A light in the darkness |Nightmare x reader|

Rushing water

"OH, AND THEN HE SAVED THE DAY AND BECAME THE UNDERGROUND'S GREATEST HERO! Not That He Isn't That Already" she giggled at Blues enthusiasm toward his celebrity. he was a loyal fan and she felt she didn't have to see any of the movies thanks to his retelling to them. "Isn't that the end of all the movies?" his mood brightens even more than before. "THAT'S WHAT MAKES HIM SO AWESOME! HE'S GREAT IN EVERY WAY.. MUCH LIKE A MAGNIFICENT SKELETON I KNOW." The heroic posture he posed in only made the girl laugh more, making him break out laughing as well.

everything was... nice. since the meeting. both sides had a grudge toward the others, but it was nice to have more friends to hang out with. it got boring being cooped up in the same place for too long. she always loved exploring so it was a nice pace just walking through the underground, or surface if her friend had an pacifist ending, and just relax. an comforting blanket being put over everyone as they leaned back a bit with all the miscommunication fixed. still threats being thrown at one another, but hey, beggars can't be choosers.

"I need to go now Blue, it was nice hanging out with you" he gave him an apologetic smile after realizing what the time was. His eye light seemed to dim for a second before they got even brighter. "THAT'S FINE, THERE'S ALWAYS A NEXT TIME." He excitedly proclaimed. standing up she could hear a portal opening. Dream came jumping through and his eyesight got bigger when they landed on her. "Oh, I didn't know you were here. I'm not disturbing anything?" he asked apologetic. The girl lightly shook her head. "No worries. I was just about to leave. Nightmare is probably on his way here. or he's getting someone else to get me."

Dream seemed to deflate a bit by their words. "That's fine. Just made some time for me another time, deal?" he reached out a hand toward her, she gladly shook it with adding a 'deal'. "I'm only staying her an hour. do you... are you free after that?" It was a rather short time period, but she also had not have much time hanging with Dream lately. so she nodded confidently. "I believe I can make it work"another portal could be heard opening after her answer. she quickly excused herself and Dream called after for her to meet him in Underswap's waterfall in an hour. walking over to the portal where Killer was twirling a knife.

"So it's here you are, it shouldn't surprise me." Nightmare came walking in to the back corner of the library. a brow raised and a smirk plastered on his face.she gave him a bright smile as he sat down on the chair next to the couch she was sprawled across.Letting out a sigh as he relaxed back into the softness of the chair and closing his eyes. "stressful day?" She asked, not taking here eye of the page she was reading. "Why must those guys be such idiots" was the only thing muttered back toward her. his eye landed on her the instant he open them. "Any plans later?" he asked hopefully. she gave him an apologetic smile. "Sorry, I'm supposed to meet dream in fifteen minutes."

His mood seemed to deflate a bit. his smile being fully forced by them mention of his brother. "Oh" he answered darkly. reaching out a hand to place on his jaw and pulled his head to look at her. "You know you're my favorite skeleton, right? no one can steal that title away. but Dream is still my friend." his eyesight refused to meet hers. "How about you get me in fifteen minutes? it's getting quite late so I believe that's a good enough excuse to leave early." his eyes meet hers. "I will get you on the mark. not a second later." she smiled and placed a quick kiss on his cheek. "Deal"

Dream was standing in front of one of the bigger waterfalls in, well, waterfall. "Hi Dream!" She greeted, making her present clear. his mood quickly lighten as he gave her a bright smile while greeting her as well. "I'm sorry, but I only have time to hang out for around fifteen minutes." She apologized. he gave her an apologetic smile. "That's fine. I'm just glad I could hang out with you again. it's been far to long since we last spoke." the two got seated at the small pool of water the waterfall fell into. the girl getting her shoes off and rolling up her pants with no hesitation to let them hang of the edge and into the water. the water wasn't too cold not to hot. it was placed in the middle of waterfall. making the water beyond this more hotter thanks to Hotland and more colder before thanks to Snowdin.

"Hey... there's something i have to tell you." Dream broke the peaceful chatter between the two. When she didn't answer, he continued on. "I know this is probably selfish of me, but I can't keep it to myself any longer." she rose a brow at his statement. "like I said, this is quite selfish of me, but I also know I will regret it my whole life if I don't make this clear..." he sucked in a breath he doesn't need and turned his head. looking directly in her eyes. "I believe I have cached feelings for you" he said bluntly, making her blush for both his boldness and her own shook. "Wh..what-" he placed a finger on her lips, stopping her words. "Please just let me get this of my chest." he pleaded.

she was in too much shock to speak. eyes probably bulging out of her sockets as she stared at him. he did know her and his brothers relationship? he must have known. her mind racing to find a meaning for Dreams sudden confession. most of his word not even getting registered. "At least I have made my feelings clear..." he ended his confession with a quick kiss to her lips. as fast as she registered it, it was gone. "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!" the raging voice of Nightmare shook the underground.
