Chapter 38 - Let It Go, Nightmare
It was Monday, and everyone was once again back at the Office.
But, with more interesting terms.
First off, Killer had broken up with Horror. No one in the Office had found out until Lust had broken up with Death to start dating Horror, in which Death had announced to Geno, which he messaged everyone about. And they expected to see Killer as a sobbing mess, but they were surprised to hear he was actually happier. No one had heard about Dream being pregnant yet other than Sci, so they were also trying to figure out a way to tell everyone soon.
But, the weekend comes and goes, and once again, it was a Monday morning.
And Cross was going to have a good Monday.
Over the weekend, he was taking to Geno about how they thought of different movies. One of those movies that came up was Frozen.
And Nightmare had overheard, and he stated his opinion about it rather clearly.
Nightmare despised Elsa. He hated how she always was 'too sparkly', and how she was a big baby about her powers that clearly made her better than anyone else, he just didn't like her. And he made it personal, too, saying that the two should never like Elsa ever.
And Cross got an idea.
Since Nightmare had made him flustered, he was going to torture him with Elsa. That Monday morning would not be fun for little Nightmare, and he wouldn't admit to being the one.
If it was happened under normal circumstances, it would've been fine. But Geno, being Geno, posted this fact onto many of his accounts.
So anyone in the Office could know that little Elsa fact.
"I don't think this is a good idea!" Geno said as Cross told him his plan, "He'd kill us!"
"He's still in his pacifist state of skeleton, he said it takes awhile for him to get it back!" Cross explained, "And he won't know who's doing it, so he'll be driven crazy!"
"Uh..." Geno said, "Well, of you want a helper, you shouldn't come to me."
"Oh no, I was just informing you for what's about to go down," Cross informed him, "Sans if helping me, so today is going to be brutal for Nightmare."
"Oh no," Geno said, "When you're giving Sans the ability to prank someone, and he knows what they hate... Poor Nightmare. I'll pray for him."
"So, other than that little news update," Cross said, leaning against Geno's desk, "What about you and Death?"
"W-What about us?" Geno stuttered, blushing a bright red.
"Aren't you guys going to start dating at all?"
"Why would we do that?" Geno asked, avoiding eye contact.
"Because you clearly like him," Cross taunted him.
Geno glared at him before he perked up, grinning evily at Cross as he pulled up his facebook onto his computer and clicked on one of his posts.
"What about you and Nightmare?" He asked, turning the computer towards Cross.
Cross blushed a bright purple, staring down at the picture of him and Nightmare cuddling.
"When did that happen?" He hissed in embarrassment, pushing the computer to the side so no one else could see it.
"The first day Nightmare started to live with us, it's posted everywhere on my social medias," Geno said, effectively turning the conversation from his crush to Cross'.
"Oh my god," Cross muttered, "Now I definitely have to prank him to get this out of my mind."
"Well, if you really are going to," Geno said, clicking the red X button on the top right side of the screen, "Don't get me involved, I'm actually a bit scared of him."
"He wouldn't hurt you," Cross said, rolling his eyes.
"He wouldn't hurt you," The bleeding skeleton said, "But me, on the otherhand, he'd kill me since I'm not the love of his life."
"Screw you, I'm leaving," Cross said, walking off.
~~~~~~
Dream couldn't focus on his job, and Ink had noticed. So he brought Dream into his Office.
"Is there something wrong?" Ink asked Dream.
"I... I don't feel comfortable talking about it at work..." Dream said, rubbing his arm and he shuffled in place, "Can we talk about it at lunch, we can go eat something for lunch and talk about it there? I don't want to let anyone else at work know yet."
"Of course," Ink said, "We can go to that place with all of the shiny tables you like! I'm always here for you, Dream, we are best friends after all."
"Thanks..." Dream said quietly, looking down at his chest before leaving to get back to work.
~~~~~~
Nightmare sat back down at his desk before glaring at his computer with confusion.
