Crossmare: Asylum

Chapter 1

(Cross’s POV)

We finally get to where they are taking me so I looked out the window to see a big building surrounded by a huge wall with barb wire on the top. ‘Where are we?’ I thought as they pulled up to the building and let me out of the car.
“Ok so you are gonna have to go inside the building and they should know who you are”
“A-alone?”
“Yes I am sorry but we can’t go with you any further”. I just nodded my head.
“Alright we hope to see you again”.  The cop said and with that I walked up to the building and went inside to see a small room that looks like a waiting room.  The person behind the desk saw me and smiled.
“Your Cross right?”. I nodded.
“Alright just take a seat and the person you will be sharing a room with will be here soon to show you around, ok?”. Again I nodded and then took a seat and looked around the room then messed around with my scarf while Chara sat on the ground next to me.

(Nightmare’s POV)

I was in my room just laying on my bed bored out of my mind when someone came into my room. I looked to see one of the people that work here.
“What do you want?”
“Y-You have a-a new r-roommate” A new roommate huh? Wonder what this person did to get here. I also wonder if they are going to annoy me like the last one.
“Fine, I guess you guys want me to show them around?”
“Y-yes”
“Fine” I got off of my bed and walked to the room where they were waiting for me. When I walked into the room I saw a skeleton dressed in all black and white, a golden heart locket, two different colored eyes the left one white and the right one is red, under the right eye is a red zig-zag scar. He looked like a fluffy Oreo and to be honest he didn’t look like he did anything to get here. He looked like a person who did nothing but got blamed for something and has to pay the consequence instead of the actual person who did the crime. Anyways not long after I walked into the room he looked up at me and got scared. The person behind the desk saw me and then looked at the person sitting in the chair.
“Nightmare, this is Cross, your new roommate”
“Hello Cross”.I said string right at him with my piercing gaze.
“H-hi”. His voice sounded like it is strained like he doesn’t really talk that much, or from screaming a lot. I walked a little closer to him and he shrank down into the chair a little.
“Well, guess I have to show you around”. I said, still keeping my gaze on him.
“O-ok”. With that he stood up and I realized he was a bit shorter than me but not that much. After he stood up I churned around and walked out the room and motioned for him to follow me which he did. With that I showed him around the place and where everything is and then showed him to the room we will be staying in. It was not pleasant to be hit with the smell of weed again as we entered the room and I sat down on the bottom bed.

(Front desk person’s POV)
I hope Cross will last in this place with Nightmare as his roommate. Hopefully he doesn’t do what he did to his last one. But I will just have to wait and see what happens.

(Cross’s POV)

After he showed me around the place we went to the room I would now be sharing with him. I wish I could say the room didn’t smell bad but I would be lying. As soon as we entered the room I gagged at the smell because it was really strong. I saw him sit on the bottom bed and look at me.
“W-why does it s-smell like this?”
“My last roommate thought it would be a good idea to have weed in here and it eventually stunk up the whole room and now nothing can get rid of the smell”
“O-oh, where is your old roommate?”
“He died”
“H-how?”
“Suicide”
“O-oh”
“So, how did you end up in a place like this if you don’t mind me asking”
“O-oh umm……….. I tried to committe suicide”
“So that’s why you are here”
“Y-yeah”
“Did you do anything else like kill anyone?”
“U-umm…………. I killed everyone I knew, except my brother”
“How did your brother die?”
“He died in an experiment my father did on him”
“An experiment?”
“Y-yes he experimented on me and m-my brother”
“What kind of experiments?”
“Illegal ones”
“Wow, just………..wow”. We both fell silent when I remembered about Chara.
“W-wait, Chara where are you?”
“Who’s Chara?”
“U-ummm, n-no one”
“-_-” “Really? No one? Then why did you say that?”
“No reason”. After I said that Chara appeared next to me, making me jump sideways a little bit.
“What was that for?”
“S-sorry i'm a little jumpy”. I looked back at Chara to see them glaring at Nightmare. They then noticed me looking at them and gave me a confused look.
In my head “He is apparently my roommate”
“Oh, that makes sense”. I looked over at Nightmare to see him looking at me with confusion all over his face.
“S-sorry I tend to talk to myself”
“I get it, I talk to myself too”. After that we both went quiet again while he sat there and I stood there awkwardly.
“Come, sit down”
“O-ok”. I walked over and sat on the bed.
“Which bed is yours?”
“I usually sleep on the top one”
“Ok”. After that we again went quiet so I decided to just get lost in a fantasy world.

