Bittersweet (Springtrap x Reader) [DISCONTINUED]

Childish Games

(I can't believe I forgot my password to this account but I have it back now!! I can finally update this story and I won't have to deal with writers block problems... for now :1)

"Hello Miss, can you please point me in the direction of FUN?" Your voices exaggerated as your attention was focused on stacking the books on the current shelf in front of you.

"Yes, it's in the 'get out of my head' category through my ears." You answered back with a sly smile.

"Haha. I've forgotten how to laugh." They remarked sarcastically, with your only answer as rolling your eyes and an amused smile traced across your face.

"Too bad your love bunny can't be here, huh? You guys are too cute together!"
"They are definitely not cute."
"Are too! They're adorable!" Your eyes fluttered in surprise, realizing that 'your' thoughts just told you that a human and an animatronic can make a cute couple.

Well... now that you think about it, you're letting him live in your house; including you guys are now going to rent a house together. A haunted house, to be matter-of-factly...

While your day dreaming clouded your already busy brain, a few books you were stacking fell out. All of them were nonfictional but one book caught your interest.

'Understanding the Basics of Mechanisms' was printed across the book's cover. Looking over this book wouldn't hurt, especially if it comes handy with Springtrap. Tucking the book under your arm, you stack the rest of the novels, articles, and nonfiction pieces into their rightful places.

Walking back over to your station-like workplace, you opened up the book and began to read the most difficult introduction you've ever seen.

--(Timeskip: Hurry home like you just heard your hot pocket's timer go off (~•o•)~)--

"Hey Springtrap, I'm home!" You called out into the small living room. Your eyes were led to him reading a small book about children's rhymes and games. He looked up, a smile immediately plastered onto his face upon seeing you.

"Hey (y.n), how was your day at work?" He always asks you questions about so many things because of his inability to go outside. At times, you feel sorry for him, not being able to experience things like you do.

"It was good, I have a new book that I've been reading about. It might help me understand you more." This gained his own interest, his ear(s) twitching a bit as he tilted his head to the side.

"A book to understand me more? What's it about?" The way he looked when he was curious always made you smile; with that one-sided smile he always had on his face and the small action of leaning forward when he was interested.

"Well, it's called 'Understanding the basics of Mechanisms'. I haven't gotten far into the book but it's nice so far." Hearing that, he stood up.

"It's good to hear you're trying to learn a bit more about me, because I have a question about something you might have done as a child." His question made you furrow your eyebrows for a second before giving him the go ahead to ask.

"What's hide-and-seek?"
--------------------------------------------------------------

"Okay now just- no peeking Spring- just count to 30 and when you reach 30, you yell 'Ready or not, here I come!', ok?" You explained to the yellow rabbit.

He was a bit confused when you first told him what hide-and-seek was, but after the third (more like tenth XD) explanation, he was beginning to understand the concept. It was surprisingly easy for him to learn things very quickly; an ability he gained when Purple Guy had died.

As he began counting, you glanced around the room looking for a hiding spot. Behind the curtains? No, too obvious. By the couch? Too suspicious. Oh! The ultimate hiding spot! You silently moved into the kitchen as he was close to 30.

"Ready or not, here I come!" Springtrap yelled before you heard his footsteps echo around the small room. You held your breath as he moved closer, letting it out when he moved farther. He glanced by the couch, but didn't find you there. His confused face made you giggle for a second. You immediately stifled it as his ear twitched in your direction. He soon smiled, beginning to walk towards the direction he had heard you. Looking at your hiding spot, he started to laugh, making you smile.

"How on Earth did you get up on the refrigerator?" He managed to say through his laughing fit.

"I have the agility of a cat... That's untrue, I just realized I'm stuck up here. Can you help me down?" He shook his head at you while laughing but reached up with his arms as you swung your legs over the edge. You were surprised when he let you down as gently as possible.

"You know I'm not a porcelain doll, right?" Your own remark made you laugh for a second.

"I understand that, it's just.. I don't want to accidentally hurt you." He said unsurely, breaking eye contact for a short while. You rested your hand on his shoulder, looking up at him.

"It's alright Springtrap. I know you wouldn't purposely hurt me." Even with your reassurance, he seemed uneasy.

"...What if I can't stop him (y.n)?" His voice was wavering with worry and concern. The look he gave you reminded you of the night you almost died. The same emotion crossed his face, as if he was terrified of losing you for good. The hand you rested on his shoulder was now holding the side of his face.

"You have the strength to fight him off Spring, I know it. Don't lose hope because of one incident. You have good intent and an honest heart." You told him quietly.

His worried expression changed shortly into a relieved look while brushing a stray hair out of your face. Finally, you wrapped your arms around him in a hug, with him doing the same thing. It felt so natural to have him with you. You didn't want this to end. Your grasp tightened just a bit more as you relaxed in his embrace.

(So how was that lovey dovey scene? Did it make you squeal enough while you fangirled? XD I hope it did because these scenes are too cute.)
