---Killer's POV----

The room was quiet, all of us watching as Nightmare ripped a table up out of frustration.

We had all told him that we couldn't just go running off to save Cross straight away for multiple reasons.

Reason one; going back to Lilitown where X is guaranteed to be, we'd practically be handing all the kids over to him on a silver platter. Maybe we'd be able to protect some of them, but no way all of them.

Reason two; we can't just all go off suddenly without a plan. Not to mention half the people here would be terrified out of their minds going there. And we can't just leave some people here in case this whole thing is a set up and X is expecting us to leave the 'weaker' people here along with the kids so that he can ambush them and take the kids.

And reason three; Nightmare can't go alone. He'd be signing himself up for suicide.

So now Nightmare was currently ripping a table up out of frustration, yelling things as he smashed it to the ground, splitting the wood and breaking it completely.

"This is bullshit!" He hissed, glaring at all of us with such hatred you'd think we'd handed Cross over to X or something. "If all of you are all too scared to go there then I'll go myself!"

"Nightmare..." Dream murmured, walking up to him. "I know you're worried about him, and you want to save him as quick as possible...but you know you can't do it alone... Plus, can you really just leave your kids here alone?"

"I..." Nightmare trailed off, glancing over at his kids. "I-I can't just...Cross..."

His kids walked over, almost bringing Nightmare into a group hug. "It's okay Dad...we'll get him back...you just need to wait..."

"B-But I don't want to..."

"We know...we know..."

I sighed, watching as Dream slowly walked back over to me, his previously weary expression turning to one of embarrassment as I smirked suggestively at him, patting the dusty spot next to where I was sat. "Join me Dreamy."

He huffed, rolling his eyes as he sat down next to me, his face tinted slightly yellow.

I smirked, letting my back rest against the wall as I let out a soft hum and closed my eyes. Upon the feeling of something pressing against my shoulder lightly, I opened my eyes again, feeling my face flush at the sight of Dream leant against me, his eyes closed. "Comfortable?"

Dream huffed, keeping his eyes closed as he nodded. "As a matter of fact, yes."

I snickered, reaching out a hand to pull his hood down and pet the top of his skull lightly. "Good."

"I'm sorry, by the way..." Dream mumbled, shifting closer to me.

I blinked. "Sorry for what...?"

"Keeping my identity secret and all that...I would have revealed myself ages ago...but I thought I'd have a better chance with you if I kept my identity secret..."

I sighed, shifting Dream suddenly so that his head rested on his lap, making his face flush deeply. "I'd have accepted you no matter what Dreamy~"

He blushed darker, looking up at me. His pupils were no longer cold and icy, they were soft and mellow, even prettier than before. "I-I...I love you Killer..."

I snickered, kissing his cheek softly. "I love you too Dreamy~"

---Pj's POV----

I yawned softly, leaning against the person sat down next to me, who just so happened to be Fresh.

"So what now...?" I mumbled, subconsciously nuzzling my face into his arm.

Fresh blushed slightly, glancing away to the side. "Uh...watch Nightmare rip apart another table as he has a panic attack...?"

I rolled my eyes, shaking my head. "It'll be you he rips up next if he hears you."

Fresh chuckled softly, but dropped the subject after that, clearly seeing what I meant. "Well...what do you want to do...?"

"Maybe sleep..." I mumbled, looking at him. "I mean, the last time we slept is after we broke Geno and you out. Which was a while ago."

Fresh glanced down to his sleep watch fastened around his wrist, blinking. "Well we have been awake for literally over twenty four hours now. It's six in the morning now."

"Oh lord that's when I normally wake up." I groaned, leaning against him more as I got comfy.

"Well maybe you can have a rest day?" Fresh suggested, snickering.

"Mmm...that sounds like a really good idea..."

Fresh chuckled, looking down at me. "So, are you enjoying the life of a criminal?"

"Pff, hell no." I snorted, closing my eyes. "Being a cop has its dangers and risks, but being a criminal is a one way ticket to hell. Literally. You're always on the run, at risk of being caught, possibly ending up in prison for life. There's literally no positives to it!"

Fresh laughed, shaking his head. "I think you'll find it's the complete opposite to what you just said. Being a criminal gives you such a adrenaline boost, the running keeps you fit, you don't have to spend every day doing the same thing on repeat for your job, and most importantly, you're free."

"So are you saying that I'm trapped in my current life?"

"Oh yes. You we're born into being a police officer, didn't have a choice."

"I wanted to be one!" I protested, weakly slapping his arm.

"Eh, still. The life of a criminal tops over the life of a cop in every single way."

"As a cop you don't have to risk your life for food."

Fresh blinked, wincing. "Alright. Maybe there is one benefit to being a cop instead of a criminal.

"Oh you know there are loads more than one." I muttered, letting out a soft yawn.

He hummed, smirking in amusement. "I could argue over this all day. But you seem so tired that I'll have to win the argument as you fall asleep."

I glared at him, trying to keep my eyes open. My non-existent eyelids felt heavy, and before I could prevent it, I could feel myself slipping into the comforting embrace of sleep.

"Heh, Night Jammy."

"Night...Fresh..."

---Desire's POV----

I hummed softly, watching my parents as they slept, cuddled up happily in each other's arms. Not a care in the world. I had originally been snuggled up in between them, but I couldn't sleep so wriggled my way out.

So now here I am, watching my parents and some others sleep.

Sprinkles parents were half asleep, mumbling sleepily to each other as they  went down on the floor, Dust on his back while Blue basically fell asleep before he could lie down, resulting in him flopping down on Dust's chest.

The one with black tear marks was awake, but the guy with him was asleep, having his head resting in the other's lap, purring softly as he pet his head.

Pj and the colourful guy had fallen asleep, leant against each other softly. Well, I assumed the colourful one was asleep. His shades covered his eyes so I couldn't be certain. But Pj was definitely asleep.

Ink and Error had passed out a few minutes, hugging each other weakly as they slept. Their other kid, who I believe is called Gradient, was curled up asleep a meter away from them.

The odd glitchy one with the wound on his chest and the cloaked cop were both asleep. The glitchy one had made Blue heal his parters shoulder earlier, seeming in a great panic about it.

The darker dressed of their kids was asleep, snoring softly. Goth and his friend were still awake, sat cross legged opposite each other, whispering softly.

The tentacled one had finally stopped ripped things apart, and was now curled up in a corner, his kids all around him as he hugged himself, still awake.

So nearly everyone was asleep.

I sighed, feeling myself start to get quite sleepy as I yawned softly, planning to flop down and sleep.

"Hai Desire!"

Or not.

I groaned sleepily, looking to my side to see Sprinkle smiling innocently up at me, the cutest expression ever on his face. "Mmm...heya Sprinkle. Aren't you tired?"

"Well." He frowned. "I am, but I'm also cold, so I can't get to sleep. And I don't want to accidentally wake up my parents by snuggling up to them. So here I am."

I rolled my eyes, opening my arms. "Come on then."

His face heated up slightly and he blinked quickly, looking up at me. "A-Are you serious?"

I nodded, smirking. "Come on then, I'm tired and want to get to sleep."

Sprinkle didn't waste another second and jumped into my arms, purring loudly as he snuggled up to my chest.

I yelped in surprise, blushing deeply as we both laid down together, hugging softly. "Heh, sleep well Sprinkle."

He was already passed out, purring happily in my arms as I rubbed the top of his skull.

I laughed softly, pulling him closer as I closed my eyes. "So cute..."
