Nightmare and Cross left and returned to their kingdom. Nightmare had Cross go take a nap. “I’ll wake you up at dinner time if you are not awake by then.”
“A-alright.” Cross went to his room and removed his extra clothing, leaving on his shirt and pants.
Cross was woken up by someone shaking him awake. It was Nightmare. “Hey, Cross. It’s time for dinner, I said I would get you up.”
“Y-you did say that. T-thank you.” Cross sat up and stretched.
“No problem.” Nightmare said as he stood up straight. Cross was going to follow him out, he tripped over something and fell, Nightmare catching him. If you were to walk in at that exact moment, you may have thought they were dancing, as Nightmare caught Cross and held him against himself, and held onto Cross’s hand with one hand and the other was around Cross’s waist to help stabilize him.
“T-thank you, Sir.”
“You're welcome, just be careful, alright?”
“A-alright.” Cross followed Nightmare out.
At dinner, Cross ended up next to Nightmare. “Hey sir?” he asked.
“Yes, Cross?” Nightmare said as he took a sip from his drink.
“Are you going to find a significant other?”
Nightmare almost choked on his drink. “Pardon?!”
Cross backed away, hearing Nightmare’s tone, “i-I’m sorry sir! I was just curious!”
“It's fine, Cross. You didn’t ask anything wrong. I was just surprised by your question.” He took a drink before continuing. “And to answer your question, I do have romantic feelings for someone. I just doubt they would want to be with me.” Cross was clearly surprised, and Nightmare laughed.
“Who would not wanna be with you?” Cross asked.
“Many people.”
