave his basket with them, the two noticed and it made him speak, "I'm going inside, I'll be back in a moment"

They nodded and continued to talk, surprisingly, PJ knew about snakeberries. And they were about to tell Palette about berries and if they were poisonous or not.

Now, Blueprint was in the act of going to the kitchen. He went in through the front door and quietly closed the door behind him. The child creeped in, hiding near the entrance to the kitchen and listened, finally hearing something really interesting.

"What if I don't want to?" He heard Stain ask. It seemed like the older was whiney about what they were talking about.

"Well, Stain, would you like us to not go to your birthday?" Gray questioned, a sarcastic tone in his voice. Why were they talking about Stain's birthday?

"Well...I guess" A chuckle came from Ink at Stain's sentence.

"Look, I know you aren't really excited or content about this but, It's Cross' birthday! Come on, why not just him a gift instead huh?" Print raised his eyebrows in surprise. Cross' birthday? When?

"Mom, his birthday isn't until the 10th, I think these two need some time y'know?" Gradient commented.

"You're right. Stain, Moku, you both have to think pretty hard for a gift, Cross' having a special day soon!" Stain groaned, but nothing came out as a comment to Moku, it seemed like he just nodded throughout the whole conversation.

And that made Blueprint confused, didn't Moku want to give a gift to Uncle Cross?

~♡~

Back to the present, heh, the child was making a gift for his uncle. Print thought hard ever since the other day and found out some gifts to give Cross, a few are what the monochrome skeleton loved deeply.

Right now, Ink was checking on the children's gifts for Cross, making sure they are all ready for the skeleton. The protector was currently listening to Palette.
