Before this 2-parter starts...
I just gotta say that this was foreshadowed so long ago.

Gold's love for Springtrap was shown before Springtrap even considered being in love with him.....

Almost every chapter has had a connection to this in a way...

The Truth is revealed and multiple quotes from different chapters are used here to show hidden details leading up to this point.
You'll see.

Fredbear's Pov:

"You're...right" Spring said putting his hand down. "But you're also wrong." Spring said getting closer to Ron.

"You're right that I am jealous. I will accept that i'm jealous." Spring said making me feel...a little weird. He's jealous...but why?

"Oh, so you don't want anyone getting close to your bear. Is that it?" Ron said keeping his cocky act. "That's where you're wrong" Springtrap said as I was now confused.

"How can you be jealous but not want anyone to be near someone you like?!" Ron screamed at Spring.

"I'm jealous because...he deserves better. I know you and Fredbear aren't dating, that was clear to me when you held his hand." Spring said surprising me. He...knew?

"Fredbear usually talks a lot when he is comftable, but seeing how you had to respond for him made me suspect that he wasn't alright with what you did!" He said causing me to feel a little flustered.

How does someone pay enough attention to me to notice something so subtle...

"That's not true! He was just flustered is all" Ron responded. "Oh really? I don't think Fredbear's noticed this but his tail is a dead giveaway when he is flustered or excited. It's cute..." He said.

Does it really give it away-
I looked at my tail and it was wagging. Springtrap somehow knows me more than I do...

"Wow...Creepy much?" Ron said which at first confused me but did make me wonder a bit on how Spring has paid such close attention to me.

"I just want to make him happy...I don't want to make him feel sad. If I could, I would risk my life for him." Springtrap said which sounded like he was obsessed with me somehow.

"Sounds like you would risk so much for someone you have a crush on, don't ya think?" Ron asked.

"I owe him all i'm worth. He's the one who's kept my morals straight..." He said which sounded quite sad. What did I do?

"I also want to clarify one more thing..." Spring said leaning against a wall. "And that is?" Ron asked. "How's your kid?" Spring said which confused me. "W-what do you mean?" Ron said now a little anxious.

"I'd recognize that voice from anywhere, Ron. You didn't think I wouldn't figure out who you were?" Spring said which made me stand up at my desk not knowing how Ron and Spring would know each other...
Wait...

"Seriously? Ok, so the first step is try to make Springy jealous. If I'm able to make him jealous then that would prove that he likes you" he explained feeling weird as to why he kept referring Spring as 'Springy'...

That makes a lot of sense now...

From what I could see, it looked as if Ron took his hat off. "Hi Springy. Nice to see you again." Ron said as Spring only gave him a glare.

"Why are you doing with Fredbear? You've clearly made him uncomftable and forced him into something he didn't like". What Springtrap said was right. This whole plan did make me somewhat uncomftable but I am also to blame...

"Do you want me to tell you or would you want him to tell you himself?" Ron asked. "I'd like if he could tell me himself." Spring answered. As soon as he said that, I got up from my desk and walked out into the hallway as I entered the bathroom.

"Fredbear...tell me what the fuck you two were doing." Spring said as his voice became shaky. "We...did this because...I have feelings for you Spring..." I answered.

"I'm sorry Fredbear for making you think so highly of me..." he said his voice becoming less and less clearer to understand. "What do you mean Spring? You've made mistakes but that doesn't make you any less of a person" I said trying to comfort him.

"Stop. Do you know why I fainted back then when you lost your memory?" He said. "I don't, but it's been on my mind for a while now..." I admitted as he smiled a bit before it faded back into a sorrowful expression.

"I treated your horribly before you lost your memory and before then I had feelings for you. I knew I couldn't be with you for the way I treated you and I knew you'd hate me for it..." he said as I was catching on to what he was saying.

"When you lost your memory, I felt awful for being given a second chance with you with no consequences. So...I took it upon myself to do that..." I froze as I've realized why Spring acted so weirdly.

