PROTECTIVE [Dreamtale Nightmare x reader]

♤Filler♤

There stood a human, a small one in fact. Nightmare was looking for his lover around the castle, until he had stumbled upon the child. What was this abomination and how did it get inside? Picking it up with much distaste he inspected it, realizing it shared multiple traits of his lover. It had [H/C] hair, [E/C] eyes, and even the same necklace he gave them!

   "Night Night?" It spoke in a cute tone, it made him flinch.

  There was silence, "...no fucking way...[Y/N]?"

"Fuck! Fuck!" They yelled giggling as they hugged him.

"Wait- hey don't say that only adults can say that-" he paused, so this was [Y/N], no child would be comfortable hugging him with so much negativity. "What happened...was it Dream?"

   Nightmare began to drift away in his thoughts. I'll explain, hello reader, Dream had intact something to do with [Y/N] returning to their child. Being determined to fish them out of his brothers "evil" clutches he went through your memories while sleeping, he stumbled upon the ones where they were a kid.

If only Dream wasnt a klutz, pulling out a nice memory he had dropped it and it shattered, waking up with a jolt [Y/N] was now a child, just like the memory Dream had picked out. Sadly, their soul never changed making his theory be debunked. Another theory another day!

[Y/N] wasnt too happy about the lack of attention Nightmare was giving and began to loudly pout, grabbing his attention. Oh boy. With an annoyed grunt he held them close as he made his way to the kitchen. Horror and Cross must be there, after all, he restocked the food supply. That meant more chocolate and more food for Horror to share with his brother.

Walking in Cross instantly took notice of the young child, "And where did you get that child from exactly?" He asked giving his boss a sceptical look.

"This is [Y/N], I have no fff-" he looked at the child as he continued to make an f noise. "-flipping idea what happened, but I found them like this."

[Y/N] made grabby hands targated towards Cross and his jacket, and Nightmare extended them over. "So, what your saying is you dont know why but your [boyfriend/girlfriend] is a child now?" Horror spoke. "Not going to lie, they do look adorable as a child. Their cheeks look like mochi."

Sliding the child away from Horror, Nightmare began to speak. "Don't say that. What I wanted to ask if you all can take care of them while I go look for what caused this  and how to reverse it." Before Cross could object he shoved the child onto him. "Thanks, and don't destroy anything."

The two skeletons exchanged looks before looking at the child who seemed to be enjoying snuggling up to Cross, his fluff very comforting to them. Horror opened the fridge and grabbed some salami, and waved it infront of [Y/N] like an animal. They took a few bites before snuggling back up to Cross.

  "Wanna go place responsibility on the others too?" Cross suggested. If something happened they were all going down, it wasnt just gonna be those two.

"Yup." Horror popped the 'p' as he walked out of the kitchen.

Both of them walked into the living room where the remainder of the skeletons [not Nightmare, he was off to his work room] were located. All of them looking at the two with a confused look. Well all but one..

"WHOA! A kid! Where did you come from buddy!" Killer ran up to the two, instantly grabbing the child.

Dust and Error gave them questioning looks as Red just sat there confused. When did Cross have a kid? Apparently Dust had the same question, "Cross when did you get a kid? And did Nightmare seriously let it in here?"
