A light in the darkness |Nightmare x reader|

Calmness

Thing had gone relatively smooth the time Y/n had lived with the 'bad guys' She mostly stayed in her favorite room in the house, the library, when she wasn't spending time with Nightmare. He and the other are usually a way form the castle for some periods of time leaving it all to herself. Usually relaxing in a big velvet read chair that could fit as a thrown in a throne room. She would have feel unworthy, but when she found out how soft and comfortable it was all her worries was thrown out of the window. Dust had mention one time he had come to the library to hang around and chat that they were not as much outside, destroying AUs and other things since she showed up. To him it was a bit boring, but it left plenty of times to nap around. Y/n didn't know much by the other skeleton. except that Dust's dead brothers ghost floated around and talk to him.

"Nightmare did what!?" she asked between a giggles. Dust and Killers grin became a bit bigger etch laugh. it seems like these two, most Dust, liked to tell embarrassing stories about their boss that happened through the years. "what can I say, he really Fell or that trap" Killer said with a wink. Error could be seen looking through some books on the upper floor. quietly listening in on the conversation. "Oh what about the time when-" Dust began only to be stopped by a loud coughing. Nightmare was standing in one of the opening for the sitting area they were all sitting in. an old ripped up book in his hand. glaring daggers at the two skeleton next to her. He was happy they weren't trying to kill her or harm her, but could they not do it in a way that that involved embarrassing stories.

Nightmare glare only hardened when Dust and Killer tried to continue their story. "We get it, we get it, well leave." Killer put his hands up in surrender before dragging Dust out with him. Nightmare wandered past them over to the still giggling girl. "Didn't know you were that clumsy" she teased when he sat down in the chair next to her. her eye scanned the book in his hand and took it when it was handed to her. "what's this?" she asked only to gasp when reading the book title. "It the book you borrowed to me... all those years ago... thought you might want it back" a smile placed on Nightmare's face as her hand slowly ran over the worn out cover and carefully turning to the first page. "was going to give you it the first day, but I forgot. remembered it when looking for something in my room just now"

She smiled softly like looking down at the book. "you keep it all these years" she said quietly, holding back some happy tears. "Come, there a place I want to show you" He rose to his feet and extended his hand. the girl laid down the book on the small table in front of her before taking his hands. the moment he felt her hand he open a portal and dragged her in. When the got stable on her feet she was left in awe. the sky was a mixer of an dark and light purple night sky with a bright blue day. up with the large mountains was like looking at an eternal dawn/sunset depending on where you looked. the trees were striped whit different types of bark and leafs. some of the leaves had autumn colors, some with a bright green while the rest had unnaturally white, turquoise and pink. water was flowing both upward and downward with water that looked like it was made of glass. multiple rainbows ruing in different directions over the sky. the grass was long and soft with a bright green color. she could spot some animals that seem to have fused together with one another to create an entirely new being.

"where are we" she manage to say thou her awe truck state. "It one of Ink's forgotten AU. He never finished it wich is the reason why it's so mangled together. it was world like this I began destroying while testing my new powers and it was in one of these I met Error." Nightmare was laying on his back, arms placed on his stomach and using one of his tentacle as a pillow. "Let's explore this place!" Y/n was off in a direction before the words reached Nightmare. he quickly shoot up even if he anticipated this. hoping she would stare at the scenery for a while before heading off. "WAIT UP!" he screamed before heading after her. running through the threes trying to see where she had gone to. Suddenly something cold hit the side of his head followed by laughter. turning his head saw the forest having some patches with crystal white snow. mostly undisturbed except some footsteps ruining over them.

Nightmare wasn't one to play silly games, but this was different, this was for revenge when the second snowball hit him right in his good eye. his four tentacle quickly gathering snowballs while his eyes prey the snowball out from his eyes before looking from movements. the snap of a twig made him threw all the five snowballs in the direction of the snap. only to get an shriek. quickly jogging over to where the shriek cam from. smug grin on is face he open his mouth only to get hit by another snowball. "oh" he took a quick step toward the girl that was backing out a bit before making her escape. His foot sullenly slipped on a bit of ice and came falling down and taking the girl with him in the fall. something soft was pressed against his lips. but as he open his eyes made his face ignite when he stared directly into the eyes of an equal shocked and red faced individual.
