Talking in your Sleep [S&D]

✩｡°uh-oh°｡✩

It was 9 PM, You and Deliah had left at 12.

That was so unfair.. Why would You and Deliah just leave him like that? All alone with no one to talk to.. No one to distract him from them.

He was having another episode again, the stench of rot and mold and the sticky smear of crimson that stained his hands and fur felt too real this time.

He actually thought that he had done it this time.

He was so lost in this delusion that he didn't hear the door open and the shuffle of feet on the carpet, and You and Deliah didn't notice him either.

" Go clean up, Dad said he'd be home soon with dinner." You tell Deliah, placing a hand on her back and gently pushing her off into the direction of her room, watching her hurry off to her room.

You set the baby carrier on top of the couch, your baby having fallen asleep on the way home, and turned to go grab something to drink; and that was when you spotted him.

No wonder You or Deliah hadn't notice him at first, he was curled up on his side on the other side of the TV, half of his body covered by the Curtain, like he had fallen asleep while looking out the window.

No, he wasn't asleep.. you could see him shuttering and heard him muttering something under his breath.

Though, if he were awake, He would have definitely gotten up when you and Deliah came inside.

You didn't want to get close to him, but your concern for him outweighed the rational part of your brain that was telling you that getting close was a bad idea.

You moved the Curtain away, uncovering him, before you crouched down. He was facing the wall, but you could definitely see that he wasn't asleep because his eyes were closed; When you came into the living room this morning his eyes were wide open and glowing white when he was asleep.

" Hey," You put a hand on his shoulder and gave him a shake, watching his fingers twitch.

" Springtrap," Another shake, this time a bit rougher, but he still didn't budge. You did hear a groan of annoyance and you saw his fingers ball up into a fist as he curled up a bit more.

" springtrap..."

" shut up." He growled under his breath. " shut up, shut up, why can't you just leave me alone??"

You heard him muttering something as his hand balled up, and you were starting to feel uneasy.

In His mind he was back at that damned place, kneeling on the floor, grasping onto his ears, smearing blood around as the ghost children tormented him, calling his name from all angles of the room as his mind spun.

" Springtra—!"

You were cut off when Springtrap suddenly turned around, his hand shooting out and his fingers wrapping around your throat in an iron grip, a scowl on his face as his eyes were grey with the white circle pupils again.

" I said," He growled, sitting up as his grasp on your throat got tighter. " Leave me alone."

You whimper and tried to dig your fingers underneath his own, but that only made him dig his digits deeper into your flesh.

In a flash of panic, you balled up your fist and swung, landing a hit on his nose, which made a cartoony squeak.

You would have laughed at the noise if you hadn't been scared shitless, the punch jolting him out of his state of psychosis and allowing you to get up and stumble away from him, your own hand on your neck as you catch your breath, the back of your knees bumping into the table beside the couch.

Your breathing was labored as you swallowed hard, watching Springtrap come to; Rubbing his nose as his eyes returned to the normal white with pink irises. He looked around, seeming confused and relieved, and then looked down at his hands before standing up.

And then he looked at you, and he got a panicked look on his face (well, about as panicked as it could look from his permanently grinning face).

"... What did I do?" He asks, noticing your hand in your neck and the red marks he had left. You didn't respond, you just stared at him with a look of fright as you took deep breaths.

Springtrap brings his hand up to his own neck, copying you. " I-I didn't do that, did I..?" He asks again, only to be met with Silence once more.

He was about to say something else, possibly your name, but the words died in his throat when Deliah came back in.

" Springy!" She exclaims, running up to him and hugging him tightly, but Springtraps gaze never left You.

You wanted to rip Deliah away from him, Yell at her to stay away from him, scream at him to get out before he hurt her next.

But you didn't.

You almost felt sick when you saw Springtrap advert his gaze down to the girl and wrap an arm around her back.

" I'm sorry we took so long to get back, We can watch a Movie to make up for it!" Deliah pulled away from the hug to look up at him before she turned to you.

" Can we watch All Dogs go to Heaven again? I think You'd like it!" She turned back to Springtrap as she says that last part, but her smile falls flat as he sees him staring at You again.

" What's wrong?" Deliah turned to look at you.

You cleared your throat, moving away from the spot you had been standing at, still rubbing your neck.

" Nothing, Nothing.." You lie, grabbing the handle of the baby carrier and moving it off the couch to be down beside it.

" I'll, uh.. I'll put the movie in."

You kept eye contact with Springtrap as you circled over to the TV while Deliah dragged him over to the couch so they could sit down.

You only looked away once you knelt down in front of the tv to put the movie in, having to rewind the tape a little bit before you finally put it in and got it started.

You got off the floor and rubbed your throat again before looking over at Deliah.

" I'm gonna go smoke, watch the baby for me." You tell her, watching her nod before you walk out of the living room.

You grabbed your stash from out of your room before you go back to the kitchen; Grabbing a soda from the fridge, opening the window beside the table a little bit, and finally sitting down to roll up.

You listened to the movie from the living room as you rolled your blunt and licked the parchment to seal it, lighting it up and taking a drag.

You coughed a little bit before resting your forehead in the palm of your free hand, just thinking.

Springtrap did seem really upset and remorseful when he realized what he had done, but why did he lash out like that in the first place? And how did he not notice what happened until you had hit him in the nose?

You chewed on your lip as your leg started to bounce underneath the table, eyes shut as the smell of Marijuana clouded over you.

Yes, You may have startled him, maybe even agitated him, but despite him scaring you a few times on purpose, he didn't really seem like the type to hurt someone intentionally.

Your train of thought gets cut short when you heard the front door open and saw Nick come in with armfuls of Grocery bags. You moved to stand up, setting the lit blunt down in the ashtray on the table, and you watched as Nick set down the bags by the counter near the fridge.

" It smells like Weed in here." He states once the bags were down, turning to look at you. You picked up the blunt from the ashtray and held it out, watching Nick step a bit closer and taking it from you, taking a drag before handing it back to you.

" Put the Groceries away for me while I go back out and get the food." " Aight."
