Killing Fear (NF x Gender-Neutral! Reader)

Chapter 3, I Love You (Y/N)...

I woke up, standing up. I seemed to be having an out-of-body experience. I saw my body get up as I stepped back, a black-painted smile was on my face; Fear was in my body. Fear walked into the bathroom and Nate got up, I ran to Nate and waved my hand in front of his face. "Nathan!! Nathan!!!" my voice came from the bathroom, "He can't hear you, (Y/N). Nor can he see or feel you. You're just a spirit." I heard the tap running. I gritted my teeth. 'Shit.. what am I going to do...?' I sat on the floor. The tap shut off and Fear walked out of the bathroom, the smile was gone. I flipped off Fear as he just smiled and sat beside Nate who was on the bed like usual. I got up and sat on the chair, watching Fear make conversation with Nate as me. "Good-morning Nate, what's up?","Morning (Y/N), I'm doing fine. How about you?" he scrolled his phone, he couldn't tell it wasn't me. "I'm actually doing amazing! I wanna go out for a coffee.","But your wound.." Fear stopped Nate and pulled up my shirt and revealed that the wound was completely healed and just a scar, both me and Nate's eyes widened.

"Looks like it's healed! Nice.","Didn't the doctor say you had-" Fear stopped him again, "-14 more days until I could leave? Yes, but who cares? I'm bored and I wanna do something." He's doing a good job on being me, props to him. "Uh, alright. Anywhere you want to go?","Maybe a diner, I'm more hungry than thirsty." Nate nodded and got up, putting his phone in his pocket. They both walked out that door like it was nothing, I was a little blown away on how Nate didn't even think I was different. I sighed and followed them, they walked into a random diner nearby and got a table near the window. I sat on the table in between them, in hopes of annoying Fear. Fear gave an unimpressed face at me when Nate wasn't looking, I chuckled. They both ordered, Fear actually ordered something I was allergic to so I laughed some more, he was going to suffer. "(Y/N) didn't you say you were allergic to that?" 'Goddamnit Nate! Why do you have to be so gosh darn nice!?' I facepalmed. "Of course, I'm just tired; that's all." He smirked and put it back down.

I crossed my arms and turned to Nate. "One second, I need to use the bathroom.","Of course!" He smiled and Nate left for the bathroom. I got down and followed Nate, he entered the males bathroom, Fear didn't follow to be respectful. "Nate..!" I waved my hand in front of his eyes, he was staring at himself through the mirror. "This is pointless. He's never going to notice me." I sighed and leaned against the wall. "(Y/N)'s acting strange..." I turned to him, he noticed! "I hope they're not sick or something...","Nate!! I'm not sick! Shit! You can't hear me..." I then got an idea, I took in a breath; maybe I could possess Nate? Fear said I was a spirit. I slapped him in the back of his head, it went through. I smirked and ran right into him, I came directly out the other side and he shivered. "Damnit!" I did it again, and again, and again. "The hell is wrong with me...?" He splashed his face with water. I then went straight for the point and ran directly into him, I didn't come out the other end. "Shit...!" My voice came out as Nate's. "I can't believe that actually worked!" I quietly laughed and left the bathroom. Fear didn't seem to notice anything had happened so I was celebratory on the inside.

I waved to Fear, "I'm back, I just had to quickly clean myself up." I was not used to my voice being Nate's, though the voice in my head didn't change. "Oh okay I thought you ditched me haha." I took a second 'Should I screw around with Fear for a while or should I just tell him what I did?' I mentally shrugged and sat down, 'I'll mess around for like an hour.' I looked down at what Nate ordered, fries. "So you've been acting strange lately, (Y/N), I think you're sick.." Fear smiled, "I'm fine Nate, I'm just tired like I said." It felt weird talking to myself in Nathan's POV. "Alright then." I practically inhaled those fries, Nate was starving before I entered. "Nate, you seem pretty quiet, are you okay?","Yes I was just starving." That time I wasn't bluffing. "Okay.. I'm just being careful, I want you to be okay." It felt weird having myself tell me that. I nodded and grabbed Nate's wallet as the waitress walked over to the table. I counted some money until she stopped me, "No, no.","What..?" I raised a brow, "It's on the house! I love your music." She smiled, "I insist.","No! No, really." I sighed, "At least take this tip." I put 25$ on the table and got up, leaving with a wave. Fear followed afterwards, still unknowing of how I wasn't actually Nate.
