              No summary. surprises. but TW// Angst, bite of '83, yelling, cursing, roughhousing, smoking.  (I'm not good with angst)


                Michael Afton was the worst person imaginable. he and his little posse would pick on anyone weaker than them, get into fights with the teachers, and worst of all, they picked on Michael's helpless younger brother. You worked at Fredbears pizzeria and unfortunaely  Michael's father co-owned the establishment, and Michael hung out around there often, messing with kids and you. You resented him, but on the one or two occasions you saw Michael's interactions with his father and siblings, you noticed Mr. Afton favor the younger two. Michael's expression when his father talked to them was timid and drawn away. He would come up to you during your shifts and tease you or make messes after you just cleaned up. You would argue briefly and then walk away. this went on well into the summer break. 

August 7th, 1983


     It was almost the end of Summer break and there was a birthday party today. There was a commotion coming from the animatronics. You rushed over there in time to witness Evan's head get crushed. You stood in shock, dropping the mop you were holding. Tears fell from Michael's face as he took his bloodied mask off. He turned to his "friends" for help but they ran off. He sobbed clutching his brother's mangled head. You noticed Mr. Afton's sinister smirk and it confused you but everything was hard to process. The sirens grew louder and louder but you ran out the back before they came in. Weeks passed and school started. 

      You hardly saw Michael around school and you were let off of your job after the incident. You saw Michael smoking in the school parking lot after you got out of late tutoring. The sight of him looking stone-faced just smoking a cigarette enraged you. You walked up to him fiercely and threw a punch to his face. He looked back at you confused and skittish. "What the fuck was that for!!" he screamed pulling himself together, steadying himself on his feet. Your such a douche you know! You bully people and tormented your brother, now you're surprised something bad happened! And your just smoking a cigarette" you exclaimed hitting his chest with balled-up fists. Tears fell from his dull blue eyes and his voice shook as he screamed back "Fuck off, you don't know anything! You know nothing about my life!". He pushed your arms off and tried to walk away before you yanked his arm back toward you. "Then tell me, Michael, how is your life so horrible you have to torment people?". He paused before explaining his home life. How his mother died in childbirth with his sister but she looked so much like his mother that he couldn't bully her and Evan was always favored by his father. And the "prank was a stupid idea that went too far, and he regretted it severely." You noticed the sincerity in his voice and the way he shook every few seconds showed you that he was hurting. You placed a hand on his shoulder and pulled him into a hug. "I don't forgive you for anything, but I want to be friends," you mumbled just loud enough for him to hear. He responded with his arms wrapping around your waist and silently sobbing into the crook of your neck.

      3 years later~~~(you both are now 18)

You and Micheal have been friends for a while and you loved him, but there was a part inside of you that still hated him for what he did. Prom was only 2 weeks away and you still didn't have a date and you were planning on asking Michael. He has been closed off the last few years but he has been nicer. It's sad it took killing his brother for him to be nice. You walked up to him after school and dragged him behind the school to talk to him. "Hey, Mike.". He looked surprised but still answered, "Hi '____', you need something?". "I want you to go to prom with me," you stated. He stammered before agreeing to go.


~ Prom night ~

      You sat on the stoop in front of your house waiting for Micheal for 10 minutes. He finally pulled up in a beat-up pickup truck. "Hey buddy, hop in!" he shouted from the truck. Your face lit up and you rushed to hop in the truck. He gave you a quick side hug before taking off to the prom venue. Your gaze wondered to Michael, his mullet was combed back nicely, and his eyes looked calm and beautiful. Your face heated up as you turned away to look out the window. He chuckled quietly, maybe he noticed you. You soon arrived at the venue and stepped inside.  the lights were dim and the music was loud.  He pulled you to dance when the slow dances started. His smile was bright and he looked so happy. Tears welled up in your eyes. seeing him look so joyful and beautiful. When the song ended you ran as quietly as you could out of the room. Mike ran after you in concern. He found you in the hall sobbing quietly. "What's wrong '___', did I do something wrong?" Michael asked rubbing your back. Your dress bunched on the floor as you crouched against the wall trying to scoot away from Mike's hand. "Yes!", you wailed. "I love you, I'm in love with you, and I hate you for it," you sobbed. He looked startled and upset," I'm sorry, I love you so much, please don't hate me for that," he pleaded looking like we were gonna sob too. He lifted you to your feet and helped you to the bathroom to clean your face. You giggled at his gentleness. He smiled before giving you a tight hug. You grabbed his face and placed a kiss on his lips. His face lit red and he placed his finger to his lips in shock. "I want to be your girlfriend Michael." you calmly stated, holding his hands in your lap. "Please be my girlfriend," he grinned.
