"Thank you so much" I said to the phone. I was talking to Henry who had just hired me as a night guard to the pizzeria so no one breaks in. I needed a distraction from everything and everyone since it was official that I was the only living afton, It didn't take long for news to cover the topic, it wasn't often that the second eldest son of a famous restaurant owner to be the only alive. I needed something else to think about, Noah didn't help much. If I slept to long because I didn't want to deal with more depression, he would force me to get up. If I needed to just vent, he would just change the subject. Honestly, I was starting to question our relationship, mainly his part. I loved him to death but he seemed to have lost interest in me. I tried my best to not think about it, I would always end up cry in the shower, when I was alone, or somewhere away from home. Anyways, my first shift was tomorrow, and I needed to head over to Henry's to pick up my uniform. "I'll be there in 10 minutes" I said. "Ok mike, see you there" he replied. I hung up and smiled, Henry was like my second father, ever since dad was found dead, he had treated me like his son. His son went missing when he was three, and his daughter was killed soon after. I went to our room and got changed. I was thankful that Noah was in the shower so he wouldn't ask where I was going. I grabbed my keys and wallet and went to my car. I got in and drove to Henry's. When I got there I knocked on the door. A few seconds later, he answered the door and smiled "Hey Michael" he pulled me into a hug and lead me to his living room. "Hold on, let me get your uniform" he said and walked down the hall. A minute later, he came back with a stack of clothes of what looked like black jeans or slacks, a dark purple button up, a belt, and a gold badge. He handed them to me. "thank you" I said. "Of course, would you like any tea" he asked. I smiled "yes please" I put the clothes on the couch and followed him to the kitchen. "So, how has Noah and Asher been" my smile fell. "I-I, don't know, he changed when my dad died. He seems more. Distant, I'm worried that things might end soon, I'm worried for Asher, he's barely even eight months and I don't want him to deal with split up parents, or worse, one parent" he looked at me sadly "I'm sorry, I wish I could do something" I gave a sad smile "don't worry, we'll get over it, one way... or another" he handed me a cup of tea "do you want me to explain your job and what to do" he was trying to change the subject, I didn't mind so I nodded. We made our way back to the living room and he went over my job, which was simple, watch the cameras and make sure nobody was trying to get in, or if anyone was in, but he said that the animatronics had a "walk around" mode, which he was still trying to take out, so I had doors "just in case." Luckly, I only needed to work for a business week, because they were going to tear it down soon. an hour and a half, I needed to get going. I wasn't excited, but I needed to go  "well thank you for coming over" I smiled as I grabbed my uniform "of course, feel free to call me whenever you just want to talk" he smiled and lead me to the door and we said our goodbyes before I got in my car. I put the clothes on the passenger seat and started the car. I drove home and grabbed the clothes and went back into the apartment, to say I was unhappy, was an understatement. Noah was standing right at the door, arms crossed and angry. "And where were you" I held back a laugh and closed the door "pft- don't ask like you care" he was shocked by my answer and I took the opportunity to go to our room and put the uniform away. I went to Asher's nursery and locked myself in. I picked up Ash and sat down. "Guess what" I told him an a little bit higher pitch, I knew he couldn't understand me, but I continued. "Mama got a new job, I go to my job at night" I kissed him on the forehead. "Also, I know mama and Dada aren't as close, but if we don't stay together, know that we both love you, even if we don't love each" a few tears came to my eyes and held him to my chest where he promptly fell asleep.

I woke up at 11:00 pm by my alarm. Noah was behind me, back turned to me. He groaned and looked at me as I turned off the alarm "why the fuck is that going off" he snapped "because I got a new job that's a night shift dumbass" I said I took a shower and and got changed onto the uniform for the first time. The pants were slack, tight ones. The defined my legs, hips, and ass nicely. If Noah wasn't so distant, then I'd say he'd like it. The shirt was tight, but not as tight as my pants. I put on the belt and badge and left the bathroom. Noah was still awake, and he looked at me. I went to leave the room when I heard shuffling and my arm was grabbed. Noah held my waist and tried to kiss me. I pushed him away "why can't I kiss you" he said. I frowned "and why should I after you treated me since my dad died" he looked confused. "What do you mean" something in me just snapped. "Don't 'what do you mean' me, ever since it was official that I was the last afton alive, you have done shit to help me, I understand that you have delt with me and every single one of my family's deaths, but my entire family is dead, they can't see my future family like yours can, they can't see our son when he's old enough like yours has. And don't you fucking dare say that it was my fault that my parents never met Ash, they both neglected me and my brother when I was a child, my father was nearly abusive, what makes you think he'll treat Ash. You never had to deal with that, you never had to deal with your entire family dieing, let alone one! I'm sorry to say but you've been a shit boyfriend recently, I wouldn't be surprised of you broke up with me because of my depression, I get it, I can't be happy about everything, for fucks sake, my family is dead!" Tears welded into my eyes. I wiped them away "I won't be back till six, don't expect me to talk to you afterwards, let alone come home for awhile" and with that, I left.

♡Noah's Pov♡ I watched as Mike left our room and heard him leave the house. 'Am I really that bad of a boyfriend' I heard crying from the nursery. I rushed over and picked up Asher. "Shhh~ it's ok, everything's ok" I said. I wasn't only saying that to Asher, I was also telling myself. 'I'm a fucking idiot, I shouldn't have treated like that, hell why did I treat him like that' soon enough, Ash fell asleep. I put him in his crib and went to bed alone for the first time in forever.
