Cross PoV

Cross sat in the corner of the living room, shaking. He was cold, like normal, but that wasn't what made him shake, it was the thunder. Cross HATED thunder, it reminded him of the sound of Gaster Blasters going off, a sound that he had heard to much of.
*CRASH*
Cross jumped as thunder sounded in the distance. He closed his eyes(?) tight and pulled his legs closer to him. Trying not to hyperventilate was hard, but he managed as more thunder sounded in the distance. The living room was small and rectangular, a bookshelf sat next to a fireplace that wasn't currently lit, two door were placed on the shorter ends of the room, and a rugged couch was placed over a carpet in the center. The room was mostly grey, the only colors being the books on the shelves and the couch, which was a diluted green. This was the living room of the Bad Sanses mansion, and normally it would have at least one other person in it but today most of the team was out on camping trip, that Cross and Nightmare weren't invited to. At times like these Cross would seek out Killer and he would be comforted by him but since he and Nightmare were the only ones home he stayed huddled in the cold living room, shaking from the cold even though he was a skeleton.

Nightmare's PoV

I sensed large amounts of negatively coming from the living room, my only guess on who could be giving it off was Cross, since everyone else was gone on a trip we were very rudely excluded from. I was sitting in my bedroom, it was a large room, painted completely black with a large bed placed on one side while the other was covered with a large window that was blocked by blackout curtains. I sat up from where I was sitting and went to my closet. I knew Cross would be cold so I grabbed one of my hoodies, while I knew it would be big on Cross I figured he wouldn't mind. I started my trek through the mansion following the negativity that Cross gave off every time the thunder shook the house, I wondered if Cross was afraid of the noise, and as I turned to enter the living room my question was answered.

Cross PoV (again)

I was still huddled in the living room corner when I started to cry, and I pulled up my legs even closer to me, holding them in place by hugging them with my arms. I pushed my head onto my knees as I violently shook and sobbed, wishing that the fear that had gripped me would go away as quickly as it came. "Cross?" I heard someone say my name and looked up a tiny bit, my eyes widening as I saw Nightmare standing at the doorway, holding a dark hoodie on his arms. I don't know why I was so startled to see him, after all it was just us in the house, but I quickly turned my head back to my knees, briefly feeling embarrassed before another wave of fear crashed down on me. "Good lord, Cross, look at you, you're shaking!" Nightmare exclaimed before rushing towards me. God, this was embarrassing. "Why are you in the corner? That's not a good place to be." Nightmare scooped me up in his arms and brought me to the couch, where he preceded to lay me down on it and quickly sat down next to me. He pulled the hoodie onto me, it smelled faintly of apples and cinnamon, I breathed in the scent, it being comforting. I was still cold but the hoodie helped, Nightmare soon noticed that I was still shaking and he lifted me up again, this time placing me on his lap. I was still sobbing as he did this, though I had started to calm down more. I pushed my face into his chest, I knew he probably felt awkward about this but I didn't care, he was warm and I was cold. Nightmare reached his arms around me, pulling me closer than we already were. He began stroking my back gently, helping me calm down. We stayed this way until I had stopped crying. The storm was still going on outside but Nightmare's chest muffled the crashing of thunder on the distance. I was warm and safe. Soon I began to fall asleep, Nightmare noticed and stood up, carrying me in a bridal fashion, and brought me to his room were he lay me down and tucked me in under the large comforter, successfully keeping me warm. Nightmare began to leave but I grabbed one of his tentacles and pulled him back. "I don't want to be left alone..." I sniffled, trying to keep Nightmare close to me. "I uh... Okay." He said with an almost worried tone of voice, for a second I thought I saw a cyan dusting cover his cheeks, but it disappeared as fast as it came, if it was even there in the first place. "Here, I'll just do this..." He whispered as he climbed into the bed next to me. I rolled over to face him and quickly planted a kiss on his cheek then snuggled up against his chest, knowing full well he was blushing like crazy. After a few seconds he overcame the shock of being kissed and used his tentacles to hold me against him, he then rested his chin on the top of my head and we both fell into a restful sleep.

(936 words! So uh, what do you think? I'm not very good at writing things so I want to see if you guys like it, if you do I might write some more. I'm also up for requests so if you want certain characters or a ship just ask and I might do it!)
