Crossmare: Asylum

Chapter 7

(Nightmare's POV)

I woke up the next morning to my watch going off. I noticed that Cross was not with me and I started to panic. After a couple of minutes of waiting in the room we both shared. I was about to leave when the door opened to show Cross standing there with a confused face.
"Are you ok Nightmare?"
"Umm, yeah, yeah I am fine"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah". He looked at me with an unsure face but shrugged anyways. I was wondering where he was.
"Where were you?"
"Oh, I got bored so I went for a little walk around to mesmerize the place, guessing I am going to be here for a while, and then I ran into someone and he joined me for a while before leaving"
"Who was this person that joined you?"
"His name is Error". My world just froze when he said Error's name. Why would Error walk with him, or even be nice to him for that matter. Based on what I know about Error he is not a nice person and is quite rude to people. So why be nice to Cross of all people? Don't get me wrong I am happy he wasn't rude to Cross, but it still confused me.
"Did he say why he walked with you?"
"He said he was bored and just wanted to walk with me. He was really nice too!!"
"Oh? How so?"
"He showed me all of the places, told me a bit about his past and why he is here, joked with me, complimented me, stuff like that". What is Error planning?
"So can I come in or am I gonna have to stay out here?". Cross said which made me come back to reality. I then realized that I was still standing in front of the door.
"Oh, right, sorry about that". I said moving out of the way letting Cross in.
"It's all right Nightmare!". He said walking into the room. After he walked in I closed the door while he sat down on his bed. I joined him pulling him into my lap. He squeaked at first but then he got comfortable and just leaned into me. For the next hour we just sat like that. No talking, no nothing, just sitting there. It was nice and calming being like that. I even started to forget what Cross said about Error joining him on his little exploration around the asylum, and how he acted towards him. I was just enjoying the moment for now instead of stressing myself out about Error. Which reminds me I am going to have to have a little.............chat with him later. When me and Cross are not comfortable like we are right now.

(Cross's POV)

Once I sat down on my bed Nightmare closed the door and walked over sitting next to me and putting me on his lap. I blushed a little bit and squeaked when he did that, but I got myself comfortable and leaned onto his chest. I closed my eyes just relaxing and enjoying this peace and quiet time with Nightmare. It has been a while since we were both quiet like this around each other. Though this time it was not an uncomfortable quiet. Just the sounds of our breathing and people walking around down the halls near our shared room. I liked it. I opened up my eyes a bit to look at Nightmare and I saw that he looked calm and peaceful. It was nice to see him not so stressed and anxious like he almost always is when we are not in our room. While I was relaxing I got that similar smell of weed from when I first got here. Though it doesn't smell as bad as before. I just got used to the smell after a while. I cleared my mind of the thought and just focused on what was happening right now. I looked back at Nightmare to see him looking at me with a loving look in his eye.
"Do you need something Nightmare?"
"Hmmm, not at the moment"
"Why are you looking at me then?"
"Because you are too cute to not look at"
"I am not cute"
"Handsome then"
"Why are you saying compliments to me?"
"Because I love you". He said, smirking. I squeaked and covered my purple face in my scarf. I heard him chuckle after I did that and then I feel him wrap his arms around my waist making me blush more. After a couple of minutes I lifted my face out of my scarf and turned my head to look at Nightmare only to see he was still looking at me with the same look in his eyes. I sighed internally but then shifted on his lap so that I was facing him while he still had his arms wrapped around me. He looked confused at first but then smirked and didn't waste a second more and smashed our lips together. It confused me at first because usually he is more soft and careful when kissing me but I shook the thoughts away and kissed back. After a couple of seconds I felt something wet and slimy brush against my teeth. I was trying to figure it out but then realized it was Nightmare's tongue that brushed my teeth. He did it again asking for an entrance and I obliged opening my mouth and he shoved his tongue in my mouth. I quietly moaned while he explored my mouth blushing more. I squeezed my eyes closed and put my arms around his neck pushed up against him a bit more while he wrapped his arms around my waist tighter, also pulling me closer to him. After a couple of minutes we broke away from each other to breathe, a string of saliva connecting us. I whipped my mouth off as Nightmare did the same. I looked at him with complete love in my eyes while he did the same.
"I love you Nightmare"
"I love you too". He said and I sighed happily and leaned into his chest. I froze when he laid down against the bed, and then I made myself comfortable before closing my eyes and dozing off to sleep.

