At first it's like Dust said, it's not hard finding the guy and doing the job, stealing the Van is another thing tho. They have trouble finding it and once they do it seems that luck isn't on their side this time, just as they open the Van one of the police dogs nearby starts barking angrily as if they stole it's favorite toy from it. And the reason for it is clear, the Van is full of drugs hidden as washing liquids, some of the containers are damaged but most of them are intact.
Cross and Dust are quick to get into the Van and the Oreo drives, getting as quickly out of there as he can. Unluckily for them it catches the attention of the police, after all it's not everyday that there is a white Van driving twice the allowed speed. Soon enough five police cars are driving after them, it seems like there is no way to lose them.
"Sh**! Dust, can you open a portal?!" Cross yelps as a bullet is shot and flies through the back window before flying out through the front one, leaving cracks along with two holes. "I don't have enough magic to do that." The other skeleton let go of the handle that he was clinging for dear life to (The Oh sh, we're going too fast handle as Cross likes to call it.) The next thing he does is take out his phone and call someone.
"Hi Hun, Ye I'm alright, what about ya?" Dust hums before gripping the handle again as Cross drives out of the road and almost hits a tree. Chara is in the back-seat, looking as terrified as never before he too tries to grip the Oh sh we're going too fast handle. Cross looks at the other skeleton and glares. "We don't have time for this!"
"Oh that's good, remember to take care of yourself honey. Can you open a portal in the park to our backyard? Ye? Okay thanks, talk to you later sweetie, love youu take care." Dust smiles as he ends the call and puts the phone back in his pocket. Cross screams as a portal opens in front of them and the car falls inside, the moment they are on the other side it closes.
The Oreo let's out a sigh of relief as he opens the door and walks out of the car, his hands are shaking and so are his legs. Dust opens the car and walks out before stretching a bit. "Wasn't that bad right? You can go, I'll get the car to Moon somehow."
Cross just glares at the other skeleton before teleporting to his apartment without a word. Chara teleports with him and the moment they are inside the ghost looks at Cross with a serious expression. "For a moment I thought that they would catch us.. don't you think that this is going too far? A kiss is just a kiss but a mark carved into the bone?! For what?? For talking to someone?! He is crazy, we have to leave as quickly as we can."
For a moment the Oreo considers what the spirit has said. They can't just leave like that, what about Killer? Lust and Dust.. (sure he hates the guy most of the time but he can be okay sometimes.) "We can't. He will find us even if we move to a different town besides.. we have friends here that we can't just leave like that.." Cross looks away as the spirit scowls.
"I want to live Idiot. I don't want to die just because you're afraid to leave, at least give me a body somehow or a human soul so I can use it to make one." The human looks at the skeleton and the Oreo is rather lost. The promise of silence without the ghosts constant rambling is tempting but at the same time he doesn't want to be left alone with all of this sh**.
"I can try.." Suddenly the door to their room gets opened, Killer walks inside dressed in only a white t-shirt and black shorts this time, he looks around the room and frowns slightly as he looks at the other skeleton. Chara sighs and floats away through the wall."Crossy who are you talking to? And how did you get inside? I didn't see you walking in."
"I teleported, and no one I'm just thinking out loud. Are you hungry?" Cross walks out of the room and goes to the kitchen, hoping to avoid any more questions he starts making dinner. Looks like Killer had bought groceries this time because the fridge is full, the Oreo smiles as he makes some chicken wings with potatoes and serves them onto two plates.
Killer just watches him and as he sits down takes the opportunity to peek the Oreo on the cheek before sitting down himself, blushing slightly red, his soul wobbles again and Cross is tempted to ask about it but he doesn't. The smaller skeleton gets up and peeks Killer on the forehead before sitting down again and starting to eat.
It's silent as the two finish dinner, but the silence is a comfortable one, not one that chokes you out of fear or the awkward one. After the two finish, Killer puts the plates into the sink before picking Cross up and going to the living room, sitting down on the sofa and putting the Oreo in his lap, grining. The TV is already on with a cliche romance movie playing and there are few candles on the table.
Cross huffs and turns to Killer before he grabs him by the cheeks and pulls down, kissing him on the teeth. The other skeleton flinches slightly in surprise but quickly melts against the Oreo and wraps his arms around him.
Moments like those are the only thing that keep Cross going at this point, he wishes that he could spend his everyday with Killer but he knows better, the world simply won't allow it, no matter how much he tries to make his dreams reality.
