Ever since the beginning...

"I now pronounce you partners for life!"

The monochrome heard a scowl from the taller.

He made it clear he wanted nothing to do with me..

Cross swallowed harshly.

                          ____________

"Congratulations, your Majesty. I'm sure you'll be blessed with heirs soon."

Nightmare merely scoffed.
"Don't make me laugh, as if I'll ever bed a nuisance like him."

Cross flinched at the tone, he wasn't included in the conversation, he could hear the King speak from the other side of the room.

The monochrome dropped his gaze to the floor.
'I suppose there's no need for a wedding night..'

You're probably wondering why I put myself in this situation..

There was this woman, she was sweet and gentle. Her voice soft, she was beautiful.

And she was extremely close to Nightmare.

And although I had only met her once in his life, when she was alive.

I saw her again, In a dream. Begging me to look after Nightmare.

No matter how difficult.

And it proved to be very difficult to even speak to him..

"You will have your own room."
Nightmare spoke to him.
"I don't want you even near me, do you understand?"

Cross merely nodded.

Nightmare didn't say another word and left.

"Is there anything else you need from me, your Majesty?"
Cross spoke up.

Nightmare stopped walking.

"........"

"You are to only attend to your Affairs, call on me ONLY if it's important.."

"I-"

"There will be nothing between us in this marriage, I have no interest in bedding you. You are only a pawn to my Kingdom."

With that he walked away.

Cross was stunned.
'Dammit...'

Even speaking to him would be a challenge.
