={WARNING: SLIGHT FLUFF AND CUSSING}=

Molten woke up slowly, and he became more alert when he felt something fluffy against his stomach, he looked down and saw that Brownie had happily curled herself up and was sleeping in between his and Bryan's stomachs. Molten smiled a bit and moved his hand from behind Bryan's head to pet the cat, who started purring at the affection she was given. It took Molten a moment to notice the second cat, a sleek plain black cat that was curled up behind Bryan's legs, also asleep, and Molten recalled Michael mentioning that the black cat was his. "Well, why are you in here lil' fella?" Molten asked with a soft and quiet tone as he moved his hand from Brownie and began petting the black cat, carefully reaching over Bryan's legs, not wanting to wake Bryan. The black cat lifted its head and sniffed Molten's hand for a moment before curling back up, pressing against Bryan's calves. "Hmm?" Molten turned and saw Bryan rubbing his eyes as Brownie was nudging Bryan's hand with her head. "Morning sleeping beauty," Molten greeted warmly as he fully lay back down, placing his hand back onto the back of Bryan's head. "Morning," Bryan mumbled tiredly as he pet Brownie and leaned a bit closer to Molten. "How'd you sleep dear?" Molten asked as he placed a soft peck on Bryan's forehead, and Brownie began purring again. "Like a baby, you?" Bryan replied with a soft smile as he moved himself as close as possible to Molten without disturbing Brownie. "I slept good, I think Brownies brought a friend by the way," Molten replied with a smile, speaking of the black cat right as he saw the cat get up and stretch, before hopping over Bryan and landing next to Brownie, sitting down and beginning to wash himself. "Oh-, who are you?" Bryan asked the cat with a smile as he scratched the cats head, and the cat began purring too. "Wait-, how'd these two get in? Were they in here when we shut the door last night?" Molten asked as he glanced toward the still closed bedroom door. "Oh-, I'm not sure, maybe they were?" Bryan replied with a confused tone, beginning to sit up in the bed. Brownie let out a meow and hopped off the bed, circling in front of the bedroom door. "Ya hungry girl?" Bryan asked as he climbed out of bed, walking over and opening the door for Brownie, who ran out of the room. Molten let out a groan before he climbed out of bed himself, walking over and wrapping his arms around Bryan's waist from behind and he placed a soft kiss on Bryan's neck. "We're not doing some make out," Bryan mumbled with a nervous tone, watching as the black cat jumped off the bed and followed Brownie down the hall. "I know, I'm just touchy, you know that," Molten replied with a chuckle as he placed another kiss on Bryan's cheek before letting go of Bryan. "Come on, let's go find the cat food," Bryan stated before walking out of the room, and Molten let out a huff before following, closing the bedroom door behind him.

+{Nero is pronounced as 'near-oh'}+

"Hey, is it ok if Brownie eats and drinks out of your cat's bowls?" Bryan asked with a curious tone as he poked his head into the living room, where Ennard and Michael were sitting on the couch. "I don't mind, although I'm not sure how Nero will react though," Michael replied with a bored tone as he gave a slight shrug of his shoulders. "Nero is the cat, Michael's black one," Ennard stated with a smile when Bryan looked confused for a moment. "Ok, thanks," Bryan replied with a smile before leaving the living room. When Bryan sat down the cat bowl full of food, and Molten sat down the water bowl, Nero and Brownie ate and drank together without any issues. "Are either of these two fixed?" Molten asked with a curious tone as he and Bryan watched the two cats. "Uh, Brownie's not, I've got no clue for Nero, that's Michael's cat's name," Bryan replied with the same curious tone as the two cats finished eating and moved on to grooming each other. "Well, hopefully they don't have kittens," Molten mumbled in response with a small smile. "But that'd be adorable!" Bryan replied with a now excited tone as he stared down at the cats. "Yea, but it'd also be a big hassle to deal with," Molten replied with an amused tone as he crossed his arms over his chest and tilted his head at Bryan. "I'd have you to help me," Bryan replied with a playful tone as he slightly pushed on Molten's shoulder. "What?" Molten asked in response, now purely confused at Bryan's words. "Well-, I was thinking, if SpringTrap manages to get my kingdom to back down and call a truce, maybe we could move in together somewhere?" Bryan replied with an awkward tone and a nervous smile as he looked away from Molten and rubbed at the back of his neck. "Aww, you don't have to be nervous when saying something like that, I'd love to move in with you sometime," Molten replied with a soft and loving tone as he leaned down a bit and placed a soft peck on Bryan's cheek. "Great! I can't wait until we get our own place together," Bryan replied with an excited tone as he took Molten's hands into his own. "If, if we get a place together, SpringTrap still hasn't sent that letter to the human king," Molten replied with a calm and soft tone as he smiled down at Bryan, and Bryan's smile faltered for a moment, before brightening again. "That's ok, if the truce is turned down, we'll live somewhere out here together, we'll try building another cabin, and out here, we'll have Golden, Michael and Ennard to help us, maybe even SpringTrap," Bryan replied cheerfully, standing on his toes for a short moment to place a peck on Molten's cheek, and Molten let out a loving chuckle.