His background was Elsa.
It was a derpy Elsa too, with her twisted into a troll face. She was dancing with Anna, her younger sister, but photo shopped over her face was a picture of Nightmare's face in his gooey form.
"Who in this f*cking Office did this?" Nightmare yelled.
"Did what?" Fell asked, looking up from his desk.
"I'm on a sales call, please stay quiet!" Blue said, covering the bottom end of the telephone so the caller couldn't hear him talking.
"This!" Nightmare said, turning his computer to show the badly photoshopped picture.
Fell snorted as he caught sight of what passive Nightmare was upset at, setting down the papers he was holding as he chuckled. Cross and Sans, who had turned at his yell, burst out laughing. Killer than looked up and snickered, but he went back down to work on his work. Horror and Lust, who both were at Receptions desk, were giggling wildly as they stared at it.
"I demand to know who did this!" Nightmare said.
"Even though you look like a child, no one who did it would tell you in their right minds that they did it," Fell said.
"Want to say that to my face?" The skeleton across from him growled.
"Nah, I'm good," Fell said, looking back down at his work.
"That's what I thought," Nightmare said, turning his computer back around.
If only Nightmare knew that was the beginning.
After he had changed his background back to the usual background, all of his folders were named Elsa, and a tab of the movie on Youtube was in the background. So, he had to change all of that back to normal. And after that, he then found all of his search history was filled with pages and pages of Elsa pictures. Even his email was changed to Elsaluver.
"I left my computer to go eat my crackers for five minutes!" Nightmare said, staring at his computer in utter annoyance, "And whoever did this made this much progress on it!"
"What now?" Fell asked.
"This!" Nightmare said, showing the computer screen to Fell, which was a screen of an Elsa fan club login.
"Pft," Fell chuckled, "Whoever did this just wanted you to let it go, Nightmare."
"Don't be mean, I think Nightmare is suffering enough!" Blue said, slapping Fell's shoulder.
"Eh, whatever," Fell said, standing up, "Well, I'm hungry, have fun with your Elsa fan club."
Fell shuffled off from his desk, leaving behind Blue and Nightmare, who both went back to work. However, he didn't go towards the kitchen, hr instead went towards the exit.
"Um, Fell," Blue called out to him, "Tge kitchen is the opposite way."
"I left my food in my car," Fell said, "I'll be back."
"Oh, ok!" Blue said, waving goodbye to his desk neighbor.
Sci watched Fell walk out of the room, his eye sockets narrowed. Something felt off about Fell. He never ate that much, he always was denying food at work and at public places, but at Sci's house he ate normally, like he was afraid of someone seeing him eat in public. And he always left at the same time everyday with a different excuse. They were good excuses, but nevertheless, they were excuses to leave and go to his car. He would leave for different times each day, usual short times, like five or ten minutes. Then, at home, he always left for even longer times, hours even with even more excuses.
Sci felt like there was something off.
But, he couldn't confront it, at least not today. With all of this paperwork he had to do, he couldn't do anything else but work. He knew talking about it face to face wouldn't work with Fell, so tonight he'd probably just follow him, see where he went.
Yeah, Sci decided in his mind, that looks like a good idea.
~~~~~~
For lunch, Ink and Dream had went to a popular coffee place down the street from their work, which was often filled with teenagers from the college nearby. The tavles were constantly being wiped down, so you could always see you're reflection inside of them. Dream liked to go to that coffee place often, since he liked the peppermint lattes and the cinnamon buns they sold.
Ink ordered for them both before they sat at a seat next to the window, watching as different kinds of cars drove past.
"So," Ink said, eating a bite of his sandwich, "What did you want to talk about?"
"So far, only Killer and Sci know," Dream said, "But after the autumn party, um, me and Killer did the dirty deed."
"Oh," Ink said, blinking.
"And, it looks like P.J is going to have a little friend," Dream said, looking down at his chest.
