" You left me for dead " ( Evan x Gregory )

Chapter 26: Overworked ( Part 2 )

Gregory's POV:

I went downstairs to the basement and the other were doing their thing. Evan was cooking, because he wanted to. I went to the basement and I I sat down on the chair I used to sit on when I am working on the animatronics. I started to worked on the animatronic, Foxy. I remember what my dad told me about Foxy. He used to love Foxy as kid and teenager. But he change his mind about the animatronics after the bite of '83. I sighed about that thought.

I continued working on the animatronic and I want to get this done for the plex. They are counting on me and I know I will work on him for few more days. I don't want to be like my dad who was workaholic because of work and all those mistakes he need to fix. I took an deep breath and I continued working o it.

Evan's POV:

Okay, the lunch is ready and I hope this is good. I was told that I need to make three plates of food to Susie, Sarah and Gia, himself. The others' food I set on the dining table and I called for them. Then I saw Susie, she look like teenager now, " Here is your and Sarah's food, " I handed the food to her and she nodded. I took Gregory's plate of food to the basement and I saw he was working the animatronic and I set the plate right next to him.

" Hey love, I got you some food, " I told to him and he looed at me. Then he looked at the plate of food on the table. " Thanks, Evan, " Gia thanked me and I smiled at him. He did looked really busy with the animatronic. He set down the tools he was using to fix the animatronic. Then he started to eat and I looked at the animatronic he was working with. It was Glamrock Foxy, and I remember Michael used to love the OG Foxy. I mean before all the shit happened.

I am honest here. " This is good, I guess you use the cookbook, " Gia looked at me. " Nope, you know I am half-robot. I used videos in my head, you know that. " He looked at me with weird expression. " You better not overwork yourself, if you do. I will make you take breaks, even if you protest, " I warned Gia and he nodded. Then he was done with his food and I took the plate. " I will get something for you to drink, " I walked up the stairs.

After I brought the cup of water to Gregory, I let him work and I went to explore the house. I remember this place. I looked the picture on the wall, the ones near the stairs. I remember those photos, they were photos of the whole Rose-Afton family. If I remember right, Gia was really close with his older sister and his dad and Fable who was Violet. But Gia and Fable were closer, when the Rose-Aftons family adopted Fable. Gregory knew her already and I knew her as well. We knew she was Violet, but my men killed her. I ordered them to bring both of them alive.

I wondered how much I affected Ivy, all my thoughts. But I can hear everyone's thoughts, but I shield all of them except one. Gregory's. He nevermind it at all. I nevermind it either and I like his thoughts. But sometimes I can heard sad ones from him. 

I walked upstairs and I saw most of the bedrooms were locked except Gregory's and the bathrooms. I knew why they were most of the bedrooms were locked. Gia told me once he locked the doors of his family's rooms because Michael did it. I knew that, Michael locked ours old bedrooms so he will forget easily and move on. But Gia can't move on, I know he is mental ill since he was 11 years old. That night at the plex, only if he knew I was the one who saved him that night. That day at the meadow, 7 years ago. I was the one who saved him from disappearing and I was the one who erased his memories of the meadow.

He was hurting too much and I went through the hall. Then I turned, this hallway leads to the library of the house. I knew all the secrets of the house. But I went to the library because I need to look for something.

Gregory's POV:

I looked at the time and it was almost midnight. Evan will be mad, I put the souls to bed before I came back down here. I have so many thoughts in my head. I need to get this animatronic to be done. Plus I need a bath and I sighed. I had thoughts about work, the disappearance of my family and Fable's death again. Plus the fight with that transphobia person at work. She was shittest person I met, at least Ann was there. 

I was really tired, but my insomnia will not let me sleep. Plus, I don't want nightmares of my memories and visions. " You should get some sleep, " Helpy suggested to me, " I can't, I have to get this finish by 2 days from now. Plus I need a week to finish this, but Alice will be mad at me, Help. I don't know what to do, I don't want to get fire, plus I can't take breaks. "

" You will get sick of this, you are like your dad, but you do this to forget the bad things happened to you. You are depressed, Georgia, " Helpy called me by my deadname. The others called me by my deadname only when I am being stubborn. I am stubborn person because I got that from mom and dad. 

Then I started to fall asleep and I lay my head on the workbench. I had my arm on the workbench beneath my head. I closed my eyes for a bit.

Evan's POV:

Gregory isn't in bed yet, plus it was midnight. Everyone was put asleep and I need to check on Gia. I went to the basement and I saw he fell asleep. I need to wake him up and he was a bit dirty from working on the animatronic. I gently shook his shoulder and his eyes fluttered open. " What time is it? " Gia asked to me. " It's midnight, you need to get up, " I answered. " I need to get you into bed."

But Gia couldn't get up, so I carried him into my arms, bridal style. I brought him upstairs to the bathroom. " Take off your clothes, you are really dirty from working with that animatronic, " I told to him, " I will get you some clean clothes."

After I got the clean clothes, and Gia took off all his clothes but had a towel around him. " Let's get you clean up, " I said.

After I took Gia a bath because he was too tired from overworking himself. I helped him put on new clothes and into bed. I put the blanket over him and I was about to leave. Until, " Stay, " I turned around and Gia looked at me with tired eyes. " You want me to stay? " I asked to him and he nodded tiredly. " I will stay, " I told to him. I took off my jacket and I lay down in bed with him. He snuggled against me, I wrapped one of my wings around him. I started to stroked his hair and he was asleep.

Then I felt something in his hair, and I realized it was wolf ears. I guess he had another secret hidden from me. I confront him about it tomorrow. But for now, he needs to sleep.
