Light and Dark

One More Night

Cross smiled as Nightmare felt her stomach, a look of wonder on his face

"He's like a little devil," She said as he kicked again.

"Like a little incubus?" Nightmare asked, laying his head on her chest.

"Like a little incubux?"

"No, incubus."

"Oh," She smiled. "I like incubux better."

"Is that his name then?" Nightmare asked.

"Huh?"

"Incubux. Is that his name now?" Cross considered.

"Yeah, you know what, that's a nice name for him." She felt her stomach. "Incubux." Nightmare smiled.

"So you agree it's gonna be a boy?"

"It still might be a girl!"

"Oh? And what are we gonna call her?" Cross bit her lip. Nightmare smirked and was about to say something but Cross said.

"Moonlight."

"What?"

"Moonlight. It's a nice name." Nightmare shrugged.

"Alright." Cross's face turned red.

"What?! You don't agree?!" Nightmare put his hands up in surrender.

"No! No! It's a great name!"

"Liar." Cross rose to leave. Nightmare grabbed her arm.

"Nooooooooooooo! Don't go!" Cross chuckled.

"You're the king of the Dark Realm! What happened to you?" Nightmare dragged her back onto the bed, smiling down at her.

"I fell in love."

"Dreamy? What's wrong?" Killer asked. They were laying in his bed and she was hiding her face in his chest, her breathing irregular and stressed.

"Nothing."

"Bullshit." Dream laughed.

"Language." Killer smiled and hugged her tighter.

"What's wrong Dreamy?" Dream's smile dropped; she avoided his gaze.

"I have to go back."

"What?"

"I have to go back to my kingdom." Killer brought her face up to his.

"I know." Dream's mouth dropped open slightly in indignation and she frowned.

"Are you really ok with that?!" Killer grinned.

"Remember the last time you asked me that?" Dream smiled weakly.

"Yeah...You're not ok with that..." Killer nodded.

"I'm not. But I know that you have a duty to your people, like Night has a duty to his and I have a duty to Night."

"But Nightmare gets to be in love with Cross!" Dream cried. Killer kissed her on the head.

"I know. But circumstances are different for those two."

"So Cross and Nightmare get to have a kid and probably get married and we have to stay separate?!"

"Maybe you'll find someone else-"

"No! I want you!" Killer was taken aback.

"...Dream..." Dream pulled him down and kissed him.

"...I want you." Silence dragged out between them.

"Dreamy... you have to go," Killer said. Dream nodded.
