Nightmare Pov: I felt myself wake up. I realized I was still on the couch. I felt around and felt that ccino was still next to me. The tv was still loud.

I dont remember falling asleep, but apparently I did.

"Morning Mr snore"

"What..?"

"You where snoring pretty loudly. Hehe"

"........crap...."

I hear him laugh before speaking again

"Hey. Let's go on a walk."

"What..? I cant. Do you forget I cant see..? Or the fact that I'm basically the multiverse's villain? The other monsters will call those star sanses." I say, growling slightly under my breath at the thought of them.

"I can teleport us where no one is. And I can lead you! Come on. Please..???"

I sit silently in though.

"Where would you take us..?"

"To waterfall! Away from undyne of course.."

I think again.

Waterfall is a beautiful place.. and even though I cant see it, the calming sounds of streams rushing nearby, the swaying of flowers and grass, and the endless chatter of echo flowers enticed me.

I quietly sigh before agreeing. I can basically sense his smile from here.

He slowly sets his hand on my shoulder and I feel a shiver go down my spine as I feel us teleport.

I hear gentle streams nearby and chirping from insects. I hear rustling of grass and flowers from the gentle breeze and the distant patterns of talking from echo flowers.

I feel ccino let go of my shoulder and I use my tendrils to feel the ground around me. I feel them run through wet grass covered in dew drops. I feel a nearby stream and a few fish nibble at my tendrils. Not knowing what it is.

I smile and I feel the positivity around ccino grow.

He gently grabs my wrist and leads me to the edge of the small stream. i feel him sit down and I sit down as well.

"So... why did you want to come here..?" I ask as i run my hand through the water, feeling the rocks and pebbles at the bottom of the shallow water with my fingers.

"I dont know.. I just really like this place. Not to mention your color scheme kinda reminds me of an echo flower."

"Huh.. I never thought of it that way.."

"Yep! The only difference is you keep to yourself. Hehe"

I chuckle as well. Silence overwhelmed us as we sat down. It was a comforting silence though. I sat listening intently to the water when I remembered something

Waterfall is dark.

No bright lights to blind me.

I could let my goop melt off my eyes and see again..-

But..

Ccino..

He cant see what I'm feeling..-

The advice shattered gave me rang in my head. I shivered and 'looked' torwards the ground.

I felt like someone was staring at me, and I was correct, seeming how ccino spoke up.

"Are you alright..?"

"........"

He goes quiet at hearing me not respond. I feel the stress build and i decide to talk about my worries

"Ccino.."

"Yea..?"

"Do you actually care or is this just some big scheme in order to find out my weaknesses. I cant think of any other reason why youd want to help me.. "

He stayed silent. As if shocked.

"Well.." he began "I do care.. I dont know how to prove it. But i really do enjoy being around ya. I dont care about your weaknesses. They're no use to me. I have no intent of harming you.. that's a promise."

".........."

I smile, and feel the stress dissolve as I allow the goo to drip off one of my eyes like I would normally be.

The blue illuminated flowers surrounded us as we sat by a shallow, yet still beautiful stream. I feel a positive aura next to me grow and I look over.

A skeleton sits next to me. Pale, yet full of life eyes stare into mine. His smile seems to shine and his outfit looks comfortable despite the small stains of coffee spills all over it.

He beemed as he spoke. Almost to happy to sit still.

"Wow...! Your eye really is a bright cyan... I love it!" He smiles wider.

I give a small awkward laugh, not use to all the compliments.

"What made you decide to see again..?" He asked.

"Well... my eyes are actually very sensitive. Any bright light hurts me. But waterfall is dark and beautiful. So I wanted to see it. Not to mention i wanted to see what you looked like. Your different then I imagined. In a good way."

I sit there, staring at the water before I suddenly something gets thrown on my lap. I look down and sharpen my tendrils just in case, to see a pair of sunglasses.

I look at ccino who smiles.

"Those can help with your eyes Mr Snore." He laughs at his own joke..















Something in me rised at that moment..-
























I felt anxious and flustered-


























I felt clingy and caring-



































































I felt....love-








































I smile back as the wind rustles by our feet



















































And the echo flowers tell us our conversation back to us as we chat for hours on end.
