"Speaking of which, what was that disorder you said Killer had again?"

"It's called Narcissistic Personality Disorder its where a person has a lot of inflated sense of self-importance, it could be in thoughts, or actions depending on what the person wants. Killer has a strong desire for an excessive need for admiration. Which is why he has decided to admire Nightmare and his desire of hurting me."

Dream explained.

"We cannot hurt him much in this situation, the best way to deal with it is to talk to him..."

"Ah, I see." They both stopped their conversation once they stepped into a small shop. It was full of goods like rice, perfume, shampoo, and all sorts.

The person at the desk wore a red robe and looked like a ghost. Dream went around the store looking for things to pick up while Cross stood near the door.

"Nice weather we're having eh?" The ghost said while Cross hummed, he wasn't in the mood for small talk.

"Say, I've seen you before..."

"You have huh?" Cross looked at the ghost in his eyes. Something was quite off...

"My names napstablook... and I'm from this AU called HyperDust. Killer had sent me out to find you, and looks like I've done it."

The second he stopped talking he took out a very sharp knife and charged at Cross.

He moved to the side instantly, looking around nervously.

'Come on Dream where are you! He could've sent to people after us.'

Hearing a grunt the ghost was pinned to the ground by glowing blue spears. His head turned to the side to see Dream smiling and putting everything in a bag he was wearing.

Running up to Cross he tugged his jacket and pulled him out the door.

"Come! We have to hurry and leave this place. Killer probably sent more people after us."

"I was thinking the same thing."

The two of them started to run as far away as they can, and their predictions were correct! Seeing different types of skeletons, and fish coming after them.

Dream pulled out his knives and threw them at the others. He was sure to heal them after when everything got back to the way they were.

Cross was sure to run close to his Guardian in case any of these people wanted to try anything.

They have ran for quite some time now and decided to rest a little, both of them catching their breaths.

The positive skeleton looked in the bag and threw Cross some water and he gladly excepted.

Opening the bottle and taking a sip he heard the other start to speak.

"Since we have everything we need now... we have to get back to the others and end this once and for all. "

The guard nodded and noticed something was bothering the skeleton.

"If something is bothering you, don't be afraid to tell me. Like I said I'm your royal guard now-"

"Tell me the real reason you want to protect me!" Dream said looking down in shame. A yellow filling his face.

"It's because I love you." Cross said blatantly.

"Why would you ask me all of a sudden?"

"It's because...um, I haven't had anyone feel this way for me genuinely when running with you all the way here. I can feel your desire to protect me at all costs. "
He blushed.
