Fading Flowers

Them.

Nightmare like anyone else felt feeling more than negative, despite being the guardian and/or king of Negativity. And of course that means he felt happiness, sadness, anger, what ever emotion used to describe laughter, and well Love.
He did infact love. More than one person actually. It was his gang, he's gotten to know them and slowly fallen in love. The first one was Killer.
He had gotten to know killer quite a while ago, and recruited him next came dust, horror and eventually error and cross. He never thought he'd fall in love with each and everyone of them and their quirks.

Nightmare couldn't help but feel his soul speed up and swoon when Horror made disturbing but funny dark jokes, when killer swore to never betray, hurt, or leave him or the gang, when dust would play his pranks on him although they were annoying, when cross would hide his chocolate and get so adorably mad when error stole them, and when Error looked at him and told him that he was important.
He loved each and every one of them so much.... But.........

Today was the day, the day of a raid nightmare was planning to gather new supplies in a new au made called SuppliesTale. Awfully convenient and probably would be more creative if the author was creative in the least bit or actually thought for more than 10 seconds.(hey! 3=<)
Nightmare got ready as per usual and forced the others to get ready aswell. Weirdly enough everyone seemed overly happy lately. It was weird. Different. So he asked "why are you guys so happy lately" but to the others it sounded like he didn't want them to be happy. So of course he wasn't told.
The raid went as per usual and when the stupid stars as he called them, showed up something seemed different. Cross and dream fake attacked each other, not landing hits, blue and error also kept 'slipping up', horror and dust seemed to work together which is unusual and killer kept spacing out. Once the fight ended and they lost as per usual he blew up "WHAT WAS THAT!? NONE OF YOU WERE EVEN TRYING!" nightmare yelled.
The gang looked at each other communicating with their eyes and then error sighed "Nightmare. We have something to tell you"
Nightmare was expecting they broke something, but didn't expect "We're all leaving."
"... What?" Did he hear that right?
Dust then spoke "We're all moving out."
"What, why!?" He was angry and confused, a part of him felt despair.
"Well me and horror.... we're engaged. And well the gang just doesn't fit with us anymore. Sorry." Dust mumbled almost all of that while the rest admitted things
Cross."I'm with Dream and we'll I don't wanna accidentally hurt him in our fights so I'm leaving the gang, sorry man"
Then Error."I'm with blue and I just feel more safe with him is all."
And the one that hurt the most.
Killer.
"I'm getting married to Outer and moving in with him. I can't stand to be away."
Nightmare was left in silence. He felt his soul crack in anguish, he could feel his aura take over over half the multiverse with his despair. He watched as one by one each of his gang members left through portals, all looking back but killer. Then it closed.

His 'ears' were ringing, he was such to his 'stomach', he felt as if he'd throw up. They promised they wouldn't abandon him, they promised to not hurt him, to protect him if he returned it. And he did, oh he did it as best he could, he Would council dust when he was having his episodes, he gave horror enough food to feed his whole au, he made sure error didn't fall into insanity, he tried to help cross with his au problem, he helped killer feel again. And yet they left him, hurt him.
It was hard to breathe, he felt as if he'd puke, he could feel it coming up his throat, but instead of puke coming up, in his hand was a Red petal, covered in blood, his own blood. He stared at it. How'd It get in him and why'd he cough it out.
Now he could just think how he loved each and every one of his gang but.....

They Didn't Love Him
