1987

Scott stared at the camera, eyes drooping a bit as he watched it. It was 3am and he had no interest in being here. No interest at all. Especially because every five seconds one of the animatronics jumped out of the dark to try and attack him. He leaned back in the chair, trying to catch his breath after Freddy had appeared out of nowhere and Scott almost forgot to put his mask on. When suddenly the alarm went off. Scott shot up and looked over at the camera for the front door. A blonde man in a blue hoodie and jeans had somehow unlocked the door. He swiped a keycard, turning the alarm off. Scott got out of his chair and flicked on the flashlight to go investigate, taser latched onto his belt.

When he got to the entrance the man was fumbling with the keycard, almost dropping it onto the floor with a small "shoot!" Before standing up and turning. The second Scott and the intruder locked eyes he screamed, jumping back and clutching his chest to catch his breath. Scott just stared at him, face set in a frown.

"Jeez Louise! You scared me!" He chuckled, "I forgot that we had nightguards!" The intruder said; he smiled so bright it lit ip the dark entryway, Scott ignored this.

The man's British accent was very obvious, which should have been weird in Utah. Though, his own Scottish accent coupled with the British of his fathers and Australian of his bosses made it feel semi-normal.

"Who are you exactly?" He asked, stepping closer with the taser now in hand.

The man stepped back, hands up in surrender, "Woah! Hey let's not get ahead of ourselves here!" He chuckled then abruptly stopped when he realized Scott wasn't laughing, "I'm Jimmy. I work here during the day."

"Jimmy" handed Scott his keycard. Scott looked it over, it was in fact a valid keycard. The same one Scott had hanging off his belt right now. Except clear as day were the words "Jimmy Fitzgerald-Solidarity" in the same spot where "Scott Afton" sat on his own badge.

"Weird-ass last name," Scott said, looking at Jimmy then back to the face on the key card before handing it to him.

"Oh uh-" Jimmy blushed, "Yeah! Sorry! Usually people just choose between the two!" He took the keycard and clipped it onto his pants, which is when Scott realized the hoodie he was wearing was cropped.

"Uh huh," Scott looked him up and down, to be honest, Jimmy was extremely attractive. He had tan skin and freckles that dotted his whole body. He also had big brown doe eyes that were honestly just adorable. Scott pushed all of that from his mind, "And why are you here at 3 in the morning?"

Jimmy blushed again, cute, "I left something here in my locker..." He muttered.

"And you remembered it at.... 3am?" Scott asked, skeptical, "You really shouldn't be here. It's not safe at night."

Jimmy gave Scott a confident smile, "I should be perfectly safe with you here!" He said before walking off to the employee area.

Scott groaned and face palmed before following the blonde. He was weary as they walked, watching out for the animatronics which happend to be nowhere to be seen currently. Scott couldn't tell if that was good or bad. He stood in the doorway as Jimmy located his locker. Then watched as he froze.

"What are you waiting for?" Scott asked, a bit colder than he meant to but overall he didn't care much.

Jimmy sheepishly turned to Scott, "Ah... you see I- uh... forget my locker combination.."

Scott blinked at him a few times, "Let me go get the master key from the desk." He sighed and Jimmy thanked him softly as he walked back to the main security office.
