Papa Nightmare? [Nightkiller] [English Version]

CHAP 31

Narrator:

Killer had left Nightmare's office in a hurry, he had promised to keep that truth to himself until the day he died, a promise he was about to break in just a matter of seconds.

'Stupid, stupid, stupid!' he repeated itself over and over again in his mind, he really wanted to scream and expel all his stored feelings at once.

'Why did I have to fall in love with someone like him?!' he wondered in his head.

"Stupid and sexy Nightmare! Why did you have to be so hot!?"

(*Cough* *cough* film 2)

'Stupid Nightmare! I hate you and everyone associated with you!' He told himself in his mind, he was truly angry, reaching the point where several tears began to soak his face.

'What did I do to make fate treat me like this?' He reproached between small sobs.

Killer tried to wipe his tears desperately, the mere fact of crying made him feel weak, being surprised by someone who suddenly took his hand.

"A-are you okay?" asked a soft, trembling voice behind him.

Surprised, Killer turned his head immediately, not expecting to see the figure of that little boy who was the reason for what had just happened, who tremblingly grabbed his hand.

"I-I don't want you to cry" the little boy spoke again with a sad tone when he noticed the murderer's tears.

Killer's anger and sadness disappeared with those simple words, he felt the need to comfort the little boy even though he was the one who was crying non-stop a few seconds ago and he was going to do it that way.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hate that child, something deep in his soul prevented him from doing so.

He didn't know if it was because he looked like Nightmare or because he had the same name as his son. Whatever the reason was he no longer cared.

Killer wiped away his tears and knelt at Crescent's height, placing his hand on his head and gently caressing it.

"I'm not crying anymore, see?" Killer replied, showing him a smile.

The expression on Crescent's face changed from sad to happy at those words, hugging Killer on impulse.

The killer was surprised, not knowing how to react to such an act by the little boy for a few seconds, reacting and managing to calm down.

'How can I get mad at this little thing?' He questioned himself, reciprocating Crescent's hug.

That hug continued for several minutes, becoming a little uncomfortable for Killer. He needed to return soon if he didn't want to find Nightmare in that situation, and on the other hand, it upset him to think about how worried his brothers must be.

"Don't you think that's enough Crescent?" Killer asked nervously.

Crescent clung tightly to Killer, burying his head even deeper into his chest with no intention of letting go.

"I don't want to!" Crescent refuted without loosening his grip.

"Don't be selfish Crescent, you're making Killer uncomfortable" replied Nightmare who was leaning on one of the walls, apparently he had been there for a while.

'When did he arrive?!' thought the killer, surprised by the sudden presence of the monster that he had no desire to see at the moment, diverting his gaze to the side.

"I don't want to get away from Mom!" Crescent rebutted again still clinging to the killer.

"M-mom?!" Killer exclaimed more than bewildered.
