The Countdown (Crossmare)

Explanation

??? Pov:
"Are you serious!?" I couldn't believe what this stupid maid was saying! Nightmare, the king of Negativity and all things grim, was going on a date!?.

Apparently, from what I've been hearing, Nightmare was going somewhere with his head guard, some say that it was a simple mission. While others say that it was some kind of date. The younger maid that I screamed at trembled in fear and backed away from me. I simply huffed before shooing her away, to which the young maid scurried away.

I pinched the bridge of my nose in annoyance and jealousy. Of course it had to be him, the head guard. Everyone loved him, adored him, and were inspired by him. I breathed in and out, trying to keep calm before starting to walk towards the throne room.

I was going to know for sure, to find out whether the rumors were true. Or not.

Nightmare's Pov:
I sat on the top of my throne, bored. Unfortunately, Cross wasn't by my side at the moment as he had training. He wouldn't mind if I visit him during training, right? I would sometimes go over to the training arena where Cross usually trained and observe him. For professional reasons, of course.

Though, before I could even stand up, the door to the throne room opened and out came a woman. "Burn. What do you need?" I ask, still bored. Burn walked up the stairs to the platform where my throne sat and bowed down. "I came to ask a question, my lord" Burn says with a even tone. I raise an 'eyebdow' and wave my hand for her to continue. "Go on"

3rd Pov:
Burn stood up straight and was a bit nervous, Nightmare could sense it. "I was curious about you and Cross." Burn says which causes Nightmare to freeze up but to Burn it looked like he had no reaction. "What about me and him.?" Nightmare asks, furrowing his 'brows'. He wasn't a fan of people asking what his intentions were with Cross. It wasn't like he any bad intentions anyway.

"W-well, some people have been saying that you guys are going on a...a date..."

What.

Nightmare froze on the spot as soon as he heard the word "date". He blushed almost invisible teal blush. Fortunately for him, Burn didn't notice. "Pardon? Me and Cross are going on a mission not a date." A date? With Cross, that sounds absolutely...absolutely... Nightmare was shooken out of his daze as Burn started to talk once more.

"Okay, thank you for answering my question, my lord." Burn says with a small smile after sighing in what seemed to be relief for some reason. Burn walked down the steps and began to exit the throne room once Nightmare dismissed her. Nightmare simply sat there, flustered, for the first time in his life.

Burn walked through the hallways with a smirk on her face. "I still have a chance. Cross is nothing against me." Burn says to herself. Unfortunately for her, someone was listening in.

Killer Pov:
What the actual fuck?? Burn? I knew that she was always jealous of Cross but what was she planning now.... I have to tell Sandra...
