Killer makes a lot of trouble in hopes of getting a bit closer to the mortal, he gets a scolding instead and we get a Cross x Dust moment also Horror pog

"I'm so boredddddd." Killer sighs as he looks at the ceiling, he should probably find a better position than sitting upside down on the sofa but that way at least his horns are not damaging the sofa, his tail feels uncomfortable tho and if he summoned his wings those would feel uncomfy too.

"You wanna play video games?" He turns to look at Cross before shaking his head. They played those an hour ago, he sighs and looks around before his non-existent eye lights stop at the fireplace. He gets an idea. "Mortals are sensitive to temperature change, right?"

Dust goes back home after his walk around the castle, weird thing that no one had seen such a big building from the city but he suspects that there is probably some camouflage magic in here. If it weren't like that the locals would probably not leave them alone.

He walks inside and immediately shivers, it's really cold inside, freezing. Somehow it's far warmer outside than inside the castle. Maybe Nightmare is doing something with ice magic? Or Horror forgot to close the fridge again? Either way it will probably get warmer soon.

He adjusts his scarf so that it will cover his face and walks to the kitchen. Horror is already in there, Dust can recognize those horns everywhere, he is mixing something in a bowl, whatever it is it smells delicious. "Hi." Dust waves to the giant before sitting down next to the table.

He is not sitting for even 5 minutes and his bones start rattling and shaking. Horror turns to look at him and frowns slightly as he walks closer. "What's wrong?"

Dust looks away, he can't even think clearly, his mind is just screaming at him because it's so cold. He gets up and walks to the demon while trying to stop himself from shaking and hugs him tightly. Horror Is really warm and doesn't seem to mind as he wraps his arms and his jacket around him, unlike other demons Horror does not have wings but he tries his best. "Are you cold?"

He nods. It's humiliating, he feels like a little kid. There is a sound of footsteps getting closer. Dust looks at the entrance and Killer peeks inside the kitchen. Horror glares at him. "Killer, did you turn off the heaters?"

"I told him not to do that!"

"Shut the f up Cross!" Killer shouts into the hallway before looking back at Horror. The other demon glares, Horror takes off his jacket and gives it to Dust before taking a broom and running after Killer with it. "I just wanted to cuddle with the mortal!"

"Should have asked him then!"

Dust blinks and zips the jacket before sitting back down on the chair. It smells like Horror and it generates warmth, the fire in the hood where the fluff should be does not hurt. it's probably enchanted with fire magic. He looks at the bowl that Horror left and decides that he will not have a taste this time, the giant is nice. The least he can do is not eat the ingredients that he needs to make a meal.

He stops shaking after a moment and takes out his phone before scrolling through youtube. There is nothing interesting. A video briefly catches his attention, the letters are in japanese, he doesn't understand it at all but it looks like a song, he saves it in his to watch playlist without a second thought.

Cross walks into the kitchen hesitantly and sits down next to him. "Uh.. hi." The silence after that is awkward as the demon fidgets with his fingers. "Can I hug ya?"

Dust looks away from his phone and glances at the demon as Cross starts waving his hands in the air like in those cartoons. "I uh- I m-mean if ya wanna o-of course." He scratches the back of his neck and smiles. Dust sighs and just pulls him for a hug.

Cross moves into his lap hesitantly. Dust doesn't say anything about it and just continues scrolling. That is until a gameplay video shows up in his recommendation, Cross insists that they'll watch it, it's hollow knight, Dust rises a brow but just doesn't have the heart to tell him no.

He spends the rest of the day watching gameplays from games that he would usually not watch with Cross clinging to him.
