Michael x AJ

- Before the two of them started dating, they have obvious crushes on each other. Well, obvious to anyone except the two of them. The Freddy's staff placed bets on who would ask the other out. The only one's who didn't take part in this were William and Scott.

- On her first night, Michael tried to threaten AJ to quit the job, knowing very well she likely wouldn't be able to survive on her own. Occasionally, AJ likes to remind him of that moment, and he gets a bit embarrassed and mumbles about how he wishes he could take it back sometimes.

- At first, Michael and AJ would be keeping their relationship on the down-low, as to not start shit with Arnold, or to give William another vantage over Michael.

- The two of them often love to cuddle with each other at work, usually doing it in the janitor's closet since Arnold is less likely to go in there.

- They'll try to get shifts together. Michael really doesn't want AJ working night shift all by herself, knowing how dangerous the animatronics can be, and with his father there during the day, he doesn't trust that possibility either. This has been going on even before they started dating.

- AJ was the first person Michael opened up to about committing a few of the murders, as well as his horrific childhood. While shocked and a bit terrified, AJ understood Michael didn't exactly have a choice.

- Michael had never really dated anyone else before AJ, being too depressed to even bother to put any effort into a relationship, or even have the desire to get into one.

- AJ had only ever been in one or two relationships before Michael, but they didn't last long, as she didn't exactly feel comfortable in those relationships.

- When the two of them cuddle, AJ likes to have Michael rest his head against her chest so she can play with his hair and tell him how beautiful and loved he is. The first time she did this, Michael cried because he had always wondered what it felt like to be held and loved like that. So she makes sure to do it often.

- The first time Michael invited AJ over to his home, it was to watch Immortal and the Restless together. Surprisingly, she liked it a lot and it became their favorite show to watch together.

- One year, AJ suggested they could go as Clara and Vlad together as a joke. Michael agreed and they actually went through with it. He ended up asking her out later that night during the Halloween party.

- Another Halloween costume they've done together is a moth and a lamp, because they thought it was funny.

- AJ loves to steal Michael's giant purple hoodies and sweaters. They're just so soft and warm and they smell like Michael.

- Michael has jokingly stolen and worn AJ's clothing as a response. Since the clothes are small on him, it's less adorable and more hilarious.

- AJ is willing to completely go against her brother's wishes to be with Michael, much to Arnold's annoyance. Him finding out about her and Michael dating was the first time that actually fought with one another.

- During his time "missing" Michael decided to adopt a white kitten to help with his loneliness and to give him something to do while in hiding. He decided to name it Marshmallow, because the cat reminded him of AJ and he missed her so much.

- When Michael finally showed his face again, he was prepared for AJ to be grossed out by the fact he was half-dead. Much to his surprise, and everyone else's, she was more relieved to see him than anything. They started dating again.

- It was a teensy bit awkward and it took a bit of time for AJ to get used to Michael's new appearance, and inability to die, but she eventually got used to it.

- AJ is usually a very sweet person, but when it comes to someone shittalking Michael, she gets quite the mouth and gets rather sassy and creative with her insults.

- Sometimes, AJ likes to make shitty puns. Michael will usually (gently) punch her arm and tell her to knock it off. Though, there are occasions that she actually does make him laugh with her puns. She takes a lot of pride when she does.

- AJ loves to make sweets, so whenever his girlfriend is in a down mood, Michael will go out and get some stuff to make cakes or cookies so the two of them can make sweets together and then they eat them afterwards. This usually cheers her up.

- Occasionally, Michael will have his own down times, and will start getting upset and comparing himself to his father. AJ calms him down by cuddling Michael and reassuring him that he's not anything like his father by telling him how wonderful and unique and amazing he is, and how proud she is of him for speaking up against his father.

- Michael occasionally jokes about how, if he isn't able to give AJ kids, he'll give her all the cats she could ever ask for. AJ replies that she could care less about children or kittens that, as long as she has him, that's all she could ever need.
