Chara flinched. "Something wrong?" Cross asked. Chara didn't respond, slowly pulling up his sleeve nervously. Cross caught on. He quickly prepared his marker.
Chara tilted his head. "Tally marks?"
"So you have a-!?"
"I guess! Isn't it early, though?!"
Cross gave Chara the marker. "I think it has to do with emotional maturity. . ."
"Oh." Chara still took the marker. "Can I keep this?"
"Of course, I have a few anyway."
"Thanks." He went to his room, shutting the door.
". . . Does he not trust me. . ?" Cross laughed, shaking his head. He went to his room as well, pulling out his phone to call someone. Yup, Nightmare, who accepted the call immediately. "Hey, Night~"
"Hey, Cross. Ya need something?" Nightmare hummed.
"I miss you." He whined a bit.
Nightmare chuckled. "I do, too."
"I wanna see you! But it's late. . ." Cross grumbled.
". . . Is your dad home?"
"He will be, soon."
Nightmare sighed. "I love you."
"I love you, too."
"I don't want to leave. . . It's not soon, but I don't want to."
"I don't want you to leave, either. . ." Cross huffed.
"I want to stay with you forever."
"I do, too. . . Someday."
"Hopefully."
"Yeah, hopefully. . ."
"Do you want to meet up tomorrow?"
"Yup! Oh-! Chara got a soulmate just no-"
"WhAT?! HE DID AND HE DIDN'T TELL ME!?"
"It happened just now!"
"I'M STILL HIS DAD-! I mean-" He choked, looking at his entirely taken aback mother.
"When was that established?!" Both Cross and Nim asked in different tones. Cross was laughing and Nim was, well, uh. . . Worried.
"Ask him. We agreed I'm going to adopt him." Nightmare half-joked.
"Did not." Cross chuckled.
"We as in Chara and I."
"Wait, what-?"
Nim, who couldn't hear Cross, was still wondering how the FUCK Nightmare got a son.
"Love, how can you adopt your future brother in law?"
"I don't know, but I'll try."
". . . Did you not catch what I was implying?"
". . . What? Oh!" Cross laughed. "Oh shush!"
"C'mon, Night! How did you not get the joke?!"
". . . J-joke?"
"Uh-?"
"We're not getting married?"
Nim had another thing to question now.
"I mean-! We can! Just, uh, don't plan now!"
"Why not?" He already had a pen and notepad.
"Not yet."
