The Crime King

A lover

Probably a moment that you all had been waiting for, Kross-

Cross sighs as he eats some fries that he made. He has no idea how Killer survived on his own for so long if the other skeleton doesn't even know how to make a simple broth, in all honesty he should be banned from the kitchen but Cross just doesn't have the heart to ban him. Killer raises a brow at him before taking one of the fries and grins a bit.

"You're taking a long time while eating those. You want me to feed you or something?" Killer chuckles as he wiggles the french fry before bumping it against Crosses mouth. Chara blinks as he comes back and looks at the skeletons. "Hey idiot, did your idiot friend over there lose his mind or something?"

 "Choo Choo, open up for the train." Cross blushes before looking away and huffing. Killer giggles before eating the french fry himself. The Oreo turns to the other again and whispers to himself. "You're lucky that I like you." Killer seemed to hear that.

"You.. like me?" The skeleton titled his head in what seemed to be confusion. His soul was a wobbly heart, no longer a target and faint eye lights appeared in his eye-sockets. Cross blushed even more realizing that the other had heard him, he looked at the ground. "I uh- I'm sorry I.. didn't mean to say that out loud."

"No it's alright. I.. I actually feel the same way." Cross looked at Killer as the other skeleton smiled a bit. Chara made a 'bleh' sound before he floated out of the kitchen through a wall. "I actually liked you for quite some time now but.. didn't know how to confess. But you like me too, so.. would you want to be my boyfriend?"

"I would love to.." it feels as if by saying those words Cross flipped some switch in Killer's mind because the moment he says that the other skeleton hugs him and starts kissing him all over his face. Killer stops after a moment and cups his cheeks, hesitating it seems. "Can I..?"

It takes a long embarrassing moment for Cross to figure out what the other skeleton means and wants to do. "I- S-Sure!" Killer leans in and kisses him, it is no way near the forced kiss that he got from Moon, it's much better. Gentle, soft, Killer seems to take his time and Cross enjoys every second of it.

After a moment Killer pulls away panting, Cross is in no better state as he clings to the other skeleton and buries his face in his chest. The taller kisses his forehead before picking him up. The Oreo squeaks and wraps his legs around Killers middle section and clings to his shoulders as the skeleton gets up and carries him to his room.

The inside of the room is a mess, clothes are laying on the ground and the night stand is looking like something sharp has been impaled into it multiple times, the bed is not better either as the blankets are laying on the ground and the pillow looks like it could use some sewing. Cross freezes slightly but calms down as Killer pets his skull and lays him down on the bed before laying down next to him and hugging him. "Don't worry I won't try anything. I want to.. take things slow so you'll be comfortable."

"Thank you.." Cross smiles as he hugs the other monster back and yawns slightly. Despite sleeping not too long ago he is tired again, it's slightly concerning but he knows the reason for it. He didn't eat enough today so his body is trying to use as little magic as it can and it is doing that by trying to get him to sleep, sleep is like the energy and magic saving mode.

The Oreo flinches as something buzzes in his pocket, he shoves his hand into the pocket and pulls out his phone in surprise. He hadn't seen the device for a week and since the sound was turned off he couldn't find it either, good thing that he didn't put those pants into the laundry too. With shaky hands he unlocks the device and looks at the messages. Besides ads there is one that catches his attention, it's from his team-mate Dust.

'I would stay home tomorrow if I were you. I don't know what you did but Boss is furious. Take a day off so he'll calm down a bit.'

'Okay, thanks for the warning.'

Cross replies to the message thankful for the warning. He is not surprised but rather confused, why was Moon so angry? He had only listened to the monster and tried having fun but no, the moment that he meets a nice guy and actually starts having fun the other has to get angry for some reason and ruin everything. Killer raises a brow as he looks at the Oreo. "What's up?"

"I don't have work tomorrow. I can spend the whole day at home with you." Cross smiles as he turns off his phone and puts it back in his pocket. The other skeleton huffs before pulling the Oreo closer to himself. "Almost everyone has a day off Cross, it's Saturday tomorrow.. Are you sure that you don't want to work online like me? I don't know what your job is but you often come home with injuries or in a bad mood.. I'm worried about you."

Cross frowns before he shakes his head no. Any other job would be better but it wouldn't give him that much money. Killer's payment is not even enough to pay half of the bills and if he worked like the other skeleton too they just wouldn't have enough money to survive. "Nothing bad is happening at work, the Boss is just being a bush. I often try to take my anger out on the trees in the forest but for some reason always end up getting hurt in the process." 

"Oh.. well, I know a good gym where you can punch some punching bags instead, I can even take you there tomorrow if you want, sleep for now tho you seem tired." Killer kisses his forehead before closing his eye sockets. Cross sighs before doing the same.

It hurts him to lie like that to his new partner. Maybe in the future he will have the courage to tell him about what is really happening but for now it seems better to lie and hope that the other will believe him. Even if he is hurting himself by doing so, it is always better than telling his partner the truth and hurting him instead. Always better..
