Cross yawned and looked around. He was still half naked from last night. Last night. . . a smirk twitched at his mouth. He looked at Nightmare and grinned. He could have wrecked him so much more. Cross shifted to get comfortable, that woke Nightmare up. He yawned and looked down at himself, flinched. He was only wearing a jacket. His head swung over to face Cross. "Wh- you could've at least put my zipped up my jacket." He reached for his boxers.

"Heh, sorry." Cross let go of him. Nightmare hugged Cross quickly, jacket sliding off his shoulders. "Cute." Cross booped him. Nightmare's entire body twitched. He enjoyed that way too much. "C'mon, we should get dresse-"

The door slammed open. "Good morning, Uncle Cross!" Vani ran up to the bed and tackle hugged Cross. The couple gripped the sheets tightly.

"Oh! Morning, dear." Cross recovered quickly and hugged her with one arm.

Vani noticed. "Is your arm hurting, Uncle Cross?"

"No, why?"

"This is supposed to be a hug." She huffed. "I'm gonna hug Mr. Nighthair instead now."

"He's sleeping and my other arm's asleep."

"Aww, can you wake it up."

"Sure, sweetheart, but could you give me a minute, please?" He smiled.

"Oh, okay." She smiled back.

"How about you go say good morning to Chara while I wake Nightmare?"

"Okay!" She got off the bed. "See you, Uncle Cross!"

"See you." Cross smiled. Vani closed the door behind herself. They both let out a sigh of relief. "We're only doing that when we're alone now."

"Heh, yup."

"Are you feeling alright?"

"My hips hurt a little bit."

Cross kissed his forehead. "Is there anything you want to eat? Or a bath?"

"Bath, please."

"Of course." Cross helped him off the bed.

"Thanks, Crossy."

"Anytime." Cross led him to the bathroom and closed the door.

...

Nightmare sighed happily. "Thanks, love." He kissed Cross.

"No problem."

"Mind helping me change~?"

"Hm, sure." Cross got Nightmare's clothes, and helped him in them. He got another kiss from Nightmare. They continued to kiss for a while, actually.

Chara knocked on the door. "Are you two in there?"

"Yeah, we are." Cross answered.

"What're you doing?"

"Just getting ready. We're coming."

"Alright, don't be too long!"

"We won't." Cross looked at Nightmare. "Let's go."

"Mhm." He hugged Cross quickly. They went to where Cross made breakfast and Nightmare clung to him like always. Chara gave a teasing look.

"I'm used to it so stop it with that face."

"Fine, fine. Epic will be harder to convince."

"Heh, I know."

"What're you making?"
