I bleed for you ~A sequel to I bleed Red | An Ink x Reader~

(After a 4 month hiatus, I'm back. Extremely sorry for the wait. I just couldn't bring myself to write until a few days ago where I finally got my inspiration and motivation back. Not sure if it's going to stay but I should be back to writing for now. Again, very sorry for the hiatus)

~Y/n's POV~

I had all the items I thought were necessary packed into a large purse. There really wasn't much to bring. I had no idea what Deltarune might look like but that actually made me pretty excited. It's been so long since I've experienced an adventure into the unknown like this.

I also decided to freshen up a bit. My hair had been a mess since I had just woken up only an hour ago. After some combing through with a brush, it looked presentable now. Much better than before at least.

After doing one last check of everything and myself, I headed out the door. As excited as I was, there was also some anxiety building in my stomach. What if we did encounter Cross while we were there? What would happen? Surely nothing good...

Ink had his hands on his skull and elbows resting on his knees when I had entered the living room once more. I was really worrying about him... he seemed so stressed. I wish I knew how to make it better. I got the feeling there wouldn't be much I could do. Maybe if I gave him extra affection? I certainly wasn't against that.

When I started to approach Ink, he quickly returned to a normal sitting position. It seemed like he didn't want me to see how stressed he was. Well that wouldn't do...

He scooted a bit to make room for me on the couch and I sat myself extremely close to him, I was practically on his lap. He didn't seem to expect me to sit so close to him but certainly didn't mind. Surprisingly, he wasn't blushing. He flusters so easily so I knew something was up. I wasn't sure if I should press it though...

"Everything alright, babe?" I asked him in hopes he might just outright tell me. I wrapped my arm around his, I was really craving his touch after being apart from him. Jeez... I was addicted to him. It had been less than a day we were separated.

"Yeah, everything's..." Ink trailed off from his sentence, something apparently dawning on him based on his expression. "It's just-"

Ink was interrupted by Nightmare and Dream entering the room together. They seemed to be talking to each other about something and were paying us no mind. Despite that, Ink shied away from whatever he was going to say. So it must be something he's only willing to tell me...

"Are you guys ready?" Ink asked me and Night, putting up an unconcerned façade unlike the one he had before.

"I think I am, I wasn't exactly sure if there was anything specific I should bring." I answered, deciding to drop Ink's behavior. He seemed like he didn't want to talk about it in company.

"Me neither, but I should have the essentials." Nightmare responded, checking through the purse that he had strapped across his chest. That was... actually pretty adorable on him.

"That should be all you need, I don't expect we'll be staying long. Unless Ralsei decides he's going to be extra hospitable..." Ink muttered the last part to himself.

"Ralsei?" I questioned him, the name seemed familiar in some weird way. I knew for certain I have never met a Ralsei but that didn't shake the weird familiarity.

"Oh, right. I guess I should tell you two about the people in Deltarune so you can be... prepared."

"I expect we'll run into Kris first. Kris is extremely quiet so don't really expect him to say much or anything at all." (Yes I'm making Kris a 'him' in this book, sue me)
