Crossmare [one shots]

Mistletoe [The King's Knight]

The sounds of footsteps we're the only thing heard on the cold concrete floor as the winter knight walked through the castle hallways. The monochromes warm breathe would create small puffs of clouds because of how cold it was, the moonlight shining through the big windows as snow danced around in the sky as it fell.

There was currently a ball in the castle and everyone was in the ballroom. Every guard was in high alert as they guard everyone and their king. Even though Cross was Nightmares Personal guard and he was supposed to be by his side he made someone take his place as he decided to walk around the castle. He would sometimes catch people kissing and doing things he wish he didn't see. Cross groaned at the thought and continued to walk.

He soon passed by one of the doors that lead to the ballroom and peaked in slightly. He saw Nightmare sitting on his throne with a bored expression but it was barely obvious over his cold look. Cross had learned to read Nightmare's expression through the times he's been with him and found out no one else noticed except for him.

Soon Nightmare caught his stare and the two looked at each other. The taller's stare softened slightly at the sight of the other and his tentacles would sway slightly, Cross felt his heart start to beat fast he thought it might fly out of his chest. He quickly looked away and started to walk around the halls again.

He didn't know why but whenever Nightmare would look at him like that it always made Cross' soul skip a beat and made him feel things he didn't feel before. Why was he like this? Was he sick? Was he having a heart attack? Cross didn't and he just wanted to stop....or did he?

He let out a long sigh as he was far from the ballroom. He leaned against a pillar in one of the hallways as he sighed. Why was he acting like this? He shouldn't be thinking about any of this, he needed to start thinking straight.

It's not like he is though

Looking out the window he stared at the full moon in the sky he always loved the moon and watching the stars it always made him calm. He knew he wasn't allowed to leave the castle with ball still going on but he needed time to think, so he walked out of the castle and went to the garden. It had hundreds of black roses and a beautiful Gazebo where the king would sometimes have tea.

He let out a breathe that created a small cloud as he sank into his scarf more as his hood was up as he approached the gazebo. He soon leaned against the railing as he stared at the moon on the sky as he felt start to slow down in a calmer pace. Letting out a sigh he reached to his chest and held the gold heart necklace that hung on his neck his gaze turned to the ground as it softened. He missed his family....but they we're long gone now ever since he was a kid and still in training.

"It's such a beautiful night......"

Cross jolted as he suddenly heard a voice and pulled out his blade and pointed it at the enemies neck but the stiffened as he realized who it was. Nightmare.

Nightmare hummed and used his finger to point the blade away. "I see you still have your guard up at all times.... that's good..." Nightmare spoke with his deep yet smooth voice. He soon approached Cross when he lowered his sword. Cross bowed down on one knee. "I'm sorry my King....I didn't mean to point my sword at yo-"

"It is fine Cross....get up"

Cross quickly did so but didn't look Nightmare in the eye. He soon felt a hand hold his chin as he was forced gently to look Nightmare in the eyes, that cyan eye light staring into his soul. Cross always found it so entrancing and beautiful. He felt Nightmare's hand glide to cup his cheek as he felt Nightmare's thumb rub against his cheek, he stiffened as he stared at Nightmare's piercing eye light that made him want to melt from his intense yet calm gaze.

Nightmare's tentacles would sway and twitch as it stayed behind him before curling up and would just go back to swaying and twitching. None of them said a word and Cross felt tense from the silence and it didn't go unnoticed. "Why so tense Cross? Is there something wrong?"

Cross looked at him and would hide in his scarf a little before he hummed. "I'm not tense at all...." He mumbled as his eyes would slowly look away from him. Nightmare hummed and made him look at him again. "Don't look away from me...." His voice was calmer and more softer something only Cross heard. Nightmare tend to be more calmer to Cross but would be cold and serious to other people in the castle, whenever he was pissed at something someone would do sometimes Cross would walk in the room and his anger seemed to disappear. He would always stay by his side and rarely left him.

Soon Nightmare pulled away from him. "Well then...I shall leave you be..." He said then took Cross' hand and planted a soft kiss on it making Cross' cheeks heat up slightly. He pulled away and soon started to walk away and soon Cross noticed the mistletoe that was hanging in the exit Nightmare was walking to. He bit his lip he knew he might get killed, but he wasn't thinking right...

He walked forward as he soon grabbed Nightmare's hand. The taller looked at him and raised a brow about to ask him what was wrong before his words died in his mouth as Cross kissed Nightmare's cheek. It was short yet it left a longing and tingling feeling on Nightmare's cheek and Cross' lips. Cross face heated up and soon he lets go of Nightmare's hand as he started to walk off. But was stopped as he felt something cold wrap around his waist keeping him in place. He looked down to see one of Nightmare's tentacles.

Cross almost screamed as he was yanked back, instead he yelped as he was face to face with Nightmare. "You think you could just do that and escape? You expected wrong" Cross clenched his eyes shut as he was ready to feel a tentacle stab through his soul and kill him or Nightmare to crush him to his death. But then he felt something unexpected.

He felt something soft and warm press against his lips and he slowly opened his eyes and his cheeks heated up more. Nightmare was pressing his skele lips against Cross' as they we're kissing and Cross soon melted into the kiss as he closed his eyes again and his arms wrapped him. Nightmare bit Cross' lip gently as he asked for entrance and Cross unconsciously opened his mouth and Nightmare slipped his tongue in as they fought for dominance, the taller winning with ease. Cross fingers curled around Nightmare's suit and the other didn't seem to mind nor care.

The two stayed like that for what felt like hours but turned out to be only a few minutes and they soon pulled away for air, A strand of saliva connected to their mouths as they panted heavily. Cross looked up at Nightmare who was staring back at him, soon the taller smirked. "Enjoyed yourself~?" Nightmare said smoothly as he broke the strand of saliva and cupped Cross' cheeks, making the smallers cheeks heat up more. "Y-Yes...." Cross mumbled in embarrassment as he looked away as he squirmed in the tentacles grip. Nightmare found Cross' embarrassment adorable. He leaned forward and puts their foreheads together and Cross seemed to close his eyes in content.

Soon the two ended up staying there for hours as they stared at the moon and chatted a bit. Enjoying each other's company.
