It's been almost 3 months since the accident happened.You finally had your cast removed from your arm just mere days prior .Vincent had finished working on the old animatronics by himself,Scott almost moved in to the pizzeria making it hard to catch some slack,Chris changed his shifts so now you were only able to talk during the day shift,Fritz also decided that the day shift is more suitable for him as there were no deathly animatronics roaming around during the daytime.Jeremy moved back to his father's house,unwittingly,of course.Mike,to your surprise,wasn't really paying that much attention to you.It seemed almost as if "THE stalker" was the breaking point in everyone's relationship with you.You only texted the guys when concerned about something or if you needed a day off. Much to your dismay,the pizzeria was opening up again.The idea of the building being the hell hole full of screaming children under 9 years old wasn't exactly bright and fun.A few new workers came around shortly after the announcement of the long awaited opening:Carol Earl,Karen-Diane Chirch and Daisy Brown.The girls were roughly around 17 or 18 which honestly was surprise considering the age restrictions for the night guards.But,oh well.Nothing you could do about it.Jack( your Boss) was very VERY excited for the opening up.He missed the arcade machines being ruined every time any of those little brats were around,the smell of cardboard pizza grease and the stains on the floors.Hell,he even missed the screeching sounds those monsters made.Maybe he just wanted to have the same income from the place as he used to,maybe he was genuinely loving the place being filled with naughty bastards trying to rip the place to shreds.The preparations began almost immediately :the purchasing of the decorations,birthday hats,deep cleaning,the repair of the animatronics.There was also an addition to "the family" as Vincent's blueprints got approved and made its way into reality.The new animatronics were the "toy" versions of the original gang.Mangle or "Toy Foxy" was a put back together animatronic without any wiring inside.Basically it was an inactive endo with only the face plates attached.Another newer addition was Balloon boy or "DoubleB" as you and the guys called him.The creepy looking childlike creature not intended to be moved around.You really hated that particular design choice.It seemed like it was watching your every step wherever you were in the pizzeria.The Toy versions of the Bonnie,Freddie and Chica seemed to be more or less cute:the vibrant colors and plasticy-vinyl suits were looking as friendly as ever.But,the one odd detail always seemed to catch your eye:Chica's design.The curvy yellow chick with a what seemed to be pink shorts or more like panties and a more improved muffin on the plate.Why would anybody make the muffin with eyes?!Never mind.The chicken seemed less childfriendly in terms of how her body was designed.Maybe it was more to entertain the parents?The old spring lock suits were also repaired and were being planned to be put to use to entertain the smaller kids.Which,in all honesty,was weird on its own.You very still terrified of the suits because of the body you've found inside of it on accident.
The first birthday was coming up.The first for the pizzeria in years.You were roaming the halls as you would usually do during the boring day shift.But ,luckily,today you had a few objectives on hand:change the lights in the bathrooms on the second floor and,for some odd reason, to clean up the tables on the first floor in the "Party Hall".You checked the first restroom that was in your sight and walked in without any hesitation.Taking the ladder from the small stall that was used for only janitorial purposes you placed it underneath one of the lights that were hanging from the ceiling.Climbing up the shaky ladder you put the new lamp in your mouth and once on top you reached a hand to the one that needed to be changed.The lights went out in the blink of an eye making you stumble back and almost fall but you steadied yourself together with the ladder.The loud ringing in your ears intensified and muffled every other sound.Your breath hitched in your throat as you felt someone's hands firmly gripping your waist.Your eyes barely adjusted to the darkness of the room as you turned around to be met with a familiar smirk.You took out the light bulb out of your mouth and were about to say "VINCENT WHAT THE FREAKING FUCK ARE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING YOU PURPLE SHIT!" But words resisted leaving your mouth.The guttural chuckle escaped Vincent's lips as he placed a quick peck on the crook of your neck.
-Don't worry,love,I'm here to help~-His voice sounded deeper than usual sending shivers down your spine.
-T-The hell a-are you doing?-You said shakily as you tried to shake his hands off of your waist.For once you were thankful that the lights were off.
-Don't worry,darling.As I said already,I'm here to help you~-His grip tightened on your waist as you felt him pulling you down from the ladder.For once you obliged to his little action and touched the ground with your feet.Vincent spun you around to face him and placed a flashlight in your palm.-Never change the light bulbs with the light on,it's dangerous,dear~-Every emphasis he put on a nickname made you almost melt into a blushing puddle.You nervously shook the flashlight as it was not really turning on.Once the light source stabilized itself you watched Vinny climb up the ladder and follow the same routine as you.You didn't utter a word until he returned to the ground and faced you with a usual mischievous grin plastered on his face.You gulped looking away from the man's gaze:
-Thank you but I can really do it myself...
