Cuddles [Nightkiller]

                                    

                                          
Blood. Blood was trickling down his abdomen. Killer stared at the large wound on his abdomen before smiling. Tears of bittersweet joy escaped his eye sockets and he couldn't help but take a few quickened breaths and look up.
The golden corridors of the judgement hall stared at him and the human stared down at him as he fell to his knees and bled.
An end... Finally an end... Killer couldn't help but smile as his body turned to dust...
Then he woke up.
Back in bed, a baby skeleton still suckling on his breast and an empty space beside him.
He almost lost his mind at that moment until he felt the baby in his arms slowly stir and knead his breast. The black-teared skeleton sighed and slowly cradled his son, letting out a weak smile.
He looked to his side, hoping that Nightmare would magically be there but he wasn't. Instead, he was just there in the empty, large bedroom...alone with his kid.
Soon, the baby fell asleep and Killer fixed up his shirt before gently placing the small frail baby bones in the crib. He gave Merciless a little kiss on his forehead and tiredly made his way back to the bed.
He sat down on the soft mattress and ended up staring at the door.
Back then, before they even got engaged, they'd be the wildest, most freakiest people in a room but now? Killer barely even gets to talk to his own Husband.
The best of their interactions now were either just staring at each other or a simple "Night-" "Here's some cash for the kids, groceries, and yourself.".
Another great thing about them now? Nightmare doesn't even request for coffee anymore and instead, just goes to the local cafe.
When they'd sleep at night, they always had their backs turned. Even if it was winter and about -20 degrees out.
No genuine cuddles, no dates, no flirting, no looks, basically nothing. They did nothing as a married couple now.
All Nightmare did now was sleep, work, cafe, greet the kids, work, sleep at 3 AM then repeat.
And Killer? Wake up, deal with the kids, eat alone, clean, sit around feeling shitty, maybe a few talks with friends, buy groceries if needed, deal with the kids again, sleep, all while dealing with a 4 month-old baby bones simultaneously.
It felt like 2 separate worlds between them.
Killer grew tired of staring at the never-opening door and just fell back down on the bed and tried forcing himself to sleep. And it failed miserably.
He laid on his side, opposite of Nightmare's side of the bed and pulled up the blankets over himself. 
As he stared at the Merciless' crib and sighed. At least the baby bones was there to cheer him up.
He closed his eyes and tried to force himself to sleep once more and finally fell asleep.

Nightmare groggily opened the bedroom door and silently walked in, letting out a silent yawn. He looked around the dark room and saw his wife laying on the bed, asleep on the side of it.
He walked silently towards the crib and glanced down, seeing Baby Merciless there, sleeping peacefully. He let out a slight smile and booped the baby bones' forehead, muttering: "Good night, sweet dreams..." And eventually made his way onto his bed.
He couldn't help but stare at Killer's sleeping figure and feel a little bit hurt seeing his back turned to him. He sighed, sitting on the bed and stared at the open balcony door.
