Behind the Curtains

Chapter 27 - Keeping Secrets

"Bonnie!!" Kitten's attention is immediately put on the purple-haired rabbit as her reflexes help her catch him before he can hit the floor. Helping him down to the ground, Chica rushes over to the two wanting to also ensure Bonnie is okay.

With his upper body now being held up in her arms, the pirate holds him against her body and immediately starts to panic internally. Turning to look at Chica, seeing that the girl has regret all over her face, Kitten starts worrying that Chica is going to tell the others about what she walked in on. "P-Please don't tell Freddy, Chica...! He'll freak out on me...!" she asks the blonde with panic and tears in her eyes.

"Kitten..." Chica says softly, if somewhat regretfully, as she looks up at the redhead. "I wanna keep your secret, but if Freddy finds out, and he'll know I knew about this... he'll get angry at all three of us!" Quickly shutting her eyes and turning her head to face the floor, the girl looks ready to cry. "I'm sorry!!"

Hearing her tone and knowing that Chica has full intentions of telling Freddy about what she saw... Kitten starts to freak out a bit as she holds Bonnie's passed-out form close to her own body. "Please Chica...!" she pleads with the girl as a tear starts to fall down her cheek. She can't let their leader know about what happened. "Freddy threatened to shut me off...! I'm really happy around Bonnie...! Please...! Please don't say anything...!" The pirate has a hard enough time trying not to break down crying, but she's close to that breaking point. A pained look crosses her face for a moment as she tries to get a hold of herself and calm down.

However, this sudden piece of new information stuns the blonde. "He said that...? I thought..." Chica says quietly, and mostly to herself, before looking down at Bonnie. Even though he's passed out, she can still see the clearly terrified look on his face. The guitarist is one of Chica's closest friends since Foxy usually keeps to himself and Freddy checks the records in the office during the night, Bonnie has been Chica's friend and playmate since the day they were trapped here. "I... I won't... I don't want to get in trouble either... but I'll keep your secret..." the younger girl says with a sigh.

Kitten's prayers are answered after hearing that, the pained expression leaving her face with worry. With a smile now showing and a few tears starting to roll down her cheeks, the redhead is in Chica's debt. "Th-thank you, Chica...! Don't worry," she starts with a sniffle, trying to get her composer back. "Bonnie and I will tell him when we're ready..." Glancing back down at Bonnie, she turns to look towards the other girl again. "Could you get a wet washcloth to put on his head, Chica?" she politely asks.

"Okay..." the blonde sighs before getting up and running back down the hall she came from to get back into the kitchen.

Looking back down at the purple rabbit, the redhead starts to tap his cheek with her hand while holding up his upper body with her arms. "Bonnie, wake up," she says kinda quietly, not wanting to startle him awake.

With a groan, Bonnie's eyes begin to flutter open, his vision slightly blurry from fainting. "Wha... What happened...?" he asks aloud before blinking a few times. As the musician's sight returns to normal, he looks up to see the pirate leaning over him. "Hi..." he says after a moment of awkward staring, the blush creeping its way back onto his cheeks. Bonnie could still feel a slight pain in his head from the fall, but he manages to keep it hidden, not wanting to worry her, and smiles.

Smiling at the sight of Bonnie's blush and hearing his soft voice, Kitten wipes her eyes to clear her tears. She doesn't want to worry him more than he already is either. "Hey Bon Bon," she chuckles before hugging him and closing her eyes. The male seems to just accept this as he relaxes in her hold.

About a minute passes before the sounds of Chica's shoes echo into the room as she jogs back into the main dining room with a damp, clean cloth in her hands. "I got it!" she exclaims before returning to her spot next to her two friends. "Hopefully it's still cold..." the blonde says a bit nervously as she hands the cloth to the feline.