-I didn't say you couldn't,Love~-His hand rose to your face as his index finger lifted your chin up a bit and forced you to look at him,his thumb carefully brushing over your lips.-I just wanted to help ~
Another wave of shivers ran through your body as your eyes met his white voids.The faint light from the flashlight bounced off of your red face as you desperately tried to avoid eye contact.Vincent chucked once again before taking his hand away and walking to the light switch.You buried your face in the palms of yours and let out a little grumble,almost inaudible one.
-What is it,love?~-Asked Vincent purringly.
-Nothing...-You grumbled once more leaving the room with Vinny following short behind.You felt his eyes burying in your back as you slowly approached the next room needed.-I guess you can finish here by yourself,right?-You laughed awkwardly taking a few steps away.Vincent smirked in your direction closing the distance between you two.In a blink you were pressed with your back to the wall as Vincent was now looming over you,cutting any way for you to run away.Your face lit up crimson eyes darting from one corner of the hall to the other.Why now?It's been almost two months of him ignoring me and not paying any attention to my existence,why now?You gulped loudly as your thoughts were racing,your face showing nothing but embarrassment and fear of sorts.-V-VVincent?
The purple guy's fingertips caressed the skin on your cheek slowly moving down to the lips of yours.Your mouth gaped unwillingly under his touch as Vincent's thumb ran down your lower lip.Your eyes met his for what seems like millionth time.
-Love,you know,if I do something for you you'll have to pay back sometime~-Vincent almost whispered.-But consider this your lucky day,Love~I'm in a good mood~-Vincent leaned closer to your ear,his hot breath landing on the sensitive spot near the earlobe .You almost whimpered as the man spoke again in a low tone.-But next time...I won't let you go that easily,Love~-Your eyes widened at his words Leaving you flustered mess.You turned your head away to which Vincent took the opportunity and placed another kiss on your jaw.Your body tensed up as you squeezed your eyes shut. You put your hands on the man's chest, trying to push him away for at least a second to take the risk of running off.Vincent laughed at your pitiful attempt to free yourself from his little trap but soon enough let you go.With his usual mischievous grin spread on his face he watched you storm off to the "Party Hall".
Stopping at one of the offices you leaned against the wall catching your breath.Your face was burning hot and bright red when you took out your phone to check the time.The message from the Mr.Boseman himself:
"Hey!Y/N,Dear, I need you to come up to my office in 15 minutes!".You let out a relieved sigh and fixed your posture.
Once you got to the boss's office you started getting that funny feeling.Like something was about to happen.You we're about to knock on the door as it swung open and the familiar red rotary phone head showed itself from the doorframe.You jumped back in surprise but composed yourself almost immediately.
-Oh,God,you scared me!-You huffed dramatically placing a hand on your chest.
-Hello to you too,Y/N!-Scott laughed a bit before exiting boss's office.-What brings you here?
-Boss told me to get here,probably something urgent...Or maybe not.Speaking of which I probably gotta go.-You smiled at the phone man before entering the office yourself.-Catch you later!
-See ya,young lady!-Scott waved you off as you slowly closed the door behind your back.
-Hello,uhm,you wanted to see me?-You asked turning towards the old wooden desk.The man stood up and approached you with a warm smile spread across his lips.The usual smell of cigars was in the air as you noted a freshly finished one in ashtray with the smoke still coming from the little nub.The antique record player spun with one of the vinyls on it oozing some sweet melodies from presumably 50 or 60.You awkwardly returned the smile as the man stood in front of you gesturing to take a sit in one of the leather chairs.You obeyed still not really catching the mood in the room.And so,Jack spoke:
-Oh,Y/N,Dear!I'm glad you came!So...-The man started his long speech with a self-satisfied grin.-...You know that the Freddy FazBears Pizza is opening up again for the costumer's delight!Well,I thought it would only be natural to make some changes inside the collective as well!So,firstly,you will have to change your uniform during the day!I know it is quite sudden but I have something that is more appropriate for the customer service!-Boseman handed you a newly ironed set of clothes with the tags still attached.You nodded taking it and putting it under your arm.-Also,you will have to take the role of the waitress during the day!We still are running kind of short on personnel so...But hey,I am adding this to your check,aye?That way you'll be payed as a full timer!-Your eyes lit up at the mention of the increased payment and boss probably noticed it,chuckling under his breath.-Also,I almost forgot to mention,that the birthday that is coming up is got to be very VERY well organised!It is a very important investor's son party and I need everything to be ideal for him and his little mates!Got it,sweetheart?-The man shot you a lighthearted smirk crossing his arms.
-Got it Boss!-You put both of your thumbs in Fritz's manner smiling widely.-Everything will be done in the best possible way!
