Cross after a few minutes slowed down his pace with your panting body rushing behind him sluggishly as you caught your breath when the two of you stopped. Your gaze darted to the glistening pink vial he had clutched in his skeletal hand while his eyelights was closing examining it with great curiosity beaming on his skull. You walked back to the skeleton to hunch over the item as well intently with a small hum until you thought of an idea that you voiced eagerly with a light hearted tone. You suggested how he should try the vial to see what it would do for an experiment.

Cross contemplated for a few moments with a thoughtful expression brushing over his skeletal face while weighing out the outcomes that could happened before mentally ditching it and nodded enthusiastically to your idea. He popped off the heart screw from the glass into his pocket, downing the vibrant liquid in his non existent throat before putting down the now empty glass with a soft thud.

His eyelights widened widely as it started to dimly glow with some type of euphoria that was shining from the substance he ingested. You watched with a slightly concerned expression while being caught anticipating what was gonna happen. Cross turned his skull to you with a sudden star struck look with a dreamy gloss coloring his ‘eyes’ while his demeanor turned to be much more relaxed.

“That was something…”

The skeleton murmured with a distant whisper trailing his voice while still staring at you with that affection gaze, letting out a hearty sigh with his eyelights still attached to you when leaning his head onto his palm propped upwards on their knee.
