Cross has been staying with the gang for 5 months now, and they got along well. Cross became best friends with all of them, even Error even if he sometimes doesn't show it.

Cross was able to learn to find his way in the mansion and now he can get to places alone. Cross was currently in the kitchen eating a chocolate bar, Croooossssss gimme some chocolate toooooooo Chara wined, Cross can feel Chara pout in his mind. 'Ok ok fine you can have my chocolate but you have to throw the wrapper after PROPERLY, ok?' Cross felt Chara smile as he took control of Cross body.

Chara began to mercilessly eat the chocolate bar then walked perfectly to the trash can and throwing it.

"Cross....?" Chara turned around quickly to be met with shocked Killer.
Killer noticed both of Cross' eye lights we're red, Cross eyes we're usually white but it also looked foggy. Chara didn't know what to do so just stood there frozen staring directly at Killer.
Welp see ya Chara said, before giving Cross control. Cross stumbled a bit and held the counter for support, "Cross?! Shit are good?" Cross looked up at where he heard the voice.

"Oh Killer! Is that you?"

"Cross are you actually blind cause just a second ago you we're looking directly at me" Killer said getting suspicious of Cross.

Cross sweat started to drop not because of Killer's question, but because they might find out about Chara.

Cross took a deep breathe then spoke. "Well....I've been blind ever since I was young...so yeah Killer I'm pretty sure I'm blind" Cross said, slowly walking forward using the kitchen counter as a guide. Killer then blocked Cross' path so he couldn't escape.

"Cmon Cross your my pal I won't get angry if you tell me" Killer said with a soft expression. Cross looked down before looking at what he assumed as Killers face.

"Promise?" Cross asked.

"Promise" Killer stated firmly, while giving a little wink. And of course Cross didn't react.

"If I'm going to tell you it's best to tell the others as well" Cross stated, Killer gave a quite 'ok' then placed Cross on top of the kitchen counter, sitting on the counter Cross listened as Killer made his way to the other counter that was beside the wall.

You see Nightmare installed a red button in every room just for Cross in case something happened to him or if Cross needs help. If you press the button there will be a horn like sound coming from the place the button was pressed at.

Killer found the button and pressed it.
After a couple of minutes the others came rushing into the kitchen, They looked at Cross then looked at Killer.

Nightmare was the first to speak. "What happened?" Nightmare asked, going to Cross and to see if he was fine. Nightmare actually really cares about his group, he just has he's own way of showing it. "Cross has something to tell us " Killer responded. Everyone's attention turned to Cross.

Cross' sweat dropped, as he began to play with his fingers nervously.

"Well you see.... My brother died when we we're still young....and now he basically possessed my soul....and now my soul is half....determination...and my brother isn't blind so....he sometimes guide me..." Cross looked down, getting ready for them to get angry.

It was silent, to silent.

Cross began to get really nervous he could cry. But the silence was broken by a laugh, Not an evil one it was an amused laugh.

Cross was confused, who was laughing then everyone started laughing except for Cross.

Nightmare soon noticed Cross' confusion and put a hand on his shoulder making Cross tense then relax feeling the goopy texture.

"Don't worry Cross where not mad, actually you're not the only one. Dust has his dead brother's ghost following him around too, so don't worry" Nightmare said, giving Cross reassuring squeeze on the shoulder.

Cross sighed in relief, That they didn't get mad him.

Cross then started to explain, That if Chara will take control Cross eye lights will turn red. He told them he can sometimes be dangerous but is a good person, After they we're done talking Cross decided to take a walk around the mansion alone.

Cross was walking and thinking as he walked through the empty hall, he's hand on the wall as a guide.

Cross screamed as he heard glass shattering in front of him. And someone pinning him to the ground, a skeleton hand on his mouth prevented him from calling for help.

"Hey don't worry I won't hurt you um maybe" the golden skeleton said, Cross eye light darted to everywhere side to side, up and down, he was afraid he doesn't know who is this person and why he was pinned to the floor.

The golden skeleton noticed the smaller one not looking directly at him and his eye lights darted everywhere.

"Hey....are you ok?..Why won't you look at m-"

"DREAM!!!!"

A voice interrupted the yellow skeletons sentence.

Nightmare shot a tentacle at Dream, He dodged and was now carrying Cross bridal-style. Nightmare growled, he then noticed Cross trembling violently.

"Dream! Put Cross down now!!"

"Why?! Can't you see his scared! I'm going to help"

"Dream!he's scared of you!" Nightmare yelled back.

"Why would he be scared of me and not you, I mean you look at you!" Dream said pouting.

"Well He can't Dream! He's blind!"

Dream eye sockets widen and he looked at Cross, "Oh my stars! I'm really sorry!" Dream said as he put Cross down, as Cross shaked violently.

Cross slowly backed away, Nightmare reached out a tentacle and made him wrap around Cross' waist. Cross flinched, but relaxed. Nightmare pulled Cross into a hug once he's tentacle released him.

Cross was shaking violently, gripping Nightmare's hoodie as if he's about to disappear. Nightmare glared at Dream, "Dream you know you could've just used the door, right?"
Nightmare said, Dream looked away pouting. "The door was lock" Dream said, Nightmare growled.

Nightmare sighed, Cross soon relaxed and let go of Nightmare. Nightmare didn't want to let go though but did anyway.

Nightmare looked at Dream then grabbed Cross hand and made him touch Dreams face and golden circlet. "Dream this is Cross, Cross this is Dream my brother" Nightmare growled when he said brother.

"Hi Cross, I'm really sorry for scaring you" Dream said. Cross looked at where the voice came from and gave a small nervous smile. "I-It's ok..." Cross responded.

After a while of chatting Nightmare brought Cross back to his room and made his way back to Dream to have an important talk with him.

Cross was in his room, on his bed under the blankets. He was thinking if there could have been another way to save Chara, to save his brother. There was nothing you could have done Cross its fine Chara said. 'But still even if we didn't get along, I miss you' Cross thought.

I miss you too, Criss Cross

Cross closed his eye sockets as he felt a tear fall down as he let sleep take over him.
