Crosskiller requested by @ExelsGAY
**
Between Cross and Killer, it always had been complicated. First, they both fell in love with Nightmare... and that ended bad. So Killer stopped but not Cross. The monochromatic didn't question it first, but Killer completely stop to speak with him. He didn't know why Killer stopped, but Cross disliked this fact.
He disliked the fact that Killer wasn't caring anymore about anything.
At first, he thought he was depressed about Nightmare's rejection, but he had no signs of it, and continue to play and kill with Dust, Horror and Error. And speaks to Nightmare only if it's necessary.
One day, he heard Dust and Killer talked about it.
"so...what made you change your mind?" asked Dust as he drank a bit of his coffee.
"'m'not suicidal... I knew he couldn't love us, we're just a bunch of lost causes."
"and why stopping talk with Cross?"
Killer just raised his shoulders. He finished his hot chocolate before leaving. Cross decided to move and cross killer's way. But he didn't look at him and go away. It's a confused Cross who enters the kitchen.
"ignored again?" asks Dust.
"yeah... I still don't know why..."
"you'll look for it later. I have a mission for you and Dust." Says Nightmare as he enters.
**
Nightmare is reading on the couch, Killer is playing, and Horror is munching on something when they heard a portal sound and a loud crash. They all jump to see Dust and Cross on the floor. They are bleeding and have several wounds. Dust tries to sit but Cross isn't conscious and so, blocks Dust on the floor.
Rapidly, the three helps them and bring them in their respective rooms. They all begin to heal Dust and Cross. As Nightmare heals Dust, he questioned him about what happened. And the answer clearly didn't please him.
He then comes to Cross's room to see Killer using his healing magic as Horror is bandaging him.
"what happened?" asks Killer.
"Ink arrived faster than planned. Cross stayed to fought him so Dust would flee but he didn't want, so they booth ended up fought against him."
"... Cross is really badly injured. We have to wait him to wake up. So, he can heal himself." Says Horror.
"sure. Killer, you stay with Cross. I'll stay with Dust, Horror, you're doing food for Dust and Cross. With chocolate and cranberries juice to fight their anemia."
They both nod and Killer sits in a chair beside the bed as the two others leave the room. He hears Nightmare enters Dust's room and soon, he doesn't hear Horror's footsteps. And he waits...
But... more time pass, more he is asking himself... what he's gonna say? He ignored Cross for months without giving anyone a reason.
He knew why he ignored Cross. Cross loves Nightmare. And he loves Cross. He pretended to love Nightmare because his rivalry with Cross made him exist to the monochrome's eyes. But Cross didn't really notice anything... and so he stops all the comedy.
Without noticing it, hours passed.
Cross wakes to see Killer deeps in his thoughts beside him. The fighter sits and that 'wakes' Killer who stands up rapidly to come to the bed.
"Cross?! How're you feeling? Something hurt?"
Cross couldn't answer at all those questions. All he notices is Worry coming from the assassin. And he's very panicked. Cross puts his hands on Killer's shoulders to make him stop moving first.
"calm down Killer, I'm okay!"
"no! you're clearly not!"
"hey! look at me! Look at me!" he says taking Killer's head in his hands. "look, I'm okay.
Killer finishes to look at Cross, who's smiling sweetly at him. The black teared skeleton finished to cry in front of the monochromatic. No Cross wasn't okay, they both know it. But he didn't want Killer to worry. Thought now he wasn't avoiding him.
Cross comforts Killer, he had taken him against him and laid him beside him. He's stroking Killer's head as this one is trying to calm down. When Killer stopped hiccupping, Cross sits with him.
"I don't understand..." he murmurs.
Killer looks to him with an interrogative look. The monochrome sighs.
"you avoided me for months, and now that I'm badly injured, you're worried as fuck to the point of crying..."
"I'm sorryyyy..." he says as tears again roll down.
Cross wipes the tears saying sorry, he didn't want to make Killer cry again. The smaller keep a strong grip on Cross's t-shirt.
"I couldn't... huh... I- "Killer is looking for his words before blushing. "I was mad at you..."
"why? Nightmare rejected both of us."
"but I don't love Nightmare and I never did..." he says, whining and blushing.
"wh-"
Cross never finishes his sentence, his words being muffled by Killer's teeth on his. Killer had grabbed Cross's cheeks before kissing him with all his love. Cross was chocked, but he was melting in. he was about to answer the kiss back, but Killer pulls out and hide his head in Cross's torso.
"you wouldn't notice me; you were too over Nightmare..."
Cross puzzles everything. Now he understands. Cross didn't really cared about the other guys and just ran behind Nightmare. He chatted sometimes with them, but quickly stops because of Dust, Horror and Error's mockeries.... And never noticed Killer was acting like a real friend to him. But he quickly stopped chatting with everyone, Killer included.
And after, killer claimed loving Nightmare. Cross saw red at this new. But with this, he talked with him, they played, bet, fought sometimes... He never noticed Killer had his eyes only on him and not Nightmare.
"I'm sorry... I never noticed that..."
"I know... it's okay..."
"it's not."
He keeps Killer against him and kiss his cheek.
"you think you still can take me as a lover?"
Killer stares at him with wide eye sockets. Before his tears fall down and a smile appears.
"yes !"
