Temptations~ a sequel to Springtrap x Nick

Chapter 10

Nick's POV

         After making up with Springtrap, I had felt like a weight had been lifted off me. I could focus more at work and I didn't feel as stressed as I normally would. I guess talking about my problems was a good idea. For some reason, I still had a lingering suspicion in the back of my mind. Of what, I have no clue, but I feel as if he's hiding something from me. I don't think I have anything to worry about though. At least I hope.

I don't have work for another few hours so I decide to make breakfast for myself. I put a waffle in the toaster and put some tea into the microwave. As I wait, I grab a newspaper and read the title
"New Lead for the Fazbear Killer"

                      It was about how, after some new investigation, they have a new suspect on who the murderer of the 5 children at the Fazbear restaurant might be. That's good. Another criminal might end up behind bars soon. I leave the newspaper on the table and get my tea and waffles. As I sit down to eat I hear hard steps come from the hall.

"Good morning Nick." I hear a metallic voice come from behind me.
"Good morning, Springy. How was your night.". I can feel his arms wrap around me as he looks over my shoulder at the paper.
"What's that on the news" he asked.
"Oh that? The police just found another suspect for the Fazbear killings. That good, right?". I could feel his arms tense up on my shoulders as he pulled himself off of me.
"Yeah..... that's great."
That wasn't exactly the answer I expected. I watched as he left the kitchen without a word back to me. No "See ya later" or "I'm back to bed", he just left. That was peculiar to say the least.  I decide to ignored this response for now, maybe I'll question it later, maybe not. I decide to rest for a few more minutes before I leave for work.

            I woke up on the couch and checked the time, I had two minutes to get to work. Wait.... SHIT. I get and run to get my jacket. I run to Deliah's room and and kiss her cheek before I leave for the door.
               "Bye Springy!". No response. I don't have time to question that right now. I run out the door and get into my car.

Springtrap's POV

                   I heard Nick run out the door as I went back outside to the kitchen. I picked up the newspaper and read the article. They were on to me. That's not good. If Nick figures out, he'll lose his shit.
                     "Good morning Springtrap!" I feel Deliah hug my stomach and see Trisha walk past me to the table.
"Good morning Deliah, you too Trisha."
"yeah, good morning."
She barely responded to me, but that wasn't much of a surprise. "Y'all want pancakes today?"
"Yeah!" Deliah replied.
I quickly go to put the news paper in my room and come right back. I can feel Trisha giving me a weird look before going back to the couch to watch T.V.
I get out the pancake batter and turn on the stove as Deliah helps get the plates out.
"So what do you guys wanna do today."
"I'm going out." Trisha says flatly.
"Can I come, Trish?" Deliah asks.
"I don't think that's a good idea, Trisha"
"Why not?
"I think you forgot what happened a few days ago."
"I won't lose Deliah, Springtrap."
"Still not a good idea.".
                Trish then gets off the couch and gets close to me. Closer than I would like at the moment. She trailed her finger up my stomach fur to my chin. She moved her face up next to mine to I could feel her breath.
"Are you sure it's not a good idea, Springy~".
"Fine, fine, fine. You can go but you both need to be back here before Nick gets off of work."
          Both girls cheered as they quickly ate their breakfast and ran off. I really wish that didn't work as well as it did but, this left me with enough time to get rid of the news paper.

I don't really want my life with this family to be ruined. Not yet. I'll tell them sometime soon. Maybe. Maybe not. I put the plates into the sink and then went to go get the newspaper. I ripped off the pages with the story on it. I then got a good idea. I went into Nick's room and pulled out a lighter from his desk. He didn't smoke he just had one, just in case. I rolled up the papers and lit the lighter. I was extremely careful as to not set off any smoke alarms or actually making the house catch fire.

I finished biting the pages and put them in the garbage under some other things so that Nick wouldn't notice them. I decided to sit on the couch and rest but then I heard a whisper that I hadn't heard in quite a while.
"You shouldn't have done that." One of those damn ghost kids. One of these days I'm gonna use a vacuum and get rid of these guys.
"Don't you think I know that already."
"Why don't you just tell them the truth."
"Do you think that he'd wanna stay with a dead child murderer that's trapped inside bunny suit?" The ghost stayed silent. "That's what I thought. Now go away." I could feel it's presence linger for a moment longer before it disappeared. I let out a sigh of relief as I turned on the T.V and watched.

Nick's POV

I came back from work to see about 10 bags from the local mall and Springtrap sleeping on the couch. I was going to go see the girls but I smelt something. A ... burning smell. I thought it was from the stove but it was off. I followed the smell and it lead to the garbage. I took some stuff off the top and saw burnt paper. Judging from the look of the remaining pieces, it looked to be the paper from this morning.

Why would someone burn that? I look at Springtrap and wonder. He's always so defensive when someone brings up his past and now when the Fazbear diner murders are mentioned he starts to act weird. I'll ask... no. I think I'll figure this one out on my own. Maybe I'm just overthink things. I look back at Springtrap again. Yeah, I'm just overthinking things. I go to kiss Springtrap and go to the girls rooms and kiss them both good night. I'll rethink everything tomorrow but right now, I want to sleep.

Hello everyone! I apologize for not updating for 6 months. I don't really have much of an excuse except that I fell out of the fandom for a bit. I think I'm back and ready to write more but I don't know. I'll see you all in the next chapter.
Icey Out!
