Contract Killers (Multiship)

Chapter 90 - Passing You Off - (Part 1)

Ink's POV

I stood in a hotel room with Nightmare standing behind me. He was fastening a brown ribbon around my waist. Today was my wedding and I was shaking out of nervousness. I looked at myself in the mirror.

Error and I decided to have our wedding in a garden. Since it was located in a different part of the state, we had to spend the last few nights in a cozy hotel. Mine and Error's suitcases were located in a corner of the room. Nightmare was with Cross in the next room over. Dream with Killer. Blue with Dust. Lust with Horror. So on and so forth.

When Nightmare was done adding detail to my dress, he stood up and lightly gripped my shoulders. He stared at my reflection. He was wearing an all black suit. The only piece of color on his body was his icy blue eye. A smile grew on his face.

Nightmare: Error is a lucky guy, Ink. You look beautiful.

Me: I don't feel like it.

Nightmare: Why not?

Me: I'm really scared. What if I mess up my vows? What if I just freeze up in front of Error?

Nightmare: Just breathe and you'll be fine.

He spun me around so he could directly look at me. He kissed me on the forehead and hugged me.

Nightmare: This is your special day, Ink. You shouldn't be worrying about these things. If someone judges you for freezing, just ignore them. They're just fucking jealous.

He calmly spoke as he wiped away my unnoticed tears. Nightmare took my brown scarf from the bed and loosely tied it around my neck. He kissed my forehead again before picking up Gray, who was resting on the bed. He took my hand and we walked out of the hotel room. When we exited the building, there was limousine waiting for us. After we stepped into the vehicle, I took Gray and sat him on my lap. Looking at my best friend, I saw him staring out the window as the town rushed by. He sighed and looked at me.

Nightmare: If Error hurts you, I won't hesitate to kill him.

I gave him a smile, reassuring him that he didn't have to worry about that. We held hands as we waited for the limo to reach our destination. Nightmare was the one that would be giving me away to Error. He was closest thing I had to family.

The closer we approached the garden, the more my anxiety grew. That's when the vehicle finally stopped. Nightmare took Gray and got out. I stayed in the car, motionless.

'Okay, Ink. You got this. Take a deep breath and get out there.'

I started fidgeting with my brown scarf and my hand began to shake. That's when a something touched my shoulder. I realized that Nightmare was standing next to the opened car door.

Nightmare: Ink, are you okay?

Me: Yeah... yeah, I'm fine.

I stepped out, praying that I wouldn't trip on my dress in the process. My mother was standing at the entrance of the large garden. She smiled at me. I hugged her and she returned the gesture.

Me: Hi mom.

Mom: Hello, Ink. It's been such a long time. You never told me you were a mother.

Me: I've been meaning to tell you. Could you hold Gray while Nightmare walks me down the aisle?

Mom: Of course.

Taking Gradient from Nightmare, I handed him to my mother. My child somehow seemed to understand what was happening. When he was secured with her, I linked arms with my best friend. Before we entered the garden, mom handed a bouquet of lilies to me.
