A Taste Of Hope

Chapter Nine

Nightmare let's out a low growl as he teleported into his office and his tentacles sharpen and twitch with irritation 'Goddammit!' He thought irritably. He then snapped his attention towards the sudden presence behind him as his tentacles immediately reacted on instinct and attacked the sudden intruder.

The intruder immediately teleported out of the way as they ended up launching themselves onto the carpet as a low whistle was heard right next to Nightmare, along with that annoyingly familiar voice.

"Damn boss, what's gotten you in a sour mood?" Killer asks smoothly with the same sharp grin that constantly made Nightmares bones prickle. "Killer, I'm no mood for your shenanigans." Nightmare scowled as Killers grin only seemed widen as he cocked his head "I haven't even done anything yet! Or is there something specific you want me to do boss~" He purrs as he teleported right infront of Nightmare and leaned closely towards his skull.

Nightmare narrows his socket as his frown only deepens, but a soft cyan blush, colored the corners of cheekbones, it was so faint, however, that most monsters wouldn't have noticed it, luckily, Killer wasn't like most monsters. Killers grin turned into one of triumphant as he casually leans away from Nightmare as his scowl immediately returns tenfold.

"What do you want Killer!" Nightmare snapped as Killers grin turns back into one of mischieve "You~" he said without a moment of hesitation as Nightmare fumes and all six of his tentacles immediately grabbed him. One on each leg, one on each arm, one on his waist, and one curling around his soul.

"Oooh~ Getting kinky here, aren't we boss~" Killer coos with that God forbid grin of his as Nightmare has the urge to wipe it straight off his insufferable skull "Why don't you shut up for once and whip that stupid grin off your face." Nightmare says with a warning growl as Killer let's out a light hum and tilted his head into a thinking gesture.

"Hmmm, nah." He said with no hint of remorse as his grin was as sharp as ever and his black void-like eyes stares directly at Nightmare, as if he was directly challenging him. Before Nightmare was able to respond or react in any sort of way, a soft knock was heard at the door.

Nightmare scowled as he released Killer from his hold and turned his attention towards the door and opened it with ease "WHAT?!" He yells with sudden aggression as one of the castle servants yelped "Ch-cheif Horror says t-to tell you d-dinner is ready." They stutter a little with fear in their voice "Tell Horrir that we'll be down in a second." Nightmare says with a low growl as he closed the door without a second thought and turned towards Killer.

"I'll deal with you later, Killer." Nightmare says as Killer grins "I'll be looking forward to it then, boss~" Killer says smoothly with a wink as he did an exaggerated bow and teleported out of the office.

Nightmare scowls but couldn't help the cyan tint at the corners of his cheekbones as his chest rumbles with frustration "Why are so insufferable?" He says softly as he exits the office and started making his way to the dinning area.
