A light in the darkness |Nightmare x reader|

Planning

"GOD DAMMIT!" sound of shattering glass filled Nightmares room. he could feel small drops of marrow running down his hand as he watched all the reflection staring back at him from the broken mirror. breathing heavily while slightly shaking and tears in the corner of his eye threaten to fall. 'why, why, why, whY, wHY, WHY, WHY, WHY CAN NOTHING GO MY FUCKING WAY!' he screamed in his head. She was right in front of him. he thought he was dreaming, but no. She was really there. alive. Not a stupid illusion. he wanted to cry tears of joys, hold her close, tell her how much he missed her how much she meant to him... but there was one thing that held him back.

when he heard that gasp he was honestly ready to strangle someone on the spot, but then his eyes landed on her, everything else just disappeared. At first it was unbelievable. Nightmare had to confirm to himself it was really her he saw. then their eyes met and both world just froze. he had never been that happy before. The butterflies in stomach and all the thing people explained they feel when happiness struck them, but it was one thing breaking him. one thing that held him back go hug her and cry tears of joy. she looked terrified. eyes big in fear. no recognition in them at all. she didn't freeze for the same reason as him. she was scared of him, not happy to see him. would she even remember him like this, did she remember him? what if hers memory was gone and she only knew him as a murderer now.

He began to repeatedly hit the mirror until he felt numb. Marrow was fully covering his hand and he forced himself to stop. going to put his hand under running water. He had felt so broken since he lost her, since she died. he remember personally going down to the end of the cliff and finding her lifeless body. he held her for so long and cried so many tears before finding a nice place to put her to rest. knowing that no one would go out and look for her if they found out she was missing. he had grieved for so long, over one of the most dearest person he had. going to her grave every day. So of course life still hated him with bringing her back. don't get him wrong. He was so happy he couldn't quite place what positive emotion he felt that she was alive, but he could probably never make the old bond they had with each other.

A knock on his door made him take his hand away from the running water and walking over to the door. opening it up to see no one else than Error. "what?" Nightmare said bitterly. He didn't really care for anything or anyone right now. to many emotions and thoughts clouded his mind, and he would really like to figure out what they were. only feeding up on negative emotion for so long with rarely a positive emotions drained him with all the feelings he was having. "just wanting to ask some questions" Nightmare noticed how Error raised a bone brow up on seeing his hand, small droplet of marrow had began seeping out again. He didn't care and began walking down the corridor. not quite knowing where he was going, only that it lead away from where most of the other hang around all day if they didn't have a work to do.

"Go on" he said, wanted this conversation to be over with as soon as possible. "Why were you so obsessed with capturing the girl?" Nightmare looked briefly toward Error, who was lost in thought. "She would have gotten killed with the AU if we just left. only thing lost then would be some EXP and not just another fight with shitels." Errors hand was placed on his sore shoulder while he rolled it, a sickening crack came from it that made both of them cringe. Nightmare felt himself getting angry that his friend, yes he saw Error as a friend and that even shocked him when he first realized, suggested that he was just out for killing you. Still, he could not blame him. Error didn't know their story, no one did, not even his brother. So Error would just see her as a glitch

Not to blame him, no one from Dreamtale was alike from other AUs. they only existed there. the only reason he and his brother looked like every Sans here was thanks to his mother, and her hurrying to find he and his brother a body that wouldn't explode by the amount of energy they held. Believe him, looking for another version of her so he could see her breath again was one of the first thing he looked for. This might not be so good for other version of hers wrongdoers if they existed. from everyone in Dreamtale, her bullies had the most painful death. Now he was different from that day, he was different from those days. His happy days were gone, and his grieving days as well. he had created a strong wall and another further from himself, but his walls scrambling down when he saw her. everything that he had worked for all this time was thrown away and forgotten, now he wanted his friendship back.

"Lets just say I lost them once and I won't lose them again" Nightmare answers hollowed. Error turned toward him, anticipating more. "I will explain more at another time. right now I need to think of an course of action. just tell the others if they see her I want her, and I want her alive. Every harm done to her will be done to them as well." He left Error and wandered back in his room trying to place his feelings and coming up with a plan. He didn't know what his brother have told her by now, but whatever it is needed a plan to explain himself when he got the chance to speak to her, if that day ever came.
