{HIATUS} Hardly Robotic [Glamrock Freddy x Reader]

Dammit Anxiety

Reader's POV
×~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~×

I walked out the elevator doors and immediately looked over to DJ Music Man, who was currently napping at his turntables. Scott had him all cleaned up for today's celebrations instead of getting him new accessories, that makes sense considering he's the largest animatronic ever made. Now he looks as clean as the day they brought him here! "Good morning, Music Man," I chimed as I passed him on the way to Pirate's Cove. I wasn't really trying to wake him up, but was just saying so to be polite.

Once I was inside of the restaurant, I called out, "Oh captaaaiin, I got your clothes for you here!" Instead of a reply, a hook popped out from behind the curtains of the small stage and moved in a 'come here' motion. I rolled my eyes and handed him the clothes bag, "Please tell me you didn't stay in there all night and you actually recharged." There was the sound of a stool scraping against the wood floors of the stage and then the sound of rustling clothes. "Relax! I still have some time," Foxy said dismissively. I stomped my foot and scolded him, he simply chuckled at my frustration, "Someone needs ta calm down before they pop a vein."

I opened my mouth to say something in response, when the curtains to the little stage flew open to reveal Foxy in an outfit just like the one shown in those cartoon posters and cutouts of him all around the Pizzaplex. "I was just messin' wit ya," he said while ruffling up my hair. With a groan, I pushed his hand away and tried to fix my hair. "I'm in charge of you guys remember? If anything happens, I'll get blamed for it."

"Ah, please! As if they'd ever fire you," he scoffed. "Yer literally the best employee in this place!" I couldn't help but smile at his words, though he is completely biased, it still feels nice being praised for my hard work. "Even if that was true, which it isn't-" Foxy rolled his eyes at that "I can't just suddenly stop putting effort into making sure things go well. That's how people get fired," I said before booping his nose. "Would ya stop with the boops," he exclaimed while swatting my hand away. I chuckled as he covered his snout protectively. "Alright captain, see ya later."

"Aw, whaaat? Not gonna spend some quality time with yer best friend before the place opens?" He called out to me as I made my way out. I looked back with a shrug, still walking towards the exit, "Sorry, I already told Freddy that I'd come back to his green room." Foxy then crossed his arms and with and with a look of realization said,"Ooohh~ I see, choosin' ta spend some time with yer boyfriend before the Pizzaplex opens instead a' me?" I rolled my eyes at the pirate and in a cheerful voice replied with, "As a matter of fact, I am!"

I hummed along to the theme song that played throughout the unopened Mega Pizzaplex as I made my way back to Freddy's room. But during my walk, I started feeling a little nervous about today. With nothing to distract me now, thoughts about what could go wrong on the one morning that I didn't run the usual diagnostics on the animatronics plagued my mind. So, to ease my anxiety, I took a quick detour down to Parts and Services. Just to have a quick overview on them using the computer down there, it wouldn't be as thorough as actually checking them myself but, at least I'd be aware if there were any detectable problems.

Come on now, Y/N. In all the time you've worked with them, the animatronics never once malfunctioned without reason. Still, it can't hurt to check, better safe than sorry! Although... is it really safe to trust Fazbear's technology when it comes to animatronic functionality? Oof... Better not go down that rabbit hole if I want to ease my anxiety...

My racing mind calmed down a little once I saw the state of the animatronics displayed on the screen, everything seemed to be okay, as far as Parts and Services can tell at least. "See? It's totally fine, dumb anxiety was making me worried about nothing!" I exclaimed confidently to reassure myself. "No reason at all to be worried..."

"Y/N?" My eyes snapped from the console screen to the doors leading to the green rooms, there stood Freddy. I let out an embarrassed laugh, "Am I that predictable?"

He shrugged, "I have a knack for knowing when and where the people I love need me." I felt myself smile at the way he casually said that. "Must be Fazbear's intuition, or something like that," Freddy chuckled.

It's pretty amazing how he can make my heart flutter over the smallest things, the wonders of technology I guess. With a comforting smile, he held out his paw for me to take. "Now then, shall we head up?" No... This isn't just some line of code built into him, it's something more. I gladly took his hand and walked alongside him. "Worried that I won't have enough alone time with you before the Pizzaplex opens?" I held back my giggles as I watched Freddy's tell-tale signs of embarrassment; his ears twitched before going down on his head like a sad puppy, and his tail was wagging nervously. "You say that as if I had something nefarious in mind," Freddy grumbled. It was still so easy to tease him, or maybe that just applies to me. I chuckled, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Just promise to wake me up if I start to fall asleep, okay? Unlike you guys, I don't have an excuse if my clothes get all wrinkled."

Freddy pretended to be in thought, until the elevator doors opened and he scooped me up into his arms. "Maybe you should have thought of that before sleeping so late," he laughed. "Freddy I'm serious," I whined as he carried me into his room.

A/N: Hi! Yes! It's been way too long, so long that an update on the FNAF movie happened while this book still only has one chapter! And for that, I apologize profusely 😔
