Blackout
For barely a second, Nightmare is floating in utter darkness, and then there's solid ground of the familiar room under his feet, bursts of colours and sounds. Geno's laboratory. It's somehow easier to dream-walk into this room. There's no one but Geno himself, it's his space, their space — where he can be alone, but also where he can talk with Nightmare without caution. The roof of the skeleton brothers' house could be the second spot like that, but Sans loves stargazing as much as Geno does, keeping most of their shared soul, uneven parts of the whole, so similar yet so different.
Nightmare sits right on the floor quietly, waiting for Geno to notice him. He's working on something, muttering under his breath, and Nightmare has no intention to interrupt him. He's patient, and besides, it's always lovely to see one of his most important beings so invested, so passionate. It's almost like he's getting used to living on the Surface, with not one but two brothers, humans who are not murderers, and even Nightmare, although not tangible anymore, somehow has fit into this new life.
It's more than Geno ever expected, yet Nightmare knows, feels the negativity coming from Geno. His trauma feels bigger than the entire world. Nightmare, although he's been through a hell of his own, barely can relate. He still tries.
Geno sighs, putting his instruments away, and turns around. There's a small smile on his face, though. It grows when he notices Nightmare, sitting beside him on the floor. "night!" he shout-whispers, "been a few days! what were you up to?"
Nightmare leans closer, if not for touch — they apparently could only do that in the void of the screen, — then for smell. Geno still smells like determination extract, from his own dose and from all the experiments he's performed. It's become somewhat comforting.
"I was checking some AUs and keeping the journals in order. Also hiding them. One already got destroyed, I don't want that to repeat." Nightmare sighs. Geno clenches his palms, "jerks, all of them. you're brilliant, and kind, and you're an excellent listener, but all they see is your role. it's not like you're abusing your power!"
Nightmare grins softly. He knows Geno's rants to a word, and it's always a treat. So much resentment towards the villagers, but also so much love for him. Both make things to his poor heart.
"I love you," Nightmare says, suddenly even for himself. There's just so much he can't hold it inside.
Geno responds immediately, "love you too, night."
Right then, everything shuts down, from a lamp to Geno's devices.
Geno warns, "no panic, that happens. at least i'm finished for today." He then chuckles, "a blackout. how romantic. if it's happened to the entire town, we might see the stars. care to join?" Nightmare nods, then realises he can't be seen in the darkness and agrees verbally, "I don't see why not. Stars are always beautiful. They're always seen in Dreamtale; there's no Underground and no big cities, as far as I know, so no light pollution for us guardians of the Tree."
"quit boasting, we both know i'm jealous," Geno laughs like he always does with Nightmare, oh so very fondly. It's a shame Nightmare can't see his face.
They go up in comfortable silence. Nightmare would like to hold hands, but since it's not possible anymore, he can listen to Geno's measured, confident even in this darkness steps, the rustling of his lab coat that he once again forgets to take off… About that.
"Your coat," Nightmare reminds him, stifling giggles. It's wonderful to support each other even with these little things.
Nightmare still wants to hold hands. But it's either touch or Geno's freedom, and Nightmare would never make him choose.
Geno locks his lab and leads Nightmare to the main house with a short, playfully sweet "Follow me." Nightmare would blush if he could.
They go to the roof, the house dark and silent — "sans and papyrus are on a sleepover at undyne and alphys'," Geno explains. He unlocks and opens the door. They go outside, chasing soft, cool breeze, so pleasant for the body, chasing the stars and the moon, so lovely for the souls trapped in their own inner darkness.
It's beautiful. They're beautiful, although hurt and abused awfully.
"Looks like the blackout did indeed affect the whole town. We've got the sky all for ourselves," Nightmare says, a little smile on his face. Geno grins in return, "looks like it."
"Show me your constellations! I had to learn ours to show them to Dream, back when there were no villagers, and I'm curious if yours are different."
"sure thing!"
They sit until the morning comes, or, well, Nightmare sits; Geno falls asleep just a bit earlier, and although his back — or, honestly, everything — will likely ache terribly after that, it's not like Nightmare can bring him to the room. He's not tangible in Aftertale.
And a little after the dawn, he's back again in utter darkness, and then he wakes up in Dreamtale, smiling brightly.
What was supposed to be a routine visit has become a date.
How lucky they are to find each other.

Special thanks to @bluepallilworld for the challenge!
Take care 🌻
"There's something…I want to tell you…"
"What is it, Geno?"
Nightmare glances at the speaking skeleton, waiting for him to finish his sentence.
"I……"
"Nevermind."
The guardian of negativity sighs while feeling the surrounding seems to fade away bit by bit.
"After all, I know you won't finish that sentence. You're just a part of my dream."
Whispering to himself, Nightmare opening his eyes and gaze around his bedroom tiredly.
"You're just a part of my past."
