The other day my dad asked what I write in my book (cuz my family know ;-; ) and I was just imaging his reaction if I told him I write about gay skeletons in love triangles and going yandere on each outer....

He would have a few questions. XD

---Cross' POV----

I must have fallen asleep with Nightmare. Because when I woke up, I was still in his bed, with him curled up in my lap. I stared at him for a good five minutes as he slept, sounds creepy I know, but if he was awake he'd probably slap me. So I'm grasping an opportunity before I lose it.

He honestly looks so cute like this and I want nothing more than to stay here forever cuddling him. I looked down at him and blushed. He had a little frown on his face and was gripping to my clothes tightly, whining quietly in his sleep.

I gently stroked the top of his skull and he relaxed, snuggling closer to me. My face was practically a grape at this point, I was blushing so hard.

Nightmare squirmed and let out a small yawn before opening his eyes sleepily. I don't think he processed where he was, or that I was really there because he nuzzled closer to me, rubbing his face with one hand.

"Have a nice sleep?~"

He froze and looked up at me. "C-CROSS!?"

He immediately pushed away from me and scrambled back, resulting in him falling off the bed with a yelp. For a moment I couldn't see him, but he soon popped back up, scrambling as far away from me as possible.

"What are you doing here!?" He hissed.

I blinked then smirked. His face was slowly turning a light shade of purple.

"Well I would have left..." I said slyly. " But when you fell asleep curled up on my lap I really felt like I couldn't wake you~"

"Your lying! I-I did not fall asleep curled up on you!"

I laughed. "Mmhm okay."

He growled and looked down at his hands. "Ugh, I'm still this disgusting thing..."

I laughed. "I don't see anything wrong with it, personally."

He looked at me. "That's because your a creep! What do you think the others would do if they saw me like this?!"

I stayed silent, seeing that he had a point.

He groaned and hit his head against the wall. I laughed and walked over to him. "You'll just have to put up with their teasing then."

He glared at me. "Easy for you to say! Your not in this situation are you!?"

I leant forwards and ruffled the top of his skull. "Y'know your really cute like this, so I'm having an increasingly hard time to take you seriously."

---Dream's POV----

I glanced up at the ceiling as I ate my cereal.

Nightmare hadn't come down yesterday. He wasn't waiting for me at the end of school, and when I got home he had hidden in his room. I had wanted to go in and check he was okay, but he'd probably have just yelled at me.

So I had just stayed downstairs and read my my books, waiting for him to come down. But he never did.

A sudden yell followed by a thump came from upstairs and I jumped. I could faintly hear Nightmare talking. To himself or someone else, I don't know. I'm assuming it's himself because I never saw anyone come in last night or this morning. And Nightmare would never let anyone in his room. He doesn't even let me go on there.

I looked up at the sound of someone walking down the stairs. I took a spoonful of cereal and ate it slowly, waiting for a pissed off Nightmare to walk round the corner.

I practically choked on my cereal as Cross walked through.

He glanced at me as I coughed and choked. "Uh, you good Dream?"

I gave him a thumbs up and finished choking, gasping in air. Cross looked at me amusingly, seeming to find my choking session rather funny.

"Are you done dieing Drama Queen?"

I nodded and stared at him. "Umm, I know its more of...your business than mine...but...why are you in our house...?"

Cross laughed and rubbed the back of his skull with his hand. "Ehehe yeah...sorry about that...I wasn't supposed to fall asleep here...sorry..."

I smiled. "Its okay. Just wanted to check you weren't trying to burgle us or something."

At that moment Nightmare walked in. But not as I expected him to.

"BROTHER YOUR PASSIVE WHAT HAPPENED!?!?"

He winced and covered his ears. "God Dream you don't have to wake up everyone in the neighbourhood!"

"Hehe sorry....what happened?"

"Don't wanna talk about it." Nightmare growled, grabbing some bread and sitting down at the table. I looked over at Cross to see him staring at Nightmare, an almost longing look in his eyes.

I frowned. "Cross...do you...like my brother?"

Nightmare choked on his bread and Cross froze. "What? Nightmare!? No! No haha we're just friends..." He trailed off and looked at Nightmare.

I smiled. Good.

Nightmare glared at me, his expression saying 'what the hell was that for!?'. I smiled at him and glanced between the two of them. "And Brother....do you like Cross?"

