Marionette x Reader

Chapter 7

The footsteps had faded enough whatever had its hand on your mouth slowly removed it. You were frozen, but decided to built up enough courage to turn and face who it was behind you. Slowly you turn to face this thing only to see it was the marionette, you looked at him in complete surprise. "Are you alright?" He spoke softly as he looked at you up and down. This was odd, wasn't the toy animatronics out of service? Or did that not include marionette and balloon boy? You weren't sure so you decided to forget that. "Yeah im fi—" "No you're not" he cuts you off as he looks down, you looked at him confused, no? What do you mean im not? You decided to look down as well and saw a pool of blood coming from your leg which made you softly gasp, with all the adrenaline you didn't realize that the animatronic back there actually cut you and fairly deep as well, you weren't in pain yet but that cut was entirely bad. "Wait here" he said and quickly left the box, leaving you alone wondering what is his plan with this.

[Marionette's pov]

I spot blood coming from her leg and took a close look at it, it was a deep wound and blood was coming out fast, its possible that due to all her running that adrenaline was up and high, but once that adrenaline leaves the pain will sink in bad, not to mention that if that blood doesn't stop it will be bad. I quickly grab that aid-kit on the wall closes to my box and quickly got back inside the box to aid her. I broke an upper part of her pants to get a better view and work better on the injury, it was very bad. I grabbed that piece of fabric i ripped and tied it above the injury to slow down the blood flow, i then grabbed a towel to pat down the injury, they had a water bottle in this with the towel which im not sure if it's convenient or stupid that someone thought this would help in a situation. I glance at her and i see her face has gone pale, it must've been that blood lose, I quickly wet the towel and gently pat it over the wound to clean and remove most of the blood. "A-ah... it's starting to hurt" she says, the adrenaline must be wearing off. "I'll be as gentle as possible, but i gotta clean this well" i say trying to reassure her that I won't hurt her injury, she nods and closes her eyes, im assuming she doesn't want to look at this anymore, and to be fair, it looks very bad. I shake my head as i think on who could've done this, fuck, if i has been there on time I would've prevented this! This shouldn't have happened. I get some butterfly stitches and apply them on the wound, these are cuts that go down the leg so i think these can work, i grab the open wound and start closing with one hand as the other one i use to place the stitches, it's tricky but this should work.

I look back up at her and see her eyebrows furrowed in pain as she tries not to whine in pain.  I continue to work quickly placing them on her leg, it seems for the most part the bleeding has stopped and the wounds have closed well enough. "All done" i looked up at her "i did my best so i hope this will hold well enough" i say, she opens her eyes and looks down at her leg. I remove the piece of fabric that was stopping the blood flow and everything seemed good, she gave a soft smile and I couldn't help but smile myself, but then compose myself back. "Thank you" i look at her "Thank you for aiding me" I smile "hey, its my pleasure, i had to make sure you were alright" she smiled back at me but then it fell. "Can i ask you something" i nod awaiting her question "if you were active, why didn't you come help me? I neared died back then" she frowns, if only you knew how badly i tried to get to you. "The music box" i said "when you play it, I can't move at all, once the music stops im allowed to move" Her face shoed realization, as if she understood something "by the time the music box stopped completely you were in the vents, so I waited for you to come down to help you" it was the best explanation i could give. "Because of my own fault i almost died" i looked at her confused, what are you saying (y/n)? "I kept winding up the music box without knowing well that if i had stopped you could've come to me, im so stupid" i looked at her surprise, what? No, hey, don't think that! "Hey, its okay, you didn't know, you made it out which was more important, just don't wind that music box anymore, I want to help you if this ever happens again okay?" I saw her nod, trust me (y/n) I'll protect you.

She then turns to me and smiles, that made something in me jump, if i had a heart it probably would've skipped a beat, she's so pure and beautiful, what luck to finally be talking to her. "Also can i say something?" I ask and she nods "I see you've actually grown" I joked and she gives me a playful look "hey!" She acts as if she is mad "what does this mean? You mean to tell me im short?!" I laughed "only a little~" i teased as she playfully hit my shoulder. "You don't change do you?" She said as she smiled" "im the same marionette you always knew" i smiled back. It was nice to have her back she was always an amazing child, but when she walked through that door on her first day i found myself deep in thought, she's even more beautiful now, what's up with me? Do i like her? She's just so different and made me feel in a different way too, like i wanted to hold her hand but i was afraid.

For the rest of the night we both catch up on what had happened overtime. It all felt so nice, we both laughed, we joked and we got to just enjoy it all. The night sped up and the bell rang, its over already? But it felt like it had just started! She looked at me with a sad smile and I understood it was time for her to go, i helped her get up and out of the music box without her hurting herself. "Thank you, i have to go get my stuff" she said "wait here" i said as i went to the office and got her things. Before leaving the office i eyed the place to see any trace a blood but to ny surprise it seemed like the pants absorbed most of it. I walked back down to her and handed her all her things "here you go, we don't beed you to hurt your leg" i say concern, she took a lot of damage tonight, the least she could do was rest. She smiled and thank me "I'll see you tonight" she said and winked "I can't wait" i said half jokingly, we both smiled and i saw her leave the place and get in her car, I didn't noticed it much but i was frowning, id do anything to spend more time with her. Once she left i got back inside the box and laid there, her entering my mind often, maybe i am falling for her? This is probably too soon and she probably doesn't feel the same.

While my mind went on with those thoughts i shut my eyes and kept thinking.
