---Nightmare's POV----

I knew I had made a mistake as I looked down at the sleeping Cross in my arms.

I've messed up. Bad.

To possibly be falling in love with someone that only has a few days left of living sanely isn't really the best idea.

If he turns properly he'll have to be shot, and if I'm really this attached to him, I can't have that happening. But the thought of him being forced into becoming a flesh craving zombie for the rest of his life practically shatters my soul.

I can't bare for Cross to go through either of those options.

What had started as an innocent comparison to my brother had turned to something dangerous. I'd known him for two days. Surely this wasn't right. Surely something was wrong.

He shifted in my arms, catching my attention subtly and tearing me from my thoughts. He mumbled in his sleep, squirming slightly as he reached his free hand down to his infected wrist.

Immediately I wrapped a tentacle around his wrist, stopping him from scratching it. Worryingly, he has been doing that more recently. That's always the first sign that he could be about to go through a change. That was always followed by dizziness, and then that led to those odd snarling noises and his eyes glazing over.

I know most of the main signs, but I really need Cross to tell me if he feels these things.

He probably doesn't want to be a burden...but I need to know...

Cross dug his fingers into my tentacle wrapped around his wrist, making me jolt. He was trying to pull it off from my wrist so that he could scratch and itch it, but I didn't let him.

He let out a small whimper as his eyes fluttered open, glancing around for a moment before resting on the tentacle wrapped around his wrist.

"N-Nighty?"

I hummed in response, leaning down to kiss his neck lightly.

Cross shivered, looking up at me. He smiled cutely, making me wince. He really needs to stop being so cute.

"Morning my love~" I cooed, making his face flush instantly.

"B-But it's the afternoon!" He squeaked, shifting so that he was sat up, facing me.

I smirked and shrugged before leaning over to kiss his neck softly again.

He clung to me, squirming slightly as I trailed little kisses up from his neck to his jaw line, only stopping when I'd placed a small kiss on his mouth.

I chuckled upon seeing how I'd reduced him into a flustered mess so easily. "You like that~?"

He nodded dumbly, his eyes scanning over my face slowly.

I smirked again, brushing my thumb against his cheek bone before before pulling him into a proper kiss, earning a surprised but happy squeak from Cross.

He clung to me, kissing back without hesitation. He shifted in my arms, situating himself on my lap as he desperately pressed closer to me.

I hummed, deepening the kiss as I kept him close. I was savouring this moment, hoping it would never end really. I could tell Cross was the same. He looked in bliss, eyes closed and body relaxed.

Soon enough I had taken the kiss further, slipping my tongue into his slightly open mouth.

He clutched me tightly, panting as our tongues pressed together, fighting for dominance -which I easily won- in the kiss.

After about a minute of making out, I pulled back so we could breathe.

Cross was panting, his eyes hazy. But it wasn't an infected-hazy. It was a dazed and happy hazy.

I kissed his cheek before shifting him off of my lap so that I could stand up, leaving the very flustered and dazed Cross on my bed.

Making out with a half zombie probably isn't the best idea. But I'm pretty sure I'm immune anyway.

Well, that's my assumption.

Cross watched me as I looked around my room, no objective in mind really. He blinked, watching as I collapsed to the floor with a groan.

I splayed out like a starfish, mumbling nonsense under my breath.

"Nighty?"

I glanced to the side, looking up at Cross.

He was still sat on my bed, blinking curiously as he watched me on the floor. "What are you doing?"

"Dying..." I muttered, obviously joking.

Cross whined, flopping on top of me with a loud sigh. He lay on top on me, resting his chin on my covered sternum as he looked up at me.

I peered down at him, crossing my arms behind the back of my head to elevate myself. "Hi there."

Cross giggled, nuzzling me. "Heya."

A sudden cough from behind us made me tilt my head right back, blinking as the upside down figure of Error came into view. "Oh hey. Wassup?"

Cross giggled again, nuzzling my chest.

Error smirked, leaning against the doorframe as he looked the two of us up and down. "Dust just wanted me to tell you guys that the zombie hoard from yesterday seems to have moved on."

I shifted a bit, wrapping my arms around Cross, who was still on my chest. "That's good. Oh and how is Dust?"

Error pushed off the doorframe, chuckling to himself. "Oh he's back to his normal moody self, don't worry."

I laughed. "I won't."

With that, Error left, snickering to himself.

I wrapped my arms around Cross before suddenly rolling over, flipping Cross so that he was now bottom, with me pinning him down.

His face quickly went dark purple, but before he could become a flustered mess as normal, I tickled him.

Cross let out a squeak of surprise before giggles escaped him unwillingly. "N-Nighty no!" He cried, squirming desperately beneath me as I tickled him mercilessly.

He clamped his hands over his mouth, trying to muffle him hysterical giggles.

I considered pinning his arms above him with my tentacles, but I decided against it. It was amusing watching him trying to muffle them anyway.

I tickled him for a good few minutes until he somehow flipped us over again, leaving him on top.

He panted lightly, catching his breath back as he glared cutely down at me.

I smirked in response.

"Am I interrupting something?"

We both jolted, looking behind us to see Killer stood at the still open door that Error had of course forgotten to shut.

Cross shook his head rapidly, his face heating up.

Killer looked over our position, raising an 'eyebrow'. "You know...I would have thought you'd be on top Nightmare."

I snorted, looking up at Cross. "Oh I am top, don't worry~ I was top about a few seconds earlier actually~"

Cross' face instantly flushed and he scrambled off of me, sitting down on my bed instead.

I stayed on the floor, looking up at Killer as he snickered to himself.

"Well I'll leave you two to do your thing~" He purred as he left.

"Hey shut the doo–"

Too late. He was already gone.

I sighed loudly, making a tentacle wrap around the door handle and shut it.

Cross yawned from the bed, making me glance over at him. "Tired?"

He nodded slightly, reaching out for me. "I need cuddles..."

I snickered in amusement, but did as he said, climbing in bed with him.

He immediately pulled me down, snuggling up to my side as I pet his skull lightly. "So snuggly..."

I pushed his face into my chest, cuddling him close as he purred. "Hey...you haven't had another little infection jolt since this morning..."

Cross nodded, sighing happily before wincing. "My arm has been itching horribly though..."

I reached down, taking his injured wrist in my hand and rubbing over it lightly with my thumb. "Just try not to think about it..." I murmured, kissing his cheek.

He nodded, wrapping both of us up in the blankets before going limp, his breathing turning soft and even.

I pet him as he slept, sighing.

He really didn't have much time left...
