Lethean (William Afton X Reader)

彡[ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 21: ᴀᴡᴀᴋᴇ]彡

🎶I was made for loving you
Even though we may be hopeless hearts just passing through
Every bone screaming, I don't know what we should do
All I know is, darling, I was made for loving you

I slowly regain consciousness to the sound of music coming from outside of the door. It was difficult to move my body and my arms felt stiff. When I tilted my head, the overhead lights were hitting the wooden desk with scattered papers. Along with that, my head feels like it's been bashed with a hammer a thousand times. Am I in William's office? How the hell did I get here?

My eyes shifted to my body and I found myself covered in a purple blanket while lying on a purple pillow. More questions popped up in my weak brain. I attempted to sit up, only to be interrupted by multiple stings around my neck. My hands reached for my neck and it suddenly got difficult to breathe again, making me cough out blood.

"Blood?" I spoke in a raspy voice. I began to take in shallow breaths and felt both of my eyes widen. My hands were clutching tightly onto the purple blanket. I was so suffocating. I tried to move both of my arms so I could sit up. It was even more painful while I was gasping for air.

Calm down... calm down (Y/N)

Soon after mentally calming myself down, I took in deep yet careful breaths and tried to control my breathing successfully. My hands subconsciously reached for my neck and caressed the slight dent on my skin. My memories are a haze but I remember a little girl trying to choke me to death, and there was a boy... who were they?

As I try to remember the name of the boy, I felt a sudden headache and I lightly grip my head in an attempt to stop it. It wasn't an ordinary migraine, it was enough to make me lose my mind. While I was wincing in pain, I heard the office door open. My eyes looked upward and saw William holding a half-full bottle of water.

"Darling! You're awake!" he exclaimed and knelt down on the white carpet. Darling? Now that's a new nickname for me.

"How... long was... I out?" I asked, still with a hoarse voice. Forcing yourself to speak clearly isn't going to help, (Y/N).

"Only a few hours love, don't worry about it"

His right hand reached for my face and rubbed the blood off the ends of my lips, making me twitch in surprise again. My eyes were able to adjust to the brightness and now, William's eyes appeared to be sorrowful. His hair looked messier than earlier as if he had a nervous breakdown then ruffled it again and again. "Drink up, it'll help with your voice" He placed the water bottle in my hands. Before removing the lid, I raised my eyebrow and looked at William.

He tilted his head and said, "Something wrong?"

"This doesn't... have anything.. weird right?"

He blinked several times and started to laugh his heart out. William grabbed the bottle from my hands and took a small sip. "See? Nothing" he shrugged and returned the bottle to my grasp. Seeing that he didn't have any reactions, I drank the water from the bottle and immediately felt my throat clear up.

"You could have told me you wanted a kiss, love" William widely grinned and winked at me. Finally realizing what he meant, I face-palmed myself and tousled my loose hair. Wait, why is it my hair loose? "No, I don't"

I heard William sigh as he sat down beside me. He clutched the end of the purple blanket resting on my lap and slightly pulled it, covering his upper body with it. "While I'm snuggled here, can you tell me what happened earlier? Just whisper if that helps." William leaned his head on the sofa and turned in my direction. He has such pretty eyes, and long eyelashes too. Damn it, I'm jealous and a bit embarrassed because he's so close at the moment.
