The Crime King

A need to come back home

The Oreo drunk a bit too much
__________________________________

Cross Isn't sure what had happened, he was just drinking wine with Butcher and Dust and then everything is a blur in his memory, he remembers hugging someone, perhaps Killer had come into the restaurant to pick him up? No, that doesn't seem to make any sense as he didn't tell the skeleton where he was going.

He wakes up in a room with only a nightstand, bed and few boxes inside, the walls are light blue and the ceiling white, there is a beautiful purple carpet on the floor. Cross is lost and his head feels as if it could explode, the headache is really Strong, he hasn't had one like that in years. With the corner of his eye he notices Chara munching on some ghost candys. He sits up and rubs his head. "What happened..?"

The ghost looks at him before shrugging as he floats closer to the skeleton. "I found some candies yesterday then felt that you're walking out of the restroom and so I floated out too. But you weren't walking out actually, Butcher carried you here, you got drunk."

"Oh.." So that explains his headache, Cross gets up quietly before making the bed and walking out of the room. The house is nice, quite big but with only a few pictures on the walls, mainly those of Dust and Butcher. Chara follows the skele quietly. Suddenly Cross bumps into Dust and apologizes to the skeleton. 

"It's alright." The taller skeleton pats his head before smiling slightly. "You wanna join us for breakfast? Horror made some tacos and if you'll still be hungry after that then we also have some rice." Dust seems to notice his little slip up far too late as he already had said his lover's name. Chara blinks a bit. "Horror? Why can't a single person have a normal name in this town?"

Cross has an urge to tell him that in their hometown they didn't have any normal names either but he keeps his mouth shut and titles his head to the side slightly. "His name is Horror? That's a.. nice name." The Oreo thinks for a moment, as much as he would like to deny eating breakfast with the two it would seem quite rude, besides his non-existent gut does seem to like the idea of eating some yummy tacos. "I would love to stay for breakfast, Horrors cooking is really good." He smiles a bit.

"Don't tell his name to Moon." Dust gives him a small glare, a warning it seems before he mentions for him to follow and starts leading the way to the kitchen, the Oreo follows and so does Chara. It's not like Cross would say anything to that monster about one of his team-mates, the other skeleton didn't need to give him a warning but it's not a surprise, who wouldn't do everything to keep their lover safe? "I won't tell him a thing."

Dust doesn't say anything but he seems to smile slightly. Finally they are inside the kitchen. It looks really fancy and the smell of food hits Cross the moment he enters, his mouth waters at the sight of a plate full of tacos on the table. Horror chuckles seeing the two. Dust sits down on one of the chairs next to Horror before he grabs a taco and eats quietly. The Oreo does the same before taking the food and trying to eat as politely as he can. "So.. how did I end up here?"

Dust chuckles before he looks at the Oreo. "You drank a bit too much and then cuddled into Horror as if he was a giant teddy bear, it was kinda cute if you'll ask me. Since we didn't know where you live we brought you home." The skeleton goes back to eating his taco as if the thing that he just said was not embarrassing at all. Cross blushes and sweats quietly. Chara laughs a bit as he floats to the skeleton and whispers to him. "I have a feeling like they have a crush on you or something, you should evacuate, Oh wait there is a vent come on Cross you played Among us ya know what to do-" 

The Oreo grips his skull with one hand, trying to somehow cut off Charas talking and the headache that had the audacity to worsen. Horror looks at him in what appears to be concern before he hands him a glass of water along with two pills. "Drink.. those are painkillers…"

"Thank you.. for everything." Cross takes the painkillers and they immediately melt as they make contact with his magic tongue, absorbing into his magic. He drinks the water and starts finishing his taco before the sauce drips and stains his sleeve. The Oreo only sighs while Chara rolls his eyes. "Idiot, You can't even eat without making yourself dirty, you should invest in a bigger washing machine."

Dust takes some paper and wipes the sauce away before whipping Crosses mouth as well. "Be careful, Horror, put some sauce into them for a stronger flavour."

The Oreo smiles and nods. As he is about to take another taco his phone buzzes. He raises a brow before taking the device out of his pocket and freezing. 12 missed calls and 23 unread messages, all of them from Killer.

Oh sh**.
