~ Sans AUs x Reader OneShots ~

~ Nightmare x Reader ~

Long time no see, ey? I'm not quite dead yet- QwQ

Just a heads up, this OneShot was rushed a little bit cause I legit haven't written anything for so long

- This timeline takes place in a much more modern setting and at a time where the star and bad sanses are at peace -

- Nightmare -

Nightmare stared down in his dark reflection in the steaming black coffee, he slowly shook the mug in a circular motion.

Nightmare really liked the coffee he got at this one bookstore café. The atmosphere was actually very calming, and better than many of the other bookstore cafés that he's been to. He surprised himself with the fact that out of all the places he doesn't want to destroy or create mayhem are these types of café. (Mainly cause it has like two of his favorite things.) The mellow atmosphere and rich smell of coffee mixed with new books and paper.

Plus this place made coffee p e r f e c t. Like no joke, the coffee was rich but not too rich, and the perfect amount of bitterness. Nightmare found himself coming back for the coffee the most. He also really liked the book selection that was there, there were many genres but he really like the fantasy and romance novels. Occasionally a really good Si Fi and dystopian.

Nightmare lifted the glass to his mouth and took a sip of the bitter richness. He then looked down at his book, he was almost done with it already. He normally stayed in the cafe sucked into a book. It wasn't a surprise that he finished a book rather quickly.

Normally no one there has ever bothered him while he was in his little world reading. Which he was quite happy about, he didn't really need much interaction unless he was getting a coffee.

Since he's been to this one repeatedly, the employees know that he's a regular and pretty much know his order before he has to speak. (Which I'm Nightmares opinion has made things easier for himself. Just grab a coffee, pay, read.)

There was normally this one employee that Nightmare saw on a regular basis in the café. He figured her name was (Y/N), which was displayed on her name tag on her beige apron. Though it took him a while to actually care enough to know-even memorize-her name. Took even longer for him to finally put his actual name on his orders.

Nightmare set down the book he was reading finally on the very last chapter. He look up at his surroundings. The only one in the café was the employee (Y/N), she was wiping down some counters and clearing up some space. Nightmare faced the window and saw that it was pretty close to late afternoon.

Nightmare sighed.

Maybe he could slip in another chapter before he had to head back to the castle. . . The boys are probably loosing their temper with each other. Nightmare shook his skull. I don't feel like dealing with them quite yet. Just one more-

Nightmare looked down at his book and started to read again.

(Y/N) the employee walked over to the front of the café and flipped the open sign to 'closed.' Then made her way quietly to Nightmare. He was normally the last costumer.

"Sir, it's almost time for you to leave." The woman softly spoke, bringing him back to reality. Nightmare looked up at her and glared. His glared slightly faded after realizing who it was.
