They never got along. It was made pretty clear.
There relationship worsened after that day in the office.
Cross didnt know what to do other then forget about it.
Sometimes he wouldn't see Nightmare coming home anymore.
Honestly that was probably for the best.
And when he did, he'd come home from the bar acter spending time with his friends or just end up coming back when Cross was asleep.
Honestly, he didnt know what Nightmare did half the time.
Cross sighed as he drank his own alcohol at home.
He wished that five years would soon pass.
He doubted their parents knew what was happening.
And if they did then they dont seem to react.
He took another sip of his drink. How many cups had he drank?
Maybe three or four?
He didnt care. He kept drinking.
He didnt realize the time however and suddenly he jolted as the front door swung open.
He set his drink down to check and left the kitchen, he went to the hallway and noticed Nightmare struggling to stand as he used the wall as support.
This worried Cross, he walked up to Nightmare.
"Hey- are you okay?"
Nightmare hummed, he looked at Cross for a moment before leaning against him, using him as support.
Cross was dumbfounded, having to quickly steady both himself and Nightmare.
That's when a familiar scent hit his nose.
Alcohol.
Nightmare was drunk.
Cross sighed. He noticed the door was opened so he managed to close it with own hand and lock it.
Nightmare didnt seem like he'd move anytime soon.
He was content where he was.
Cross huffed. He was buzzed himself so this just annoyed him.
"Alright let's get you to bed."
He said and began leading Nightmare to his bedroom.
"I..dont want to.."
Nightmare mumbled as they TRIED to walk up the stairs.
"I dont care."
They ever so painfully continued walking up the stairs, once they finally made it up, Cross kept Nightmare steady as he opened the door to Nightmares room and walked in.
He'd never been in Nightmares room before, it was neat, everything looked clean.
He sat Nightmare on the bed.
"Here, either fall asleep or just stay here until morning."
Nightmare blinked, Cross was planning on leaving but Nightmare held his arm.
"Dont go.."
Cross scoffed.
"I'm not staying here with you."
Nightmare didnt care as he used a tendril to bring Cross closer.
"Hey-what are you-"
Nightmare got up and buried his face in the crook of Cross's neck.
Cross was concerned.
Although a tiny blush was shown on his face.
"Nightmare!"
"Hmm."
Nightmare was out of it.
"You smell nice C.."
Cross blinked.
'I doubt it, im sure we both reek of alcohol.'
He thought.
"You always smell nice..like coffee in the morning.."
Nightmare mumbled.
"I like that smell..."
Cross rolled his eyelights.
"You have a funny way of showing it, now get in bed."
Nightmare blinked, he pulled alway slightly to gaze upon the smaller.