(Nightmare's POV)

I smiled at Cross when I saw he was asleep. I sighed and looked up at the bed I usually sleep on, just relaxing and still catching my breath from the kiss a couple of minutes ago. I smiled to myself knowing Cross loves me and not Error or Dream. Of course he loves his brothers though, and I would never dream of doing anything to change that because based on how Cross acted with them before I can tell it would be devastating if something were to get between their relationship. Besides I would never chance him turning out like me. He is perfect just the way he is without the hatred in him. It actually makes him more perfect being so nice. I then remembered that he has killed before. It always shocks me when I remember these things, like he is here because he is suicidal. It scares me knowing that he is and that his depression might get so bad that he leaves me, but I hope he wouldn't do that because he would make his brothers feel horrible. I didn't realize until I felt something wet rolling down my face that I was crying. I groaned in annoyance, accidentally groaning too loudly that it woke up Cross. He looked confused at first but then he looked at me and his eyes widened.
"A-are you ok Nightmare?!?!"
"Yeah, why?"
"You're crying!"
"Oh, umm, that.............. I was just thinking"
"About what?"
"Just something I hate to even have in my mind"
"What is it about?"
"A-about how your depression might get so b-bad that you will k-k-kill yourself and leave me". I said now crying harder than before. I looked at Cross to see he had a couple of tears going down his face. He looked away from my eyes and just looked down. I wiped my face off and pulled Cross into a hug with he hugged back the best that he could. I just continued to cry while holding him close to me.
"I-I would neve leave you Nightmare". I looked up at him, relief washing over me when I saw he was completely serious, no hint of lying or anything but seriousness in his voice. I smiled and kissed his forehead softly. He purred when I started to rub his head. It was so cute hearing him purr like a cat. He fell asleep not long later after I started rubbing his head when he suddenly jumped up a bit and landed back on my chest. He gave me an apologetic face before glaring at something next to him. I looked at him confused.

(Cross's POV)

I was close to falling asleep when I heard an all so familiar voice I have not heard in awhile.
"Hey Cross". I jumped when Chara spoke landing back on Nightmare with a soft thud. I gave Nightmare an apologetic look and glared at Chara. I could feel Nightmare looking at me so after a couple of seconds I looked at Nightmare to see him looking at me confused. I then remembered that he doesn't know about Chara.
"What are you glaring at?"
"N-nothing". I said looking down.
"Cross look at me". He said sternly so I slowly lifted my gaze and looked at him.
"What were you glaring at?". I sighed.
"Remember when I said my father combined my soul with a human?"
"Oh right............. So does that mean they are here right now?"
"Yeah they are". I said looking over at Chara who gave me a small smile. I just blinked at him once before looking back at Nightmare.
"What is their name if you don't mind me asking?"
"Oh right, their name is Chara, and they are my 'twin brother' "
"Why do you say twin brother?"
"Because he looks like me just as a human and instead of a lightning like scar like mine they have a small scar going across their face"
"Hmm, that does sound like a twin, so does that mean you wear the same clothing as each other?"
"Yeah, basically, theirs is similar to mine just not all of the clothing, but almost the exact same"
"That would be fun to see a human like version of you"
"It would because they also act like me, but more mean"
"Wait.....................................what?????"
"Lol his face!! HAHAHAHAHA"
"Shut up Chara!"
"Oops sorry, but your friend here can't even hear me"
"Whatever"
"What did he say?"
"Oh he was talking about you expression when I told you he act like me but more mean"
"So that was the emotion I was feeling, it was coming from him"
"How did he sense my emotion?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
"Chara is wondering how you sensed his emotions"
"Well, I am the guardian of negativity. It is just normal for me to feel emotions even is they are positive"
"You said the guardian of negativity"
"Yeah? So?"
"Does positivity affect you?"
"Well, yeah............................ It actually hurts me"
"Oh my gosh, does that mean I am hurting you?!?!?!?!"
"W-what? No,no,no, you are not hurting me, don't worry it would be easy to see if I was hurting"
"Oh thank god"
"Otherwise if you did then I would not love you". My face fell when he said that which he seemed to notice and hugged me close to him. I smiled and snuggled my face into his chest.
"You guys are still only friends..............right?"
"I don't know Chara"
"What did he ask?"
"If we are still friends"
"And you aren't sure if we are friends after everything?"
"Well do you want to be more than friends?"
"Yes, of course"
"Ok then, if you want to be more than friends, I am willing"
"Well then, we are more than friends"
"What have I missed since I have been gone?"
"A lot"
"Like what?"
'Well, we have made out a couple of times, and earlier said we love each other, and are basically together 24/7'
"Wow, that is a lot of stuff, especially for just being fri-............................YOU WERE ONLY FRIENDS WHEN ALL OF THAT HAPPENED?!?!?!?!?!"
"OW, CHARA STOP YELLING"
"Oh sorry"
"It's fine". I looked at Nightmare to see two tentacles covering his ears.
"Sorry Nightmare"
"It's fine, just warn me next time ok?"
"Yeah". I looked back at Chara to see him giving me a sheepish smile.
"And warn me too next time you are gonna yell because now my non-existent ears hurt, and yes all of that happened when we were still only friends".