At first...

"Do y-you not remember who I am..." he asked his voice faltering a bit.

I shook my head. "I can't seem to remember much after visiting my family...did I get drunk or something because I have a massive headache right now" I said rubbing my head because it was hurting like hell.

"Well...shit. Sorry, how about you talk with the others right now..." he said getting up and walking over to the bathroom before closing the door.

___________________
I thought he was acting weird because...

"Hey, bunny." I said but got no response from him.
"Are you awake?" I asked and I got a grumbled response.
"

My name is Springtrap..." he said finally lifting the covers off of himself as his messy hair was shown. I could see the dry tear marks on his cheeks from earlier when I noticed he was crying.

____________________
He didn't expect me to forget, but...

"Nice to meet you Springtrap. I may not remember you, but would you like to go out on a run?" I asked putting on some shorts.

"Are you asking me to go on a run with you? You're not forcing me?" he asked and I chuckled.

"Why would I force you to go out on a run with me-" I was asking until he interrupted me. "I'm going on a run with you." he quickly replied as he grabbed a green and gold hoodie and brushed his messy hair.

In the end, all I managed to do...

"Don't you usually run faster?" Springtrap finally responded completely ignoring my favor. "Y-yeah, I just don't want you to-"

"Don't worry about me, i'll catch up at some point"

Was hurt him.

I could barely see Springtrap in the distance but I could see he was tired, exhausted even.

He became more and more sluggish as he was starting to become a little tipsy...
Even I was sweating a bit and he was wearing a whole hoodie...

"Spring...I..." I said starting to cry realizing my mistake and how stupid I was. I can't blame anyone else but me. Even Foxy questioned if I thought this was ok.

I explained to Foxy about what I wanted to do. "Are you sure about this Fredbear?" Foxy asked me. I hesitated for a bit and I knew I may regret it but I nodded.

"Fredbear, don't cry. You've helped me and it makes me happy that I can finally let it out." he said making me feel the guilt he once felt.

"No, Spring. I haven't helped you..." I said pushing him away a bit. "S-Spring...I've never told Y-Y-You...but I recovered my memory" I stuttered out feeling awful.

"You have?! T-that's great! When did you recover your memory? Today, right?" Spring said oblivious to what I meant. You idiot...
Please don't make me tell you...

"Spring...Just think. Think for once!" I screamed as the tears never stopped. He was a little suprised by my short outburst but I just needed him to realize. "I-I don't get what you mean." he said genuinely confused.

"Spring remember what happened when we lit the firework..." I said as I started to explain to him my side of the story...
__________________

"See? Told you that you could trust me." he said smiling at me. "Yeah, I guess I could trust you." I said giving him a warm smile.

Suddenly, right as the firework exploded, I started to...
Remember...

I...
Remember, but Foxy said...

"You will only remember what happened ever since you met Springtrap until after you've made sure that you can trust him, ok? Until then, you won't have any recollection about what happened." Foxy explained.

Does that mean I...trust Springtrap. I turned my head to face him.
He listened to me...
He didn't leave me to watch the fireworks alone tonight...
He even got us fireworks...

Springtrap turned to face me.
"What are you staring at big guy?" he asked as I seemed to snap out of it.

"Huh? Oh! Nothing. These fireworks aren't going to light themselves!" I said grabbing another and lighting it up. I walked back and looked at him again.

"Springtrap?" I asked.
"Hm?" he said facing me. I could feel that my tail was starting to wag like crazy.
"Thanks for today. It's been really fun today spending the way with you..." I said as we continued to light up fireworks.

"Thank you..." I whispered to myself as we spent the rest of the night having a lot of fun.

"You...It was that long ago, huh?" Springtrap said realizing how long ago it had been. "I'm sorry for not telling you, I-" I was interrupted as Springtrap put a finger up to my lips.

"You shouldn't have remembered." Spring said with no emotion. "W-what? Why?!" I said.

