||mentions of death

Nightmare tilted his head as SD groaned, a smile forms onto his face as SD turns to stare at him. He set his knife down the table and stared at him eye to eye, feeling the butterflies in his stomach swallow him whole.

SD. SD.

The only one in his mind constantly, he touched SD's cheek earning a flinch from the other skeleton, he looked as if he wanted to say a few things. Nightmare let go immediately.

"Nightmare? What's going on...?" SD was always a beloved friend, it was unfortunat that he is taken. Well, was.

Ink didn't need to be in he picture, he could've gone about his daily life, living as peacefully and normally as could be, but unfortunately he chose to be SD's significant other, and in Nightmare's story, he was in the way.

He dipped the blood-soaked knife in a pot of water, watching as blood overrun the water, the used-to-be clear water turned into a deep and dangerous red. Feeling satisfied as SD took a look of contemplation, he let the knife sit there.

"It's nothing. No need to worry your pretty little head." He quips.

"This isn't nothing— where's Ink?" SD asked, and Nightmare loathed the concern on his face as he did so.

"You don't need to worry about him." He says, he peeked at him, SD sighed, almost in relief, for what relief, Nightmare does not know. "You could say he's out of the picture."

"For a while," He added, a smile on his face as he stared down at the blood soaking his gloves, "Maybe forever."

SD seemed to connect the dots as he visibly stiffened, hands gripping at the edge of his seat, the pure confusion and worry evident on his face. Nightmare smiled again, sincere, this time.

"You— You killed Ink?" He asks.

"Of course, the only one who could kill that bug..."

"Is Me."

As Nightmare's facial expressions soften, he clasped his hands together, the smile returns to his face, albeit with a little more malice at the thought of Ink.

"But worry not, my love." He says, "We can be together now."

He snaps his fingers, "No more little bugs in my way, no one to stop me..."

But he rubs his chin a bit, eyes staring at the opening portal. "But then again, sweetheart, maybe there are a few other pests to deal with."

"Nightmare—!"

SD turns to look, seeing a few skeletons he recognizes as a few of Ink's friends and some others he couldn't recognize.

Nightmare wastes no time, with a flick of his finger, a new set of binds wrapped around SD, SD yelps a bit in surprise as Nightmare opens a portal and jokingly salutes at the approaching skeletons.

"You're a little too late." Nightmare says, smug. "Goodnight gentlemen."

SD and Nightmare haven't been seen since then.
