The Things I Can't Take Back [Michael Afton x F! Reader]

"I know I can't change the past. I can never take back the things I've done. I know you'll never be able to look at me the same way you did back then... but I still love you."

Living as a 16-year-old in the 80's wasn't always as glamorous as people made it seem. These days, adults like to reminisce about their teenage years; wishing that they could travel back in time and relive "the good ol' days."

But you wanted to do anything to forget your teenage years. You wanted to forget all about that little diner you had worked at. You wanted to forget your creepy boss who seemed to have many dark secrets hiding behind his charming smile. You wanted to forget falling in love with his oldest son. But most of all... you wanted to forget the accident.

The year was 1983, and you had just landed a summer job as a waitress at Fredbear's Family Diner; a pizza place with creepy animatronic performers, and an even creepier man running the establishment. However, you never imagined yourself falling in love with the man's son; Michael Afton.

Michael was an infamous trouble-maker; always getting detention in school, getting into fights in between classes, and bullying his younger brother. So when said trouble-maker started to show an interest in you, you found yourself feeling a bit apprehensive. You figured he just thought of you as another one of his targets, and that he would break your heart the second he got a chance. But this fear didn't stop you from agreeing to go on a date with him. You were surprised to learn that even though Michael had a mischievous streak, he was completely sincere about his feelings for you. Michael had turned out to be so different than you had originally thought.

So for him to do something like that to his own brother... you couldn't bear to look at him again.
