Lethean (William Afton X Reader)

彡[ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 10: ᴄᴏɴᴠᴇʀꜱᴀᴛɪᴏɴꜱ]彡

Once I stepped outside the office, I saw Henry talking to the man from the Employees Room. He had a frustrated expression and Henry looked more stressed than before, and it was just 10:20 in the morning. I tried to hide my presence from the two and headed to the women's bathroom. Thank you, silent feet.

No one's here yet... phew

I went inside the cubicles and removed my red turtleneck top. I took off my old bandages and suddenly, I heard the bathroom door open and overheard a conversation between two women.

The two women were named Amelia and Nina, possibly two mothers since they bragged about how their children excel in academics in school, who's getting the most honors, and all that. Amelia had naughty children while Nina's were somewhat mature. However, both of them immediately brought up their children's fright about going out today because of the recent news.

They said this town was cursed, it always had the stench of death in it and I couldn't agree more. It's odd how people who live here decided to stay, rather than move out for safety. None of them looked poor. In fact, they all look rich as hell. The future version of this city is... well... advanced and I guess high-standard. As someone who resides in it, I can say that it's not that difficult to meet ends because of the multiple job opportunities. Not to brag, but I can basically do anything, and I suppose that was the upside of learning to fend off yourself.

For some goddamn reason, their topic shifted to William, calling him a "hot stud" for a 29-year-old father— Wait, he's 29?! And he has a kid?! Jeez, I thought he was 25 or something. They said his British Accent is enough to make them weak in the knees. My ears are horrified.

But that's not the point, they know he's heavily suspected to be the serial killer of the 5 children, even though he is, they're not worried at all! My goodness, ignorance is bliss for these two.

Eventually, they brought up his son's name; Michael, who was the spitting image of him. Nina mentioned how she was planning to make her daughter his wife in the future so she can get close to William, flirt and shit— Hold on, if this Michael ends up with her daughter, then that makes Nina and William the in-laws. If both adults get married, that makes their children stepsiblings—AH SHADDAP BRAIN, STOP STOP!

After their long gossip, they left the bathroom and I finished wrapping my arm. I wore my red turtleneck back and got out of the cubicle with the feeling of conflict in my head. I went outside the bathroom and my eyes landed on the fresh pepperoni pizza served on the children's tables.

The pizza's making me hungry...

"You haven't eaten yet?"

I flinched when I heard a voice behind me. It was Henry clenching a newspaper and behind him were children running around to play in the mysterious ball pit. "No...." I whispered under my breath and I heard him snicker.

"Since I'm taking a short break, want to eat some pizza?"

I fiddled with my thumbs and muttered, "I want to... but William is expecting me to come back to his office."

"I'll just tell him you were hungry, don't worry" the man patted my head and I smiled in reply, now following him to the employees room. "Wait here, I'll grab some pizza and soda from the kitchen" He closed the door and I sat down on one of the wooden chairs. I went to my locker to check my stuff. Along with the extra clothes, there was a note inside my bag.

"𝚈𝚘𝚞'𝚕𝚕 𝚙𝚊𝚢 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜"

Right... How much?

Let me guess, it's the same guy from earlier?
