Impure Saint (MareNight)

14

The movie and dinner ended quickly. Night was still happy and energetic, having finally been aquatinted with Epic. Mare regretted it painfully.

"Repeat after me! Baka!" Epic grinned brightly, hands flexing in the same way as a popular anime character.

"Baka..!" Night attempted to match his intensity only to fall short.

"Baka!" Epic repeated with a sharp grin.

Before Night could try again, Mare butted in. "Baka... damare."

Night tilted his head but Epic burst into giggles. Cross rolled his eyes at his partner's giggling fit, so enough Night joined in on the giggling burst. Mare shook his head at the two.

"You two are children."

Epic chuckled, "What's the matter your highness? Being 5000 years old taking a toll on you finally?" He teased with a smirk.

Mare glared at him sharply only to pause when he noticed the look on Night's face. Mouth parted slightly to show off the tiny fangs and purple, star-covered tongue; his purple eyelights in the shape of stars, glittering to show the innocence and curiosity despite having been tainted. Needless to say, Mare felt his soul rush, making him feel almost nauseous, he didn't understand...

"You're really 5000 years old?!" Night questioned excitedly.

Mare was taken aback, not expecting such a positive response for his age... "Indeed I am."

The sparkle in Night's eyes grew and he let out a cheerful giggle. "Dream said there were a few people around our age! Was he talking about you?"

Mare nodded slightly, "I can't think of who else he could be talking..." Mare was cut off suddenly when he felt something placed on his head. He paused, reaching up to feel it only to realize it was Night's crown. He looked to Night who was still smiling innocently, blushing softly. "Why?"

"Well..." Night became almost shy, twiddling with his fingers, "I thought it'd look good on you rather than me and I was right!"

Mare huffed, taking the crown off his head before placing it on Night's. "I'd have to argue with that puppy."

Epic perked, "Damn Nightmare, I didn't take you as that type..."

Mare cast him a sharp glance, "I have no idea what you mean."

Night gave the two a closed-eyed smile before giggling softly, "You two are funny." Night's sentence was nearly cut off as a yawn attempted to escape his mouth.

Mare paused, "Are you ready for bed?"

Night only nodded slightly, hardly seeming tired physically but it was clear by the semi-slow movements Night made. That closed-eyed smile must've jump started his sleepiness.

Mare hummed as he felt Night grab hold of his arm, leading him up to his room with lazy steps. Night leaned against him slightly as the finally made it to Mare's room.

The agreement they made earlier about sharing a bed finally coming into affect. Mare hummed slight and grabbed the both some clothes, handing Night a pair of pajama shorts that where a bit to big and a large, baggy shirt. The two turned away from each other to change.

The clothes Mare had given Night were obviously to large. The pajama shorts barely clinging to Night's hips, but the shirt covered him, reaching all the way down to his upper thigh. The only problem with the shirt is that the collar slipped pasted his shoulder but he still felt very comfy in these clothes.

Mare on the other hand was well fit, his clothes fitted perfectly, beside the slight tightness of the shorts. He was to lazily to fix it though, not really minded but made a mental not to fix it when he woke up.

Mare was the first to get into bed, pulling back the covers for Night who slipped in soon after. Mare finally smiled before rolling onto his side, turning on the radio the sat on the bedside table. The soft sweet sound and gentle music made the taller skeleton smile as he rolled back to face Night.

Night looked up at him before suddenly snuggling himself into Mare. The goop covered skeleton jumped at the contact, not expecting Night's grip on him to be so strong.

Mare sighed, frowning slightly as his hand raised to hold Night's head to him, his other hand gently pressing against Night's back. Night stayed quiet and only nuzzled against.

Mare rubbed Night's head gently, his hand lifting to trace small circles against Night's shoulder blades. Night made no noise, instead he inhaled and exhaled deeply.

Night looked up at him and smiled, "Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for?"

Night let out a whine in disbelief that Mare didn't know. "For everything! You've protected me, fed me, entertained me... you've even bathed me and allowed me to sleep with you! This the most kindness anyone has ever shown me." The sincerity in Night's voice made Mare nauseous again, it made him almost... nervous? What did he have to be nervous about?

"You think too highly of me, it's a bit much don't you think?"

Night shook his head with a gentle smile, "It's only common for a prince to think so highly of a king, don't you think?"

Mare chuckled softly, "Oh puppy, you're such a saint."

((So its a bit shorter than other chapters, I apologize for that. I hope you enjoyed the happy fluff.
Now enjoy the meme I've made that totally doesn't have anything to do with the future of this fic
