(This is a mixture between a fluff and angst fic, so be warned. It's nothing crazy; I swear. Some parts will be included where Cross is not acting the same as the Fanon Cross would normally act. I hope you all enjoy!)

"Hold on a second, Ink. You're telling me that my best friend is strung up half dead in Error's void, right now? She wasn't killed during the destruction of my AU? How?! Why are you telling me this?! How do you know this?! I want answers!" Cross yells, getting angrier at the colorful skeleton in front of him. Ink looks shocked, unsure of why his friend is angry with him.

"Cross, I'm being serious. (Y/N) is alive!" He then shows him a portal like screen with her skeletal body dangling from the tightly woven strings that seem to wrap endlessly around her battered body. Not a sign of movement seems to be coming from her limp form. Steaming tears poured down Cross' face, anger boiling in his chest. "She's dead, Ink! This isn't funny! She hasn't been alive since my AU was... was..."

Ink shook his head and waved his hands frantically. "Cross, I promise I'm not lying to you! That's her and she's alive! I will get her myself if you don't believe me." The determination in his voice struck a chord in Cross. The sincerity in Ink's voice caused more tears to cascade down Cross' face, but the black and white clad skeleton knew what he had to do. "If you're telling me the truth," he then sniffles and wipes his face with his sleeve, "WHICH YOU BETTER BE! Then I'll go with you. I want to be the first one to see her face to face and not a stranger."

The artist skeleton nodded, giving Cross the information and game plan for this operation. "Just remember, we are on a rescue mission. We go in, rescue her, get out. We are NOT there to get revenge on Error; yet. Got it?" Cross only nodded, not wishing to give verbal agreement to this idea. "She better be alive, or so help me Ink I will shank a villain and it will NOT be pretty." Ink nodded, slightly afraid of the giant knife wielding skeleton beside him. "Ok..."

Ink then opened a portal for both Cross and himself to enter through. "Go in. Rescue. Return. Got it?" Cross nodded, his hood on top of his head and his emotionless facade masking his true intentions. With a quick movement, both the skeletons are off to her rescue. Not a soul, besides the skeleton dangling from the ceiling, seemed to be present. It seemed as if it were a trap, or she was forgotten.

Either way, Cross was by her in seconds. Never had he cut through Error's strings faster than at this very moment. He had her in his arms and through the portal faster than it took Ink to register Cross' presence in the void to begin with. His grip on her form seemed to tighten as he realized that it truly was (Y/N).

Her sockets seemed to hold no light as he attempted to wake her. A small flicker was all he saw as she moved her body an inch or so closer to him. The lights slowly getting brighter as she became more cognizant of where she was.

Her first reaction was the widening of her sockets and an inaudible scream attempting to leave her mouth, but nothing seemed to ring out. "(Y/N), it's me. It's your numbskull, Sans. I'm... I'm here." His tears falling and gently landing on the top of her skull. "S-sans? I-Is it really you? Where's Error?" Cross shook his head and shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know and I don't care. I have you back and that's all that matters to me. I missed you so much, my Sunshine."

"I missed you too, my Ray of Hope." She said, snuggling in the fluffy hood covering Cross' attire. C!Chara giggled, floating above the two skeletons. "Aaaw, the two mushy gushy love birds are back together again! Isn't that just precious!" Cross rolled his eyes and (Y/N) quietly giggled. Ink smiled at the sight. Cross was smiling and crying tears of joy. He finally had someone else to understand him.

After Ink and Cross had taken (Y/N) to get healed in Sci's AU, Cross decided to take her to a quiet area of Outertale.

As they began to star gaze, (Y/N) laid her head on Cross' shoulder and quietly stared up at the sky. "Thank you for saving me. You really were my knight with a giant knife." C!Chara busted out laughing and Cross shook his head, ignoring his not so friendly ghost partner. "This is exactly what I was missing and I'm so happy I have you back." "Me too, Sans. Me too.

The the 'love birds' then begin to fade away as they begin to fade into the galaxy before them. Suddenly a voice pipes up.

"Oh yeah, and screw Error! He was a jerk. He lost one round of monopoly and tied me up for over a decade. Such a sore loser." (Y/N) says, pouting into Cross' shoulder. "Yeah, he likes everything his way." Cross says, chuckling at her comment. They then lean in for a kiss as the view zooms in towards the romance.
C!Chara then begins to fake gag at the sight, ruining the moment entirely. "Keep it PG, Cross. I'm a child, remember."

"Screw off you little homicidal toddler!"

(Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed! Have a great day!)
