Beastly Beauty

Actions of Love

Nightmare blushed some as he saw how well the land was taken care of. He hadn't expected to see that when he woke up. He had actually expected to wake up in his study, possibly hungry, maybe even a little sick. He didn't mind that, he could push through it for Cross.

Shifting some, he cautiously moved downstairs. He was sure that was where the other was waiting for him. Or just there in general. It made sense to him that Cross would take a break. He's always spouting about taking breaks and resting. Though sometimes Nightmare thinks he's a bit of a hypocrite.

After moving to the main foyer, he was greeted by the white clad skeleton. In his hands was a tray of warm soup and a drink. There was a lovely scent coming from the food, making Nightmare close his eye.

"You should still be in bed." The blacksmith muttered, soon balancing the tray on one hand. He used the other to lightly push the monster up the stairs.

Night sighed softly, giving a soft smile to his beloved blacksmith. His body was still weak, and Cross would've just dragged him to bed. It would just be better to listen.

Soon, the two were back in his room, Nightmare sitting down on his bed. The pale skeleton smiled at how obedient the Nobleman was being, it made taking care of the other easier.

"The children are quite fond of you." He said as he began to feed the other. The gooey monster furrowed his brows, confused. They weren't afraid of him? "No, they weren't scared of you. They probably want to join my walks."

Night pulled away as the other said that. The children really wanted to see him? No one's wanted to see him before... At least no one that meant him good, only two meant him good before Cross came... Even now, even after all that he's done, Night still can't believe he's there because he wants to be...

Suddenly, there was a soft press against his lips, bringing him back. The gooey monster closed his eye, his body relaxing at the sweet act of love. The other seemed to always have that effect on him. It was such an odd effect.

Cross slowly pulled away from the kiss, giving the other a sorrowful look.

"The children will love you... No one will hurt you, I'll keep you safe." The smaller monster's words were firm, a hard truth to everything he was saying. He meant every word of it, but what could the taller give back for that love? The protection?

"What... What can I give you? A-All I've been doing i-is taking things-" He was cut off by another kiss, his body relaxing once more.

"You deserve every bit of my love, every bit of what I'm giving you. You haven't been taking any more than I'm giving. In fact, I want to give you more, I just know you won't accept it." A small smirking chuckle formed on the other's mouth.

Tears burned Night's eye, him bowing his head. All this reassurance and love, it felt off to him. Wonderful, but off. He was repeating himself, but he truly hadn't felt any form of affection like this before. Maybe it had been given to him once by his Nanny and Brother, but that was too forgotten to remember properly.

Nightmare soon pressed his head into Cross's looking him in the eye. Sure, everything was a bit blurry, but all he needed to do was make sure that Nightmare understood that he was serious.

"I'll do whatever you ask of me... I... My heart and soul, my body and mind... My very being, belongs to you..." He whispered, a blush forming on his face.

Cross blinked in surprise. He genuinely was not expecting a confession like that. Sure, he had demanded Nightmare's heart and love the first time the gooey skeleton asked, but this? To know that if he asked anything, anything, of the other, they'll just comply? It was a turn on~

"You make it difficult to hold back~" He growled lowly, making that blush darker. "I want you so badly~" He kissed the other deeply, pushing his tongue into their unexperienced mouth. The kiss became heated instantly, their tongue 'fighting' as Cross's hands trailed over the plumb ridges and curves of the other. When the separated there was a string of saliva connecting them. Nightmare held this beautiful innocent look, a look that Cross wanted to destroy in the most pleasurable of ways~ "I'll take you when you heal~ Understand?" He growled lowly, licking his lips as he examined the other's face.

Nightmare gave a dazed nod. Cross smiled at that, and the two were left in a comfortable silence as the blacksmith fed the Nobleman his meal.
