'So do we have a deal?' Asked Corrupted.

Nightmare scoffed and shook his head. Corrupted sat down in front of him. He was growing inpatient. "Why not?" He growled.

Nightmare looked up to look at him. Corrupted was giving him a stare that could kill, but Nightmare wasn't worried.

"I don't want you to hurt him." He said sternly. Corrupted smiled.

'I won't.' He said.

Nightmare looked at him with a dissatisfied face. "Sure." He said in a sarcastic voice. Corrupted rolled his eyes.

'Do you remember Error?'

"Fuck you."

'You know Cross reminds me of him.' He said, ignoring what Nightmare responded.

Corrupted sighed. 'I won't hurt him.' He said again.

"I know." Nightmare responded sadly. Corrupted looked at him confusedly.

'Is this about Error? Again?' He asked.

Nightmare chuckled, and nodded. "It's always about Error." He said. He sighed. "Fine."

Corrupted looked at him. "In the night, you leave me the fuck alone, and I'll." He took a deep breath. "I'll get the key."

Corrupted smiled. Nightmare looked at him with a warning look. "BUT, you don't do anything if he doesn't want to." He added sternly. Corrupted smiled.

'I won't.' And with that he left. It felt amazing. Without having a constant figure of negativity near you at all times, Nightmare felt much happier, and less depressed.

He knew he would regret this later, but decided to not think about it. Today was Error's day.
————————————————————
It would be an understatement to say that Nightmare was very excited today. He was absolutely ecstatic.

Of course everyone knew why. Except for one vital person. Cross.

Though he didn't ask any questions until later, being too entertained with Nightmare, who was acting like a child on their birthday. He was even more excited then when it was his ACTUAL birthday.

Throughout the whole day he didn't pick up a book once, and actually acknowledged the other people that were there.

"Why did you add blue to the white?" Nightmare asked confusedly.

Ink laughed as he mixed the paint together. "For shadows." He said.

"But shadows are black!?!??"

Everyone laughed. Nightmare pouted. "Even Azy is a better painter than you." Cross said.

Nightmare scoffed playfully. "Yeah right."
————————————————————
"Why are you so excited?" Cross asked.

They were outside now. Cross decided to stay in their group instead of switching like he normally did, for obvious reasons.

Nightmare smiled. "Cause you're here." He said. Not completely true, but not false either.

Cross smiled. "But I'm always here." He said.

Nightmare sighed. "Yeah there's another reason, but I don't really want to talk about it, it will make me sad." He whispered the last part.

Cross nodded. He dropped the subject.

"You want to climb the tree?" Nightmare asked, snapping Cross out of his thinking trance. Cross nodded.

They started to climb the tree that they were sitting in front of. Cross went first and helped Nightmare. They made it to the top which had a little space for them to sit. It had started to get dark, and so by this point they were watching the sun set.

It was a very magical sight indeed, but Cross wasn't looking at the sun. He was looking at the moon.
————————————————————
Nightmare and Geno were baking a cake. It was a pretty small cake, the whole of it being black, with red and yellow lines going down the sides. Nightmare finished decorating it with blue, string like frosting all around.

Geno handed him the candles that were meant to be placed on the cake. A '2' and an '8', much like on Nightmare's birthday.

Then Nightmare picked it up as they carefully left the cafeteria. They were stealthy and tried not be seen by anyone, as they went to the medical center.

They went back to the isolated room. Geno took the key out and showed it to Nightmare. He shook his head, and Geno nodded, as he put the key away.

Nightmare gently placed the cake on a chair in the outside of the room. Geno lit the candles. They both stood quietly, like they did every year. Then Nightmare started chanting various praises and hopes towards the room, under his breath.

"Come back soon." He finished it off. He stopped for a little before blowing out the candles. "Forgive me." He muttered. He wiped a tear that was going down his cheek away. "I-I hope you made a wish."

He picked up the cake and handed it to Geno. Geno looked at him sympathetically. He was probably the only one that could begin to understand what Nightmare felt. Many of them even said that they acted like brothers at times.

"Let's go." Nightmare said as they started heading back to the first floor.
————————————————————
Nightmare sighed. He went into Epic's storage room. He knew he kept the keys in there. Epic probably wouldn't care if he took the key, but he would probably ask questions, so he had to be quick.

He looked at the key chain. There were two keys that looked identical except for the color.

He took out the one that was clear, but at times dark purple, and put it in his pocket. He left the room sadly. "Forgive me, Cross." He repeated for the second time today.

He chuckled to himself as he realized that he said that to both of the ones that he loved. He didn't even flinch when the black goo overtook him. Corrupted turned back to look at him, but Nightmare ignored him.

'Don't do anything stupid.' Nightmare muttered as he left.

"I won't." Corrupted said happily. He walked over to Cross' room, where the other was waiting for him, on the floor, in front of the door.

"Hey Crossy~" he said as he stood in front of the door.

Cross smiled. "Hi." He motioned to the floor in front of the door. Corrupted smiled and shook his head. He took out the key that Nightmare got earlier, and unlocked the door. Cross stared in shock as he came inside the room.

Cross hesitantly hugged him. After he realized that he was really there, he hugged tighter. Corrupted happily returned the hug, with a smile.

Cross released. "Did Epic give you the key?" He asked.

Corrupted shook his head, and planted a small kiss on Cross' forehead. "Nightmare did." That surprised Cross since Nightmare didn't usually talk about Corrupted as if he trusted him. Nevertheless he trusted Corrupted.

"I want to try something, but only if you are comfortable with it okay?" He asked, Cross. He nodded, but was not ready for what happened next.

Corrupted kissed him slowly, but full of love, on the lips. Cross froze for a bit thinking of what to do. This was his first time after all. At least he thought.

After a while though, it came naturally and he melted into it. They pulled apart after a while to catch their breaths.

Corrupted put his hand on Cross' shirt as he started to pull it off a bit. 'Ohh so this is what we are doing.' He thought. Thankfully Chara always left when Cross talked to Corrupted. "Are you okay?" Corrupted asked. Cross blushed, but nodded.

Corrupted smiled at him, showing that it was okay. "If you aren't ready, for anything just tell me okay?" Corrupted asked.

Corrupted may have been a sadistic person, but he would never want to hurt Cross. When he did this with Error he found out that the other was a masochist, but he wasn't sure if Cross was so he wanted to make him feel safe.

Cross thought for a moment. Was he ready? It was his first time after all. After a few seconds of thinking he realized that he was. He loved Corrupted, and he hoped that this may get him closer to Nightmare. He nodded.

Corrupted smiled warmly. He laid Cross on his back, on his bed, and got on top of him. They kiss deeply again.
