Resting Point~Nightmare King Grimm x Human Female Reader

Chapter 17~Nightmare

*yo POV*

             It's been a few days. Grimm's on to me. We're currently sitting next to each other on the bed with Grimmchild. "...Y/N...you've been acting strange for a few days. Something wrong?" Grimm suddenly asks. "I-uh...everything's fine." I reply nervously. "It's about that nightmare you had a few nights ago, isn't it?" He says. ".....technically yes." That wasn't a lie... "Would you mind telling me what it was about?..." I freeze. "Uhm. I don't remember." I quickly reply.

"Well then you have no reason to be acting so worried!" Grimm tries to change my mood, but I'm just too terrified to do so. "Y-ya! You're right..." I stammer. Grimm looks at me suspiciously for a moment before pulling me into a hug. "You seem like you need it." He said. Grimm snuck his hand onto my chest (where your heart is, child) and asks, "Do you remember the nightmare?" That smart ass. I'm in trouble.

"Uh...not sure?.." I say, cautiously. I feel my heart rate spike. "...was it the Radiance?" He asks. "N-no..." Grimm sighs. "Then who?" Well how am I supposed to answer that?! I feel my body shaking as I try to pull away from the hug. Grimm just calmly keeps me in place while Grimmchild keeps teething in the key, not giving a crap. "Okay what's wrong. Did I do something?" Grimm asks. "U-uh...no."

         "I did do something. What is it? Please tell me!" Grimm says, worried. "I-It's nothing, really!" I reply, glaring at the floor. "I did. Don't lie. It's only going to make things worse." He says. Anxiety and stress flows through my body. I so badly want to yell, 'I KNOW WHAT YOU DID!' and get over it, but alas. "Y/N, please calm down. You're scaring me..." Grimm says, hugging me tighter. Though that didn't really help much. "Who was it about?" He asks. "Uhmmm...." I mumble. "I'll give you options. It's not the Radiance so... Pale King?"
"I don't think so..."
"...that Hollow Knight?"
"....no..."
"You can tell me anything, you know."
"..."
".....................was it Grimm?"
I don't reply. I can't reply. But I have to reply.
"Uhhh.....n-no?"
Grimm looks at me, terrified. He makes some room between us. "W.....what'd he tell you?" He says with a sinister tone. "H-he....didn't say anything important." I reply. He growls and asks, "What did he say." Alright Troupe Master Grimm was right. Something about his voice seemed off. "He's more dangerous than you think." Grimm's voice echos through my mind as I slowly grab my nail from behind. "I'm telling you! Nothing!" I exclaim. He sighs and grabs something. "Shit."

"I'm gonna count to three. If you don't tell me everything, someone's getting hurt." He says with a low voice. "I need to escape." I think.
"One."
"Two."
"..."
"Three."
Grimm lunges at me with his nail. I quickly block it with my own. "GAH! Grimm!! What the hell?" I say. "I need to know what he said." Grimm replied between deep breaths. "A-and why would you care?!" I yell. "Because I want you to be safe!" He replies and steps back. "Well this doesn't seem very safe!" I say. Grimm growls are lunges at me again. I attempt to block it, but he snatches my nail away and backs me up to a fucking wall. "What did he say. Please. I need to know." Grimm asks as he grips my right wrist. "It's really nothing! Y-you're overreacting!" I stammer. "Please, Y/N. Stop fucking lying." He says, tightening his grip. It began to hurt.

"H-he said...er-he told me....." Grimm somehow tightened his grip even more. "Tell me." He says. ....I think he bruised my wrist. Tears welled up in my eyes. "...............get off of me." I whisper. "Tell me what he said then I'll get off." He replies. "...you're hurting my wrist." I say honestly. Grimm smiles and grips it even tighter. "Am I? Am I really? Look. I'm as angry as you. Just tell me what shit he said and I'll tend to it, okay?" He says.

At this point, I just want to run away. Far, far away. The pain is unbearable now. Though all this pressure, I blurt out, "HE TOLD ME WHAT YOU DID! HOW YOU TOOK OVER HIS BODY AND MADE ME LEAVE THE GODDAMN TROUPE. There. Happy?!" I yell though tears. Grimm quickly let's go of my hand, causing me to fall to the floor. "I....shit." Was all he could say. He cautiously sits next to me and clears his throat. "Y/N...I'm so sorry...please...I-I had my reasons. Did I....hurt you badly?" He says. "...don't touch me you bitch." I said, glaring at my wrist. Grimm looks at me with empathy. "P-please.....is there anything I can do to show how sorry I am?" He asks. "Leave me alone, then." I reply. "...can I at least look at your wrist?...."
"No."

*NKG's POV*

           I messed up. Bad. Really bad. I pull Y/N into a gentle hug. "I'm so sorry...please...I-I-there is no excuse, is there..." I whisper. She slightly trembles in my grip. "I messed up. Really bad...please, Y/N...give me a chance..." I say as gently as possible. "I regret this so much."

*back to u*

             There's a weird feeling right now. A perfect mix between fear, loss of trust, hatred, and......love? Whatever. "Grimm was right....you are dangerous. You've proved it enough." I mumbled as I pushed him away, clutching my dead wrist. "No...wait. Please!" He begged. "What the hell is going on." I think. "....there's nowhere for me to go, is there." I say. Grimm shakes his head. "I-" I begin.
The ground shakes.
Grimmchild wakes up.
The wall breaks.
A blinding light shines on us.
"HELLO, hello! I've figured out how to travel~"
It was the Radiance.
The fucking Radiance.

Is this a long chapter? (1021 word count) YES! A long chapter. Not sure how that happened, it just did. Adios.
