A Change of Heart (Monty x Reader)

Chapter 7: Heart-To-Heart

Your POV:

It was your final week of school, and graduation was growing closer and closer by the hour. You worked every day of the week, except for Friday because of your graduation.

It was a Wednesday night, and you made your way into the Pizzaplex much later than usual, though your boss had already said it was okay.

"8pm.." You grumbled to yourself, embarrassed to be late for work.

Monty stood at the top of the escalators in the atrium, staring as you walked in. "Took you long enough short stuff, was afraid you were ditchin' us." He chuckled.

"Nah I'd never, just had to finalize some stuff for my graduation and what not, and I took my last final of high-school!" I yawned and stretched. "Passed with a 92, so I'm pretty happy."

Monty held out his hand for a high-five, "Good job Cher! I'm proud of you. Now, you won't get in trouble for bein' late.. will you?"

You shake your head. "Nah, boss was okay with it. I gotta say, I'm absolutely exhausted. This whole finals and graduating stuff has been killing me." You chuckle lightly.

"I bet. What're you plannin' on doin' after you get out of high-school anyway?" He asked curiously.

You gulped, "Well.. I guess I'll continue to work here and try to rank my way up as we go, and I'll start attending college online. I wanna get my degree for creative writing, I'd love to be an author." You smiled. "I don't have much need for a degree in mechanics or technical stuff since I'm already pretty good with it."

Monty looked interested in the writing part, "Hmm, what kind of stuff do you write?"

"Oh, just stuff like fiction, fantasy, that kind of stuff!" You shrug.

As Monty goes to say something else, you get a visual of the others running towards you pretty quickly. Chica seems giddy as can be, whereas Roxy and Freddy just look like they're about to be out of breath, even though they're robots.

"Y/n, where have you been?!" Chica questions. "We've been worried!"

You chuckle, "Hey, hey! It's okay! I just came into work late, my boss gave me the thumbs up. I've been dealing with graduating and finals and stuff."

"How did you do?" Freddy asked, a hint of curiosity could be seen on his face.

"I passed everything! Mostly A's, but some B's." You shrug, knowing it was the best you could do.

"Honestly, I think I may go take a nap until it's time for your check-ups, I'm absolutely exhausted." You yawn, stretching your arms out slowly.

"My couch is open like usual!" Monty snickered, causing you to roll your eyes.

"I'll be taking that offer up as always." You let out a small snicker, slightly punching him in the shoulder.

"Yeah I can see it too." Freddy said to the others quietly, causing both Monty and you to roll our eyes.

———

You blinked slowly as your alarm went off, letting out a small groan. Monty however, was playing some sort of FPS game, though he wasn't being loud.

He eventually died in the game, "God damn it."

You snickered, watching as he set down his controller.

"Morning sleeping beauty, how nice of you to finally grace me with your presence." He teased.

You chuckled and smiled, "Mhm.. c'mon, we gotta go to Parts and Service."