(Nightmare’s POV)

Well, he is nothing like any roommate I have had so far. He is quiet, shy, and maybe mentally unstable. He looked like he was talking to someone and he was looking at the side of him he jumped sideways. Then again he did say he was experimented on by his father. After a while of both of us sitting there I looked at him and he looked like he was daydreaming. So while he wasn’t paying attention I took a better look at what he looked like now that he was closer to me than before. I realized he had quite a few scars on his face for what I could see. He might have more but because of all of his clothing I couldn’t tell. I then looked at his legs to see they also had lots of scars. Abuse I am guessing from the look of it because they did not look self-inflicted. I also realized he looks skinny for a skeleton. ‘How long has he been alone?’ From what I could tell he is a very innocent person that should be protected from any danger at all costs. It’s weird, I have never felt like this towards anyone before. Not even my own brother. I do know that I will try my best to protect him from any dangers while he is here. After a while my watch went off signaling it is time for dinner. I snapped my head up when I felt the bed shift and Cross jumped up when my watch went off.
“W-what was that for?”
“Oh it’s dinner time”
“Oh”
“Well we should get going then”
“Ok”. We both got up and left the room while we walked to the “Lunchroom”. I looked at him and it looked like he was very scared and tense. When I looked around I saw others looking at us and staring at him. So I glared at them and when they saw me glaring at them they looked away instantly and minded their own business. I smirked at their fear of me and looked back at Cross to see him looking at me.
“What is it?”
“Why does everyone look away and get scared when you glare at them?”
“Because everyone here fears me”
“Why?”
“Because I am a really mean and cruel person”
“I don’t think you are”
“Why is that?” I asked happy he didn’t think I was mean.
“W-well you are really nice to me”
“Yeah, well you are my roommate”
“Y-yeah”. After that we got into the “Lunchroom” and I went straight to the front of the line. I looked at him to see him confused. I motions for him to come up to me. After a little bit he did and stood next to me while we both got our dinner. We then got our drinks and went to the table I always sit at.
“Why did you go to the front of the line?”
“I always do and everyone is too scared to say otherwise”
“O-oh”. After that he took a bite of his food and his eyes lit up.
“This is good!”
“Eh, it’s alright I guess”
“You guess? This is the best thing I have had to eat in years!”
“Years?”
“Y-yeah everyone died years ago and I ran out of food in my house and couldn’t pay for anything because I had to pay for the house so I got food from dumpsters”. I felt bad for him. I mean eating food from dumpsters? No wonder he looks skinny. After he said that we both went quiet while we ate our food. After a while I looked at him to see he finished with both his food and his drink. He then looked at me and he did a closed eye smile. I felt my face heat up a little.
“So i’m guessing you liked it?”
“Yep!”
“Good, well we should head back to our room now”
“Ok”. We both got up and dumped our stuff in the dumpster and made our way to our room. When we got back I went up to my bed and laid down and I saw Cross go to his bed. We were both quiet for a while until I heard him humming to a song.
“What are you singing?”
“Hmm, oh, I’m humming to the song my way”
“Oh, that’s a pretty cool song”
“Yeah, I like it”. After he said that he went back to humming to the song again. Not long after listening to him I fell into a dreamless sleep.

(Cross’s POV)

After I finished the song I could hear light snoring so I knew that Nightmare was asleep. So I laid down on the bed and started to fall asleep. After a while I was still awake. It was hard to sleep because 1. I am in a new place that is full of crazy people and 2. I couldn’t stop thinking about Nightmare. I blushed at that part. Hey don’t get me wrong he is a nice person, and he is pretty cute. I blushed more when I thought about that. So I pushed all of my thoughts away and tried to fall asleep. It didn’t take me long this time to fall asleep. So a couple minutes later I fell into a sleep of memories about my past.

I know this stuff is cringe, but oh well. What can I do about it.

Anyways I am going to try updating every day for now.