It took Ink a moment, but he figured out the hint and brought Dream into a hug over the table.
"Congratulations!" Ink said, "Is that why they broke up?"
"Yeah," Dream sniffed, looking on the verge of tears, "It is."
"Hey, I know how stressful being a parent is," Ink said, resting a hand on his shoulder, "But you have Killer with you, so you won't be stressed out too much. He broke up with Horror to help you raise a baby, isn't that the case?"
"Yeah," Dream said, "But, what if he left Horror for the kid and not me? W-What if he doesn't even love me? I'm scared, that he just wants to be with me to make up for his 'mistake'?"
"Oh, Dream," Ink said, "I know you're scared, having children is a scary thing that all new parents are terrified of. It's hard, but I'll help you! I understand what you're going through, and you don't need to be alone. I'm here, Sci's here, Killer's here, we're all here for you. You won't be alone like I was at the beginning of my pregnancy, we'll help you all the way through. Not to mention Killer is here, so it'll go by faster and it won't be as painful."
"But what if Killer only is helping because he feels like he has to?" Dream asked, "What if he doesn't love me, he just feels pressured into doing it?"
"It's ok," His boss said, "Just talk to him. If he doesn't want to take care of the baby, he's a jerk. If he does, then you guys can start dating and raise a child together."
"Ok," Dream said, drinking some of his coffee, "Thanks. I've been having a hard time sleeping because of how stressed I've been."
"Of course you will, that's one of the setbacks of being pregnant," Ink explained, "You also eat a lot, so you should stock your fridge. You'll also be drained of magic, because of the little soul. That's why you need to eat when you're hungry, because you'll starve more easily."
"Ok," Dream said nervously, "Do you have any other tips?"
"Oh, I have a lot!" Ink said, "Get comfortable, we'll be here awhile."
~~~~~~
Sci ducked down in his car, desperately hoping that Fell didn't see him.
He had used his own car to stalk Fell, who was driving towards his own house. Well, in the direction of it. Sci had been following him before Fell suddenly pulled over at a gas station and was filling up his car with gas before he had turned in Sci's direction, so Sci had to duck.
He stayed there for a few minutes to ensure he was safe before peaking up, only to see that Fell had left by then.
"Shoot!" Sci said, narrowing his eyes sockets, "How did he get out that quickly!"
~~~~~~
"So, that's the last of my boxes," Killer said.
After he and Horror had broken up, they decided that Horror could keep the house and Killer would move out with Dream. Horror obviously moved in Lust and his Mom in, since they started dating and their house was pretty bad.
"Killer," Dream suddenly said.
"Yeah?" He asked, looking over.
"Are you just moving in and dating me just because I was pregnant?" Dream said, looking down at the down, "I know you really liked H-Horror, and you didn't really like me, a-"
Suddenly, Killer engulfed his new boyfriend into a hug, burying his face into his shoulder.
"Dream," He said softly, "There's a reason why I did it with you Dream, and if I didn't love you, I would've left you with the baby. It wasn't an intention of mine to have a child with you so early, but I'm really happy it's with you. I love you, even though I had a hard time figuring out my emotions, I do."
Dream hugged him back, a soft smile of happiness spreading across his skull.
"I love you too, Killer," He whispered.
《》《》《》
But hey, HorrorLust and Kremé are confirmed! And some drama is definitely going to go down soon when Sci discovers where Fell goes to. This'll affect SciFell, DustBerry, Crossmare, and probably AfterDeath. And we're around 40 chapters now! I'm not sure how longer this book is going to be, but ErrInk will probably be the last ship to hook up, since Ink doesn't trust him and everything. I'll say around 5-10 chapters left as an estimate, but I could be completely wrong. I was never really good at estimating.
Also, I JUST recently watched UnderVerse on YouTube. Like, how did I miss it? I didn't know there was a full on story behind Cross, I thought it was just a creation with a story. I hate myself for only now just watching it, because it's AMAZING!