-I knew I can count on you,sweetheart!Now,go on with your day!And do not forget about the party duty!-The man laughed wholeheartedly patting you on the shoulder.You still felt a ted bit uncomfortable around men after what happened but tried to reassure yourself that not everyone is a threat to you.You nodded softly and left the room.You were interested what was with the change of the uniform and so you unfolded the packaged clothing items looking at them intently.Your eyes narrowed down on the light lavender dress shirt and a tight aubergene colored pencil skirt that was a little over the knees.
-Is that some kind of a joke...?-You grumble-muttered to yourself not really appreciating the style choices.You studied the uniform for a few more seconds before folding it back.Your nose scrunched without you even realizing it and now your face showed pure disgust.But,oh well,if it pays the bills why not?You made your way to the locker room to put away the new uniform.You walked in in a seemingly empty room and opened the locker when Mike showed up from the other side of the room shirtless for some reason.You eyed him up and down a couple of times ,observing the wellsculptured body of a guard.You looked away with an expressionless face and put away your belongings.Mike snickered something to himself propping himself right next to you on the lockers:
-G'day,Dollface!Haven't seen you 'round for a while.How you doin'?-He asked flirtatiously a sly grin growing on his face.
-Hello to you too,Michael.I've been busy.I'm alright now,nothing to worry about.-You answered dryly but with an intent to tease the man a bit as you knew he hated being called by his full name.Mike's expression changed in a blink as he pibes you to the lockers.You shot him a satisfied smirk as the man furrowed his eyebrows and looked directly into your eyes.
-Call me that again and...
-And what?You'll kiss me?Assault me?Beat me up?Rape me?C'mon,think about something more original next time~-You stuck out your tongue at him teasing him even more.Mike's body tensed up as his lower eyelid on the right side of his face started twitching.-By the way,why are you not wearing anything but your pants?How was that song going...? "You can leave your hat on"~-You teased singingly,tracing a finger down from his chest almost to the edge of the belt.Mike's face lit up red as he watched you in a slight panic.You couldn't hold your laughter in for any longer and finally bursted out leaving Mike speechless.Using his state of confusion you slithered under one of his arms and left the locker room still chuckling.-See you later,stripper boy!
-Bitch!
-Yeah,I know!Thank you for noticing!-You waved to him not turning around.Mike huffed under his breath and put on the rest of his uniform.Though,he smiled to himself,still feeling your touch on his skin.
You got down to the first floor and were met with the ever hyper Chris himself.He scooped you up in his arms.
-Hey there Chrisus!-You said jokingly drowning in man's hugs.Chris smiled widely squishing you tighter.
-Y/N!My Honeypie!-He sung twirling with you in his arms.-I missed you!Sosososomuch!-Chris was great at making cute voices and expressions,you had to admit.You both laughed and twirled around for a few minutes before Chris had finally let go of you to breath in some pizza-scented oxygen.You sat down at one of the tables without suspecting a thing.You listened to Chris blabber about something ridiculous but your mind was somewhere else.Chris didn't notice that though.He talked about his little life updates,about how hard the shifts were without you around and so much more.Once you shifted your attention back to reality you finally started listening to Chris's rant about him needing a roommate.Your eyes lit up as you heard "we'll be splitting the payment for the apartment and like it won't be so lonely anymore!".You grabbed Chris's hands in yours,stars almost shining in your eyes:
-CAN I BE YOUR ROOMMATE?!-You almost shouted out of excitement giving his palms a gentle squeeze.Chris smiled at you wholeheartedly and said chuckling a bit.
-Of course you can!I was just about to offer you that!-His face gained a bit of a pink hue as he intertwined his fingers with yours.You blushed ever so slightly at the gesture but didn't think much of it.
-I guess idiots think the same~-You laughed as you looked at his happy face.Chris looked so brightened up and almost beaming with his golden retriever aura.
-Sooo...When you movin' in ,wienerdog?-Chris tilted his head to the side,seemingly trying to get teasy.
-I don't know...I don't have an enormous amount of personal stuff...But ,hey,don't call me that!-You said laughing at the new nickname.-Anyway,probably after the "party"...Right now I just am dreaming about getting a check on hands!I actually was planning to get an apartment myself but...I am not sure if am ready to live completely alone.So,any rules in your place?Like,no pets ,no parties,no boys or girls?-You smirked playing with your eyebrows a bit.
-I'll help you move in when you're ready,wienerdog!-Chris smiled wider.-No,no rules in my place!Just call me if you're having someone over so I don't walk in on you doing "stuff.-He laughed using air quotes at the end of the sentence.
-I thought I could trust you with preparation,Ms.Y/N.-The familiar voice rang right behind your ear.You jumped in your seat almost falling with a little squeak.Chris looked petrified slowly escaping his spot.Jack stood behind you,placing both of his heavy hands firmly on your shoulders.Your body started shaking uncontrollably as you slowly turned your head in his direction.
-B-Boss,it's not what you think,really!I was just getting a breather!-You smiled a little wobbly trying to make up a more realistic lie.
