"Cross, I don't understand.."
Dream frowned. Cross lowered his head slightly, almost feeling sorry for both Dream and himself.
"If you knew he was using you the whole time, why didn't you leave sooner?"
Cross turned his head to the side.
Sighing, he answered.
"Because, even though I knew he was lying. I still wanted to feel something."
He dryly chuckled, slightly smiling towards Dream, who looked to be in disbelief.
"So i...I took the chance. Despite knowing he was faking everything, I just wanted to feel his warmth."
Dream gently reached out a hand and placed it on the others' shoulder.
"Cross, there could've been other ways to feel anything like that. You don't have to put yourself through this."
Cross shook his head.
"I didn't want anyone else.. I wanted Nightmare, I foolishly wanted Nightmare..."
He looked down at the ground.
"I foolishly fell for him, only for him to use me to his souls content....he never loved me Dream. I always knew he never did.
Cross chuckled
"And the sad thing is that I don't hate him for it.."
He turned his attention back on Dream.
"I put myself in this situation."
"Cross.."
Cross took Dreams hand from his shoulder, the other bringing it back to its original spot.
"Thank you for trying to help me, I really appreciate it. But I'll be okay."
He sadly smiled.
The golden skeleton wanted to object but for once decided against it and simply bowed his head in acceptance.
"Be careful, Cross."
Was all he said.
He nodded.
"You too, Dream."
With that Cross left, but he didn't teleport back to the castle, he went to a random AU.
He was by a pond, appearing lost in thought. Recalling Dreams words.
'I took the chance. I always knew.'
He closed his eyes.
'I knew he never loved me. He's using me.'
Tears fell down his face, and quickly, he wiped them away.
'It's alright. I'll be okay.'
He took a deep breath. Thinking He should get back before Nightmare could get suspicious.
~~~~~~~
Walking out of the kitchen of the kitchen with a bar of chocolate in his hand. He walked to his room.
"Cross."
A deep voice stopped him.
Looking in the direction of the owner, he saw it was Nightmare.
"Yes M'lord?"
He softly asked.
"Why were you out this late?"
The taller walked up to him.
Oh-
"No good reason Night, just needed some fresh air."
Cross calmly responded.
Nightmare arched a brow, not seeming to believe him.
"Only for fresh air? Is that why I sense a certain aura around you?"
Cross froze.
'Dammit!'
Yup, he forgot the other could sense the still lingering aura
"Oh, Cross."
Nightmare softly said, cupping Cross' cheek.
"You know already, right? I hate liars."
Cross raised his own hand to hold the one already pressed to his cheek.
"I know, M'lord."
Cross offered his partner a small smile.
"You don't have to worry, I'm loyal to you always."
Nightmare didn't say anything, only seeming to scan him before sighing.
Cross didn't pull away just yet, instead he pulled the King into a kiss which was quickly reciprocated.
Feeling the taller wrap an arm around his waist and put a hand behind his head to deepen the kiss.
Pulling apart, Cross panted alittle.
Nightmare on the other hand, held the smallers jaw.
"Don't think I didn't know you went to see him and yet without permission."
Night snarled. His cyan eye Piercing through Cross'
Cross remained indifferent.
"I know, M'lord, and I seem to have only wasted my time with him"
Nightmare raised a brow again
"What did he tell you?"
He growled.
"Nothing useful really, just that I should leave you and go to his side."
Cross still remained as calm as ever as he told his lie.
The King let go of his jaw and instead went back to caressing his cheek. Cross leaned into the touch, humming.
The tallers gaze softened at the sight.
Before he snarled again and said.
"You are not to see him again, if I feel a speck of his aura on you again Cross its going to be a problem."
"I understand Night."
Nightmare appeared content with that, it wasn't always that Cross ever broke a rule or even disobeyed him.
"Good..now come to bed."
"You just threatened me and now you're inviting me back into your chambers."
Cross being cocky he crossed his arms.
Nightmare simply rolled his eye.
A tendril wrapped around Cross and began to pull him as the King walked to the direction of his bedchambers.
'"Very funny Cross, dont test me."
Cross chuckled.
"I would never, Nighty. But am I still aloud a goodnight kiss?"
He stifled laugh as Nightmare sent him a glare. Feeling a tendril flick him lightly in the head.
'Despite faking his love for me, he never physically hurt me.'
He sighed.
'I can live with this, as long as he doesn't hate me to the extent.'
