Let’s meet MintChoco!Cross
(Click for better quality….)
His origin comic link is here.
I would like to clarify that only Cross became this ‘food-like,’ monster out of the crew. Nightmare plunges her corruption into her pets patients’ souls—which completely rid their negativity (existing and potential), as well as place a protective barrier on their very being. Due to that, the crew can eat lots of weird food and drink potions that, in any normal case would transform or harm them, like it is nothing.
Cross was a very new recruit, he hadn’t had the chance to get that ‘protection,’ and he ate the sweet treat that made him into this minty creature.
Nightmare felt awful for this, she wishes she could’ve been quicker, responsible.
She tries to cure his ailment to no avail, he was stuck like this until the foreseeable future (or until XGaster manages to retrieve him, but that might take years…)
Feeling a tad guilty, she keeps him close, pampering him. That leads her to become extremely attached to him. She can’t manage to even nestle her corruption into his soul, she just can’t. Not that she has to, he seems much more ‘chilled-out,’ than when she first met him.
The brownie didn’t actually make him ‘perpetually high,’ in a sense. He is technically inebriated, but think of someone having a small joint instead of ‘lots.’
(I do not smoke so I don’t know the slang for ‘someone who is very very high from marijuana usage.’)
The brownie made him more ‘Classic-like,’ in his behavior. He may have some tendencies that is like his old self, same with the part of him that resembles Swap!Sans, but the brownie sort of ‘enhanced’ his Classic!Sans attributes.
Due to this he stays close to Nightmare. Being pampered all the time. Relaxing on her lower tentacles like it’s a bed especially made for him. Sometimes, he even snacks on Nightmare’s body and clothes—since they taste like strawberry-flavored treats, he greatly enjoys it. Nightmare does too… maybe a little too much.
She never tells him she loves it, but he can tell. He indulges in her, as a form of worship.
MintChoco!Cross is constantly chilly, so he likes to wear robes and poofy sweaters and jackets. They don’t help much but they feel nice. To feel actual warmth he stays close to Nightmare.
Nightmare and MintChoco!Cross never are an established relationship, but they are undoubtedly close.
She gives him special access to—everywhere. Sitting next to her when dining. On her lap when she is on her throne. Next to her in bed. They’re extremely close. Attached.
She tries to bury it deep down, but she knows that Cross will eventually leave her. Either by being saved by BlueberrySorbet!Dream or by being reset by XGaster. MintChoco!Cross knows this isn’t forever too (not the specifics on how this will end, but he knows this is somewhat temporary) so he treats this like an extended vacation.
(Do not fool yourself, or let me fool you. This is not a healthy relationship dynamic. But if you’re anything like me, toxic Yuri is in my blood)
Anyway hope you enjoyed!! Feel free to ask more questions :3