(Nightmare's POV)

I am beyond confused right now. One main reason is that I can not hear this Chara person so I have no idea what he and Cross are talking about. The only way for me to know is by hearing what Cross is saying to him. I regret saying this, but I think Cross has just lost his sanity though. I don't completely believe there is a ghost child with hum named Chara. I think it is just his conscience and he thinks it is his twin brother. I feel bad for thinking that, but then again it actually could be his brother, but I am going to need proof to show me it is actually him.
"Hey, Cross?"
"Yeah Nightmare?"
"Is there a way for me to meet Chara?"
"Umm, yeah, there is actually"
"How"
"They have to take control of me"
"Can you let them just for a little because I want to meet them"
"Alright, I will, but just know you can not interfere with anything that happens. Even if I scream in pain"
"....."
"And when he has full control I will disappear and become a ghost in his place while he will take my place and you will see him instead of me, ok?"
"Yeah, ok". I am super confused now. When I snapped out of my thoughts I saw Cross hunched over clutching his head in pain. I was about to help him when I remembered what he said about not helping him. 'I will, but just know you can not interfere with anything that happens. Even if I scream in pain'. I feel bad I made him have to go through this pain. So I just stood there trying so hard not to run up and just hold him to me.

~Time Skip~

After a couple of minutes it stopped and I looked up to widen my eye to no longer see Cross but a kinda smaller human version of him. The human had white messy hair. Exact same eyes as Cross with the scar he told me about on his red eye. He also had the same heart locket as Cross. I also now see what he means by similar clothing. I looked back at him to see him look at me.
"So, you are Nightmare"
"And you are Chara I presume"
"Yep"
"Hmm, you are, smaller than I imagined, and a higher pitched voice"
"I do not have a high pitched voice!"
"To me you do, I would even say Cross has a deeper voice than you"
"Well that is true, he does, but I do not have a high pitched voice"
"Whatever you say"
"Hold on a second"
"Ok"
"Cross, no". What did Cross say I wonder?
"No I won't get into a fight with him"
"Wait why not?"
"Because if you hurt me, you hurt Cross"
"How does that work"
"Our soul, it is connected to each other, so if one gets hurt the other gets hurt"
"Oh, yeah we are not fighting"
"Good, oh and before I leave, if you ever hurt Cross I will take control of him and murder you with my own hands"
"Wouldn't even dream of hurting him"
"Good, now I better let Cross have control again because he does not like the feeling of being a ghost". And faster than he came Cross was back
"Oh yeah, well you try being in my shoes where you are alive the whole time and turn into a ghost. You won't like the feeling of hovering above the ground, and being able to go through walls!!!!!"
"Ummm"
"Oh, I am alive again!!!!"
"Do you really not like being a ghost that bad?"
"Yes, because you can't feel any part of you and you can't touch anything"
"Sounds like fun". I said with complete sarcasm.
"Anyways, how was it meeting Chara?"
"Interesting"
"Told you he was just the meaner version of me"
"You mean, ruder, smaller, and higher voiced version of you?"
"Oh yeah, that"
"I looked at the time, We should start heading to dinner now"
"Ok". We both then went out of our room and headed to the 'lunch room' to have dinner.

~Time Skip~

After we had dinner we went back to our room and Cross went right to bed. I guess giving Chara control of his body made him tired. I guess I should also head to bed because I am feeling quite tired myself. So I just went up to my bed and laid down and fell asleep almost instantly.

Ok so I have already started on the begining of Chapter 8. It might take about a week or more to finish depending on how lazy I am and how fast I get my school work done. Anyways I will try to get it done as fast as I can, but I can only work on it on my school computer. I also would like to apologize for all these new updates on all of the chapters today. I just went through all of it a few days ago and fixed it up and added some new stuff. Also I promise this will be the last update for a couple of days for ppl who got annoyed by all the updates today. Well, I now have to work on my video for YouTube with my friend who helps. Bye!
