When in Doubt (Nightmare x Blue)

Just a Little

"What do you mean?"
Nightmare raised a brow. "How much alcohol can you drink before getting drunk?"
He felt a small wave of embarrassment from the other skeleton as Blue muttered something under his breath and shrugged.
"I didn't catch that."
"I've never had any."
Nightmare had to cover his mouth to keep himself from laughing. Even then, a few snickers escaped as his shoulders shook. He knew that Blue's brother was overprotective, but this was hilarious!
"What? It's gross and look what it does to people!" Blue gestured over to the bar. Night would admit he had a point. He felt no positivity from those people.
"Couldn't hurt to try though. Tell you what, you let me buy you a drink, and I will answer any three questions you ask me, no matter how personal."
Blue frowned for a second. "Well, alright...but nothing too strong."
"Of course not!" Night could tell his voice held a little too much glee, but he had to know what a drunk Blue even looked like.
He went up to the bar and ordered a small fruity cocktail for Blue, and a beer for himself.
When he came back with the drinks, he noticed Blue was nervous. He didn't blame him.
"Here." Night placed the drink down in front of him. "And I didn't drug it. God's honor."
Blue looked at it, then took a small sip. He cringed.
"Well?"
"What is that...burning?"
"That's the alcohol. I'm surprised you can taste it."
Blue slowly managed to finish his drink and tugged on the cuff of one of his sleeves. Nightmare knew that he was thinking of a question.
Nightmare took this time to study Blue's work outfit. He'd finished his beer, but he wasn't a heavy drinker so it was affecting him a bit.
"You should wear suits more often."
Blue looked up. "They make me feel like I'm being choked. No thanks."
"Your decision. Three questions."
Blue took a deep breath. "Do you still love your brother?"
Nightmare paused. He'd been expecting Blue to ask about places his gang would hit next, plans and schemes and things like that, but...
He paused. Did he? He didn't exactly HATE Dream, but he wouldn't say they still felt like brothers.
"Not as much as I used to, but...yes, I would say I still love him."
Blue smiled. "Your turn."
"What?"
"Its not fair if I'm the only one asking so...your turn."
Nightmare frowned. What should he ask?
"Do you know why your brother is so protective?"
Blue flushed a bit. "Yeah, he just.. can't see me as an adult. Not a lot of people do. Not that I mind most of the time, but..." He shrugged. Nightmare felt like he was lying, but let it slide. "Funniest moment with your team?"
Again, Nightmare was surprised. This time, it took him a lot longer.
"Alright...so me and Error were discussing plans, and I hear this girly scream. We go out to the living room, and Killer is glued to the ceiling fan, and it's on, so he's zooming around the room while Dust and Horror are laughing their asses off."
Blue sniggered and was about to laugh, but he slapped a hand over his mouth. Nightmare raised an eyebrow and Blue blushed. "I...don't like my laugh."
"Because it makes you sound like a child?"
"Yeah..."
"Well, what's yours then?"
Blue giggled. "I...can't handle sugar. So, Ink gave me a lollipop when it was time to renovate the house, thinking I'd do it all on my own...I tore the entire house down."
Night couldn't help himself. He started laughing. Blue laughed a little too.
Nightmare was surprised at Blue's laugh. A lot of things about this skeleton surprised him. It was...adorable. And Nightmare didn't find many things adorable.
"O-okay, my turn..." Blue paused, and Nightmare could practically see the gears turning inside his skull.
"Ever had a crush? You don't have to say who."
Nightmare thought. "Yes, fairly recently actually." He looked at Blue. "You?"
"I've had two boyfriends. But no one currently."
"Two? What happened?"
He got up quickly, and the wave of sudden negativity scared Nightmare. "I have to get back to work."
"Are you-"
"Goodbye." He rushed off, then turned back. "Thanks for the drink."
