Night 2

Just so you guys know, the chapter titles aren't gonna have anything to do with the flow of time. I just thought saying night whatever would be a nice change from chapter whatever. Now on to the story!

✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵

Mark's second night on the job, he came into contact with M/N again. Unlike the previous night, however, they got more of a chance to talk.

The work wasn't horrible, despite Mark knowing something was definitely very off about the animatronics, but as long as M/N was around, they seemed to 'behave' more or less. There would still be some random movements, or the occasional wandering off the stage, but they would always return to their respective places soon enough and never came too close to the office. Because of this, Mark had decided to stay at the job for a while, and as the weeks passed, he and M/N grew closer and closer.

Mark's initial slight crush turned into something much more, and he wasn't sure how much longer he could hide his feelings for the handsome male. He knew the subtle smiles and small acts of kindness were probably just that, and tried to tell himself that as much and often as he could, but part of him wanted so badly to believe that they were signs that his crush felt the same way.

One night, Mark and M/N were hanging out like they had every night since Mark got the job. M/N was observing the children's drawings scattered around the office like they were masterpieces almost, while Mark sat at his desk, checking through the cameras (that was his job, after all).

"Hey, Mark," the h/c haired male called. "Come here for a minute."

"Alright," Mark replied, getting out of his seat to join the male. Unfortunately, on his way over, Mark tripped just as M/N turned toward him, ending with Mark falling into M/N. The h/c-ette was caught off guard and ended up falling backwards at the impact with the slightly shorter half-Asian man landing on his chest. Mark looked up to M/N's face, his own suddenly a slight pink. "A-are you alright?" Mark asked, concerned for his friend and crush, whose head had hit the floor pretty hard.

It took a second for M/N to respond. "Yeah, I think so," he replied, lifting his head and rubbing the back of it with his (left/right) hand. After a moment of M/N occupied rubbing the back of his head to soothe his sudden headache and Mark being distracted watching the male, M/N suddenly realized just how close Mark was. If he leaned in half an inch more, their lips would be touching. God, how he wanted that, but he couldn't do that to his friend.

M/N suddenly cleared his throat, awkwardly looking to the side, which caught Mark's attention. As soon as Mark realized how close they had been, his face caught fire. He could feel his entire face, ears, and neck burning with the intensity of his blush. He quickly scrambled to get off of his friend, but it was too late, M/N had seen his reaction. He would keep it to himself, though. Mark was probably straight, after all, and just flustered at the thought of being that close to a man rather than a woman. Once Mark had gotten off of him, M/N got up himself and both men tried to think of something to say that wouldn't make the situation any more uncomfortable.

Neither of them got the chance to say anything, however, as the alarm signaling the end of Mark's shift went off. "Well," Mark began, "that's my cue."

"Alright, see ya, man," M/N responded, giving Mark a stiff pat on the shoulder. With that, Mark made his way out of the building, and to the parking lot, noting that, as usual, his car was the only one there.

So, that was chapter two! Let me know what you think! ALSO! Last chance to guess what Reader is. I'm considering just not posting the next chapter until at least one person guesses. 😆 I'm really curious if anyone has any ideas of what's going on.

Anywho, vote and/or comment if you liked it. See ya!

Oh! And I'm thinking of doing an Anti x seme male reader, too, since I love Anti, but there are very few male reader stories about him, and no top/seme male readers, that I've been able to find, at least, so I wanna fix that. I already have a few ideas. Would anyone be interested?

Okay, for real, this time, see ya!
