Look Over The Horizon [Star Sanses x Reader]

Special Ending ~Nightmare~

The light faded away to reveal a startled Nightmare, wearing a torn purple outfit, scuffed boots and a crown that was dislodged from his skull and tilted cutely to one side.

"W-What in the... It was that easy!" Nightmare said furiously, his voice now considerably lighter and less menacing than before. Dream let out a happy squeal as he ran forward to embrace his brother. Nightmare attempted to push the skeleton off him, hissing like an angry cat but it was useless as his younger twin cried into his chest.

Meanwhile, Blue and Ink stood in the background bewildered. You chuckled at their star-struck (get it? ;p) expressions and walked over to join them.

"Well, would ya look at that? My theory was correct," you said playfully, snapping the pair out of their trances.

"How did you-"

Know that would-"

"(y/n), you're amazing!"

You yelped as Dream rocketed into your chest, stumbling backwards but still managing to keep yourself upright as the positive spirit embraced you. You looked back at Nightmare to see him wearing a soft smile directed at his brother, though his cheekbones were flushed a dark purple. From discomfort, or embarrassment, you weren't too sure.

...

About a week had passed since that day...

Things had relatively returned to normal, the only new feature now being Nightmare had returned to living in the Star Sanses castle with the rest of you.

The Sanses that had been working for Nightmare were disbanded, and despite prior protests, they eventually agreed (mostly due to the fact that they wouldn't have to work anymore).

The Star Sanses now didn't really have much to 'protect the Multiverse' from apart from the occasional fights within the AUs so they spent most of their time catching up on old hobbies and even discovering new ones (turns out Ink really had a knack for gardening - who knew?)

And you and Nightmare were able to rekindle your friendship, both agreeing to take things slow. Though you couldn't help but feel an odd sense of longing for the small skeleton. It started out as an odd reminiscence for how close the two of you used to be but it soon morphed into a deeper, much more complex feeling.

The two of you were currently sitting in the library, reading books in the peaceful silence of the room. That was until Nightmare sneaked a glance over at you and cleared his throat to get your attention.

"Hey uh... (y/n)?"

You looked up from the book you had been reading and directed your attention towards the small prince.

"Yes Night?"

A light purple crossed his cheekbones as he looked at you. You smiled at the oddly adorable sight.

"So... I know we're technically not dating anymore but I was wondering if you'd um... W-Well if you'd consider..." he trailed off as his blush darkened, cursing under his breath. Your smile softened and you reached a hand out to cup his warm cheekbone, turning his skull towards you.

"I want to start over Nightmare," you said finally, making his eye sockets widen before he sighed in relief.

"Well that's good, because I was going to ask you the sa-" You didn't let him finish as you immediately lent forward, kissing him wholeheartedly. He stiffened at the spontaneous action but soon relaxed into your touch, shyly moving his hands to cradle your waist as you kissed him.

The kiss was short and sweet, but it was more than enough to set butterflies erupting in your stomach. Nightmare wasn't quite done though, peppering your face with light kisses: cheeks, nose, forehead, lips, ears, anywhere he could reach. You became a giggling blushing mess as he showered you with affection, looping your arms around his neck in an attempt to pull him closer.

He ended the session by once again capturing your lips. You happily returned it, letting out a hum of satisfaction.

Though both of you noticed the quiet giggling coming from the doorway of the library. You instantly turned around, your face erupting as you saw the Star Sanses watching the two of you. Dream looked absolutely ecstatic as he held his phone out in front of him... Wait, was he recording?!

The trio scampered away as soon as they realized they had been caught, making you and Nightmare turn towards each other with knowing looks.

"We're getting that phone?"

"We're getting that phone."
