This was the first night working at your new job... At Freddy Fazbear's. The warnings were right there, in the paper ad "not responsible for injury/dismemberment" and in the past history the franchise has in general. Disappearances of children... You shuddered at the memory. One of the missing children happened to be an old friend of yours and you knew the kid who'd got hurt in the bite... The 80s were certainly not a good decade for Afton robotics or Fazbear's.

You pushed open the door to the establishment, scents of pizza, cheese, tomatoes amongst other more unsavoury smells hit you. The boss was talking to another employee. Luckily for you, you'd arrived half an hour early thanks to your 4 alarms that you set and that meant that you could speak to your employer. He seemed preoccupied though with a tall, somewhat muscular male of a similar age to you. He wore a hat with the label "security guard" plastered over it and you could just about make out the letters on his name tag, "M I K E".

You sat on one of the tables while you waited for the Boss and Mike to finish talking. Fragments of conversation could be heard by you.
"Animatronics------ kill--- be dead by morning------" Mike's voice was quite deep and rough. He cleared his throat after talking and glanced at you not so discreetly. They seemed to come to an agreement and Mike walked off towards what looked like a staffroom.

"Hello. You must be y/n. It's nice to meet you. I'm Mr Cawthon, the owner of this part of the franchise and your boss," he introduced himself and held his hand out to shake yours. You returned the gesture after standing up.
"It's nice to meet you too Mr Cawthon," You replied, the common courtesies taught by your parents showing themselves. He smiled at you and gestured towards the staffroom before speaking," Your uniform is in there. Schmidt will show you to the office." He handed you the keys.
"Give these to him so he can lock up." With that, Mr Cawthon was gone.

You walked into the staffroom and found a locker with your name on it. Opening it up, you took out your uniform and double checked that no one could see you. No one seemed to be with you.. Mike must have left. You pulled your top up over your head and started putting on the light blue shirt when you heard a familiar voice.
"Uh..."
"HOLY SHIT!" You quickly covered up with the shirt and turned around to see Mike with his jaw dropped and a bewildered expression on his face. A blush spread across his face as he shut his mouth and looked diagonally at the floor.
"I'll be waiting outside," he told you and left.

You blushed all the way through getting changed and placed the cap on your head. It made you feel official with the "Security guard" written across it and your name on the shirt.
"Calm down y/n.. He didn't see anything. Just your back... Not anything bad..." You told yourself as you fixed your collar and straightened your hat on your h/c hair.

When you went outside, Mike was waiting for you, sitting on a table and staring at the animatronics. He seemed to hear you come in because he turned around and looked at you with a dead serious expression on his face.
"We have 3 minutes until midnight. Get moving down the hall. I'll explain ad we go," He got up and walked past you, down the corridor. Confused, you stood for a few moments before Mike yelled at you to hurry up.

The office was dark and bathed in a somewhat red light. Mike picked up a tablet and checked the time.
"1 minute..." He sighed," Alright sit in the chair. The animatronics will be waking up any second. Watch the cameras I'll handle the doors." He still hadn't explained what exactly you were doing.

The ring of the phone jolted you from your thoughts and Mike picked up.
"Hello? Hello hello?" Five minutes later and you knew exactly what this job was about.
"Survive till 6am," Mike nodded, sliding his hand across the front of his cap to fix it and nodding to you, a serious look in his eyes.

He looked like he'd seen some serious stuff, but you weren't about to ask him about it. Mike looked out the door and slammed it shut.
"Foxy doesn't usually come out on the first night..." He trailed off and then snatched the tablet from you.
"Hey!" You glared at him, earning an eye roll.
"Look. If Foxy is coming out then the others might come out too. I don't want die tonight," he paused," Do you?" You shook your head frantically and looked through the shut door to see Foxy. He looked different to how you remembered him, torn, broken and maimed, with his jaw hanging and an intelligent, sentient, look in his eyes.
"Get away from there. Foxy will drain our power if he doesn't fuck off," Mike grabbed your arm and yanked you away from the door then stuck his middle finger up at Foxy. The animatronic seemed to get the message and left.

You rubbed your arm and glared at Mike.
"I'm trying to save both of us. Those animatronics are not your friends. Whatever they used to be to you now they're not. They want to stuff you in a suit get that through your-" He was cut off by the sound of a music box playing.
"FREDDY FUCKBEAR DO NOT COME TO THIS OFFICE!" He yelled down the right corridor, sticking two middle fingers up at the animatronic bear halfway down the corridor. You couldn't help but laugh as you saw the jaw dropped look of the bear. Mike too chuckled. You held one hand up for a high five and after two moments of thinking Mike high fived you. You smiled as he slammed the door shut.
"Freddy Fazfuck isn't killing us tonight," he punched the air triumphantly and slid into the office chair, putting his feet up on the desk.

You chatted casually together for a few more hours, learning a bit about him and telling some things about yourself. By the end of it, you felt like you knew him better now. It turned out he was the kid who suffered a bite from one of the animatronics, as seen by the scars under his hat.

When the clock ticked to 6am, you celebrated but Mike just sort of nodded, as if he expected it.
"I have to do the day shift but you can just go," He told you, yawning. You felt equally tired and yawned too, stretching.
"Alright Mike. See you later," You waved as you started leaving.
"Wait." He stood up and rubbed his neck, a tad awkwardly. It was different to how Mike had been the whole time, calm and somewhat angry.

"Look about earlier.. I just wanted to say I didn't see anything and I didn't mean to walk in while you were dressing," a slight blush spread across his face, making him look grumpy but cute," I'm sorry." You looked him for a few seconds but then burst out into laughter. He looked so funny to you that you couldn't help it.
"Apology accepted!" You said between fits of laughter. He gave you an annoyed look, but that only served to make you laugh harder.
"Hey what do you think you're doin-" Mike was cut off by you falling into him as you tried to stop laughing. He held you steady so you didn't fall over and you couldn't help but blush too.
"Thanks for looking after me Mike.." You smiled at him then gave him a peck on the cheek. Before he had time to react, you walked out the door.

Maybe this job wouldn't be so bad after all...
