Papa Nightmare? [Nightkiller] [English Version]

CHAP 32

(Song recommended by @Starbf247 , Thank you for this beautiful song!)  

~A few weeks before~

Narrator:

Nightmare was in his office finishing paperwork, a lot had happened in the last few months and the only thing he could do was try his best to finish early and spend time with his son.

The only thing left to do was organize everything, placing the papers in 3 levels: Urgent, can wait and not so important at the moment.

Looking at the mountain of papers he had, those would be some long hours of work.

~Hours later~

When everything was over, the nightmare was in front of Dream's house.

His intention was to knock on the door but just by bringing his hand closer, the door suddenly opened and he almost fell to the floor due to the sudden weight that fell on him.

"Papa!" shouted Crescent who lunged at his father, being so happy that his dad had arrived a little more earlier.

"How's my little Crescent Moon?" The king of nightmares asked holding Crescent in a more appropriate manner and entering the door.

"I had so much fun today! Uncle Dream made cookies and Cousin Lux and I played around the house!" Crescent said excitedly, without forgetting any detail of the things he had done that day.

"Welcome home brother" Dream greeted coming out of the kitchen with Lux behind him.

"W-welcome h-home uncle Nightmare..." Lux greeted shyly.

That reaction seemed strange to the nightmare, normally his niece always welcomed him happily when he returned.

Nightmare had moved into Dream's house with the intention of not having to travel back and forth, and so like that Crescent wouldn't feel alone while he worked.

During the time he had lived in Dream's house, his niece had grown fond of him and treated him like he was her father.

"Why so shy all of a sudden?" Nightmare asked putting Crescent down and putting his gaze on his niece "Come here" the nightmare spoke taking Lux and carrying her.

Lux just giggled and hugged her uncle by the neck, giving him a kiss on his cheekbone. There was the Lux that Nightmare knew.

At this Crescent just looked with an angry pout at his father who was paying more attention to his cousin than him.

"Why the long face champion?" Nightmare asked, noticing the pout his son was making.

"Cousin Lux was just pretending" Crescent stated, turning his face away angrily.

"Jealous?" Lux asked with a victorious expression.

With that phrase a small fight began between the two, in the end Nightmare had to let Lux go down and the two little ones went to solve their problems by having a competition, which was about who left the plate empty at dinner without leaving the vegetables aside.

The four of them had dinner together and the two twins could only watch the competition that Lux and Crescent had in amusement.

That was a peaceful night (Excluding the childish fight that Lux and Crescent had), the two little ones went to sleep and the adults had something to discuss.

"We need to talk Nightmare" Dream spoke forming a serious expression.

When Dream called Nightmare by his name even when they were alone it meant that it was something of utmost importance and that it should not be taken lightly.