Brownie ran into the guest bedroom, spun around and let out a hiss toward the open door, which Bryan had left open specifically for Brownie. Molten sat up in the bed with a confused expression, and Bryan looked up from a book he was reading. "What is it girl?" Bryan asked as he closed his book and set it on the bedside table, and right as Bryan finished talking, Brownie let out a deep growl and then let out another loud hiss, her tail sticking straight up in the air and her fur bushing up. "Brownie? What's wrong?" Bryan asked with a worried tone as he quickly climbed out of bed and crouched next to Brownie, who didn't react at all when Bryan tried to calm her down. Molten let out a confused huff as he climbed out of the bed and walked over to Brownie, scratching her ears, but she once again didn't react. Molten stood up straight and was about to walk out to the hall to see what Brownie was scared of or mad at, but a loud screech ring out through the sky before Molten could move. "What the hell is that?" Molten asked with a confused tone before walking over to the window, and spotting a large golden eagle flying around through the treetops. "Shit, it's Nightmare's bird," Molten answered himself as he quickly pulled away from the window and pulled the curtains closed. "How did they find us?!" Bryan replied with a panicked tone as he picked up his cat. "I'm not sure, but we need to let Golden know the situation and hide, we should find Michael and hide him too," Molten replied quickly as he looked around the room for a moment, before quickly remaking the bed and shoving Bryan's book into the bedside tables drawer. "What are you doing?" Bryan asked with a confused tone as Molten rushed around the room, picking things up and putting them away. "Incase they ask to search the house, there can't be any kind of clues hinting towards us being here," Molten replied simply before rushing to Bryan and grabbing once of Bryan's hands, checking the hall before running down the hall and bursting into Michael's room. Michael was laying in bed on his phone while Ennard was dead asleep next to him, and Michael gave the two a confused expression as Molten slammed the door closed behind him. "Listen, there's an animatronic here that's looking for me and Bryan, we need to hide, and you should hide too, he's not a fan of humans," Molten stated quickly as he pushed Bryan toward a walk in closet. "Well shit, I'll run and tell Gold real quick," Michael stated before hopping out of bed and leaving the room carefully. "What if Michael gets seen? And what about Ennard?" Bryan asked with a worried tone as Molten pushed him into the walk in closet. "I'll wake up Ennard, if Michael gets caught, that's on him," Molten replied simply with a rushed tone before turning around and hurrying to the bed to wake up Ennard. Ennard didn't wake up fast enough, so Molten dragged Ennard out of the bed and shoved him into the walk in closet while he was still half asleep. "What's happening?" Ennard asked as he rubbed at his eyes, and slowly sat down on the floor. "Nightmare's damned bird is here," Molten replied with an annoyed tone as he shut the closet door behind him, his words caused Ennard to become fully aware in a heart beat. "What?! How did it find us? Do you think Nightmare's here too? And where's Michael?!" Ennard asked with a panicked tone as he stood up and tried to open the closet door, but Molten shoved him back. "I don't know the answer to any of your questions, Michael said he was going to find Golden. Now keep your voice down," Molten hissed in response with a shushed tone, pushing Ennard and Bryan back from the door. "We should barricade the door with something," Bryan whispered as he looked around the closet. "Not until Michael's in here too!" Ennard stated quickly as he placed a hand on Bryan's shoulder, to keep Bryan from beginning to block the door. "God dammit Ennard, fine, you two stay in here, stay quiet and turn the light off, I'll go find Michael. If I'm not back in ten minutes, than go ahead and barricade the door," Molten stated with an annoyed and quiet tone before walking towards the closet door. "What if you get caught?" Ennard asked worriedly before Molten could open the closet door. "Then-, then I'll miss you two, stay safe," Molten mumbled in response as he put his hand on the door handle and hesitated to open it. "If you get caught, we'll find a way to get you back," Ennard stated as he walked up to Molten and gave Molten a tight hug. "Yea, but please don't get caught," Bryan stated as he walked up to the two brothers and placed a hand on Molten's arm as Ennard pulled away from the hug. "I'll try not to. Ennard, sorry for being all upset about finding Michael, I'd be freaking out too if it was Bryan out there," Molten replied with a faint smile as he made a slight nod towards Bryan. "It's alright," Ennard replied simply with a small smile. "Be careful," Bryan stated as he quickly put down Brownie and hugged Molten, and Molten let out a nervous chuckle. Brownie let out a meow and rubbed up against Molten's leg. "I will, you two stay hidden, no matter what," Molten replied before leaving the closet as Bryan let him go.
