Nightmare and you continued to exchange rude names as you shrieked loudly at each other in the middle of the living room, the skeleton shooting daggers in his gaze while narrowing his eye sockets sharply with every remark you shot at him. A large scowl had grown on his skeletal face brimming with rage with his eyelights glowering, as well as his tendrils flickering gingerly on his back like a whip.

“JUST SHUT THE HELL UP…!”

He bellowed in a destructive manner when a tentacle abruptly snapping right across your face harshly while leaving a dark mark, retracting slowly behind Nightmare as his eye sockets widened with sudden shock. His scowl faltered to a concerned frown where the skeleton’s glare from before softened heavily to a worried gaze while his clenched fists uncurled from his sudden burst. He reached out his bony hands slightly to your face, becoming surprisingly more gentle than before as he tried to examine the aftermath of the hostile slap.

“I-I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to-“

Nightmare stammered quietly with the same distraught expression as his non existent eyebrows creased deeply onto his skull, the tentacles calming down and resulting into a leisurely sway surrounding the two of you.
