32k boi!

---Cross' POV----

I woke up screaming.

The sheets were tangled around me and and sweat was making my clothes stick to me. I sat up and whimpered, my breathing harsh and laboured. I could faintly make out the silhouettes of the objects around me in the clouded darkness.

I shook and trembled terrified out of my mind. Where am I? What happened to our class? What happened to Nightmare? Is he here?

I whimpered and looked around frantically, searching for any signs of him.

Loud footsteps running up the stairs rang out and I immediately panicked, scrambling back on the bed, trying to get as far away from the door as possible.

I could hear whoever had run up the stairs scramble across the landing and thump into the door. I tensed and whimpered, scared of whoever was about to come through.

The door swung open and a panicked Nightmare stumbled in a half scared half concerned look on his face.

"Cross!?"

I let out another sound of distress and backed up on the bed even more, remembering everything he did. He handed me over to X. He watched as I screamed for help. He didn't even react to how terrified I obviously was.

Nightmare started walking over to me and I panicked, pressing myself up against the wall to try keep as much distance between us as possible.

He frowned and slowed down, but he didn't stop walking until he was stood right next to the bed.

"Cross...?"

I nearly snapped at the concern in his voice. I wanted to do nothing more than lunge and him for a hug and sob into his chest. But I restrained myself and simply whimpered, a look of pure terror in my eyes.

Nightmare held a hand out but froze as I shyed away from it, like he was about to hit me or hurt me.

He frowned and pulled his hand back, clearly concerned for my sudden change of personality and how scared I was of him.

"Cross...? I-I heard you screaming. What happened!?"

I gulped and looked around frantically, still feeling like he was here somewhere. Nightmare sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed, making me tense.

"Cross please...what's wrong...?"

I avoided meeting his concerned stare and looked at my shaking hands. "Y-You h-handed me over to h-him..."

Nightmare inched closer and frowned. "I handed you over to who...?"

I flinched. "Him."

"You mean the one that...."

I nodded and Nightmare let out a sigh before shuffling closer to me on the bed. "Cross you know I would never do that..."

I whimpered. "B-But you did! Y-You watched as he d-dragged me out of the classroom. You didn't e-even try to help as I screamed in fear and terror. H-He stabbed me with a n-needle and everything went black and n-now here I am!"

Nightmare tilted his head to the side and then let out a sigh of what sounded almost like relief.

"Cross...that was all a bad dream..."

I went tense. Was it...?

"The last time you were at school was a few hours ago, and you were feeling sick remember?"

I frowned as vague memories came back to me. I can remember feeling ill and clinging to Nightmare. And I can remember him taking me home early...But after that all I can think about is waking up the next day to find Nightmare gone and everyone acting strange.

"I stayed with you while you slept for a while and you were fine, snuggling up to me an the usual stuff. I left you when Dream and Killer came back, thinking you'd be fine..."

I glanced at Nightmare and he looked down guiltily and balled his hands into fists.

"Guess I was wrong... I had been down with them for just over an  hour, assuming you were fine. But as soon as we heard you screaming I scrambled up here as quick as I could..."

I looked up at him and he stared at me, clearly wanting some confirmation from me that I was okay, and wasn't mad at him.

I gulped and shuffled closer to him hesitantly. He twitched but didn't move towards me, not wanting to scare me in any way. I nervously shifted along until I was sat right next to him, our shoulders brushing against each others lightly.

I sighed softly and leant against Nightmare, nuzzling my head into the crook of his neck, making him purr in relief. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me close making me go limp and lean against him

He smirked and nuzzled me softly, letting one hand stroke under my chin. "That's better~"

I blushed and looked down, only to have him tilt my face back up to his. I looked up at him and he smiled before leaning down and kissing me softly.

I pressed myself closer to him and melted into the kiss, feeling myself relax completely, any stress or fear slowly being drained from my body. I now felt calm and relaxed.

Nightmare pulled back and looked down at me. "Better~?"

I nodded happily and nuzzled up to him. "I love you Nighty..."

"I love you too Crossy~"

---Dream's POV----

It had been around half an hour since we had suddenly heard Cross screaming and Nightmare had rushed up to check on him. It seems like they won't be coming down for a while now.

I glanced at Killer as he skimmed through one of Nightmare's fantasy books he's reading right now. You wouldn't think that Nightmare would be one to read books. But he always has liked stories, and even after he changed, he still found fun in reading books, mainly fiction though. No non-fiction.

Obviously he would deny his love for reading at school with his friends, and if any of them ever saw him with a book or something he'd say its my book and he's stolen it...or something like that.

I have actually read most of his books and they're ok. But some I don't understand at all. I still read them anyway. I find reading amazing as well. It's one of my favourite things to do actually.

Being bored and curious, I shuffled next to Killer and leaned against him softly, peering over his shoulder at what he was reading.

Killer chuckled and nuzzled me softly, making me squeak and blush. Killer chuckled and shifted so I could see the pages better as we both skim read Nightmare's current book. He looked about two thirds of the way through and had a small fold at the top of the page he was currently on.

Killer, having skim read, was about a third through the book. It actually seemed quite interesting.

"What's this book called?" I asked, wanting to take a mental note to take it and read it once Nightmare's finished with it. Killer placed his thumb on the sentence he was on and shut the book so we could see the cover.

"Uhh...it's called Criminal Conflict." (Mmmmmmmm good choice Nightmare XD)

I nodded and made note of the name. I would definitely be borrowing this book from Nightmare when he's done with it.

Just as things started getting intense in the story, footsteps rang out and we both turned to see Nightmare walk in, a half relieved half concerned look on his face.

"Is Cross okay?" I asked, still slightly worried about how terrified his screams sounded.

Nightmare sighed and looked over at us. "He's fine now....he just had a bad dream..."

I smiled. "Okay."

Nightmare walked over to us and glanced at the book in Killer's lap before yelping. "Hey That's Mine!"

He reached out with a tentacle and snatched the book of of Killer making him cry out in protest. "Wait no! Someone just fell off a roof and I need to know if they survive!!"

Nightmare smirked and laughed. "Oh him? Yeah what happens next is intense."

"That's not fair!" Killer whined. "I wanna know what happens!"

Nightmare glanced between the two of us and his grin grew wider.

I immediately knew he was planning something mean or embarrassing.

"I'll only give it back to you..." He said slowly, " If Dream kisses you."

"WHAT!?" We both screeched.

"Mmmm you heard me."

My face flushed yellow and I glanced at Killer to see it was tinted red.

"Go on then~" Nightmare purred, his grin the biggest I've seen it in a while.

I shut my eyes and quickly kissed Killer on the cheek before curling up and hiding, my face as yellow as the sun.

Nightmare laughed hysterically and passed the book to Killer. "Haha I was hoping for an actual kiss but oh well, you two are too cute for each other I swear."

"You never specified where I had to kiss him.." I mumbled glancing Killer, my face dark with blush. He was already looking at me his face also noticeably darker with blush.

Nightmare patted us both on the the head and laughed one last time before starting to walk out.

"You know what Dreamy? This is one relationship that I shall not shatter."
