PROTECTIVE [Dreamtale Nightmare x reader]

《12》"Emotions"

Nightmare let out a deep sigh, his mind racing to what possibilities could come from this disaster. It has been two weeks, two weeks since his brother shot the one he loved.

   Yes, Nightmare has come to terms with his feelings towards the human. It's been what, a year -according to the au that [Y/N] came from- since he has known the human. And he has fallen into a deep love and admiration for them.

   Ever since the first two days of the frail human not being awake with the skeletons, things have changed. They have changed as a group, and as monsters themselves. All in good ways, and hopefully [Y/N] will become more comfortable with them now, and vise versa. Two skeletons more than the rest of the group.

Starting off with Error, He has become more open with the group and why he started to destroy the aus. The demon child known as Chara had destroyed his timeline, he was left in the save screen like Geno. But before he died he teleported himself into the void where he lost all hope and once he gained the determination to destroy his old timeline he glitched out. The poor skeleton cried so much when he got to his au...not remembering his name he calls himself Error. He only truly remembered the purpose the Geno before him gave him, to destroy the timeline and au.

Dust had shown his softer and kinder side. They also found out he was a large flirt, that would get on Nightmares nerves if he tries to flirt with [Y/N]. His motives were simple, he was tired of Chara killing everyone, so he killed everyone himself before taking care of that little demon. That au is now just monster dust and him -and papyrus.

Horror, his was slightly more depressing. At first, the bloodied skeleton was more than hesitant to tell them what happened to him to make him join, and be considered evil. Undyne, she was the queen in his au, an awful ruler he might add. Everyday, they would starve, and that fish would ask for more portions of food, making them do anything for a bite to eat...even if it mean eating other monsters, and any human. This skeleton, he was a surprise to the gang, he was rather bubbly in his own way, he was kind, gentle -since he has known them for years- and showed his adoration for food.

Nightmare was VERY swift about his. Only claiming his brother neglected whenever he attempted to tell him that the village people Dream considered friends harmed and bullied him. And he ate his own apple, the apple of negativity giving him the form he has now. While his younger brother owns the apple of positivity, but hasnt eaten his. The goopy skeleton become kinder, and less loud and harsh towards them.

   Killer had a similar story to Dust, but, instead of getting tired and going absolutely nuts, he had actually made a deal with the demon, making HATE pour out of his eye sockets, and his soul become a target. Due to the determination now in his system. He well, he just acted the same

Cross didn't have much to say, only mentioning his au was destroyed due to Xgaster. Partially Xchara and his as well, but not much of his was exiting, but he did mention he met Ink the second day he was left alone with only Xchara as company. Just like killer, he acted the same, but showed Horror his enthusiasm for tacos.

   All of the things the book had given Nightmare advice for had worked, all but one. He hadn't gotten the chance to tell [Y/N] his feelings, the feelings the king had only realized he had the second he saw them take the hit.

  One thing he had clear, why, why would they jump infront of an arrow to take the blow for him? Nightmare would have lived, his brother can't kill him unless he hits his SOUL -that was a black apple, but mini- directly. They didnt know that, and yet they took the blow. Why? He couldnt wrap his skull around this, first the book, then this. Can't he get a break? Just one week.

   Cross and Killer walked into the room [Y/N], was resting. Their breathing was steady, better than the week prior, they felt awful. Killer was knocked out, Error had later informed him that they had indeed healed him up, along with Horror and Dust. Cross, well he felt like he could have, no he should have done more to help them, not just sit there and be usless, watching. Maybe with the help of Blueberry, he could pick up healing?
