A light in the darkness |Nightmare x reader|

taking a chance

Nightmare still didn't feel good, he hadn't felt well for quite some time, but he had finally convinced Y/n after three days that he was fine. well, fine enough to walk around and work. he didn't complain being taken care of by her, but he was kind of an workaholic. looking over the logs for the three days. Error seemed to be taken some charge and had sent Cross and himself on a few missions. The girl wandered happily through the halls toward the library after checking if Nightmare really was fine. still a bit worry about Nightmare and if he would just collapsed on her again. the warmth in her chest she feel around him was still there. she had never actually thought much of the pleasant feeling, but now when she thought about it.. it only was there when Nightmare was involved.

The library doors stood welcoming for her as she wandered over to her favorite spot. choosing the couch instead of her usually chair to change things a bit up.. All the others would probably be out for awhile witch left her and Nightmare, if he kept his word on taking it easy today, alone for nearly the whole day. Sighing at the thought that he may overworking himself and began reading. She smiled at the open book. it was the second one she had began together with Nightmare when he wasn't feeling well. that time they had cuddle up together. her had laying on his chest where she could faintly hear his magic humming. his hand placed just above her hip to hold her close. head slightly leaning on hers. blinking out of her thoughts. she had been staring at the same page for quiet some while, falling out halfway.

Begging the page over again didn't seem to work. she keeps zoning out and begin the page over again. every reason for her distraction was Nightmare. Letting out a frustrated growl before slamming the book shut. why couldn't she concentrate. Her mind would just drift away to his laughter, that cute half way smirk he gave her, his cyan eye lighting up, that adorable expression he would have when he read, who he would quietly hum to himself when he thought no one was listening, who he... another frustrated growl was let out before she feel back, closing her eyes and sink into the couch. 'what is going on with me!' the thought broke through the none stopping thoughts about Nightmare.

"You okay there?" eyes shooting up to see the skeleton who was sitting next to her. her startled expression made him chuckle. "You didn't answer my question" he said while scribbling down something in a book. "I'm... I'm good!" a hum came from the skeleton as he continued to write. the girl eyes began to scan him. she hadn't spent this much time ever doing it, not seeing the need to. he was handsome. his cyan eye side was toward here. he had an serious expression as his eyes followed the hand writing. "Do I have something on my face?" looking upward mad she realize that he was looking directly at her. "AH! sorry, I was just.. just sending out a bit" the blush on her was was unmistakable, just hoping he would take her word. another hum form him was all the she needed that he believed her.

Taking a good breath to calm her blushing face. "Feeling any better than earlier today?" design that she would try to start a conversation with her friend seeing that she could not concentrate enough to read. "I'm better, don't worry bout it. seems like the amount of positive feelings hanging around the castle seems to have tired me out. it's fascinating that Dream has not found the castle, he have had to put all his energy into something else lately." That made her heart drop. the thoughts of who worry her friends may be of her disappearing. She had been too distracted with nightmare and all of the things happening in the castle that she had forgot about the star Sanses. maybe she could find a way to speak to them, to tell them that she's fine and they don't have to worry about her.

Nightmare sensed her distress put his hand on her shoulder. "I know that you been worrying about me lately, but are you okay?" she placed her hand on top of his and gave it a light squeeze. "I'm fine. I just have a lot to think about", she looked up and met his eye. the warm feeling in her chest ... was that love? she pondered while giving him a weak smile while he scans her expression. not seeming satisfied with what her answer was. "Please tell me what's bothering you. you can trust me" his eye held so much care in them. it reminded you back in your AU when she had accidentally scraped her knee and he held that caring gaze while he bandage her up. telling her she should be more careful next time and that a bigger fall in the future might be fatal...

Their eyes were locked as he waiter for the answer. who was she supposed to tell him that he wouldn't leave her mind. here eyes fell down from his gaze. her eyes scanning his skeletal lips. The kiss in the forgotten AU, or well accidental kiss. She wanted to forget it, and prey he forgot it. it didn't mean nothing, she had made sure of that. but than why. Before she could stop herself she felt herself leaning closer and closing her eyes. Not long after her lips pressed into his. he didn't to anything, frozen in time. 'Maybe this was a bad idea' she thought. quickly breaking the small kiss and were ready to quickly escape the room. not even five second after the kiss was broken a hand was placed on the back of her head and her lower back and yanking her forward. hands automatically being pulled up in surrender, meeting his chest as their lips collided again. shock quickly disappear as she closed her eyes, griped the front of his hoodie and kissed back
