Chapter 26 - Don't Feel Bad

Freddy's systems buzzed and stirred as he woke up. His eyes blinking at they adjusted. His power was low and he needed to charge desperately. As he began to move he noticed a weight on him so he looked down. When he saw your resting form cuddle up to him, he didn't have the heart to move. He suddenly remembered last night, how upset you were. He stared at you with sad eyes, guilt building up.

He agreed with you, it wasn't fair. You helped and supported these children, making them happy, but you never get to see them. His ears dropped a little. You curled up against him as you slept soundly. The intercoms spoke, informing Freddy and the gang to get ready for the performance of the day. Freddy sighed, he didn't want to move, he was happy just relaxing with you, but he didn't have a choice. No one did.

Cautiously he nudged you, trying to shake you awake. with a groggy yawn, you sleepily opened your eyes. "Good morning Butterfly, sorry to wake you but it is time to preform and its your first time on stage after many months," Freddy gently smiled at you. You weakly nodded and sat up on the couch. You were stiff and quite, embarrassed from Freddy seeing you upset. Freddy watched as you began to brush your tail with your claw. "I'm sorry," you apologised, "I didn't mean to make you stay here all night helping me." Freddy shook his head, "I was happy to help. And you don't need to worry, I will always be there for you." You slightly smiled with a faint nod. Freddy stood up and stretched before offering you his paw, "now, lets go and have some fun."

During the performance Freddy could tell you were down. Your drumming was sloppy and your eyes were kept down, glaring into the drum set. Your usual enthusiastic smile was replaced with a monotone face, your ears were flat and your tail was flat on the floor. As you played you sat slouched with your shoulders slumped. Freddy felt his own smile deplete at the sight of you. He felt guilty that he was happy and you were not.

After the show Freddy had to go charge, which he really didn't want to do. He was glued to your side, not wanting to leave. He had to be escorted to his room in Rockstar Row to charge. About three security guards and five security bots had to drag him away from you. When he agreed to charge, he made sure to let you know he would be soon. "After I charge we can go have some fun. We could do whatever you want, okay? We could also bring Bumblebee," He wiggled his ears mimicking Bumblebee. You nodded with a forced smile as you tried to look happy. He could tell you didn't want him to feel bad, but he did.

Charging took a full two hours which killed the bear. He was shaking in the charging station, waiting for the door to open and let him go to see you. Once the doors huffed open, he ran to his security door and began to run towards the Atrium.

OH, almost forgot Bumblebee.

Turning around and making his way to your room, he opened the door. "Bumblebee," he called. The little yellow wet floor sign buzzed awake from his small charging area and rushed to Freddy. "You wanna come and help me make (Y/N) happy?" Freddy bent down waiting for Bumblebee's answer. With a wiggle of his ears and a happy beep Bumblebee was in and ready to make you happy.

When reaching the Atrium Freddy only just realized that he never specified a spot for you three to meet at. "Any idea where she could be?" Freddy aimed the question to Bumblebee who spun in a mini circle. "Yeah, me either." Walking into the open, it was only seconds before he was swarmed by children. They were asking for autographs and photos. Freddy smiled and tried to appease the kids, but he wasn't really wanting to hang out with the kids, he wanted to find you.

Weaselling his way from the children, he managed to make it to Roxy Raceway with Bumblebee following close behind. Bumblebee whizzed, imitating a sigh of relief. Freddy laughed, "me and you both pal. I love those kids but sometimes their just a little much." Bumblebee wiggled his small round yellow ears. "Lets try to find (Y/N), shall we?" With another wiggle of his ears, the two stumbled their way towards the Roxy Raceway track.

Bumblebee stuck right next to Freddy as they wandered through the raceway. "Is there actually no way out of here besides the front entrance?" Freddy grumbled beginning to get agitated. All he wanted to do was spend some time with his girl and try to make her happy. Bumblebee bumped into Freddy's leg and spun around trying to get his attention. It took a moment before Freddy actually paid attention to the yellow bot, "Yes Bumblebee?" Facing towards a watch tower, Bumblebee buzzed and beeped. Looking towards the watch tower, Freddy saw you sitting at the top. Your tail was hanging over the edge while you hugged your legs close to yourself.

Freddy made his way to the tower and climbed up the twirling staircase. Skipping a stair with every step, he made it up with no time. Bumblebee being another story. Since he didn't have legs, climbing up would be impossible without flopping about like a fish out of water. And because of that Bumblebee waited down the steps of the watchtower. Freddy carefully walked up behind you. "(Y/N)?" Your ears twitched as your head spun around to face Freddy. He sat down next to you, facing you with his kind eyes. "Why so sad?" You sniffled, looking away.

"I- I don't know. I guess I'm just feeling guilty." "About what?" You gulped, taking in a shaking breath as you faced the bear. "The fact that I still get the chance to laugh and have fun, while those kids never will be able to. They'll never smile, laugh, make memories. All that they will ever experience is injections, beeping of machines and death." You curled your tail around yourself as you let a tear fall. Freddy felt his heart crack. "Oh (Y/N)." He hugged you, letting you cry. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be bothering you about this," you sobbed in his chest. "Hey, what did I say? I will always be here for you."

An all to familiar screen flashed in front of his eyes, informing him that he needed to charge again. Ignoring it, he continued to hold you close and comfort you. "Y/N, listen. You don't need to feel guilty for having a good time. You deserve it. You gave those kids hope and joy in desperate moments, without you they would have never found fun. And I understand, how hard it must be to never see those kids again, but in a way, you'll always see them. You'll remember them, and you'll remember them in their happiest moments. If that is not a gift, I don't know what is," he gently spoke. His deep voice soothing you. You pulled away from the hug and wiped away your tears, "Yeah... yeah you're right." Freddy stood up and helped you to stand. "Come on, lets get you back to your room, you need your rest."

Bypassing all the kids was tricky but doable, especially when Freddy begged for Monty, Roxy and Chica to distract the kids. Freddy stopped at your security door and assisted you into your room. You sat on you sofa as Bumblebee went over to his resting station. Freddy was about to leave but stopped when you spoke, "Thank you Freddy... It means a lot." He nodded, smiling happily as you met his gaze. "How about a game of Fazer Blast with the others after today?" Freddy's smile grew bigger as he nodded, "Your on!"
