If I had to pick a favorite person, besides Papa of course, It'd have to be Cross.

Papa being busy with stuff or going out left me alone. My litter mates, on the rare times I did want to play, somewhat let me join their games.

But here I didn't have many activities to occupy me. So I began getting bored and looked for a friend.

Killer and Dust were more serious and to busy to play with.

Horror was fun, but still to busy.

Nightmare read me stories and let me nap on him while he worked. He was nice, but still not playful.

Cross was all for fun. He was almost never busy for play.

And It didn't matter what I wanted to do. Boardgames, hide and seek, cards, or exploring. Anything I wanted he jumped on board with.

Today we were out in Nightmares garden making flower crowns.

I made mine out of blue and white wildflowers with a few clovers. It's patchy but I think it looks cool.

Cross made his with red and yellow flowers. His was much, MUCH, better than mine.

He looks over at mine and frowned slightly. "Don't you think that's a bit to big to wear, bud? Unless it's a lei like mine, it should be small enough to sit on your head."

I shook my head with a smile. "It's not for me. It's for Papa!"

Cross smiled back. "I think we had the same idea."

"Same idea for what?" Papa walked into the garden. He looked tired.

I scurried up and hugged his legs. He and Cross chuckled.

I waved for him to come sit down next to me. When he sat down I plopped the crown on his head. It was a bit uneven and covered half his face but i think he looked pretty.

"I made you a flower crown!"

Papa smiled happily as he adjusted it onto his head better. "Who taught you how to make this? It's really good, Gray. Couldn't have done better myself."

"Cross taught me!"

Papa let out a small ah.

Cross leaned in a bit and tossed his flower crown around Papas neck like a lei. "I made this for you too."

Papa smiled softly. "Thanks Cross. It's pretty."

Cross gave him a nod before turning to me. "Now how about we make some bracelets to put on him as well?"

I nodded exited.

We began to make several more flower crowns and leis before the day had ended. Papa ended up covered in flowers.

But the whole time I couldn't help but notice the way Papa stared at Cross.

It made me wonder.

Maybe Cross was Papas favorite person to.