-Well,then I hope you'll be getting back to work right about now.-The man spoke calmly and clearly,giving your shoulders a bit of a squeeze. You swallowed hard and managed to put on a smile getting up from your spot.
-Welp,gotta get back to work,haha...-You awkwardly laughed as you freed yourself from boss's hands and darted off in the direction of the kitchen.As you made sure Jack was nowhere in sight you had finally let out a sigh of relief.Damn,that man is sneaky.You grabbed one of the mops and went back to the "Party Hall".The tables already were squeaky clean,you really had no idea why you had to clean them up again.But still you scrubbed the already clean surfaces until they were gleaming in the dim lighting of the pizzeria.A few drops of sweat were running down the side of your face while you were getting done with the last table at the most far away booth in the corner.A pair of strong familiar hands found itself on your waist.You squeaked out of surprise yanking yourself to the the side,meeting with a familiar freckled face.
-Darn it,Fritz.Can you guys just STOP sneaking up behind all the time?-You huffed,crossing your arms and blowing a stray strand of hair that had fallen on your forehead off.Fritz chuckled fixing his thick glasses.-What's so funny,Mirida?
-Nothing,I uh just...I've been standing here for at least 5 minutes now.-He uttered struggling to contain his laughter.-DON'T call me a DISNEY PRINCESS!
You bit your lip snickering.Fritz's face started slowly turning red as his hands balled into fists.You nudged him a little seemingly making him take a joke more lightheartedly.You both laughed it off while you got to kitchen to wash the cloth.
-So,Y/N,how have you been doing?I mean...A lot happened in the past few months...-Fritz's smile made you feel a bit more comfortable talking about everything.He was just so calming,his presence making you feel at home of sort.You shrugged,looking at how the water was washing away all the minimal amount of the dust from the mop.
-I don't know.It already happened so I kind of don't feel regret for anything.If anything,it made me realize how I want to stay alive for as long as possible.-At this point you were just staring blankly at some dot in the sink,water sounds filling the pauses in between your phrases.-Partially,it's because of you guys...You kind of changed my life in a way...I know,I know,it's cheesy and stuff but it's truth...I can't imagine what would happen if you weren't around!
The red head's face gains a slight hue of red as he awkwardly looked away and started chewing on his fingernails.You noted that this habit of his only made itself apparent to if he was nervous.You composed yourself smiling warmly and pushing away the annoying piece of hair in your eyes.Fritz might have noticed it as he pushed it behind your ear.Your eyes widened,the smallest gesture seemed like it happened in slow motion as the two of you looked each other in the eyes silently.You felt your face heating up as Fritz's hand finally moved away.You looked away,frantically turning off the sink and shaking your hands in attempts to dry them.Fritz awkwardly scratched the back of his head smiling to himself.
-So uh I guess we should be heading to the office then!-You said somewhat cheeringly in an attempt to make everything less awkward.-C'mon,we still have like fifteen or something minutes.
The two of you walked to the office in a comforting silence.The air in the building seemed to be stuffy as the weather outside was getting warmer by the day.You tugged on the collar of your already loose working shirt in an attempt to make some air flow through but to no avail.As you were getting closer you heard some sort of bickering happening inside:the familiar male voice-Scott- and a female,loud and bright voice.
-Barbara,you don't understand what the hell you are getting yourself into!
-I'm not sixteen,Da-...Scott!I can handle myself!I have the right to be here,it was his creation and I want to know so many people are getting basically ripped to freaking shreds!
-Barbara,one more time,I can't let you stay here!Not after what happened to Viktor!
Viktor.The name immediately rang one of the bells as you recalled seeing it on the old files.Was this his daughter?The infamous "Barbie"?You stopped for a second before entering the office eavesdropping like a child.
-Please,Scott,I have to know!I must find out!I can't let more people die!
-I-I'm sorry Barbie,no.I won't cave this time.You are to dear to my heart to endanger you like that...Go home,your mother is probably worried.
-Scott,please...
-I'm sorry dear,no.That's it.Go home.I promise to visit you two soon.
-Don't bother...You haven't done that in three years I sure am can wait another three!
The woman bursted out of the office with her hands covering her face.By the tone of the conversation you were sure the two had an intense fight.You shook yourself to gain the composure back.It was uncomfortable to walk in o Scott being in such distress because with his temper it was very unpredictable as to what he was about to do next.You stopped Fritz tugging on his sleeve as the man was about to enter the office.You mouthed "not now" and the freckled one nodded,leaning against the wall.You silently sighed out,closing your eyes for a second.The day seemed to never end in this place and technically it was only the beginning of the nightmare.You pulled out your phone,as it was desperately trying to gain your attention by buzzing for the last few minutes.You scrolled through some of the notifications noticing a message from Chris.
