Blind Love (Reader X Nightmare Sans)

The Shadow's Claim

I sank into my seat with a heavy sigh, a profound sense of unease settling over me like a suffocating shroud. There I sat, motionless and perturbed, grappling with the inexplicable turn my life had taken. Disbelief gnawed at the edges of my consciousness as I blinked, my mind struggling to come to terms with the bewildering reality unfolding before me.

In the mere span of two days, my existence had been irrevocably altered. I had been bestowed with a newfound ability to perceive the unseen, my senses now attuned to the eerie depths of the supernatural. And yet, alongside this newfound sight, I found myself inexplicably wielding dark, shadowy powers-ominous abilities that left me trembling with apprehension at their very implications.

My gaze shifted to the trio of skeletons adjacent to me, my new silent companions. Over the past month, I had endured the trauma of being kidnapped not once, but twice, each abduction somehow leading to my unexpected salvation.

"Welp this is totes awkward Broski." The 80's kaleidoscope skeleton got up. "I'm gonna go eat, check ya out l8r bruh! FRESH POOF!"

I coughed involuntarily as a cloud of pink smoke mixed with glitter enveloped my face, leaving me blinking in confusion and mild discomfort. Peering through the dissipating haze, I found myself utterly perturbed by the surreal display before me.

Turning to my companions, I gestured towards the vacated seat of the kaleidoscopic skeleton, my voice tinged with bewilderment. "Is his departure always so... theatrical?" I inquired, seeking some semblance of clarity amidst the whimsical chaos unfolding around me. Their exchanged glances spoke volumes, silently affirming the peculiarity of our situation, before they nodded in unison, their response laden with a shared understanding of the inexplicable nature of our newfound reality.

"Hey," Dream's voice broke through my reverie, gently coaxing me back to the present moment. "How about we step outside for a bit? Get some fresh air."

With a weary sigh, I mulled over his suggestion, contemplating the prospect before finally accepting with a nod.

As we made our way through the ornate columns adorning the grand foyer, each intricately carved with elaborate motifs, I couldn't shake the feeling of being transported into another realm entirely. The soft glow of sunlight filtering through stained glass windows cast ethereal patterns on the marble floor, guiding our path towards the lush oasis beyond.

Passing through the threshold into the garden, a wave of tranquillity washed over me as the gentle rustle of leaves and the sweet scent of blooming flowers enveloped my senses. Here, amidst the verdant expanse of greenery and vibrant bursts of colour, I found solace in the embrace of nature's embrace.

I stole a glance at him, only to find him hastily averting his gaze, his expression unreadable yet strangely intense. Together, we traversed the serene expanse of the garden, the tranquillity of the surroundings juxtaposed against the palpable tension between us.

"Um..." his voice wavered, uncertain as he sought to break the uneasy silence. "So, uh, do you enjoy nature?" he ventured, his attempt at small talk tinged with a hint of awkwardness as he flashed a hesitant smile.

I offered a hesitant shrug in response, my uncertainty mirrored in my voice. "I suppose so," I replied, my tone betraying the lingering disbelief of a world previously unseen. "Although truth be told, this is all rather new to me."

His curiosity piqued, he cocked his head inquisitively, prompting me to continue. "You see, I was blind... until recently," I admitted hesitantly, my gaze drifting away as I struggled to articulate the inexplicable sequence of events that had led me to this moment. "It's... it's hard to explain, but it all started with an apple."