Cross' face turned purple and Nightmare nearly choked again. "NO! I...I hate him!"

I smiled. "Okay!" This is perfect.

The two of them eyed me suspiciously and I just smiled innocently at them. They didn't need to know what was going on. Especially Nightmare.

"Well we need to get to school now!" I said cheerfully. "Lets go!"

Nightmare groaned and got down from the table, passing a piece of bread to Cross as he walked past. Oh yeah, Cross didn't eat breakfast.

I ran to the door, grabbed my bag, slipped on my shoes and grabbed the keys from the little dish we put them in. I threw them to Nightmare and he caught them cleanly before putting on his own shoes.

Cross stood back and watched us, a causal look of curiosity on his face. I smiled at him and then turned to open the door, letting the sunlight pour in. Nightmare winced and covered his face with a hand.

Cross laughed at Nightmare as he stepped past us and walked outside. I quickly followed him and Nightmare came out slowly behind us.

I laughed and ran on ahead. "Come on guys! We're gonna be late!"

---Cross' POV----

As we reached the school gates Nightmare slowed down. Each step he took was clearly hesitant and forced. I sighed and stoped, waiting for him to catch up.

Dream looked back at us and I smiled, waving him on. He grinned and nodded before running off to find Blue or someone.

Nightmare glanced at me and huffed. I held back a laugh and smirked. He 'd insisted on changing his clothes to something less obvious. He didn't want anyone to recognise him by how similar he looked to Dream.

So he was wearing a hoodie that was rather too large for him and some casual trousers. At first glance you probably wouldn't recognise him. But run again, no ones ever seen him in this form before anyway. But I guess he really doesn't want them to find out.

He stopped just in front of the gate and glanced around, probably looking for any sign of the others. I looked around as well, I hadn't seen any of them yet, but running into them is inevitable. We can only delay it.

"Come on." I huffed, grabbing his arm and pulling him along. "They'll only recognise you if you do something you'd normally do, so whatever happens, don't do something Nightmare would do."

"I am Nightmare!" He hissed.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. "No. Your someone else from now on. Well, at least until you go back to normal. Well, if you go back to normal..."

"I will!" Nightmare growled. "I just don't know how long it will take..."

I laughed. "Okay, okay, calm down. No need to get mad, that's something Nightmare would do."

He glared at me. "I already told you! I am-!"

"CROSS!"

We both whipped around to see the guys running towards us. All of them.

Nightmare stiffened and immediately hid behind me, gripping the back of my jacket tightly. I glanced at him but quickly looked back at the guys as they drew level with us.

"Cross!" Dust called, stepping in front of me. "What the hell happened with you yesterday!?

I blinked. Oh yeah, I revealed that I can teleport and ran off halfway through school to check if Nightmare had died.

"Don't worry..." I muttered.

Reaper looked at me suspiciously. "We're gonna make you tell us later, one way or another."

I gulped and nodded.

Dust cleared his throat. "So, umm...did I kill Nightmare...?"

I laughed at his half hopeful half scared expression. "No, you didn't. But he's...not in today."

Dust let out a sigh. "I was honestly hoping I killed him."

I heard Nightmare growl silently behind me, his grip on the fabric of my jacket tightening slightly.

"Who's your friend?" Reaper asked, looking at Nightmare with a smirk on his face.

I panicked slightly. "Uh, h-he's a friend from an old school I went to. He umm, he wants to move school, so he's checking some out, like this one..." Real good Excuse Cross, real good.

Reaper grinned. "He seems awfully shy, come on out little one, we don't bite~"

Nightmare growled and stayed behind me.

I laughed nervously. "Hehe, he's umm, not much of a people person. He's pretty shy and I'm his only friend here..."

Reaper smirked. "Judging by how close he's clinging to you, I'd say your a lot more than friends~"

I immediately stepped to the side and Nightmare pushed away from me, his face the slightest bit purple. "Hell no!" He muttered under his breath.

Dust walked over to Nightmare and crouched down a bit to his level and laughed. "Huh, he's actually kinda cute."

I flinched and Nightmare growled.

I guess Nightmare had got tired of all this and was extremely pissed of with Dust already from him dumping all that water on him and admitting that he wished he was dead. It seemed calling him cute was the final straw.

I could only watch in shock as Nightmare snapped and punched Dust in the face.
