From Within (Little Nightmares X Male Reader)

Long Live the Night

Y/N was currently sitting in The Lady's lap. It was not somewhere that he would ever think he would be, but he was enjoying it.

The woman had this motherly aura, Y/N naturally enjoyed being her presence.

"U-Um, Mrs. Lady?", Y/N asked.

"Yes boy?", she responded.

"What am I doing in your lap?"

"I wanted to talk to you. It seems that because you are a child I still want to dote on you.", she said with obvious glee in her voice.

"Oh, uh what did you want to talk about?"

"I have a special ability, one that deals with the soul."

"That's pretty cool. What does that have to do with me though?"

"The soul is a very peculiar thing. It shows the personality of someone."

"And you want to see mine?"

"You catch on quickly."

"Well go ahead..."

The Lady touches Y/N's head. Slowly darkness overtakes them both and the Lady opens her eyes on a different plane.

She see's that there's no one around its only darkness around her.

"Where...?"

A large pair of eyes peer at The Lady.

"What are you?"

"Leave. You do not belong here."

The Lady stares in fear.

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

There is nothing in his soul.

It is nothing, but an empty void.

An infinite one.

The Lady takes her hand off Y/N's head and looks at him.

"Are you okay?"

Y/N reaches out his hand to touch her, but she flinches.

This boy was beyond normal and it scared her.

He was functionally dead.

Without anything in their soul he will have a metaphorical hunger.

It could be literal or take the form of something else.

Little did she know it was Y/N's desire to kill.

The only thing holding him back was the blue sleeping mask on his face and Yellow.

If he takes that blue sleeping mask off or Yellow disappears the world will burn.

It may have been an exaggeration, but she wholeheartedly believed it.

"Uh, Mrs. Lady?"

"Huh? Oh!"

"Are you okay? Should I call for help?"

"No sweetheart I-I am fine."

"Oh alright."

Y/N slowly moves off of her lap and on to the ground.

"I'm going to go to the cafeteria...Are you sure you don't need any help?"

"I'm fine. You may leave."

Y/N bows his head and leaves the room.

Y/N walks through the hallway of the Maw, thinking about what to with Six.
