Michael Afton x Reader (The Return/Stay By My Side 2)

Chapter 3: Bargaining for the Job

    "Are you saying you're worried about me possessing an animatronic?!" I exclaimed. "Henry, that's ridiculous."

    "Let's be logical here," Henry said. "There are so many brand new animatronics here that aren't possessed. But if William got a hold of you, he very well might try to..." Henry's sentence trailed off.

    "He's not here, Henry," I insisted. "He's at Fazbear Frights."

    "You can't tell anybody this, Michael, but there are some weird looking animatronics in the back alleyway. I don't know how they got there; I didn't even buy them. I can't help but be concerned about it," Henry told me.

    "Why don't you just get rid of them?" I asked.

    "Because I use them for spare parts."

    "That doesn't mean that he's one of them."

    "There is a weird green looking one that looks like how you described him."

    "I'm not concerned."

    "But I am."

    "Even if William was there, I doubt he'd try to kill me," I said. "I don't think he wants me dead."

    "You don't know that, Michael. He tried to kill y/n."

    "That's different. They never had any kind of relationship. He didn't even like her that much in the first place."

    "Why are you so stubborn?" Henry groaned.

    "I'm persistent. I'm not going to stop until you say yes," I protested.

    "Can't you find any other job?"

    "I can work here until I find another job," I said. "Then I'll quit this job and take the other."

    Henry sighed. "Fine. I'll think about it."

    "Really?!"

    "I didn't say yes," he stopped me. "I said I'll think about it."

    "Well, when will I get my answer?"

    "I don't know, I'll need time to decide," he said. "Maybe in a few weeks I'll have decided."

    "A few weeks?!" I exclaimed. "I can't wait that long for an answer!"

    "Two weeks."

    "One week," I bargained.

    "Fine," he gave in. "One week."

    "Alright then, it's a deal."

    "I can't believe I'm agreeing to this," Henry sighed.

    "Me neither," I said. "I mean, you probably have every reason not to hire me."

    "I can change my mind."

    "You know what, pretend I didn't say that," I said. "Thank you, Henry."

    "Whatever..."

    I spent the rest of the day at home while I waited for y/n to come back from work. I was debating with myself on whether or not I should tell her about my conversation with Henry.

    I knew she would probably try to stop me. Even though this was a new location and William wasn't in the picture anymore, the job still probably didn't sound like a very good one, considering how the last time the two of us both ended up dead. 

    In all honesty, even I knew that it probably was a stupid idea. But it was for the better. At least until I could find another job.

I was deep in thought when I heard the door open. I got up from where I was sitting and went over to the door to say hi to y/n.
