You Shouldn't Have Grabbed Him

🖤🧸 ~14~ 🧸🖤

This took the better part of 3 days to publish since I've been dealing with allergies.

It honestly felt weird seeing Nightmare roam around freely,   observing the animatronics.   I tried to not look at him and possibly draw attention I didn't need,  but it was adorable to see his fascination.   At one point he just leaned against the wall and watched everyone like a hawk.   The day passed really quickly,  and in what felt like minutes I was getting all packed up to go home.    As I was driving Nightmare sat in the passenger seat,  bringing a strange thought to mind.   What would he look like if the car vanished and he was still floating in the direction of home?   I bit my tongue to prevent myself from laughing,  because it would look hilarious.     I pulled up the drive way and held back more laughter as he phased through the car and front door.
I was in the house not long after,  eating dinner while he watched.   His hand moved through mine,   trying in vain to grab it.
He sighed and crossed his arms.

"Didn't know you'd want to touch me this much."    I giggled and cleaned my empty plate.    He gave a frustrated grunt and walked up to my room,  mumbling to himself.    I did,  however,  manage to catch the pink tint on his cheeks.   "Tsundere much?"  I mumbled with a smile.
I ran up the stairs and got my stuff together for a shower,   I'll just let Nightmare know before I head into the bathroom.
"I'm taking a shower,  I'll be right back."
He just glanced at me and nodded.
His cheeks got redder,   it looked like he was thinking of something too.

I wanted to be quick in the shower,  but knowing me I took around 30 minutes.
(True story,  I love my showers 😙)
I came out clean and refreshed.
I plopped down on my bed,  right in front of Nightmare who was standing to the left side of my bed.   I let out a content sigh into my pillow,  climbing under the covers and closing my eyes.  

In an instant I woke up in the dream realm to an uproar.

Goldie and Nightmare were at each other's throats,  glaring daggers.   Everyone else was trying to pry them apart,  so I got up and got between the two and had a hand on each chest to seperate them.   Nightmares eyes went straight to the hand on his chest while Goldie continued to glare at Nightmare.
"What in Fazbear's name is going on?"
I could feel Nightmare's heart beat faster and harder,  only to be gone a second later since he stepped back.
"He followed you into the realm of Reality!
If he keeps doing that for a prolonged period of time he could cause both realms to collapse and fuse,  causing a massive disaster!   And let's not forget he bonded with you,  something that should never be done by any dream being!"
Nightmare was quick to fire back.

"I didn't mean to!  I couldn't control the realm hopping issue!   You want to bring laws and safety into this?  Fine.   My gut is screaming at telling me she's in danger,   starting from the very moment she set foot here!   I thought it was us,  but no.   It's not us,  it was never us.   We are but mere manifestations of a child's nightmare induced by his psychotic father,   forced to haunt him and his brother after the boy was bitten.   By the ORIGINAL Fredbear no less.
So think about it,  F̷r̷e̷d̷b̷e̷a̷r̷ .
S̷h̷e̷ t̷o̷o̷k̷ y̷o̷u̷r̷ p̷l̷u̷s̷h̷t̷o̷y̷ H̷I̷S̷ s̷o̷n̷ h̷a̷d̷,̷  a̷n̷d̷ n̷o̷w̷ s̷h̷e̷'̷s̷ a̷ w̷a̷l̷k̷i̷n̷g̷ t̷a̷r̷g̷e̷t̷.̷ "
His eyes started to glow yellow as he stalked closer to Goldie,  his voice sounding like his animatronic form.  Slightly deeper and a bit glitchy.
"T̷h̷i̷n̷k̷ a̷b̷o̷u̷t̷ i̷t̷,̷  o̷r̷ a̷r̷e̷ y̷o̷u̷ g̷o̷i̷n̷g̷ t̷o̷ c̷o̷n̷t̷i̷n̷u̷e̷ t̷o̷ j̷u̷d̷g̷e̷ m̷y̷ e̷v̷e̷r̷y̷ a̷c̷t̷i̷o̷n̷ t̷i̷l̷l̷ i̷t̷'̷s̷ t̷o̷o̷ l̷a̷t̷e̷?̷  T̷h̷e̷r̷e̷ i̷s̷ a̷ h̷i̷g̷h̷ c̷h̷a̷n̷c̷e̷ h̷e̷ i̷s̷ a̷f̷t̷e̷r̷ h̷e̷r̷,̷  I̷ w̷o̷u̷l̷d̷n̷'̷t̷ q̷u̷e̷s̷t̷i̷o̷n̷ m̷e̷ i̷f̷ I̷ w̷e̷r̷e̷ y̷o̷u̷.̷"  
His head tilted a little as he stood eye to eye with Goldie,  gently removing my hand from Goldie's chest.
Everything was quiet,   shock shooting through the room.  

"He.... He's after her?"   Freddy whispered.
Sniffles from the Freddles replaced the silence.

(Pepperoni)  "No... "
(Cheese)   "He can't take her away!"
(Tomato)  "Waaaaaa!"

Nightmare bumped shoulders with a fear stricken Goldie as he passed,   anger and fear prominent while he slammed the door.
