You can't help but to glare with hatred visible on your face. It brought a disturbing aura around you as you only had murderous thoughts in your head. You clenched the wall tightly, your knuckles turning pale with color. "How exactly could they hurt someone as precious as him without feeling guilty?" Was your question as you watched the village monsters kick at the smaller skeleton with such force that you could see the cracks about to form. You would've stabbed them with your trusty sharp object if it weren't for your precious Nightmare being there. You took note in your mind that you would've dealt with them later. Cackles filled the night air as footsteps faded, leaving only the sounds of sobs. Your heart broke upon the sound, causing you to frown. You got out of your hiding spot, making sure the knife wasn't visible before walking over to him. He only paused but continued sobbing, his shoulders shaking violently as you stared down at him with love in your eyes.

"Please..." He started as you let out a breath in surprise "If you're here to hurt me too...Please just get it done and over with..." He chocked out between his sobs, making you slowly kneel down. He waited for the impact to land on him but the only impact he felt was arms wrapping around him tightly in a big warm embrace, making his eyesockets widen. His pupils slowly averted down, scanning you for a while before biting his lip as he started sobbing harder. His chest heaved up and down quickly as he hugged back just as tight. You felt just as much pain as he felt, caressing his skull with soft strokes, whispering sweet nothings into his supposed ear, making his sobs turn into sniffles. Both of you didn't know how long you two were hugging each other but soon the sun began to rise, casting upon a magnificent sight before you two. You smiled and snuggled back into him, gripping the back of his shirt as he silently thanked you for the comfort. Unwillingly, you pulled back to take a good look at his wounds and his tear stained face. You took a handkerchief out, wiping away at the blood that oozed out of his skull, frowning softly as you leaned in, kissing away his tears. A soft blush spreads across his cheeks as he looked away shyly.

Warmth filled your chest as butterflies threatened to release your throat, you could only get up, reaching a hand out towards him, tilting your head to the side as he looked up at you confused "Come on, I'll patch you up okay?" He gulped softly before placing his hand in your's, making you pull him back up to his feet. He stumbled a little bit recomposed his state, making him smile shyly at you. The walk to your house was comfortable and quiet. You held his hand tightly as you glanced back at him now and then. Though his wounds did anger you a little, it made your heart flutter whenever he looked back at you. Soon your house came into view, you quickly looked for your house keys, making your bag rustle a little before grabbing the keys out, before opening the front door quickly, ushering Nightmare inside to which he quickly shuffles inside. You close the door behind you once you got in, placing your bag down with a soft thud echoing throughout the house. Nightmare seemed to have taken a seat at the couch while you went to your bedroom for the first aid kit. Whilst you were gone, a faint scent of blood filled his nostrils. It made him slightly uneasy but shrugged it off, thinking that it may have came from his wounds instead.

You came back after a while, getting onto your knees, opening the first aid kit and looked up at him. "Sorry, I'm going to need you to remove your clothes.." A bright blush crossed his cheeks as he looked down in embarrassment, making you chuckle. This embarrassed him further as he shakily started removing his top. Scars and bruises filled your eyes as you watched him remove his top. Despite how awkward this moment might have been, your anger for the best of you, making you growl like a feral. His eyes widened from the shock but just looked down, sighing "(Y/N)...It's nothing" You raised an eyebrow, looking up at him seriously. "You want to say that when your injuries are in full view?" Your words caused him to grumble in embarrassment as you slowly dabbed a cotton ball with medicine oil on his wounds, making him hiss from the sting. You looked up at him with worry, placing a hand on his and caressed it gently "Please, bear with it for me..?" He nodded, biting his bottom lip. As you continued to treat his wounds, you noted in mind how many scars were made, thinking of how you were gonna torture them in your mind. Once you were done, you let out a sigh, throwing the cotton ball away as Nightmare started wearing his shirt back on. Despite you wanting to protest against the idea, you decided to keep your mouth shut, not wanting to make a fool out of yourself.

You came back with a glass of water, gently placing it in his hands, him thanking you in return. You watched as he chugged the whole glass down, making you smile. "Would you like to spend the night here?" Your voice rang in his ears, making him perk up and look at you. Despite not wanting to be a burden, he could feel the pain surging through him. He sighed, smiling as he nodded, making you smile brightly before landing him in a big hug. Laughter filled the air as you two just continued playing to kill time. Soon, night came along, clouding the sky with blue and purple darkness. You slowly tucked Nightmare into bed, turning your night lamp off before walking back toyour room. You traced your fingers along the wood of the table, feeling the splinters rise up against your flesh. You sigh, grinning maniacally as you picked up a knife, looking at it's sharp glint that stared back at you. Silently opening the front door, you held a piece of note in your hand, you started to walk with speed towards the address, ready to take out whoever dared to touch your precious Nightmare. You could feel yourself grow with anger as you stared at them through their window. You felt yourself gliding the knife against the branch, letting out some small noises as the atmosphere thickened with dread.

You yawned, holding the dead body slumped on your shoulder as you walked back home, not knowing what to do with it. You sighed and just decided to throw it into your basement again. You opened the front door and was about to close it when you saw Nightmare staring at you with fear. You froze, looking at him surprised "Nightmare...? What are you doing awake..." You slowly dropped the body with a loud thud, looking at him with the same amount of fear he displayed in his eyes. He slowly stepped back, making you take a step forward, following his direction. He tripped and fell, knocking over a vase that shattered to pieces. But that was the least of your concerns as you ran forward, checking if he was okay. "S-Stay back!" He yelled out, putting his arms in front of him for defense, shattering your heart. You sighed, slowly stepping back as you watched his shivering form slowly stand up. Nightmare shakily looked you in the eye, noticing that tears threatened to spill out. You frowned at the sight, wanting to wipe his tears away for him but you were pretty sure that he was too terrified of you at that point. "W-Why...?" You looked at him, staring intently, making him shrink in fear. You looked away, just for his comfort as you kicked the body away "Do you realize who were the ones I killed, Nightmare?" He perked up at your question before looking at the dead body, eyes widening at the familiar face. "You killed my bully...?" You nodded, placing your hands on your hips "I did it..because I love you..." You mumbled, slowly getting into a squat position as you held your hands in your head. Silence filled the air as Nightmare watched your quivering form with a frown etched onto his face. You have never felt so helpless ever in your life.
Footsteps filled your airs, feeling them go past you as you looked up confused. You turned back, seeing him leave through the front door, stopping to look at you with a soft, sad expression "I'm sorry (Y/N)..But I can't love you as a killer..." He walked off your porch as you started chuckling, your laughter filling the air manically. You gripped the floor with much force, eyes averting to the knife that laid beside you. You shakily held the knife that stared back at you as you laughed, plunging it into your chest as blood spurted out of your mouth. You slowly collapsed onto the floor, eyes slowly falling on you as darkness consumed you as you whispered your last words.

"I love you...Nightmare..."
