The Manager and the Restless |[]| (William Afton X Reader)

[III] Now Hiring

You couldn't sleep. You were just too excited! William told you to meet him at a certain address on the far edge of town, you've had exactly three cups of coffee, a box of girl scout cookies, and half an hour of sleep, which meant you were ready to start your day!

You arrive at the address feeling... quite disappointed, actually. You stood in front of a small wooden cabin, with a few windows on the front. It looked like something you'd make on the first day of playing MineRaft. William told you not to expect much but... oh, speaking of the devil.

William Afton stepped out of his car, like a sexy angel coming down from heaven. His hair blew slightly in the wind, his dull purple eyes getting a feel of the place, slightly disgruntled, but not much.

"So, this is the place." he said slowly. He brought out a set of keys from his back pocket, unlocked the door and passed them to you.

"All yours." He stepped aside, letting you get the first glance inside. Both the wall and floors were wooden. There was a small room off to the side, presumably the kitchen, and right next to it were the restrooms. On the opposite end, there was the manager's office, and the room next to it was labelled "EMPLOYEES ONLY".

"The 'employees only' room can either be a storage room or a break room. Either way, once we get enough funds, we can expand the building."

You could make this work. You still had... $100. That's a start. You discussed your plans with William, but he recognized that these were endgoal plans.

"Start small." He said sexily as he sexily wiped his sexy eyebrow. "As you can tell, we don't really have a lot of funds at the moment. It was a miracle that we even got this place functional. Don't focus on the mascots yet, and don't forget that the press can impact what the people think of us."

You took note of the tips William gave you. You offered to talk over a candle lit dinner, to save on the electricity bills, and totally not because you wanted a romantic evening with William Afton, Fazbear Entertainment's very own Sexy Man.

Who would even want that, haha.

Anyway, he agreed, but noted that he had trouble seeing the plans in the (mostly) dark. So you went over to his side, and viewed the plans you made together. At the end of the night, William had enough and decided to leave. You stayed in the building by yourself, browsing your phone for catalogues where you can get cheap stuff. You were able to find a place called "Stan's Budget Tech", where there were cheap plates and cups, among other things you could use for your restaurant. You almost hit place order, before you realized that the shipping fee was ridiculous. You decided to lock up for today, and just go to their business place in the morning.

Luckily enough, Stan's had a warehouse a few blocks away from your place! Bob the warehouse guardian was relatively nice and even gave you an extra party hat, free of charge. You after buying a crap ton of cheap dining ware, you come across a bunch of rubbish characters. Like, characters made of actual garbage. Bob says that those guys were their mascots, which actually got them $1,000 as a prize for "Best Improvised Mascots".

You wiped away a single, MANLY tear, as you heard the awe-inspiring tale of how Trash and the Gang won the hearts of many, hoping that one day, you too would tell the tale of how your mascots rose above the others.

More ideas flowed through your head, soon you would open your restaurant to the world.

Now was the time to hire employees. You couldn't cook for shit, unless instant noodles counted, so you put out ads for actual cooks. You also put out ads for servers, because you'd much rather sit in the office and do financing and stuff while you're open instead of taking it home — like homework. You didn't have a name for your restaurant yet, so you just gave an address. You'd think of it once the time came.

Soon enough, you got an applicant!

"'Sup, I'm Kami. I can cook semi-decently."

"Uh, you're hired."

Before you even got a chance to let Kami sign the w̶a̶i̶v̶e̶r̶ contract, a new challenger burst in!

"I'm Eddy, I can cook! I can make sexy quesadillas!"

Kami suddenly stood up, yelling "I CAN MAKE THEM BETTER!"

You decided to hire them both, because you need the staff anyway, and you didn't tell them that you won't be adding sexy quesadillas. Yet.

While Eddy and Kami were fighting, Kato casually walked in.

"Kato? What're you doing here?" Like, wow, this chapter seemed like it was just a massive cameo roll or something.

"I could ask you the same thing myself, (Y/N)." They smiled and took a seat in the InterviewChair™, and you straighten up as you confidently state that you're now the manager for a kinda-sorta off-brand restaurant!

"Woah, really? William recommended that I work here while Fazbear's was closed, but I didn't know that I'd be working for you now!"

"H-Hewwo?" Oh wow, another employee! "I'm Charlie, coming in to join the wait staff?"

How convenient to have two cooks AND two servers apply, just one day before you decided to open your restaurant! You decided to take in all the applicants, since there were like- four. Maybe one day you'd get someone to man the register (once you actually have enough money to get a cash register), but for now your current staff'll have to do.

After a while of talking and signing legal forms with the newly-hired no-name pizzeria worker gang, you got ready to close up for the day. You decided to make your own group chat where you messaged the chefs and built the menu together. They joked about adding the sexy quesadilla to the menu, and thanks to your lack of impulse control, sexy quesadillas were now a thing you could order here at No Name's Nonspecific Dining Place.

The next day, you arrived at the restaurant, officially opening your doors to the public! Slow day though, as you didn't get a fancy news article dedicated to the opening of your restaurant. William said something about having a distinct lack of customers during the first few days unless you had anything exciting in store.

A few families came by, which was good. You finally had enough money to pay... exactly one employee. Huh. You'll get more by the end of the week! You were sure of it. But for now, this'd have to do. At the end of the day, you and your employees have a small party to celebrate your grand opening, eating sexy quesadillas and drinking sugar water with food coloring!
