Tainted Lies (Gregvan / Gregory X Evan)

"More Information.."(7)

Vanny's POV-

I make my way out of the secret entrance into Afton's office. 

I can't believe this.. We just got blackmailed by a ten year old.

William looks at me with confusion written on his face.

"What are you doing here? Have you completed your mission?" Afton asks me as I close the hidden entrance in the wall. 

"My mission isn't complete... There's been a delay.." 

William sighs, "What now?"

"I was in the Pizza Plex last night when your son, Evan confronted me.." I begin, Afton motions his hands for me to continue talking. "He blackmailed me into staying out of the Pizza Plex until he leaves.."

"Blackmailed you with what? He's usually in his room. I'm surprised he even knows what is going on in the family half the time."

"Turns out, he knows I work for you.. More specifically kill people for you. He had said if I don't follow his conditions that he'll tell Michael." 

William gives me a shocked expression. I had only met Evan once before, and he had been kind of hidden.. And very quiet. He seems like the listening type. I don't understand why William is shocked.

"Damn it, Evan." Afton mumbles, his shock being replaced with anger. "Just stay near-by for now. I'll think of something." 

Afton shoos me away with his hand, dismissing me from the meet-up.

Gregory's POV-

"I think that's everything.." I say, as we round back to the entrance. 

"This place is huge!" Elizabeth says in amazement. I nod, I had gotten used to the size of the place over the last few days. 

Michael walks up to us.

"There you guys are. I was looking around for a couple of minutes." Michael says, patting Evans head and picking up Elizabeth. Elizabeth's eyes lit up.

"Evan grabbed my collar again!" Elizabeth yelled. 

"Seriously?.. Can't you two just get along?" Michael sighed.

"She was being annoying," Evan complained. 

"I was just standing there!" Elizabeth argued back.

"Guys, stop." Michael said, much to my relief. Those two fight, a lot. "I'm going to take Elizabeth out for a bit. I'll be back later CC." 

Michael shifts Elizabeth into one arm and ruffles Evans hair with his free hand. Evan slapped him.

Despite the fact they are constantly fighting, I couldn't help but feel a little jealous.. They're a good family.

"Ow.." Michael mumbled. "I'll be back soon brother,"

Michael leaves with Elizabeth. 

Evan sighs. I notice his bear look away from Evan and at me. 

"Evan," 

"Hmm?" He hums in response. 

"I wanted to ask about your bear.." 

"Goldie?" Evan looks at his bear and it looks back at him, he doesn't react. "He's just a stuffed animal. What exactly is there to ask about?"

"Its eyes keep moving," I point out. Evan and the bear both glance back at me at the same time.

"I'm confused. He's just a stuffed animal, how would his eyes move?" Evan asks. Is he serious? There is no way he didn't see his bears eyes move a second ago.. 

"Nevermind.. Also, what does CC stand for?" 

"Why do you ask?" 

"I'm just curious." 

"I can tell.. CC stands for Crying Child,"

"That's kinda messed up-.. How did you get that nickname?" I ask. Evan shrugs his shoulders. I think I'm really making him uncomfortable now, I should stop asking things. "Sorry,"

"Your fine," Evan replies, "I've been going by that nickname for awhile now."

I'm so confused.. If the nickname hurts him, why does he go by it? I still have so many questions.. At least I learned a few things though.

Evan's POV-

I'm not going to tell him that the Nightmare's gave me that name.

It's still odd to think about the fact I created the Nightmare's and they never knew my name until I met them again. The fact Goldie never told him my name, even though he knew it is also strange. Goldie isn't the brightest though. He already outed himself. I'm starting to think it's not my fault Gregory finds me suspicious, it's probably Goldie's fault. 

I know Gregory still has questions. He seems to always have questions. The nickname doesn't actually affect me, but if I pretend that it does, I'm hoping he won't continue to ask about it. 

"Now that you've had a full tour, what do you think of the Pizza Plex?" Gregory asks, changing the subject. "You didn't give your opinion earlier."

"Oh. It feels a lot bigger in person than it looked on the blue prints." I state, he looked confused for a moment before he probably remembered my brother owns the location. 

"That makes sense." Gregory says, glancing at Goldie.

Gregory's suspicions are Goldie's fault. 

Maybe that's why Goldie keeps saying I need to work on the fact I blame others a lot.. He knew someday something would be his fault, and didn't want to take the blame.

"So your bears name is Goldie?" Gregory asks.

"Hmm?"

"You said his name earlier." 

"Yeah,"

"I don't think I've ever seen that one before." Gregory says. I shouldn't tell him I created him. I should probably go with the original story of how I got the plush in the first place. Goldie and the others would have never come to life if when I was alive I didn't accidently give them some of my remnant. 

"My Dad made him," I reply. I hate that response. I hate calling Afton dad.. I shouldn't call him Afton though. Not in-front of someone whos alive. I could feel Goldie look at me. 

"Nice," Gregory said, more focused on the fact his eyes moved again then my actual answer. 

"You keep looking at him." I state, moving my hands behind my back so Goldie isn't visible. 

"Sorry. I've just never seen one that looked like it." Gregory says. He wasn't bringing up the fact that the eyes moved. That's probably because I just gaslighted him for bringing it up..

Gregory met my eyes.  He had a bandage on his cheek with a scar just barley peeking out of it.  

"Umm.." Gregory muttered, looking for something to say. "Your eyes are pretty," 

I felt my face heat up. 

"T-Thank you.. Yours too." I stuttered out. God, I feel so stupid right now. What's been happening to me recently?..

"Thanks," Gregory said smiling. 

His face was red as well. It's probably just hot in here or something..
