Heya I lost a bet against DylanNorris108 and as a result he got to write the first paragraph of this chapter XD
I wasn't allowed to change it so I had to roll with how he started it X3

And as usual I forgot to say thanks for 43k XD
Oh well 44k YAYAAYAYAYAY

---Lust's POV----

I purred as horror nuzzled the back of my neck. I slowly turned to face him and kissed him making him smirk and kiss me back.

(Wow Dyaln of course you do this XD
*cracks knuckles* I got this!)

I was well aware of the others snickering and nudging each other, all having wide grins on their faces.We ignored them and pretended they weren't there until we saw Dust pull out his phone and try take a picture or video.

Horror pulled away and I quickly buried my face in his jacket, letting out an amused hum at Dust's groan of disappointment.

"Come on! Two more seconds and I would have got that!"

I snickered and Horror nuzzled me. "That was kinda the point Dust."

Dust huffed and put his phone away. "Assholes..."

I laughed and pushed my face away from Horror's chest to look around. The heat had actually miraculously started to face and now not being under the shade was just about bearable.

Lucky for me, most of my clothes aren't thick and wintery, they're more summery.

Horror's clothes are all thick and made for winter, so he's just cooled himself by simply tying his hoodie round his waist instead of wearing it.

That's what most of the guys have done. Stripped down to a single layer. All except Cross.

That strange boy was still dressed up fully, not having taken any layers off at all. It was obvious he was boiling hot, he had sweat running down his face, and that's not just because Nightmare said if he hugged him he'd choke him with a tentacle when he's back to normal.

We had already tried to make him take off a few layers but he'd insisted that he was fine, which he clearly isnt. Even Nightmare was trying now.

"Cross take off some layers! Do what you did yesterday and just strip down to your shorts and that black polo shirt." Nightmare ordered.

It seems his passive effect didn't have much effect on the 'listening to orders' side of Cross because he just shook his head at Nightmare and shrugged. "I'm fine Nighty, it's not that hot."

"Yes it is!" Nightmare hissed, pulling at the sleeve of Cross' jacket.

Cross looked down at him in amusement. Making Nightmare growl. "Stop being stubborn!"

Cross shook his head and I sat up straighter. "Are you looking for compensation or something?"

He glanced at me and smirked. "So what if I am?"

"Compensation for us saving you from collapsing from a heat stroke!?"

Cross shrugged. "I'm not that hot, really."

Nightmare hissed. "What do we have to do to make you take of some fricking layers before we tie you down and do it by force!?"

Cross smirked at Nightmare, edging closer. "You know what~"

Nightmare's face flushed purple. "N-No!"

Cross grinned. "There was hesitation in that Nighty~"

We looked between the two of them, incredibly confused at what they were going on about.

Suddenly Horror chuckled. "Oooh, I know what they're on about now!"

I looked up at him and snuggled closer. "What...?"

Horror snickered. "Cross wants to be allowed to hug and fuss over Nightmare in public without having to worry about a tentacle being shoved down his throat and choking him later."

I laughed. "Wow, Cross will even risk collapsing from heat stroke to make sure he gets to hug and cuddle Nightmare, how cute."

Cross smirked at us before looking back down at Nightmare slyly.

Nightmare growled and glared at the floor. "Fine! But take the layers off first!"

We all watched in amusement as Cross happily stripped down to his shorts and black polo top before pouncing on Nightmare and hugging him tightly to his chest.

Dust pulled out his phone and took a few quick photos. Cross saw but didn't do anything, only smirked. Nightmare had his face buried in Cross chest so didn't notice anyway.

I purred as Horror randomly pulled me over and nuzzled me, my face heating up with blush.

The others instantly turned their attention away from Nightmare and Cross and watched Horror and I as we blushed and nuzzled each other.

I saw Dust taking a picture of us as well, making me blush even more and grip Horror tighter. Horror practically posed for Dust, flashing a peace sign for the picture.

I huffed and nuzzled closer, blocking our the sounds of the others snickering and whispering to each other.

Suddenly the whispering turned to "ooooh's as something I didn't see obviously happened. I pushed myself off of Horror and turned round just in time to see Ink and Error pull away from a kiss!

Lucky for them, like with us, Dust washroom slow and only got his phone on to camera just as they pulled away from each other.

"Mmm I nearly had that one!" Dust groaned, making the others laugh again.

"Wow..." Horror whispered. "It seems like we've started a couple competition."

I hummed. "We'd win it~"

"Oh you bet we would~"

Error had obviously heard us because he looked over and smirked. "Don't be silly you two. Inky and I would win by miles."

"Are you sure about that?" Nightmare asked with a smirk as he shifted next to Cross and stared the two of them down.

Error grinned. "Yes I'm sure."

Cross shook his head. "Nope we'd win."

Suddenly Dust cut in. "Yo, this might sound retarded, but I was talking this girl that runs a club at school, she never told me what he club was actually about, but that doesn't matter. Somehow we started talking about all you guys and she confused me completely by saying 'There goes Team Scifell'.

I'm pretty sure she said that by accident cuz straight after she hit herself and scowled. Anyways I asked what she ment by that, and apparently its called a ship name or something. So when two people are together you combine their names to have a ship name."

We all blinked and Dust laughed.

"For example, Fell and Sci equals Scifell. So Blue and I would be.....uh...we'd be Dustberry I guess..."

Blue looked up at him and giggled. "I like that...Dustberry."

I snickered and looked up at Horror. "I guess we'd be Horrorlust then~"

Horror smirked. "I like the sound of that~"

"....Crossmare...?" We turned to see Cross thinking. "We'd be Crossmare right?"

Dust nodded and Cross smirked. "Sounds cool, whatcha think Nighty?"

Nightmare sighed and shrugged. "I really couldn't care less..."

"Haha we'd be Errink!" Error said with a laugh as he nuzzled a blushing Ink.

"That ones a good one!" I said with a laugh. "Who's left?" I asked, looking round the rest of us.

Geno and Reaper.

"Huh what would you guys be?" I asked.

They shrugged. "I have no idea...our names don't really mold well together..." Reaper said sadly.

"Eh we'll figure it out later I said with a shrug as I scanned everyone else.

"Killer and Dream...?"

We all went silent as we thought.

"Mmmmm I'm thinking Kréme..." Nightmare muttered, a small smirk visible on his face as he stared at his brother.

Killer and Dream both blushed and I sighed dramatically. "You two should just kiss and make out already! It's obvious you both like each other and feel the same way! So just confess already!!!"

They both blushed darker and avoided eye contact with each other, not wanting to be further embarrassed.

I smirked. "I don't care what happens guys, but before this school year is up, were going to make Kréme offical!"

---------------------------------------------------------
Hmmmm the ships
I didn't make them come up with afterdeath, cuz, they're not gonna be able to figure that one out are they?

Anyways good job on the chapter starter Dyaln XD

My favourite ship name is Crossmare, followed by Errink and Kréme :3

Okay bye!
