You almost piss yourself as you wake up to the sound of your iPhone alarm tone. You chuckle under your breath as you turn it off, remembering how you put the iPhone alarm sound on your android phone. You fucking maniac. Stretching, you get off your bed and make your way to the kitchen for breakfast. Today wasn't like any other day however... today was the day you were beginning your job at the new Freddy Fazbear's Family Diner!
After years of disappointed relatives, self loathing, and begging for money, you finally scored yourself a job! Finally. I mean, jeez, what took you so long? This is a minimum wage job and it took you that long to find it? Like dang, get your shit together. I- uh, anyways... you finish eating your water cereal (bc you can't afford milk), and head to your room to get dressed. You slip into the almost business casual uniform you were supplied with and leave.
Oh, you thought you were gonna drive there?? Nahhhh you're walking. Its only a couple blocks anyways, no biggie. You walk down the sidewalk, passing several stores that you almost walk into, but remember you literally have no money. Eventually though, you reach Freddy's. You take a deep breath, then walk right in, almost getting obliterated by a group of kids running by, "woah- shits bonkers" you think to yourself,
"HOW many times have I told you all to stop running around? We can't have you getting hurt," you look up to see a dorky looking guy, standing next to a super lanky, almost sick looking guy. The kids immediately stop in there tracks and start walking, "Thank you very much," he says, then goes back to talking to the lanky mf. SHEESH that beanpole looking SEGGSI tho?!?!?!?!?! Nah, not infront of the kids. You go to introduce yourself, since those guys look like they work here, "hey uh- im f/n l/n. I just started working here," the dorky guy looks over at you, "oh, hey! My name's Henry Emily. And this is William Afton."
William nods and smiles slightly at you. Oh, so he's SHYYYYYYYY- Okay papi I get u 😏, "We're actually the co-owners of this place, so we should probably show you around," Henry says humbly. OH FUCK WILLIAM'S MY BOSS?!?!?!? "Sounds great!" You beam, hoping you don't sound too shocked. Henry takes you around and shows you the ins and outs of the joint. Eventually you make it to the Parts and Service room. Henry stops, "This is where Will spends most of his time. We might have you work a little in here as well so we can speed things up."
William seemed a little taken aback by this, "Ah- that won't be necessary. I can handle it on my own. I-," Holy shit he's BRITISH?? the heck's a British guy doin in Utah??? Henry cuts him off, "Now, Will, I know you're fully capable, but wouldn't it make things much easier if you had a little help? Besides, she won't be in there full time like you," He ends with a friendly laugh. William just gives him an annoyed, but goofy look and heads into the room.
"Just between you and me, y/n. Will's just a little socially awkward." Henry whispers to you, almost like a girl at a sleepover party. You stifle a laugh and say sarcastically, "didn't even notice." He smiles and motions toward the room, "Well I guess you outta get to work then?" You zone back into your own planet, "Oh, right! See ya, Henry!" You give him a small wave before you enter the room. It smells ODDLY clean in this mf. Like HOSPITAL clean. Like probably hiding something clean. You look over and see William hovering over what looks to be a blueprint. Nonchalantly, you go and stand next to him, "So uh, what can I help with?"
He tenses a little, "Um, well, right now I'm working on designs for new animatronics, but I'm not sure how I feel about the color scheme," Your eyes light up. Having grown up always being the kid who would draw during class, you know your way around colors, "Oh, man, I got you!" You scoot in closer to inspect the drawings. They all had super intricate designs, especially around the stomach area, oddly. After sitting in awe for a moment, you snapped back to reality, "I see, you need to make sure they all coordinate together instead of with themselves."
"Uh.. dumb that down for me?" He says quietly. You smile, "I would suggest using a warmer color pallet."
"Oh, thank you."
The two of you sit in silence for a moment before you can't take it anymore, "Soon, you're really into this mechanical stuff, huh?" He looks up, "What makes you say that?"
"You're super talented. I don't know the first thing about machinery, but you look like you've known about it your whole life." He relaxes, "Thanks. I mean, im flattered. Most people think that making robot animals for a living is a little odd," He jokes. "Well, Mr. Afton, I happen to be a little odd," you say presumptuously.
He laughs, "What do you say we start building, hm?" You brush a hair behind your ear, "I'm game if you are." He starts taking parts out of a box and organizing them into neat piles. You almost get lost in his accent as he explains what to do. Eventually, the two of you lose track of time, laughing and building. You honestly never thought you'd have such a great time working. At some point, Henry pops in to tell the two of you that it's break time.
You almost didn't want to take a break.
