Lovers Pride

Cross

Killer's POV

The morning... morning was awful... everything hurt... my head... my nether regions... my body... but I still got up.

"Hey..." Nightmare greeted me with a soft voice, I knew he was worried about what happened last night, I still wouldn't say. He walked over.

"I have that tour to give today. I don't look like garbage do I?" I asked avoiding the conversation I knew Nightmare wanted to have.

"You look worse. How about you stay here with me today, they can get someone else to tour that newbie." Nightmare said as he sat beside me.

"Thanks but no... I volunteered." If events went down differently last night... I might have taken his offer...

"Fine... I'm making you breakfast." Nightmare sighed. He grabbed my hand hesitantly gave it a squeeze.

"Okay sounds like a plan." I hummed giving a light squeeze back.

"I'll reapply those bandages after you get out of the shower." Nightmare released my hand hand helped me to my feet.

I looked at him and Nightmare seemed to concerned now...

I should be happy someone loves me... but... I'm not... is something wrong with me? Well despite what I know to be true already.

I felt something leak from my eyes. And Nightmare jolted and wiped it away.

"Killer... what's bothering you?" Nightmare's voice pleaded to know the answer.

"Nothing Nighty..." I shook my head.

"Killer... that's not true... tell me." Nightmare picked up both of my hands and held them.

"I know you're upset, I want to fix it." Nightmare squeezed them.

"Nighty... you okay? You never showed this much concern for me." I tried to sidetrack him.

"Killer I am fine! I'm just worried for you!" Nightmare pulled me in and hugged me. "Tell me what's wrong I'll take care of it."

"I can't... I have work Nighty." I squirmed, he sighed and released.

"Fine..." Nightmare stood and walked to the kitchen.

I moved to the shower.

Nightmare wasn't pleased... and I'm pretty sure he would just be more upset if I told him. Right? I don't know...

I don't know what's wrong with me. I should be happy! But I'm not... Gahh!!this is just frustrating!!

Nightmare didn't say goodbye to me... so I must have upset him... damn I'm such a screw up!

I held my sweet coffee and walked up to my place of work. And there he waited.

He was tall... taller than me for sure, but not taller than Nightmare, Nightmare is a beanstalk! I stretched a smile on my face.

"Good morning! I'm Killer! I'll be showing you around!" I said as enthusiastically as possible.

I didn't notice until I was close enough, but he had two different colored eyes on two different eye types. I smiled slightly at that.

I noticed he didn't say much until I got closer.

"Cross, I'm Cross, nice to meet you Killer." He smiled at me.

"Alright shall we begin?" I asked and he gave a nod.

This was actually... a lot more... boring than I expected. Especially when everyone being gone for the day and tomorrow... it was the weekend anyway.
