......................................................................
Nightmare and Cross have been dating for awhile now, almost a year but considering it was Nightmare the smoll Oreo was with, he couldn't help but wonder if Night cared for him at all. Sure he could be kind to Cross one moment and have an attitude the next, but that wasn't the reason why Cross was worried about the relationship.
No, it was that Nightmare didn't seem to love him, or even if he said he did- he'd never seem to show It, he tried not to let it bother him as much, but despite his hardest efforts he just couldn't shake the feeling that this relationship of theirs could be one-sided, for all he knew- he could just be using him.
He wanted to ask, he desperately did but...he didn't know if it would anger the King or take an even bigger downfall on their relationship, he didn't wanna leave him. But he wanted to ask anyways.

"Cross?...Cross!" Cross stopped his daydreaming as he heard his name being called, he turned to the owner of the voice, it was Killer, "Yeah?" "You okay? You've been spaced out for the last 20 minutes". Oh he had- he hadn't realized, "Yea, I'm fine"
Killer sighed "Alright, Nightmare called us Btw" Cross stiffened, it went unnoticed but he forced himself to keep his composure and had Killer lead him to the throne room.
Upon arriving, he saw the rest of the Group already there, they seemed to be waiting on them, "You're late.." Nightmares voice directed to them, Cross could feel his singular eye staring at him and Killer, almost as if he was Mad, but the sway of his tendrils showed how calm he was.
"I'm sorry Boss", Cross kept his head down, "Yeah, sorry Boss, just Cross here kept his head somewhere else" Killer replied carelessly as always, Nudging Cross' arm. Nightmares attention was only on Cross this time, he noticed Cross spacing out a few times, it seemed more of a habit now, he'll admit the monochrome had gotten good at hiding his emotions from time to time, but that doesn't mean Nightmare didn't notice his change in behavior either.
"Very well", was all he said before he started talking to the rest of the gang, his subordinates, that word, subordinate- Cross didn't like that word, it's all it seemed he was, just a subordinate, not his lover, his partner, just a subordinate, he wouldn't have minded the word if him and Nightmare would've stayed King and Servant, but that wasn't the case, he kept his composure through the whole meeting, Nightmare looked him up and down a few times before continuing to speak to them.

Everyone was dismissed as soon as it was over, Cross intended to leave but It seems His lover had other Plans
"Cross stay a moment"
Cross turned back to look at Nightmare and simply replied "yes my lord"
They waited until everyone left before Nightmare spoke,"Cross..I've noticed your strange behavior lately" Cross looked down for a moment before looking back up at Nightmare, 'Strange?' He thought about that word for a second
"Would you care to tell me what's been bothering you?" Cross stiffened once more, Nightmares voice sounded sweet and gentle, but Cross still had his doubts, it's not like he wanted to have these doubts but Nightmares own behavior towards him was like both Spring and winter, nice one moment and Cold the next, he still remembers how in the past Nightmare used to pin him to the wall with a tendril whenever he was pissed off with him, sure it was a long time ago and it seemed he changed but his attitude was still there and Lately Nightmare had been more distant then ever.
"I..uhm..", Cross gulped, knowing he couldn't keep his composure around Night for long, but he didn't know how to respond, "I'm alright, it's nothing, really" Cross responded, his voice gentle aswell
