Nymm X Reader

Y/N wheezed a bit as she sat down on the iron (and may she add, cold) bench. She had made her way up to the little town called Dirtmouth after taking care of the nightmarish (50 year old smoker-) bug known as Grimm. Taking care as in getting beat up multiple times and having to resort to a lot of strange things to defeat him, like very weird charms she couldn't care to name at the moment.

However, Dirtmouth always had a refreshing air to it, a soothing one as well, and Y/N highly enjoyed coming there. Not to mention, a lot of her friends were here. Elderbug, Bretta, (b r e t t s, , , You get a cookie from me if you get that joke XD) kinda Zote, although Y/N still wasn't exactly sure if she would rank him as a freind, Iselda, Cornifer, Sly? The list was big for such a small and abandoned town and Y/N loved everyone in it. (eXcEpT fOr zOte)

Y/N's breath hitched suddenly though as she realized a figure nearing her, and it didn't look like anyone she remembered...

As the bug came out of the fog, Y/N was able to get a closer look at his features. He had an off white colored head, with a rather small nose and eyes. He had a huge maroon thing around his shoulders, representing perhaps a scarf, with the rest of his visible body being a blue, like a lot of the rest of the bugs found in HallowNest. And in his dark colored claws, he held a very simply structured accordion. And the moment she realized it, happiness overcame her heart.

"BRUMM?!" She squeaked, her voice apparently still not prepared for the sudden outburst. To be honest, Y/N had gained a crush on the giant and soft accordion player known as Brumm from all her times going back to Grimm's tent. But... after she had defeated Nightmare King Grimm, he had disappeared.

The bug shyly nodded as he stepped closer. "Y/N..." He went and sat down on the bench, putting down his accordion on the cold ground as he looked over to her with a gentle smile on his face. "You can call me Nymm." He stated simply. Y/N then gave him a tight hug, burying her face into his fluffy neck/scarf, (?) causing them both to blush. "OH NYMM! IT'S BEEN SO LONG THOUGHH!~" Y/N whined loudly into his scarf, earning her a weird look from Elderbug.

Nymm awkwardly embraced her back after a second, his face probably being the brighter one with blush. "I- It's re-really good to see you too, Y/N." Y/N grinned up at him, then leaned away from the hug and slapped his back instead. "So how have you been? Also, why did you leave so suddenly? I didn't get to say goodbye..." She added quietly at the end, blushing.

Nymm shrugged and looked down. "Grimm after being defeated by you, he just made us up and leave and... well- I'd had enough of being in the Troupe at that point, so I sneaked out, obviously did a little makeover-" He blushed upon saying this. "And I came back here. It took a while though..." Y/N cocked her head to the side. "Why did you come back here though? There must be better places where you could've gone."

Nymm blushed and looked down. "Uh..." He whispered. "ImostlycamebacksoIcouldseeyouagainandtellyousomething." Y/N squinted at him, but decided not to prod any further since she had at least heard a bit of the end and she knew that Nymm was a shy bug and easily overwhelmed.

"What were you gonna tell me then?"Nymm looked at her, his eyes widening a bit. "Y-You heard that?" Y/N rolled her eyes and gave him a look. "Yes, you big idiot. Now what do you have to tell me?" Nymm gulped and looked away, averting his gaze down to his accordion. "N-nothing?"

Y/N playfully smacked him. "No, tell me." Nymm gulped and tried to look her in the eyes, quite failing however because he just kept blinking and looking behind her or to the side. "I- Uh... this is kinda awkward..." Y/N humphed. "Then just spit it out!" Nymm fiddled with his hands. "Uh-"

Y/N gave him a scary glare.

"FINE OK-" Nymm said, sweating a bit. "Y/N-" He said still a little hesitantly still, but nonetheless, took her hands into his, gripping them gently. "I really like you. Like-" He blushed hard. "In that way." Y/N's own face heated up. Elderbug and Inky watched and evilly laughed together in the distance.

Y/N tried to process words. She was not expecting that her crush would actually confess to her. "You-" Nymm looked down sadly. "I knew it. Who could share feelings for and with me?" Y/N turned his face back up towards hers. "Let me finish my sentence. You truly like me?" Nymm sadly nodded, looking regretful of telling the pretty bug.

Y/N blushed as she snuggled her face snug back into his scarf. "Well- I like you too." Now it was Nymm's turn to not believe what had just happened. "Do- Actually?" Y/N nodded vigorously into his floof, now becoming shy like Nymm himself. He smiled after she confirmed it. "I can't believe it- this is going so smoothly-"

Y/N quickly reached up to peck his check. "Yes it is." She agreed. Nymm looked down at her with a subtle blush on his pale face. "To be honest though Y/N... I've liked you ever since you started walking through Grimm's tent." Y/N bashfully looked into his eyes. "S-same. Plus, I liked your accordion."

Nymm giggled at this statement. "I'm gald." He lovingly remarked, before leaning his head down on top of Y/N's. "Y/N?" "Yes?" He bit his lip and blushed. "Will you be mine?" Y/N chuckled. "Of course." Nymm breathed out a sigh of relief. "Well, that went fast." Y/N shrugged. "Well, it worked out good at least, idiot." Nymm shook his head, smiling gently. "I'm glad I came back."

Y/N closed her eyes as she rested on Nymm's floofy shoulder. "Ditto."