"How is it that you trust me enough to regain your memory...but not trust me enough to actually tell me..." he said and as much as I wanted to protest, he was right.

I trusted him enough to remember, but not enough to tell him that I was ok and that I could remember. "The fact that you had to temporarily erase your memory to even begin to trust me shows how much you hated me." he said pushing me away farther than I had.

"Spring, I didn't-"
"Shut up. Just...shut the fuck up. I'm tired of the bullshit and i'm done with you." he said as this was basically farther than a rejection.

"The only thing you saved from stopping me was preventing me from trying to bury you under the same fear of the other bosses i've ruled over" He said as he started to walk away.

"Spring! Stop-" I said trying to pull him back. But he suddenly grabbed my hand. "Huh" I said before being pinned to the ground by Spring. I tried getting up but I was unable to move an inch off the ground. He had me pinned down and I couldn't even struggle.

Somehow I had lost all my strength wether it had been by the guilt, the shame, or feeling weak towards Springtrap after these last couple of days.

"I no longer care for you. Don't try to touch me again" he said as I began staring into his eyes. I suddenly felt a cold shiver go down my spine as my body felt like sinking into the ground. "Heh, you're shaking." Springtrap chuckled as my eyes couldn't stop looking at his. The night he had tried to do this, his eyes were a different mood, but right now they felt like the scariest thing in the world.

Flashback:

I looked at the rabbit seeing as he closed the doors. He was trying to get something out of me. I looked directly at him as he had looked at me. We we're making eye contact at this point.

His eyes were so calming. It was a beautiful color that only made me want to look at the for a bit more. It caught me off guard and before I knew it, he had tackled me to the wall. He made more eye contact with me and it felt warm in the room.

I don't know what was causing this but it caught me off guard until he began speaking.
"Heh! Who's the boss now? Ya scared?" he teased which honestly brought me out of the trance I was in. He was about to pull on my tie more until I quickly grabbed his hand and I was able to catch him off guard...

Flashback End:

I was still staring at him and then I realized I had feelings for him from the beggining...

"Thank You...I now know that you are just like the others who want to stomp me down" he said letting go of me and letting me lie there...

Ron had left a while before we started arguing as the pizzeria had began to close, so I was left alone in the bathroom. I...I loved him from the beggining.

Springtrap's Pov:

I walked away leaving the bear to lay in the filth of the bathroom floor where belongs...
I thought back to the night I met him...

A memory suddenly popped into mind from the first night....

He was really close to my face, like we were just inches apart. I could feel his warm breath on my face as his eyes locked onto mine. He was growling as his grip never loosened from me.

As I was pinning him down earlier...his breath was cold...
There would only be a few reasons why his breath would be warm but...
No! It couldn't be...
But...

"I'm cold..." I mumbled as I snuggled up deeper into the large coat before smelling a calming scent. It was somewhat comforting and I felt the room get warm again.

"You sure? You seem like your sweating a bit? I myself think it's a little warm to wear a coat inside" he said pulling on his shirt's neck collar.
....
......
No! Why would we wear a coat inside the pizzeria, it's not even that cold-....

I looked over to my right and saw Fredbear fast asleep. I got closer to him as not even the covers were warm enough. I also knew that tommorrow he would go back to being the same old boss instead of the caring bear everyone portrayed him to be...

Suddenly, I felt someone grab onto me and noticed that Fredbear had began hugging me close and tightly as I felt his breaths go in and out.

The warmth of his fur made me cozy and his hug was tight but gentle. I slowly drifted off to sleep hoping this moment would last.

He...
He loved me despite me treating him as an asshole...
But he erased his memory...
Did he also not realize he loved me...
No...I've got to stop. He didn't even trust me from the start...

He's nothing...he's just like every other boss...
Nothing will change that.

Have they loved each other since the beggining despite their rough introduction?

I don't know...
Maybe.
Hopefully Springtrap doesn't do anything bad...
