---Nightmare's POV----

I shifted uncomfortably as Cross and Dream continued to mess with my tentacles. I kept shivering and jolting as they platted them together.

"If they stay stuck like that I will not hesitate to kill both of you." I growled, glancing back to see them both grinning mischievously at me.

I cringed at the sight of my poor tentacles twisted into that sickening pattern. It made me shudder. Cross laughed and tilted his head to the side. "What's the matter Nightmare? Not enjoying this?"

I growled and glared at him, earning a laugh in response. "Your lucky I'm being nice cuz your depressed Dream, otherwise there's no way I'd be letting you do this." I muttered.

Dream smiled at me innocently and giggled. Out of the corner of my eye I could see the others laughing at me. All of them except Killer, he was still in a stubborn mood and was refusing to see the funny side of anything.

He was still glaring at Cross with a worrying intensity. I don't think Killer would hurt Cross over something stupid like me being friends with him. Besides I still don't think that's the reason he's so moody at the moment.

But if he does try to hurt Cross...

I will stop him.

I glanced back at Cross and Dream. They were both completely engrossed with their platting work, looks of pure concentration on their faces as they weaved the three tentacles in and out of each other.

My one free tentacle wriggled weakly about on the floor, swishing from side to side in an agitated fashion. Dream noticed and pet it lightly, making sure that one got attention as well.

I groaned and buried my face in my hands, shivering horribly as they reached the end of my tentacles. "Done!" Dream called cheerily, the two of them letting go of my poor tentacles.

I scrambled away from them and stood up, glancing behind me to see their work. "What do you think of it?" Dream asked innocently, a wide smile on his face.

"I hate it."

"C'mon its not that bad!" Dream whined childishly, a small smile on his face.

"Trust me, it really is." I muttered as I started unraveling the plat, cringing as my tentacles stuck together a bit. Cross walked up to me and grabbed one, making me growl.

"Relax, I'm helping." He held them lightly and started un-plating them gently. I begrudgingly let him, keeping a close eye on his actions.

I shuddered as he un-weaved the last twists and sighed in relief as my tentacles were freed. I let them twitch and wriggle about in the air for a moment, relishing the feeling of them being free once more.

Cross took a step back and they lashed forwards, wrapping around him tightly. "N-Nightmare?" He squeaked.

I smirked and looked at him, making my tentacles pull him in front of me. "Yes~?" I purred, reaching a hand out to stroke his cheek gently.

His face turned a dark shade of purple at my action and I smirked. "You look awfully ill Cross, your face is all purple."

His face went an even darker shade of purple and I chuckled. "You feeling okay~?"

Cross gulped and opened his mouth as if to say something, but he quickly shut it again, not being able to form any words. I laughed and released him, letting him fall to the floor in a flustered, embarrassed heap.

He looked up at me, his face still purple and I smirked, holding out a hand for him. He glanced at it unsurely, but gave in and reached up, griping it firmly and pulling himself up.

I could see Killer glaring at the two of us out of the corner of my vision. He looked furious. Probably because of what I'd just done. Eh, that's his problem. I was just testing something. That's all.

The others all laughed and wolf whistled, glancing from Cross to Killer as they glared at each other. Dust laughed harder as Horror pulled out a little notebook and pen, opening up to a page and drawing a line in one of two tally charts that where on the page.

"Uh, what's that?" I asked.

Horror looked up at me and grinned. "Its a chart for how many Love points the new kid and Killer get. So far newbie has an impressive lead, despite only being here for just over a week so far."

Killer growled and Cross laughed. "If your going to be doing stuff like that then at least try to learn my name so that I'm not just 'the new kid'."

Dust laughed and looked at him apologetically. "Right, right, you have a point. So then new kid. What is your name?"

"Cross. My name is Cross."

Horror hummed and scribbled out something from the top of the tally chart with more points and wrote 'Cross' at the top. "Done!" He said cheerily.

Cross smiled. "Good."

I rolled my eye at their childishness. "I've already said, no ones fighting for me. This isn't some High school version of the Hunger Games where I'm the prize."

Dust hummed. "Are you sure about that? Cross has already tried to stab Killer, and nearly succeeded. Killer is probably plotting to kill Cross and play off his murder as an accident. Its a back and forth war if you think about it"

Fell walked up to me and patted me on the back. "And your stuck in the middle of it mate."

I growled and shook him off. "This conversation is over. I'm tired of it."

Cross walked next to me and smirked at Killer. "If their was a fight over Nightmare, I'm sure I'd win easily."

I rolled my eye and shook my head. "Did you hear any of what I just said?"

Cross shrugged and smiled. "Just stating the facts, that's all."

Killer growled and glared at him. "Don't get too cocky kid. It'll get the better of you and will cost you dearly."

Cross blinked then laughed. "I'll keep that in mind thanks. Thanks for your words of wisdom."

I blocked myself out of their conversation to look at Dream. He had a small smile on his face, and was currently making a small daisy chain out the small flowers around him.

I sighed, happy that he was content now and not all miserable like yesterday. It made me worried to see how depressed and sad he was after I told him what I'd seen and shown him the picture I'd taken.

Thinking of that picture...

Its a perfect opportunity to have a blackmail card for Error.

I'm sure he wouldn't want people knowing about him and Ink being together. In fact he probably wants to keep it as a secret for as long as possible.

Believe it or not, I'm actually really good at keeping secrets. Once a secret is told, I'm very capable of keeping it as a secret for as long as they want. But occasionally the secret will slip and 'poof' everyone in the school knows.

It depends on who tells me the secret really.

That and whether I was supposed to know it or not...
