Papa Nightmare? [Nightkiller] [English Version]

CHAP 63

Narrator:

"Um... I'm glad everything worked out over there and blah blah blah, but there are still things to clarify here" Swapfell interrupted, phone in hand and open to the comments on the post he had made minutes earlier.

"Couldn't you wait a little longer? I'd barely started my internal monologue..." Cross complained, crossing his arms, feeling quite offended.

"Wh0 the h3ll cAres ab0ut yoUr 1nternal mon0logu£? C0me oN, Ra§p, @sk th3 qUestion$!" Error spoke up, uninterested in Cross's opinion, but very focused and excited at the thought of what the diva would ask to stir up more drama. After all, drama is the key; drama is living.

"Ooooh" Dust was heard saying in the background, still recording.

"I never thought I'd ever agree with you on something, Error... Did you just call me Rasp and not an abomination?" Swapfell said in surprise.

"Ye@h, ye4h, thAnk m3 laTer, n0w jUst a$k y0ur f*ck1ng qu£sTions" the Glich replied, starting to get angry because his long-awaited drama hadn't even started.

Rasp, seeing the menacing look beginning to form on Error, decided to turn his full attention to his boss and the walking x to begin his long-awaited questions, clearing his throat before speaking.

"First: Don't you have a partner? I thought you were with Crescent's mother. I didn't know you were a single father" he said simply.

Cross came to his senses upon hearing Rasp's question. It was strange that Nightmare would say so confidently that he had to find a partner before he could get married when the other already had a child. What was going on?

"No, I don't have a partner. Crescent was born under" He glanced surreptitiously at Killer. "Difficult circumstances..." He finished.

A new mystery added to the list. Rasp just made a mental note to dig deeper into the matter later; for now, he would focus on getting answers to whatever he could.

"Second question..." He murmured, this time scanning the comments until he chose the one that caught his attention the most.

@El Macho: Dream and Nightmare are brothers? Ha! How is that possible? The two don't look anything alike; they're like oil and water.

"Are you and Dream really brothers? I don't see the resemblance..." He asked.

Dream was the one who found the courage to timidly raise his hand to answer that question.

"The truth is, Nightmare didn't always look the way you know him now..." Dream commented, feeling somewhat nostalgic.

This comment caught everyone's attention.

"Really? Do you have any photos as proof by any chance?" Hate asked curiously. This was information he could leverage if he used it well.

Error looked up at this, also curious to know what his aforementioned best friend's former appearance had been. He already knew something about his past from some things Nightmare had told him, but the unfortunate man never told him in detail what he looked like in the past.

"Well—"

"No, that was over 400 years ago" Nightmare interrupted, his tone resonating coldly, looking somewhat tense at the question posed by the mass of hate.

Error felt disappointed; he'd forgotten that detail.

"Good joke, Boss. I almost believed it. It would have been more logical for you to simply say it's none of our business" Fell commented, trying not to burst out laughing at the sheer ridiculousness the nightmare had professed.
