He freezes for a moment and his soul aches knowing that he spent the night sleeping soundly while Killer was worried sick about him. He sighs before getting up. "I have to go. My partner is worried, thank you two for everything!" Dust and Horror waves at him as he teleports away.

"What was that about? You acted as if you saw a ghost." Chara raises a brow as he tries to get a glance at the phone. Cross sighs and turns off the device before putting it in his pocket, he teleports to his room. That's a good thing at least. "Killer was really worried about me while I spent the night sleeping as if I was some sleeping Beauty."

The spirit frowns slightly before floating closer. "Well, it's not your fault, idiot, everyone needs to sleep from time to time." The ghost shrugged. Cross sighted and started looking around the house for the other skeleton. "It's not about that.. I should have told him something at least so he wouldn't worry so much.." he whispered to the ghost.

As he walks into Killer's room he notices the skeleton. Killer is not looking okay, his soul is unstable, a target moving from side to side and spinning at such a high speed that Crosses eye lights have trouble focusing on it, he is sitting with his knees bent on the bed and gripping his skull, the negativity pouring out of his eye sockets isn't anymore just small streams but a river, pouring so much that Killer had somehow managed to stain even the walls with small amounts of it.

"This doesn't look too good, you sure that you don't want to turn the temperature up? This stuff is freezing." Chara shivers slightly as he looks at all of the negativity staining the clothes on the floor and the room, he doesn't float inside. Cross quietly crawls on the bed and sits down before he takes Killers hands and gently takes them off of his skull. The monster flinches, not seeing anything by the amount of black goop that's pouring out. "C-Cross.. ?"

"Shh, It's okay Kills, I'm here." Cross let's go of Killer's hands and puts his hands on his skull before whipping away the black substance but he only succeeds at smearing it all over Killer's face, the cold from it is digging into his fingers but he tries his best to ignore it. The other skeleton hugs him as his soul seems to calm down a bit with the spinning and shaking. "I-It's not s-safe here g-get out p-please.." Killer stutters every other word.

Cross ignores the request and hugs him carefully, making sure that the soul floats out of the way in time. "It's okay." He rubs Killers back and the skeleton clings to him, staining his shirt with the dark substance. They just stay like those for a while with neither of them saying anything until Killer calms down, he doesn't let go of Cross tho. "Where were you..?"

"I'm sorry I was sleeping over at a friend's house and forgot to tell you.." Cross scratches the back of his neck awkwardly. Killer sighs and just pulls him closer to himself. "Don't do that.. At least please inform me.. I would hate to lose you Crossy, I love you..." The skeleton sighs and yawns slightly.

"I will.. I love you too, kills." Killers grip on him seems to loosen slightly as the skeleton lays his head down on his shoulder and closes his eye sockets. Less than ten minutes later and the skeleton is asleep. Cross gently lays him down on the bed as he gets off it and teleports some tissues to himself before cleaning Killers face. It doesn't stay clean for long but at least it's cleaner than it was. He covers the skeleton with a clean blanket that he pulled out of the closet and leaves.

"Ish, you want me to remind you to text him next time?" Chara floats after him as he walks to the kitchen. Cross nods to the ghost before he makes some nuggets for the skeleton to reheat. Killer must have been exhausted to just fall asleep like that.. he will surely be hungry when he wakes up. With that done Cross walks to Killer's room and starts cleaning things so they won't be stained with the black substance.

The next day Killer is busy working as Cross goes out of the house to the familiar alleyway. This time there is no Horror nor Dust, there is only Moon, dressed in clothes that he was in the strip club in. The monster hands him a black bag. "Here, your pay."

"Check that idiot, I don't want him to scam us like the last time." Chara glares at the monster. Cross listens as he opens it and is in shock at the amount of money that is inside. Millions, that could last him a year if he would be careful what he is buying. "Oh and one more thing." As he closes the bag and looks up at Moon the monster blows out weird pink powder into his face.

The Oreo coughs and tries to get it out of his face but to no avail as he had already inhaled parts of it. The pink clouds his vision as his eye lights turn fuzzy and disoriented, his legs wobbly and he almost falls on Moon if it weren't for the monster catching him. The monster chuckles and wraps his arms around his waist. "Hey Idiot?! You hear me?? The fook!"

Cross seems to not react as his eye lights only look from one place to another,  Moon lifts up his chin, cupping his cheek with one of the tentacles and starts to lean in slowly. "Oh f no!" Chara  takes control with little to no fight from Crosses side and bites the tentacles before he slaps Moon's face and teleports a bit away, growling as he summons his knife. The stuff is freezing on his fangs and feels as if it was burning at the same time. "Hands to yourself you fooking prevert."

Moon seems surprised as he looks at the monster but quickly goes back to his bored look. "What a shame, it was supposed to last at least 8 hours not seconds." The next thing he does is grin. "Perhaps a little bit more will help."
