---Horror's POV----

We all froze, looking over at the unmistakable figure stood at the end of the alleyway, the visible red scarf flowing out behind him slightly as a breeze swept past.

"GENO!?"

Immediately we all ran over except for Killer and his friendboy. They walked behind us warily.

Geno winced taking a slight step back as we scrambled over. He looked exactly how I remembered. Half dead, moody, sleepy and pissed. "What are you guys doing here?!" He hissed.

"Funny." Error said with a cold laugh. "We were about to ask the exact same thing."

Geno crossed his arms over his chest, huffing. "I've just been set free. I was walking around town just to see how things have been going on. Bumping into you guys was the last thing on my mind."

"That's funny." I said. "Because bumping into you was the first thing on our minds."

Geno winced, looking away. "I know what you're going to ask...and the answer is no."

I snickered. "So you don't want us to keep your kids alive?"

"WHAT!?"

I burst out laughing, shaking my head. "Nah chill Geno. I'm just kidding. We're obviously going to ask for you to rejoin the gang again."

Geno glared at me, his eye narrowing. "Ha ha very funny. And that's what I thought. The answer is no."

Error let out a hiss of frustration. "That's exactly what Killer said at first. But then we convinced him."

Killer snorted, glaring at Error. "You mean you tied me up and smashed me to the ground until I agreed?"

"That's not what happened and you know it!" Error yelled, glaring at Killer.

Killer snickered before shrugging. "It was close enough."

Geno eyed us all warily before glancing at Gradient and Pj. "Who are they...?"

Error smirked, pulling Ink closer to him. "These-" He said dramatically, pointing at the two kids. "-Are my precious children."

Gradient rolled his eyes and Pj crossed his arms over his chest, smiling slightly.

Geno looked them, blinking. "They look a lot like Error."

Error nodded proudly, smirking. "Yup!"

"How the hell did the police not realise that they were Error's kids?"

Ink laughed uncomfortably, wincing. "I had to say I adopted."

Geno snorted and the rest of us snickered. "Poor kids."

Pj huffed. "It was fine, really."

I cut into the conversation, resting my axe over my shoulder. "So, I assumed earlier, but were those two little people with you earlier your kids?"

Geno glanced at me, nodding. "Goth and Raven. My two kids. My only kids." He glanced at me. "You and Lust have any kids?"

Lust leant against me, nodding. "One. He's eleven, called Desire."

Geno nodded before looking at Dust. "You and Blue?"

Dust smirked. "Yeah we have one as well. He's called Sprinkle. He's only nine."

"What about you Killer?"

Killer, who had been whispering to his friendboy, looked over, blinking. "Wh-What?"

"Have any kids?"

He blushed slightly and shook his head quickly. "No! And I don't want any."

Geno raised an eyebrow, eyeing up Killers friendboy. Well where are all of them?"

I stretched lazily, sighing. "We left them at the mansion with Blue, Nightmare, Cross and their five kids."

"Five?!"

"Yeah, don't ask."

Geno huffed before looking down to the side. "We've gone off topic...and I'm still not going to join you, whatever you say."

Error winced, his expression going dark. "You won't be saying that for long..."

"What?"

"Have you had a visit recently from a melting and glitching figure looking like a Gaster with a slight resemblance to Cross?"

Instantly Geno froze and he took a small step back, seeming more vulnerable than before. "H-How--..."

Error cut him off, sighing. "We all got visited as well...and we know his purpose...he's after our kids. We don't know exactly why...but he's trying to take them from us, and kill us..."

I chipped in, frowning. "Yeah, the crazy bastard nearly killed Nightmare and Cross. We only got there just in time..."

Geno looked at us in disbelief, suddenly seeming terrified over how he'd let the kids go home all by themselves. "I-I need to go."

"Geno wait." Error hissed, grabbing onto Geno's wrist. "Are you joining back or not? If you don't they could easily be killed or stollen by him so that he can use them for whatever sick purposes he's planning."

Geno went silent, clearly having a mental fight with himself in his mind. "I-I..."

"Come on Geno...none of us wanted to join back up...but we're all doing it for the kids..."

Geno let out a soft hiss and clenched his hands into fists. "Fine." He spat. "But I'm not staying with you guys now. I'm going home."

"Fair enough." I said with a shrug. "Ink knows where you live, he can take us there."

Geno glared at us all warily before turning around and walking off, muttering to himself as he got further down the alleyway.

"Byeeeee!" We called.

He didn't say bye back.

"Tch, rude." I muttered, nuzzling Lust softly.

He snickered, purring. "That's just how Geno is Horror. That's how he was fifteen years ago, that's how he is now."

I sighed, watching as Geno rounded the corner of the alleyway quickly and disappeared out of sight.

Ahahahah I'm dying inside cuz this book currently has more Afterdeath than Crossmare because of the plot line. I mean, Boii there's gonna be tons of Crossmare later. But now....

Ahaha take this random few hundred words--

---Nightmare's POV----

I looked over at Cross, smiling slightly as I saw him putting Eph to bed. I'd felt with Moonlight and Noah, and he'd done Eph. We didn't need to put Incubux and NiXss to bed, they're old enough to know what they're doing and go to sleep without a goodnight kiss.

We'd given Horror's kid and Dust's kid a room to share with Blue at their request. I don't think any of them really want to be alone in this mansion, which is fine by us.

I jumped slightly as I felt something press against my side and I looked down to see Cross hugging me sleepily. "Cross?"

He mumbled something softly, practically asleep standing up.

I sighed, leaning down to scoop him into my arms bridal-style as I walked to our shared room.

Cross purred happily, a small smile forming on his face as he looked up at me with half closed eyes. "My prince~"

I chuckled, pushing open my bedroom door with my foot. "Doesn't that make you a princess~?"

"Pff no."

"My king?"

Cross shook his head slightly, yawning. "Kings are boring. I'd be your queen. Queens are badass. Bow down to me."

I snickered, placing him down on our bed. "We can't fall in love if I'm a prince and your my queen. That's inscest sweetheart."

"Nuuuu...you can be from a different kingdom or something...and then I'll marry you and make you king..."

I got in beside him and cuddled him to my chest, loving the soft purrs he let out from my contact. "Sounds like our life story with the roles switched."

"Mmhm..." Cross was half asleep by now, his eyes closed and breathing calm as he snuggled closer to me. He pressed his face into my chest and wrapped his arms weakly around me, letting our legs tangle together as we cuddled close to each other.

I let my tentacles curl over him before going limp, letting them rest over his back as I kept my hands free to pet my fluffy smol.

Cross purred loudly, looking up me with now open eyes.

The blissful and happy expression on his face made my soul momentarily skip a beat. "You good?"

He leaned up, surprising me as he pressed our mouths together in a sudden kiss.

I closed my eye, pressing against him as I kissed back softly, cupping his face with my palm.

Eventually we both pulled away and Cross smiled sleepily, burying his face into my chest happily. "I love you, Nighty."

I sighed, hugging him closer as I closed my eye again. "I love you too, Crossy."
