The water was warm and welcoming. Not too hot or cold, just right for your tired and dry body. You didn't smell of any putrid odors, but the idea of cleaning off the invisible stench of pizza sauce and cake didn't seem like a bad idea. You gently sat your clean pair of clothes on the sink counter of the bathroom and trudged over to the door of the running shower. You took a second to check for your shampoo and conditioner and that everything was set for yourself. You smiled and started to take your PJs off. You stripped your shirt and tossed it some feet away, kicking your pants away next. You didn't take long to quickly get into the warmth of the shower, since the air around you was a chilly sensation that you disapproved of.

You sighed as you stood in the running water and held your arms. You cooed weakly in satisfaction. "I really needed this..." you mumbled under your breath, following with a quiet sigh. You closed your eyes gently. For a moment, you couldn't help think a bit about Freddy. His laugh was replaying itself in your mind, and it was an adorable sound in your thoughts. You smiled a little, but you caught yourself as you opened your eyes and stared at the wall across from you. Your lifted your fingers to your cheeks, knowing your face was a bit warm. Am I blushing?

You smiled weakly as you recalled the images of his adorable self appearing in your mind, but when your senses returned you couldn't help wonder why. "He really is quite sweet...and he tries to be better than his evil programming has intended for him." You bit your lip. The laughter and the sweet gentle eyes he had were now fading into the darkness fearful thoughts. The eyes you saw, the eyes that weren't his, were staring at you now. You shuddered and shook your head. You closed your eyes quickly in panic. "N-No...not now. H-he's fine...he wouldn't—" the sudden sight of monstrous teeth and hollowed out eyes were preying on you. You whimpered and quickly turned around, your eyes wide with fear.

Nothing.

It was just your imagination playing games with your worries. You sighed and looked down. He wouldn't...I know he wouldn't. In the midst of you thinking, there was a gentle knock on the door that could barely be heard. You looked up weakly from staring at the floor. You opened the door a little to call out. "Y-Yes?" You yelled a bit to get your voice across the sound of the running shower.

"H-Hey, it's me Freddy! I-I...I think you left something, and I was just bringing it for you!" He called back in a nervous yet cheerful tone. He stood outside the door, tapping his foot nervously. He looked around the darkness that lurked in the hall. He wasn't really afraid of it, but he was never up there at night. It just made him nervous, that's all. She's very brave coming up here, I'd be scared if I was her...

You could hear that tone of his voice clearly, but you weren't sure what you left, now that you thought about it. Despite that knowledge, you decided to let him in anyway. Besides, you trusted him a little to just bring something you left right? "Y-Yeah! Come in—" You reminded yourself that he was a one of the most innocent animatronics you knew, despite him being a mentally problematic robot every now and again. I must have concerned him by leaving without saying anything. Poor guy.

Hearing his summon, Freddy gently opened the door and peeked inside. He wiggled his ears for a moment before opening the door fully and closing it behind him. "I-I'm sorry to interrupt your time alone...I just thought I'd bring you your uh...thing." He mumbled. He wasn't sure whether to tell her or not about what the 'thing' was. He looked around the locker room, taking in the scenery. He hadn't been in a bathroom before, so this was new to him. The room felt fresh, even. The tile was shiny, and the now foggy mirror showed a foggy reflection of himself. He hummed in curiosity as he wiggled his ears.

You nodded and smiled, chuckling lightly at his reaction. "Thanks!" You blushed lightly in embarrassment, before pulling your head back behind the shower door. "I had no idea I left something. Good thing I have someone like you to help me out, right?" You sighed softly and hummed to yourself. You did your best not to pay attention to him being there, since he was still a guy, robot bear or not. You weren't sure if he had any clue at all about the embarrassing situation.
