|Grimm X Reader| |Tales after Hallownest|

|Short but Sweet|

Nothing else mattered.

We both hugged each other with our lips sealed together. Everything around us felt like a loving red as both of our eyes were closed. As the dream slowly faded and we opened our eyes, we'd look at each other with a small sparkle in our eyes as if we experienced a Natural Wonder. He smiled gently to me, soft like a candle and as smooth as the edge of a mask. His handsome glow radiated at me with my bright blush showing as a response.

We heard light clapping in the background as we both looked at Marissa. Every sound she made from her voice to her clapping echoed in a ghostly fashion throughout the Pleasure House.

"Wonderful..! Just wonderful! I'm sold on it all!"

As we both looked at each other as I tilted my head.
"W-what?"
I mumbled, though still audible.

"Your love, your performance! It's a definite A+! I SHIP IT!!~♥"

Out of the corner of my eyes that Grimm had a blush under his eyes as he himself was a bit flustered by this.

"You really mean that, Marissa?"
Asked Grimm, as calmly as he could.

"Hell, I'd be the priest!"

After a bit of back and fourth with the fangirling butterfly, we both left and stood silently in the elevator together. Though, I couldn't help but think about what Marissa said. This had to be a dream come true to have everything just line up like that. I wanted to speak, but I didn't break the silence. To my luck, Grimm wanted a conversation.

"...(Y/N),"
Grimm would start in a soft tone.

"Y-yes?"
I would respond lightly and glance at him.

"You said you had a nightmare, right?"

"Er......Y-yeah?"
I felt lightly embarrassed by it. I hope he doesn't ask what it was about--

"I assume you were at that show the day we met."
He would look at me with a light smile.

"Yyyyeeeeessss?"

"You wouldn't mind if I harvested the Flame, right?"

I stopped for a second. He could harvest the Nightmare's flame to get rid of it. I'll be rid of the dream & I wont have another nightmare like that for a long while. Then again, what if he could see the dream? Maybe think I'm into BDSM-- WAIT IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT!

I got my word out between my breath,
"I mean- sure! I don't see why not."

The elevator reached the bottom with him shooting me a smile.

"Splendid."

We hurried to our room quickly. As we ran down the hotel's halls, I heard a slapping noise from one room as the door was cracked open. I paused immediately. Whatever was going on, I wanted to know-- before a Grimmkin groaned out.
"HHhhggg~ yeah..~"
I literally froze in place with intense curiosity, but I was a bit too scared to look. I just decided to move on and not think about it whatsoever.

Grimm closed the door behind me after I stepped in,
"Alright, go sit on the bed over there. This won't take long."
I did as he instructed.
