Nightmares ~[Grimm X Reader]~

~ Chapter 14: a Family ~

                 The next day you took your blanket, violin case and Grimmy heading for the exit of the tent to head out on another walk to Greenpath. Grimmy was a growing child, with so much curiosity it was boundless. Letting him play around in Greenpath was the best way to have him use up his energy. Though as you walked for the exit, a too well known tall figure stood in your way. Arms crossed and his eyes burning bright in the shadows to seem intimidating.

           "And where are you going?" Grimm asked slowly, you looked up at him showing no fear now.

           "Out." Was your only response, going to walk around him before he stepped back and blocked you once again. 

           "Out where?" He continued to interrogate, which only made you angrier.

           "To Greenpath, for a walk." You hissed and as you tried to walk past him a second time but he gently grabbed your shoulder.

           "The road to Greenpath is dangerous and unpredictable. I think you should stay here." Grimm coaxed you, and you pulled away looking at him sharply.

           "We have traveled there before. It isn't so bad. We'll be careful." You argued back and Grimmy lowered his head onto your shoulder. A look of fear and worry in his eyes as you two argued.

           "I just don't want you and Grimmy to get hurt." Grimm sighed stepping closer.

           "I am no damsel in distress who constantly needs saving." You hissed and that was when Divine stepped in.

           "What's going on over here? I could hear you two from my tent!"

           "Y/n is trying to travel to Greenpath to spend time with the child, but the crossroads are hazardous. I've seen them myself…" Grimm crossed his arms with a bit of a huff and you did the same. Divine sighed softly.

           "I'm sure Y/n is a woman who can hold her safety and the child's safety to a good level. Though if you're so worried," she pointed to Grimm who dropped his arms and seemed a bit surprised before she pointed to you, "and you're so determined on going why not just bring Grimm along? Being cooped in this tent all day until nightfall is not good for you, going out during the day will not kill you so go with them, Grimm. Spend time with the child, and time with Y/n. She will be the one caring for him when you are gone, and you won't be around to tell her otherwise. So don't argue!" She clapped her hands together and Grimm sighed, clearly embarrassed as a light blush came to his face again.

           "I suppose you are not wrong." He mumbled, and you stood there quietly as you began to pet Grimmy's head. There was a long pause before Grimm cleared his throat. "If you wish to head out then I guess we're all going."

           "Fine. Then let's get going." You motioned him to follow you as you both left the tent. Divine smiling happily at you both as she left, proud that you had both come to an agreement.

           Grimm squinted a bit at the light of day as you walked past Dirtmouth, everything quiet as usual as far as you could tell. How was Elderbug doing? Cornifer and his wife? Had Ghost come through at all? All this random through your head and Grimm took notice.

           "You're always allowed to visit them, I don't want to keep you locked up in the tent Y/n I'm sorry if that was how I made it seem. Though the infected world around us is unpredictable, I took it upon myself to see some of it one night and… I don't want you to get hurt just as much as I don't want Grimmy to get hurt." He then admitted you looked up at Grimm with gentle eyes.
