JessiePuff asked for romance and fluff

Nightmare had finally done it, he'd finally asked Cross out. Nightmare recalled how hot his face felt, the tightness in his soul, the longing for Cross to be by his side. He remembered Cross' face turn from confused, to shock, to laughter. He remembered Cross gasping for breath as tears went down his face, he clearly couldn't believe his non-existent ears. For that moment he really thought he fucked up and came across as weak compared to the soldier but he didn't. He remembered Cross saying yes to his question and asked where they should go. Out of quick panic, Nightmare told him the coffee shop, Hart's Coffee.
Dream had been ecstatic and went on and on about it to Nightmare, telling him how proud he was that he found someone, that he found Cross. Nightmare acted as though he hated the attention Dream was giving him but really it felt rather nice.

Nightmare put on a purple tunic, even though he was corrupted now, it still looked rather nice to him. He put on his golden crown, he had noticed that Cross was always interested in it. Nightmare rarely wore it but for Cross, he would do anything. Cross was Nightmare's weakness, Cross was someone he wanted to show his feelings for, Cross. . . is the most important monster to Nightmare.

Nightmare squinted in the mirror his cyan eye staring back at him as he looked at his clothes making sure they were nice. Even though they were just going to a coffee shop, he wanted to look nice. For Cross. He always found it a bit odd that his mind always drifted over to the oreo. Nightmare recalled finding Cross, the other followed him and they soon became flings to one another. Soon after that friends and now potentially boyfriends. It was all coming so fast. Was Cross really the person Nightmare would spend his life with? He hoped so.

His tentacles flicked behind him impatiently as one wagged as he thought about Cross. Oh, how Nightmare loved him. He loved how he smelt, dressed, and looked. He loved the scars on his bones, the expressions he made, his voice, his body, everything. Nightmare felt his soul melt thinking about him. His face so cyan you wouldn't be able to tell if it was Nightmare or not. Nightmare shook his head trying to get rid of the thoughts but they kept coming in. His pelvis, his laugh, his chocolate addiction, Nightmare loved it. He couldn't wait to see Cross again.

Nightmare knew Cross liked showing up to things early as Nightmare liked being places right on time. He quickly yelled to Dream that he was leaving, Dream answered with a quick okay, Nightmare teleported to the coffee shop, saving time. He was about fifteen minutes early and he knew it. He figured out Cross was usually at places thirty minutes earlier. Nightmare looked around the room seeing no trace of the oreo. Nightmare looked again, still no. Nightmare sighed in disappointment and walked into one of the lines to order him and Cross' Coffee.

When Nightmare got his and Cross' coffee he also bought a couple of croissants that the odd spider lady insisted on him buying. Nightmare sat down at one of the tables, propping his head up on his hand, waiting for his oreo to come through the door.
It had been several minutes and Cross still hadn't turned up, he was starting to think the other didn't want to come but just said he did, but Nightmare knew Cross wouldn't do that. He felt a tear prick his eye as he looked down at his watch, almost time. Nightmare's tentacles twitched very impatiently. Cross always liked petting them much to Nightmare's 'annoyance'. Geez, he couldn't wait, now Nightmare knows how Cross feels when he's just on time. Nightmare sighed and took all of his coffee.

The bell for the door rang and a friendly hello was said from the spider lady. Nightmare looked over in pure desperation and then lit up. Cross! Cross looked confused as he looked around the room wanting to find his hentai skele-lover. Nightmare's tentacles wagged lightly smacking the floor. The two's eyes met for a moment then Cross smiled, oh that stupid smile that made Nightmare's soul leap in the air and do a snoopy dance. Nightmare couldn't imagine a day without it if he did he might as well shoot himself.
Cross quickly walked over to Nightmare, Nightmare tried to look like it was a lazy smile but his tentacles were betraying him. Nightmare noticed something dark in Cross' hand.

Cross smiled more, oh that stupid smile. Cupid was going to town on their arrows. Cross slipped a bennie on Nightmare's head. "This is the one I stole from you when you first came to my house," Cross looked at the goopy one who was excited to see him. Cross quickly kissed him as Nightmare returned it. This time it wasn't because he wanted to, not because he went over to Cross' house to fuck him, no. This time was the real thing, this time, it was out of love. Who would have known? That the anti-social skeleton would find love, would be so lovesick for someone as hot, brave, and stupid as himself. Who knew? Who knew that this could possibly happen to someone who didn't feel as though he deserved it. Who knew?

The two talked for a long while, getting to know each other more than already told. Cross was so happy Nightmare remembered that he loved chocolate, he couldn't believe Nightmare had gotten him a mocha frappuccino. How lucky he really was. Out of both, all of their past lovers could and would never match up with Cross' and Nightmare's.
They talked until closing. It was obvious neither of them wanted to be separated yet so Cross had insisted that he walked Nightmare home. Nightmare didn't protest.

Cross was wearing Nightmare's bennie because Nightmare wanted him too, saying that Cross looked better in it than Nightmare, of course, Cross argued so they settled on they both had equal attractiveness with it on. Oh, how Nightmare loved the terrified of cows skeleton that made his soul dance to its own quick beat. The two's hands were intertwined with each other, clearly, everything was well between the two, no doubt that their relationship would sail. The michronome told jokes and puns often, he often flirted with Nightmare. Nightmare had never learned how to flirt, never see the point in it till now, he made it a point that he would figure it out.

They soon reached Nightmare's house much to the skeletons dismay. Cross hugged Nightmare, seeing as though no one else was around, Nightmare hugged back, never wanting to let Cross go. The two pulled away, they kissed. "Here Nightlight, " Cross pulled off the bennie and handed it to the other. Nightmare looked down at it then up at Cross. "Why don't you keep it?" Nightmare pushed it towards Cross. "Really?" Cross seemed hopeful, Nightmare nodded, Cross hugged Nightmare again. "Thanks," he breathed out. Nightmare nodded.

"I love you Nightlight,"

"Stop calling me Nightlight!" Nightmare hissed lightly, "I love you too."
